The ten stems of the Calendar are derived from the 5 elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) in their ''Yin'' (<font size=3>阴</font>) and ''Yang'' (<font size=3>阳</font>)formats. Every year that ends in an even number is a ''yang'' year and odd-numbered years are thus ''yin'' years. The 60-year cycle always begins with "Yang Wood Rat" and ends with "Yin Water Boar". 2008 would thus be seen as "Yang Earth Rat" (''yang bo ne'' 阳戊子 ) and the author was born in "Yin Water Boar", a very auspicious year, as it signified the end of a 60-year cycle. In addition, as there are an even number of zodiac animals, each can only occur with ''yin'' or ''yang'', thus the Year of the Rat would always be a ''yang'' year.
