Wuyun ‘Five Movements’
• 岁运 Suìyùn ‘Annual Yun’ (circulatory phase, cycle or period)

• Determined by yearly 天干 Tiāngàn ‘Heavenly Stem’ (ny?)
• General underlying influential climate over the entire year –
  Wind, Heat, Damp, Dry or Cold, corresponding to five viscera

• Yang stem years are termed 太过 Tàiguò
  ‘Excessive’ and are associated with more violent
  climate changes from the host damaging the wife
• Yin stem years are called 不及 Bùjí ‘Inadequate’
  the host is weak and this deficiency leads to an excess
  of the husband (controlling) element

  are traditionally used to represent
  the movement rather than yinyang
  pairings and five elements
