天符者，中运与司天相符也。如丁年木运，上见厥阴风木司天，即丁巳之类，共十二年。
太乙天符者，如戊午年以火运火支，又见少阴君火司天，三合为治也，共四年。

岁会者，中运与年支同其气化也。如木运临卯木，火运临午火之类，共八年。

同天符同岁会者，中运与在泉合其气化也，阳年曰同天符，阴年曰同岁会。如甲辰年阳土运而
太阴在泉，则为同天符；癸卯年阴火运而少阴在泉，则为同岁会。共十二年。
天符岁会者，气运相符之谓也。六微旨大论曰∶天气始于甲，地气始于子，子甲
相合，命曰岁立。气运相临，而天符岁会、盛衰虚实所由生矣。故每岁天地之令，各
有上中下三气之分∶司天者主行天令，行乎上也；岁运者主生化运动之机，行乎中也；
在泉者主地之化，行乎下也。遇而同其气者化之平，遇而异其气者化之逆。故曰非其位则邪，当其位则正，
邪则变甚，正则微也。又曰∶天符为执法，岁会为行令，太乙天符为贵人。中执法者，其病速而危；
中行令者，其病徐而持；中贵人者，其病暴而死。虽天符岁会，皆得纯正之气；然其过
亢，则未免中邪亦有轻重。故中岁会者为轻，以行令者之权轻也；中天符者为重，以执法者
之权重也；中太乙者为尤重，以三气皆伤而贵人之不可犯也。故天元纪大论曰知迎知随，气可与期也。
天符者，天元纪大论曰∶应天为天符。谓中运之气，与司天之气相同者，命曰天符，符
之为言合也。如六微旨大论曰木运之岁，上见厥阴，火运之岁，上见少阳、少阴，土运之岁，
上见太阴，金运之岁，上见阳明，水运之岁，上见太阳者是也。又六元正纪大论曰∶戊子戊
午太征，上临少阴；戊寅戊申太征，上临少阳；丙辰丙戌太羽，上临太阳，如是者三。丁巳丁
亥少角，上临厥阴；乙卯乙酉少商，上临阳明；己丑己未少宫，上临太阴，如是者三。前三
者，言三太也。后三者，言三少也。上者，言司天也。临者，天运相临也。二论之词不同，
而义则一也。天符共十二年，而戊午乙酉己丑己未四年又是岁会，然既为天符，又为岁会，是天气运气岁支
三者俱会，乃为太乙天符也。如戊午年戊为火运，午年君火司天，又午属南方火位，故曰三合为治也。
太乙天符者，尊之之号也，故太乙天符称贵人，共四年，即戊午己丑己未乙酉是也。详见前天符论中。
岁会者，天元纪大论曰∶承岁为岁值。乃中运之气，与岁支相同者是也。六微旨大论
曰∶木运临卯，火运临午，土运临四季，金运临酉，水运临子，所谓岁会，气之平也。不分阴
年阳年，但取四正之支与运相合，乃为四直承岁。四正支者，子午卯酉是也。如辰戌丑未
四年，土无定位，寄旺于四时之末，各一十八日有奇，则亦通论承岁也。岁会共计八年，而
四年同于天符，是即太乙天符也。按八年之外，犹有四年类岁会而实非者，如壬寅皆木，庚
申皆金，癸巳皆火，辛亥皆水，亦是运与年支相合，而不为岁会者，以不当四正之位故也。
然除壬寅庚申二阳年不相和顺者无论，至若癸巳辛亥二阴年，虽不为岁会，而上下阴阳相
佐，亦得平气，其物生脉应，亦皆合期也。
同天符同岁会者，言中运之气与在泉相合也；但分阳年曰同天符，阴年曰同岁会。六
元正纪大论曰∶甲辰甲戌太宫，下加太阴；壬寅壬申太角，下加厥阴；庚子庚午太商，下加阳
明，如是者三。三者，谓三太之年为同天符也。又曰∶癸巳癸亥少征，下加少阳；辛丑辛未
少羽，下加太阳；癸卯癸酉少征，下加少阴，如是者三。三者，谓三少之年为同岁会也。故
又曰太过而加同天符，即三太之年也；不及而加同岁会，即三少之年也。下加者，在泉为下也。
右天符十二年，太乙天符四年，岁会八年，同天符六年，同岁会六年，五者分而言之，共
三十六年。然太乙天符四年，已同在天符十二年中矣，岁会八年，亦有四年同在天符中矣，
故合而言之，六十年中，止得二十八年也。六元正纪大论曰凡二十四岁者，盖止言天符十
二年，同天符同岁会共十二年，总为二十四年，而不言岁会及太乙天符也，亦所当审。
天符的图说
所谓天符，是指中运（当年的岁运）与司天之气相符合。例如丁年木运，上方遇到厥阴风木司天，就是像丁巳年这样的情况，共有十二年。
太乙天符，例如戊午年，火运且地支为午火，又遇到少阴君火司天，天、运、支三者相合共同主事，共有四年。
岁会的图说
所谓岁会，是指中运与年支的气化属性相同。例如木运临卯年（卯属木），火运临午年（午属火）等情况，共有八年。
所谓同天符和同岁会，是指中运与在泉之气的气化相符合。阳年称为同天符，阴年称为同岁会。例如甲辰年，阳土运而太阴湿土在泉，就称为同天符；癸卯年，阴火运而少阴君火在泉，就称为同岁会。这种情况共有十二年。
所谓天符和岁会，就是指气运相互符合。《素问·六微旨大论》说：“天气始于甲，地气始于子，子与甲相合，确立岁名。”气运相互叠加，天符、岁会以及盛衰虚实的情况由此产生。所以每年的天地之气，各有上、中、下三气的区分：司天主管执行天的命令，行于上部；岁运主管生化运动的机理，行于中部；在泉主管地的化生，行于下部。如果遇到与之相同的气，则气化平和；如果遇到与之不同的气，则气化逆乱。所以说，不在其位则为邪气，在其位则为正气，邪气致病变化剧烈，正气致病变化轻微。又说：天符好比执法者，岁会好比行令者，太乙天符好比贵人。触犯执法者（天符），疾病发生迅速且危险；触犯行令者（岁会），疾病发展缓慢且持久；触犯贵人（太乙天符），疾病暴烈且致死。虽然天符和岁会都得到纯正之气；但是如果过于亢盛，难免也会使人受邪，只是轻重不同。所以触犯岁会的病情较轻，因为行令者的权力较小；触犯天符的病情较重，因为执法者的权力较大；触犯太乙天符的病情尤其严重，因为三气皆受损伤，且贵人之气不可冒犯。所以《素问·天元纪大论》说：“知道迎随气运的变化，就可以预测气的变化了。”
关于天符，《天元纪大论》说：“应天者为天符。”意思是中运之气与司天之气相同的，叫做天符。“符”就是“合”的意思。如《六微旨大论》所说：木运之年，上方见到厥阴；火运之年，上方见到少阳、少阴；土运之年，上方见到太阴；金运之年，上方见到阳明；水运之年，上方见到太阳，这就是天符。又如《六元正纪大论》所说：戊子、戊午年，大运为太徵（火运），上方临少阴君火；戊寅、戊申年，大运为太徵（火运），上方临少阳相火；丙辰、丙戌年，大运为太羽（水运），上方临太阳寒水，像这样的有三次。丁巳、丁亥年，大运为少角（木运），上方临厥阴风木；乙卯、乙酉年，大运为少商（金运），上方临阳明燥金；己丑、己未年，大运为少宫（土运），上方临太阴湿土，像这样的也有三次。前三次说的是三个“太”（太过之年），后三次说的是三个“少”（不及之年）。“上”指的是司天，“临”指的是天运相叠加。两篇论述的词句不同，但含义是一致的。天符共有十二年，其中戊午、乙酉、己丑、己未这四年又是岁会，既然既是天符，又是岁会，那么天、运、岁支三者俱会，这就叫做太乙天符。例如戊午年，戊为火运，午年君火司天，且午属于南方火位，所以说三者相合共同主事。
太乙天符是尊称，所以太乙天符被称为贵人，共有四年，即戊午、己丑、己未、乙酉年。详见前文的天符论中。
关于岁会，《天元纪大论》说：“承岁者为岁值。”即中运之气与岁支相同的情况。《六微旨大论》说：“木运临卯，火运临午，土运临四季（辰戌丑未），金运临酉，水运临子”，这就是所谓的岁会，是气运平和的表现。不分阴年阳年，只要取四正之支（子午卯酉）与运相合，就称为四直承岁。四正支就是子、午、卯、酉。至于辰、戌、丑、未四年，土无固定位置，寄旺于四季之末，各有一十八天多，那么也通称为承岁。岁会共计八年，其中有四年与天符重合，那就是太乙天符。按此推算，在八年之外，还有四年类似岁会但实际上不是岁会的情况，如壬寅年干支皆木，庚申年干支皆金，癸巳年干支皆火，辛亥年干支皆水，这也是运与年支相合，但不算作岁会，因为它们不处于四正之位。然而，除去壬寅、庚申这两个阳年不相和顺的情况不论，至于癸巳、辛亥两个阴年，虽然不算岁会，但上下阴阳相互辅助，也能得到平气，其万物生长、脉象反应，也都符合时节。
关于同天符和同岁会，是指中运之气与在泉之气相合；只分阳年为同天符，阴年为同岁会。《六元正纪大论》说：甲辰、甲戌年，大运为太宫（土运），下方加临太阴湿土；壬寅、壬申年，大运为太角（木运），下方加临厥阴风木；庚子、庚午年，大运为太商（金运），下方加临阳明燥金，像这样的有三次。这三次，指的是三个“太”之年为同天符。又说：癸巳、癸亥年，大运为少徵（火运），下方加临少阳相火；辛丑、辛未年，大运为少羽（水运），下方加临太阳寒水；癸卯、癸酉年，大运为少徵（火运），下方加临少阴君火，像这样的有三次。这三次，指的是三个“少”之年为同岁会。所以又说：太过之年加上在泉之气称为同天符，即三个“太”之年；不及之年加上在泉之气称为同岁会，即三个“少”之年。“下加”是指在泉位于下方。
以上统计，天符十二年，太乙天符四年，岁会八年，同天符六年，同岁会六年，这五种情况分开来说，共三十六年。但是太乙天符的四年，已经包含在天符的十二年中了；岁会的八年，也有四年包含在天符中了。所以合起来说，六十年中，只有二十八年。《六元正纪大论》说“凡二十四岁者”，大概只说了天符十二年，同天符和同岁会共十二年，总共二十四年，而没有提到岁会及太乙天符，这也是应当仔细审察的。
Figure and Explanation of Tianfu and Suihui
**Tianfu (Heavenly符)**
Tianfu refers to the situation where the Central Yun (annual governing Qi) corresponds with the Si Tian (Heavenly Qi presiding over the upper part). For example, in a Ding year with Wood Yun, if the upper position is Jueyin Wind-Wood Si Tian, such as in the Ding-Si year, there are twelve such years in total.
**Taiyi Tianfu (Supreme Heavenly符)**
Taiyi Tianfu occurs when, for instance, in a Wu-Wu year, the Fire Yun coincides with the Wu branch (Fire), and Shaoyin Ministerial Fire is the Si Tian. The three elements—Heaven, Yun, and Branch—combine to govern together. There are four such years.
**Suihui (Year Meeting)**
Suihui refers to the situation where the Central Yun shares the same Qi transformation attribute as the Year Branch. For example, Wood Yun meeting Mao (Wood) or Fire Yun meeting Wu (Fire). There are eight such years in total.
**Tongtianfu and Tongsuihui (Same Heavenly符 and Same Year Meeting)**
Tongtianfu and Tongsuihui refer to the alignment of the Central Yun with the Zai Quan (Earthly Qi presiding over the lower part). In Yang years, it is called Tongtianfu; in Yin years, it is called Tongsuihui. For example, in a Jia-Chen year, Yang Earth Yun with Taiyin Damp-Earth Zai Quan constitutes Tongtianfu; in a Gui-Mao year, Yin Fire Yun with Shaoyin Ministerial Fire Zai Quan constitutes Tongsuihui. There are twelve such years in total.
Tianfu and Suihui denote the correspondence of Qi transformations. *Suwen: Liweizhi Dalun* states: "Heavenly Qi begins with Jia, Earthly Qi begins with Zi. When Zi and Jia combine, the year is established." Through the superposition of Qi transformations, phenomena such as Tianfu, Suihui, and their fluctuations of excess and deficiency arise. Thus, the Heavenly and Earthly commands of each year are divided into Upper, Middle, and Lower Qi: Si Tian governs the Heavenly command, acting in the Upper; Yun governs the mechanism of growth and transformation, acting in the Middle; Zai Quan governs Earthly transformation, acting in the Lower. When encountering matching Qi, the transformation is balanced (Ping); when encountering mismatched Qi, the transformation is adverse (Ni). Therefore, it is said: "Not in its proper position is Evil Qi; in its proper position is Correct Qi. Evil Qi causes severe changes, while Correct Qi causes mild changes." It is also stated: "Tianfu is like an Law Enforcer, Suihui is like a Law Executor, and Taiyi Tianfu is like a Noble Person." Striking the Law Enforcer (Tianfu) results in rapid and critical illness; striking the Law Executor (Suihui) results in slow and persistent illness; striking the Noble Person (Taiyi Tianfu) results in sudden and fatal illness. Although both Tianfu and Suihui possess pure Qi, if they become excessively hyperactive, they inevitably cause pathogenic invasion, varying in severity. Thus, illness from Suihui is lighter because the Executor's authority is lesser; illness from Tianfu is heavier because the Enforcer's authority is greater; illness from Taiyi Tianfu is most severe because all three Qi are injured, and the Noble Person's Qi cannot be offended. Hence, *Suwen: Tianyuanji Dalun* says: "Knowing how to welcome and follow the Qi allows one to predict its changes."
Regarding Tianfu, *Tianyuanji Dalun* states: "Responding to Heaven is Tianfu." This means the Central Yun Qi is identical to the Si Tian Qi. "Fu" implies combination. As *Liweizhi Dalun* states: In Wood Yun years, Jueyin appears above; in Fire Yun years, Shaoyang and Shaoyin appear above; in Earth Yun years, Taiyin appears above; in Metal Yun years, Yangming appears above; in Water Yun years, Taiyang appears above. These are Tianfu cases. Furthermore, *Liuyuan Zhengji Dalun* states: In Wu-Zi and Wu-Wu years, Great Zhi (Fire Yun) is above Shaoyin; in Wu-Yin and Wu-Shen years, Great Zhi (Fire Yun) is above Shaoyang; in Bing-Chen and Bing-Xu years, Great Yu (Water Yun) is above Taiyang. These constitute three instances. In Ding-Si and Ding-Hai years, Minor Jue (Wood Yun) is above Jueyin; in Yi-Mao and Yi-You years, Minor Shang (Metal Yun) is above Yangming; in Ji-Chou and Ji-Wei years, Minor Gong (Earth Yun) is above Taiyin. These constitute another three instances. The former three refer to "Great" (Excess) years; the latter three refer to "Minor" (Deficiency) years. "Above" refers to Si Tian; "Lin" (overlooking/superimposing) refers to the superposition of Heavenly Yun. Although the wording differs between these two treatises, the meaning is consistent. There are twelve Tianfu years in total. Among them, Wu-Wu, Yi-You, Ji-Chou, and Ji-Wei are also Suihui years. Since they are both Tianfu and Suihui, the Heaven, Yun, and Year Branch converge, forming Taiyi Tianfu. For example, in the Wu-Wu year, Wu represents Fire Yun, Wu year has Ministerial Fire Si Tian, and Wu belongs to the Southern Fire position. Thus, it is said that the three combine to govern.
Taiyi Tianfu is an honorific title, hence referred to as the Noble Person. There are four such years: Wu-Wu, Ji-Chou, Ji-Wei, and Yi-You. See the previous discussion on Tianfu for details.
Regarding Suihui, *Tianyuanji Dalun* states: "Inheriting the Year is Sui Zhi." This refers to the Central Yun Qi being identical to the Year Branch. *Liweizhi Dalun* states: "Wood Yun meets Mao, Fire Yun meets Wu, Earth Yun meets the Four Seasons (Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei), Metal Yun meets You, Water Yun meets Zi." This is called Suihui, representing balanced Qi. Regardless of Yin or Yang years, if the Four Cardinal Branches (Zi, Wu, Mao, You) align with the Yun, it is called Si Zhi Cheng Sui. The Four Cardinal Branches are Zi, Wu, Mao, and You. For Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, Earth has no fixed position but thrives at the end of the four seasons, lasting about eighteen days each; thus, they are also generally considered as inheriting the Year. Suihui totals eight years. Four of these overlap with Tianfu, constituting Taiyi Tianfu. Outside these eight years, there are four years resembling Suihui but not technically so, such as Ren-Yin (both Wood), Geng-Shen (both Metal), Gui-Si (both Fire), and Xin-Hai (both Water). Here, Yun and Branch match, but they are not Suihui because they do not occupy the Four Cardinal positions. However, excluding the two Yang years (Ren-Yin, Geng-Shen) which lack harmony, the two Yin years (Gui-Si, Xin-Hai), though not Suihui, have Yin and Yang assisting each other, achieving balanced Qi. Their biological generation and pulse responses also conform to the season.
Regarding Tongtianfu and Tongsuihui, this refers to the alignment of Central Yun with Zai Quan. Yang years are Tongtianfu; Yin years are Tongsuihui. *Liuyuan Zhengji Dalun* states: In Jia-Chen and Jia-Xu years, Great Gong (Earth Yun) is added below Taiyin; in Ren-Yin and Ren-Shen years, Great Jue (Wood Yun) is added below Jueyin; in Geng-Zi and Geng-Wu years, Great Shang (Metal Yun) is added below Yangming. These three instances refer to the three "Great" years as Tongtianfu. It further states: In Gui-Si and Gui-Hai years, Minor Zhi (Fire Yun) is added below Shaoyang; in Xin-Chou and Xin-Wei years, Minor Yu (Water Yun) is added below Taiyang; in Gui-Mao and Gui-You years, Minor Zhi (Fire Yun) is added below Shaoyin. These three instances refer to the three "Minor" years as Tongsuihui. Thus, it is said: Excess years adding Zai Quan are Tongtianfu (the three Great years); Deficiency years adding Zai Quan are Tongsuihui (the three Minor years). "Added below" means Zai Quan is in the lower position.
Summarizing the above: Tianfu (12 years), Taiyi Tianfu (4 years), Suihui (8 years), Tongtianfu (6 years), and Tongsuihui (6 years). Counted separately, they total 36 years. However, the 4 Taiyi Tianfu years are included within the 12 Tianfu years; and 4 of the 8 Suihui years are also within the Tianfu years. Therefore, counted collectively, within a 60-year cycle, there are only 28 years. *Liuyuan Zhengji Dalun* mentions "twenty-four years," likely referring only to Tianfu (12 years) plus Tongtianfu and Tongsuihui (12 years), totaling 24 years, excluding Suihui and Taiyi Tianfu. This distinction requires careful examination.
