Six Break pairs
Six Break—also translated as Six Destruction—is a distinct six-pair relation. It matters especially because some of its pairs simultaneously belong to Six Harmony or Punishment sets.

How the inherited set is built
The relation that makes overlap visible
The six pairs are Rat–Rooster, Horse–Rabbit, Monkey–Snake, Tiger–Pig, Dragon–Ox and Dog–Goat. The same list applies no matter which animal is selected first.
Tiger–Pig and Snake–Monkey demonstrate why a compatibility tool must preserve overlaps: both are Six Harmony and Six Break. Snake–Monkey also sits inside the Punishment of Ingratitude group.
- What it establishes
- It establishes membership in one fixed 六破 pair and makes any simultaneous Harmony, Punishment or other branch relation visible beside it.
- What it does not establish
- It does not cancel a Harmony relation, prove a breakup, or rank one relation as more real than another. Each label describes a different inherited set.

Where Six Breaks enters a chart
Use the pair as one coordinate-level signal and then inspect its pillar layers. When more than one relation applies, retain the full stack before interpreting the chart context.
