Nayin Compatibility
Compare the declared Nayin pillar labels without replacing natal Five-Element analysis, disclose the scoring rule, and avoid deterministic match or outcome claims.
Overview
Nayin compatibility (納音合婚, Nà Yīn Hé Hūn) compares the traditional Nayin classifications attached to sexagenary pillar pairs. A method must state whether it uses the Year Pillar, Day Pillar, all four pillars, or another table, and how it treats generating, controlling, same-phase, and named Nayin pairings. Nayin is a secondary classification and does not replace the actual Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, hidden stems, Month Command, structure, or useful functions of either natal chart. No universal evidence-based weighting converts Nayin labels into a reliable compatibility percentage, and the method cannot prove character, attraction, marriage, health, wealth, or duration.
At a glance
- Data source
- Nayin label of one or more sexagenary pillars
- Method choice
- Year, Day, four pillars, or another declared table
- Separate layer
- Not the natal chart’s ordinary Five-Element balance
- Required baseline
- Stems, branches, Month Command, structure, useful function
- Scoring limit
- No universal validated compatibility weighting
- Cannot prove
- Character, attraction, marriage, health, wealth, duration
Specify which pillars supply the Nayin labels
Calculate both natal charts first, then record the sexagenary name and Nayin label for every pillar the method actually uses. Do not silently switch between Year-Pillar and Day-Pillar matching.
Keep calendar, time-zone, and birth-time uncertainty visible because a changed pillar can change its Nayin classification. Missing input must reduce scope rather than invite guessing.
- Publish the compared pillars and labels.
- Preserve input and calculation uncertainty.
Publish the comparison and weighting rule
State how same-phase, generating, controlling, or named Nayin pairs are interpreted and whether pillar position changes their weight. Cite the traditional table being used.
Do not present an arbitrary point system as statistical validation. If several Nayin rules disagree, show the disagreement rather than selecting the most favorable one.
- Make every score component traceable.
- Label conventional weights as editorial, not scientific.
Keep Nayin secondary to the complete natal charts
Compare the actual stems, branches, hidden stems, Month Commands, Day Masters, structures, spouse palaces, and useful functions independently. A Nayin element is not a substitute for natal elemental function.
When Nayin and primary layers disagree, retain both findings and reduce confidence. Do not let a favorable label erase contradictory chart or real-world evidence.
- Separate Nayin from ordinary Five-Element analysis.
- Preserve contradictions across methods.
Do not use Nayin as a marriage approval system
Nayin cannot prove a destined partner, personality fit, attraction, fertility, health benefit, wealth, marriage, fidelity, or permanence. An unfavorable pairing is not a reason to reject a person.
Use communication, consent, conduct, plans, and qualified evidence for decisions. Present Nayin as one historical classification method with clearly stated limits.
- Avoid auspicious-versus-taboo matchmaking verdicts.
- Do not replace human evidence with a label.
