星癸一百七十：辰子二千二十九，辰丑二千三十，辰寅二千三十一，辰卯二千三十二，辰辰二千三十三，辰巳二千三十四，辰午二千三十五，辰未二千三十六，辰申二千三十七，辰酉二千三十八，辰戌二千三十九，辰亥二千四十。

The 170th cycle, with the heavenly stem癸 (Gui), is the second ten-cycle of the巳 (Si) convergence, and in this cycle the heavenly stems are exhausted for the second round of this convergence. The next cycle will begin again with the heavenly stem甲 (Jia). The twelve ages span from the 2029th to the 2040th: the Zi age ends at the 2029th, the Chou age ends at the 2030th, and the Hai age ends at the 2040th. Twenty cycles total 7,200 years, accounting for two-thirds of the 10,800-year巳 (Si) convergence. This cycle lasts 360 years, corresponding to the sixth 60,841st to the 61,200th year of the great cycle.

The 171st cycle, with the heavenly stem Jia, corresponds to the second十一th cycle of the巳 group, and the third round of heavenly stems begins here. The twelve generations covered are from the 2041st to the 2052nd, starting with Zi and ending with Hai, each earthly branch representing one generation. The You generation exactly reaches the 2050th. Each generation lasts thirty years, making this cycle 360 years long. Within the first yuán of 12,960,000 years, this cycle spans from the 6,1201st to the 6,1560th year.

星乙一百七十二：辰子二千五十三，辰丑二千五十四，辰寅二千五十五，辰卯二千五十六，辰辰二千五十七，辰巳二千五十八，辰午二千五十九，辰未二千六十，辰申二千六十一，辰酉二千六十二，辰戌二千六十三，辰亥二千六十四。

The 172nd cycle, with the heavenly stem paired with Yi, is the 22nd cycle of the Si (Snake) group. The twelve generations span from the 2053rd to the 2064th, with the last generation exactly reaching the 2060th. After this cycle, the remaining cycles in the Si group amount to eight cycles, or 2,880 years; in terms of the great cycle, the 4,320 generations of one cycle have already passed the 2064th generation. This cycle lasts 360 years, corresponding to the 61,561st to the 61,920th year of one great cycle.

星丙一百七十三：辰子二千六十五，辰丑二千六十六，辰寅二千六十七，辰卯二千六十八，辰辰二千六十九，辰巳二千七十，辰午二千七十一，辰未二千七十二，辰申二千七十三，辰酉二千七十四，辰戌二千七十五，辰亥二千七十六。

The 173rd cycle, with the heavenly stem paired as Bing, corresponds to the second十三th cycle of the巳 group. The twelve generations under this cycle span from the 2065th to the 2076th generations: the five generations of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, and Chen reach up to the 2069th generation, the generation of Si is completed at the 2070th generation, and the six generations of Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai continue from the 2071st to the 2076th generation. This cycle lasts 360 years, corresponding to the 61,921st to the 62,280th year of the Great Cycle.

星丁一百七十四：辰子二千七十七，辰丑二千七十八，辰寅二千七十九，辰卯二千八十，辰辰二千八十一，辰巳二千八十二，辰午二千八十三，辰未二千八十四，辰申二千八十五，辰酉二千八十六，辰戌二千八十七，辰亥二千八十八。

The 174th cycle, paired with the heavenly stem Ding, corresponds to the second十四th cycle of the巳 group. The twelve generations span from the 2077th to the 2088th, beginning with Zi and ending with Hai, completing one cycle of the earthly branches. The卯 cycle exactly reaches the 2080th. Shao Yong created this table to illustrate that "time has a fixed number": the great cycle, the cycle, the cycle of years, and the years are interrelated in layers. Any given generation can be traced back to its cycle, its group, and its great cycle. This cycle lasts 360 years, corresponding to the sixth twenty-two thousand and eighty-first year to the sixth twenty-two thousand and six hundred and fourtieth year of a great cycle.

The 175th cycle, with the heavenly stem Wu, is the 25th cycle of the Si (Snake) group. The twelve generations under this cycle span from the 2089th to the 2100th: the Zi generation is the 2089th, the Chou generation is full in the 2090th, and the subsequent generations from Yin to Xu follow in order, with the Hai generation completing in the 2100th. This cycle lasts 360 years, corresponding to the 62,641st to 63,000th year of the Great Cycle. By this point, the Si group has already passed 9,000 years, leaving only 1,800 years remaining.

The 176th cycle, with the heavenly stem Ji, corresponds to the second十六th cycle of the巳 group. The twelve generations under this cycle span from the 2101st to the 2112th generations: the nine generations from Zi to Shen follow in order from the 2101st to the 2109th, the You generation completes the 2110th, and the Xu and Hai generations correspond to the 2111th and 2112th respectively. This cycle lasts 360 years, corresponding to the 63,001st to the 63,360th year of the first great cycle.

星庚一百七十七：辰子二千一百十三，辰丑二千一百十四，辰寅二千一百十五，辰卯二千一百十六，辰辰二千一百十七，辰巳二千一百十八，辰午二千一百十九，辰未二千一百二十，辰申二千一百二十一，辰酉二千一百二十二，辰戌二千一百二十三，辰亥二千一百二十四。

The 177th cycle, with the heavenly stem Geng, is the 27th cycle of the Si (Snake) convergence. The twelve generations span from the 2113th to the 2124th, starting with Zi and ending with Hai, numbered continuously. The last generation exactly reaches the 2120th. The Si convergence has thirty cycles, with three remaining, and will complete 10,800 years to enter the Wu (Dragon) convergence. In terms of years, this convergence has already passed 9,720 years, leaving only 1,080 years. This cycle lasts 360 years, corresponding to the 63,3601st to the 63,720th year of one great cycle.

星辛一百七十八：辰子二千一百二十五，辰丑二千一百二十六，辰寅二千一百二十七，辰卯二千一百二十八，辰辰二千一百二十九，辰巳二千一百三十，辰午二千一百三十一，辰未二千一百三十二，辰申二千一百三十三，辰酉二千一百三十四，辰戌二千一百三十五，辰亥二千一百三十六。

The 178th cycle, with the heavenly stem paired with Xin, is the 28th cycle of the Si (Snake) convergence. It encompasses twelve generations, from the 2225th generation (Zi) to the 2236th generation (Hai). The Si generation exactly reaches 2130. Calculating from the beginning, 4320 generations have passed the 2236th generation, nearly half of a cycle. The remaining part of the Si convergence consists of only two cycles, 720 years. Shao Yong divided each convergence into thirty cycles, so towards the end of each convergence, although the numbering continues sequentially, it has already approached the convergence. This cycle lasts 360 years, corresponding to the 63,721st to 64,080th year of a cycle.

星壬一百七十九：辰子二千一百三十七，辰丑二千一百三十八，辰寅二千一百三十九，辰卯二千一百四十，辰辰二千一百四十一，辰巳二千一百四十二，辰午二千一百四十三，辰未二千一百四十四，辰申二千一百四十五，辰酉二千一百四十六，辰戌二千一百四十七，辰亥二千一百四十八。

The 179th cycle, with the heavenly stem paired with Ren, is the 29th cycle of the巳 (Si) group. The twelve generations span from the 2137th to the 2148th, starting with Zi and ending with Hai, with the卯 (Mao) generation exactly at the 2140th. Once this cycle is completed, the巳 group has only one cycle left. The entire cycle of the group, which is 10,800 years, has already passed 10,440 years. The last four generations of the next cycle will directly follow the time of the Tang Yao and Yu Shun dynasties. Shao Yong's chronology can only be tied to imperial era names from there. This cycle lasts 360 years, corresponding to the 64,081st to the 64,440th year of the first cycle.

星癸一百八十：辰子二千一百四十九，辰丑二千一百五十，辰寅二千一百五十一，辰卯二千一百五十二，辰辰二千一百五十三，辰巳二千一百五十四，辰午二千一百五十五，辰未二千一百五十六，辰申二千一百五十七、唐堯二十一，辰酉二千一百五十八、唐堯五十一，辰戌二千一百五十九、虞舜九，辰亥二千一百六十、虞舜三十九。

The 180th cycle, with the heavenly stem癸 (Gui), is the final cycle of the thirty cycles of巳 (Si). It encompasses twelve generations, from the 2,149th to the 2,160th. The亥 (Hai) generation is exactly at the 2,160th, which marks the total accumulation of 360 years for each of the six cycles; thus, the cycle of巳 (Si) comes to an end, and one cycle of ten thousand eight hundred years has been completed, exactly half of a full cycle. Most notable in this section is the beginning of the record of imperial reign years in the latter four generations: the申 (Shen) generation at the 2,157th notes "the twenty-first year of Tang Yao," the酉 (You) generation at the 2,158th notes "the fifty-first year of Tang Yao," the戌 (Xu) generation at the 2,159th notes "the ninth year of Yu Shun," and the亥 (Hai) generation at the 2,160th notes "the thirty-ninth year of Yu Shun." These notes indicate the number of years the emperor was in power at the beginning of each generation. From this point on, Shao Yong's calculations align with the official historical records of imperial lineage in China. This cycle spans 360 years, corresponding to the period from the 64,441st to the 64,800th year of one cycle.

日甲一，月午七。

"The term 'day Jia one' still refers to the first initial as the first element, with the heavenly stem paired as Jia; 'month Wu seven' refers to the recorded cycle being the seventh of the twelve cycles in the first era, with the earthly branch belonging to Wu. The Wu cycle encompasses thirty ages from the 181st to the 210th, and thirty-six hundred generations from the 2161st to the 2520th, totaling one hundred and eight thousand years, spanning from the 6,480,1st to the 7,560,0th year of the first era. The documented imperial lineage of China, starting from the Xia Yu at the beginning of this cycle, is progressively recorded in the table, differing clearly from the previous six cycles which had only numbers without events."

星甲一百八十一：辰子二千一百六十一、夏禹八，辰丑二千一百六十二、夏太康二，辰寅二千一百六十三、夏仲康二，辰卯二千一百六十四、夏王相二十，辰辰二千一百六十五、夏少康二十三，辰巳二千一百六十六、夏少康五十三，辰午二千一百六十七、夏王槐四，辰未二千一百六十八、夏芒八，辰申二千一百六十九、夏不降四，辰酉二千一百七十、夏不降三十四，辰戌二千一百七十一、夏扄五，辰亥二千一百七十二、夏廑十四。

The 181st cycle, with the heavenly stem Jia, is the first cycle of the thirty-cycle period of the午 (Wu) branch. It encompasses twelve generations, from the 2161st to the 2172nd. Below each generation is noted the emperor who reigned in the first year of that generation and the number of years he reigned: the Zi generation was the eighth year of Xia Yu, the Chou generation was the second year of Xia Tai Kang, the Yin generation was the second year of Xia Zhong Kang, the Mao generation was the twentieth year of Xia Wang Xiang, the Chen generation was the twenty-third year of Xia Shao Kang, the Si generation was the fifty-third year of Xia Shao Kang, the Wu generation was the fourth year of Xia Wang Hui, the Wei generation was the eighth year of Xia Mang, the Shen generation was the fourth year of Xia Bu Jiang, the You generation was the thirty-fourth year of Xia Bu Jiang, the Xu generation was the fifth year of Xia Jing — "Jing" is Xia Emperor Jing, and the Hai generation was the fourteenth year of Xia Jin. Each generation spans thirty years, so those who reigned over thirty years are noted for two generations, such as Shao Kang and Bu Jiang. This cycle totals three hundred and sixty years, corresponding to the years 64,801 to 65,160 of the Great Cycle, which coincides with the period of Xia Dynasty from Yu to Jin.

星乙一百八十二：辰子二千一百七十三、夏孔甲二十三，辰丑二千一百七十四、夏發十一，辰寅二千一百七十五、夏癸二十二，辰卯二千一百七十六、夏癸五十二，辰辰二千一百七十七、商太甲十七，辰巳二千一百七十八、商沃丁十四，辰午二千一百七十九、商太庚十五，辰未二千一百八十、商雍巳三，辰申二千一百八十一、商太戊二十一，辰酉二千一百八十二、商太戊五十一，辰戌二千一百八十三、商仲丁六，辰亥二千一百八十四、商亶甲八。

The 182nd cycle, with the heavenly stem paired with Yi, corresponds to the second cycle of the午 (Wu) phase. It encompasses twelve generations, spanning from the 2173rd to the 2184th. The first generation, Zi, corresponds to the 23rd year of King Kongjia of Xia. The second generation, Chou, corresponds to the 11th year of King Fa of Xia. The third and fourth generations, Yin and Mao, both correspond to the 22nd and 52nd years of King Jia of Xia. From the fifth generation, Chen onwards, it shifts to the Shang dynasty, corresponding to the 17th year of King Taijia of Shang. The sixth generation, Si, corresponds to the 14th year of King Wudi of Shang. The seventh generation, Wu, corresponds to the 15th year of King Taogeng of Shang. The eighth generation, Wei, corresponds to the 3rd year of King Yongsi of Shang. The ninth and tenth generations, Shen and You, both correspond to the 21st and 51st years of King Taowu of Shang. The eleventh generation, Xu, corresponds to the 6th year of King Zhongdi of Shang. The twelfth generation, Hai, corresponds to the 8th year of King Danjia of Shang. Whenever a ruler's name appears in two generations, it is because their reign spanned across two generations, and the years noted in the two instances will always differ by thirty. For example, the 22nd and 52nd years of King Jia of Xia, and the 21st and 51st years of King Taowu of Shang. The transition from Xia to Shang occurred precisely within this cycle. This cycle spans 360 years, corresponding to the 65,161st to the 65,550th year of the Great Cycle.

星丙一百八十三：辰子二千一百八十五、商祖辛八十，辰丑二千一百八十六、商沃甲二十四，辰寅二千一百八十七、商祖丁二十九，辰卯二千一百八十八、商陽甲二，辰辰二千一百八十九、商盤庚二十五，辰巳二千一百九十、商小乙六，辰午二千一百九十一、商武丁八，辰未二千一百九十二、商武丁二十八，辰申二千一百九十三、商祖甲二，辰酉二千一百九十四、商祖甲三十二，辰戌二千一百九十五、商武乙二，辰亥二千一百九十六、商帝乙二十五。

The 183rd cycle, with the heavenly stem Jia, corresponds to the third cycle of the午 (Wu) group. It encompasses twelve generations, from the 2185th to the 2196th, all falling within the Shang dynasty. The first generation is noted as the 80th year of King Xin of Shang (the text states this, but the number does not match the known reign years of King Xin, suggesting a possible error or omission). The second generation is the 24th year of King Wu Ji of Shang, the third generation is the 29th year of King Zhu Di of Shang, the fourth generation is the 2nd year of King Yang Jia of Shang, the fifth generation is the 25th year of King Pan Geng of Shang, the sixth generation is the 6th year of King Xiao Yi of Shang. The seventh and eighth generations are both noted as the 8th and 28th years of King Wu Ding of Shang. The ninth and tenth generations are both noted as the 2nd and 32nd years of King Zhu Jia of Shang. The eleventh generation is the 2nd year of King Wu Yi of Shang, and the twelfth generation is the 25th year of King Di Yi of Shang. In this cycle, King Wu Ding and King Zhu Jia each account for two generations, while the other eight kings each account for one generation, totaling exactly twelve. This cycle spans 360 years, corresponding to the 65,521st to the 65,880th year of the great cycle.

星丁一百八十四：辰子二千一百九十七、商受辛十八，辰丑二千一百九十八、周成王九，辰寅二千一百九十九、周康王二，辰卯二千二百、周昭王六，辰辰二千二百一、周昭王三十六，辰巳二千二百二、周穆王十五，辰午二千二百三、周穆王四十五，辰未二千二百四、周懿王八，辰申二千二百五、周考王十三，辰酉二千二百六、周厲王十二，辰戌二千二百七、周厲王四十二，辰亥二千二百八、周宣王二十一。

The 184th cycle, with the heavenly stem paired with Ding, corresponds to the fourth movement of the午 (Wu) cycle. It encompasses twelve generations, from the 2197th to the 2208th, which coincides with the end of the Shang dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou dynasty. The first generation notes the 18th year of King Zhou Xun (Shang King Di Xin), the second generation begins the Zhou dynasty, corresponding to the 9th year of King Cheng of Zhou, the third generation is the 2nd year of King Kang of Zhou, the fourth and fifth generations are both noted as the 6th and 36th years of King Zhao of Zhou, the sixth and seventh generations are both noted as the 15th and 45th years of King Mu of Zhou, the eighth generation is the 8th year of King Yi of Zhou, the ninth generation notes the 13th year of King Xiao of Zhou (King Xiao lived at the end of the Warring States period, which does not fit with this sequence, so it is likely a mistake for King Xiao's reign, which should be King Xiao of Zhou), the tenth and eleventh generations are both noted as the 12th and 42nd years of King Li of Zhou, and the twelfth generation is the 21st year of King Xuan of Zhou. Among these, the fourth generation exactly reaches the 2200th generation. This cycle lasts 360 years, corresponding to the 65,881st to the 66,240th year of the first cycle.

星戊一百八十五：辰子二千二百九、周幽王五，辰丑二千二百十、周平王二十四，辰寅二千二百十一、周桓王二，辰卯二千二百十二、周莊王十，辰辰二千二百十三、周惠王二十，辰巳二千二百十四、周襄王二十五，辰午二千二百十五、周定王十，辰未二千二百十六、周靈王五，辰申二千二百十七、周景王八，辰酉二千二百十八、周敬王十三，辰戌二千二百十九、周敬王四十三，辰亥二千二百二十、周貞王二十三。

The 185th cycle, with the heavenly stem paired with Wu, corresponds to the fifth cycle of the午 (Wu) group. It encompasses twelve generations, spanning from the 2,209th to the 2,220th. Within this cycle, the period covers the end of the Western Zhou dynasty and the entire Spring and Autumn period. The first generation is marked by the fifth year of King You of Zhou, the second by the 24th year of King Ping of Zhou—when King Ping moved the capital eastward, marking the beginning of the Spring and Autumn period; the third generation is the second year of King Huan of Zhou, the fourth the tenth year of King Zhuang of Zhou, the fifth the twentieth year of King Hui of Zhou, the sixth the twenty-fifth year of King Xiang of Zhou, the seventh the tenth year of King Ding of Zhou, the eighth the fifth year of King Ling of Zhou, the ninth the eighth year of King Jing of Zhou, and the tenth and eleventh generations both correspond to the thirteenth and forty-third years of King Jing of Zhou. The twelfth generation is marked by the twenty-third year of King Zhen of Zhou. Among these twelve generations, King Jing of Zhou appears twice, while the others each correspond to a single ruler. This clearly shows the number of changes in the royal throne during the more than two hundred years of the Spring and Autumn period. This cycle lasts 360 years, corresponding to the 66,241st to the 66,600th year of a great cycle.

星己一百八十六：辰子二千二百二十一、周威烈九，辰丑二千二百二十二、周安王十五，辰寅二千二百二十三、周顯王十六，辰卯二千二百二十四、周顯王十七，辰辰二千二百二十五、周赧王十八，辰巳二千二百二十六、周赧王四十八，辰午二千二百二十七、秦始皇十，辰未二千二百二十八、漢高祖元，辰申二千二百二十九、漢文帝四，辰酉二千二百三十、漢景帝十，辰戌二千二百三十一、漢武帝二十四，辰亥二千二百三十二、漢武帝五十四。

The 186th cycle, with the heavenly stem JI, corresponds to the sixth cycle of the午 (Wu) group. It covers twelve generations, from the 2221st to the 2232nd, spanning the Warring States, Qin, and Western Han dynasties. The first generation is noted to the ninth year of King Wei of Zhou, the second to the fifteenth year of King An of Zhou, the third to the sixteenth year of King Xian of Zhou, and the fourth also to the seventeenth year of King Xian of Zhou—these two generations are actually thirty years apart, suggesting a possible error in the original text. The fifth and sixth generations are both noted to the eighteenth and forty-eighth years of King Nian of Zhou. The seventh generation is noted to the tenth year of the Qin Shi Huang, the eighth to the first year of Emperor Gaozu of Han, the ninth to the fourth year of Emperor Wen of Han, the tenth to the tenth year of Emperor Jing of Han, and the eleventh and twelfth generations both noted to the twenty-fourth and fifty-fourth years of Emperor Wu of Han. Kings Xian, Nian, and Wu of Zhou and Han each occupy two generations, while the other six kings each occupy one generation. This cycle spans the decline of Zhou, the rise of Qin, and the flourishing of Han, covering three successive dynasties. The duration of this cycle is 360 years, corresponding to the sixth-six-thousand-six-hundred-first to the sixth-six-thousand-nine-hundred-sixtieth year of the great cycle.

星庚一百八十七：辰子二千二百三十三、漢宣帝十七，辰丑二千二百三十四、漢成帝六，辰寅二千二百三十五、漢平帝四，辰卯二千二百三十六、漢光武十一，辰辰二千二百三十七、漢明帝七，辰巳二千二百三十八、漢和帝六，辰午二千二百三十九、漢安帝十八，辰未二千二百四十、漢桓帝八，辰申二千二百四十一、漢靈帝十七，辰酉二千二百四十二、漢獻帝二十五，辰戌二千二百四十三、魏帝芳五、蜀帝禪三十二、吳帝權二十二，辰亥二千二百四十四、晉武帝十、吳帝皓十二。

The 187th cycle, with the heavenly stem paired with Geng, corresponds to the seventh cycle of the午 (Wu) branch. It encompasses twelve generations, spanning from the 2,233rd to the 2,244th, covering the middle period of the Western Han Dynasty through the Eastern Han Dynasty, then into the Three Kingdoms and the Western Jin Dynasty. The sub-periods are noted as follows: the Zi generation corresponds to the 17th year of Emperor Xuandi of Han, the Chou generation to the 6th year of Emperor Chengdi of Han, the Yin generation to the 4th year of Emperor Pingdi of Han, the Mao generation to the 11th year of Emperor Guangwu of Han, the Chen generation to the 7th year of Emperor Mingdi of Han, the Si generation to the 6th year of Emperor Hedi of Han, the Wu generation to the 18th year of Emperor An Di of Han, the Wei generation to the 8th year of Emperor Huan Di of Han, the Shen generation to the 17th year of Emperor Ling Di of Han, and the You generation to the 25th year of Emperor Xian Di of Han. From the Xu generation onwards, the world became divided, so one generation notes the rulers of the three states in parallel: the 5th year of Emperor Fang of Wei, the 32nd year of Emperor Chen of Shu, and the 22nd year of Emperor Quan of Wu. The Hai generation notes the 10th year of Emperor Wu of Jin and the 12th year of Emperor Hao of Wu, showing that Jin had already replaced Wei while Wu had not yet been conquered. This section of the cycle represents the shift of legitimacy from Han to Wei, Shu, and Wu in parallel, and then back to Jin, so the annotations change from one ruler to three rulers and then to two, adjusting according to the situation. This is the most variable part of the entire table's structure. This cycle lasts 360 years, corresponding to the 66,961st to the 67,320th year of the Great Cycle.

星辛一百八十八：辰子二千二百四十五、晉惠帝十四，辰丑二千二百四十六、晉成帝九，辰寅二千二百四十七、晉哀帝三，辰卯二千二百四十八、晉武帝二十二、後魏道武一，辰辰二千二百四十九、宋帝義隆元、後魏太武元，辰巳二千二百五十、宋武帝二、後魏文成三，辰午二千二百五十一、齊武帝二、後魏孝文十四，辰未二千二百五十二、梁武帝十三、後魏宣武十五，辰申二千二百五十三、梁武帝四十三、西魏文帝十一，辰酉二千二百五十四、陳宣帝七、後周武帝十五，辰戌二千二百五十五、隋煬帝元，辰亥二千二百五十六、唐太宗九。

The 188th cycle, with the heavenly stem paired with Xin, corresponds to the eighth cycle of the午 (Wu) group. It encompasses twelve generations, from the 2245th to the 2256th, spanning the Eastern and Western Jin dynasties, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and into the early Tang dynasty. The first generation notes the 14th year of Emperor Hui of the Jin dynasty. The second generation notes the 9th year of Emperor Cheng of the Jin dynasty. The third generation notes the 3rd year of Emperor Ai of the Jin dynasty. The fourth generation notes the 22nd year of Emperor Wu of the Jin dynasty (which should be Emperor Xiaowu of the Jin dynasty according to the sequence) and the first year of Emperor Daowu of the Northern Wei dynasty. From the fourth generation onwards, both Southern and Northern dynasties coexisted, so each generation notes the years of two emperors: the fifth generation notes the first year of Emperor Yilong of the Southern Song dynasty and the first year of Emperor Taowu of the Northern Wei dynasty—Emperor Yilong is Emperor Wen of the Southern Song dynasty; the sixth generation notes the second year of Emperor Wudi of the Southern Song dynasty and the third year of Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei dynasty; the seventh generation notes the second year of Emperor Wudi of the Southern Qi dynasty and the fourteenth year of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei dynasty; the eighth generation notes the thirteenth year of Emperor Wudi of the Southern Liang dynasty and the fifteenth year of Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei dynasty; the ninth generation notes the forty-third year of Emperor Wudi of the Southern Liang dynasty and the eleventh year of Emperor Wen of the Western Wei dynasty; the tenth generation notes the seventh year of Emperor Xuan of the Southern Chen dynasty and the fifteenth year of Emperor Wudi of the Northern Zhou dynasty. By the eleventh generation, the empire reunified, so only the first year of Emperor Yang of the Sui dynasty is noted. The twelfth generation notes the ninth year of Emperor Taizong of the Tang dynasty. This cycle spans 360 years, corresponding to the 67,321st to the 67,680th year of the great cycle.

星壬一百八十九：辰子二千二百五十七、唐高宗十五，辰丑二千二百五十八、唐中宗十一，辰寅二千二百五十九、唐玄宗十三，辰卯二千二百六十、唐玄宗四十三，辰辰二千二百六十一、唐德宗五，辰巳二千二百六十二、唐憲宗九，辰午二千二百六十三、唐武宗四，辰未二千二百六十四、唐僖宗元，辰申二千二百六十五、唐昭宗十六，辰酉二千二百六十六，辰戌二千二百六十七、宋太祖五，辰亥二千二百六十八、宋太宗十九。

The 189th cycle, with the heavenly stem paired with Ren, corresponds to the ninth cycle of the午 (Wu) group. It encompasses twelve generations, from the 2257th to the 2268th. This period spans the flourishing Tang Dynasty, the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and enters the Song Dynasty.

The tenth generation, corresponding to the 2266th, does not have a specific reign year noted, as this time was during the transition between the Five Dynasties, when there was no established legitimate dynasty, hence it is omitted; the eleventh generation is marked by the fifth year of Emperor Taizu of Song, and the twelfth by the nineteenth year of Emperor Taizong of Song. The Tang emperors from Gaozong to Zhaozong are noted across nine generations; the Song Dynasty begins with Taizu, connecting to the next cycle's Emperor Renzong. This cycle lasts 360 years, corresponding to the 67,681st to the 68,040th year of the great cycle.

The subsequent ten generations,寅 (Yin) through亥 (Hai), have no annotations. Shao Yong lived during the reigns of Emperor Renzong, Emperor Yingzong, and Emperor Shen zong. The second thousand two hundred and seventy year of the丑 (Chou) generation corresponds to the period around his birth. The chronology up to this point has entered the contemporary era, and the following periods belong to the future, for which there is no historical record. Therefore, only the numbers are recorded without events. All the blank lines below this table are due to this reason, not omissions. This cycle spans 360 years, corresponding to the 68,401st to the 68,400th year of the great cycle.
