On the Jisi day, Ninth Configuration: Heavenly Stem over You.

課體：涉害，從革，察微，泆女。課義：傳生空亥，索還魂債，晝貴加貴，夜貴深怪。解曰：己干為支上酉金所脫，復自支上傳出金局，以生干上之亥水。原酉金本來脫我，我挾亥水反去脫酉，不惟不損，翻有所益。亥為空財，於己無益。今得酉金一生，便是實財，故曰索還魂債。又晝貴臨子夜貴之上，必是貴人往貴人之家。干謁必涉兩貴。夜貴入獄，疑有深怪之事。

The lesson pattern has four categories: "Shehai" (Involvement of Harm), "Congge" (Metallurgical), where the three transmissions Si, You, and Chou form a metal trinity; "Chawei" (Observation of Subtleties), where the matter is subtle and needs careful examination to be seen; and "Yunü" (Fornicating Woman), indicating a woman who is unchaste and runs away with a man. The lesson meaning says: the three transmissions generate a fallen water of Hai, which is like reclaiming a dead debt; the nobleman of the day is also placed upon the nobleman, while the nobleman of the night falls into the prison position, indicating something strange within the matter. The explanation says: the己 earth is drained by the酉 gold on the day branch, and the day branch also transmits the Si, You, and Chou metal trinity, which in turn generates the亥 water on the day stem. Originally, the酉 gold drained my energy, but now I use the亥 water to drain the酉 gold, not only without loss, but actually gaining benefit. The亥 water is originally a fallen treasure, which is of no use to己 earth; now it is supported by the酉 gold, turning the empty treasure into a real one, hence it is said to be reclaiming a debt from the underworld. Moreover, the nobleman of the day is located at the position of the nobleman of the night, indicating that one nobleman goes to the house of another nobleman to request something, inevitably involving two noblemen. The nobleman of the night is in the prison position, suggesting there is something strange and unspoken within the matter.

斷曰：見機之卦，復傳從革。凡事更變，先難後易。子孫爻現，必憂官職。若財爻再現，則仕宦大利。惟不利病訟耳。天時：六陰相繼，先風後雨。家宅：財氣甚薄，生息頗蕃，有成有敗，先困後饒。功名：剝官煞重，未見全美。求財：得失相等。

The divination indicates a卦 of discerning opportunity, with the three transmissions forming a complete circle of metal (from-reform metal). In all matters, there will be a need for change and transformation, beginning with difficulty and ending with ease. In the hexagram, the official's son爻 appears, indicating that officials will be anxious about their positions; if the wealth爻 also appears, it will be highly beneficial for officialdom, though it is unfavorable for matters concerning illness and lawsuits. As for the weather: the six spirits indicated by the hexagram and transmissions are all yin, connected in sequence, beginning with wind and followed by rain. For the household: the wealth energy is weak, but the population is still growing, with both success and failure, starting with hardship and later becoming prosperous. Regarding official rank: theInauspicious Sha that deprives the official star is too strong, so it is not entirely favorable. In seeking wealth: the gains and losses are roughly balanced.

婚姻：泆女從革，占婚不吉。疾病：虛怯之症，賴有良醫，病雖不增，患不脫體。出行：虛耗無馬，不能動移。謁貴：晝貴他往，夜貴入獄，俱難相見。行人：天罡加孟，未能即至。出師：利主不利客，軍需不足，可取資於敵。

Marriage: Being both a promiscuous woman and one who is subject to change, the prediction for marriage is unfavorable. Disease: It belongs to a condition of weakness and deficiency, fortunately there is a good doctor to treat it, the illness may not worsen again, but the root of the disease remains. Travel: It is a mere waste with no post-horse available, so departure is not possible. Seeking the nobleman: The nobleman of the day has already gone elsewhere, and the nobleman of the night is in a prison position, so neither can be seen. A traveler: The Tiangang (Chen) is placed on the four young positions of寅, 申, 巳, and 亥, so the person will not arrive soon. Military campaign: It is favorable for the main army but not for the guest army, the military supplies and provisions are insufficient, so they should be obtained from the enemy's side.

畢法云：后合占婚豈用媒，傳墓入墓分憎愛，合中犯殺蜜中砒。心鏡云：定知四處財爻現，官遷訟罪病難痊。課經云：己巳日，子加申為胎坐長生格。占孕最吉，占產最凶。以子戀母腹，難產故也。

The "Bifa Fu" says: "Heavenly Empress" (governs women and private matters) and "Liu He" (governs marriage, trade, and harmony) appearing together indicate a marriage fortune, where the two parties will naturally come together without the need for a matchmaker; if the three transmissions fall into a墓 (grave) and enter a墓, one must distinguish whether it is something loathsome or something endearing; ifInauspicious Sha (malevolent stars) are interwoven among the triple harmony and Liu He, it is like砒霜 (arsenic) added to honey. The "Xingjing" says: if wealth signs appear in all four directions, officials may expect promotion, those involved in litigation will face punishment, and the sick will find it difficult to recover. The "Ke Jing" says: on the day of Jisi, with the day stem added to Shen, it forms the "Tai Zuo Changsheng" pattern, which is most auspicious for predicting pregnancy but most inauspicious for predicting childbirth, because the fetus clings to the mother's womb and refuses to come out, leading to difficult labor.

課體：重審，元胎，斬關，勵德。課義：長生財德，三事無力，晝夜推之，兩貴蹉跌。解曰：申乃己土長生，臨巳受刑。巳又為金生之地，未免戀生不能舍去。中傳亥財值旬空，末傳寅德又陷空，三事無力矣。子加酉，晝貴臨於夜地。申加巳，夜貴臨於晝方。若占告貴，事不歸一，所謂尖擔兩頭脫者是也。貴人若順，告貴無阻，則宜進步。貴人若逆，告貴不允，則宜退步。貴在干前，事不宜迫，迫則必為貴所怒。貴在干後，事則宜催，不催則彼必緩慢無力矣。

The lesson pattern combines four types: when the four lessons are all under one god that is below and the god above is taken for initiating transmission, it is called re-examination. When the three transmissions mutually generate and the matter begins anew, it is called original embryo. When the transmission and lesson meet the Tiangang and Hekui, and can overcome difficulties, it is called cutting the gate. When the nobleman is at the卯 position, it is called cultivating virtue. The lesson meaning says: growth, wife's wealth, and day stem's virtue, these three things are all ineffective. Both day nobleman and night nobleman are arranged, but they both pass by each other. Explanation says: the申 is the growth place of己 earth, but it is on the巳 which is under punishment; the巳 is the growth place of metal, and the申 is greedy for the growth place and refuses to leave. The middle transmission is亥, which is the wealth trigram but is exactly in the empty period. The final transmission is寅, which is the day virtue but is in the empty period. Thus, growth, wealth, and virtue are all ineffective. The heaven plate子 is added to the earth plate酉, which is the day nobleman on the night nobleman's position. The heaven plate申 is added to the earth plate巳, which is the night nobleman on the day nobleman's position. If one seeks help from the nobleman, the matter will not be clear, which is exactly what the common saying says: a flat pole with both ends loose. If the nobleman moves in the right direction, seeking help will not be blocked, and one should move forward. If the nobleman moves in the wrong direction, seeking help will not be approved, and one should step back. If the nobleman is before the day stem, the matter should not be hurried, as hurrying will anger the nobleman. If the nobleman is after the day stem, the matter should be urged, as not urging will result in delay and weakness.

斷曰：重審之課，忠孝為先。元胎之傳，受生為上。君子循理，遇此無傷。小人肆孟，必致悖亂。且支干互脫，三傳又脫，虛詐誑騙，無有窮盡。占者得此，必須步步留心，方能脫患。

The divination indicates that this lesson emphasizes loyalty and filial piety above all. The transmission of the original embryo focuses on the importance of being able to give birth and nurture. A virtuous person acts according to reason and will not suffer harm when encountering this lesson; a petty person indulges in personal desires and will inevitably lead to rebellion and confusion. Moreover, the day stem and day branch mutually weaken each other, and the three transmissions form a continuous pattern of depletion, leading to endless deceit and falsehood. Those who receive this lesson must be cautious at every step in order to escape misfortune.

天時：水母被刑，天罡指陰，自然滂沛。家宅：不甚安寧，不利子息。功名：官星落空，填實有望。求財：虛耗百出，得亦終失。婚姻：支干交脫，彼此虛耗。胎產：夜占男妊，貴而易產。官訟：無傷。出行：水路宜行。疾病：空墓臨干，老少不吉。逃亡：近水處問信。行人：天罡臨季，出旬自至。出師：營壘宜固。

Heavenly conditions: The mother of water is harmed, and the Tiangang (Chen) points to a yin position, naturally leading to heavy rain. Home: Not very peaceful, unfavorable for descendants. Career: The official star is in an empty position, one must wait until the year and month when it is filled to have hope. Seeking wealth: Expenses are wasted continuously, even if one gains it, it will eventually be lost. Marriage: The day stem and day branch mutually drain each other, leading to mutual loss between the two families. Pregnancy: Divination at night indicates a male fetus, which is auspicious and favorable for life. Lawsuits: No injury will occur. Travel: It is suitable to travel by water. Illness: The empty position and the tomb god both affect the day stem, which is inauspicious for the elderly and children. Fugitive: Go to places near water to inquire. Traveler: The Tiangang (Chen) is located at the four seasonal positions of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, so the person will naturally arrive after this cycle. Military campaign: The camp should be set firmly.

畢法云：貴人蹉跌事參差，空上逢空事莫追。課經云：己巳日申加巳，生中傳之亥水。中傳亥水，又生末傳之寅木。寅木反剋日干之己土，是恩變為仇，名恩多怨深格。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When the Nobleman appears in a different position, things become inconsistent; if Kongwang is encountered again on top of Kongwang, there is no need to pursue the matter further. The "Ke Jing" says: On the Jisi day, the Shen is placed over the Si, the Shen generates the亥 water in the Middle Transmission, the亥 water in the Middle Transmission generates the寅 wood in the Final Transmission, but the寅 wood turns back to overcome the day stem Ji soil. This is when favor turns into resentment, known as the "En Du Yan Shen" pattern.

課體：間傳，彈射，不備，寡宿，進退。課義：彈射亡丸，勿干貴官，降志求生，夜丑須看。解曰：日遙克亥神而逢空，是彈射而無丸，喻求財無所得而反有所費也。子為晝貴，臨戌入獄。申為夜貴，臨午被克。貴人自顧不暇，干之何益。未被酉脫，遂往就於己以求生，有舍己從人之象，故曰降志求生，又曰逃生避難。夜丑須看者，以丑為遁鬼，夜乘白虎，不可不防也。

The five types of lesson patterns are: 'Intermittent Transmission', where the three transmissions are spaced apart and the matter is complicated; 'Projectile', where the four lessons are not in conflict, and the day stem remotely controls a certain deity, like shooting an object with a projectile; 'Incomplete', where the four lessons are not complete and only three are formed; 'Gusu', indicating loneliness and lack of support; and 'Forward and Backward', where the matter is uncertain and fluctuating. The lesson meaning says: if there is a projectile but no projectile, do not seek the noble official; instead, lower your aspirations and find another way, especially being cautious about the evil deity at the hour of Chou. The explanation says: the day stem remotely controls the亥 deity, and the亥 is exactly in the empty position of the ten-day cycle, which is like wanting to shoot but having no projectile, symbolizing that seeking wealth not only fails to obtain it but also results in a loss. The son is the daytime noble person, but it is located on the戌 and is in prison; the申 is the night noble person, but it is located on the午 and is being controlled. The noble person himself cannot even take care of himself, so seeking him is useless. Since it is not released by the酉 metal, it turns to rely on the己 soil for sustenance, showing a tendency to abandon oneself and submit to others, hence it is called lowering one's aspirations to survive, also called escaping danger. The reason for paying attention to the evil deity at night is that the heavenly stem hidden at the Chou position has transformed into an official ghost, and since it is a night divination, it is also accompanied by the White Tiger, which must be guarded against.

斷曰：彈射之卦，事多不實，禍福俱輕，有志惑心疑，進少退多之象，且財爻落空。夜占元武發用，定主失脫。且干上之酉，乃己土之敗氣，又為支之破碎，晝占乘合，家中必有破敗之子，緣酉為己土子孫。倘夜占乘後，必為婢妾所破也。

The divination says: The hexagram indicates a situation that is mostly not genuine, with both misfortune and fortune being light. It shows a state of having aspirations yet being doubtful, advancing little and retreating much. Moreover, the wealth爻 falls on Kongwang, indicating emptiness. If the divination is done at night with Yuanwu as the initiating transmission, it certainly indicates loss or theft. Furthermore, the day stem's酉 is the declining phase of Ji earth, and also the broken god of the day branch. If divined during the day with it riding on Liuhe, there must be a son who brings about family decline, since酉 is precisely the son爻 of Ji earth. If divined at night with it riding on Tianhou, it must be that the family is ruined by servants or concubines.

天時：課傳六陰，晝占酉乘六合，陰雲之象。家宅：支干各乘破敗，財空鬼實，官災失脫難免。求名：簾幕不現，干支破敗，縱求無益。求財：須防失脫。婚姻：女占稍利，男卜不吉。

Heavenly circumstances: The divination and transmission are all governed by Yin spirits. During the day, the divination is on You (the Hourly Branch) and is accompanied by Liu He, indicating a scene of heavy clouds and Yin energy. Family affairs: Both the Day Stem and Day Branch are governed by broken spirits. The wealth hexagram is empty while the ghost hexagram is real, so legal troubles and loss are inevitable. Seeking fame: The nobleman is not present behind the curtain, and both the stem and branch are broken, so even if one goes to seek help, there will be no benefit. Seeking wealth: One must be cautious of being deceived. Marriage: Divination for the woman is slightly favorable, but divination for the man is not auspicious.

胎產：孕主滿胎，育子不肖。疾病：良醫雖有，破耗無已。行人：天罡乘孟，行者未發。出行：陸路有損，水路防失。遺失：元武發用，日上酉金，又作空亡，竊資遠遁，恐不能獲。出師：敵詐不實，防有虛驚。

Conception and birth: The child is carried to full term and is well-developed, but the son raised will not be capable. Illness: Although a good doctor can be found, there will be continuous loss of wealth. Travelers: The Tiangang (Chen) is in the position of the four beginning months, so those who are about to leave have not yet departed. Travel: Traveling by land will result in loss, while traveling by water requires caution against losing belongings. Lost items: The Black Tortoise initiates the transmission, and the酉 metal on the day stem falls into the empty position. The thief has taken the goods and fled far away, and it is likely that they cannot be recovered. Military campaign: The enemy is deceptive and not genuine, and one should be cautious of a false alarm.

畢法云：兩貴受克難干貴，虎乘遁鬼殃非淺；避難逃生須棄舊，干支皆敗勢傾頹。玉成歌云：事占知一興雲近，遙克當傳主遠尋。

The *Bifa Fu* says: If both the nobleman in the day and night positions are restrained, it is difficult to seek help from the nobleman; if the white tiger is riding on the hidden stem transformed into the official ghost, the calamity will be severe; to escape danger and survive, one must abandon everything they have; if both the day stem and day branch are in a state of decline, their strength will inevitably weaken. The *Yucheng Ge* says: When a matter encounters the lesson of knowing one, it is like clouds about to form, and the result will be near; if the matter encounters the use of distant restraint, the outcome will be far away.

課體：昴星，龍德，天羅，虎視，掩目。課義：辰之陰神，及夫課名，三傳並見，五虎縱橫。解曰：未作辰陰，上乘白虎一也。課名虎視二也。中為白虎之本家，兩見於傳中，一見於干上，共成五虎。一課五虎，凶惡極矣，晝占則的；夜占則未作螣蛇，凶亦不殺。

There are five types of lesson patterns: "昴星", which refers to a situation where the four lessons have neither mutual overcoming nor remote overcoming; on a yang day, the god at the earthly branch You is used as the initiating transmission, while on a yin day, the god at the heavenly branch You is used as the initiating transmission; "龙德", which means the sovereign is present at the initiating transmission and the daytime noble is in authority, indicating a presence of benevolence; "天罗", which means being caught in a net, unable to escape from difficulties; "虎视", which is another name for "昴星" on a yang day, with the full name being "虎视转蓬"; and "掩目", which is another name for "昴星" on a yin day, meaning "Winter Snake covering its eyes". The lesson meaning says: the hidden god of the day branch Chen, together with the name of the lesson, all appear in the three transmissions, forming a total of five white tigers intersecting. The explanation says: Wei is the hidden god of Chen, with a white tiger above it, which is the first; the name of the lesson is "虎视", which is the second; Shen is the original position of the white tiger, appearing twice in the three transmissions and once on the day stem, totaling five white tigers. In one lesson, five white tigers appear together, indicating extreme misfortune, which is most accurate when divining during the day; when divining at night, the white tiger above Wei is "螣蛇", which signifies fear, strange occurrences, and firelight, making the ominous trend less intense.

斷曰：課名冬蛇掩目，不動不變，有伏匿之象。支干陰神又作天羅地網，遇患不能避，遭難不能逃。惟利占功名官祿之事，以傳見二貴一祿，晝貴又登天門故也。天時：不動不變。家宅：仕人占之有非常之喜，庶人占之有非常之禍。功名：必得官祿，但非正印，以權攝不正之故。求財：遁壬逢生，暗財必豐。婚姻：午作日祿，妝奩必厚。

The divination says: The name of the lesson is "Winter Snake Covering the Eyes," which is unchanging and unmoving, showing a hidden and concealed appearance. The hidden spirits of the day stem and day branch form a heaven and earth net, encountering misfortune that cannot be avoided and disaster that cannot be escaped. However, matters concerning official rank and fame are beneficial, because among the three transmissions there are two noblemen and one day's wealth, and the day's nobleman is at the heavenly gate position of亥. The weather: heaven and earth are unmoving, so the sky shows no change. The family residence: officials who divinate will have great good fortune, while common people will have great misfortune. Official rank: one will certainly gain official position and wealth, but the gain is not a real official position, because it is a temporary appointment and the status is not proper. Seeking wealth: the hidden stem of壬water meets generation and support, so hidden wealth will certainly be abundant. Marriage:午is the day's wealth, so the bride's dowry will certainly be abundant.

胎產：女子之祥。尋訪：不動不變，無蹤無跡。捕獲：元武在羅網之中，獲之最易。疾病：虎視逢虎，不比泛常，總不見鬼，虎脫難當。出行：水路頗佳，恐不能行。行人：罡加於卯，道路甚遙，不久自歸。出師：午火制申金，利主不利客。

Talented birth: This is a good omen for giving birth to a daughter. Seeking someone: Human affairs remain unchanged, and the person being sought is nowhere to be found. Capture: The Black Tortoise is caught in the net itself, making it easy to capture. Illness: When the lesson of the White Tiger coincides with the White Tiger, it cannot be treated as a common illness; fortunately, the lesson does not show the official ghost throughout, and the White Tiger is free from ghostly influence, so it will not cause harm. Travel: Traveling by water is favorable, but it is feared that the journey may not even take place. Traveler: The Tiangang Chen is placed on the卯, indicating a long journey, but the person will return soon. Military campaign: The fire of午 overcomes the metal of申, which is favorable for the main army but not for the opposing army.

畢法云：權攝不正祿臨支，所謀多拙逢羅網，虎視逢虎力難施。課經云：六己日申加未，晝將乘太常臨於日干者，必主占婚姻之事，緣太常與口之長生相併故也。古鑑：亥將戌時占逃亡，賢人在東北，緣己德在寅，寅臨於丑。小人則在西南，緣巳刑申，申臨於未。申七未八，七八五十六里。遁得壬申辛未，壬六辛七，共十三，計六十九里。

The *Bifa Fu* says: When the day stem's禄 (favorable position) is located on the day branch, the person will certainly hold a position of authority but only temporarily, and the position will not be legitimate; the matters they plan to do will mostly be clumsy, because they have encountered a net. When the lesson is of the "White Tiger" type and the White Tiger also appears, even if one has strength, it cannot be fully utilized. The *Kejing* says: For any day with the stem Ji, if Shen is placed on Wei during the day, and the day stem is occupied by Tai Chang (which governs banquets, clothing, food, and wealth), then the matter being divined is certainly about marriage, because Tai Chang and the day stem's long life are both in the same position. The *Gujian* records an example: Using the亥 (Boar) general and the戌 (Dog) hour to divinate a missing person, the judgment states that a virtuous person is in the Northeast, because the day stem Ji's virtue is in寅 (Rat), and寅 is located in the position of丑 (Ox); while a petty person is in the Southwest, because巳 (Snake) is in conflict with申 (Monkey), and申 is located in the position of未 (Sheep). The number of申 is seven, and the number of未 is eight, seven multiplied by eight gives fifty-six li; then using the method of concealment, we getRenshen (Ren Shen) andXinwei (Xin Wei). The number of壬 is six, and the number of辛 is seven, totaling thirteen, so altogether it is sixty-nine li.

課體：伏吟，元胎，自任。課義：晝德乘虎，中財休取，獻納尤宜，不利商賈。解曰：申乃德祿，晝占乘虎，不可守也。中傳之寅乘蛇作財，已不可取，而況寅上又乘遁鬼乎。末傳巳火又來傷干，守之無益，動必大傷。不如靜守驚危之德祿，還可以聊生也。庚午伏吟，干支拱定夜貴人。若年命在內，大宜告貴用事，得以成就，拱日祿亦然。

There are three types of lesson patterns: "Hidden Chant" (伏吟), where the branches of the Heaven Plate and Earth Plate are the same, and all matters are concealed and inactive; "Original Embryo" (元胎); and "Self-Responsibility" (自任), which is the method of using a Hidden Chant lesson on a Yang day, where all matters can only be handled by oneself. The lesson interpretation says: during the day, the day stem is occupied by the White Tiger, and the wealth hexagram in the middle transmission should not be taken. This lesson is suitable for presenting offerings and tribute, but not for business transactions. The explanation says: the branch of Shen is both the day stem's virtue and its official salary, but during the day it is occupied by the White Tiger, so it cannot be held. The wealth hexagram in the middle transmission,寅, is occupied by the Teng Snake and is considered as a wife's wealth, which is already not suitable to take, and even worse, the branch of寅 is also occupied by the hidden stem transformed into the official ghost. The final transmission,巳 fire, comes again to injure and overcome the day stem. Holding on brings no benefit, and any movement will cause great harm. It is better to remain quiet and hold on to this virtue and salary, which although has some danger, is still one's own, and can be勉强 endured. For the Hidden Chant lesson on Gengwu day, the day stem and day branch are exactly in the position of the night nobleman. If the person's age and birth year are exactly within this position, it is most suitable to seek help from the nobleman, and the matter will certainly succeed. The principle of the day salary being enclosed is the same.

斷曰：自任之卦，元胎為用，旺相則吉，休囚則凶。惟宜守己待時，不宜妄動。如有必不得已而動，則又有功。天時：占晴不晴，占雨不雨。功名：晝占利於武職，或有節鉞之任。求財：遲得，不可貪多。家宅：優遊靜守，不宜躁動；若強出頭，必有禍患。婚姻：夜占性躁，恐有刑傷。

The divination says: When the hexagram indicates self-reliance, it should be initiated from the original state. If it meets the prosperous and strong energy, it will be auspicious; if it meets the weak and confined energy, it will be inauspicious. One should only remain steadfast and wait for the right opportunity, and not act rashly. If one must act due to unavoidable circumstances, then acting may still bring some success. Weather: If one asks for clear weather, it will not clear; if one asks for rain, it will not rain. Career: Divination during the day is favorable for military positions, possibly leading to a position of holding the flag and spear, or being entrusted with a major responsibility. Wealth: Gaining wealth will be slow, and one should not be greedy. Home: It is suitable to remain calm and quiet, and not to act hastily or recklessly; if one insists on showing off, there will be misfortune. Marriage: If divined at night, the person is impetuous, and there may be injuries or punishments.

胎產：雙生男喜。官訟：防有刑責，和解則吉。出行：馬已動矣，陸行甚利。行人：近者即刻可到。遺失：在家中舊地再尋。捕獲：尚在本境。疾病：肺家受病，巳午日防增病。出兵：晝占不勝，夜占稍吉。

Childbirth: Indicates the birth of a pair of boys, which is a good omen. Legal disputes: Be cautious of legal punishment; if a reconciliation is possible, it will be auspicious. Travel: The post-horse has already been mobilized, and traveling by land is favorable. Travelers: Those who live nearby will arrive immediately. Lost items: Look again in the original place where things were kept. Capture: The person is still within the local area. Illness: The illness is in the lung meridian; be cautious of worsening symptoms on the day of Si and Wu. Military campaign: If the divination is done during the day, victory is unlikely; if done at night, it is somewhat better.

畢法云：旺祿臨身徒妄作，任信丁馬須言動。庚午伏吟子作虎，沖支上午，為獅獸沖宅，必有對鄰獸頭沖其本家，或道路上有獅子沖宅，以致家道衰替。如對鄰陷於空亡，便不足畏也。丑加丑，亦謂之兩貴夾。

The *Bifa Fu* says: When a strong禄神 is present at the self, it is merely a waste of effort and a reckless move; only when the lesson includes a reliable Ding神 and a Post-horse can it be said that there will be action. In aHidden Chant lesson on a Gengwu day, the子 position is occupied by White Tiger, which goes to冲 the day branch午, forming the image of a lion and beast attacking the house. This indicates that there is a beast's head facing the house directly across the street, or a stone lion facing the house on the road, leading to a gradual decline of the family fortune. If the neighbor across the street happens to fall under Kongwang, then there is no need to be afraid. When Chou is added to Chou, it is also called two noble ones enclosing each other.

課體：遙克，逆茹，蒿矢。課義：交關且爾，可疑蒿矢，蛇雀空逢，五火焚燬。解曰：午未申巳交互相合，然以未合年而悔，以申合巳而疑，則雖交車相合，而尚多不足之處也。午火傷庚，其力雖微，而三傳引入鬼鄉，三傳俱火，夜占又逢蛇雀，五火齊發，庚金焉能免其焚燬哉。折蒿為矢，力弱難傷，緩而且輕。然引入鬼鄉全是火局，則微金受爍矣。惟仕宦占之，則官星雖旺，賴干上未土化煞生身，方為官文全美。晝占簾幕貴人臨干，占試事必雋。

There are three types of lesson patterns: 'Remote Control', where neither the upper nor lower of the four lessons are mutually controlling, and instead a distant god is used as the initiating transmission; 'Reverse Eating', where the three transmissions follow the reverse order and connect in a backward sequence, like pulling out the roots of a weed; 'Arrow of Rushes', where in the case of remote control, an external god controls the day stem, like an arrow made of rush reeds, which has weak power and causes light harm. The lesson meaning says: although the meeting of the chariot and the combination are not much different, the lesson of 'Arrow of Rushes' is questionable; when divining at night and encountering Teng Snake and Vermilion Bird, the five fires all erupt together, burning up the metal of the day stem. The explanation says: the four gods of午, 未, 申, and 巳 are mutually combining, but 未 does not combine with 午, which brings regret, and 申 combines with 巳, which brings suspicion. Thus, although they are meeting of the chariot and combination, there are still many shortcomings. The fire of 午 harms and controls the metal of the day stem, though its power is slight, but the three transmissions lead the day stem into the land of officials and ghosts. The three transmissions are all fire, and when divining at night and encountering Teng Snake and Vermilion Bird, the five fires erupt together, how can the metal of the day stem escape being burned? Using rush reeds as arrows, the power is weak and cannot harm people, and the force is slow and light; but once led into the land of ghosts and forming a complete fire pattern, this slight metal will be melted. Only those who are officials, when they divinate, have a strong official star, but rely on the earth of 未 on the day stem to disperse the evil and generate themselves, thus achieving both the official star and the documents. When divining in the daytime, the nobleman is present on the day stem, and divining for an examination will certainly rank high.

斷曰：蒿矢之卦，兼逆連茹，其始雖有凶勇之勢，愈久愈微，蓋憂喜皆末實也；禍由外作，兵利為主。天時：課傳全是火土，久雨當日即晴。家宅：宅坐長生，主人宅興旺，夜占防火燭。功名：甚利，以退為進。求財：合夥營生則利。婚姻：可成，女益於男。

The divination indicates: This is the卦 of蒿矢, combined withretrograde and连茹. At first, there is a fierce and powerful appearance, but it gradually weakens over time, because whether it is sorrow or joy, in the end it does not materialize. The calamity comes from outside, and it is advantageous to take the initiative in military matters. The weather: both the lesson and the transmission are of fire and earth energy, so prolonged rain will clear up on the same day. For the household: the house is located in the long life position, so the owner and the house are both prosperous; during the night, be cautious of fire and candles. For official rank: very favorable, it is advantageous to retreat and then advance. For seeking wealth: profit comes from partnership in business. For marriage: it can be successful, and it is beneficial for the woman compared to the man.

眙產：屬女，孕則穩，產則易。疾病：病勢甚急，防有血症，惟養脾補腎為妙。出行：恐有阻，不能動身。行人：尚未歸。遺失：當在家中東南。捕獲：在西北方，樓臺池水之旁。出兵：可以取勝，晝占則吉。

Pregnancy: The child is a girl, the pregnancy is stable, and the delivery will be smooth. Disease: The illness is urgent, one should beware of bleeding, and the most appropriate remedy is to nourish the spleen and kidney. Travel: There may be obstacles, and one may not be able to move. Traveler: The traveler has not yet returned. Lost item: It should be in the southeast corner of the house. Capture: The person is in the northwest, near a building or a pond. Military campaign: It can be victorious, and it is more auspicious during the day.

畢法云：簾幕貴人高甲第。玉成歌云：水乘火將皆驚恐，勾雀同傳主訟爭。指掌賦云：三傳剋日，眾鬼難堪。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When the Nobleman is in authority behind a curtain, it indicates success in exams. The "Yucheng Ge" says: When the Water God is riding on the Fire General, it signifies fear and alarm; when "Gou Chen" (which governs disputes, land, and lawsuits) appears together with the Vermilion Bird in the Three Transmissions, it indicates the arising of disputes. The "Zhipang Fu" says: When all three transmissions jointly restrain the Day Stem, there is a situation of many ghosts attacking, which is really hard to bear.

課體：元首，間傳，顧祖，迴環。課義：幸名顧祖，亡門欺侮，可恨者寅，暗助初午。解曰：午發用，間退至寅，名為顧祖，其名可謂幸矣。但支午臨干克庚，又為上門亂首，是敢於欺侮者也。棄而投中傳之生，而辰遭夾克，又不足投。更進而就末傳之財，乃寅木遁鬼乘蛇，暗助初傳午火，反為傷庚，尤為可恨也。庚遂移而投戌上以受生，亦可謂之避難逃生。干上午，支上辰，乃干支與初中傳，拱地盤之夜貴，宜告貴成事。助刑戕德格：乃六處有神作支之自刑，又作干鬼，又結連三傳為鬼，來傷庚德。

There are four types of lesson patterns: "Original Head," where among the four lessons only one upper god is found to be attacking the lower god, and it takes that as the initiating transmission, so all matters proceed smoothly; "Intermediate Transmission"; "Looking Back to Ancestry," where the three transmissions are in reverse order, each separated by a position, and return to the place of growth and origin; "Circular Connection," where the four lessons and three transmissions are connected from beginning to end, turning around and around. The lesson meaning says: Fortunately, we have the good name of "Looking Back to Ancestry," but there is a god coming to the head and disturbing the superior; most annoying is the final transmission of yin wood, secretly helping the initial transmission of wu fire. The explanation says: Wu is the initiating transmission, moving in reverse order through the positions to reach yin, which is called "Looking Back to Ancestry," and this name is indeed fortunate. But the day branch wu is on the day stem and attacks geng metal, forming the image of a god coming to the head and disturbing the superior, which is an act of daring to bully the superior. The day stem abandons it and seeks survival through the middle transmission, but the middle transmission chen is attacked by both sides, so it is not worth seeking; moving forward to the final transmission, which is the wealth爻, the yin wood hidden in the heavenly stem is transformed into official ghost and rides on teng snake, secretly helping the initial transmission wu fire, and then turns back to injure geng metal, which is especially annoying. Geng metal thus moves to xu to receive birth and nourishment, which can also be called escaping from danger. The day stem is wu, the day branch is chen, the day stem and day branch together with the initial and middle transmissions, are exactly enclosing the night nobleman on the earth plate, which is suitable for seeking help from the nobleman to accomplish things. The saying "helping in crime, injuring virtue, and blocking" refers to among the six positions there is a god causing self-punishment on the day branch, and also the official ghost on the day stem, and it also involves all three transmissions being transformed into official ghosts, all coming together to injure the virtue of geng metal on the day.

斷曰：見機之卦，又名顧祖，有功成身退之象。顧祖詩曰：顧祖迎親復舊廬，求財謀望始圖維；惟有庚日不宜見，鬼來又向病中居。天時：龍神發用，宜有雨。求財：到手之後須防後禍。婚姻：不吉，不孝公姑。胎產：胎臨長生，恐其難產。疾病：脾家受克，不能即愈。爭訟：有人唆訟，防遭遣責。出行：驛馬陷空，未能起程。行人：末回。捕獲：在正東方，難獲。遺失：為人帶去。出兵：夜占將星克武，可以全勝。

The divination indicates a卦 of discerning opportunity, also known as Guzu, showing the appearance of achieving success and then withdrawing. The Guzu poem says: The Guzu divination is like welcoming a close relative back to the old home; seeking wealth and making plans should start from the beginning. However, on a Geng day, this divination is not suitable, as the official ghost comes, and the person will be trapped in illness. Weather conditions: The Azure Dragon initiates the transmission, indicating rain. Seeking wealth: After obtaining wealth, one must beware of future troubles. Marriage: Unfavorable, as after entering the family, the person will be disrespectful to the in-laws. Pregnancy: The fetal deity is located in the long life position, possibly leading to a difficult childbirth. Illness: The spleen meridian is being attacked, and the illness will not recover quickly. Disputes: Someone is inciting disputes, and one should beware of being reprimanded by superiors. Travel: The post-horse is trapped in Kongwang, and travel cannot proceed. A traveler: Has not yet returned. Capturing: The person is in the direction of due east, making it difficult to capture. Lost items: The item has been taken by someone else. Military campaign: Divined at night, the general star controls the warrior deity, leading to a great victory.

畢法云：我求彼事干傳支。課經云：末傳寅生起初傳午火而克庚金，乃教唆詞訟之人也。或為公曹、吏人、道士，或為鬍鬚人，或屬虎人，或其姓從木，再詳天將言之。

The Bi Fa Fu says: When the transmission starts from the day stem and returns to the day branch, it indicates that I am seeking someone else to handle a matter. The Ke Jing says: The final transmission is寅 wood which generates the initial transmission of午 fire, and the午 fire then overcomes庚 metal. This寅 wood is the person inciting a lawsuit; he may be a public official or servant in the government, or a Taoist priest, or a man with a full beard, or a person of the虎 zodiac, or someone whose surname contains the radical for wood. It is also necessary to examine the heavenly general accompanying it to make a definitive judgment.

課體：元首，元胎。課義：晝生夜克，訟凶官吉，亥喻蕭何，貴不憫恤。解曰：巳臨庚上，晝乘勾陳，則土將能生。夜乘朱雀，則火將為克，天將生克，吉凶分途矣。常人占訟，則官興而凶。仕人占宦，則官成而吉。亥為末傳，來克初巳，固能消災免禍。然生寅助巳，亦未始非亥也。所謂成也蕭何，敗也蕭何，皆亥之一神為之矣。兩貴入獄，求之則怒，豈有憫恤之心哉。

There are two types of lesson patterns: the original head and the original embryo. The meaning of the lesson says: if it is divined in the daytime, it is beneficial; if at night, it is subject to being overcome. For lawsuits, it is ominous; for official positions, it is auspicious. The final transmission is亥, which is like Xiao He of the early Han dynasty; success or failure both depend on him. Both noblemen are located in the prison position, showing no mercy at all. The explanation says:巳 is on top of庚, so if divined in the daytime, it is riding on Gou Chen, which belongs to earth and can generate metal; if at night, it is riding on Vermilion Bird, which belongs to fire and will overcome metal. The heavenly general is both generating and overcoming, thus dividing the auspicious and ominous into two paths. For ordinary people divining lawsuits, the government's involvement brings misfortune; for officials divining their careers, obtaining an official position brings good fortune.亥 is the final transmission, coming to overcome the initial transmission巳 fire, which can certainly help eliminate disasters and misfortunes; however, it generates寅 wood and then supports巳 fire again, which is still the matter of亥 dry branch. So, the one who brings success is Xiao He, and the one who brings failure is also Xiao He, all caused by亥 deity. Both noblemen are located in the prison position, seeking help only to provoke their anger, where is there any mercy?

斷曰：元首之卦，理宜從順。元胎之課，事宜從新。苟能事事順理，必有革故鼎新之象。天時：朱勾發用，龍神入廟，不能得雨。家宅：女人當坐喜，亦防火燭。婚姻：干上官，支上財，三傳財生官，主女益男家，來即受胎。胎產：是男喜，亦平安，但有病，產時略艱難。

The divination says: The main hexagram indicates that things should proceed in accordance with the natural order; the hexagram of the beginning suggests that matters should start anew. If everything proceeds smoothly, there will be a sign of eliminating old evils and establishing a new situation. Heaven's condition: The Vermilion Bird and Gou Chen initiate the transmission, the Azure Dragon returns to its own temple, and rain is not obtained. For the household: The woman in the family is about to have a child, and there should also be vigilance against fire and candles. For marriage: The day stem is the official star, the day branch is the wealth爻, and in the three transmissions, wealth generates the official star, indicating that the woman benefits the man's family, and upon entering the household, she will conceive. For childbirth: Giving birth to a son is a joyous event, both mother and child are safe, but there is a slight illness, and the childbirth will be somewhat difficult.

疾病：肝家有火，初病易治，久病難痊。求謀：有人在中間撮合，便孟干中取利。出行：水陸平安，但恐有病，亦防有阻。行人：馬猶落空，不能即至。遺失：有人慾破敗之。捕獲：隱東南貴人家。出兵：主勝客，恐曠日持久，頻有書信往來陣前。

Disease: There is fire in the liver meridian; new diseases are easy to cure, but long-term illnesses are hard to recover from. Seeking opportunities: Someone is acting as an intermediary, but that person wants to take advantage. Travel: Both water and land routes are safe, but beware of getting sick on the way and also of obstacles. A missing person: The post-horse is still in kongwang, so the person will not arrive soon. Lost items: Someone deliberately wants to destroy it. Capturing: It is hidden in the home of a nobleman in the southeast. Military campaign: The army of the host will defeat the guest army, but be cautious of prolonged warfare and frequent communication on the battlefield.

畢法云：金日逢丁凶禍動。課經云：巳加庚，卯加午，為丁神臨宅，是為人宅罹禍。蓋日上神剋日，而辰上神乘丁，又剋日故也。丁神乘卯，卯為日財。占者必因妻而起禍，否則因財而起禍。卯為胎財，若十月占，死氣在卯，畢法所謂胎財死氣損胎推也。

The *Bi Fa Fu* says: When the metal day stem meets the hidden stem Ding, misfortune will arise. The *Ke Jing* states: When Si is placed over Geng and Mao is placed over Wu, it is called Ding God controlling the house, meaning both the person and the house will suffer misfortune; this is because the heavenly stem above the day stem is attacking the day stem, and the earthly branch above the day branch is riding on Ding God, which also attacks the day stem. If Ding God is on Mao, Mao is the wife and wealth of the day stem, so the fortune will certainly be caused by the wife or by wealth. Moreover, Mao is also the fetal wealth. If the divination is made in the tenth month, death qi is exactly on Mao, which is the case mentioned in the *Bi Fa Fu* where fetal wealth meets death qi, and one must refer to the loss of the fetal wealth.

課體：知一，炎上，斬關。課義：自來生身，切勿信憑，倘遇夜卜，總是幽冥。解曰：辰來生支，晝夜皆乘元武，恐反虛盜，不足憑也。戌午空陷，不能會火局以克我，是彼雖有虛聲，而無實禍也。寅為財神，坐於鬼方，亦不敢取，是吉凶皆無所就矣。至於夜占遇之，愈加幽冥。然而大體不吉，豈獨夜占為然哉。干上辰土生庚金，支上寅木生午火。只宜坐待其時，倘動其干支，即坐於脫氣之鄉，謂之樂里生憂。戌為六合，臨寅奸丑，陰私不明，奴婢逃走。戌為孟上神，故不論涉害。

There are three types of lesson patterns: knowing one, which is comparing usage; "Inflaming Up," which is when the three transmissions consist of the fire triad of Yin, Wu, and Xu; and cutting the gate. The lesson meaning says: The辰 comes to me by itself to generate me, but one must not rely on it or depend on it; if one happens to cast a lesson at night, the whole situation is even more obscure. The explanation says: Although the辰 comes to generate me, it is governed by the Black Tortoise in both day and night arrangements, so it is likely false and deceptive, unreliable. The Wu and Xu are both in empty and trapped positions, so they cannot form a fire pattern to overcome me, showing that although the opponent may appear strong, there is no real harm. The寅 is the wealth god, but it is seated in the position of official ghosts, so it dares not take it, thus neither good nor bad can be achieved. As for casting a lesson at night, it becomes even more obscure; however, this lesson is basically not auspicious, so why would it be so only when cast at night? The辰 earth on the day stem generates the庚 metal, and the寅 wood on the day branch generates the午 fire, so it is only suitable to wait for the right opportunity; if one disturbs the stems and branches, one will enter a place of leakage, which is called joy leading to worry. The戌 is governed by theLiu He, which is on the寅 and has an affair with the丑, indicating secret and ambiguous matters, suggesting servants or attendants will run away. The戌 is a god of the first quarter, so it does not need to be determined by the method of involving harm.

斷曰：炎上之課，斬關可通，有舊事翻新之象。三傳全鬼，反為不畏，當有鬼神暗中默佑，轉禍為福。天時：炎上局，自戌傳寅，主晴。家宅：宅多闇昧之神，家有陰私之事。功名：自墓傳生，官星正旺。求財：財神臨支守虎，難以到手。婚姻：一派私淫之象，斷不宜成。

The divination says: This is a fire rising pattern, showing an image of cutting through barriers, indicating that matters are presenting as old things being brought up again. All three transmissions are official ghosts, yet this is not something to fear, for there are spirits secretly protecting and turning misfortune into good fortune. As for the weather: the three transmissions form a fire pattern, moving from戌 to寅, indicating clear weather. As for the household: there are many obscure and unclear spirits within the home, suggesting some hidden family matters. As for official positions: from the grave to the birth place, the official star is at its peak. As for seeking wealth: the wealth god is at the day branch but is guarded by the white tiger, making it difficult to obtain. As for marriage: there is a full atmosphere of secret relationships and immorality, so it is definitely not advisable to form a marriage.

胎產：陰私婢妾之孕，恐是病胎。疾病：晝占當是肺氣受病，宜清邪火，急切難愈。出行：宜從陸路，亦防盜賊。行人：他往未到。遺失：已為人取去。捕獲：在北方道路旁，或在僧道家。出軍：賊從西轉東，其勢正盛。

Tales of pregnancy: it is a secret pregnancy, possibly from a concubine or servant, and the child is likely to be sickly. Disease: during the day, it indicates illness in the lungs, suitable treatment is to clear away evil fire, but it cannot be cured quickly. Travel: it is suitable to travel by land, and one should also beware of thieves. Travelers: the person has gone to another place but has not yet arrived. Lost items: the things have already been taken by someone. Capture: the person is hiding by the northern road or concealed in the home of a monk or Taoist. Military campaign: the enemy force is coming from the west to the east, and is currently at its strongest.

畢法云：眾鬼雖彰全不畏，后合占婚豈用媒。課經云：三傳雖全傷日干，不知反生干上辰土，育養庚金，是謂傳鬼為生格。

The Bi Fa Fu says: Although many ghosts are apparent, they are all not to be feared; when the Heavenly Empress and Liu He appear together in a marriage divination, the two sides naturally match, without the need for a matchmaker. The Ke Jing says: Although the three transmissions all injure and overcome the day stem, they do not know that they instead benefit the day stem's辰土, and the辰土 then nourishes the庚金, which is called the pattern of "transmissions of ghosts becoming a source."

課體：比用，龍戰，官爵。課義：長生雖在，全無倚賴，丑為干墓，卯作支敗。解曰：巳乃長生，落於空亡，又被初傳戌墓，末傳子克，其不足倚賴明矣。丑為干墓，而臨干支。卯為支敗，而臨於干。彼此交互，俱無美意，是四課三傳，皆無益矣。況初中俱是空陷，吉凶不成，尤不宜占父母病也。干上卯生支，支上丑生干。雖有生旺之名，反成衰敗之象。蓋以卯敗午，而丑墓庚也。不可作耳生格。亦有干神生干，支神生支者，名俱生格，主彼此各有生意。六庚日卯加申，乃胎臨本日，占產可言當日便生，為胎神克絕也。

There are three types of lesson patterns: 'Bi Yong' (like and harmonious), where many of the four lessons are in conflict and the god that harmonizes with the day stem is used as the initiating transmission; 'Long Zhan' (dragon battle), where the卯 and 酉 are combined, and the two sides contend with each other; and 'Guan Jue' (official rank), which relates to matters of official positions and titles. The lesson meaning says: although the long life is still present, it is entirely unreliable; the丑 is the burial place of the day stem, and the卯 is the declining force of the day branch. The explanation says: the巳 is the long life of the庚 metal, but it falls into the empty and lost place, and is also taken by the戌墓 in the first transmission and is attacked by the子 water in the final transmission, so its unreliability is obvious. The丑 is the burial place of the day stem, but it is placed above the stem and branch; the卯 is the declining force of the day branch, but it is placed above the day stem: the two sides interact, neither has a good meaning, showing that the four lessons and three transmissions are all of no benefit. Moreover, the first and middle transmissions both fall into empty and lost places, so good fortune cannot be achieved and misfortune cannot be realized, especially unsuitable for predicting the illness of parents. The卯 on the day stem gives birth to the day branch, and the丑 on the day branch gives birth to the day stem; although they are called mutually generating and flourishing, they actually become signs of decline, because the卯 is the declining place of the午, and the丑 is the burial place of the庚, so they cannot be regarded as mutual generation. There is also the case where the god on the day stem gives birth to the day stem and the god on the day branch gives birth to the day branch, which is called mutual generation, indicating that each has its own vitality. If the卯 is placed on the sixth day of庚, the fetal god is present on the current day, and it can be predicted that childbirth will occur on the same day, because the fetal god has been attacked to the point of extinction.

斷曰：比用之卦，從違宜審，又名龍戰。君子修德則吉，小人違德則凶。凡事止有虛聲，不足深信。天時：陰霾未雨。家宅：外面盡好，中實破敗；凡事虛花，全無實際。婚姻：心雖孟成，宜防刑耗。疾病：向有舊病，醫之可以除根。求財：些少不多。功名：不能如意，夜占當有同姓人提拔。胎產：男喜，占產即生。逃亡：自歸。行人：有阻未至。出行：未能動身。行師：為主者勝。

The divination says: When using the hexagram for comparison, one must carefully consider whether to accept or reject it. This reading is also known as "Dragon Strife." For the virtuous, cultivating virtue brings good fortune; for the wicked, abandoning virtue brings misfortune. All matters are merely empty reputation and not worth relying on. Weather: Dark clouds are thick but no rain falls. Home: It appears fine from the outside, but inside it is actually in disrepair; all matters are empty and do not result in reality. Marriage: Although the heart desires success, one should be cautious of conflicts and expenses. Illness: There has been an old illness, and seeking medical treatment can cure it. Seeking wealth: There will be only a little, not much. Fame and status: One's wishes will not be fulfilled, but during the night, someone of the same surname will support. Pregnancy: Giving birth to a son is a good thing, and the prediction of childbirth indicates that delivery will happen immediately. Escape: The person who ran away will return on their own. Traveler: There are obstacles on the way, and the person has not yet arrived. Travel: One cannot move. Military campaign: The commander will win.

畢法云：金日逢丁凶禍動，胎財生氣妻懷孕。照膽秘訣云：戌加卯上是合鄉，信至人歸見福昌。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When the metal day meets the hidden stem Ding and the spirit, misfortune will arise. If the fetal spirit and the wealth hexagram appear together and meet the life qi, it indicates that the wife is pregnant. The "Zhaochan Mijue" says: When the dog hour is placed on the rabbit, it is exactly a harmonious place, meaning messages will arrive and people will return home, showing prosperity and blessings.

課體：反吟，涉害，元胎。課義：財雖可絕，七虎排列，切勿取財，秋占焚燕。解曰：寅財臨申，巳投絕地，況兼七虎相持，豈可取乎。秋占火鬼是子，晝將乘螣蛇克宅，主有火災，宜以井底泥塗灶禳之。干支拱晝貴，大宜干貴。又晝夜兩貴相加，必求兩貴人而後成；或干涉兩貴人，或謁貴不見，往見別貴；或貴人在宅，自會別貴，大概不止一貴人也。庚日申為本命，反吟課為人入鬼門，占病必死。財遁丙鬼，必因財致禍，因食傷身，因妻成訟，占者切宜謹慎。

There are three types of lesson patterns: reverse chant, involvement of harm, and original embryo. The lesson meaning says: although the wealth hexagram has already reached a place of extinction, there are seven white tigers lined up; do not attempt to obtain wealth, for a divination in autumn is like a fierce fire burning a swallow's nest. The explanation says: the wealth hexagram is located on the寅 (Yin) position, and the巳 (Si) has already entered the place of extinction, and furthermore, there are seven tigers conflicting, so where can wealth be obtained? A divination in autumn has the fire ghost located on the子 (Zi) position, and the day general is riding the teng snake to attack the house, indicating a fire disaster. It is advisable to take mud from the bottom of a well and apply it to the stove to ward off the disaster. The day stem and day branch enclose the day nobleman, which is most favorable for seeking the nobleman. Also, the day and night noblemen add to each other, so the matter must be referred to both noblemen; or it may involve both noblemen, or one nobleman is not met and one has to go to the other, or the nobleman is already at home and will meet the other nobleman. In any case, there are more than one nobleman involved. On a庚 (Geng) day, the申 (Shen) is the original position, and the reverse chant lesson indicates that a person has entered the gate of ghosts, and if it is about illness, it is certain to die. The wealth hexagram evades the丙 (Bing) fire, which transforms into the official ghost, indicating that one will certainly suffer misfortune due to wealth, injury from food, and disputes with one's wife. The person divining must be cautious.

斷曰：無依之課，又曰元胎，大抵人情暗中不順，反覆後成，縱有吉神吉將，凡百艱難。天時：晝占主雨，夜占主風。家宅：主有變更之事，亦防有孝服。求財：反覆不定，須防禍福。婚姻：夜占女子美貌，晝占不吉。胎產：生亦不育。疾病：病不一症，醫不一方，晝占是火克肺金之病。行人：未至。出行：恐防有阻，半途而返。捕獲：不可得。遺失：原在舊地。出師：殺氣太重，止宜和好。

The divination says: This is a lesson of no support, also called the original embryo. Generally, people's feelings are not smooth in secret, and they need to go through several reversals before things can be settled. Even if there are auspicious deities and favorable generals, everything will still be difficult. As for the weather: if divined during the day, it indicates rain; if at night, it indicates wind. For the household: there will be changes and alterations, and one should also be cautious of mourning. For seeking wealth: it is unstable and uncertain, and one should be careful of unpredictable fortune or misfortune. For marriage: if divined at night, the woman's appearance is beautiful; if during the day, it is inauspicious. For childbirth: even if the child is born, it may not survive. For illness: there are multiple symptoms, and multiple treatments are needed. If divined during the day, it indicates a disease where fire overcomes the lung metal. For a traveler: he has not yet arrived. For travel: there may be obstacles on the way, and the journey may be cut short. For capturing: it cannot be caught. For lost items: the item is still in its original place. For military campaigns: the atmosphere is too fierce, and it is better to seek peace instead of fighting.

畢法云：虎乘遁鬼殃非淺，賓主不投刑在上。課經云：庚日反吟伏吟，皆是地盤旬首上神乘元武，為閉口課。玉成歌云：反吟占事休言定，往復雙雙兩事因；常占須主身搖動，不動人情有怨心。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When the White Tiger is riding on the hidden heavenly stem that transforms into the official ghost, calamity is not shallow; the host and guest do not harmonize with each other, because the punishments and restrictions are all on the upper spirits. The "Ke Jing" says: On a庚 day, the reverse chant lesson and the hidden chant lesson both have the spirit riding on the earth plate's decade head, which belongs to the closed mouth lesson. The "Yucheng Ge" says: In reverse chant divination, do not speak too definitively about the matter, for coming and going are always two causes that come in pairs; for ordinary people, it mostly indicates instability in themselves, even if their body does not move, there is resentment in human relationships.
