Two Branches Framing a Seasonal Panel

Gong Hui (Arch Meeting) uses two branches of a San Hui panel to frame the missing middle. Common sets: Hai-Chou arch Zi (Water), Yin-Chen arch Mao (Wood), Si-Wei arch Wu (Fire), Shen-Xu arch You (Metal). It indicates contextual pull rather than full panel formation.
