In Bazi reading, the Day Stem represents a person. By understanding the characteristics of the Daymaster element, we gain insights into a person’s personality, inclinations, career, relationships, health, and potential life trajectory.
There are 10 Daymasters, corresponding to the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) each divided into Yin and Yang. This results in 10 Daymasters. Today, we focus on the Jia Wood Daymaster, also known as the Yang Wood Daymaster.

Classic Text Description of Jia Wood Element
“The mighty tree rises, connecting the earth and heavens above. Stable and solid with roots sinking deep into the rich earth, He does not like to move or change anything around about. From rain and stream, also unseen, it is moisture, Slowly seeping in to add fluidity and promote his great strength. The heavenly sun provides energy for life and growth, Minerals enrich and nourish his essence. The earth below gives the tree his bedding, Adding strength and foundation to conquer all. Day by day the mighty tree rises – the earthly filter, Indeed the great provider for all living breath. With so much to give, All around can enjoy his bounty and harvest. Strong and fearless, but wait! One challenge can make him tremble, He shies away from any legal challenge, quivering from the sharp axe threat.”
