The Heavenly Stem Jia appears once on the day, and the Earthly Branch Yin appears three times on the month.
開物始月寅之中。經星之己七十六、經星之庚七十七、經星之辛七十八、經星之壬七十九、經星之癸八十、經星之甲八十一、經星之乙八十二、經星之丙八十三、經星之丁八十四、經星之戊八十五、經星之己八十六、經星之庚八十七、經星之辛八十八、經星之壬八十九、經星之癸九十。
From this point on, the method used is "using the convergence of the great cycles": the beginning of the text "the first day of the first cycle, Jia" refers to the first cycle, Jia, and "the third month of the third convergence, Yin" refers to the third convergence, Yin. The following "star cycles" listed are the cycles under this convergence. The Yin convergence originally covers the sixty-first to the ninety-first cycles, but the table starts from the seventy-sixth cycle, because "the creation of things begins in the middle of the Yin convergence" — Shao Yong believed that the generation of heaven and earth began in the middle of the Yin convergence, and the first half was still in chaos, so it is not included in the calendar. The listed cycles from seventy-sixth onwards total fifteen cycles. The heavenly stems start from Ji, then proceed to Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui, and then return to Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, and again go through Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui in a full cycle. Each cycle spans twelve generations, each lasting three hundred and sixty years. The first cycle, the seventy-sixth, spans from the second thousand seven hundred and first year to the second thousand seven hundred and thirty-sixth year of the first cycle. The last cycle, the ninety-first, spans from the third thousand two hundred and forty-first year to the third thousand two hundred and fourth year. The fifteen cycles together span five thousand four hundred years.
The Heavenly Stem Jia appears once on the day, and the Earthly Branch Mao appears four times on the month.

"The 'Mo' fourth phase of the 'Jingyue' refers to the fourth phase of the 'Mo' in the cycle of the Jia stem. This phase encompasses the 91st to the 120th cycles. This table lists the cycles in order starting from the 91st. Here only the names of the cycles are marked, without further division into twelve generations, because the 'Huijingyun' system is specifically designed for recording events. Each cycle leaves a space for filling in the rise and fall of generations. The listed cycles from Jia 91 to Wu 105 cover fifteen cycles. The Heavenly Stems complete one full cycle in half a cycle, which is 360 years per cycle, making fifteen cycles total 5,400 years. This period corresponds to the 32,401st to the 37,800th year of the first cycle."
經星之己一百六、經星之庚一百七、經星之辛一百八、經星之壬一百九、經星之癸一百十、經星之甲一百十一、經星之乙一百十二、經星之丙一百十三、經星之丁一百十四、經星之戊一百十五、經星之己一百十六、經星之庚一百十七、經星之辛一百十八、經星之壬一百十九、經星之癸一百二十。
Continuing from the 106th cycle "Ji", to the 120th cycle "Gui", these fifteen cycles form the latter half of the Mao cycle. The original text omits the character "zero" in entries such as "one hundred and six", "one hundred and seven", and so on, and from "one hundred and ten" onwards, it simply writes "ten" instead of "one ten". Although the writing style varies, the sequence remains clear. These fifteen cycles total 5,400 years, corresponding to the third 37,801 to the fourth 43,200 years of a great cycle. The first cycle, the 106th, spans from the third 37,801 to the third 38,160 years. The final cycle, the 120th, spans from the fourth 42,841 to the fourth 43,200 years. By the end of the 120th cycle, the entire 10,080 years of the Mao cycle are completed.
The Heavenly Stem Jia occurs once on the day, and the Earthly Branch Wu appears five times in the month.

"The fifth meeting of the month in the cycle of the five moons" refers to the fifth meeting of the Chen (Earthly Branch) in the Jia (Heavenly Stem) cycle, encompassing the 121st to 150th cycles. This section first lists the 15 cycles following Jia 121, with the heavenly stems continuing in the order of Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui, repeating cyclically. The Chen meeting begins in the fourth year 43,201 of the first cycle, with the 121st cycle spanning from year 43,201 to 43,560, and the 135th cycle from year 48,241 to 48,600. These 15 cycles span a total of 5,400 years, ending in year 48,600. Later scholars who followed the tradition of Zhao (Shao) associated the twelve message hexagrams with the twelve meetings. The Chen meeting corresponds to the hexagram "Gua," which signifies the time when yang is nearly at its peak.

From the 136th cycle "Ji" to the 150th cycle "Gui", these fifteen cycles constitute the latter half of the Chen hội. In this table, each section only records "the number of the celestial star", without any explanatory words, leaving it to be interpreted according to the events of each cycle: Shao Yong's "Huang Ji Jing Shi" was originally intended to use this structure to arrange the rise and fall of governance from the time of the Xia and Yao dynasties. These fifteen cycles span a total of five thousand four hundred years, corresponding to the fourth eighty-six hundred and first year to the fifth four thousand years of a great cycle; among them, the 136th cycle covers the fourth eighty-six hundred and first year to the fourth eighty-nine hundred and sixtieth year, and the 150th cycle covers the fifth three thousand six hundred and forty-first year to the fifth four thousand year. The Chen hội is thus completed here.
The stem Jia occurs once on the day, and the branch Si occurs six times in the month.

"The '巳' hexad of the month is the sixth hexad of Jia's cycle, governing the 151st to the 180th cycles. This section first lists the twelve cycles following Jia 151, ending at Yi 162. The '巳' hexad begins in the fifth year forty-one of the first cycle, with the 151st cycle spanning from the fifth year forty-one to the fifth year four thousand and thirty, and the 162nd cycle from the fifth year seven thousand nine hundred and sixty-one to the fifth year eight thousand three hundred and twenty. These twelve cycles total four thousand three hundred and twenty years. Among the twelve hexads, the '巳' hexad has the strongest yang energy. After this, when the '午' hexad begins, the heavenly way begins to shift from growth to decline."

Starting from the 163rd cycle "Bing" and counting sequentially to the 174th cycle "Ding", there are another twelve cycles, spanning four thousand three hundred twenty years, covering the fifth cycle of one era from five thousand eight hundred thirty-one to six thousand two hundred sixty years: the 163rd cycle governs from five thousand eight hundred thirty-one to five thousand eight hundred sixty-eight years, and the 174th cycle governs from six thousand two hundred twenty-eight to six thousand two hundred sixty years. So far, thirty cycles have been completed, and twenty-four cycles have already passed, leaving six cycles and two thousand one hundred sixty years before the next cycle, "Wu", begins.
