On the Bingzi day, fifth arrangement: the stem is on the Chou branch.

課體：彈射，潤下，閉口，泆女。課義：交居匪吉，晝占財失，三合六合，占官必陟。解曰：子與丑合，巳與申合，此干支上下交居也。然丑為申墓，子又克丙，雖交居，而亦不為吉。申，日之財也。晝占乘元武，必主失脫。三傳申子辰為三合會成水局，而干之陰陽巳酉丑又成金局，與三傳各作六合，以此占官，官必陟也。

The lesson pattern is "弹射" (Projectile), "闭口" (Closed Mouth), and "泆女" (Foolish Woman). The three transmissions are Shen, Zi, and Chen, which form a water trinity called "润下" (Moistening Down). The four lines of the lesson meaning state: the interaction and union of the heavenly stem and earthly branch are not auspicious, and a day lesson taken in the daytime indicates loss of wealth; however, with both the triple harmony and the six harmonies complete, predicting an official position will certainly indicate promotion. Detailed explanation: Zi and Chou are in mutual union, and Si and Shen are also in mutual union, which represents the interaction between the heavenly stem and earthly branch. However, Chou is the tomb of Shen, and Zi also overcomes Bing fire, so although they are in union, it is not considered auspicious. Shen is the wealth element of the day, and a day lesson taken in the daytime with the Black Tortoise as the ruler will certainly indicate theft. The three transmissions Shen, Zi, and Chen form a water trinity, while the yin and yang elements of the day stem, Si, You, and Chou, form a metal trinity. These two trinities are each in mutual harmony, and using such a lesson to predict an official position will certainly indicate promotion.

斷曰：此彈射之卦，又為潤下全局。日遙克神，故名彈射。中傳見土，雖曰有丸，然坐空亡，即為失彈，禍福皆無力也。三傳俱鬼，若傳內有一財出現，其財可安穩而得，謂之傳鬼化財。若兩課俱空，獨存一財，乃名全鬼變財，財甚危險。如此課雖有干上丑土制水，但晝占皆乘水獸，得財須防發禍。

Overall interpretation: This is a "Shan She" (Shooting) lesson, and also a complete Runxia (flowing water) pattern. The day stem remotely controls another god, hence called "Shan She." The middle transmission shows earth, like a slingshot having a stone, but it sits on Kongwang, meaning the stone is lost, so neither good nor bad has power. All three transmissions are official ghosts. If a wealth hexagram appears in the transmission, this wealth can be securely obtained, called "Chuan Gui Hua Cai." If both lessons are empty and only one wealth remains, it is called "Quan Gui Bian Cai," and obtaining wealth is extremely dangerous. In this lesson, although there is the丑 earth controlling water on the day stem, since the lesson was cast in the daytime with all heavenly generals belonging to water, obtaining wealth still requires caution to prevent trouble.

天時：多雨。家宅：不興旺，防妻室有災。婚姻：失正不宜。胎產：主女易產。功名：仕者得升遷，試者可獲科第。求財：吉利。投謁：不遇。疾病：占妻病不吉。失脫：財物散，人難獲。出行：宜從水路。行人：來而有喜。爭訟：宜和解。兵戰：不利，虛張聲勢。

Divination on weather: there will be much rain. Divination on the household: not prosperous, beware of misfortune for the wife. Divination on marriage: lost the right path, not advisable. Divination on pregnancy: indicates a female child, easy childbirth. Divination on official rank: officials may be promoted, those taking exams may pass. Divination on seeking wealth: auspicious. Divination on visiting: not seeing anyone. Divination on illness: the wife's illness is inauspicious. Divination on lost property: property is scattered, people are also hard to find. Divination on travel: suitable to travel by water. Divination on a traveler: he will come bringing good news. Divination on disputes: suitable to reconcile. Divination on military matters: unfavorable, just a show of strength.

畢法云：眾鬼雖彰全不畏，萬事喜忻三六合，后合占婚豈用媒。袖中金云：彈射第三課為用，乃日辰兩陽神相戰，作事凶重有力，不可先動。秘要云：後陰乘白虎，恐有斷絃憂。纂要云：遙克課乘空發用，將乘元武，定主失脫。

The *Bifa Fu* says: Although official ghosts are evident, there is no need to fear; all matters bring joy because the Triple Harmony and Liu He are complete; when the Heavenly Empress meets Liu He, marriage does not need a matchmaker. The *Xiu Zhong Jin* says: In the shooting lesson, the third lesson is used as the basis, which is the conflict between the day and the hour's two yang spirits, indicating that affairs are凶 and powerful, and one should not act too early. The *Lun Yin Mi Yao* says: If the remote overcoming lesson is based on an empty element, and the Heavenly General is riding the Black Tortoise, it will certainly indicate theft. The *Lun Yin Zuan Yao* says: If the remote overcoming lesson is based on an empty element, and the Heavenly General is riding the Black Tortoise, it will certainly indicate theft.

課體：涉害，四絕，不備，亂首。課義：課傳上克，亂首喪德，采葛尋腦，妻財作慝。解曰：四課三傳皆被上克，而支子發用，臨干克干，課名亂首。丙德在巳，為子水所克，是喪德也。酉乃丙之妻財，酉加於寅，寅加於未，未加於子，子來克丙，尋致亂之根原，譬如采葛尋腦，非始於妻財作慝而何。畢法：子寅涉害俱同，但子剋日不比，而寅生日可比，故三傳舊用寅酉辰。

The lesson pattern is "涉害", "四绝", "不备", and "乱首": when the lower position attacks the upper position in reverse, it is called "乱首". The four sentences of "课义" say: all four lessons and three transmissions are attacked by the superior deity, and the "乱首" lesson also damages the day stem's virtue; investigating the root of disorder is like searching for the root of a vine, and the original cause is the wife and wealth hidden in the background. Detailed explanation: all four lessons and three transmissions are attacked and damaged by the superior deity, and the day branch's zi transmission comes to attack the day stem, so the lesson is called "乱首". The virtue deity of bing fire is in si, but it is attacked by zi water, which is called "losing virtue". You is the wife and wealth of bing fire, you is placed on yin, yin is placed on wei, wei is placed on zi, and zi attacks bing fire again; following this line to trace the root of disorder is like searching for the root of a vine, and the beginning is indeed the wife and wealth causing trouble. The "Bi Fa Fu" says: zi and yin involve harm to the same extent, but zi attacking the day stem is not comparable, while yin nurturing the day stem is comparable, so the old method of the three transmissions takes yin, you, and chen.

斷曰：此見機之卦，亦名上門亂首。蓋日往加辰，而辰剋日發用者，事體猶輕。今辰來加日，而剋日發用，則為尊不凌卑，卑反犯上之象。宜征討不順，以應師卦。六害相加，名侵害課。

Total interpretation: This is a "Seeing Opportunity" lesson, also called "Disorder at the Beginning." If the day stem goes to attack the day branch, and the day branch overcomes the day stem to initiate the transmission, the matter is still light. Now, however, the day branch goes to attack the day stem, and the day branch overcomes the day stem to initiate the transmission, which forms a situation where the superior cannot control the inferior, and the inferior rebels against the superior. It is suitable for mobilizing troops to deal with those who are disobedient, corresponding to the "Military" hexagram in the I Ching. The six harms are layered, also called "Injurious Lesson."

天時：有雨，難晴。家宅：家口不寧，不利於妻。婚姻：丑時占和合，餘不用。胎產：防傷損。功名：先見挫折後有成。求財：勉強有得，終見不足。疾病：主口願未還，驚憂百出，占妻病尤凶。失脫：目下難獲，久自見。出行：不利。行人：即至，主在路不寧。爭訟：主一家自相凌犯，外訟兩損。兵戰：晝占不寧，夜占得金寶，然須謹慎，不可輕敵。

Divination on weather: rain is present, and it is difficult for the weather to clear. Divination on the household: there is unrest among family members, and it is unfavorable for the wife. Divination on marriage: the divination should be started at the hour of Chou, and it indicates harmony; other hours are not suitable. Divination on childbirth: there is a risk of injury. Divination on official rank: there will be initial setbacks followed by eventual success. Divination on seeking wealth: one can obtain some, but ultimately it is insufficient. Divination on illness: it indicates that vows made verbally have not been fulfilled, causing much worry and anxiety; illness of the wife is especially dangerous. Divination on lost items: they are hard to find now, but will appear naturally after some time. Divination on travel: it is unfavorable. Divination on a traveler: the traveler will arrive soon, but the journey is not smooth. Divination on disputes: it indicates family members harming each other; if it is a lawsuit with outsiders, both sides will suffer losses. Divination on military matters: if the divination is started during the day, there will be unrest; if started at night, there may be gains of treasure, but one must be cautious and not be overconfident.

畢法云：三傳互克眾人欺，支干全傷防兩損，彼此猜忌害相隨。袖中金云：三上克下，為長幼不利於小。課經云：干上子為初傳，雖是日鬼，卻生末傳寅木長生，又賴宅上未土為救，謂之引鬼為生格。

The "Bifa Fu" says: If the three transmissions mutually control and attack each other, one will be bullied by many; if both the day stem and the branches are injured, one should beware of mutual loss; if there is mutual suspicion, harmful energy will follow. The "Xiu Zhong Jin" says: If all three lessons are upper controlling lower, it indicates that elders are harmful to the younger generation. The "Liu Ren Ke Jing" says: If the zi (branch) on the day stem serves as the first transmission, although it is the day's official ghost, it can generate the long life god yin wood as the final transmission, and also rely on the earth branch wei soil as the saving god, this is called "leading the ghost to become a life pattern."

課體：反吟，知一，無依，三交。課義：德祿旺刃，並皆灰燼，到處去來，難退難進。解曰：丙之德祿在巳，而午為旺刃，今皆沖激受克，化為灰燼矣。去從克處去，來從克處來。到處受克，所謂前後逼迫也。其為進為退，不亦難哉。

The lesson pattern is "Reverse Chant," "Know One," "No Dependence," and "Three Intersections." The four lines of the lesson meaning state: the daily virtue, daily fortune, and the strong cutting tool of the day are all reduced to ashes; coming and going are all subject to being overcome, advancing is difficult and retreating is also difficult. Detailed explanation: the virtue and fortune of the propitious fire (Jing) are both in Si, and Wu is its strong cutting tool. Now all these are attacked and damaged, reduced to ashes. Going is from where it is overcome, and coming is from where it is overcome, everywhere being overcome, which is called being pressed from both front and back. To advance or retreat, how can it not be difficult?

斷曰：此無依之卦，亦為三交。火水未濟，反覆呻吟。雖合高蓋之稱，而車輪朽脫，非君子利有攸往之象也。朱雀作日鬼加干，謂之雀鬼格，朝官忌有彈章。丙日干上臨亥，為結絕格，常問必主病訟。如已見災，偏宜結絕舊事。又作晝貴，宜告貴人結絕。

General interpretation: This is a lesson of "no support" and also "three intersections." Fire is above and water is below, exactly matching the image of Hexagram 64, Fire and Water Not Yet Joined, indicating repeated lamentation and distress. Although there is the name of a high carriage and Huagai, the wheels have already rotted and fallen off, which is not a favorable sign for a gentleman to go somewhere. The Vermilion Bird is the official ghost over the day stem, forming the "Vermilion Bird Official Ghost" pattern, which is something officials in court should avoid, as it signifies being accused in a memorial. On the day stem of Bing, the presence of亥 forms the "Conclusion and Cessation" pattern, indicating that ordinary people asking about matters will inevitably face illness and legal troubles; if misfortune has already occurred, it is actually appropriate to use this opportunity to conclude old matters.亥 is also the daytime nobleman, suitable for reporting to the nobleman to seek a resolution.

天時：陰晴不定。家宅：主家有逃匿之人，少樹木。婚姻：晝占吉，主反覆難合。胎產：夜占生女，防傷墮。功名：反覆中獲如意。求財：只宜合伴出門經營，夜占不利。投謁：頻數有益。疾病：主寒熱反覆。失脫：已在道路。出行：主為謁貴及文書之事。行人：當至，將復他往。爭訟：夜占陰私不明之事，事多反覆，若能安分，化禍為福。兵戰：晝占大勝，夜占失物損將。

Divination on the weather: The weather is uncertain, with both cloudy and sunny conditions. Divination on the household: There are people hiding or avoiding within the house, and there are few trees around the house. Divination on marriage: The divination is auspicious if done during the day, but the marriage will be complicated and difficult to achieve. Divination on pregnancy: If the divination is done at night, a daughter is expected, and there is a risk of harming the fetus. Divination on official rank: Success will be achieved despite repeated difficulties. Divination on seeking wealth: It is best to go into business with partners, and divination at night is unfavorable. Divination on visiting a nobleman: It is beneficial to visit several times. Divination on illness: The illness involves alternating chills and fever. Divination on lost items: The item has already been lost on the road. Divination on travel: The travel is for visiting a nobleman or handling official documents. Divination on a traveler: The traveler should have arrived, but after arriving, he will go somewhere else. Divination on disputes: If the divination is done at night, there are hidden matters and repeated changes; if one can remain honest and upright, misfortune can be turned into good fortune. Divination on military affairs: If the divination is done during the day, there will be a great victory; if done at night, there will be loss of property and loss of generals.

畢法云：鬼乘天乙乃神祇，前後逼迫難進退。指南：戊子四月戌將辰時占升遷，曰：太歲作鬼沖剋，青龍、財官、祿馬俱人空絕，縱得升遷，必有意外之變。六月果得升，未幾以疽發背而卒。纂要云：雀立登明，求事不成。

The "Bifa Fu" says: Officials and spirits riding on Tianyi Guiren indicate divine disturbances; being pressed from both front and back, one is in a dilemma. The "Liu Yin Zhi Nan" records a case: In the year Wuzi, in the fourth lunar month, with You as the month general and added at the third hour, the divination about promotion was interpreted as follows: The sovereign year acts as an official and spirit to clash and control, Qinglong, wealth爻, official stars,禄神, and Yimai all fall into Kongwang, a desolate place. Even if promotion is obtained, there will certainly be unexpected changes. In the sixth lunar month, he indeed got promoted, but soon afterwards he died from a boil on his back. The "Liu Yin Zuan Yao" says: Zhuque standing at Dengming (Hai) indicates that affairs cannot be accomplished.

課體：重審，鑄印，不備。課義：自取其禍，課傳相鎖，兩蛇加墓，德祿何可。解曰：干往加支，反被剋制，是為上門自取禍也。又係干支鎖合，難以解憂釋慮。戌為丙火之墓，臨日而為兩蛇所夾，其為凶災必矣。發用雖曰德祿，而傳入墓庫，烏乎可哉。有官者占之，大是偃蹇。

The lesson pattern is "Re-examination," "Seal and Seal," and "Incompleteness." The four lines of the lesson meaning state: This is a calamity brought about by oneself; the four lessons and three transmissions are locked together; two Teng Snakes enclose the storage god, how can the day's virtue and day's fortune help? Detailed explanation: The day stem goes to attack the day branch, but is instead restrained by the day branch, which is like inviting misfortune from above. Adding the fact that the heavenly stems and earthly branches are locked together, worries cannot be resolved. Xu is the burial place of Bing fire, located on the day stem and enclosed by two Teng Snakes, misfortune is inevitable. Although the initiating transmission god is said to be the day's virtue and day's fortune, it has entered the storage, so what can be done? Those with official positions who divinate this will face great difficulties.

斷曰：此重審之卦，亦名鑄印乘軒，有顯官榮祿之象。巳為爐，戌為印，卯為印模。戌中辛金逢巳中丙火作合，段煉鑄成，故名鑄印。卯為車，故名乘軒。若夏月火日，蛇雀之火太旺，戌卯或值空亡，則為破印損模，求官又為不吉。

General interpretation: This is a "Chong Shen" lesson, also called "Zhu Yin Cheng Xuan," indicating the image of a prominent official and honor and benefits. Si is the furnace, Xu is the seal, and Mao is the mold for casting the seal; the hidden Xin metal in Xu combines with the hidden Bing fire in Si, undergoing refinement to form the seal, hence called "Zhu Yin." Mao is also a carriage, hence called "Cheng Xuan." If the lesson is cast on a summer day with fire as the starting element, the fire energy of Teng Snake and Zhu Que becomes too strong, and Xu and Mao also meet Kongwang, resulting in the destruction of the seal and the damage of the mold, making it inauspicious for seeking official positions.

天時：燥熱未得雨。家宅：吉利，夏秋防火燭。婚姻：可用六禮煩費。胎產：是女，即生男，防不實。功名：求官有成，現任不利。求財：交易之財，有利。投謁：得遇。疾病：象凶，有陰德可保。失脫：可獲。出行：上官見貴吉，主遇墟墓驚恐。行人：即來，春占本日至。爭訟：中多虛詐，主事起飲食間。兵戰：晝占利，夜占中平。

Divination on the weather: dry and hot, and it will not rain. Divination on the family home: auspicious, but beware of fire and candles during summer and autumn. Divination on marriage: it can be successful, but the expenses for the six rites are considerable. Divination on pregnancy: it is said to be a girl, even if a boy is born, there is a need to be cautious about it not being confirmed. Divination on official rank: seeking an official position will be successful, but the current position is not favorable. Divination on seeking wealth: profit can be made from business. Divination on visiting: one can meet the person. Divination on illness: the omen is ominous, but with Yin virtue, safety can be ensured. Divination on lost items: they can be recovered. Divination on travel: going to take office and meeting a nobleman is auspicious, but there is a warning of encountering old graves on the way and being startled. Divination on a traveler: he will arrive immediately, and if the divination is cast in spring, he will arrive on the same day. Divination on disputes: there is much falsehood involved, and the matter arises from food and drink. Divination on military matters: casting the divination in the daytime is favorable, but casting it at night is average.

畢法云：權攝不正祿臨支，兩蛇夾墓凶難免，傳墓入墓分憎愛。古鑑：己酉十一月朔，卯將戌時，占前程曰：卯來克戌，戌去墓丙，巳去人宅被克，定阻，服制滿後得差。又合迴避，方孟出頭，數又盡矣。果丁內艱起，復避兄任，歸九年染恙竟卒。

The "Bifa Fu" states: The position of an agent is not properly named because the禄神 is present in the day branch; two Teng Snakes enclosing theTomb Spirit inevitably lead to misfortune; when the墓 in the transmission also enters theStorage, it should be considered according to whether it is favorable or unfavorable. The "Gujian" records a case: In the year Jiyou, on the first day of the eleventh lunar month, with the hour of Xu under the sign of Wei, a divination was made about the future. The interpretation was: The卯 comes to overcome the戌, and the戌 also absorbs the Bing fire into its墓. The巳 goes to enter the house but is overcome, so the official career will certainly be obstructed, and one must wait until the mourning period is over to get a post; also, one should avoid certain things. Just as one was about to rise, one's fate was exhausted. Later, it indeed happened that he had to mourn his mother and also resigned to avoid his brother's official position, returning home for nine years and eventually died from illness.

課體：重審，從革，斬關，伏殃。課義：三傳無跡，兩貴坐厄，夜將生之，財亡再獲。解曰：初傳旬空，中傳坐於空位，末傳又乘空神，是三傳皆空，無形跡也。酉為夜貴，受丙之克。亥為晝貴，被未之克。兩貴皆坐厄地，豈能得貴之力乎。金局俱空，財既亡失，若夜占得天乙太常、勾陳之土生之，不啻再獲，大宜索債。

The lesson pattern is "Reexamination," "From Reform," "Cutting the Gate," and "Hidden Harm." The three transmissions are in the signs巳, 酉, and 丑, forming a metal trinity. Metal is characterized by reform, hence it is called "From Reform." The four lines of the lesson meaning state: the three transmissions have no traces, and both noblemen are seated in dangerous places; if the divination is done at night and the earth element comes to generate, the lost wealth can be regained. Detailed explanation: the first transmission falls in the旬空, the middle transmission is seated in the empty position, and the final transmission is accompanied by the empty god, thus all three transmissions are empty and have no form. 酉 is the night nobleman, but is overcome by 丙 fire; 亥 is the day nobleman, but is overcome by 未 earth: both noblemen are seated in dangerous places, how can they receive the power of the nobleman? The metal trinity is entirely empty, so the wealth has already been lost; if the divination is cast at night and the heavenly generals such as Tian Yi, Tai Chang, and Gou Chen, which belong to the earth element, come to generate it, it is as if lost wealth is regained, which is most suitable for seeking to recover debts.

斷曰：此卦從革之局，又為重審。事利後動，先天後革，有氣則革而增進，無氣則革而速退，百凡宜詳審後行。辰乘虎加子，乃支墓臨支克支。如占家宅，必有孝服，或有伏尸。蓋罡虎臨宅，驚恐總非細耳。

Overall interpretation: This divination is from the "Revolution" pattern and also belongs to "Re-examination," which suggests it is advisable to act after others. First, it follows the old way, then it undergoes change: if there is energy, it will change and bring gain; if there is no energy, it will change and quickly retreat. In all matters, one should carefully examine before taking action. The辰 (Chen) is riding the White Tiger and is placed on the Zi (子), meaning the墓 (mound) of the day branch is resting on the day branch and also attacks it. If this is about a family residence, there must be matters concerning mourning clothes, or a body that has been left undisturbed, because the Tiangang (天罡) and White Tiger are present in the residence, causing fear and alarm that will not be small.

天時：孟雨旋晴，出旬有雨。家宅：罡虎臨宅，主有驚恐。婚姻：不宜，亦不成。胎產：恐不實，夜占得男。功名：秋占大吉，餘不用。求財：宜空手求之，持本者反無利。投謁：未遇。疾病：占小口有災，卯月占病凶。失脫：宜尋亦難見。出行：恐所往無倚托。行人：速來。爭訟：不宜投托勢要，宜和解。兵戰：損失或將士病患。

Divination on weather: In the early part of the month, rain will come and then clear up quickly, but there will be more rain outside this ten-day period. Divination on the household: The Tiangang and White Tiger are present, indicating fear and alarm. Divination on marriage: Not advisable, and it is likely to fail. Divination on childbirth: The child may not be stable, and if the divination is done at night, it suggests a male child. Divination on official rank: If the divination is done in autumn, it is very auspicious; otherwise, it is not advisable. Divination on seeking wealth: It is better to go without money, as bringing money will result in loss. Divination on visiting officials: The person will not be seen. Divination on illness: Children are at risk, and if divined in the卯 month, the illness is dangerous. Divination on lost items: It is possible to find them, but they will be hard to locate. Divination on travel: There may be no support upon arrival. Divination on a traveler: The traveler will arrive soon. Divination on disputes: It is not advisable to rely on powerful families; instead, reconciliation is better. Divination on military matters: There will be losses or soldiers will fall ill.

畢法云：兩貴受克難干貴，支乘墓虎有伏尸；合中犯殺蜜中砒，空空如也事休追。課經訂訛云：丙丁日從革局雖為財，但酉加巳為愁課。蓋酉為秋令肅殺，萬物愁苦也。照膽秘訣云：占宅忌見辰剋日，支干上下休藏鬼。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When two noblemen are both restrained, it is difficult to rely on noble assistance; when the day branch is occupied by theTomb Spirit and also by the White Tiger, there are corpses stored in the house; when there is a harmonious relationship but it involvesInauspicious Sha, it is like sweet honey containing arsenic; if everything is empty, there is no need to investigate further. The "Lunin Ke Jing Ding'E" says: Although the fromge jin structure on丙 day and丁 day is considered wealth, if酉 is placed on巳, it becomes a "chou ke", because酉 belongs to the autumn season's sharp and killing energy, causing all things to feel sorrowful. The "Zhaochan Mijian" says: When predicting the family residence, it is most undesirable to see 辰 restraining the day; neither the heavenly stem nor the earthly branch should conceal official ghosts.

課體：重審，元胎，寡宿。課義：己財先費，眾人懷惠，倘若夜占，一事無濟。解曰：申為丙財，加干發用，而值旬空，是現在己財先耗費矣。初生中亥，中生末寅。寅雖日之長生，然晝乘元武，夜乘白虎，難以倚賴。三傳遞生，徒以我財惠眾，於我何利焉。晝占猶有六合，貴人虛聲相援；夜占則初蛇末虎，於事尤無濟矣。

The lesson pattern is "Re-examination," "Original Embryo," and "Gua Su." The four lines of the lesson meaning state: my wealth is spent first, and others receive my favor; if the divination is cast at night, nothing can be accomplished. Detailed explanation: Shen is the wealth of Bing fire, added to the day stem and initiating the transmission, but it is exactly in the旬空, indicating that my current wealth is being spent first. The first transmission generates the middle transmission of Hai, and the middle transmission generates the final transmission of Yin. Although Yin is the long life of the day, it is supported by Yuan Wu in the day and White Tiger at night, which is unreliable. The three transmissions generate one after another, using my wealth to benefit others, which benefits me nothing. If the divination is cast in the day, there is also the support of Liu He and Nobleman, which is a false display of strength; if cast at night, the first transmission is supported by Teng Snake and the final transmission by White Tiger, making it even more hopeless for the matter.

斷曰：此重審之卦，三傳皆孟，為退步長生，名曰生胎。事主遲而有喜。然初中皆落空陷，費盡辛勤，所求未得。又合中多見刑沖，亦防親匿之間，暗生釁隙。占者每事詳審，勿隳志氣，自有收成，酉年月吉。

General interpretation: This is a "Re-examination" divination, with all three transmissions being of the young god, belonging to "retreating growth," named "birth and infancy." The matter is characterized by slowness but ultimately brings good news. However, the first and second transmissions fall into empty and trapped positions, indicating great effort with little result. Moreover, there are many punishments and clashes among the harmonious elements, so one should beware of hidden disputes between close friends. The person divining should carefully consider all matters, not losing heart, and naturally will achieve success. The years of酉 (Metal Rooster) and months of酉 are favorable.

天時：秋占有雨，餘無雨。家宅：主家道不足。婚姻：不利，晝占吉，又恐不成。胎產：占胎不實，臨產立下。功名：主有人舉薦，然有其心，無其實。求財：無所得。投謁：相得甚歡，卻無實際。疾病：暴病癒，久病難。失脫：難尋，逃亡為關津所獲。出行：不利。行人：未來。爭訟：無實害，然既解，仍懷怨心。兵戰：防失眾，敵無蹤影。

Divination on weather: In autumn, there will be rain, but in other seasons, there will be no rain. Divination on the household: Indicates insufficient resources at home. Divination on marriage: Unfavorable, although the divination for daytime is auspicious, it is still feared that the marriage may not succeed. Divination on pregnancy: The pregnancy is not solid, and the child will be born shortly before delivery. Divination on official rank: Indicates that someone will recommend you, but there is only the intention without the reality. Divination on seeking wealth: Nothing will be obtained. Divination on visiting someone: The visit is pleasant, but there is no real benefit. Divination on illness: A sudden illness can be cured, but a long-term illness is difficult to recover from. Divination on lost items: Difficult to find; a person who has fled will be caught at a checkpoint or ferry. Divination on travel: Unfavorable. Divination on a traveler: The traveler has not yet returned. Divination on disputes: There is no actual harm, but even though the matter has been reconciled, there is still lingering resentment. Divination on military matters: Be cautious of losing troops, but the enemy is not visible.

畢法云：二貴皆空虛喜期，合中犯煞蜜中砒。課經云：三傳遞生，必得眾人之力，始終成就。如值空亡，雖有成就之心，乃閒話多，赤心少。心印賦云：空亡用起喜無成，憂災雖有不為迪。

The *Bi Fa Fu* says: When two noblemen fall into kongwang, it is only a hollow joy; although they are in harmony, they are afflicted byInauspicious Sha, like砒霜 hidden in honey. The *Liu Ren Ke Jing* says: When the three transmissions are successively generated, one will surely gain the support of many and achieve success; but if kongwang occurs, although there is a desire to accomplish things, it will only result in much talk but little sincerity. The *Xin Yin Fu* says: When the kongwang spirit initiates the transmission, joyful matters will ultimately fail; although there may be worries and disasters, they will not really come to pass.

課體：重審，間傳，勵德，登三天。課義：交互六害，各懷駔儈，傳脫刃空，全無倚賴。解曰：子與未穿，巳與寅穿，干支上下交互六害。如我意孟加害於他人，不知他已先辦害我之意，此往彼來，交易險詐，非各懷駔儈而何。全賴動而得吉，庶可免咎。乃三傳初脫干氣，中作丙刃，末陷旬空，尚何恃以無恐乎。

The lesson pattern is "Re-examination," "Intermittent Transmission," "Encouragement of Virtue," and "Ascending to the Third Heaven." The three transmissions are Chen, Wu, and Shen, moving in order through the three heavens, ascending step by step, hence called "Ascending to the Third Heaven." The four lines of the lesson meaning state: The heavenly stems and earthly branches interact, creating six harmful relationships, with both sides harboring mercantile intentions. The three transmissions either exhaust the day stem's energy, or become Yangren, or fall into emptiness, offering nothing to rely upon. Detailed explanation: Zi and Wei are in mutual conflict, Si and Yin are in mutual conflict, and the heavenly stems and earthly branches interact to form six harmful relationships. It is like I intend to harm someone, but I am unaware that they have already prepared to harm me. In this mutual exchange, there is constant danger and deceit, which is nothing but mutual mercantile intentions. One can only rely on movement to achieve good fortune and avoid misfortune. However, in the three transmissions, the first transmission exhausts the day stem's energy, the middle transmission is the Yangren of Bing fire, and the final transmission falls into the empty旬, leaving nothing to rely on and nothing to be fearless about.

斷曰：此重審之卦，順進間傳，為登三天之格。事主由下而上，由晦而明。君子當之有位，彌尊望彌重之象，否則為翰音登天之凶。晝占貴人立酉，宜謹身修德。夜占龍化為蛇，始榮終辱。惟初秋為得其時令，吉可卜也。

General interpretation: This is a "Chong Shen" (Re-examination) divination, with a forward-moving intermediate transmission forming the "Deng San Tian" (Ascending to Three Heavens) pattern. The matter is expected to develop from the bottom up, from obscurity to clarity. If a gentleman divines this, it indicates a gradual rise in official position and increasing reputation; otherwise, it becomes a凶兆 (auspicious omen) like the "Han Yin Deng Yu Tian" (Horned Cry Ascending to Heaven) in the upper ninth line of the Book of Changes, which signifies empty fame without real substance. If the divination is cast during the day, the nobleman is positioned at the You (酉) place, advising caution in self-cultivation and moral development. If cast at night, the Azure Dragon transforms into the Teng Snake, indicating initial honor followed by disgrace. Only in the early autumn season is this divination considered timely and capable of predicting good fortune.

天時：雲蒸雷起，忽復解散，秋占有雨。家宅：貧耗，內外不和，家有壞梯。婚姻：可合而未成。胎產：防有損墮。功名：七月吉，夜占主廷試被斥。求財：費本受驚，終歸無得，秋占有刊。疾病：驟病易好，久病凶。失脫：盜物難獲，逃亡自歸。出行：平穩。行人：子辰日來，晝占有喪車同行。爭訟：事達於上，卻易解散。兵戰：晝占不利，夜占不勝。

Divination on weather: Clouds rise and gather, thunder suddenly erupts, then quickly dissipate; in autumn, rain is expected. Divination on the household: Poverty and loss, internal and external discord, there is a broken ladder in the house. Divination on marriage: It can be successful but has not yet come to pass. Divination on pregnancy: Be cautious of miscarriage. Divination on official rank: July is favorable; if the course is cast at night, it indicates failure in the palace examination. Divination on seeking wealth: Loss of capital and fright, ultimately gaining nothing; in autumn, some profit may be obtained. Divination on illness: Sudden illness is easy to recover from, but chronic illness is dangerous. Divination on lost items: Stolen items are difficult to recover, and the escaped person returns by themselves. Divination on travel: Smooth and safe. Divination on a traveler: Arrives on the day of Zi or Chou; if the course is cast in the daytime, there will be a funeral procession on the way. Divination on disputes: The matter is taken to higher authorities, but it is more likely to be resolved. Divination on military affairs: If the course is cast in the daytime, it is unfavorable; if cast at night, victory is not possible.

畢法云：二貴皆空虛喜期，罡塞鬼戶任謀為。古鑑：己酉十月朔，卯將丑時，戊辰生人占升遷。曰：子日為關，今登天而不過關，目下有阻。白虎入宅臨父母，必主丁艱。申值旬空，行年未上又見空亡，逢空則止，運亦盡矣，後皆驗。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When two noblemen fall into the void, it is just a hollow joy; when the Tiangang blocks the ghost gate, it is just right for free planning. The "Gujian" records a case: On the first day of the tenth lunar month in the Jiyou year, with the卯 general and the丑 time, a person born in the Wuchen year divined about promotion. The interpretation was: The子 day is the key point, although he has now reached the heavenly gate, he cannot pass this gate, there is obstruction now; the White Tiger enters the house and approaches the parent's yao, which indicates the death of the parents; the申 is exactly in the旬 empty, and the未 where the person's current year is also sees the Kongwang, encountering the empty stops, the fortune has reached its end. Later, all these predictions came true.

課體：知一，進茹，驀越。課義：支干拱簇，所虛者祿，夜貴作空，晝貴履獄。解曰：干上乘午，支上乘丑，內拱三傳寅卯辰，所虛者巳為日祿，不足之象。酉乃夜貴，加申落空；亥乃日貴，臨戌入獄，兩貴皆無力也。

The lesson pattern is "Zhi Yi", "Jin Ru", and "Mo Yue": when one bypasses the god that should be taken and instead uses another god to initiate the transmission, it is called "Mo Yue". The four lines of "Ke Yi" say: the heavenly stem and earthly branch enclose the middle positions, and the missing position is precisely the day's禄 (favorable position). The night nobleman falls into an empty position, and the day nobleman is trapped in a prison position. Detailed explanation: the day stem is乘 (occupies)午 (Wu), the day branch is乘丑 (Chou), and in between are the three transmissions寅 (Yin), 卯 (Mao), and 辰 (Chen), which enclose the position. The missing position is巳 (Si), which is the day's禄, indicating a deficiency. 酉 (You) is the night nobleman, which is placed on申 (Shen) and falls into an empty position; 亥 (Hai) is the day nobleman, which is placed on戌 (Xu) and is in a prison position. Both noblemen are ineffective.

斷曰：此知一之卦，三傳順茹，凡事起於同類。又日辰拱夾，前虛德祿兄弟之爻，主名位猶屯，同類不足，小節未完，又驀越用神，盜支生干，為人旺宅衰之象。止宜安守故業，不可妄動，動反生災。寅卯年，春月得之為吉。

Total interpretation: This is a "Zhi Yi" divination lesson, with the three transmissions following in sequence, indicating that all matters originate from peers and similar things. Also, the day and the heavenly stem are both supporting each other, and the missing previous position is exactly the day's virtue, day's fortune, and the爻 of siblings, indicating that one's status is still in difficulty, peers cannot help, and minor issues remain unresolved. Moreover, the method of taking the ruler is abrupt, leading to the depletion of the day's branch to nourish the day's stem, which is an omen of a strong person but a declining dwelling. It is advisable to maintain the old profession and not to act rashly, as any movement may lead to disaster. It is auspicious to receive this lesson in the year of Yin or Mao or in spring.

天時：陰雨，間有日光。家宅：可發丁，宅雖未寧，切不宜遷移。婚姻：和合，宜男，恐不悅於舅姑。胎產：防妊者自恃身壯，反傷胎見血。功名：仕者守部久不選，或有官無俸。求財：冬春有利。投謁：未合。疾病：連綿難愈，若不能飲食者凶。失脫：在東南方，或不離己身，逃亡自歸。出行：不利貴者，常人平平。行人：申末日來。爭訟：事難解散，利客不利主。兵戰：不能取勝。

Divination on weather: There may be occasional sunlight amidst clouds and rain. Divination on the household: There may be a male child added to the family, though the household atmosphere is still unstable, one must not move house. Divination on marriage: The relationship is harmonious, suitable for a male child, but there is a fear that the wife may not please her in-laws. Divination on pregnancy: One should beware that the pregnant woman, relying on her strong health, may injure the fetus and bleed. Divination on official rank: Officials remain in their departments for a long time without being promoted, or hold an official position without salary. Divination on seeking wealth: Favorable in winter and spring. Divination on visiting officials: Not suitable. Divination on illness: The illness is persistent and difficult to cure, if the person cannot eat, it is dangerous. Divination on lost items: In the southeast direction, or perhaps the item has not left the person's side; a person who has run away will return by themselves. Divination on travel: Unfavorable for those with official positions, ordinary people have an average outcome. Divination on a traveler's arrival: He will arrive on the day of Shen or Wei. Divination on disputes: The matter is difficult to resolve, favorable for the guest side and unfavorable for the host side. Divination on military conflict: Unable to win.

畢法云：眷屬豐盈居狹宅，所謀多拙遭羅網，彼此猜忌害相隨。課經云：丑中有牛宿，子中有女宿，丑加子乘太常為牛女相會格。又：傳生支脫干，主人多宅窄，切不可遷居寬廣之屋，反生災咎。袖中金云：順連茹寅卯辰為正和，展經略而果沐恩光。

The "Bi Fa Fu" says: Family members and people are numerous but living in a narrow house; plans are mostly clumsy because they fall into a trap; mutual suspicion leads to harmful influences following. The "Liu Ren Ke Jing" says: In the earthly branch Chou there is the Dipper mansion, and in Zi there is the Girl mansion; when Chou is placed over Zi and carries Tai Chang, it is called the "Ni Nv Xiang Hui Ge." It also says: When the three transmissions are born from the day branch and drain the day stem, it indicates many people but a narrow house; one must not move to a spacious house, as it will invite disaster. The "Xiu Zhong Jin" says: The connected寅,卯,辰 in a smooth sequence is called the "Zheng He" pattern, and implementing strategies will lead to receiving favor and glory.

課體：自信，稼穡，遊子，三奇。課義：身動則徙，彼投於己，兩丁拱墓，靜中動矣。解曰：伏吟見丁而動，今干即是丁，為身自動，而徙干支，支神發用，還傳至干，為彼投於己也。干丁也，支即旬丁，亦丁也。中傳戌為日墓，凡占傳墓事止。今初末兩丁夾之，是於靜之中有動象矣。

The lesson pattern is "Self-Confidence," "Cultivation of Land," "Wandering Child," and "Three Marvels": In aHidden Chant lesson, when the god above the day branch is used as the initiating transmission, it is called "Self-Confidence." The four lines of the lesson meaning state: The day stem itself moves and must migrate, the other party actively comes to me; two丁 gods are sandwiched around the day's墓, containing motive in stillness. Detailed explanation: InHidden Chant lessons, the presence of丁 gods indicates movement. Now the day stem itself is丁, meaning the self initiates and moves the stem and branch. The god above the day branch is used as the initiating transmission, which then returns to the day stem, indicating the other party coming to me. The day stem is丁, and the旬丁 hidden in the day branch is also丁. The middle transmission is戌, which is the墓 god of the day. Any matter entering the墓 stops; however, now the first and final transmissions are both丁 gods, sandwiching the墓 in the middle. Even in stillness, there is a sign of movement.

斷曰：此伏吟自信之卦，本象潛藏伏匿，止而不發。況純土稼穡，為艱難之兆，宜靜以應之。然日辰逢丁，干支上神，兩兩沖動，稼穡化為遊子。若三九月天馬並臨，則有必動之勢。丑未作年命者，占試必中。蓋丑中有斗，未中有鬼，二字合為魁也。

General interpretation: This is a lesson of self-confidence in a hidden chant, with the basic image indicating concealment and restraint, with no action taken. Moreover, the three transmissions are all earth, indicating a sign of difficulty, and it is advisable to respond with stillness. However, both the day and the month are encountering the spirit of Ding, and the heavenly stem and earthly branch are mutually exciting, turning the harvest into "wandering sons." If in March or September the heavenly horse is also present, there will be an inevitable need for action. Those whose destiny is based on the earthly branches of Chou and Wei will certainly pass the examination, because Chou contains the Dipper mansion and Wei contains the Ghost mansion, and the combination of Dipper and Ghost forms the character "Kui."

天時：陰多雨少。田禾：可得豐收，終防虛耗。家宅：不宜動土，恐致口舌。婚姻：主田家女，或庫吏家女，入贅吉。胎產：不佳。功名：若屯田版築等官，必得異擢，餘不利。求財：無得且有耗折。投謁：不值。疾病：主脾洩積聚，難愈。失脫：難追。出行：主有私孟事，或往婦女家。行人：飄流未歸，或有私戀。爭訟：主爭奪田產。兵戰：吉，尤利屯田。

Divination on the weather: cloudy days are frequent with little rain. Divination on crops: a good harvest is expected, but one should still be cautious of ending up working hard for nothing. Divination on the household: it is not advisable to break ground, as it may bring about disputes. Divination on marriage: the person is likely the daughter of a farmer or the daughter of a warehouse official, and a marriage with her is auspicious. Divination on pregnancy: not favorable. Divination on official rank: if the position involves屯田 or construction, promotion is certain, but other positions are unfavorable. Divination on seeking wealth: it cannot be obtained and there will be losses. Divination on seeking an audience: no success. Divination on illness: it indicates spleen deficiency, diarrhea, and accumulation inside the abdomen, which are difficult to cure. Divination on lost items: they cannot be recovered. Divination on travel: it indicates private matters or visits to women's homes. Divination on a traveler: the person is away and has not returned, or is involved in some secret affair. Divination on disputes: it indicates a dispute over land. Divination on military matters: favorable, especially for屯田.

畢法云：費有餘而得不足，彼求我事支傳干。課經云：交車沖，不論親疏，先合後離。指竅云：凡逆傳四季者，春占越庫，散財不以其道；夏占傳魁，委用不得其人；秋占殺墓，勢將興而將起；冬占伏陰，機漸收而漸藏。

The "Bifa Fu" says: Expenditure exceeds income, and what is obtained is insufficient; when the other party seeks me, it is when the day branch transmits to the day stem. The "Liu Ren Ke Jing" says: In a lesson where vehicles cross and conflict, regardless of kinship, it first unites and then separates. The "Zhi Qiao" says: Whenever the three transmissions go in reverse and involve the seasons of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, in spring it is called "yue ku," indicating dispersal of wealth without proper means; in summer it is called "chuan kui," indicating improper use of people; in autumn it is called "sha mu," indicating rising momentum that has not yet fully developed; in winter it is called "fu yin," indicating gradually concealed opportunities.

課體：重審，退茹。課義：晝祿虎邊，遂謁三傳，隨鬼歸墓，終受淹纏。解曰：午為丁祿臨日，然晝占乘白虎，不可守也。遂動而投於三傳，初傳子鬼，中傳亥鬼，而人在末傳之戌墓，始終受淹纏昏滯之咎而已。子鬼坐丑方受克，似不能為害。然丁課坐未，與之沖動，亦未見安寧也。

The lesson pattern is "Chong Shen" and "Tui Ru." The four lines of the lesson meaning explain that on a daytime divination, the day's official (禄) falls next to the White Tiger, thus moving into the three transmissions; then following the official ghost (官鬼), it returns to the tomb, always being entangled. Detailed explanation: Wu is the禄 of Ding fire, which is on the day's position, but since the daytime divination uses the White Tiger, it cannot remain still and thus moves into the three transmissions: the first transmission is Zi, which is the official ghost, the middle transmission is Hai, also the official ghost, and finally it falls into Xu, the tomb, thus always resulting in entanglement and stagnation. The official ghost Zi sits on Chou and is being restrained, seemingly unable to cause harm; however, the lodging palace of Ding is located at Wei, which conflicts with Chou and thus agitates it, so there is no peace to be found.

斷曰：此重審之卦，逆傳連茹，利為主而後動。長上有厄，事從內起，咎由婦人，往多不順，詳審後行則吉。在君子則有不終家食之象，然志孟扶搖，身仍淹滯。在常人則為破產、涉訟之象。大約半生磨折，始就安逸也。百凡有始鮮終。

General interpretation: This is a "Chong Shen" (re-examination) divination, with the three transmissions in reverse order connected together, favorable for the main party to take initiative later. The elder has misfortune, the matter arises from within, and the fault comes from the woman. Going forward is mostly unsmooth, and only after careful consideration and then taking action will it be auspicious. For a gentleman, it signifies an inability to remain at home enjoying official salary for a long time; although there is an ambition to rise rapidly, the body remains restrained. For an ordinary person, it indicates bankruptcy and legal disputes. It will take about half a lifetime of hardship before things become peaceful, and all matters have a beginning but no end.

天時：多雨久陰。家宅：人旺不宜買奴婢，主時有官非盜失。婚姻：主有官訟，久始得合。胎產：主女，即產。功名：必歷兩官，後見蹭蹬。求財：有損無益。疾病：難安，亦不大凶。失脫：夜占反受賊累，為官所詐。出行：不利，未遠即返。行人：即至。爭訟：晝占宜求貴助，夜占不利。兵戰：宜用權變，恐不果斷。

Divination on weather: there will be much rain and prolonged overcast skies. Divination on the household: the population will be flourishing, but it is not advisable to buy servants or slaves, as there will be frequent lawsuits and thefts. Divination on marriage: there will be legal disputes involved, and it will take a long time to succeed. Divination on pregnancy: it indicates the birth of a daughter, followed by imminent childbirth. Divination on official rank: one must hold positions in two different places, and afterwards will encounter obstacles at every step. Divination on seeking wealth: there will be loss without gain. Divination on illness: the condition will not be easy to recover from, but it is not a major disaster. Divination on lost items: if the divination is cast at night, it will result in being troubled by thieves and being harassed by the authorities. Divination on travel: it is unfavorable, and one will have to return before going far. Divination on a traveler: the traveler will arrive immediately. Divination on disputes: if the divination is cast in the daytime, it is advisable to seek help from a nobleman; if cast at night, it is unfavorable. Divination on military matters: it is advisable to be flexible and adaptable, but one should fear lack of decisiveness.

畢法云：鬼乘天乙乃神祇，將逢內戰所謀危。袖中金云：重陰安嘉遁之貞，寧甘沒齒。古鑑：午將加未占前程曰：丁德在午，亥為上德，子為紫微，丑為北斗，主有陰德洪大。傳遁乙丙丁三奇，貴人在中，午祿扶身乘虎，行年催官，子蛇前引，必得高第，小則郎官，大則侍從，未易量也。俱驗。

The "Bifa Fu" says: If the official ghost is riding on the heavenly virtue nobleman, it indicates divine spirits causing trouble; if the heavenly general encounters internal conflict, the matter in question is dangerous. The "Xiu Zhong Jin" says: Accumulated yin energy corresponds to the meaning of the "Yijing" Duan hexagram "Jia Dun Zhen Ji" (favorable retreat and sincerity bring good fortune), so it is better to remain in seclusion and live out one's days. The "Gu Jian" records a case: When the hour of wu is added to the hour of wei, the fortune of the future was predicted as follows: The virtue deity of ding is in wu, hai is the upper virtue, zi is ziwu, and chou is beidou, indicating great yin virtue; the three transmissions of the ten days' retreat obtain the three marvels, yi, bing, and ding, with the nobleman residing among them. The heavenly virtue rides on the wu official and is supported by the white tiger; the person's current year also promotes officialdom. The teng snake is in front of zi, leading the way, so he will certainly pass the examination with a high rank, at the very least becoming a deputy official, and at the very most entering the court service, with an unlimited future. All of this later came true.
