The Saju view
Because Cadence begins with K or hard G, the system counts its first sound as wood, and the first sound weighs double. In Saju, Cadence carries wood. That makes it a natural choice for charts where wood is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, wood gives rise to fire, so Cadence earns some credit for charts missing fire. If wood is already strong in a chart, Cadence ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
