On the Jichou day, sixth arrangement: stem on寅 (Tiger)

課體：重審，斫輪，四絕，羅網。課義：寅卯兩木，災禍相逐，夜貴入宅，祛殃降福。解曰：寅加日上，卯發初傳，兩木並來克身，災禍相逐，宜不可逃矣。喜夜貴在申，來臨丑宅，於以制寅卯而扶己土。殃不由是而祛，福不由是而降乎。鬼助末傳生干，是謂引鬼為生，亦主先凶後吉。晝占簾幕臨支，士人得之亦利。

The lesson pattern is determined as "Chong Shen," "Zhuo Lun," "Si Jue," and "Luo Wang." "Zhuo Lun" refers to the image of a hammer cutting and shaping a cart wheel, which requires refinement to become a useful tool; "Si Jue" means that all four lessons are in the position of absolute decline; "Luo Wang" indicates that the three transmissions form a ghostly pattern that encircles the person. The lesson meaning states that the two layers of wood energy from寅 and卯 bring continuous misfortunes; during the night, the nobleman enters the family residence, driving away calamities and bringing blessings. The explanation says that寅 is placed on the day stem, and卯 begins the first transmission, with both layers of wood energy attacking the body, causing continuous misfortunes, which seem unavoidable. Fortunately, the night nobleman is in申 and arrives at丑, the family residence, using it to control寅 and卯 and support the己 earth. Thus, calamities are driven away and blessings are brought about. The official ghost assists the final transmission in benefiting the day stem, which is called "leading the ghost to benefit the self," indicating a transition from misfortune to good fortune. If this is divined in the daytime, the curtain nobleman is on the day branch, and it is also beneficial for scholars.

斷曰：重審之卦，格合斫輪，主先歷艱難，後得成就。卯為車輪，加申為斧斤斫削。更喜戌工為印，白虎催官，土日得之，亦名流轉。仕宦極為佳兆，常人不宜。

This is a卦 of re-examination, with a structure matching that of "chopping the wheel." It indicates that one will first experience some difficulties before achieving success. The卯 wood is like a wheel, placed on申 metal represents a斧 head cutting and shaping. More importantly, the戌 earth serves as the official seal, and the White Tiger hastens official position. When the day is earth day, it is called "flowing transfer." Officials encountering this are very auspicious, but ordinary people are not suitable.

天時：晝占主雨，夜占主風。家宅：必有科第，門列旗杆。婚姻：未成。胎產：不宜。功名：大吉，宜正取之。求財：不得。投謁：未和。疾病：大忌，夜虎乘卯鬼，為棺槨之象。失脫：遠去。出行：赴官吉利。行人：在道，或遇喪車，或遇軒冕同行。爭訟：大有憂患。兵戰：宜慎。墳葬：父爻乘晝虎坐墓，主父母墓中生白蟻。

Heavenly Time: During the day, the divination indicates rain; at night, it indicates wind. Family Affairs: A person in the family will certainly pass the imperial examination and achieve success, with a flagpole erected in front of the door. Marriage: No success. Pregnancy and Childbirth: Not advisable. Official Rank: Very auspicious, one should pursue the proper path. Seeking Wealth: Not obtainable. Visiting Officials: Not yet settled. Illness: Highly inauspicious; at night, the White Tiger occupies the卯 wood official ghost, indicating the image of a coffin. Loss and Theft: Lost items have gone far. Travel: Going to take office is auspicious. Travelers: On the way, or encountering a funeral vehicle, or traveling with a high-ranking official. Disputes: Great worries. Warfare: Should be cautious. Burial: The parents' yao (line) rides on the White Tiger during the day and sits on the tomb, indicating white ants in the parents' graves.

畢法云：制鬼之位乃良醫，常問不應逢吉象。指南：庚午年寅將，一縣令占人覲考選。課得斫輪，日上天吏官德，坐於空墓，陰神酉制之，必有明暗相攻，不得翰林銓部。卯官乘元武發用，中傳朱雀主言路，末傳白虎主風力，必得垣中。歷遷都憲，巡撫東方。宅上子孫乘簾幕貴人，又作長生學堂，當有貴子，由科甲入翰林也，後皆如言。

The "Bifa Fu" states: The one who can subdue the official ghost is the good physician; when ordinary inquiries meet auspicious signs, they often fail to materialize. The "Liu Ren Zhi Nan" records: In the year of Gengwu, using the寅 general, there was a county magistrate who divined for someone after a court audience with the emperor. The divination resulted in the "Zhuo Lun" lesson, with the day stem bearing the heavenly official and moral virtue, yet sitting on Kongwang and Muku, with the hidden spirit酉 metal controlling it. There must be covert attacks, and he would not enter the Hanlin Academy or the Ministry of Personnel. The卯 wood official star, riding the Black Tortoise, issued the first transmission; the middle transmission, riding the Vermilion Bird, indicated official remonstrance; the final transmission, riding the White Tiger, signified swift action. He would certainly enter the Ducha Yuan. Later, he was promoted successively to the Grand Censor and appointed as the governor of the eastern region. The house's grandson yao rode the curtain and nobleman, also serving as the growth academy, indicating a noble son, entering the Hanlin Academy through the imperial examination, and all these predictions were fulfilled.

課體：反吟，無親，淫佚。課義：往來相會，丁馬並至，動可取財，守之無利。解曰：干支上下，不出丑未二字，往來相會。亥獨發用，既為日財，又為丁馬。動而之傳，財可得也。若但守干支，丑未內外反覆，動而不動，行而不行，終無所利矣。

The lesson pattern is determined as "Reverse Chant," "No Kinship," and "Lasciviousness." Reverse Chant refers to a situation where the Heaven Plate and Earth Plate are in constant opposition, with their movements reversed. No Kinship means that among the four lessons, there is no instance of mutual control, and nothing can be relied upon. Lasciviousness refers to improper conduct in matters of intimacy. The lesson meaning states that丑 and 未 are coming together, with the旬丁 and the Post-horse arriving at the same time. If action is taken, wealth can be obtained; but if one remains stationary, there is no benefit. Explanation: The day stem and day branch's upper and lower positions only move between 丑 and 未, meeting only in these two positions. Only 亥 starts the first transmission, which is both the wealth element of the己 day and the旬丁 combined with the Post-horse. If one moves along with the three transmissions, wealth can be obtained; but if one remains fixed at the stem and branch without movement, the 丑 and 未 continue to interact internally and externally, resulting in no actual movement or progress, and ultimately no benefit.

斷曰：此反吟無親之卦，取丑中癸水，遙射巳宮丙火，以巳上亥神為用。如傍井倚欄，斜沖射之，不出井外。主上下暌隔，彼此憂疑。直道難容，旁求易就。一身兩用，動則相宜，靜則反擾。末傳坐空，實事消磨，虛驚亦散。

This is a卦 with reverse chant and no close affinity. Taking the癸 water hidden in the丑, it remotely shoots towards the丙 fire in the巳 palace. Thus, the first transmission is issued by the亥 god above the巳. It is like a person leaning against a well's rim shooting diagonally inward, ultimately unable to go beyond the well's mouth. This indicates obstruction between upper and lower, mutual anxiety and suspicion. Going the proper way is difficult to be accepted, but seeking from the side is easier to accomplish. One person acting in two ways, movement is suitable, but stillness is disturbed. The final transmission sits on the empty void, real matters are worn down, and false alarms also dissipate.

天時：多雨，時止時作。家宅：不寧，或有嫁娶喜事，或防男女奸私。婚姻：往來和合，恐非正禮。功名：屢勞心力，恐終未遂。求財：宜動以取之，或因妻財而有動。疾病：得之財色，反覆不一，暴病有解，久病不吉。失脫：勿尋，逃亡勿追。出行：傍徨不定，終不成行。行人：將近復遠。爭訟：反覆，終得解散。兵戰：無利。

Heavenly conditions: frequent rain, stopping and starting. Home: not peaceful, or there may be a marriage, or there may be worries about private relationships between men and women. Marriage: mutual coming and going, but beware of not following proper etiquette. Career: repeated efforts and worries, perhaps ultimately not achieving success. Seeking wealth: one should set out to obtain it, or there may be actions related to the wife's wealth. Disease: illness arises from wealth and desires, recurring and unstable; sudden illness may be resolved, but long-term illness is not auspicious. Loss: there is no need to search, and those who have run away should not be pursued. Travel: indecisive, ultimately not able to go. Traveler: seems close, but then goes away. Disputes: back and forth, eventually resolved. Warfare: no benefit.

畢法云：后合占婚豈用媒，來去俱空豈動移。指要云：井欄射取傳，占事難成易破，雖遇吉神，亦是半遂。又云：反覆不定，病主兩症。中黃經云：六合從來福遂佳，乘於巳亥遠天涯。神將論云：登明乘六合為小兒，木到亥上方生故也。乘蛇主哀哭。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When the Heavenly Empress combines with Liu He to predict marriage matters, there is no need for a matchmaker; if both ends come and go and fall into Kongwang, there is no talk of movement. The "Zhiyao" says: The three transmissions formed by shooting the well frame indicate that affairs are difficult to succeed and prone to failure; even if encountering auspicious deities, only half of the wishes can be fulfilled. It also says: Those that are unstable indicate two symptoms for illness. The "Zhonghuang Jing" says: Liu He is usually a good general for auspiciousness and smoothness; if it rides on the positions of巳 or亥, then one should expect to travel far away. The "Shenjiang Lun" says: Dengming, the water of亥, riding on Liu He indicates a child, because wood begins its growth at亥; if it rides on Teng Snake, it indicates crying.

課體：知一，鑄印，勵德。課義：先沖後擊，交後有益，末助初生，如砒在蜜。解曰：子午丑未，干支上下交沖。而子未午丑，干支又各自相害，為先沖後擊之象。午與未合而生日，子與丑合而為財，交車相合，交關利益也。末傳卯助初巳而生干，如蜜之甘；然卯又徑來克干，如砒之毒，其生克倚伏如此。

The lesson pattern is determined as "Zhi Yi", "Zhu Yin", and "Li De": "Zhu Yin" refers to the image of melting metal with巳 fire to cast an official seal, indicating the appointment or transfer of official positions. The lesson meaning states: first there is mutual conflict, then mutual attack; after mutual interaction, there is benefit; the final transmission supports the initial transmission in benefiting the day stem, like arsenic hidden in honey. Explanation: The day stem and day branch, such as Zi and Wu, Chou and Wei, are in opposition; meanwhile, Zi and Wei, Wu and Chou, are in mutual harm between the heavenly stem and earthly branch, forming the image of first conflict then mutual attack. Wu and Wei combine to benefit the day stem, and Zi and Chou combine to form the wealth trigram, indicating mutual exchange and benefit. The final transmission, which is卯 wood, supports the initial transmission,巳 fire, in benefiting the day stem, sweet like honey; yet卯 wood directly attacks the day stem, poisonous like arsenic—thus, generation and destruction are interdependent.

斷曰：此比用知一之卦，事有兩端。察其同異，舍遠就近，舍疏就親。信裡生疑，恩中起怨。格名鑄印，兼號乘軒。常人得之不宜，仕宦見之大吉。但驛馬六合，惜坐空鄉，猶非真體。仲夏月占，方合格也。

The interpretation: This is a divination using the Know One hexagram, indicating that the matter has two threads. One must distinguish between what is the same and what is different, abandoning the distant for the near, and the distant for the close. Trust can give rise to suspicion, and affection may lead to resentment. The pattern is called Casting Seal, and it also includes the title of Riding in a State Coach. Common people who divinate this will find it unsuitable, but officials who see it will find it very auspicious. However, theThe Post-horse andLiu He are unfortunate, sitting in the empty and lost place, so they are not truly of the proper pattern. It is only suitable when divined in midsummer May.

天時：子亥坐空，每作風雨之勢而不成。家宅：仕宦而出，宅空吉利，常占有災，妨損妻財。婚姻：不利。胎產：胎不實，產即下。功名：大吉之兆，嫌貴人祿馬俱空，必五六月占始佳。求財：所得輕微。投謁：好處生嗔。疾病：凶，尤忌占妻病。失脫：難得。出行：宜上官之任，餘無利。行人：必歸。爭訟：難和，容忍為上。兵戰：不利，先難後易。

Heavenly conditions: Zi and Hai are both in Kongwang, often showing signs of rain and wind but failing to produce actual rain. Family dwelling: For those born into an official family, the dwelling falling in Kongwang is actually auspicious; for ordinary people, it indicates misfortune, causing harm to wife and wealth. Marriage: Unfavorable. Pregnancy: The fetal energy is weak; if the divination is about childbirth, the child will be born shortly. Official rank: This is a great auspicious sign, but it is regrettable that both the nobleman and the official's luck fall in Kongwang. It is best to divinate in May or June. Seeking wealth: The gain will be slight. Seeking an audience: Good intentions may lead to annoyance. Illness: Dangerous, especially if the divination concerns the wife's illness. Loss: Difficult to recover. Travel: Suitable for taking up an official position, but not beneficial for other travel. Traveler: Will certainly return. Dispute: Hard to resolve; patience and yielding are advisable. Warfare: Unfavorable, difficult at first but easier later.

畢法云：權攝不正祿臨支，彼此猜忌害相隨。課經云：晝貴臨身，而朱雀乘戌克之，為貴人忌憚格，告貴無益。袖中金云：鑄印主官祿遷擢之象。不見太陰天馬，即非真體。常人反生災，且為事遲鈍。

The *Bifa Fu* says: If someone is acting in an official capacity but their position is not properly established, look at the禄神 (favorable deity) located in the day branch. If there is mutual suspicion, look at the six harmful influences following. The *Ke Jing* says: If the nobleman (贵人) appears in the day's self position during the day, and the Vermilion Bird (朱雀) rides on the戌 earth branch to overcome it, this is called the "Nobleman's Caution Pattern." In such a case, approaching the nobleman to report matters is ineffective. The *Xiu Zhong Jin* says: Casting an official seal indicates the image of official rank, salary, promotion, and appointment. If the Tai Yin and Heavenly Horse are not present, it is not a true pattern. Common people may suffer misfortune because of this, and their affairs will be slow and inefficient.

課體：涉害，從革。課義：丁馬載財，傳局生來，啟齒便得，閉口無災。解曰：亥為日財，丁馬載之，來加日上，而三傳會成金局生之。酉類為口竅唇舌，故一啟齒，便可得生財之益也。末巳為旬尾，晝虎夜武而臨宅上，閉口謹言，乃免災咎。

The lesson pattern is determined as "Involvement of Harm" and "Metallurgical Transformation." The lesson meaning states: the tenth heavenly stem and the post-horse are carrying the wealth element to come, and the three transmissions form a circle to generate it again; speaking out immediately brings gain, while keeping silent avoids disaster. Explanation: the water in the hour亥 is the wealth element of the day stem己. The tenth heavenly stem and the post-horse are carrying it, and it is placed upon the day stem. The three transmissions form a metal circle to generate this wealth. The酉 belongs to the category of mouth and tongue, so as soon as one speaks, the benefit of generating wealth is obtained. The final transmission巳 is the last in this ten-day cycle. During the day it is ridden by the white tiger and at night by the black tortoise, pressing upon the house. Therefore, one must keep silent to avoid disaster.

斷曰：此涉害之卦，合從革之局，事多險阻，心費機關。孟上神發用，主狐疑反覆。有氣則革而增進，無氣則革而退失。酉加巳為愁課。又將得後武，盜其金氣，名從革不革，得六合亦主孟動未能。

This is a卦 of involvement and harm, and it forms a situation of transformation and metal. There are many obstacles in the matter, and one must use great ingenuity in the mind. The first transmission comes from the upper god of the four beginning months, indicating hesitation and indecision, with repeated changes. The third transmission, if it has energy, will promote change; if it lacks energy, it will lead to failure in change. When酉 is placed on巳, it is called "grief lesson." Adding the heavenly general results in the Heavenly Empress and the Black Tortoise, which leak the golden energy of that situation, hence called "transformation of metal but not completed"; even if theLiu He is obtained, it indicates an intention to act but failure to act.

天時：多燥風，有雨不大。家宅：虛耗，又凶將閉口加宅，主有災患，不能明言。婚姻：不宜用。胎產：胎坐長生，胎安產凶。功名：不利，勿入私門，徒有耗失。求財：先費後償，宜索債負。疾病：主在肺及筋骨虛弱，不妨。失脫：主為喜事中失脫，或隨身婢僕。出行：有驚多費。行人：即至。爭訟：驚憂百出，宜用賄央情。兵戰：不利。

Heavenly Conditions: There is mostly dry wind, though there is some rain, but it is not heavy. Family Residence: The residence is in a state of emptiness and loss, with aInauspicious General (malevolent general) bringing an image of closure pressing upon the house, indicating disaster that cannot be expressed. Marriage: Not suitable. Pregnancy and Childbirth: TheFetal Spirit (fetus spirit) is seated in the position ofGrowth (growth), so the fetal energy is stable but childbirth is dangerous. Achieving Fame and Status: Unfavorable, do not take private routes, which will result in unnecessary loss. Seeking Wealth: There will be initial expenses followed by repayment; it is suitable to collect old debts. Disease: The illness is located in the lungs and there is weakness in the tendons and bones, but it is not serious. Loss and Theft: The loss occurs in a joyful occasion, or it is caused by a servant or maid. Traveling: There will be fright and high expenses. Traveler's Arrival: The traveler will arrive soon. Disputes: There will be continuous disturbances and worries; it is suitable to use money to plead and seek favor. Military Conflict: Unfavorable.

畢法云：晝夜貴加求兩貴。課經云：金局須脫干氣，而生起日財，名為取還魂債。古鑑：寅將占失物。酉發用，其類為婦人，又為金釵之屬。加巳乃長生之地，不落空亡，又是三合金局，其物不失，現在爐灶灰中。尋之果獲。指掌賦云：酉丑巳為獻刃，遠近俱被其傷。

The "Bifa Fu" says: If the nobleman appears at both day and night, one can seek help from both noblemen simultaneously. The "Ke Jing" says: For a metal formation, one must first release the energy of the day stem, then let the wealth hexagram return to nourish the day stem, which is called "taking back the soul debt." The "Gu Jian" records: When using the寅 general to find lost items, the酉 is placed as the first transmission, and the class god of酉 is a woman, belonging to the category of gold hairpins; since酉 is placed on the巳, which is the place of growth, it does not fall into kongwang, and forms a triple harmony of metal, so the item was not lost, but was found in the stove ashes. The "Zhi Zhang Fu" says: The three transmissions of酉, 丑, and巳 are called "presenting the blade," and both near and far people will be harmed by it.

課體：昴星，二煩，勵德。課義：三奇昴星，晝盜兼刑，魁罡並現，動不容停。解曰：昴星俯視，初傳得午。中末干支上神，己日元遁，得甲戌、戊辰、庚午，合地上三奇甲戊庚之局。晝占用神，空上逢空。中戌乘雀加日，必見盜脫。戌刑日干，丑又刑戌，辰午亦皆自刑也。課傳魁罡疊見，動作非常，不容自己。

The lesson pattern is determined as "昴星" (昴 Star), "二烦" (Two Troubles), and "励德" (Encouraging Virtue): "二烦" refers to both heaven and earth being troubled, with the middle god added and causing confusion and disorder. The lesson meaning states: the three marvels and昴 star appear at the same time; during the day, the divination encounters both theft and punishment. The Hekui and Tiangang appear together, and once movement begins, it cannot be stopped. Explanation: the昴 star lesson uses the method of looking downward. The first transmission is obtained as Wu. The middle and final transmissions are derived from the upper gods of the day stem and branch. On the sixth day, using the original retreat method, we get Jiaxu, Wuchen, and Gengwu, which exactly match the pattern of the three marvels on the earth. During the day, the initiating transmission god falls into an empty position and meets an empty position. The middle transmission,戌 earth, is riding on the Vermilion Bird and added to the day stem, which certainly leads to theft and loss.戌 earth is in self-punishment with the day stem己 earth, and丑 also punishes戌.辰 and午 are also self-punishing. In the lesson and transmissions, the Hekui and Tiangang appear together, indicating extraordinary action that cannot be stopped.

斷曰：此冬蛇掩目之卦，闇昧不明，進退無據。雖午加卯為明堂，主萬事昌隆，遇凶成吉。奈午值旬空，孤辰發用，凡占多虛少實，止利僧道九流。又地上三奇，用空而奇精有損，其福頓減。又為天地二煩，卻反喜用空而仲神無氣，其禍亦散也。

This is a hexagram of winter snake covering its eyes, indicating darkness and confusion, with no clear basis for advancement or retreat. Although the noon (午) is placed on the卯, which is called "Bright Hall," indicating prosperity and turning misfortune into good fortune, the noon is actually in the旬空, and the first transmission is initiated by Guchen. Therefore, in most divinations, there is more emptiness than reality, benefiting only monks, Taoists, and practitioners. Moreover, although the three marvels are good on the ground, their initiating transmission falls into emptiness, causing damage to the essence of the marvels' energy and a sudden decrease in fortune. This situation is also marked by the heavens and earth being troubled, and it actually prefers the initiating transmission to fall into emptiness and the middle god to have no vitality, thus the calamity will be dispelled.

天時：求晴得陰，求雨得風。家宅：主有田土鬥爭之事，正五九月防有火驚。婚姻：不宜，亦不成。胎產：恐胎臨死敗，不吉。功名：雖有意外之遇，卻無實際，且防同輩暗損。求財：勞多獲少。疾病：主脾病虛熱，暴病不妨，久病凶。失脫：難尋。出行：有憂難，難中有喜。行人：先有信至。爭訟：公事昭彰，不利私暗，主爭田土屋宅。兵戰：不利。墳葬：主墳前多空地，或見驚怪，或起爭端。

Heavenly conditions: Seeking clear weather results in cloudy skies, seeking rain results in strong winds. Home affairs: There will be disputes over land and property, and there is a risk of fire accidents in the first, fifth, and ninth months. Marriage: Not suitable for discussion, and if discussed, it will not succeed. Pregnancy: There is a fear that the fetal deity is located in a place of death and decline, which is unfavorable. Achievements: Although there may be unexpected opportunities, they will not lead to actual results, and one should also be cautious of sabotage by peers. Seeking wealth: Much labor with little gain. Illness: Indicates spleen disease with internal heat, sudden illness is not serious, but chronic illness is dangerous. Loss: Difficult to recover. Travel: There will be worries and difficulties, but amidst the difficulties there is also some joy. Travelers: There will be a letter arriving first. Disputes: Public matters will be clear and evident, but private actions will be disadvantageous, leading to disputes over land and property. Warfare: Unfavorable. Burial: The grave site will have much empty land, or strange occurrences may occur, or disputes may arise.

畢法云：尊崇傳內遇三奇，空上逢空事莫追。袖中金云：卦如冬蛇蟄藏，掩目不動。事多隱伏於內，猶豫驚恐。指掌賦云：昴星如虎對立視，俯仰以卜遠近之憂危。言殺氣至酉而盛，陰陽無克，乃從至陰處，討出消息來也。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When a person of high status encounters the Three Marvels within the three transmissions, it is most precious; if there is another Kongwang above Kongwang, there is no need to pursue further. The "Xiu Zhong Jin" says: This hexagram is like a snake in hibernation, hidden and stored, with eyes closed and motionless; the matter is mostly concealed internally, and people tend to be hesitant and fearful. The "Zhi Zhang Fu" says: The昴star lesson is like two tigers facing each other, with one looking down and the other looking up, predicting distant and near dangers. This refers to the killing qi reaching the You position and being most intense, with yin and yang not attacking each other, and messages can only be obtained from the utmost yin.

課體：元首，間傳，迎陽。課義：敗中藏慝，卯木入宅，外勾裡連，兩貴煩劇。解曰：己土敗於酉，酉臨干上，又旬遁為乙鬼，至惡也。辛卯入宅發用，且脫且克。又為日鬼，自宅中而出，是謂外勾裡連。晝貴入獄，夜貴受克，兩貴煩劇，干之必怒也。

The lesson pattern is determined as "Yuan Shou," "Jian Chuan," and "Ying Yang." Yuan Shou refers to the case where among the four lessons there is only one instance of an upper element overcoming a lower one, and the initiating transmission is taken from that lesson. Ying Yang refers to the three transmissions moving from east to south through the branches of卯, 巳, and 未, following the rising yang energy. The lesson meaning states: in a defeated position, there is hidden evil; the卯 wood enters the family dwelling; there is external collusion and internal connection; both the day and night noblemen are disturbed beyond endurance. Explanation: the己 earth is defeated by酉, and酉 is above the day stem. In the ten-day cycle, it transforms into the乙 wood official ghost, which is extremely evil. TheXinmao enters the family dwelling and initiates the first transmission, both releasing and overcoming; it is also the official ghost of the己 day, emerging from the dwelling, which is called external collusion and internal connection. The day nobleman falls into captivity, and the night nobleman is also restrained, causing both noblemen to be greatly disturbed, and the day stem is certain to become angry.

斷曰：此元首之卦，以尊制卑。事由男子，正大光明，利於先舉。但外來克內，干上又逢脫敗，主客互相沖擊，其象不和，必循理而行，斯無悔咎。

This is the卦 of the sovereign, where the noble side subdues the humble side. The matter is initiated by a man, proceeding with integrity and clarity, favorable for taking the initiative. However, an external deity overcomes the internal, and the day stem encounters leakage, loss, and decline, indicating conflict between host and guest, an inharmonious situation. It is necessary to act according to reason to avoid regret and misfortune.

天時：先見風及雷電，雨遲至。家宅：人宅俱耗，防子孫脫漏之事。婚姻：不宜。胎產：胎坐日墓，不安。功名：可得，防以私門致敗。求財：主為病訟所耗。投謁：不和，防見怒於貴人。疾病：有祟，宜破財。失脫：不獲。出行：未利，反利陰謀逃竄。行人：尚遠。爭訟：防有指唆，內外勾連，不宜托勢。兵戰：晝占不利，夜占大勝。

Heavenly Weather: Wind comes first, then thunder and lightning, and rain comes late. Family: Both people and the house suffer losses, be careful of children going missing or being lost. Marriage: Not suitable. Pregnancy: The fetal god is sitting on the day stem's tomb, causing instability in the fetal energy. Achieving fame: It can be obtained, but be careful of failure due to private connections. Seeking wealth: It is mainly consumed by illness and legal disputes. Seeking an audience: It is not harmonious, be careful of angering the nobleman. Disease: There are ghosts causing trouble, it is suitable to spend money to appease them. Loss: Things cannot be found. Travel: Not favorable, but it is favorable for secret planning to escape. Traveler: Still far away. Dispute: Be careful of someone inciting from inside and outside, do not rely on power. Warfare: Unfavorable during the day, favorable for a great victory at night.

畢法云：兩貴受克難干貴，罡塞鬼戶任謀為。指掌賦云：卯巳未為迎陽，鳴高岡之鸞鳳，占事宜速就，稍遲則無氣矣。指南：甲申年五月午時，日旁大暈圍繞，眾以為瑞，因就午將正時，占得此卦。發用元武，克干克支，夫干為天位，而乘敗氣。支為社稷，而見死神。歲君臨滅沒之方，貴人入囚辱之地，何瑞之有，果然。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When two noblemen are both restrained, it is difficult to rely on them; when the Tiangang blocks the ghost's entrance, one may freely plan. The "Zhipang Fu" says: The three transmissions of卯, 巳, and 未 are called "Yingyang," like the phoenixes and cranes calling on a high hill, so matters should be handled quickly; any delay will lose momentum. The "Lunin Zhi Nan" records: In the year Jiashen, fifth lunar month, at the hour of Wu, there was a large halo around the sun, and everyone regarded it as a good omen, so they used the hour of Wu as the main time to divinate this hexagram. The Black Tortoise issued the first transmission, which both restrained the day stem and the day branch; the day stem, being the position of the emperor, was riding on a declining energy; the day branch, being the state's foundation, encountered the Death Deity; the year's master was located in the direction of decline, and the nobleman fell into a place of humiliation—how could this be considered a good omen? Later, it indeed came true.

課體：元首，進茹，羅網，正和。課義：三傳剋日，夜貴臨吉，或蒙神佑，利卜官秩。解曰：寅卯辰亦號木局，三傳皆為日鬼，其勢不可當矣。喜夜貴在申，金可制木，來加干上，足以拒鬼而護干，不啻蒙吉神之佑也。常占得此，為遇患有救。惟仕宦者占之，為德高官顯，生貴臨身，吉無不利也。

The lesson pattern is identified as "Yuan Shou," "Jin Ru," "Luo Wang," and "Zheng He." "Jin Ru" refers to the three transmissions progressing in order, like pulling out a reed and pulling others along. "Zheng He" refers to the combination of Yin, Mao, and Chen, which are all in the eastern direction, forming a harmonious and proper pattern. The lesson meaning states that all three transmissions come to overcome the day stem; during the night, the nobleman is in a favorable position, as if receiving divine protection; it is favorable for questioning about official rank. Explanation: Yin, Mao, and Chen are also called the wood trinity, and all three transmissions are the official ghosts of the day stem, coming with great force. Fortunately, the nobleman in the night is in Shen, where metal can control wood, and this nobleman is placed upon the day stem, thus blocking the official ghosts and protecting the day stem, as if receiving the protection of a favorable deity. Common people who receive this pattern encounter trouble but find salvation; however, officials who receive this pattern indicate high virtue and prominent official position, with the nobleman who generates them present on themselves, which is favorable and suitable for all matters.

斷曰：此元首之卦，順進連茹。三傳皆官，貴常臨日。日德在宅，發為用神。主忠孝積善之家，有甲第顯榮之慶。春占尤利也。常人防官非口舌，或病患相侵。雖有救神，亦宜謹慎。

This is a卦 of the sovereign, with the three transmissions following in sequence and advancing continuously. All three transmissions are official stars, and the nobleman often appears with the day stem; the day virtue falls on the house and manifests as the useful god. This indicates a family of loyalty and filial piety accumulating good deeds, which will bring joy and honor through academic success. It is especially favorable in spring. For ordinary people, one should beware of legal disputes and verbal conflicts, or illness invading. Even if there is a saving god present, one should still be cautious in all matters.

天時：屢有風患，得雨而解。家宅：朱雀克宅，防火災，或防病訟。婚姻：后克龍，干上克支上，主不成，成亦不利。胎產：丑加子為腹胎格。功名：占試得中，居官宜慎。求財：勞動而所得微細。疾病：家鬼作祟，宜作福禱神。失脫：或因喜事宴會，或主婢僕偷竊。出行：宜謁貴。行人：將至，有阻。爭訟：必藉人調解，可以無患。兵戰：宜慎。

Heavenly Conditions: There are frequent wind troubles, and only with rain will the troubles be removed. Home: The Vermilion Bird overpowers the house, so beware of fire, illness, or lawsuits. Marriage: The Heavenly Empress overpowers the Azure Dragon, and the Day Stem overpowers the Day Branch, indicating that the marriage talk will not succeed, and even if it does, it will be disadvantageous. Pregnancy: The branch You is placed on Zi, forming the 'Abdominal Pregnancy Pattern'. Career: Divination for exams suggests success, but for officialdom, one should be cautious. Seeking Wealth: Hard work leads to little gain. Illness: The household's ghostly spirits are causing trouble; it is advisable to perform rituals and pray to deities. Loss: The loss may be due to a celebration or banquet, or it may be stolen by a servant. Travel: It is advisable to visit a nobleman. Traveler: The traveler is about to arrive, but there will be obstacles on the way. Dispute: One must rely on others to mediate to avoid trouble. Warfare: One should be cautious.

畢法云：所謀多拙遭羅網，鬼臨三四訟災隨，眾鬼雖彰全不畏。課經云：支上有鬼，引入鬼鄉，為家鬼取家人，賴干上食神為救。然必先有驚危，後稍無畏。如食神是貴，必得貴人力也。指掌賦云：寅卯辰為正和，展經略而沐浴恩光。

The "Bifa Fu" says: Most plans are clumsy and fall into traps; if the official ghost is present in the third or fourth lesson, lawsuits and misfortunes will follow one after another; although many ghosts are apparent, there is no need to be afraid. The "Ke Jing" says: If the official ghost is on the day branch and is led into the ghost's territory, it is like one's own ghost capturing one's own family, and it relies entirely on the food god on the day stem to save the situation; however, there must first be a dangerous situation, and only then can one gradually become fearless. If the food god is indeed the nobleman, then one can surely rely on the nobleman's help. The "Zhipang Fu" says: The three transmissions of寅, 卯, and 辰 are called "Zheng He," which allows one to implement state strategies and enjoy the grace of bathing.

課體：伏吟，自任，元胎，六儀。課義：祿馬隨身，兩虎並臨，居官極品，俗庶災身。解曰：申為日之德祿，又乘驛馬臨身發用。中傳螣蛇生角，末傳勾陳捧印，仕宦占之，大為吉兆。申本虎也，以居官言之，二虎入廟，為威權顯赫之象，必登極品。俗庶不足以當此，必有訟獄之災矣。

The lesson pattern is determined as "Hidden Chant," "Self-Responsibility," "Original Fetus," and "Six Instruments." "Self-Responsibility" refers to a hidden chant on an odd day, indicating that all matters can only be shouldered by oneself. "Original Fetus" means that all four lessons and three transmissions belong to the first quarter of the months, like the initial formation of fetal energy. "Six Instruments" refers to the deity of the first day of the ten-day period initiating the transmission, acting as the master of the ten-day cycle. The lesson meaning states that the禄神 (favorable deity) andThe Post-horse (post-horse) are both accompanying the body, with two White Tigers appearing together on the person. Officials may achieve the highest position, while common people may suffer misfortune because of this. Explanation: Shen is both the virtue deity and禄神 of Geng day, and it is accompanied by the post-horse, appearing on the body and initiating the first transmission. The middle transmission is Teng Snake emerging, and the final transmission is Gou Chen holding the seal, which is a great omen for officials. Since Shen itself belongs to the Tiger, and considering the context of holding an official position, two Tigers entering the court indicate a powerful and prominent status, surely leading to a top rank. Common people cannot bear such an atmosphere, and they will certainly face legal troubles and lawsuits.

斷曰：此伏吟自任之卦，課傳皆孟，格合元胎。伏而未發，隱而未明。靜則相宜，動則反滯。君子守正修德，則應祿馬俱臨之吉，旬儀發用之祥。富貴顯庸，亨通無比。若常人無德，反主生災作禍。

The interpretation is: this is a Hidden Chant self-assumed hexagram, with the four lessons and three transmissions all belonging to the first month. The structure conforms to the original embryo. It is latent and has not yet been activated, concealed and not yet clear. It is quiet and appropriate to maintain stillness; any movement would lead to obstruction. If a gentleman can uphold the right path and cultivate virtue, he should encounter the auspiciousness of both official and horse accompanying him and the favorable use of the ten-day cycle, thus attaining wealth, honor, prominence, and being appointed, achieving unparalleled success. However, for an ordinary person without virtue, it would instead lead to calamity and misfortune.

天時：風雨時至。家宅：干支互絕，宜與人兌換屋宇。婚姻：晝占不宜，夜占可用。胎產：春占安，夏占防損。功名：文主高第顯榮，武主功成衣錦，躁妄者不吉。求財：大有所得，防為病訟所耗，或為兄弟分奪。疾病：晝占大凶，久病及老人小兒尤忌。失脫：可得，逃亡必獲。出行：如意。行人：先有信，在路將至。爭訟：不吉，靜以待動者得勝。兵戰：晝夜不寧。

Heavenly conditions: rain and wind will come at any time. For the household: the day stem and day branch are in the state of mutual defeat, it is advisable to exchange houses with others. For marriage: it is not suitable to divinate during the day, but suitable during the night. For pregnancy: if divined in spring, the fetal condition is stable; if divined in summer, there is a need to prevent injury. For official rank: the literary path leads to success and honor, the military path leads to achievements and returning home in glory, but those who are impetuous and act recklessly will have an inauspicious outcome. For seeking wealth: there will be great gains, but be cautious of losses due to illness or legal disputes, or being taken by brothers. For illness: divining during the day is very inauspicious, especially for those with long-term illness, the elderly, and children. For lost items: they can be recovered, and those who have run away will certainly be captured. For travel: everything will go as desired. For a traveler: there will be a letter first, and the person is on the way and will arrive soon. For disputes: it is inauspicious, wait quietly for the party that moves first to win. For warfare: there will be no peace during day or night.

畢法云：任信丁馬須言動，賓主不投刑在上。課經云：伏吟交車沖，不論親疏，主先合後離。父子、夫婦、主客、兄弟皆然。袖中金云：寅日用申巳，凡占主刑中之合，薄有所就，出行則可。

The "Bifa Fu" says: If a self-reliant and self-confident divination includes the ten-day stem Ding and the post-horse, it should be interpreted as indicating movement. When the host and guest do not align, observe the criminal god falling on the upper god. The "Ke Jing" states: In aHidden Chant lesson where the chariot and its opposite conflict, regardless of close or distant relations, it indicates first union then separation; sons, spouses, hosts, guests, and brothers all follow this pattern. The "Xiu Zhong Jin" says: On寅 day, using申 and巳, any divination indicates punishment combined with union, achieving somewhat, and travel is feasible.

課體：知一，退茹。課義：夜貴墓身，晝貴墓庭，三傳雖水，兩丙一丁。解曰：未臨夜貴，本辰墓也，今覆日上。丑臨晝貴，本日墓也，今覆辰上。交互相墓，兩貴蹉跌矣。三傳子亥戌，亦名水局。水雖能制日鬼，而亦脫日氣。況旬遁丙子丙戊丁亥，兩丙一丁，皆為暗鬼。若嫌日上空生，棄之而妄動，必逢災咎也。

The lesson pattern is identified as "Zhi Yi" and "Tui Ru." The lesson meaning states: the nobleman of the night buries himself in the tomb, and the nobleman of the day buries the courtyard in the tomb; although the three transmissions belong to water, they conceal two Bing and one Ding. Explanation: the earth branch Wei is occupied by the nobleman of the night, and Wei is originally the tomb of the day stem寅; now it covers over the day stem. The earth branch Chou is occupied by the nobleman of the day, and Chou is originally the tomb of the day stem庚; now it covers over the day branch. They interact to form a tomb, and both noblemen are hindered. The three transmissions Zi, Hai, and Xu are also called the water pattern; although water can control the official ghost of the day stem庚, it also drains the energy of the day stem. Moreover, the ten-day cycle reveals Bing Zi, Bing Xu, and Ding Hai, with two Bing and one Ding, all belonging to hidden official ghosts. If one is suspicious that the support for the day stem is ineffective and acts recklessly, disaster is certain to follow.

斷曰：此知一之卦，脫干生支，恩中有害，合中有沖。二下賊上，皆在宅內。主妻財爭訟，咒詛不寧。又：三辰逆退連茹，節外生枝，先退後進。喜干奇臨干，旬奇發用，亦合聯珠之吉，可陰消禍患，意外獲福。

This is a卦 of knowledge and understanding. It drains the day stem and benefits the day branch, indicating affection mixed with harm, and harmony accompanied by conflict. There are two lessons where the lower deity harms the upper deity, both occurring within the house, indicating disputes over wife and money, being cursed and slandered, and lacking peace. Moreover, the three chen positions are in reverse order, connected in sequence, leading to complications beyond the main issue, with a pattern of first retreating and then advancing. Fortunately, the odd deity of the day stem is present on the day stem itself, and the odd deity of the ten-day period issues from the first transmission, which is a favorable sign of linked pearls, capable of secretly resolving disasters and unexpectedly gaining blessings.

天時：久陰多雨。家宅；主人昏晦不通，宅亦廢損虛耗，或被子孫耗費生禍；又丑加寅，夜將天空，主屋上獸頭落。功名：士有奇遇，官有異政超擢。求財：所得輕微。投謁：晝占和美，夜占不合。疾病：大吉加寅，干支互墓，昏滯不吉。失脫：或在鄰近，或子孫所竊。出行：多有耗費，兼防暗損。行人：遲滯。爭訟：夜占防直遭曲斷。兵戰：不寧。

Heavenly Conditions: There will be prolonged periods of cloudy weather and heavy rain. Family Residence: The master is dull and lacks understanding, the house is also in disrepair and decay, or it is being consumed by descendants leading to misfortune; also, the branch of Chou is added to the branch of Yin, and during the night, the Heavenly General is in the sky, indicating that the beast's head on the roof ridge will fall down. Achievements: Scholars may have unusual encounters, while officials may be promoted beyond normal standards due to exceptional performance. Seeking Wealth: The gains will be very small. Seeking Favor: During the day, the divination shows harmony and beauty, but during the night, the divination indicates that talks will not reach an agreement. Illness: Daji (Chou earth) is added to the branch of Yin, and the day stem and day branch mutually enter the tomb, leading to a state of confusion and blockage, which is not auspicious. Losses: The loss may be in the nearby neighborhood, or it may be stolen by descendants. Traveling: There will be much expenditure, and one should also beware of hidden losses. Travelers: The traveler will remain still for a long time. Disputes: During the night, one should beware of being judged as wrong even though one is clearly right. Military Conflict: There will be unrest.

畢法云：空上逢空事莫追，晝夜貴加求兩貴，干支乘墓各昏迷。觀月經云：四立干上神，分明末日臨，此名天禍卦，乖角竟相侵。如立夏日是庚，前一日是巳，巳乃木之末日，巳課在未，庚日占事，干上得小吉，是末日臨也。

The *Bifa Fu* says: If Kongwang appears again on top of Kongwang, there is no need to pursue further; if both day nobleman and night nobleman are present together, one can seek help from both noblemen at the same time; if both the day stem and day branch are in their墓 position, both sides are unclear and confused. The *Guan Jingxue* says: On the days of the four beginnings—Lichun, Lixia, Liqiu, and Lidong—look at the heavenly stem on the day. If it clearly has the general of the previous solar term's end, it is called the "Heavenly Misfortune Hexagram," which indicates mutual discord and mutual harm. For example, on the day of Lixia, if it is a day of Geng, the previous day belongs to Si, which is the end of the wood energy. The Si hexagram falls on Wei, and if on a Geng day, the day stem has Xiaoji (Wei earth), this is called the end energy appearing on top.

課體：涉害，間傳，顧祖，勵德。課義：虛憂不實，就生無力，倘聚錢財，禍患尤劇。解曰：午為日鬼，臨干發用，大為可憂。幸值旬空，則虛而不實。棄而就中傳辰土之生，似若可依。然亦陷空鬼之鄉，不能助我為力。由是而之末傳，勢必取寅之財矣。而晝乘蛇火，為害非淺，可不慎哉。

The lesson pattern is determined as "涉害" (involvement in harm), "间传" (intermediate transmission), "顾祖" (looking back to ancestors), and "励德" (encouraging virtue). "顾祖" refers to the final transmission returning to support the initial transmission, like descendants looking back to their ancestors. The lesson meaning states: worries are merely superficial and do not take effect; relying on past support is ineffective; if one gathers wealth, the calamity will be particularly severe. Explanation: The fire of the fifth heavenly stem is the official ghost of the day stem of geng, appearing on the day stem and issuing the first transmission, which is very concerning. Fortunately, it is in the empty period, thus being empty and not real. One should abandon it and rely instead on the middle transmission, the earth of chen, to support and sustain, as if having a support. However, chen is also in the empty ghost region and cannot help. Therefore, one must go to the final transmission and necessarily take the wood of yin as wealth. However, during the day, yin is occupied by the fire of teng snake, causing great harm, how can one not be cautious?

斷曰：此涉害之卦，多歷艱辛。每逢憂患，進退維谷。末助初而克干，主有人百端侵損。幸孤辰發用，為我難者，有心無力，雖見驚憂，旋歸烏有也。貴臨卯酉，大位升遷，微員斥退之象。

This is a卦 of involvement in harm, indicating many difficulties and hardships. Frequently encountering troubles, one is caught between difficulties. The final transmission assists the first transmission to overcome the day stem, suggesting that someone is causing harm and damage. Fortunately, Guchen originates from the first transmission, meaning those who trouble me are powerless. Although there is disturbance and worry, it will soon vanish. The nobleman is present at the卯 and酉 positions, indicating the image of high officials being promoted and minor officials being dismissed.

天時：占晴不久，占雨難得。家宅：人宅互脫，又皆臨敗地，必見衰替。婚姻：不吉。胎產：胎神坐長生，占胎安，產不利。功名：仲夏晝占，赴任榮顯。求財：遲得，防因財生災。疾病：干支互乘死神，大凶。失脫：即在宅內。出行：不宜。行人：未至。爭訟：不宜告人奸，必連累同罪。兵戰：宜慎。

Heavenly conditions: If predicting clear weather, it will be clear but not for long; if predicting rain, it will be difficult to get rain. Family residence: Both people and the house mutually weaken each other, and both are in a position of decline, so there will certainly be a decline. Marriage: Unauspicious. Pregnancy: TheFetal Spirit is sitting in the position of growth, so predicting the fetus is safe, but predicting childbirth is unfavorable. Achieving fame and status: If divined during the middle of summer on a daytime, taking office will bring honor. Seeking wealth: Wealth comes slowly, be careful of disasters caused by wealth. Disease: The day stem and day branch mutually multiply the death deity, which is very凶. Loss and theft: The lost items are inside the house. Traveling: Not advisable. Travelers: Not yet arrived. Disputes: Do not advise to expose others' secrets, definitely causing oneself to be implicated and suffer punishment. Warfare: Should be cautious.

畢法云：制鬼之位乃良醫，干支皆敗勢傾頹。課經云：末雖助初，初卻空亡，不能剋日，末徒作仇怨，名抱難不斗格。指南：戊辰年子將代占枚卜。朝官占得顧祖格，多不滿任。又初中空陷，龍化為蛇，龍神克其德祿，不但不能大拜，定以強進獲咎。後果有一宗伯，枚卜不就，繼被察處回籍。

The "Bifa Fu" says: The one that can subdue the official ghost is the good physician; if both the day stem and day branch are in a losing position, the situation will inevitably decline. The "Ke Jing" says: Although the final transmission supports the first transmission, the first transmission falls into kongwang, fails to overcome the day stem, and the final transmission forms an enmity in vain, which is called "Bao Nan Bu Dou Ge." The "Liu Ren Zhi Nan" records: In the year of Wuchen, use the zi general to divinate matters concerning the court's recommendation of ministers. When court officials receive the Gu Zu Ge, they are mostly not appointed for the full term. Moreover, if both the first and middle transmissions fall into kongwang, the azure dragon turns into the teng snake, the dragon god then overcomes his virtue god and禄 god, not only failing to attain high office, but also certainly suffering punishment due to excessive ambition. Later, indeed, a Minister of Rites was not selected in the court's recommendation, and then was dismissed from office and sent back to his hometown.
