Before the Song Dynasty, the eight-character fortune-telling method was used, with the year representing oneself and the year of birth representing the five elements. For example, this year's Wu Jia, Nayinsha's gold, the person born this year is the golden life.

After the appearance of Xu Ziping in the Song Dynasty, the sun column and heavenly stems in the four pillars of eight characters represent the main life, and the sun column and heavenly stems are the five elements of the main life. If Rizhu is Wu Jia, then Jia Mu is the five elements of life.

As for the number of elements in the five elements, the specific eight characters can not be clearly stated in one sentence.
