What it means

Taiji Nobleman (太极贵人) takes its meaning from the rise, peak and conclusion of the Five Elements—as Wood (Jia/Yi) is born at Zi and ends at Wu, or Fire (Bing/Ding) emerges at Zhen and is stored at Dui. It symbolizes all things having a beginning and an end, with creation safeguarded from start to finish, marking one who grasps how Heaven and Earth bring things into being. When the chart forms a proper pattern and meets supporting noble stars, it becomes a mark of honor.
