Each listed year runs from its boundary to the next one, and it depends on the convention. Early dates in the calendar year can belong to the year before.
About this year
丁卯 carries yin fire on the wood of 卯, the Rabbit, and wood feeds fire. Its years include 1927 and 1987.
The furnace in its 納音 is bigger than any kitchen stove. The handbook's phrase makes heaven and earth the furnace, with yin and yang tending it. Fire in the Furnace also happens to be the stem's element this time, a coincidence of position that the name shares with 丙寅.
Where this text comes from
The 納音 name follows the Wikisource text of 三命通會, volume 1, the only witness we found for the full set of names. The polarity of the stems and branches and the generating and overcoming cycles follow 五行大義 volume 2.
