Year Breaker (岁破)

Year Breaker is an encyclopedia term in Chinese calendar and date selection. It names a specific layer of the system; read it by checking calendar layer, stem-branch timing, day officer, clash/combination, event type, and real schedule constraints, then compare it with Tai Sui, Six Clashes, Stems and Branches, Chinese Almanac so the entry explains what the term means before it becomes advice.

Year Breaker belongs to the vocabulary of Chinese calendar and date selection. A source-aware note should first define the system layer, then show which evidence is checked (calendar layer, stem-branch timing, day officer, clash/combination, event type, and real schedule constraints) and only after that describe practical use or cautions.

To understand Year Breaker, identify its system layer and compare Tai Sui, Six Clashes, Stems and Branches, Chinese Almanac. The practical question is not whether the word appears, but what calendar layer, stem-branch timing, day officer, clash/combination, event type, and real schedule constraints says in this case and how much weight that evidence deserves.

These references support the historical or structural background used to explain Year Breaker in Chinese calendar and date selection. They are context anchors, not a substitute for checking the term within its own layer.
