How to Derive (玉堂)
Rule: Use the Year Branch (年支) as the key. Match it to the target branch below. If any of the Four Pillars (Year / Month / Day / Hour) equals the target branch, Jade Hall is present.
| Year Branch (年支) | 玉堂 appears when any pillar contains… |
|---|---|
| 子 Rat | 卯 Rabbit |
| 丑 Ox | 巳 Snake |
| 寅 Tiger | 未 Goat |
| 卯 Rabbit | 酉 Rooster |
| 辰 Dragon | 亥 Pig |
| 巳 Snake | 丑 Ox |
| 午 Horse | 卯 Rabbit |
| 未 Goat | 巳 Snake |
| 申 Monkey | 未 Goat |
| 酉 Rooster | 酉 Rooster |
