Which years are considered as "Great Forest Wood" (大林木命)?
— Wu Chen (1928, 1988) - Great Forest Wood
Fate pattern: Chen contains Wu, Yi, and Gui. Wu and Gui combine to form wealth, and Wu's wealth store is in Chen, hence called "Shentou Lu" (神头禄). Wu Chen belongs to the "Great Forest Wood" in the Five Elements, representing trees with beautiful flowers and abundant fruits. People with Wu Chen in their birth year prefer water and earth to support them, as water is the source of wealth and earth provides assistance. However, if the fate pattern includes fire and metal, it will be unfavorable. Wu earth produces metal, so this type of person is said to have a refined and outstanding destiny.
— Ji Si (1929, 1989) - Great Forest Wood
Ji Si represents wood growing near fire. Ji earth can produce metal, and Si contains the birthplace of metal. Si also contains Wu earth and Bing fire, so metal cannot cut this wood. However, it fears strong metal or the "Jianfeng Jin" (剑锋金) from Ren Shen and Gui You. Ji Si is located in the Xun direction, representing wind-moving wood, which has weak roots and is easily uprooted. It benefits from the southeast direction to grow properly. It has an external yang and internal yin nature. Without support, its roots become scattered, and if it encounters metal as an enemy, it becomes useless wood.
