On the Renchen day, seventh arrangement, the stem is on the Si branch.

課體：反吟，勵德，斬關，閉口。課義：巳及丙丁，總是財星，兩貴受克，斬關課名。

The lesson pattern has four types: reverse chant, cultivating virtue, breaking the gate, and "closed mouth." When the first day and the last day of the ten-day period connect with each other, it is like the mouth closing, indicating that matters should be kept silent. The lesson meaning says: in the transmission of the lesson, the fire in the巳 position, together with the hidden丙 and丁, are all wealth stars for the壬 water; however, the nobleman in the day and night positions are both defeated by the lower god, making them unreliable. The lesson pattern is also called breaking the gate, which is suitable for breaking through the gate and leaving far behind.

解曰：支上之戌，遁出丙火。中傳之亥，遁出丁火。三傳初末，皆是巳火。水日逢之，總屬財神。巳為日貴臨亥，卯為夜貴臨酉，俱受下克，不宜告貴。河魁在支，上乘青龍，反吟斬關，大利於逃亡也。

The day branch's Xu contains the hidden Bing fire, and the middle transmission's Hai contains the hidden Ding fire. The first and final transmissions of the three transmissions are both巳 fire. The壬 water belongs to water, and encountering these fires all count as its wealth gods.巳 is the nobleman of the day, now located on the Hai;卯 is the nobleman of the night, now located on the You. Both are being overcome by the earth plate's divine power, so it is not advisable to seek help from the nobleman. The Hekui Xu is located on the day branch and is accompanied by the Azure Dragon, plus reverse chant and cutting the gate, which is most favorable for fleeing and escaping.

斷曰：反吟之卦，事有往返。財爻太多，惟秋冬身旺之時，可以取財。春夏身弱，反有所費。且財祿臨絕，止宜結絕財物舊事。占病、占訟、占食祿事，皆非所宜。

The interpretation states: Reverse Chant divination indicates that matters will go back and forth. In this reading, there are too many wealth signs. One can only bear the burden and obtain wealth during autumn and winter when water is strong and the self is strong. In spring and summer, when water is weak and wealth is abundant but the self is weak, it will result in expenditure. Moreover, the wealth god and the official luck god are both in the绝 (decline) position. It is only suitable for concluding existing financial matters. This reading is not appropriate for divination regarding illness, legal disputes, or salary and provisions.

天時：天地相通，水上火下，有雨不大。家宅：宅上晝夜乘龍，必多喜慶之事。仕宦：晝貴臨干，青龍臨宅，功名可得，但嫌兩貴受克，有美中不足之事。求財：滿目皆財，晝得貴人之財，夜得婦女之財。婚姻：干貴支龍，可偕伉儷。胎產：下強上弱，妊乃成女。疾病：有腹痛之疾，或腎水虛涸，或寒熱往來等症，防翻覆。出行：水陸皆是坦途。行人：天罡加季，行者立至。兵戰：晝占甚吉，夜占次之。

Inquiring about the weather, the energies of heaven and earth are connected, with water above and fire below. There is rain, but it does not fall heavily. Inquiring about the home, both day and night the home is governed by the Azure Dragon, indicating many joys and celebrations in the household. Inquiring about career prospects, a nobleman is present at the day stem, and the Azure Dragon is also at the home position, indicating that fame and success can be achieved, though two noblemen are affected by being overcome, resulting in some shortcomings. Inquiring about wealth, there is an abundance of wealth, with the nobleman's wealth obtained during the day and the wealth of women obtained at night. Inquiring about marriage, the day stem has a nobleman and the day branch has the Azure Dragon, indicating that a harmonious marriage is possible. Inquiring about pregnancy, the lower is strong and the upper is weak, indicating the birth of a female child. Inquiring about illness, there is a pain in the abdomen, or possibly a depletion of kidney water, or a fluctuation between cold and heat, requiring vigilance against recurring illness. Inquiring about travel, both land and water routes are smooth. Inquiring about distant people, the Tiangang is added to the four seasonal branches, indicating that the person will arrive immediately. Inquiring about military affairs, the daytime divination is very auspicious, while the nighttime divination is somewhat less favorable.

畢法云：閉口卦體兩般推，兩貴受克難干貴。課經云：壬辰日巳加亥，謂之德喪祿絕格。三車一覽云：天罡加戌，將乘天后，主男女私通之事。纂要云：夜占將乘太陰，為巳火所克，謂之太陰內戰，所謀皆危。玉成歌云：巳亥貴臨多反覆。

Two passages from the "Bi Fa Fu" state: "Closed mouth divination requires two aspects for judgment," meaning that when the chart is closed, the fortune must be interpreted from two sides; "Two noblemen being overcome make it hard to rely on noblemen," meaning that if the nobleman in both day and night is overcome, seeking help from the nobleman will be difficult. The "Ke Jing" says: On Renchen day, with巳 placed on亥, it is called the "Loss of Virtue and Loss of Wealth" pattern. The "San Che Yi Lian" says: When Tiangang (Chen) is placed on戌, and the Heavenly General is accompanied by the Heavenly Empress, it indicates matters of private relations between men and women. The "Zuan Yao" says: When the Heavenly General is on Tai Yin at night and is overcome by巳 fire, it is called "Tai Yin internal conflict," and all matters planned will be dangerous. The "Yu Cheng Ge" says: When the nobleman is on巳 and亥, the matters will be often reversed.

課體：重審，不備，亂首。課義：上門欺凌，孟避不能，寅雖可制，渠力難興。

The lesson patterns are divided into three: Re-examination; Incomplete; and "Disordered Beginning." In the "Disordered Beginning" pattern, the day branch combines with the day stem and overcomes the day stem, representing a situation where a lower element attacks a higher one. The lesson meaning explains that the day branch brings harmful energy to attack the day stem, and there is no way to escape. Although the initiating transmission's寅wood can control辰earth, it is itself weakened by酉metal, so it cannot muster enough strength to come to the day stem's aid.

解曰：支辰臨干克干，為上門亂首。又係華蓋，其欺凌之惡，不能避也。寅木發用，雖可制此辰土，奈酉金克之。彼方自立仇地，力已弱矣，烏能興起而作援乎。

The day branch Chen is added to the day stem, and then comes to overcome the day stem, which is called upper door disorder. Chen is also the Huagai star, which covers and obscures, and its malicious oppression cannot be avoided. The initiating transmission寅 wood could normally overcome Chen earth, but寅 itself is overcome by You metal, standing on the ground of an enemy, its strength has already weakened, how can it rise up to save the day stem?

斷曰：重審之課，以下犯上，又名亂首，不免尾大不掉。雖干支上神，辰酉六合，而墓神覆日，百事昏沉，且三傳遞克，猶幸中末空亡，尚可解釋。但酉為敗神臨支，家中敗壞，亦防酒色迷人。

The divination states: This is a case of revisiting a previous divination, where the lower forces are acting against the higher, known as disorder at the beginning, inevitably leading to a situation where the lower ranks overpower the superiors. Although the stem and branch above show the hour of Chen and You forming a harmonious combination, the spirit of the tomb covers the day stem, causing all matters to be unclear and confused. The three transmissions are successively in a state of mutual control, but fortunately the middle and final transmissions fall into the empty void, which can alleviate some of the negative effects. However, You is the spirit of defeat, located on the day branch, indicating a potential decline in the family, and one should also be cautious of being led astray by alcohol and lust.

天時：墓神覆日，水運乎上，天罡指亥，主有雨。家宅：支干之上神相合，室家和美。仕宦：貴祿不見，官星乘墓，功名遲鈍。求財：財爻不見，不得。婚姻：支干之上神相合，有必成之勢。胎產：下強上弱，二陽包陰，妊乃成女，子戀母腹，產必遲延。疾病：晝占乃心經受病，幸白虎落陷受克，不藥可愈。出行：人宅相合，行期遲緩。行人：天罡加孟，尚未啟行。兵戰：利主不利客，晝夜俱不甚利。墳葬：此係敗地，水法不合，大傷人丁。

Inquiring about the weather, the spirit of the tomb covers the day stem, with water vapour above, and the Tiangang points to the亥 position, indicating rain. Inquiring about the household, the day branch and day stem have harmonious spirits above, indicating harmony within the family. Inquiring about official career, the nobleman and the禄神 are not present, and the official star is in the tomb, indicating delays in official achievements. Inquiring about wealth, the wealth爻 does not appear, indicating inability to obtain wealth. Inquiring about marriage, the spirits on the heavenly stem and earthly branch are harmonious, indicating a certain success. Inquiring about childbirth, the lower is strong and the upper is weak, with two yangs enclosing one yin, indicating a female child; the fetus clings to the mother's womb, and childbirth will be delayed. Inquiring about illness, daytime divination indicates illness in the heart meridian, but fortunately the White Tiger is in a weak position and is being overcome, so the illness can be cured without medication. Inquiring about travel, the person and the house are harmonious, indicating a slow departure. Inquiring about distant people, the Tiangang is added to the four young branches, indicating that they have not yet departed. Inquiring about warfare, it is advantageous for the main side but not for the opposing side, and both day and night divination are not very favorable. Inquiring about burial, this is a ruined site, with improper water flow, causing great harm to the family.

畢法云：虎乘遁鬼殃非淺，不行傳者考初時。指南：庚辰十一月丑將申時，代友占往孟津，曰：此課支加干克干，為上門亂首，大凶之課。時此友在懷慶，適孟渡河往孟津，夫馬已哄集署門，因投書痛止之，遂迎其椿萱至懷。不十數日而遭內艱，及春正二十一日，賊陷雒陽矣。

Two passages from the "Bi Fa Fu" state: "White Tiger riding the hidden ghost brings serious calamity," meaning that when the White Tiger is combined with the hidden ghost, the disaster is severe; "If the three transmissions do not move, examine the initiating transmission and the time of divination," meaning that if the three transmissions are stationary, one should refer to the initiating transmission and the time of the divination to make a judgment. The "Liu Ren Zhi Nan" records a case: in the year Gengchen, during the eleventh lunar month, with Chou as the month general and Shen time, a friend was consulted about his travel plans to Mengjin. The divination concluded: the day branch is combined with the day stem and further harms the day stem, indicating a dangerous situation where someone above interferes with the leader, which is a major凶 (evil) lesson. At that time, the friend was in Huaiqing, planning to cross the river to Mengjin, and the carriage drivers and laborers had already gathered at the gate of the official's residence. He then wrote a letter strongly advising against the journey, and he brought his parents to Huaiqing. Less than ten days later, he suffered the loss of his mother. On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month of the following year, the bandits attacked and captured Luoyang.

課體：重審，寡宿，曲直。課義：夜將皆土，傳末救護，常人慾之，君子深惡。

The lesson pattern has three types: Chong Shen, Guasu, and "Qu Zhi". The three transmissions form the wood triad of Hai, Mao, and Wei. The lesson meaning says: when divining at night, the heavenly generals accompanying the four lessons are all earth deities, who attack the壬 water together. The only one to rescue is the final transmission's Mao wood. This situation is something ordinary people would desire, but scholars and officials deeply detest it.

解曰：夜將皆土，剋制壬水，賴末傳之卯木來救，且會成木局，以壓眾鬼。常人值此，得免官訟。君子則又忌見子孫，慮克官星，所以深畏而忌之也。

When divining at night, the heavenly generals involved all belonged to the earth element, collectively restraining the壬 water. Fortunately, the final transmission contained卯 wood, which came to rescue. Moreover, the three transmissions formed a wooden trinity, thus suppressing the group of earth elements. Ordinary people encountering such a divination can avoid troubles related to lawsuits and imprisonment. However, for those who are scholars or officials, the appearance of theChildren Line (offspring trigram) is most undesirable, as it restrains the official star, causing damage to their official career. Therefore, they deeply fear and avoid it.

斷曰：曲直之局，似乎脫氣。然夜占能制土鬼，不可一例言之，但不免貴人相賺耳。喜辰上申金，能敵眾木。但交車六害，支干各自乘脫。而三傳又盜日傷支，大約好事難成，憂事則易解散耳。占訟先曲而後直。

The interpretation says: For a water day stem, the wood element in the pattern appears to be dispersing energy, but during night divination it can control the earth ghost. It cannot be universally judged, but one is inevitably deceived by the nobleman. Fortunately, the day branch has the metal element of Shen, which can resist the wood energy. However, the interaction between the heavenly stem and earthly branch causes mutual harm, and both sides are supported by the spirit of depletion. The three transmissions further steal energy from the day stem and damage the day branch. Overall, good things are difficult to achieve, while troubles are easily dispelled. If it concerns legal matters, it indicates initial defeat followed by eventual success.

天時：天罡指陽，木局生火，朱雀發用，晴而不雨。家宅：長生乘六合，青龍臨宅，主尊長有喜合之事。仕宦：子孫全見，占官不吉。求財：財爻不見，不得。婚姻：夜占甚吉，晝占平平。胎產：胎坐長生，占產不利。疾病：心經與膀胱受病，晝占則兩虎相夾，病勢甚篤。出行：夜占吉。行人：尚未起程。兵戰：未見甚利。

Questioning about the weather, the Tiangang points to the yang position, the wood element generates fire, and the Vermilion Bird initiates the transmission, indicating clear skies with no rain. Questioning about the household, the growth deity rides the Liu He, and the Azure Dragon is also at the dwelling position, indicating that the family elders will have joyful gatherings. Questioning about official career, all the descendants' yao appear, and they overcome the official star, indicating an unfavorable outcome for officialdom. Questioning about wealth, the wealth yao does not appear, indicating inability to obtain wealth. Questioning about marriage, a favorable outcome is indicated if the divination is done at night, but average if done during the day. Questioning about childbirth, the fetal deity sits upon the growth position, indicating an unfavorable outcome for childbirth. Questioning about illness, the heart and bladder meridians are affected, and during the day, two White Tigers are positioned before and after, indicating a severe illness. Questioning about travel, a favorable outcome is indicated if the divination is done at night. Questioning about distant people, they have not yet started their journey. Questioning about military affairs, there is no clear indication of great advantage.

畢法云：水日逢丁財動之，人宅受脫俱招盜。精蘊：十月寅將戌時占逃亡，曰：小吉加卯為用，主門戶動搖。將乘朱勾，主為文字詞訟交加。中見登明，將得天空，必因欺詐而起。甲申旬以午未為孤虛，占逃亡終不可獲。末見太沖，將乘太陰臨日。辰上見傳送，將得六合為天門。壬日冬占，太陰臨生門，逃必遠去也。

Two passages from the "Bi Fa Fu" state: "When water meets Ding, wealth moves," meaning that when water is present and Ding appears, wealth is activated; "Both person and dwelling suffer loss, both attract thieves," meaning that both the person and the dwelling are drained of energy, leading to theft from both sides. The "Liu Ren Jing Yun" records a case: in the tenth lunar month, with the month general as寅 and the time as戌, a divination was made about a missing person. The judgment stated: Xiao Ji (Wei) is placed on卯, initiating the transmission, indicating instability in the household. The heavenly general is riding the Vermilion Bird and Gou Chen, indicating disputes involving legal matters. The middle transmission shows Deng Ming (Hai), and the heavenly general is Tian Kong, suggesting the matter is due to fraud. At this time, it is the Jiashen cycle, with午 and未 as isolated and empty positions, indicating that the missing person will not be found. The final transmission shows Taichong (Mao), with the heavenly general riding Tai Yin and approaching the day. The day branch is on辰, with the transmission at申, and the heavenly general is accompanied by Liu He, forming the heavenly gate. Since the day is壬 and the divination is made in winter, Tai Yin is on the birth gate, indicating that the missing person has definitely gone far away.

課體：遙克，蒿矢，稼穡。課義：互相吞併，夜戌虎盛，身幸乘寅，眾鬼欽敬。

The lesson pattern has three types: 'Remote Control', where there is no thief or control in the four lessons, and the use is determined by distant mutual control; 'Hao Shi'; and 'Jia Se', where the three transmissions form a earth element group consisting of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei. The lesson meaning says: the heavenly stem and earthly branch on both sides mutually devour each other, and at night, the White Tiger on Wu is especiallyvicious. Fortunately, the day stem is riding on寅 wood, which can oppose the earth, so all the earth spirits are respectful and fearful of it.

解曰：干上寅木，克支之辰。支上未土，克干之壬水，是互相吞併也。夜占戌虎最惡，辛賴日上寅木，可以敵土，所以眾鬼皆敬而畏之也。

The wood of寅 on the day stem overcomes the earth of辰 in the day branch, while the earth of未 in the day branch also overcomes the water of壬 on the day stem. They are mutually attacking each other. At night, the White Tiger on戌 is particularlyvicious, but fortunately there is wood of寅 on the day stem to resist the earth, so these earth spirits are both respectful and fearful, and dare not act recklessly.

斷曰：蒿矢之卦，三傳皆土。戌夜乘虎傷日，誠為至凶。所喜坐於空鄉，雖有謀害，不能為禍，夜貴稍重。若用晝占，則貴塞鬼戶，魍魎全無矣。惟利坐待，不利動謀。

The interpretation says: This divination shows the arrow of wormwood, with all three transmissions being earth. The earth dog (戌土) in a night divination is accompanied by the White Tiger, which harms the day stem, indicating a very dangerous situation. Fortunately, it is seated in the Kongwang position, so although there is a plan to cause harm, it cannot result in actual misfortune. The nobleman's influence is still strong at night. If this divination were done in the daytime, the nobleman would block the gate of ghosts, and all the spirits and demons would disappear. This divination is favorable for waiting quietly, but not for taking initiative.

天時：龍雖昇天而空陷，三傳皆土，不雨。家宅：元后脫干防失脫，朱勾乘支，不免口舌。仕宦：晝乘青龍，夜乘白虎，惟利職官。求財：不見財爻，不得。婚姻：交互相剋，未見其美。胎產：二陽包陰，妊乃成女。疾病：當是頂門刺痛，或腎水涸竭，或脾胃受病，不久可愈。出行：陸路防失脫，水路防口舌。行人：天罡加季，行者至門。兵戰：好事難成，凶事易散，宜謹慎。墳葬：穴情雖好，人手不清，且防有口舌爭競。

Inquiring about the weather, the Azure Dragon has risen but is in an empty and weak position, and the three transmissions are all earth, so it will not rain. Inquiring about the household, the Black Tortoise and Heavenly Empress are draining the energy of the day stem, so theft should be guarded against; the Vermilion Bird and Gou Chen are on the day branch, so there will be disputes. Inquiring about official position, during the day the Azure Dragon is present and at night the White Tiger is present, which benefits only those who already have a position. Inquiring about wealth, the wealth element is not present, so wealth cannot be obtained. Inquiring about marriage, both sides are mutually controlling, so there is no apparent benefit. Inquiring about pregnancy, two yang elements surround one yin, so the child is female. Inquiring about illness, it is likely to be a headache on the head, or kidney water depletion, or illness of the spleen and stomach, which can be cured soon. Inquiring about travel, on land there is a risk of losing things, and on water there is a risk of disputes. Inquiring about distant people, the Tiangang is on the branches of the four seasons, so the person has already arrived at the gate. Inquiring about military affairs, good things are difficult to achieve and bad things are easy to disperse, so caution is needed. Inquiring about burial, the site is good, but the people involved are not trustworthy, and there is also a risk of disputes.

畢法云：眾鬼雖彰全不畏，夫歸蕪淫各有私，鬼臨三四訟災隨。課經云：干上寅木為日干之脫氣，晝乘元武，為脫盜格。但既為救神，又當別論。秘要云：亥為干德屬水，辰為支刑屬土，三傳助刑伐德。若追亡捕逃，利小人而不利君子。照膽秘訣云：日刑殺到憂妻妾。心印賦云：蒿矢遙神剋日干，救神制鬼卻為歡。

Three lines from the "Bi Fa Fu" say: "Although many ghosts are evident, they are not to be feared at all," meaning that even though many ghosts are apparent, if there is a saving deity present, there is no need to fear; "A husband and wife each have their own private desires," meaning that husband and wife each have their own private feelings and improper actions; "When ghosts are in the third and fourth lessons, litigation and calamity follow," meaning that if ghosts are in the third and fourth lessons, litigation and disaster will follow. The "Ke Jing" says: The寅 wood on the day stem is the escaping qi of the壬 water, and if it is daytime divination and theBlack Tortoise is present, it forms the pattern of theft and escape; however, since it is also a saving deity, it should be considered differently. The "Mi Yao" says:亥 is the virtue deity of壬, belonging to water, and辰 is the刑 of the day branch, belonging to earth; the three transmissions help the刑 deity to attack the virtue deity; if used for capturing fugitives, it is favorable to small people but not to gentlemen. The "Zhao Chan Mi Jie" says: When the day's刑 and凶杀 are in place, one should worry about wife and concubine. The "Xin Yan Fu" says: The lesson of蒿矢 uses the remote deity to attack the day stem; as long as the saving deity controls the ghost, it will turn into joy instead of sorrow.

課體：重審、六儀、涉三淵。課義：發用長生、丑午來憎、勿依末旺、晝戌虎獰。

The lesson pattern has three types: Re-examination; 'Six Instruments', where the hidden god occupies the first day of the ten-day cycle, indicating a transformation from misfortune to good fortune; 'Involving Three Depths', where the three transmissions proceed through the signs of Shen, Xu, and Zi, descending deeper each time, like crossing three deep abysses. The lesson meaning states: the initiating transmission's Shen metal is the long life of the Ren water, which is generally favorable, but the day stem's Chou and the day branch's Wu are mutually harmful, causing resentment; the final transmission's Zi water, although strong, is not reliable; and during the day, the White Tiger at the middle transmission's Xu is especially fierce and terrifying.

解曰：申金發用，乃壬水之長生，不無所益。但干上丑土，支上午火六害相遇，則丑午所以取憎也。末傳之旺子，晝占乘虎，又係羊刃，烏可相依。況中傳之戌土，夜更乘虎，而狺狺孟噬乎。

The initiating transmission's metal of Sheng is the growth place of Ren water, so it cannot be said to have no benefit. However, the day stem's Chou earth and the day branch's Wu fire are directly conflicting with the six harms, so Chou and Wu are thus forming enmity and causing dislike. The final transmission's Zi water, although in a strong position, is riding the White Tiger during the day, and itself is the Yangren of Ren day, so it is not reliable. Moreover, the middle transmission's Xu earth, when it comes to night, also rides the White Tiger, baring its teeth to bite people.

斷曰：重審之卦，利於後動。但六害相加，支破傷干，空財臨干支上而發用。長生又坐空克之鄉，既被支上午克，又被干上丑墓，全然無氣，豈可恃賴耶。惟六儀發傳，或能化凶為吉耳。晝占太常克干，亦防孝服。

The divination suggests that in a case of re-examination, it is advisable to act after the opponent. However, six harmful influences are present, and the breaking god of the day branch is injuring the day stem. The fallen wealth element is located above the stem and branch and initiates the transmission. The god of growth is seated in a place that is both empty and harmful, being attacked from above by the午 fire of the day branch and buried from below by the丑 earth of the day stem, completely lacking life energy, so how can it be reliable? Only the six instruments' gods initiating the transmission might possibly turn misfortune into good fortune. Since the divination is done in the daytime and the Tai Chang is coming to attack the day stem, one should also be cautious of matters involving mourning.

天時：水母空陷，天罡臨寅，旬內不雨。家宅：支干相害，宅上與末傳虎刃相沖，恐多驚恐。仕宦：青龍與官星相併，又儀神發用，占官最吉。求財：夜占可得。婚姻：支干之上神相害，占婚不吉。胎產：下強上弱，子孫屬陰，孕乃成女。疾病：心經受傷，或腎水虛涸之症，然發用長生，終當痊好。出行：水陸二路，俱各中平。行人：天罡加孟，尚未起行。兵戰：先吉後驚，後宜謹備。

Inquiring about the weather, the water mother is in the亥 position which is empty and陷, with the Tiangang located on寅, so there will be no rain in this旬. Inquiring about the household, the heavenly stem and earthly branch are mutually harmful, and the house is also conflicting with the White Tiger and Yangren of the final transmission, so there will be much fear and disturbance. Inquiring about career prospects, the Azure Dragon and official star are together, and there is also the instrument god initiating the transmission, which is most auspicious for officialdom. Inquiring about wealth, one can obtain it if the divination is done at night. Inquiring about marriage, the heavenly stem and earthly branch are mutually harmful, so the divination for marriage is not auspicious. Inquiring about childbirth, the lower is strong and the upper is weak, the son or daughter爻 is yin, indicating a female child is carried. Inquiring about illness, the heart channel is injured, or there is a condition of kidney water depletion, but the initiating transmission is Longsheng, so it will eventually recover. Inquiring about travel, both land and water routes are only average. Inquiring about distant people, the Tiangang is added to the four young branches, so they have not yet started. Inquiring about military affairs, it starts auspicious but then there is alarm, so one must be cautious in the latter part.

畢法云：虎乘遁鬼殃非淺。六壬統論云：辰為天罡，寅為鬼戶，辰加寅為罡塞鬼戶，使眾鬼不能窺覷。宜於避難，或陰私之事。指掌賦云：申戌子為涉三淵，當隱於山林。又云：傳見六儀，病將瘥而獄自出。神將論云：申乘六合為醫人，臨空亡為和尚。

The *Bi Fa Fu* says, "White Tiger riding on the fleeing ghost brings serious calamity," meaning that when the White Tiger is combined with the fleeing ghost, the disaster is severe. The *Liu Ren Tong Lun* states: the辰 (Chen) is the Tiangang (Heavenly Pole), and the寅 (Yin) is the ghost gate. When Chen is placed above Yin, it is called Tiangang blocking the ghost gate, preventing all ghosts from entering; this is favorable for avoiding danger and for handling secret matters. The *Zhi Zhang Fu* says: when the three transmissions include Shen (申), Xu (戌), and Zi (子), it is called entering three depths, and one should retreat to mountains and forests. It also says: when the three transmissions include the six instruments, the sick person will recover, and those in prison will be released. The *Shen Jiang Lun* states: when Shen (申) is combined with Liu He (Six Harmonies), it indicates a doctor; if it is combined with Kongwang (Empty Wasteland), it indicates a monk.

課體：元首，進茹。課義：晝旺乘虎，那堪遁戊，休賴木旺，渠自受苦。

There are two types of lesson patterns: Yuan Shou and 'Jin Ru', also known as Lian Ru, where the three transmissions are like pulling out weeds by their roots, each following one after another. The lesson meaning says: during the day, the strong water is riding on the White Tiger, and moreover, it has hidden out of Wu Earth to come and attack me; do not expect the wood energy of Yin and Mao to control the earth, for the wood itself is suffering and cannot help others.

解曰：子乃旺水，臨干而與日比和，可云相得，奈遁出戊土，又乘晝虎，反來克干。若恃寅卯之旺，以制戊土，不知卯受辰害，且乘太陰之金，復遁庚辛二金剋制，是渠方受苦不暇，何暇救人乎。經所謂見救不救，災須自受也。

Zi is a strong water element, and when it is placed on the day stem, it is of the same type as Ren water, thus naturally harmonious. However, Zi also contains Wu earth hidden within it, and during the day, it is further afflicted by the White Tiger, which turns to harm the day stem. If one hopes that the wood energy of Yin and Mao can overcome the Wu earth, one does not realize that Mao wood is actually harmed by Chen, and on top of that, Tai Yin, which belongs to metal, is present above it, along with hidden Geng and Xin metal, which further attack it. The wood itself is struggling to survive, how can it help others? The classic texts say that when one is in trouble, others cannot save them, and the disaster must be endured by oneself, which is exactly this situation.

斷曰：連茹之卦，丑發用為明鬼，子臨干為暗鬼，二鬼相併，難免口舌矣。且干上之子，支上之巳，夾定三傳，止虛一位，是經營必有未周也。又網刃在前，凡謀不宜妄動。

The interpretation states: This is a case of connected ghosts. The Chou earth is the initiating transmission, representing an obvious ghost. The Wu wood concealed within Zi is positioned over the day stem, representing a hidden ghost. With both ghosts present, disputes and gossip are inevitable. Moreover, the Zi on the day stem and the Si on the day branch enclose the three transmissions, leaving only one position empty, indicating that in planning and managing affairs, there are always aspects that are overlooked. Additionally, the Tian Luo and Yangren are positioned in front, suggesting that one should not act hastily in matters.

天時：日上有網，又與用傳相合，密雲不雨之象。家宅：貴人臨宅生宅，當得貴人之益。仕宦：網羅高張，防丁艱。求財：宜得貴人文書之財。婚姻：支干交克上神，占婚不吉。胎產：二陰包陽，妊乃成男。疾病：心經受病，或膀胱有疾，課名閉口，病恐不食，難治。出行：晝占陸路不吉，水路可行；夜占水陸皆可。行人：天罡加仲，尚在中途。兵戰：先憂後喜。

Questioning about the weather, the day stem has a heavenly net, and it also agrees with the initiating transmission and the three transmissions, indicating a dense cloud without rain. Questioning about the household, the nobleman is over the house and generates the house, indicating the benefit of the nobleman. Questioning about the career, the net is high and spread out, needing to beware of the death of parents. Seeking wealth, it is suitable to gain wealth through the nobleman or through documents. Questioning about marriage, the heavenly stem and earthly branch mutually control the upper deity, indicating an unfavorable marriage. Questioning about pregnancy, two yin are between one yang, indicating a male child. Questioning about illness, the heart channel is affected, or there is a disease in the bladder; the lesson name is closed mouth, the patient is afraid of not being able to eat, and it is difficult to treat. Questioning about travel, during the day, the land route is unfavorable, but the water route is possible; at night, both land and water routes are possible. Questioning about distant people, the heavenly罡 is added to the four central branches, and they are still on the way. Questioning about military affairs, first worry then rejoice.

畢法云：所謀多拙逢羅網，夫婦蕪淫各有私，虎乘遁鬼殃非淺。指掌賦云：丑寅卯為將泰，有聲名而未蒙實惠。心印賦云：子丑相加事必成，更逢吉將轉歡欣。神將論云：丑加子，謂之牛女相會，占婚卻宜。纂要云：巳財作閉口臨支，與閉口祿同，不利占病。

Three lines from the "Bi Fa Fu" say: "Plans are clumsy and meet a net," meaning encountering heaven's net and earth's net, plans are mostly clumsy; "Husband and wife indulge in lust, each with their own private desires," meaning husband and wife each have their own private feelings; "White Tiger rides the hidden ghost, the calamity is not light," meaning White Tiger riding the hidden ghost brings serious misfortune. The "Zhi Zhang Fu" says: if the three transmissions meet Chou, Yin, and Mao, it is called "General Tai," which brings fame but not actual benefits. The "Xin Yan Fu" says: if Zi and Chou add up, the matter will surely succeed, and if it meets a good general, it will turn into joy. The "Shen Jiang Lun" says: if Chou is placed on Zi, it is called "Niu Nu Xiang Hui," which is suitable for marriage divination. The "Zuan Yao" says: if the wealth in Si is closed mouth and approaches the day branch, it is the same as closed mouth wealth, which is unfavorable for divination on illness.

課體：伏吟，勵德，稼穡。課義：五鬼相攻，閉口免凶，晝夜戌虎，病訟重逢。

The lesson pattern has three types: hidden chant, cultivating virtue, and farming. The lesson meaning says: within the four lessons and three transmissions, there are five layers of earth spirits arranged, all attacking the癸 water together; fortunately, the lesson belongs to closed mouth, so by keeping the mouth closed and speaking little, one can avoid danger; however, the Hekui in the戌 position is occupied by the White Tiger day and night, so when it comes to illness or lawsuits, they will occur one after another.

解曰：土為日鬼，課與傳共布五土，並攻癸水，何可當也。巳為閉口，緘默不言，庶可以免凶脫禍。河魁作鬼，晝夜乘虎，病訟不免重疊而見也。

Earthly Branches can overcome Water, so Earth is the ghost of the癸 day. When the Four Lessons and the Three Transmissions are combined, five layers of Earth appear, all attacking the癸 Water together, which cannot withstand such an attack. Fortunately,巳 is at the end of the ten-day cycle and connects with the beginning, forming a closed mouth image. As long as one remains silent, it is possible to avoid danger and escape from misfortune. Since the Hekui戌 is acting as the ghost, and it is occupied by the White Tiger both day and night, if the divination is about illness or legal matters, one will inevitably face one problem after another.

斷曰：自信之卦，伏匿不動，惟三九月戌為天馬，方有動象。或逢亥上年命，亦可言動。仕宦逢之，催官符至，上任極速，常人則不利也。所喜末傳空亡，無足深患，又課名稼穡，凡事有艱難之象。

The interpretation says: This is a lesson of self-confidence, with everything hidden and inactive; only in March or September, when戌 becomes the Heavenly Horse, will there be signs of activity; or if the diviner's age corresponds to亥, it can also be interpreted as something about to move. Officials who divinate this will have the Guanfu (official symbol) accelerated, and will be appointed very quickly; but for ordinary people, it is not favorable. Fortunately, the final transmission falls on Kongwang (void), so there is no need for deep worry. This lesson is also called Jia Se (cultivation and harvest), like farming and reaping which require time, indicating that all things have the appearance of difficulty and delay.

天時：三傳純土，無雨。家宅：貴德臨宅，財氣重重，富而且貴之象。仕宦：官星臨身，中傳催官符至，得之甚速。求財：財已充庭，不求自至。婚姻：占男中平，占女差吉。胎產：男喜易產。疾病：腎水涸竭之症，或齒痛嘔血，出旬不治。出行：陸路不佳，水路可行。行人：近者立歸，遠者難定。遺失：不出本家。逃亡：在西方尋。兵戰：晝夜將凶，未見其利。

Questioning about the weather, the three transmissions are all earth, and there will be no rain. Questioning about the house, the nobleman and the virtuous spirit are present at the house, with wealth coming in layer after layer, indicating a prosperous and noble situation. Questioning about the career, the official star is present on the person, and the middle transmission is also the arrival of the official symbol, leading to a very quick appointment. Seeking wealth, the wealth is already piled up in the courtyard, and it comes without seeking. Questioning about marriage, the male side is average, while the female side is slightly favorable. Questioning about pregnancy and childbirth, it is a joyful sign of a male child, with an easy delivery. Questioning about illness, it is a symptom of dry kidney water, or toothache and bloody spitting, which cannot be cured after this旬. Questioning about travel, land travel is not good, but water travel is possible. Questioning about distant people, those nearby will return immediately, while those far away are uncertain. Questioning about lost items, the item does not leave the family. Questioning about escape, look for it in the west. Questioning about warfare, both day and night the heavenly generals are unfavorable, and there is no advantage to be seen.

畢法云：虎臨干鬼凶速速，閉口卦體兩般推。課經云：辰戌丑未為三傳，自相沖刑，可以凶制凶，是謂賊捉賊。又內有四金字，可以制化凶鬼，翻不為害。玉成歌云：三刑為鬼入家破。又云：伏吟舉動心無遂。指掌賦云：三傳純官鬼，而兄弟成災。

Two passages from the "Bi Fa Fu" state: "White Tiger near the day stem ghost brings sudden misfortune," meaning when the White Tiger is adjacent to the ghost of the day stem, misfortune comes quickly; "Closed mouth divination requires both good and bad interpretation," meaning when the divination is of the closed mouth type, both good and bad outcomes should be considered. The "Ke Jing" says: the three transmissions are in the years of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, which conflict with each other, so using a凶 to control another凶 is called "thief catching thief"; moreover, these contain four metal deities that can control and transform the凶 ghosts, thus not causing harm. The "Yu Cheng Ge" says: when the three punishments are the ghosts entering the house, the family will suffer; it also says that when the divination is of the hidden chant type, all actions will not go smoothly. The "Zhi Zhang Fu" says: when the three transmissions are all official ghosts, it leads to disaster due to the brothers' robbery.

課體：元首，退茹，解離。課義：遞相剋賊，祿被元食，難進難退，課名迫逼。

The lesson pattern has three types: the first is the head; 'retreating and swallowing', where each of the three transmissions moves backward one by one; 'severing and separating', where the heavenly stems and earthly branches mutually control and attack each other, indicating dispersion and discord. The lesson meaning says: the heavenly stems and earthly branches above and below mutually control and steal from each other, and the day's fortune is also invaded by the Black Tortoise. Moving forward is impossible, and retreating is also not possible, so this lesson is named as being forced and constrained.

解曰：干上子水，克支神之巳火。支上辰土，剋日干之癸水，是遞相剋賊也。子水為日干之祿，夜占被武侵蝕，則祿不可守矣。進而投於三傳，初中均是脫氣。又進而至於末傳，更遭鬼克，乃退而復守虛枵之祿，終無所益，難以聊生。前既不可進，後又不可退，課名迫逼，不亦宜乎。

The water of the day stem's Zi branch is going to overcome the fire of the day branch's Si branch. Meanwhile, the earth of the day branch's Chen branch is coming to overcome the water of the day stem's Gui water. There is mutual overcoming and mutual harm between the two sides. The water of Zi is originally the禄神 of the day stem's Gui water, but during the night divination, it is invaded by Yuanwu, so this禄 cannot be held on to. Trying to move forward, the first transmission and middle transmission both drain my strength. Moving further to the final transmission, I meet a ghost that overcomes me. I can only retreat and guard that empty禄, which ultimately brings no benefit and makes life difficult. Unable to move forward and with no way to retreat, this divination is appropriately named "Pressing and Forcing."

斷曰：退茹之卦，宜退不宜進。況旺祿臨身，尤宜守舊。又交互克伐，課名解離，夫婦恐有乖睽，人情亦防叵測。

The interpretation says: This lesson advises retreat rather than advancement. Moreover, since the prosperous禄神 is present at the self, one should maintain the existing situation and not start anew. Also, due to the mutual conflicts between the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the lesson is named "Separation." There may be disputes and estrangement between husband and wife, and one should also be cautious and wary of unpredictable human intentions.

天時：天罡指陰，自然有雨。家宅：人少宅寬，宦家安吉。仕宦：旺祿臨身，與末傳之官星相合，功名可望。求財：只宜謹守己財，不宜他求妄想。婚姻：占男則吉，占女不佳。胎產：男喜，母有驚恐。疾病：防遺漏風癱之症，貴醫可治。出行：陸路甚佳，水路不吉。行人：天罡加孟，尚未啟行。兵戰：晝占則凶，夜占則吉。墳葬：防損人口。

When asking about the weather, the Tiangang points to the Yin position, indicating that it will rain naturally. When asking about the household, there are few people but the courtyard is spacious, suitable for a government official's residence, which is auspicious. When asking about career prospects, the dominant禄神 (lucky god of official rank) is present, and it also harmonizes with the official star of the Final Transmission, indicating potential for official success. When seeking wealth, it is advisable to carefully guard one's existing wealth and not seek it from outside. When asking about marriage, it is favorable for the male partner but not for the female. When asking about childbirth, it is a joy for a male child, but the mother may experience fear and anxiety. When asking about illness, one should be cautious of symptoms such as bedwetting, incontinence, stroke, and paralysis; only a doctor recommended by a nobleman can effectively treat these conditions. When asking about travel, land travel is favorable, but water travel is inauspicious. When asking about distant people, the Tiangang is added to the four young branches, indicating that the person has not yet departed. When asking about military matters, a daytime divination indicates misfortune, while a nighttime divination indicates good fortune. When asking about burial, one should be cautious of potential harm to family members.

畢法云：夫婦蕪淫各有私，旺祿臨身徒妄作。課經云：辰加巳，晝夜皆乘螣蛇，地盤之巳亦蛇，名兩蛇夾墓。占病必有積塊在腹，恐致不救。或行年本命是辰，死期尤速。若年命居亥加戌，用虎沖蛇，庶得少延耳。

Two lines from the "Bi Fa Fu" say: "Spouses indulge in private affairs," meaning each spouse harbors private feelings; "Prosperous officialhood is on the person, yet still reckless actions are taken," meaning that although prosperous officialhood is already on the person, they still act recklessly in seeking elsewhere, thus wasting effort. The "Ke Jing" says: When the hour is placed on the fourth position, both day and night are occupied by Teng Snake, and the fourth position itself is also of the snake, which is called two snakes enclosing the tomb. If this is used for divination on illness, it indicates a mass formed in the abdomen, and the person is likely to die; if the person's age and birth year is exactly the third position, death will come sooner. If the birth year is in the second position and placed on the eighth position, the useful god, White Tiger, attacks the Teng Snake, perhaps it can delay death for some time.
