The Eight Trigrams belong to the twelve generals' categories of things.

斬關須是有金氣，虎陰申酉分明記，若是青龍逃者逝，無龍爭官多獲釁。三傳俱是日之財，丙丁從革做金栽，求財未逐先見乘，財多害己父母災。三傳俱是日干類，須防兄弟相連累，過房隨娘並義兒，有憂疑慮心下記。三傳俱是日之鬼，庚辛炎上功名遂，否極泰來更改至，大宜從官有祿位。

The "Zhang Guan" divination must include the metal element. The "White Tiger" and "Tai Yin" should be positioned at the hours of Shen and You, and this must be clearly remembered. If the "Azure Dragon" is in charge, a person who has fled will not return. If there is no "Azure Dragon" but there is a dispute involving officials, it is likely to bring about legal troubles. If all three transmissions are the wealth divination elements of the day stem, and on days of Bing or Ding, it forms the "Cong Ge" metal structure, it is like planting metal wealth in the fire position; the wealth has not yet been obtained, but it is already being taken by others, so more wealth brings more harm to oneself, and also causes disaster to the parents. If all three transmissions are the same as the day stem, they are like siblings, and one must be cautious of being involved in disputes among brothers. Matters such as being adopted by another family, following the mother to remarry, or being a foster son are all likely to bring worries and uncertainties, which should be remembered. If all three transmissions are the official ghost elements that overcome the day stem, and on days of Geng or Xin, it forms the "Yan Shang" fire structure, then achievements in official positions are likely to be realized; after hardship comes success, and there is a change in circumstances, which is most suitable for taking up an official post and enjoying salary and rank.

三傳相續吉凶隨，一事未脫一事來，根苗不斷信不誣，舊事新來想不疏。虎視傳中與螣蛇，占病絕食事可嗟，不是喉中命參差，滿口生瘡火上炎。課名獨腳只虛驚，不宜占病問行人，占賊不來驚不寧，任是危除三日清。辰加子上後玄乘，此是占人宅破星，散家破宅人淫奔，夫婦乘離有異心。

The three transmissions start and end consecutively, with good and bad fortune coming one after another. One matter has not yet concluded when another arises; the roots and sprouts are continuous. This statement is indeed true. Old matters have not yet passed, and new ones have already arrived. It is truly not distant. In the "Tiger Watching" lesson, seeing "Teng Snake" again indicates that if one is ill, they will be unable to eat, which is a sad situation. It is not that the throat is ill or the life is unstable, but rather that there will be mouth sores and rising heat. A lesson named "Single Foot" is mostly just a false alarm and is not suitable for divining illness or asking about travelers. When used to divinate thieves, the thieves will not come, but there will be disturbances and unease. Even if there is danger, it will be quiet within three days. When the hour is placed on the Zi position, and it is accompanied by "Heavenly Empress" and "Black Tortoise," this is an omen of a house being broken down: the family will scatter, the house will be ruined, people will have affairs outside, husband and wife will be estranged, and each will have different intentions.

午加申上見虎陰，財散人離事鼎新。庚辛逢鬼在門庭，閃人避債面逢迎。辛日用巳上見蛇，助刑伐德更吁嗟。一人不喜眾人邪，求謀不順被人遮。一云：加庚上見螣蛇，是刑中火克金也。辛德在丙上。酉加丁上見三妻，內外紛紜無定時。求財有應三日期，須知玄妙轉幽微。

The Heavenly Stem Wu is placed on the Earthly Branch Shen, and there is also the presence of the White Tiger and Tai Yin, indicating the dispersal of wealth and the separation of people, with affairs needing to start anew. On days of Geng and Xin, if the official ghost is guarding the door, there will be situations of evading people and avoiding debts, and encountering difficulties face to face. On Xin days, with the transmission starting from Si, and the Teng Snake appearing on Si, it enhances punishment and injury to the daily virtue, which is even more regrettable. If one person is unhappy, others will follow and develop wrong thoughts, making endeavors not smooth and everywhere being obstructed. Another interpretation: Si is placed on Geng, with the Teng Snake, indicating punishment with fire overcoming metal; the Heavenly Virtue of Xin is at the position of Bing. When You is placed on Ding, the image of three wives appears, indicating confusion both inside and outside the family. Seeking wealth has a response, with a period of three days, and the subtleties need to be slowly understood, becoming more intricate as one continues to explore.

行年本命破為禍，合用合動轉相拘。欲為不為百事虛，自身疑惑無定意。初傳巳破便無成，中傳中輟事相凌。事欲成就卻虛陳，末傳見破太的真。戌亥加支為朱雀，宅中斛斗堆垛腳。常龍戌亥更的確，典質豐隆滿架閣。寅未子巳作三傳，毋令卯酉作行年。夫婦分飛起盡間，男女行年被掠傷。

When the year pillar and the native's destiny encounter "Pò" (Break), misfortune arises. Things that should come together and initiate action instead hinder each other; one wants to act but cannot, leading to failure in all endeavors, confusion in the mind, and indecision. If the first transmission already carries "Pò", the matter fails from the beginning. If the middle transmission carries "Pò", the matter halts midway, with mutual conflict; it seems about to succeed, but it turns out to be empty. The final transmission encountering "Pò" is most appropriate. If "Zhu Que" (Vermilion Bird) is on the branches of Xu or Hai, it indicates that grain measures are piled up by the wall. If "Tai Chang" (Tai Chang) and "Qing Long" (Azure Dragon) are on Xu or Hai, it indicates that pledged or pawned items are abundant and fill the shelves. If the three transmissions are made up of Yin, Wei, Zi, or Si, then avoid having Mao or You as the year pillar; the separation of husband and wife begins in this context, with both partners suffering from being invaded or harmed.

功曹作虎在門前，貓兒當門惹禍端。螣蛇驚怪朱雀喧，若克干神被人牽。天狗逆行四行神，破刑發害虎勾侵。加人本命火來驚，加宅左右對門尋。天馬來臨門占宅，他人書信多不測。吉吉凶凶神將推，死氣物類與分劈。墓神死氣帶刑沖，加宅內外不安凶。更兼四廢又來逢，毀拆遷居卻可容。

The term "Gongcao" (Yin) is on "Baihu" (White Tiger), like a tiger guarding the gate or a cat at the door, which is most likely to cause trouble. Additionally, "Tengsnake" brings sudden fears and "Zhuque" brings noise. If these are in conflict with the day stem, the person will be involved. "Tian gou" (Heavenly Dog) movesretrograde through the four directions, causing harm together with destruction and punishment. "Baihu" and "Gouchen" follow to disturb. If they are applied to a person's birth chart, it indicates fire-related troubles; if applied to a house, it affects neighbors and the opposite door. When "Tianma" (Heavenly Horse) appears at the gate of a house, it often indicates unexpected letters arriving from others. Whether it is good or bad depends on the judgment of the divine generals. If it is associated with death qi, it should also be judged by the category of objects. If the tomb god, death qi, and punishment clash are combined on the house, both inside and outside will be unstable. If it coincides with the day of "Sifei" (Four Wastes), then only moving and rebuilding can provide a place to stay.

太歲並馬作貴人，或同天月德加臨。鄰居左右及對門，必是曾迎大貴人。寅年正月潤下日，巳年四月曲直日，申年七月炎上日，亥年十月從革日。白虎乘墓及加支，其宅必定有伏尸。或在鄰舍對門推，主禍頻頻被鬼欺。甲子旬，辛未返吟。甲戌旬，乙亥干上子；甲申旬，乙酉返吟。甲午旬，己未伏吟。甲辰旬，辛亥干上子。甲寅旬，辛酉干上寅。按，白虎二句即“支乘墓虎有伏尸”也。

When both the "Too Old" and "Post-horse" are present and the "Nobleman" is above them, or when they are simultaneously combined with the "Heavenly Virtue" and "Monthly Virtue," it indicates that the neighboring houses and the house opposite must have once welcomed a great nobleman. On the day of the "Moisture" (water group) in the first lunar month of the Year of the Tiger, on the day of the "Flexibility" (wood group) in the fourth lunar month of the Year of the Snake, on the day of the "Ascending Heat" (fire group) in the seventh lunar month of the Year of the Monkey, and on the day of the "Metal Transformation" (metal group) in the tenth lunar month of the Year of the Pig, these all fall under this category. If the "White Tiger" is riding on theTomb Spirit (ancestral tomb deity) and is combined with the branch, then there must be hidden corpses in that house; or if we look for it among the neighbors or the opposite house, it indicates frequent misfortunes and being deceived by ghosts. The specific days are: on the day of Xinwei in the Jiazi decade, it is a return chant; on the day of Yihai when the day stem shows Zi in the Jiaxu decade; on the day of Yiyou in the Jiashen decade, it is a return chant; on the day of Jiwei in the Jiawu decade, it is a hidden chant; on the day of Xinhai when the day stem shows Zi in the Jiachen decade; and on the day of Xinyou when the day stem shows Yin in the Jiayin decade. The commentary says that these two lines about the "White Tiger" mean "the branch riding on the tomb tiger indicates hidden corpses."

天地二醫居宅傍，左右鄰居有藥房。天空狼藉糞堆牆，酒店小吉為龍常。天地二火與月厭，蛇朱狼藉有災變。若更加辰宜須辨，定知一夕火光現。注云：克宅天火之煞，甲首前四，卦內相逢，天燭同意，甲子旬在辰。辰戌丑未為籬院，天空空亡須損陷。更加寅卯不堪為，籬穿壁倒無邊畔。

The deities Tianyi and Diyi reside beside the house, indicating that there are pharmacies nearby on either side. Where Tiankong is present, there is disorder and uncleanliness, often indicating a pile of excrement against the wall. If Xiaoji (Wei) is joined by Qinglong and Tai Chang, there is likely a nearby tavern. When Tianhuo and Dihuo deities appear together with Yueyan, and Tengshe and Zhuque are also present amidst disorder, there will be a fire incident. If this occurs in the branch hour, it is especially important to distinguish, as it can determine that a fire will definitely appear on a certain night. The annotation says: the harmful Tianhuo fire, which harms the house, is found by counting four positions from the beginning of the current ten-day period (Jiazi), and when it meets the hexagram, it is the same as Tianchu. In the Jiazi ten-day period, Tianhuo is in Chen. The four墓 (Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei) represent fences and walls. If Tiankong and Kongwang are present, the fence or wall is definitely damaged or collapsed. If added with Yin and Mao, the fence is torn and the wall is fallen, with no boundaries.

甲子乙亥土神行，籬穿壁倒枉支撐。更逢白虎轉猩獰，男虛女血兒肚膨。天魁月厭並天鬼，上乘蛇虎加宅地。或在卯酉門初位，宅凶難住迷遷徒。天鬼，春酉、夏午、秋卯、冬子。天鼠加支並月厭，蛇虎相乘子又見。老鼠白日驚怪見，虛耗錢財官病占。天鼠，正月在子，逆行十二支。

On Jiazi day and Yihai day, the earth deity is in motion, causing damage to fences and walls, and even white support is ineffective. If "White Tiger" appears again, the situation becomes even more terrifying, indicating male weakness, female blood disorders, and children's abdominal distension. If "Tian Gui" (戌), "Yue Yan," and "Tian Gui" are all present, with "Teng Snake" and "White Tiger" above them, and this combination falls on the property, or if it is located at the initial position of the卯 or酉 gate, the house is dangerous and difficult to stay in, so one has to move away helplessly. The position of "Tian Gui" is: in spring it is in You, in summer in Wu, in autumn in Mao, and in winter in Zi. If "Tian Shu" is present on the branch and coincides with "Yue Yan," with "Teng Snake" and "White Tiger" above it, and if it also falls on Zi position, it indicates that mice come out during the day causing disturbances, leading to financial loss. This is unfavorable for divination regarding illness or official matters. The position of "Tian Shu" is: in the first month it is in Zi, then it moves in reverse order through the twelve branches.

月厭六月來居巳，天鬼其時加午地。加宅鄰里邪鬼魅，童子師孃為禍祟。辰加午上螣蛇誇，更兼六合又相加。床蓆下面有毒蛇，若剋日干命輸它。“輸”，金氏旁改“乞”。劫煞臨命大凶神，亥卯未傳申生人。潤下巳主從革寅，炎上亥生不妄陳。

In June, the "Month Aversion" falls on the Si position, and the "Heavenly Ghost" is added on the Wu position. If this combination is present at the residence, there will be malevolent spirits and ghosts troubling the neighborhood, with young boys and female shamans causing trouble. The Chen position is added on Wu, allowing the "Teng Snake" to gain power and spread, and when combined with "Liu He," it indicates that there are venomous snakes hidden under the bed. If this snake overcomes the day stem, it will endanger one's life. Note: The character "输" was changed by the Jin family to "乞" beside it. The "Jiesha" (劫煞) appearing at one's birth year is a greatInauspicious Spirit. For those born under the wood trinity (Hai, Mao, Wei), the Jiesha is located at Shen; for those born under the water trinity (Shen, Zi, Chen), the Jiesha is at Si; for those born under the metal trinity (Si, You, Chou), the Jiesha is at Yin; and for those born under the fire trinity (Yin, Wu, Xu), the Jiesha is at Hai. These are not random statements.

吉凶期應日逐挨，凶會吉會共推排。今明有酒今朝醉，明日當醒明日來。辰加亥上乙亥日，婦人久病命難存。庚辰日死極端的，十個九個無改易。子加卯上是相刑，天后乘之妻女奢。更須求取天后陰，卯日之下雨霖霖。支破為陰憂中喜，公人有釁對案起。除此不須別指擬，端的如神而已矣。

The timing of good or bad fortune should be calculated day by day. The convergence of bad fortune and the convergence of good fortune should be compared together. If there is wine today and tomorrow, one will get drunk today; tomorrow one should recover, and the matter will come again tomorrow. When the stem Chen is placed on the branch Hai, on the day of Yihai, a woman who has been ill for a long time will have difficulty surviving; on the day of Gengchen, she will die, which is most accurate, with nine out of ten cases not changing. When the stem Zi is placed on the branch Mao, it is a case of Zi and Mao conflicting, and if the Heavenly Empress is involved, it indicates the wife or daughter will be extravagant. Also, one should look at the Yin spirit of the Heavenly Empress; on the day of Mao, there will be continuous rain. If the branch has a broken element and is of Yin nature, there will be sorrow mixed with joy; those handling official matters who have mistakes or disputes may end up in court. Apart from this, there is no need for further speculation; it is as accurate as a god.

甲辰旬中卯酉卯，甲戌旬中亦天耗。三傳空盡無凶撓，二八月中大小耗。權衡配偶龜蛇星，巳來加子降天神。子若加巳蛇龜休，陰陽不備事難成。申加巳上號玄胎，六合內戰子孫災。占事遲疑便未諧，期約兒孫指日來。占產天罡所加時，其時便是子生時。未產將為生日期，遠近推量決不移。

In the Jia Chen ten-day cycle, the positions of卯 and酉,卯 are considered, and in the Jia Xu ten-day cycle, the same position is referred to as "Great Loss." If all three transmissions fall into Kongwang, there will be no danger or disturbance. However, in the second and eighth months, one should consider "Great Loss" and "Minor Loss." When evaluating marriage and spouse, one should look at the stars Yuanwu (Black Tortoise) and Teng Snake (Turtle Snake). If巳 is placed on子, it is considered a heavenly deity descending, which is auspicious. But if子 is placed on巳, the energies of the snake and turtle will be exhausted, yin and yang will not be in harmony, and the matter will be difficult to achieve. If申 is placed on巳, it is called "Xuaitai," with "Liu He" (Six Harmonies) involved in internal conflict, indicating that descendants may suffer misfortune. For matters of decision, it will be hesitant and difficult to resolve in a short time. However, regarding the appointment to meet descendants, it can be expected soon. For predicting childbirth, one should look at the time when Tiangang (Chen) is placed. That time is the time of the child's birth. For those who have not yet given birth, this time can be used to predict the day of childbirth, and the distance can be calculated accordingly, without any change.

何知人家產欲分，天喜為用立當門。青龍元武在逡巡，六合見子慶佳辰。乙亥占來未加乙，太與婦人不相益。新舊病死良辰日，占訟忽然枷鎖逼。小兒有病告淹延，生死二氣俱入傳。命上逢生死在傳，至今危困也須安。三傳無順事纏綿，進退疑惑自遷延。若卜行人會時間，進傳帶忌有根蟠。

How do you know that someone's property will be divided? If "Heavenly Joy" initiates the transmission, and it is positioned directly at the gate position, then it is a sign. "Azure Dragon" and "Black Tortoise" are still hesitating and undecided, while "Liu He" shows the sign of "Zi," indicating a day of joy and celebration. On a Yihai day, the added element is not on "Yi," which is extremely unfavorable for women; both new and old illnesses will find their resolution on this day. If one is involved in a lawsuit, they will suddenly find themselves under the threat of imprisonment. If a child is ill and the illness is prolonged, and both "Life Qi" and "Death Qi" enter the three transmissions, then as long as the person's destiny is accompanied by "Life Qi" and "Death Qi" is within the transmissions, even though they are in a dangerous and difficult situation now, they will eventually recover. If the three transmissions are not in harmony, the matter will not be resolved quickly; if there is hesitation and indecision, it will naturally be delayed. If one is divining the time of a meeting, and the transmission progresses while carrying the "Hostile God," the matter will have some hidden complications.

日上發用內事論，日陰彼我事推論。辰上動時占別人，陰主小口宅災迍。第四辰陰有刑戰，定須小口生災譴。旺相向去自平和，常占否泰依公斷。辰陰空亡及天空，多因虛詭誑相籠。占人久病有災凶，欺罔神明心不公。午酉遞加乘勾陳，宅中難產女人驚。天空奴婢相欺凌，此類丙寅日死人。

Those divinations based on the day stem initiating the transmission concern matters within one's own household. The hidden spirit of the day stem concerns matters between oneself and others. Those divinations based on the earthly branch initiating the transmission concern others. The hidden spirit of the earthly branch concerns the household's children and disasters within the home. If the fourth lesson (earthly branch hidden spirit) has conflicts and battles, there will certainly be disasters for the household's children. If it receives the prosperous and strong energy and continues forward, it will naturally be peaceful. When judging fortune and misfortune, it is also decided in this way. If the hidden spirit of the earthly branch falls into empty loss or is accompanied by 'Heavenly Void,' it is mostly due to deceit and mutual entanglement. When divining about a long-term illness, there will be disasters and misfortunes, caused by deceiving the gods and being unjust in heart. If the branches of Wu and You mutually add upon each other and are accompanied by 'Gou Chen,' it indicates difficulties in childbirth within the family and women being startled. If 'Heavenly Void' is present, it indicates servants bullying each other. This type of divination will respond with someone's death on a Bingyin day.

凡欲幹事忌破神，干神沖破內人侵。支破卻被外人撐，太歲月建官事雲。經年累月事須詳，太歲相加數數將，一年隔歲次第張，不然患病與官妨。月建相加數幾月，亦如太歲一般說。若遇解神當解結，縱滯難通也喜悅。白虎加宅乘生氣，婦人有患或產至。兼帶血支並血忌，不久生產君須記。

When doing any affairs, the most to be avoided is the "Breaking" deity: if the deity on the day stem is broken, it indicates disturbance from family members; if the branch is broken, it signifies interference from outsiders; if the breaking falls on the Tai Su or the Month Builder, it relates to official matters. For long-term issues, they should be carefully examined: if the Tai Su is involved, count year by year, with each year corresponding to an event, proceeding sequentially; otherwise, it may indicate illness or conflict with official matters. If the Month Builder is involved, count the months, following the same method as with the Tai Su. If "Relief Deity" is encountered, it should resolve the entanglements; even if there is difficulty, it will eventually turn into joy. If "White Tiger" is present over the house and accompanied by "Life Qi," it indicates illness in women or impending childbirth; if it is further combined with the "Blood Branch" and "Blood Taboo" evils, childbirth is imminent, and the person should remember this.

上件神煞帶墓神，必須生產後災迍。本命行年死類並，因此災迍主死人。仲年仲月仲時辰，何堪月厭又相併。占人目前有禍迍，急令它去免牽人。官員遷轉問何神，須求日祿在傳並。若傳支馬大分明，有馬無祿卻難成。六癸六戊日返吟，官旺三奇有祿神。何堪傳又入三刑，四十五日荷聖恩。

The divine omens mentioned above, if combined with theTomb Spirit (grave god), will certainly bring further misfortune after childbirth; if the native's destiny and the year's stem also meet with death qi and similar ominous forces, this misfortune may result in death. In the middle years, months, and hours of Zi, Wu, Mao, and You, they cannot withstand the month's aversion (月厌) coming together; the person seeking divination will face immediate troubles and should quickly take measures to remove them, to avoid involving others. For officials seeking promotion or transfer, which god should be consulted? One should look for the禄神 (favorable stem) of the day's stem within the three transmissions (三传); if the branch of the three transmissions also carries the post-horse (驿马), the situation becomes even clearer; only having the post-horse without the favorable stem will still make the matter difficult. On the sixth癸 day and sixth戊 day, if the divination shows a returning echo (返吟) pattern, with the official star (官星) prosperous and strong, the three marvels (三奇) complete, and the favorable stem present, and if the three transmissions fall into the three punishments (三刑), then within forty-five days, one will receive imperial favor.

六甲六庚也三刑，有祿備馬備官星。比如戊癸有艱辛，支干俱破乃申寅。庚辰之日午加庚，寂寂落空莫問官。便是重權必失權，天罡加子法難覓。“罡”，金氏旁註“魁”字。天后初傳忌四季，白虎為陰多不意。不出季中妻身廢，此法切於心上記。

On Jia and Geng days, the Three Punishments are also present, along with the禄神, the Post-horse, and the official star, indicating promotion; however, compared to Wu and Gui days, there is more hardship in between, because both the branches and stems are broken, which is due to the conflict between Shen and Yin. On Gengchen day, the Wu is placed on Geng, and it is cold and lonely, falling into Kongwang, so it is not necessary to inquire about official positions; even if one holds great power, it will certainly be lost. The Tiangang is placed on Zi, making the situation even more difficult to find a way forward. Note: The character 'Gang' is written as 'Kui' by Jin氏 in the marginal notes. The 'Heavenly Empress' in the first transmission is most忌 to fall on the positions of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, the four seasons; the 'White Tiger' is also considered a yin spirit, often leading to unexpected changes. Within this season, the wife's health will be harmed, and this point should be remembered clearly.

吉星卻入空亡內，凶星又來支干寄。宅廢人災多不意，若占凶事反平易。末句即“已災凶禍反無虞。”之意也。太沖無令入酉申，床凳腳損不堪憑。令人腳痛及胃疼，修換堅牢病自平。金氏旁改“修換為有救。”癖改為病。

A fortunate star falling into Kongwang indicates misfortune, while an evil star residing on the branch or stem suggests the house will be abandoned and people will suffer unexpected calamities. However, if used to predict dangerous matters, the outcome will be smooth and easy. The last sentence means that existing disasters and misfortunes will not cause worry. If Taichong (Mao) does not have authority and enters the position of You or Shen, it indicates that the legs of chairs and benches will be damaged and unreliable, causing foot pain and stomachache. If they are repaired and made secure, the illness will naturally recover. Note: Jin's annotation changes 'repaired and replaced' to 'saved' and 'habit' to 'illness'.

天空加卯望人來，戌為人力更和諧。若帶天喜吉頻諧，定須報喜得開懷。天空臨支或空亡，或在對門左右居。更帶四廢無吉祥，屋倒門摧欲廢將。注云：四廢，春庚辛，夏壬癸，秋甲乙，冬丙丁。死氣入傳莫占病，忽然生氣來加命。臨危不死只重症，得入空亡凶更定。

The term "Tian Kong" placed on the Mao position indicates someone is expected to arrive, with the Xu position indicating assistance from others, making things more harmonious and smooth. If "Tian Xing" is also present, auspicious events will frequently align, and there will certainly be good news, bringing joy. However, if "Tian Kong" is on the branch or falls into "Kong Wang," or is in the opposite position or adjacent positions, and is accompanied by "Si Fei," there will be no auspiciousness at all; the house may collapse, the door may be destroyed, and the place will soon be abandoned. Note: On days of "Si Fei," in spring it is庚 and 辛, in summer it is 壬 and 癸, in autumn it is 甲 and 乙, and in winter it is 丙 and 丁. If "Si Qi" enters the "San Chuan," do not predict illness. If suddenly "Sheng Qi" comes to affect the original destiny, then even though in danger, death is not certain, but it will be a serious illness. However, if "Sheng Qi" falls into "Kong Wang," the ominous sign becomes certain.

未加卯上曲直名，東司壁破見人身。老婦久病病難醒，乙日更乘官事頻。元武來加入浴盆，豐都使者號追魂，病人十日內須傾，出入須防溺水驚。反官驛馬祿青龍，武職太常白虎通，文龍武虎皆不從，官星不旺也難容。貧道新添一百章，未必全為珠玉藏。若有後人情斯者，洞澈天機理妙長。

The branch 未 is placed on 卯, forming the name of the "curved and straight" wood formation. This indicates damage to the walls of the eastern toilet, allowing visibility of human figures. An elderly woman suffering from a long illness may be in a state of confusion and difficulty in waking. If this occurs on an 乙 day, legal disputes will continue to arise frequently. When Black Tortoise arrives and joins the position of the bath, it signifies the messenger from Fencheng, known as the "soul catcher." The patient will certainly perish within ten days, and one should also be cautious of sudden dangers from drowning. In reverse, regarding official positions: The Post-horse and 禄神 along with Azure Dragon indicate civil officials, while Tai Chang and White Tiger relate to military ranks. If civil officials are not accompanied by Azure Dragon or military officials are not accompanied by White Tiger, they cannot support each other. If the official star is not strong, it will be difficult to secure a position. The Daoist has newly added these one hundred verses, which may not all be treasures; if future generations are fond of them, they can understand the heavenly mechanism, and the meaning and principles within are profound and enduring.

天空之陰作元武，盜賊入家相陵侮。天后之陰是白虎，月中絃斷應難補。三傳年命及正時，若逢驛馬莫推移。生月後四胎空推，臍帶纏頭不用疑。六戊六癸日伏吟，官旺三奇有福神。何堪傳又入三刑，四十五日荷天恩。

The spirit of Tian Kong falls as Yuan Wu, indicating thieves entering the house to insult and humiliate; the spirit of Tian Hou falls as Bai Hu, like the moon reaching the middle of its cycle and the string breaking, which once fulfilled is hard to repair. If the three transmissions, the year's fate, and the exact hour encounter Yima, the matter should not be delayed any longer. From the month of conception, counting the fourth position as the fetal spirit, if it falls on Kongwang, incidents such as the umbilical cord around the neck need not be doubted. On the days of Liu Wu and Liu Gui, if the Fu Yin lesson occurs, the official star is prosperous and strong, the three marvels are complete, and there are auspicious deities; adding the three transmissions falling into the three punishments, one will receive Heavenly Grace within forty-five days.

天空加卯地土蕪，積穢不潔或當途。不能逐日香火疏，阻隔人財久不居。四絕又並馬入墓，喜中生災，人無路。不問四墓覆四生，病痊再發訟復興。仇人和了又重嗔，畢竟墓退生復生。前二句原本連此章貫下之，金氏以硃筆畫斷，餘細玩文義，實不相貫，故從前缺文例另錄之。

The "Tian Kong" (Sky) is placed on the Mao (Rabbit) position, indicating barren land, accumulation of filth and uncleanness, or being located at a crossroads. It is not possible to burn incense and sweep daily, leading to obstruction of people and wealth, and difficulty in staying long. The "Four Absolute" deities also join with the Post-horse (Yi Ma) and enter the tomb position, causing a disaster from joy, leaving people with no way out. There is no need to inquire about the four tombs pressing down on the four life positions: when illness is cured, it will recur; when lawsuits are settled, they will arise again; when enemies reconcile, they will become angry again. After all, once the tomb energy retreats, the life energy will rise again. Note: The first two sentences were originally connected with this chapter, but Jin's red ink cut them off. After carefully considering the meaning, I found they are not connected, so I have recorded them separately following the format of "missing text."

子，神后天后，屬齊，女虛危三宿。丑，大吉天乙，屬吳，斗牛二宿。寅，功曹青龍，屬越，尾箕二宿。卯，太沖六合，屬宋，氐房心三宿。辰，天罡勾陳，屬鄭，角亢。巳，太乙螣蛇，屬楚，翼軫二宿。

The position of Zi corresponds to the Month General named Shenhou, and the Heavenly General is Tianhou. Its territory corresponds to the state of Qi, and it aligns with the constellations Nu, Xu, and Wei.

This is from the eighth volume of 'Liu Ren Gui Cuo Jiao', and the 'Jiu Wan Bai Zhang Ge' ends here. From this volume to the summary of 'Yu Tian Ge', there are five volumes in total, along with the previous volume 'Xun Zhong Shen Sha', which are all hidden and not transmitted elsewhere. Those who have the fortune to obtain them should treat them with respect and keep them secret. Spring Garden records this.

朱雀來臨旺相中，行年月建命相逢，驛馬加臨日辰用，高名先在薦書中。占解試，須得朱雀乘旺相氣，更加年命月建，又傳驛馬加日辰。朱雀加臨旺相中，上下相生不落空，更乘有氣吉神助，高名科甲喜重重。太歲為吉將剋日辰，年值天乙，定得官也。

The Vermilion Bird governs official documents and messages. If it arrives and rides on the prosperous and strong energy, and also meets the year pillar, the month builder, and the native's destiny, and the Post-horse is added on the day branch and initiates the transmission, then a high reputation has already been recorded in the recommendation list. For divination on the examination (a type of local examination), it is essential that the Vermilion Bird rides on the prosperous and strong energy, and also combines with the year and destiny, the month builder, and the three transmissions must include the Post-horse added on the day branch. When the Vermilion Bird is present and in the prosperous and strong position, the upper and lower elements mutually generate without falling into Kongwang, and it is supported by auspicious deities with energy, then a high reputation and official rank will bring many joyful events. If the sovereign year is a favorable general that overcomes the day branch, and this year also meets the Tianyi Guiren, then an official position is certainly obtained.

歲為將剋日辰年，更為傳用是占官，若逢天乙臨生旺，日辰蛇虎卻徒然。求財須是責青龍，龍喪身時定是凶，入水求之百倍豐，若還出水也成空。在未，入墓喪身；在雀午乘龍，亦謂喪身求財無氣。在亥謂之入水，利多，在子謂之出水，則利少。

The Tai Su is considered as a Heavenly General that overcomes the Day Branch, the Day Stem, and the personal year. It also becomes the initiating transmission of the Three Transmissions, which forms the pattern for predicting official positions. If it is further accompanied by the Nobleman of Heaven (Tian Yi Guiren) located in a favorable and flourishing position, then even if the Day Branch has Teng Snake or White Tiger, it will not be harmful. When seeking wealth, one must rely on the Azure Dragon. If the Azure Dragon suffers a loss, it will certainly be ominous. If the Azure Dragon enters water, it will bring a hundredfold profit; but if it leaves water, the benefit will be lost. When the Azure Dragon is in the hexagram of Wei (Earth), it is considered as entering the tomb and suffering a loss; when it is in the hexagram of Wu (Fire), which is the position of the Vermilion Bird, it is also considered as suffering a loss, and seeking wealth will be ineffective. When the Azure Dragon is in the hexagram of Hai (Water), it is called entering water, which brings great profit; but when it is in the hexagram of Zi (Water), it is called leaving water, which results in less profit.

日時之上要財臨，莫犯空亡亡劫神，貴人龍雀乘干克，二馬帶貴須速尋。初末傳有氣，怕犯空，貴人等乘日，復見克為財。貴人等帶二馬，乘財者，隔州路出外之財。年財臨歲月主纏，龍蛇營運及妝奩，玄僧虎孝屠公吏，省眷勾合斗田園。玄僧道之財，虎孝家、公吏、屠 。

On the day and hour, there should be the wealth god occupying the position; it is not allowed to be in the empty position or to be afflicted by 'Wangshen' or 'Jiesha'. If 'Nobleman', 'Azure Dragon', and 'Vermilion Bird' are on the day stem and are being overcome, that indicates wealth. If 'Heavenly Horse' and 'Post-horse' are accompanied by the Nobleman, one should hurry to seek wealth. The first and last transmissions should have vitality; they should not be in the empty position. If the Nobleman is on the day and is being overcome, that indicates wealth. If the Nobleman is accompanied by two horses and is on wealth, it indicates wealth obtained from distant places or through travel. If the wealth god is on the current year's stem and is on the sovereign or the month builder, it indicates continuous entanglements. 'Azure Dragon' and 'Teng Snake' indicate business operations and dowry items. 'Black Tortoise' indicates wealth from monks and Taoists, 'White Tiger' indicates wealth from filial families, public officials, and butchers. 'Tai Chang' indicates visiting relatives, while 'Gou Chen' and 'Liu He' indicate disputes over fields and land. The 'Black Tortoise' is wealth from monks and Taoists, and the 'White Tiger' is wealth from filial families, public officials, and butchers.

後陰婦女與金銀，太常衣服貸親人，天空爭奪最不仁，貴人尊長賜時新。財帶陰后，是婦人金銀釵釧之財；太常是借貸衣服之財。天空是爭奪之財，貴人是尊長賜與之財。青龍受克利難圖，龍克歲君利有餘，財加生旺意自用，用起空亡才自除。

The Heavenly Empress and Tai Yin represent wealth from women and jewelry; Tai Chang represents wealth from clothing and loans from relatives; Tian Kong represents wealth obtained through force and unrighteous means; and Nobleman represents wealth given by superiors as new items. If the wealth sign is accompanied by Tai Yin or Heavenly Empress, it signifies wealth from women's jewelry; if accompanied by Tai Chang, it signifies wealth from borrowing clothes; if accompanied by Tian Kong, it signifies wealth obtained through contention; if accompanied by Nobleman, it signifies wealth given by superiors. If the Azure Dragon is weakened, benefits will be difficult to obtain; if the Azure Dragon overcomes the Tai Su, profit will be abundant; if the wealth sign is in a flourishing and vigorous position, it can be used as desired; if the initiating transmission falls into Kongwang, wealth will naturally disappear.

卯占早近卯陽臨，陰局須遲遠處音。二月中氣分離事，酉居八月反茲尋。卯居陽局，主早信，陽朝信也。卯曰門，卯臨陰局，主晚信並遲。在春分時占得，主分離信。酉臨陽局，主暗遠信並遲信，臨陰局，主早近明信。在秋分占，主分離信。

Using the trigram卯 to divinate, if卯 is in a yang palace, it indicates that news comes early and from a nearby place; if it is in a yin palace, the news arrives slowly and from a distant place. If the divination is done during the middle of spring equinox in the second month, it indicates matters of separation; when酉 is in the eighth month, the same principle applies in reverse. If卯 is in a yang palace, it suggests receiving news early, specifically in the morning; since卯 is also called the gate, if it is in a yin palace, the news comes late and is delayed; if the divination is done during the spring equinox, it indicates news of separation. If酉 is in a yang palace, it suggests receiving obscure and delayed news from a distant place; if it is in a yin palace, the news comes early and is clear, coming from a nearby place; if the divination is done during the autumn equinox, it indicates matters of separation.

欲知丹詔發京華，傳內歲君月將查，天馬一處並交加，此為天子信無差。虎馬卻來厭煞乘，傳中不與水神並，相旺更沒空亡煞，殿頭內職信分明。殿班內職，走馬信至也。遠信月將加正時，日上神陰是信期，信建臨官並帝旺，方神無氣信方歸。日上神陰，是信神。信神帶官旺即來，囚死空即無信也。神建旺處，信至之期。家神旺無信，休囚立至。

To determine whether an imperial edict has come from the capital, examine the three transmissions to see if the year stem and the month general are present. If the Heavenly Horse is also in the same position, this indicates the emperor's message, without error. However, if the White Tiger and the post-horse are riding the Month Aversion, and the three transmissions do not align with the water deity, and if they have the strength of prosperity rather than weakness, and there is no Kongwang, then this indicates a message from an inner official in the palace, which is certain to arrive. The term 'inner official in the palace' refers to those who ride horses to deliver messages. When predicting news from afar, place the month general on the hour. The hidden deity of the day's stem is the messenger's time. If the messenger deity is in the position of officialdom or prosperity, the message will arrive. If the directional deity lacks strength, the message will return. The hidden deity of the day's stem is the messenger deity. If the messenger deity carries the strength of the official star, the message will arrive. If it falls in a state of weakness, death, or Kongwang, there will be no message. The place where the deity and the month builder are both strong is the time the message will arrive. If the family deity is strong, there will be no message, but if it is weak, the message will arrive immediately.

武來克信信隨歸，信來克武尚猶遲，更看元武入墓時，此是信來端的期。信來傳內害兼空，信必欺誣不可從，信為日鬼復刑害，語定侵凌用意凶。信神帶六害空亡入傳，或立於空亡之地，為詐信。信神為日鬼帶刑害，有人侵凌之意。行人若要問來期，四課行年六處摧，辰上兩課立見歸，日干兩課到時遲。行人行年入四課，得辰上兩課發用，定來速。日上兩課來遲。

The Black Tortoise comes to attack the messenger god, indicating that the message will return soon; if the messenger god attacks the Black Tortoise, the message will arrive later. Observing when the Black Tortoise enters its tomb, that is the exact date the message will arrive. If the messenger god falls into the three transmissions along with the sixth harm and also enters the Kongwang, the message is certainly false and should not be believed. If the messenger god becomes the official ghost of the day stem and also carries punishment and harm, then the person's words will certainly be disrespectful and have ill intentions. If the messenger god carries the sixth harm, Kongwang, and enters the transmission, or stands on Kongwang, it is a false message. If the messenger god becomes the day's official ghost and also carries punishment and harm, someone is intentionally being disrespectful. When divining about a traveler's return, one should examine the four lessons and the traveler's age, considering these six aspects: if the two lessons on the辰 (Chen) initiate the transmission, the person will return immediately; if the two lessons on the day stem initiate the transmission, the return will be delayed. If the traveler's age falls into the four lessons, and the two lessons on the辰 initiate the transmission, the person will come quickly; if the two lessons on the day stem initiate the transmission, the person will come slowly.

正貴為用即時來。三傳俱順卻徘徊。陽日伏吟傳內歸，行人帶馬不須催。正貴為用立至，正時見返吟未到。陽日伏吟，如丙寅日，巳申寅，自外傳內，立至。又如戊寅日，申亥寅，占行人立至，以初傳日辰為用。飛神又帶馬，故來遲。日為外，辰為內，辛未日伏吟，陰日伏吟，未丑戌，自內傳出外，行人未歸也。

The nobleman is the one initiating the transmission, and the traveler arrives immediately; if the three transmissions are all in order, the traveler is still hesitating and has not returned. On a yang day, if the divination is 'hidden chant', and the three transmissions go from outside to inside, the traveler will return; if the traveler is accompanied by the post-horse, there is no need to urge him. The nobleman initiating the transmission means the person arrives immediately; if the time is 'returning chant', the person has not yet arrived. On a yang day with 'hidden chant', for example, on a Bingyin day, the three transmissions are巳, 申, 寅, going from outside to inside, and the traveler arrives immediately; again, on a Wuyin day, the three transmissions are申, 亥, 寅, and the traveler also arrives immediately, with the first transmission initiating from the day branch. If the flying god also brings the post-horse, the traveler arrives later. The day stem is outside, the day branch is inside; on a Xinwei day, which is a yin day, the three transmissions are未, 丑, 戌, going from inside to outside, and the traveler has not yet returned.

欲問行人來未來，但將飛伏二神猜。第三第四不用摧，飛即臨門伏未回。傳上神剋日干為飛，日干克傳上神為伏，更加傳上第三第四為用，來得尤速。白虎行年道路神，貴人太歲本家尊，家旺路衰歸騎奔，家衰路旺未回身。白虎行年為路，貴歲為家。路在空亡敗墓鄉，家神克路路神空，行年白虎會今日，便是歸期不用詳。行年白虎二神合日即歸。

To determine whether a traveler will come or not, focus on the 'Flying God' and 'Hidden God'. The third and fourth lessons do not need detailed analysis. The Flying God indicates that the person has already arrived, while the Hidden God suggests the person has not yet returned. If the god in the third transmission is strong enough to overcome the day stem, it is called the 'Flying God'. If the day stem overcomes the god in the third transmission, it is called the 'Hidden God'. Further analysis should be based on the third and fourth lessons' initiating transmissions, which indicate a faster arrival. The 'White Tiger' and 'Year God' represent the road, while the 'Nobleman' and 'Celestial Stem' represent the family. If the family is strong but the road is weak, the person will return quickly by horse. If the family is weak but the road is strong, the person will not return. The 'White Tiger' and 'Year God' symbolize the road, while the 'Nobleman' and 'Celestial Stem' symbolize the family. If the road gods are in the 'Kongwang' position, or in a failed, buried, or tomb-like state, or if the family gods overcome the road gods, or if the road gods are in the 'Kongwang' position, and the 'Year God' and 'White Tiger' are in the same day, then the traveler will return, and further analysis is unnecessary. If the 'Year God' and 'White Tiger' are in harmony with the day stem, the person will return.

三傳中神克歲君，行子憂災虎病侵，陽吟外至人內傳，陰內傳外杳無音。游神加孟尚遲遲，仲季加之不從歸，貴人加日至不疑，天罡加季不移時。游神，春巳、夏子、秋酉、冬辰，加孟未至，加仲季不久至。白虎加臨在戌宮，用神卯酉亥相逢，定須即日解歸驄，二馬臨墓占一同。若是音信尚未通，朱雀之陰問來蹤。馬旺即到，丁卯日辰時，辰加卯為用，上見虎，又天馬克日上，當是巳時歸。

In the three transmissions, if the divine element overpowers the year's sovereign, the person going out will face worries and calamities, and the White Tiger brings illness and disturbances. On a yang day, when there is a hidden chant, the three transmissions come from outside to inside, and the person arrives. On a yin day, when there is a hidden chant, the three transmissions come from inside to outside, and there is no news. If the wandering spirit is placed on the four first branches (the four young months), the person will not arrive soon; if it is placed on the four middle branches or the four last branches, the person will return soon. If the nobleman is placed on the day branch, the person will arrive without doubt. If the Tiangang (Chen) is placed on the four last branches, the person will arrive immediately. The position of the wandering spirit: in spring it is in巳, in summer in子, in autumn in酉, and in winter in辰. If the wandering spirit is placed on the four first branches, the person will not arrive soon; if placed on the four middle branches or the four last branches, the person will arrive soon. If the White Tiger is placed in the戌 palace, and the useful god meets with卯,酉, or亥, the person will definitely return and dismount that day. When the Heavenly Horse and the Post-horse are in their tomb positions, the divination is the same. If there is still no news, ask the Yin spirit of the Vermilion Bird to trace the trail. If the Post-horse is strong, the person will arrive immediately: for example, on a Dingmao day at the hour of辰, if the辰 is placed on卯 and initiates the transmission, and the White Tiger is above it, with the Heavenly Horse marking the day's god, the person should return at the hour of巳.

行逾千里貴前尋，倍此而須數後程。前去後歸兩般論，彼此原來第五辰。近行龍路月為家，路克家回家克賒。返吟為用月復加，望人立至定無差。乘神家克路未回，是太陰克青龍所乘神。返吟為用，太陰加立至。返吟時，占行人多不來。雖是二馬傳墓，亦不來。返吟日為用，與月建相會，立至。

If the journey is more than a thousand miles, one should look for the Nobleman first; if it is twice as far, then one should count the distance after the Nobleman. Going forward and returning should be considered separately, both originally taking the fifth hour (the hour obtained by adding the positions apart). For short journeys, the Azure Dragon represents the path and the Month Builder represents the home: if the path overcomes the home, the person will return soon; if the home overcomes the path, the return will be delayed. If the transmission starts with a return echo and the Month Builder also joins, the expected person will arrive immediately without error. If the god accompanying the journey is overcome by the home, the person will not return, which is due to the Tai Yin overcoming the Azure Dragon. If the transmission starts with a return echo and the Tai Yin joins, the person will arrive immediately; but when a return echo occurs, the expected person usually does not come. Even if two horses enter the tomb, they still do not come. If the day of the return echo starts the transmission and meets the Month Builder, the person will arrive immediately.

欲將所孕卜月日，先看發用在何方，一二貴前主弄璋，四三貴後細消詳。用在第一二課，又在在乙前是男。用在三四課，又乙後是女。陰人年見有女占，那堪傳送復加年，三傳俱陰女不錯，純是陽時男有緣。行年上見陰是女，陽是男，三傳俱陽生男，俱陰生女。假令用在日陽，陽旺在卯，上見子，子為陽，即生男；陽日取日干旺處，陰日支生處是也。

To determine the month and day of birth of a pregnant woman, first look at where the initiating transmission falls. If the initiating transmission is in the first or second lesson and is before the nobleman, it indicates a male child. If it is in the fourth or third lesson and is after the nobleman, one must carefully examine further, which mostly indicates a female child. If the initiating transmission is in the first or second lesson and is before the heavenly stem Tianyi, it is a male child. If it is in the third or fourth lesson and is after Tianyi, it is a female child. If the person's age is seen with a yin general, it indicates a female child; and if the transmission (Shen) is also added on top of the age, then it is definitely a female child. If all three transmissions are yin generals, it is certain to be a female child. If all are yang generals, then it is likely a male child. If the age is seen with a yin general, it indicates a female child; if with a yang general, it indicates a male child. If all three transmissions are yang generals, it indicates a male child; if all are yin generals, it indicates a female child. If the initiating transmission is on the yang position of the day, the yang strength is at卯 (Mao), and if there is 子 (Zi) on Mao, which belongs to yang, it indicates a male child. On a yang day, take the position where the day stem is strong; on a yin day, take the position where the branch god is born. This is the principle behind it.

三傳內藏卯酉神，兩門出入是其因。子午乘龍妻妾娠，血支血忌生氣並。月將加產母行年，數至今日日辰看，若值空亡兼命年，三合四煞望生難。月將加母行年，數至今辰，若空及年命值四殺三合，凶。用神月建母行年，三處同將一法占，陰即為女陽即男，三處二空胎盡然。三處見兩重空亡，又加墓地是胎。

Within the three transmissions, there are hidden the spirits of卯 and酉, which are the two gateways, through which all coming and going begins. The spirits of子 and午 are occupied by the Azure Dragon, which indicates matters concerning wives and concubines and pregnancy. If the Blood Branch, Blood Taboo, and Life Qi all coincide with these, it is a clear confirmation. Place the Month General on the mother's birth year, count to today's Day Branch, and observe. If it falls on Kongwang, and the mother's birth year is unfavorable, and also meets the Triple Harmony and Four Evils, then a smooth delivery becomes difficult. Place the Month General on the mother's birth year, count to today's Day Branch, and observe. If it falls on Kongwang, and the mother's birth year is afflicted by the Four Evils or the Triple Harmony, it indicates danger. The spirit of the Initiating Transmission, the Month Builder, and the mother's birth year should all be calculated using the same Heavenly General and the same method: a Yin General indicates a female, and a Yang General indicates a male. If two of the three places fall on Kongwang, the fetus is likely to be lost. If all three places fall on Kongwang and are also over a tomb, the fetus is certain to be lost.

螣蛇白虎若重逢，更帶兒傳兩子同，三傳大殺飛廉虎玄同，須更立產在其中。蛇虎兩重者，假令巳作蛇，巳在蛇本位，故云重。又須帶兒子，主雙生。假如己巳日午將巳時，虎視課，兩重申，申即兩重白虎也，後於申月申時生兩男。若三傳中逢大煞、白虎、天空，立產。大煞旁，金氏朱注“飛廉”。

If both "Teng Snake" and "White Tiger" appear together, and the "Son and Grandson" hexagram is included in the transmission, it indicates a twin birth. If the three transmissions contain "Great Sha" (i.e., Fei Lian), along with "White Tiger" and "Black Tortoise," it indicates immediate childbirth. The term "two heavy Teng Snake and White Tiger" refers to a situation where "Teng Snake" is on the position of "Si" which is its original position, thus called "heavy." It also requires the presence of the "Son and Grandson" hexagram to indicate twins. For example, on the day of Ji Si with Wu general and the time of Si, the "Hu Shi" lesson was obtained, with two "Shen" positions, meaning two "White Tigers," and later two boys were born in the month and hour of Shen. If the three transmissions include "Great Sha," "White Tiger," and "Tian Kong," it indicates immediate childbirth. "Great Sha" is noted by Jin as "Fei Lian" in red ink.

類不逢空旺相乘，傳生支合事須成，見類日鬼空刑害，所干不遂類中明。幹事，三傳上下相生，支神三六合干合，所干成。雖是見類，與今日為鬼，或刑害空亡，三傳見害，不成。傳中用事之人，須此原本作“比”字。言之。

The type of deity involved is not in Kongwang and is riding on the prosperous and strong energy, with the three transmissions mutually generating and also harmonizing with the branch deity, so the matter will certainly succeed. If the type of deity becomes the official ghost of the day stem, or falls into Kongwang, or is accompanied by punishment and harm, the matter will not go smoothly, and this is clearly seen in the type of deity. When doing things, if the three transmissions are mutually generating between upper and lower, and the branch deity forms a triple harmony or Liu He with the day stem, the matter will succeed. Although the type of deity is seen, if it becomes the official ghost of the day stem today, or there are punishment, harm, or Kongwang, and there is also harm in the three transmissions, the matter will not be completed. The person in charge in the three transmissions should also be discussed according to this principle.

占婚二后忌刑傷，子逢天后女賢良，丑為天乙男清秀，占妻占得喜非常。二后無克戰刑害，若子作天后，女新妍；丑作天乙，男清俊。假如寅卯日占婚，亥卯未局作傳神。必是連枝帶葉親，兩個姑舅作來回。寅卯日傳曲直，巳午日得炎上。若逢巳酉丑三傳，婚姻異類隔山川。五行依此言三合，須知四格不同然。從革難成，眾中分雜之意也。

Divination for marriage indicates that the Heavenly Empress and the Heavenly Ethereal Nobleman should not be afflicted by punishment or harm. If the position of Zi (rat) has the Heavenly Empress, the woman is virtuous; if the position of Chou (ox) has the Heavenly Ethereal Nobleman, the man is handsome. If the divination for a wife shows such a pattern, it is very auspicious. The Heavenly Empress and Heavenly Ethereal Nobleman should not be in conflict or afflicted. If the position of Zi has the Heavenly Empress, the woman is newly beautiful; if the position of Chou has the Heavenly Ethereal Nobleman, the man is handsome. If the divination is done on a Yin or Mao day and the three transmissions form the wood triad of Hai-Mao-Wei, it indicates a marriage between relatives, with branches of families intermarrying. If the three transmissions form the "Qizhi" wood pattern on Yin or Mao days, or the "Yan Shang" fire pattern on Si or Wu days, they all fall into this category. If the three transmissions form the metal triad of Si-You-Chou, the marriage partners are of different kinds, separated by mountains and rivers. The Five Phases are interpreted according to the Triple Harmony, but it is important to recognize that there are four different patterns. The "Cong Ge" metal pattern indicates difficulty in achieving marriage, reflecting the idea of diversity and disorder among people.

旺氣與日為官鬼，勾朱貴會訟官司。相歷不陷於涉害，支干三六合為貴。占鬼，傳中見旺氣來克，為官鬼，更雀勾貴者，便言事因官府。又神將上下不落空亡，又須不歷涉害。與支干上三合六合，官司必成，對訟伸雪必勝，人老占病必死。如丙子日午將寅時老病。

The divine spirit of prosperity becomes the official ghost relative to the day stem. If the "Gou Chen," "Vermilion Bird," and "Nobleman" come together, it indicates legal disputes. If the spirits involved do not fall into the category of harmful influences and form a Triple Harmony or Liu He with the branches and stems, it is considered a noble pattern. When divining about official ghosts, if the three transmissions contain a prosperous spirit that attacks the day stem, it indicates an official ghost. If there are also "Vermilion Bird," "Gou Chen," and "Nobleman," the matter is caused by the government. Moreover, if the divine spirits and officials are not in Kongwang and do not encounter harmful influences, and form Triple Harmony or Liu He with the branches and stems, then the lawsuit will definitely proceed, and the person will win the case by presenting their case in court. However, if an elderly person is divining about illness, it indicates certain death. For example, on a Bingzi day with a Wu general at寅 hour, divining about an elderly person's illness is like this.

相氣日鬼入傳時，吉神生合干官司，雀勾刑害日財為，落空爭理失便宜。傳中相氣剋日為鬼，若得吉神良將，上下相生，六合三合，或干貴或，主謀生事，及干官理事，若刑害與日為財者，主官中爭財，落空不成。相氣初剋日為財，定知財上事關懷。將是後陰並六合，便於妻妾位中猜。傳中見相氣，與日為財，即主財事。後陰六合，便是妻事。為今日子孫，便言子孫。

The spirit of mutual influence acts as the official ghost of the day stem and enters the three transmissions. If a favorable deity is in harmony or mutual generation with it, it indicates matters concerning official affairs. If it is accompanied by 'Vermilion Bird' and 'Gou Chen' along with punishment and harm, and this deity is considered wealth to the day stem, then if it falls into Kongwang, it will not be able to argue its case and will lose the advantage. If the spirit of mutual influence in the three transmissions overcomes the day stem, it is considered a ghost. If it is supported by favorable deities and good generals, and there is mutual generation between them, forming Liu He or San He, or if the day stem seeks a nobleman, it indicates matters of planning and earning a living, as well as seeking official affairs and handling public matters. If it is accompanied by punishment and harm and is considered wealth to the day stem, it indicates contention over money within official circles. If it falls into Kongwang, the contention will not succeed. If the spirit of mutual influence in the first transmission overcomes the day stem and is considered wealth, it indicates matters concerning money. If the riding general is 'Heavenly Empress', 'Tai Yin', and 'Liu He', it suggests matters related to wife and concubine. If the three transmissions contain the spirit of mutual influence, and it is considered wealth to the day stem, it indicates matters concerning wealth. If it is accompanied by 'Heavenly Empress', 'Tai Yin', and 'Liu He', it refers to matters concerning wife and concubine. If it is the day's son爻, it refers to matters concerning children.

傳死占日為鬼並，死兼喪吊墓煞乘，蛇虎玄命喪家事，披刑帶煞任須停。傳中死氣剋日，披刑煞等，官任上占得，必因喪人而歸也。囚動日鬼二獄逢，傳墓勾蛇雀虎叢，官災牢禁繫獄中，化作空貴反不凶。傳見囚氣剋日，重加天地二獄，或傳入墓，將見雀等凶。天獄，春辰、夏午、秋戌、冬子。一雲夏未冬丑。地獄，正戌逆行十二辰，月獄同。

In the three transmissions, if the death qi is present and it becomes the official ghost of the day stem, and also shares the same position with 'the mourning-and-condolence spirit', 'the guest', and the tomb evil, and further 'the teng snake', 'the white tiger', and 'the black tortoise' are added upon the native's chart, it indicates a calamity for the family; if there are punishments and evils, all official duties must be suspended. If the death qi in the three transmissions overcomes the day stem and is accompanied by punishments and evils, and the divination is made while the person is in office, it certainly indicates that the person will return home due to the death of a family member. If the prison qi is activated and becomes the official ghost of the day stem, and it coincides with 'heavenly prison' and 'hell', and the three transmissions are in the tomb, and 'gou chen', 'teng snake', 'vermilion bird', and 'white tiger' gather together, it indicates official calamity and imprisonment; if it becomes kongwang or is assisted by the nobleman, it will not be so bad. If the prison qi in the three transmissions overcomes the day stem, and the heaven and earth prisons are added, or if the three transmissions are in the tomb and the heavenly general meets the vermilion bird, it will be dangerous. Heavenly prison: in spring it is in the dragon hour, in summer in the horse hour, in autumn in the dog hour, and in winter in the rat hour; another saying is that in summer it is in the goat hour and in winter in the ox hour. Hell: in the first lunar month it is in the dog hour, and it moves in reverse order through the twelve hours, and the monthly prison is the same.

囚氣歲月並飛廉，煞上天赦朱雀兼。官吏終須見赦原，囚與日和藏避占。傳中囚死動，歲月二馬並大煞，或大殺之上得雀與天赦，定赦原。若囚氣與正和，神將無戰者，其人占藏避。天赦，正未順四季。大煞，正戌、二巳、三午、四未、五寅、六卯、七辰、八亥、九子、十丑、十一申、十二酉，即飛廉。

The presence of囚气 together with 太岁, Month Builder, and 「飞廉」 indicates that the official involved will eventually be pardoned. If囚气 harmonizes with the day stem, the divination concerns hiding or evading. When囚气 and Death Qi appear in the three transmissions, and 太岁, Month Builder, two horses, and 「大煞」 are all present, or if 「天赦」 and 「朱雀」 are above Great Sha, there will certainly be a pardon. If囚气 harmonizes with the current day and there is no conflict among the spirits and generals, the person is involved in hiding or evading. Heavenly Pardon occurs in the sixth earthly branch in the first lunar month, and proceeds in order through the four seasons. Great Sha appears in the ninth earthly branch in the first lunar month, fourth in the second, fifth in the third, sixth in the fourth, first in the fifth, second in the sixth, third in the seventh, tenth in the eighth, first in the ninth, second in the tenth, seventh in the eleventh, and eighth in the twelfth, which is also referred to as 飞廉.

休動與正墓神並，被刑害鬼病來縈，老幼逢休死之靈，如用官鬼訟之嗔。傳中休氣動，今日墓神披刑害鬼，主占病。與日何類，便是何等人病。生日為父母，即言父母老者之類。小兒占得必死。生氣才生，休乃老者，故曰死。

When the Qi of rest is activated and comes together with theTomb Spirit of the current day, and is further afflicted by刑,害, and鬼, illness will cling to the body. Elderly people and children encountering the spirits of rest and death, if the spirit is also the official ghost initiating the transmission, there will be disputes and conflicts. If the three transmissions contain the Qi of rest, and theTomb Spirit of the day is accompanied by刑,害, and鬼, it indicates illness. The relationship between this spirit and the day stem determines who is sick: if the day stem is the parent's stem, then the sick person is the parents or elders. If a child is involved, it indicates certain death. The Qi of life is just beginning to arise, while the Qi of rest signifies old age, hence it is called 'death'.

卯酉為格子午關，天罡加處事多艱。加於子卯多阻滯，午酉河津道路艱。天罡加子午為關，卯酉為格。子上為天關，午上為地關。卯為天格，酉上為地格。天之關格，必因天時風雨之類所格；地之關格，必因路險河漲、關津所格。涉害為用得火神，下臨壬癸隔江津。土神若見甲與寅，定應阻隔在山林。涉害為用，得火神，下臨壬癸，水路有阻隔。若用土神，下臨甲寅，以山林來向有阻也。

The trigrams Mao and You are called "Ge," while Zi and Wu are called "Guan." When Tiangang (Chen) is added to these positions, things become more difficult. If Tiangang is added to Zi and Mao, there will be more obstructions; if added to Wu and You, river crossings and roads will be difficult. Tiangang added to Zi and Wu are called "Guan," and those added to Mao and You are called "Ge." Zi is called Tian Guan, Wu is called Di Guan; Mao is called Tian Ge, You is called Di Ge. The heavenly Guan and Ge are obstructed by heavenly phenomena such as wind and rain; the earthly Guan and Ge are obstructed by difficult terrain, swollen rivers, and checkpoints and river crossings. Using the method of "Shihai" (Involving Harm), if the fire deity is obtained and there is壬 or癸 water below, it indicates obstruction at river crossings; if the earth deity is obtained and there are Jiayin wood below, it indicates obstruction in mountainous areas. Using the method of "Shihai," if the fire deity is obtained with壬 or癸 water below, there is obstruction on water routes; if the earth deity is obtained with Jiayin wood below, the obstruction comes from the mountainous areas.

涉害為用得金神，下臨巳午散財因。木神在於庚辛上，衢路兵戈阻隔人。更以式中刑害空亡、官鬼旺相休囚消息言之。天空乘未井為妖，家內興災非一朝。勾陳辰卯訟相抬，血忌來臨訟不饒。井妖，主家中有宿病之人。勾陳朱雀及六合，官事占之未免迍。如乘戌卯丑傳上，問病須教淚滿襟。

Using the method of "involved harm" to initiate the transmission and obtaining the metal god, if there are fire signs of si and wu above, it indicates obstruction due to financial loss. If the wood god falls on geng and xin metal, it suggests obstruction of travelers due to military conflict on the main road. In addition, one should also consider the punishments, harms, kongwang, and the prosperity, strength, weakness, and confinement of official ghosts in the chart. "Tiankong" is on wei, indicating a well demon causing disaster at home, which is not a sudden occurrence. "Gouchen" is in chen or mao position, indicating litigation matters arising again, and with "xueji" arriving, the lawsuit will be even more severe.the so-called well demon indicates there is a long-term sick person at home. When "gouchen", "zhuque", and "liuhe" appear together, official matters are bound to be obstructed; if they are on xiu, mao, or chou and enter the transmission, asking about illness will make people weep.

河魁休舊住河魁，尊長遭殃是此媒。若逢天后陰人害，戌日丑加戌上猜。戌日加戌，尊長病。戌日丑加戌同。歲臨支上人宅迍，下克之時災更深。支上鬼加主遷動，如逢白虎病傷人。太歲入宅，又克支，凶；加支，是鬼，主宅移。祿前一位為羊刃，三傳日辰忌見臨。非官即病膿血疾，加宅作虎血陰人。

The Hekui (Xu) remains in its original position; calamity to the elders originates from here. If the Heavenly Empress also appears, it indicates harm from women, which can be deduced by looking at the day branch with the hour branch added to Xu. On a Xu day with Xu added to Xu, it indicates illness among the elders; on a Xu day with Chou added to Xu, the situation is similar. If the sovereign year branch affects the branch, both the person and the house face difficulties. If the sovereign year also attacks from below to above, the disaster becomes more severe. If an official ghost is added to the branch, it mainly indicates the need to move house. If the White Tiger also appears, there will be illness and injury. If the sovereign year enters the house position and attacks the branch, it is凶; if it is added to the branch as a ghost, it indicates moving house. The previous branch of the禄神 is the Yangren; the three transmissions and the day branch should avoid having it in the same position: it is either legal troubles or blood diseases. If it is added to the house position and also acts as the White Tiger, it indicates blood disaster for women.

六合乙卯木為之，子孫凶吉憂中推。如臨申酉定悲泣，木絕鬼禍逢何疑。申酉作六合，子不利。天后三傳與日辰，天后之陰虎害人，占妻病此驗如神，假饒有救死為鄰。男子占之克妻，假令丙寅日子將辰時，戌加寅為用，占妻病，乃半月必死，後陰作虎。丑加戌土作白虎，外人喪服入家中。午加卯上子細家，託人失信事無功。寅能生火，卯能殺也。火生於寅，敗於卯。午加卯用，庚壬二子日。

The concept of Liu He is based on the wood of Yimao. The fortune of children should be judged from uncertainty and doubt; if it appears on the positions of Shen or You metal, there will certainly be sorrowful events, as wood is destroyed by metal, and ghostly calamity will come. Having Liu He on Shen or You is unfavorable for children. The Heavenly Empress located between the three transmissions and the day branch, with its hidden spirit being the White Tiger, will cause harm. When divining about a wife's illness, this method is as effective as a deity. Even if there is a saving deity, it is already close to death. A man who receives this divination will suffer from the loss of his wife. For example, if the day is Bingyin and the time is Chen, with Xu added to Yin as the initiating transmission, divining about a wife's illness indicates she will die within half a month, because the hidden spirit of the Heavenly Empress has become the White Tiger. If Chou is added to Xu earth and becomes the White Tiger, it indicates that outsiders will enter the house wearing mourning clothes. If Wu is added to Mao, one should carefully examine family affairs, as entrusting others with tasks will lead to broken promises and wasted effort. Yin can generate fire, while Mao can destroy fire. Fire is born in Yin and destroyed in Mao. When Wu is added to Mao as the initiating transmission, it refers to the two days of Gengzi and Renzi.

丑加河魁更作空，奴僕為人最叵容。加臨支上混一同，未許教君取次窮。丑加支上虎臨傳，田產交加事可占。切須僧道事干連，式中推究意精專。午加支上作螣蛇，寅日占來回祿嗟。假饒得免焚其宅，遺禍鄉鄰亂似麻。壬寅日午加寅。巳到天罡定主喪，出門或見哭彷徨。若臨干上作朱雀，定知官事與推詳。巳加辰，為孝服事，或出門途、哭泣事。乙木主喪車，巳為軫星。巳加朱雀，必占灶事。

The branch Chou added to Hekui (Xu) and falling into Kongwang indicates that the servant is hard to tolerate; if Chou is added to the branch, the situation is the same, and you must not arbitrarily conclude that he is poor. If Chou is on the branch and White Tiger enters the transmission, it indicates disputes over property; such matters often involve monks and Taoists, and careful analysis is needed on the chart. If Wu is on the branch as Teng Snake, and it is on the day of Yin, it indicates a fire disaster (Huilu); even if the house is not burned, it will cause trouble to the neighbors, creating chaos—this refers to the day Renyin with Wu added to Yin. If Si arrives at Tiangang (Chen), it definitely indicates death, and going out may involve seeing someone weeping and wandering. If Si is on the day stem and also as Zhu Que, then it should be analyzed according to official matters. If Si is added to Chen, it indicates mourning or matters of traveling and weeping. Bing wood indicates a funeral carriage, and Si is the position of Zhen star. If Si is added to Zhu Que, it definitely refers to matters concerning the kitchen.

庚辛占見蒿矢，巳加辰；癸卯日辰加卯，巳加辰，午加巳，三傳辰巳午；癸酉日遙克，未加申，巳加午，午加未，三傳未午巳。巳加卯上意何如？木履弓弩推不虛。加申作陰口舌虞，入官事訟必因朱。巳加卯，以木履弓弩推之，若巳加申作太陰，主陰人和合，中有口舌。若作雀，便言訟。巳加申相刑合，癸亥日是；辛卯、癸未日，巳加卯遙克。

On days of Geng and Xin, when the divination shows the "Hao Shi" lesson, the situation is that巳 is added to辰. On days of Gui Mao, the day branch is added to卯, then巳 is added to辰, and午 is added to巳, with the three transmissions being辰,巳, and午. On days of Gui You, it is considered a remoterestrain, with未 added to申,巳 added to午, and午 added to未, with the three transmissions being未,午, and巳. When巳 is added to卯, it can be interpreted using wooden items like sandals and bows, and it will not be empty. When巳 is added to申 and forms "Tai Yin," there will be disputes. If this leads to going to court, it is definitely caused by "Zhu Que." When巳 is added to卯, use the interpretation of sandals and bows; if巳 is added to申 and forms "Tai Yin," it indicates harmony between women, with disputes in between; if it forms "Zhu Que," it indicates litigation. When巳 is added to申, it is a刑 with a合, which occurs on days of Gui Hai. On days of Xin Mao and Gui Wei, when巳 is added to卯, it is considered a remoterestrain.

螣蛇入廟刀鐵因，翻作青龍險峻臨。申加巳上用為真，古法分明驗若神。申加巳，定占刀鐵事。若作龍，疑險事。申亥寅，六甲、六丁、六丙、庚寅、丁巳，夜蛇；壬寅、癸巳，夜龍。斗加日本名天獄，得是須知卜訟庭。會見貴人並六害，交加之事及相縈。乙日辰加亥，乙木生於亥，辰斗罡也，故知占訟。又見貴人六害，主交加牽連。

The Teng Snake entering its temple indicates matters arising from weapons made of iron; if it transforms into the Azure Dragon, it signifies affairs occurring in dangerous or rugged places. When the Sheng (申) is placed on the Si (巳) and initiates the transmission, this is the most accurate, clearly defined by ancient methods, verified as if by a divine being. When Sheng is on Si, it definitely refers to matters involving iron weapons; if it becomes the Azure Dragon, it indicates matters involving suspicion and obstacles. The three transmissions are Sheng, Hai, and Yin. On the days of Li Ji (六甲), Ding Ji (六丁), and Bing Ji (六丙), as well as on the days of Geng Yin (庚寅) and Ding Si (丁巳), if the divination is done at night and the Teng Snake appears, it indicates matters involving iron weapons. On the days of Ren Yin (壬寅) and Gui Si (癸巳), if the divination is done at night and the Azure Dragon appears, it indicates matters involving suspicion and obstacles. When the "Dou" (辰) is placed on the day branch, its name is "Heavenly Prison," and if this appears, it indicates legal disputes. If it meets the Nobleman and carries the Six Harm, it indicates mutual entanglement and interconnection. On the day of Yi (乙), when the day branch is Hai (亥), the Yi wood is born in Hai, and the辰 is the Dou罡, thus indicating legal disputes. If it meets the Nobleman and the Six Harm, it indicates matters that are interconnected and entangled.

午火臨亥死絕神，傳中丑午害同詳。若還臨在空亡上，定知虛擾不為殃。傳中丑午為六害，入空亡不為殃。午丑申，子未寅。假令今日是庚辰，太乙為用屬比鄰。辰日若用起太乙，應在未日巳時真。用傳與日是妻財，類是陰人反卦猜。更見後陰並六合，妻背夫心仔細裁。妻財類，須是陰神及反吟，作如此占。

The fire of the horse (午) is on the water pig (亥), which is a dead and declining god; the ox (丑) and the horse (午) are mutually harmful in the three transmissions, and this should be considered in the same way. If it falls on the empty void (空亡), it can be concluded that it is just a false alarm and will not cause real disaster. In the three transmissions, the ox (丑) and the horse (午) form the six harms, and if they fall on the empty void, they will not cause trouble. The three transmissions of the horse (午), ox (丑), and monkey (申), or the rat (子), goat (未), and tiger (寅), all fall into this category. If today is the day of Gengchen (庚辰), and the Taiyi (太乙) (Si) initiates the transmission, it is a nearby god; if on the day of Chen (辰) the Taiyi initiates the transmission, the predicted time should be on the day of Wei (未) at the hour of Si (巳), which is the most accurate. The initiating transmission and the three transmissions in relation to the day stem are wife and wealth; this type should be interpreted according to the female and the reversed repetition (返吟) hexagram. If the Heavenly Empress (天后), Tai Yin (太阴), and Liu He (六合) appear together, one should carefully judge the wife's intention of leaving her husband. The category of wife and wealth must be a yin god and a reversed repetition (返吟) lesson in order to make such a divination.

大凡遠近日何占，用占月內歲尋常。傳神旬裡不虛言，直日無疑應日前。如太歲在寅，發用在寅，則在年內；用起斗建，則應在月內；用起日干，不出旬；用起支神，不出一日。奴是天魁與天空，從魁為婢太陰同。妾求天乙若臨從，分明花葯作儀容。壬癸終於艮卦中，事若浮雲豈有蹤？甲慚乙尤怕到離宮，花隨流水去匆匆。絕神，木到午死，水到艮病。

In general, how to determine the nearness or distance of an event? Look at the initiating transmission (发用) and see which layer it belongs to: if it belongs to the year stem (太岁), the event should occur within a year; if it belongs to the month builder (月建), the event should occur within a month. If the three transmissions (三传) fall within the current ten-day period (旬), the event will occur within that same ten-day period, and this is not false. If the day stem (日干) is the initiating transmission, the event should occur before the day, and there is no need to doubt it. For example, if the year stem is in the position of寅 and the initiating transmission is also in寅, the event should occur within the current year; if the initiating transmission starts from the month builder (斗建), the event should occur within the current month; if the initiating transmission starts from the day stem, it will not go beyond the current ten-day period; if the initiating transmission starts from the branch god (支神), it will not go beyond the current day. For servants, look at 'Hekui' (戌) and 'Tiankong'; for maids, look at 'Congkui' (酉) and 'Taiyin'; for seeking a concubine, look at 'Tianyi Nobleman'. If the nobleman is located at 'Congkui', the woman is clearly beautiful and well-mannered. The water of壬 and癸 ends at the mountain (艮) position (丑寅), and the matter is like floating clouds, with no trace. The wood of甲 and乙 is most afraid of reaching the fire palace (离) position (午), which is like flowers flowing with the water, leaving quickly. The position of the dying god (绝神): wood reaches午 and dies, water reaches艮 and becomes ill.

戊己怕逢曲直鄉，木旺逢侵忌有殃。庚辛炎上不商量，火忌水神有所妨。鬼三合，戊己土知木局，為鬼旺，庚辛日炎上，不利。丙丁龍合散人財，勾陳辰神主官災。白虎魁罡巳午來，中人孝服事堪猜。神將自戰，龍合屬木，丙丁見之，為火出木盡灰煙。勾陳土加卯不得地，魁罡加巳午主孝服。

On days of Wu and Ji, the most feared is encountering the "Qu Zhí" wood formation, as the strong wood energy invades and overpowers the earth, leading to disasters. On days of Geng and Xin, encountering the "Yán Shàng" fire formation is even more dangerous, as fire overpowers metal, and water spirits interfering is also to be avoided. This is the official ghost triple harmony formation: Wu and Ji belong to earth, and encountering the wood formation signifies the ghost's strength; on days of Geng and Xin, encountering the fire formation is also unfavorable. On days of Bing and Ding, encountering "Qīng Lóng" and "Liù Hé" indicates loss of wealth; "Gōu Chén" falling on the Chen position signifies disasters from government authorities; "Bái Hǔ" combined with "Hé Kuí" and "Tiān Gāng" (Xu and Chen) falling on Si and Wu positions indicates the need for mourning clothes, such events can be inferred. This is the situation of divine generals fighting among themselves: Qīng Lóng and Liù Hé belong to wood, and Bing and Ding fire encountering them results in fire emerging from wood, leading to wood turning into smoke and ash; Gōu Chén belongs to earth, and when placed on the卯 position, it is not favorable; Hé Kuí and Tiān Gāng placed on Si and Wu positions indicate mourning clothes.

進策干謁到侯門，日辰年上貴人存。龍合入傳喜氣津，蛇虎加之必避奔。須是貴加日辰行年，龍合入傳，主貴人見喜。蛇虎不出現，縱見亦不喜。子午返吟移床房，己巳元武灶兩廂。天空加巳灶破損，此言應驗不尋常。己巳日返吟，夜將得元武，主兩處有灶。亥日辰加亥用真，退人進口豈僉音？天門在亥天關辰，此法從來不易深。

When presenting strategies and essays to seek an audience with princes and dukes, the day branch and the year branch should have the Nobleman. If the Azure Dragon and Liu He are in the transmission, it brings joy and auspiciousness; if the Teng Snake and White Tiger are present, one must definitely avoid activity. The Nobleman must be on the day branch and the year branch, with the Azure Dragon and Liu He in the transmission, indicating the appearance of a Nobleman and joy. The presence of Teng Snake and White Tiger is not desirable, even if they appear, it is not favorable. A return of Zi and Wu indicates moving beds and rooms. On Jisi day, if the Black Tortoise appears, it indicates two kitchens. If Tian Kong is on Si, the kitchen will be damaged, and this prediction is remarkably accurate. On Jisi day with a return, if the Black Tortoise appears at night, it indicates two kitchens. On Hai day, the most authentic transmission is when Chen is added to Hai, indicating the departure of old people and the arrival of new ones. This is not a casual statement. The Heaven Gate is at Hai, and the Heaven Gate is at Chen, this method has never been easily explained thoroughly.

體得無淫六害隨，娼家婦女不須疑。酉日落空亡酉地，寡婦元來極易詳。如甲戌旬，以申酉為空亡。旺鬼占官屬禁囚，相妻爭貸死傷憂。囚主訟刑休病愁，此法從來不易求。春木旺、火相、土死、金囚、水休。如戊己日占得木神動，主官事。若傳入三光、三陽等課，不得一例斷之為官事也。壬癸日占得用起火神準的，若不是妻財，不得一例斷之。

The lesson pattern is "no lust" and follows the six harms, indicating a prostitute woman, so there is no need to doubt; when the day of You falls in the empty place of You, it is very easy to determine that she is a widow. For example, in the Jiaxu decade, the empty places are Shen and You. A strong official ghost indicates imprisonment in matters of official positions; the phase of wife wealth indicates disputes and borrowing; death qi indicates injury and sorrow; imprisonment qi indicates lawsuits and punishment; rest qi indicates illness and worry—this method has never been easy to obtain. In spring, wood is strong, fire is in phase, earth is in death, metal is in imprisonment, and water is in rest. For example, if the wood deity is activated on a Wu or Ji day, it indicates official matters; but if the three transmissions form good patterns such as "three lights" or "three yang," it cannot be generally considered as official matters. If the fire deity is activated on a Ren or Gui day, it is most accurate; but if it is not wife wealth, it cannot be generally considered as such.

龍為玄武乘牛背，加在日神為用辰。來情定是占走失，甲戊庚戌日為真。辰加丑見元武，如今日支干，又是發用。若是甲戊庚三戌日得此課，定占走失。辰加酉上作青龍，刺腿之人必是傭。辰還加亥作玄武，貴失終須是敗蹤。刺龍指腿上之人。玄武在亥盜難追，在戌須關入墓迷。若帶空亡敗可期，帶馬他鄉定捕之。

The Azure Dragon transforms into the Black Tortoise and rides on the ox (Chou), with the Dragon added to the Sun God, initiating transmission at the hour of Chen. The person asking the question is definitely inquiring about a lost item. This is most accurate on the days of Jiaxu, Wuxu, and Gengxu. Chen added to Chou with the Black Tortoise matches the current branch and stem, and it is the initiating transmission; if this lesson appears on the days of Jiaxu, Wuxu, and Gengxu, it definitely concerns a lost item. If Chen is added to You with the Azure Dragon, the person must be a laborer with a tattoo of a dragon on their leg. If Chen is added to Hai with the Black Tortoise, a valuable item is lost and will ultimately be lost without trace. The term 'tattooed dragon' refers to someone with a dragon pattern tattooed on their leg. When the Black Tortoise is in Hai, thieves are hard to track. When it is in Xu, the thief is imprisoned and lost. If it is accompanied by Kongwang, the theft will be exposed. If it is accompanied by the Post-horse, although the thief may flee to another place, they can still be captured.

或臨羊刃主殘傷，大煞主財落空亡。帶死不過三日敗，生氣出月見其贓。元武臨羊刃主傷，大殺主失。物初主末賊居中，初克中傳贓露蹤。末克其中囚首捕，中來克末反遭凶。中來克末，盜傷捕人、害主故也。元乘二馬不辭危，跨屋逾垣捷似飛。地戶水窗穿竅入，天門樓閣逐繩歸。地戶，坎宮也，玄乘地戶，必從水地道來。乘天門，必自天梯繩來。

When the Black Tortoise is accompanied by the Yangren, the owner will suffer injuries; if it encounters the Great Sha, wealth will be lost to Kongwang. Those with Death Qi will have thieves exposed within three days; those with Life Qi will only see the stolen goods after the month. The Black Tortoise accompanied by Yangren indicates harm to others, and the Great Sha indicates loss of wealth. The first transmission represents lost property, the final transmission represents the owner, and the thief is located in the middle transmission: if the first transmission overcomes the middle transmission, the stolen goods will be traced; if the final transmission overcomes the middle transmission, the thief will be captured; if the middle transmission overcomes the final transmission, the captor will face danger. The middle transmission overcoming the final transmission is because the thief injured the captor and harmed the owner. The Black Tortoise rides on the Heavenly Horse and the Post-horse, not avoiding danger, climbing over walls and roofs with agility; it enters through the ground gate and water window by digging holes, and returns through the heavenly gate and buildings by climbing ropes. The ground gate is the Kan palace; if the Black Tortoise rides the ground gate, it must enter through water or underground passages; if it rides the heavenly gate, it must ascend through the heavenly ladder and ropes.

玄武天門二馬馳，長繩之煞就中推，何必逾牆鑿壁回？天窗懸煞入無疑。長繩殺，正酉順四仲，周而復始。用起三交羅網同，關隔相併路難通，三者數逢盜易窮，空亡劫反失前功。天羅地網卦，易敗；空亡，便執捕，亦遠遁不獲。

The Black Tortoise is positioned at the Heavenly Gate, with two horses galloping swiftly; one should refer to the "Long Rope煞" to determine the situation. Why bother discussing the thief breaking through walls and digging through walls? It is certain that the thief entered through the sky window by hanging a rope, without any doubt. The Long Rope煞: in the first month it is in酉, proceeding in the order of 子, 午, 卯, 酉, the four central branches, cycling continuously. The Initiating Transmission begins at "Three Intersections," which is the same as the "Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap." When both are present, the passage is blocked and the road is difficult to traverse; if these three appear repeatedly, thieves are easily pursued and caught. However, if they meet Kongwang or Jiesha, the previous efforts are in vain. The卦 of Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap indicates that thieves are easily exposed; if it falls on Kongwang, even if they go to capture the thief, the thief will escape far away and not be caught.

勾陳一神忌落空，捕人百計不成功。若非怯懦賞不克，盜棄旺氣難當鋒。要勾陳有氣。若在空亡，非捕人力不能敵，即賞錢不克其意，不宜勾前。元武旺又得地，則難捕。春占甲乙木為武臨寅卯，得也；臨申酉，失也。

The deity Gou Chen is most忌 to fall into Kongwang. If Gou Chen falls into Kongwang, no matter how hard the officers try, they will not succeed in capturing the criminal. It is not because the officers are timid, but because the reward offered does not satisfy Gou Chen's desire. If the thief is determined and in a strong position, it will be difficult to capture him. Therefore, Gou Chen must have strength. If Gou Chen is in Kongwang, either the officers' strength is insufficient or the reward is not to Gou Chen's liking, and it is not advisable to take action before Gou Chen. When Yuan Wu is strong and in a favorable position, the thief will be difficult to capture. If in spring, the divination shows Jia or Yi wood as Yuan Wu and it is located in寅 or卯, the thief can be captured; but if it is located in申 or酉, the thief cannot be caught.
