On the Xinchou day, seventh arrangement: the stem is on the Chen position.

課體：反吟，斬關，孤辰，井欄射。課義：天罡覆形，足又來並，初為日馬，虛動難行。解曰：天罡覆日，已見動徵。末傳為足，又遇辰土。而發用為驛馬，其動愈甚。但天罡遇空，亥亦落陷，不過虛動而已，不能揚鞭竟去也。

This lesson pattern is reverse chant,斩关,Guchen, and well shaft shooting. The lesson meaning says: The Tiangang is covering the day stem, and the final transmission, which represents the foot, also joins it, while the first transmission is still the day's post-horse, but it is only empty movement without actual movement. The explanation says: The Tiangang is pressing on the day stem, showing a sign of movement; the final transmission, representing the foot, meets the earth element of Chen; adding the initiating transmission, which is the post-horse, the momentum of movement becomes stronger. However, the Tiangang meets the kongwang, and亥 is also in decline, so it is just empty movement, ultimately unable to move forward.

斷曰：反吟之課，又逢罡馬皆動，意馬心猿，全無鞚勒。四課之上，五墓皆全。生之者固多，而撓之者亦復不少。三傳之中，初末皆空，獨餘中傳未土，乘蛇虎而沖刑。宅舍妻妾，當有不安。又初末空而中傳實者，名肩挑兩頭脫，不利動謀。

The interpretation states: The textbook of reverse chant has already become restless and uneasy, and it coincides with the movement of Tiangang and the Post-horse, causing the mind and thoughts to be uncontrolled and wandering. Among the four lessons, five types of tomb deities are all present; although there are many that support oneself, there are also many that disturb oneself. Within the three transmissions, the first and last transmissions are empty, leaving only the middle transmission unoccupied. It is occupied by the Teng Snake and White Tiger, which both attack and punish it. Therefore, there will be instability in the household and the wife and concubine. Moreover, since the first and last transmissions are empty while the middle transmission is filled, this is called shouldering both ends and being detached, which is unfavorable for initiating actions and planning.

天時：水運乎上，青龍與六合發用，陰雨之象。家宅：宅中反覆沖刑，不寧之至。仕宦：龍馬乘空，貴祿不見，占官不吉。求財：青龍已空，求之無益。婚姻：青龍與日上皆空，占婚不吉。胎產：子孫發用屬陰，孕乃成女，產速。疾病：脾土受病，腹中必有積塊，未能即愈。出行：力有不足。行人：行者立至。兵戰：青龍與六合發用，必見虛喜。墳葬：當成木局，辛乙向可以發丁。

On weather: Water vapor moves upon the Heaven Plate, with the Azure Dragon and Liu He (a heavenly general governing marriage and trade) acting as the initiating transmission, indicating the sign of rain and clouds. On the household: The house is repeatedly conflicting and injuring, reaching an extreme of instability. On officialdom: The Azure Dragon and the Post-horse both ride Kongwang, while the Nobleman and the禄神 (favor god) do not appear, indicating an unfavorable omen for official positions. On seeking wealth: The Azure Dragon has fallen into Kongwang, so seeking wealth will be of no benefit. On marriage: The Azure Dragon and the Day Stem's upper god both fall into Kongwang, indicating an unfavorable omen for marriage. On childbirth: The son or daughter爻 acts as the initiating transmission and is of a yin nature, indicating a female fetus, with childbirth happening soon. On illness: The spleen earth is diseased, and there will certainly be a mass in the abdomen, which will not recover quickly. On travel: There is insufficient strength to make the journey. On a person away: The person who has left will arrive immediately. On warfare: The Azure Dragon and Liu He act as the initiating transmission, indicating a certain emptiness and disappointment. On burial: The three transmissions should form a wood pattern, and facing from Xin to Yi will enhance the family's prosperity.

畢法云：兩貴受克難干貴。課經云：辛丑日辰加戌，為井欄射。中投辰上，末投日上，如井上加木，易欹易斜，不能長久。動則宜，靜則擾，事無憑依，一身兩用。縱遇吉神，亦是半遂。然直道則途窮，旁求則事就。君於道消，小人道長之象。

The *Bifa Fu* says: If both the day and night noblemen are overcome, it is difficult to seek the nobleman through the stem. The *Ke Jing* says: On Xinchou day, the day branch falls on Xu, forming a well mouth shooting. The middle transmission falls on Chen, and the final transmission falls on the day stem, like a wooden beam placed across the well mouth, which is easily tilted and cannot last long. This divination is suitable when it is active, but when it is still, it is disturbed, and the matter has no support, requiring one to bear the burden of two. Even if a good god appears, it can only satisfy half the wish. Going straight leads to a dead end, but finding a way around succeeds, indicating the image of the virtue of the gentleman declining and the way of the petty person growing.

課體：重審，勵德，蕪淫。課義：干乘旬尾，支乘旬始，交互相擒，進退難矣。解曰：卯乃旬尾，臨於干上。午乃旬首，臨干支上。且卯木克支丑，午火克干辛，是交互相擒也。卯作用神，進既受申金之克。退歸本家，又被辛傷，進退不甚艱難乎。

This lesson pattern is called Re-examination, Encouraging Virtue, and Wasteful Indulgence. The lesson meaning says: the day stem is at the end of a ten-day cycle, and the day branch is at the beginning of a ten-day cycle. They mutually restrain each other, making it difficult to advance or retreat. The explanation is:卯 (Mao) is the last position of the current ten-day cycle, positioned above the day stem; 午 (Wu) is the first position of the current ten-day cycle, positioned above both the day stem and day branch. The wood of Mao is able to restrain the earth of the day branch's Chou (丑), and the fire of Wu is able to restrain the metal of the day stem's Xin (辛). This is mutual restraint. The wood of Mao serves as the initiating transmission, advancing it is restrained by the metal of Shen (申), and retreating it is injured by the metal of Xin (辛). How difficult is it to advance or retreat?

斷曰：課名周遍，終始相宜。又曰蕪淫，夫妻不協。支乘敗氣而害支，宅必頹壞。胎神臨干而受克，孕必損傷。干乘六合，支乘六害，又有人憂我樂之象。

The interpretation states: The lesson is comprehensive, covering the entire ten-day cycle from beginning to end, with everything being appropriate. However, it is also called Wu Yin, indicating marital discord. The day stem is riding on a declining energy, which harms the day branch, leading to the inevitable decline and ruin of the residence; theFetal Spirit (fetus spirit) is present on the day stem and is being overcome, resulting in harm to pregnancy. The day stem is riding on Liu He (Six Harmonies), while the day branch is riding on Liu Hai (Six Harm), and there is an image of others worrying while oneself is happy.

天時：水運乎上，天罡指亥，六龍昇天，不日有雨。家宅：晝貴臨宅，祖必居官，或占士庶，官訟難免。求財：宜得陰私閉口之財。婚姻：支干相破，又且交互相剋，名曰蕪淫，占婚最忌。仕宦：貴乘敗氣，亦不甚吉。疾病：晝虎乘墓，腹中必生積塊，且兩虎夾墓，病不易痊。遺失：晝元乘財，物必賊竊，元武陰陽交克，捕之極易。出行：陸路防失，水路可行。行人：天罡加孟，尚未啟行。兵戰：進退雖難，後卻無害。

On weather: Water vapor moves upon the Heaven Plate, and the Tiangang points to the Hai position, with many dragons ascending to the sky, rain is sure to come within a few days. On the household: The Nobleman is present on the house爻 during the day, indicating the ancestors must have held official positions; if divining for scholars or common people, legal troubles are inevitable. On seeking wealth: It is favorable to obtain hidden and secret wealth. On marriage: The Day Branch and Day Stem are in mutual destruction, and they also mutually control each other, called Wu Yin, which is most unfavorable for marriage divination. On officialdom: The Nobleman is riding a declining energy, which is not very auspicious. On illness: The White Tiger is riding the tomb god during the day, there must be a mass forming in the abdomen, and with two White Tigers surrounding the tomb, the illness is difficult to recover from. On lost items: The Black Tortoise is riding the wealth爻 during the day, the item must have been stolen by thieves; the Yin and Yang spirits of the Black Tortoise mutually control each other, making the search for the item extremely easy. On travel: Be cautious of theft when traveling by land, but traveling by water is acceptable. On people on the move: The Tiangang is placed on the four beginning positions, indicating the person has not yet started the journey. On warfare: Although advancing and retreating are difficult, there will be no harm in the future.

畢法云：首尾相見始終宜，夫婦蕪淫各有私，鬼乘天乙乃神祇。指南：二月戌將巳時占，曰：所占外官曾經降罰者。曰：何以知之？因日生龍，上克下故也。曰：兄任太平府，為錢糧降罰，有礙升遷否。曰：首尾相見，何礙升遷。青龍去支六位，初傳月建生官，中傳天馬為驛郵。七月內必升吳分兵憲，後果遷嘉湖驛傳。

The "Bifa Fu" says: If both the first and last heavenly stems of a ten-day period appear, and the beginning and end are harmonious, then the couple each have private intentions, which is a lesson of disorderly relationships; if the ghost爻 is riding on the heavenly nobleman, it is a case of divine interference. The "Liu Ren Zhi Nan" states: In the second month, take the dog (戌) as the month general, and start the lesson at the snake hour (巳). The practitioner says: The official you are consulting has been previously demoted. The person asks: How did you know? The practitioner answers: Because the day stem generates the azure dragon, and the upper god controls the lower god. The person says: My elder brother holds an office in Pingtai Prefecture, and was demoted for financial shortages, will this hinder his promotion? The practitioner answers: Since both the first and last heavenly stems of the ten-day period are present, how can it hinder promotion? The azure dragon is six positions away from the day branch, the first transmission is the month general and generates the official star, the middle transmission's heavenly horse clearly indicates a position related to transportation. Within seven months, he will certainly be promoted to the position of military supervisor in Wu region. Later, he was indeed transferred to the transportation office in Jiaxing and Huzhou.

課體：知一，從革，蕪淫，狡童。課義：交相剋戰，祿丁難戀，天網恢恢，吉凶立見。解曰：干上寅木克支，支上巳火克干，是交相剋戰也。發用之酉金，為日之祿神、旬遁得丁，落空坐克，晝將六合內戰，傳墓入墓，是祿不可戀也。巳為日干之長生，寅為支上之長生，交相滋生，固見吉矣。而彼此相剋，凶亦見焉。是我孟害人，人亦害我。我以善往，人亦以善來。所謂天網恢恢，吉凶立見者歟。

This lesson pattern is known as Zhi Yi, Cong Ge, Wu Yin, Jiao Tong. The lesson meaning says: both sides are mutually controlling and fighting, the禄神 and 丁神 should not be cherished, the heavenly net is vast yet sparse, and good and bad fortune are immediately evident. The explanation is: the寅 wood on the day stem is controlling the day branch, while the巳 fire on the day branch is controlling the day stem, which is mutual control and fighting. The酉 gold serving as the initiating transmission is the day's禄神, and in the ten-day cycle it is 丁, which has fallen into Kongwang and is seated in a position being controlled. During the day, the heavenly general六合 is still fighting internally, and the three transmissions'墓 also enters the墓, showing that this禄 cannot be cherished. The巳 is the day stem's growth, and the寅 is the day branch's god's growth, so they mutually nourish each other and show good fortune; however, both sides also mutually injure each other, so bad fortune also appears. This is me harming others and others harming me; I treat others with kindness, and they respond with kindness. What is meant by the heavenly net being vast and sparse, and good and bad fortune being immediately evident, is exactly this meaning.

斷曰：蕪淫之卦，人各異心。干支之上，寅巳相刑，陰神年酉，復又自刑，絕少和氣。祿神入墓，占官不吉，簾貴臨干，考試最宜。

The divination indicates: a lesson of disorder and indulgence, with everyone harboring different intentions. The day stem and day branch are in conflict with寅 and巳, and the metal element, which is the hidden god, is in conflict with itself, resulting in little harmony. The official star falls into the storage, which is unfavorable for official positions; however, the nobleman is present on the day stem, making it most suitable for predicting exam results.

天時：畢宿發用，但遭空陷，恐不能雨。仕宦：貴雖臨身，必須德祿填實，方有實濟，否則徒有虛聲而已。家宅：課名泆女，不正之象。求財：宜得兩處貴人財帛。婚姻：蕪淫作課，占婚不吉。胎產：女胎，防墮。疾病：心經之症，當遇良醫。捕獲：元武已空，賊盜難獲。出行：水路宜防夜失，陸路晝夜俱佳。行人：當有同伴人來。兵戰：發用龍合，出兵吉利。

On weather: The Net mansion takes the initiating transmission, but encounters Kongwang and falls into a trap, so rain is likely to be absent. On official career: Although the Nobleman is present, one must wait until the empty position where the virtue god and the fortune god fall is filled, then real help can be obtained; otherwise, it is only empty reputation. On the household: The lesson name is a wandering woman, indicating improper conduct. On seeking wealth: Wealth should be obtained from two Noblemen. On marriage: The lesson forms a disorderly union, indicating an unfavorable marriage. On pregnancy: A female fetus is carried, and there is a risk of miscarriage. On illness: It is a symptom of the heart meridian, and a good doctor should be encountered. On capturing: The Black Tortoise has fallen into an empty position, making it difficult to capture thieves. On travel: Traveling by water should beware of theft at night, while traveling by land is good both day and night. On a traveler: There will be a companion coming together. On warfare: The initiating transmission is the Azure Dragon and Liu He, indicating a favorable military campaign.

畢法云：貴雖坐獄宜臨干，彼此猜忌害相隨，傳墓入墓分憎愛，合中犯殺蜜中砒。神應經云：辛日初傳見於酉，必因兄弟及己身之祿而動。午加寅兩貴相加，事必涉兩貴而就。精蘊云：干支坐敗，人衰宅壞。要覽云：孟夏占升遷大吉。

The "Bifa Fu" says: Although a nobleman is seated in the position of imprisonment, if he is on the day stem, it is still appropriate; mutual suspicion leads to the six harmful influences following; if the three transmissions'墓 are also in墓, one must distinguish between affection and hatred; if a conjunction involves a凶杀, it is like adding arsenic to honey. The "Shenyingsheng" says: On a辛 day, if the first transmission meets酉, the matter will certainly be initiated by a brother or one's own禄 position; if午 is added on寅, it indicates two noblemen joining together, and the matter must involve two noblemen to be accomplished. The "Lunin Jingyun" says: If both the day stem and day branch are in a败 position, the person will be in decline and the house will be in disrepair. The "Yaolan" says: Starting a lesson in early summer is very auspicious for promotion.

課體：別責，斬關，寡宿，不備。課義：晝墓虎耽，若此者三，宅墮入晦，守德戒貪。解曰：丑乃日墓，晝乘白虎，一見於日上，兩見於傳中，耽耽而視者三，可謂極驚極危矣。日與辰各乘墓神，是宅必墮而人必晦也。惟宜守此初傳之空德，庶可少安。若貪生氣前往，遂被初傳空鬼所克，及中末墓虎傷害，禍患不可勝言矣。

This divination lesson has a pattern of separate blame, cutting off the gate, guasu, and incompleteness. The meaning of the lesson states: a white tiger is sitting on the day's墓神 during the day, and this combination appears three times, indicating that the house will collapse and family fortune will turn dark, and one should only hold onto the virtue spirit and avoid greed. The explanation says: the earthy branch of丑 is the墓库 of the day's stem, and during the day it is occupied by the white tiger. This appears once on the day's stem, and twice within the three transmissions, making a total of three instances of the white tiger watching intently, which is extremely dangerous. The day's stem and day's branch each carry the墓神, so the house must surely collapse and people will surely become confused and dark. At this time, one should only hold onto the virtue spirit in the first transmission, which is empty, to gain some stability; if one is greedy for life energy and moves forward, one will be attacked by the empty ghost in the first transmission, and also suffer harm from the middle and final transmissions'墓虎, leading to endless misfortunes.

斷曰：別責之課，事宜別圖，謀須改轍，方有所就。然發用之德神既空，不過虛譽空名而已。以彼我而論，支空干實，不可倚為腹心，諺所謂明月照溝渠者是也。

The interpretation says: Do not blame the current situation; the matter should be approached differently, and plans must be changed to achieve success. However, the deity initiating the transmission has already fallen into emptiness, amounting to nothing but empty reputation. Considering both sides, the day branch is empty while the day stem is filled, meaning the other party cannot be relied upon as a close confidant. This is exactly what the common saying means: the bright moon shines on the ditch, and good intentions are wasted.

天時：日上乘墓，發用火空，濃陰而已。家宅：支上乘墓，復作六破，昏晦破敗之象。仕宦：官德用空，占官不吉。求財：財神雖暗動，夜占可得。婚姻：支干相破，占婚不宜。胎產：陰神不備，孕乃成男，支干相破，孕凶產吉。疾病：腹中必生積塊，倘若年命有木神相救，始可言生。出行：陸路甚凶。行人：支墓臨支，行者立至。兵戰：主客不吉。

On weather: The day stem is riding on theTomb Spirit (mound spirit), and the initiating fire is falling into emptiness, indicating only dense clouds. On the household: The day branch is riding on theTomb Spirit, and forms the six breaks, indicating a dark and ruined appearance. On officialdom: The official star, virtue spirit, and initiating transmission all fall into emptiness, which is unfavorable for official matters. On seeking wealth: Although the wealth spirit is active in secret, one can succeed in obtaining wealth at night. On marriage: The day stem and day branch break each other, making marriage unfavorable. On childbirth: The yin side is incomplete, indicating a male fetus; the day stem and day branch break each other, suggesting danger during pregnancy but good fortune at childbirth. On illness: There must be a mass forming in the abdomen; only if the personal year has a wood spirit to save can one hope for survival. On travel: Traveling by land is extremely dangerous. On a person away: TheTomb Spirit (mound spirit) of the day branch is on the day branch, indicating that the person away will arrive immediately. On warfare: Both the main and opposing sides are unfavorable.

畢法云：干乘墓虎毋占病，干支乘墓各昏迷。課經云：六辛日白虎作墓臨干，占病不吉，更宜提防仇家，執而拯楚。冬占稍可，以丑至冬旺，可以作庫也。秘要云：華蓋逢空，喚醒夢中。

The "Bifa Fu" says: If the day stem is occupied by theTomb Spirit White Tiger, do not use it to divinate about illness; if both the day stem and day branch are occupied byTomb Spirit, both sides are dim and unclear. The "Ke Jing" says: On six days with the stem Xin, the White Tiger transforms into theTomb Spirit and appears on the day stem, which is unfavorable for divination about illness and one should also be cautious of enemies capturing and torturing someone. In winter, the course of divination is slightly better, because the earth branch Chou becomes stronger in winter and can be used as a storage. The "Mi Yao" says: When the star Huagai meets Kongwang, it is exactly the right time to awaken the person from a dream.

課體：元首，蕪淫。課義：先交後爭，上下相刑，笑裡含毒，冬夜火驚。解曰：干上子水，與支丑相合。支上卯木，與干戌相合。交互相合，是先相交好也。既而干支之上神，子卯相刑，支與干又丑戌相刑，干辛克支卯，支丑克干子，是後相爭競也。合中見刑，豈非嘻笑之中，內含鴆毒乎。冬占卯為火鬼，夜將乘蛇克宅，宅中必有火燭之驚。

This lesson pattern is called "Original Head" and "Wu Yin." The lesson meaning says: first there is mutual friendship, then there is conflict, with mutual punishment between superior and inferior, smiling faces hiding poison, and a fire alarm during the night in winter. The explanation is: the water of the day stem and the earth of the day branch combine, and the wood of the day branch combines with the earth of the day stem, with mutual combination on both sides, which represents the initial friendly relationship. However, later the heavenly stem of the day and the heavenly stem of the day branch, which is the water and the wood, mutually punish each other, and the earth of the day branch and the earth of the day stem, which is the earth and the earth, also mutually punish each other. The metal of the day stem, which is the day stem, goes to punish the wood of the day branch, and the earth of the day branch goes to punish the water of the day stem. This is the later conflict. Combination with punishment, how can it not be smiling faces hiding poison? If the lesson is cast in winter, the wood becomes a fire ghost, and at night the heavenly general rides the Teng Snake to punish the domestic yao, so there will certainly be a fire alarm from candles at home.

斷曰：干上乘脫，晝乘天空，謂之脫空神，無中生有之象，不足取信。支上財神發用，晝乘元武克宅，盜賊難防。交車相合，大宜交涉財帛。干支各乘死神，諸事總宜休息。長生官德俱空，常人宜占，仕宦則忌。

The interpretation says: The day stem is riding on a spirit that releases energy, and during the day it also rides on Tian Kong, which is called the spirit of emptiness. This represents an image of something arising from nothing, so it should not be taken lightly. The wealth spirit on the day branch serves as the initiating transmission, and during the day it rides on the Black Tortoise to overcome the dwelling hexagram, so thieves should be constantly guarded against. The day stem and day branch interact and form a harmonious combination, which is most favorable for transactions and dealings involving money. The day stem and day branch each ride on the death deity, so it is best to pause and rest for all matters. The hexagram of growth, the official star, and the virtue spirit all fall into emptiness. For ordinary people, this is acceptable, but for officials, it is something to be cautious about.

天時：三傳遞生克水，天罡指陽，不能得雨。家宅：人宅不和，且防失盜。仕宦：貴祿不見，占官不利。求財：宜得闇昧驚恐之財。婚姻：干支相刑，占婚不吉。胎產：下弱上強，孕乃成男；上神相刑，惟產不忌。疾病：肝經受病，胸脅多風。出行：晝占防失，水路稍可。行人：天罡加孟，尚未起身。兵戰：宜防虛詐，未見有利。

On weather: The three transmissions turn around and generate each other, yet they overcome the water energy, and the Tiangang points to the yang position, so rain is not obtained. On the household: The person and the house are not in harmony, and one should also beware of theft. On officialdom: Neither the nobleman nor the禄神 appear, which is unfavorable for official positions. On seeking wealth: It is suitable to gain money that comes secretly and brings some fright. On marriage: The day stem and day branch are in conflict, which is unfavorable for marriage. On pregnancy: The lower deity is weak while the upper deity is strong, so the fetus is likely male; although the upper deity is in conflict, when it comes to childbirth, there is no need to be cautious. On illness: The illness is in the liver meridian, and there is much wind evil in the chest and ribs. On travel: When casting the divination in the daytime, one should beware of loss or theft, but traveling by water is still acceptable. On a traveler: The Tiangang is placed in the position of the four beginning months, so the person has not yet started moving. On warfare: One should be cautious of deceit and fraud, and there is no obvious benefit to be seen.

畢法云：空上逢空事莫追，夫婦蕪淫各有私，賓主不投刑在上，不行傳者考初時，罡塞鬼戶任謀為。匯函云：辛丑日卯加丑，乃初生中，中生末，末生干。但中空末陷，恐成虛話。倘年月並於本命，而又填實，亦可謂之三傳遞生人舉薦也。

The "Bifa Fu" says: If an empty position meets another empty position, there is no need to pursue further; if husband and wife each have private intentions, it is a lesson of improper relations; if the host and guest cannot agree, the root cause lies in the two divine spirits being in conflict; when the three transmissions cannot proceed, one should return to examine the initiating transmission and the time of divination; if the Tiangang blocks the ghost's entrance, no matter how one plans, it will be ineffective. The "Huihan" says: On Xinchou day, the卯 is placed on the丑, which means the first transmission generates the middle transmission, the middle transmission generates the final transmission, and the final transmission generates the day stem. However, if the middle transmission falls into an empty position and the final transmission is in a fallen position, it may just be an empty statement; if the year, month, and personal destiny are aligned, and the empty position is filled, then it can be considered that the three transmissions pass on to each other, and someone will recommend someone else.

課體：元首，進茹。課義：脫氣臨日，夜元走失，病訟深畏，取財宜疾。解曰：干上亥水，盜脫干氣。夜占乘武，走失無疑。晝占白虎脫干，勾陳克宅，病訟不免纏綿。寅為日財臨支，急宜取之，遲則反被丑土所墓，不能入手矣。

This lesson pattern is "Yuan Shou" and "Jin Ru." The lesson meaning says: the spirit that disperses energy is present on the day stem, and at night when it is accompanied by Yuan Wu, there will certainly be loss, illness, and lawsuits, which are all dangerous. To obtain wealth, one must act quickly. The explanation is: the亥 water on the day stem steals the energy of the day stem, and at night when the lesson is cast, it is accompanied by Yuan Wu, so loss is certain; during the day, the White Tiger steals the energy of the day stem, and "Gou Chen" (a heavenly general governing disputes, land, and lawsuits) also overcomes the house爻, so illness and lawsuits will persist. The寅 wood is the wealth爻 of this day and is located on the day branch, so one must hurry to obtain it. If delayed, it will be taken into theStorage by the丑 earth, and will not be obtained.

斷曰：進茹空亡，諸事不宜前進。干乘天羅，支乘地網。初傳入墓，末傳落空，總宜退益思退，方免釁端。三傳俱財，末空不能生起官星，仕宦得此，必主丁艱。

The interpretation says: advancing to take food but encountering Kongwang, all matters are unsuitable for further progress. The day stem is riding the Heavenly Net, and the day branch is riding the Earthly Net; the first transmission falls into the Storage, and the final transmission falls into Kongwang. One should retreat again and again, only then can one avoid troubles. All three transmissions are wealth threads, with the final transmission falling into Kongwang, unable to generate official stars. A person in official position who takes this divination will surely face the death of his parents and have to resign due to mourning.

天時：大風無雨。家宅：夜貴克宅，當受林下縉紳之欺。仕宦：貴人發用，夜占稍吉，但末遇空亡，有始無終之象。求財：爭訟得財，遲則化為烏有。婚姻：寅亥相合，事必有成，夜占女吉，恐非快婿。胎產：二陽包陰，孕必育女，干支相合，胎吉產遲。疾病：肝經受傷，速治即愈。出行：陸路防失，水路稍可。行人：干支相合，未酉日到。兵戰：只宜謹守，不宜妄動。

On weather: there is only strong wind, no rain. On the household: the nobleman in the night is attacking the house爻, indicating the household will be oppressed by local gentry. On official career: the nobleman is the initiating transmission, the night's divination is somewhat auspicious, but the final transmission meets kongwang, indicating an incomplete outcome. On seeking wealth: wealth is obtained through litigation, but it will eventually vanish if delayed. On marriage: yin and hai are in harmony, the marriage will certainly succeed; the night's divination favors the woman, but the son-in-law may not be satisfactory. On pregnancy: two yang爻 surround one yin爻, indicating a female fetus; the day stem and day branch are in harmony, the pregnancy is stable but the delivery is delayed. On illness: the liver meridian is injured, and prompt treatment will lead to recovery. On travel: traveling by land should beware of loss, while traveling by water is acceptable. On a traveler: the day stem and day branch are in harmony, the person will arrive on the sixth or eighth day. On warfare: it is advisable to be cautious and defend, rather than act rashly.

畢法云：所謀多拙逢羅網，傳財太旺反財虧(春占)，進茹空亡宜退步。精蘊云：課逢羅網，不能亨快。如年命上神，有沖破之者，名為破羅破網，或遇空亡，亦可免咎。指掌賦云：進連茹空，名曰聲傳空谷，退吉而進則不宜。天官論云：貴人臨寅為憑几，可渴見於家庭。玉華略云：勾陳主羅網之災。

The "Bifa Fu" says: encountering Luo Wang, the matters intended are mostly clumsy and difficult to achieve; when the three transmissions have excessive wealth, it is actually a loss of wealth (referring to classes started in spring); advancing while encountering Kongwang, it is advisable to retreat and defend. The "Liu Ren Jing Yun" says: encountering Luo Wang in the class, the matters cannot proceed smoothly; if the upper god of the birth year can break through it, it is called breaking Luo and breaking Wang, or if it coincides with Kongwang, it can also avoid calamities. The "Zhipang Fu" says: advancing continuously while encountering Kongwang in the three transmissions, it is called sound echoing through an empty valley, retreating is auspicious, but advancing is not advisable. The "Tian Gao Lun" says: if the Nobleman is on the寅 position, it is called relying on the platform, and one can meet calmly at home. The "Yuhua Lue" says: Gou Chen governs disasters such as Luo Wang.

課體：伏吟，元胎，勵德。課義：交合既有，祿破空守，中末空脫，晝遭賊手。解曰：寅與亥合，上下交互相合，是交合既有也。亥祿發用，上乘天空，故不可守。投於中傳，乃是脫氣，再投末傳，財遇旬空，未免仍歸干上。晝被天將所傷，故曰晝遭賊手也。

This lesson pattern isHidden Chant (Hidden Chant), 元胎 (Original Fetus), and 励德 (Encouraging Virtue). The lesson meaning says: the image of union and combination is already complete, but the禄神 (favorable deity) is broken and cannot be held onto; both the middle transmission and the final transmission fall into emptiness and lose energy, and during the day one will suffer loss from thieves. The explanation is:寅 (Yin) and 亥 (Hai) combine, with mutual combination between upper and lower parts, so the image of union is already present. The亥 water禄神 serves as the initiating transmission, with Tian Kong (Heavenly Void) above it, so it cannot be held onto; it moves to the middle transmission, which is a deity that loses energy; then it moves to the final transmission, where the wealth爻 meets the旬空 (decade emptiness), and ultimately returns to the day stem. During the day, it is harmed by the Heavenly General (Heavenly General), so it suffers loss from thieves during the day.

斷曰：元胎之課，旺祿臨身，止宜靜守，不宜妄作。干支作六合，干支上下，亦作六合，大宜合本謀生。三傳迤邐生財，雖空不至失望。巳年月占之，財源自旺。占遇此者，始初必情投意合，後來卻脫耗無窮。

The divination states: This lesson indicates a situation of potential development and waiting for the right time, with a strong and prosperous禄神 (lucky god) appearing in the self. It is most suitable to remain calm and maintain existing conditions, and not to act recklessly. The day stem and day branch form Liu He (six harmonies), and the upper and lower gods of the day stem and day branch also form Liu He. It is most appropriate to合伙 (cooperate) and invest in business. The three transmissions gradually generate wealth, even though they may fall into emptiness, it does not lead to disappointment. If the lesson is cast in the year or month of巳 (snake), the source of wealth will naturally be abundant. Those who receive this lesson initially will have mutual affection, but later will experience continuous loss and expenditure.

天時：天地不動，雨占仍雨，晴占仍晴。家宅：人宅相生，有和美安寧之象。仕宦：貴人落空，祿被將克，占官欠利。求財：晝占宜得貴人之財。婚姻：支干相合，晝占乘合，可結朱陳。胎產：二陰包陽，妊乃成男，支干相合，產恐遲延。疾病：肝經受病，虛脫之症，即愈。出行：人宅相戀，行期自愆。行人：近者立至，遠者未來。兵戰：利主而不利客。

On weather: In a situation of hidden chant, the heaven plate and earth plate do not move; if it is raining when the divination is cast, it will still rain, and if it is sunny, it will still be sunny. On the household: The person and the house mutually generate each other, indicating a harmonious and peaceful situation. On officialdom: The nobleman falls into kongwang, and the official star is overcome by the heavenly general, indicating unfavorable fortune for official positions. On seeking wealth: During the day, it is favorable to gain wealth through the nobleman. On marriage: The day stem and day branch are in harmony, and the divination during the day is accompanied by liu he, indicating a favorable match. On pregnancy: Two yin lines envelop one yang line, indicating a male fetus; the day stem and day branch are in harmony, suggesting a possible delay in childbirth. On illness: The illness is in the liver meridian, indicating a condition of exhaustion, which will recover quickly. On travel: The person and the house are mutually attached, causing the departure date to be delayed. On a missing person: Those who are close by will arrive immediately, while those who are far away will not arrive yet. On warfare: Favorable for the main party but unfavorable for the opposing party.

畢法云：交車相合交關利，用破身心無所歸，旺祿臨身徒妄作，上下皆合兩心齊。秘要云：日德加亥為用，名德入天門，占試必中。蓋亥為天門，德者，得也。纂義云：冬占旺祿，守之自足，一或妄動，耗費勞碌。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches meet in the vehicle, trade transactions are beneficial; when the initiating transmission meets a breaking, the mind and body have nowhere to rest; when the prosperous and official rank are present on the day stem, any movement is in vain; when both upper and lower are in harmony, the thoughts of both sides are consistent. The "Miyao" says: When the day stem's virtue god is added on the亥 and serves as the initiating transmission, it is called virtue entering the heavenly gate, and predicting an examination will certainly result in success; because亥 is the heavenly gate, and virtue means to gain. The "Zanyi" says: When starting a lesson in winter meets the prosperous and official rank, holding onto it naturally suffices, but once there is reckless movement, it results only in expenditure and toil.

課體：知一，退茹，斬關。課義：虎臨戊戌，身邊並立，同類相扶，其凶再及。解曰：戌遁得戊，晝夜皆乘白虎，則虎臨干作鬼傷干，壬雖汪洋，恐難堪矣。幸初傳子旺，中傳亥祿，俱為同類，自能相助。不知末傳，復遇天魁，其凶仍熾也。

This lesson pattern is known as "Zhi Yi", "Tui Ru", and "Zhan Guan". The lesson interpretation states: the White Tiger is positioned above Wu Xu, standing beside itself; although there are similar elements coming to assist, the danger still arises again. The explanation is: Wu earth retreats onto Xu, and both day and night are governed by the White Tiger, so the White Tiger is present on the day stem, transforming into a ghost line to injure the day stem. Although the壬 water is vast and mighty, it may still not be able to withstand this. Fortunately, the first transmission is Zi water, which is strong, and the middle transmission is Hai water, which is the禄神, both being similar to the day stem and thus able to assist. Who would have thought that the final transmission encounters Tian Gui Xu earth, and the ominous trend remains intense.

斷曰：退茹之課，又兼魁度天門，而干支復拱三傳，凡占有擁遏不行之象。如占人年命，在支干之外，名透關格，方能塞極而通。青龍旺神發用，中祿末官，催官符至，仕宦占之最吉。

The interpretation states: The textbook of retreat and consumption has gradually receded step by step, and also involves the influence of the戌 (Xu) added to亥 (Hai) with the degree of the魁 (Kui), combined with the day stem and day branch enclosing the three transmissions in the middle. Whatever is being divined shows an image of obstruction and blockage. If the person's birth year and destiny fall outside the day stem and day branch, this is called the Transcending Obstruction Pattern, and only then can the extreme blockage turn into smooth flow. The Azure Dragon, which is a prosperous deity, serves as the initiating transmission. The middle transmission is the禄 (Lu), and the final transmission is the官 (Guan). The symbol of promoting officialdom is approaching, making it most auspicious for someone in officialdom.

天時：日被關格，太陽必掩，水被關格，陰雲無雨。家宅：支上與初傳作牛女合，夏占必有婚姻之喜。仕宦：催官臨子，夜祿帶綬，占官最吉。求財：青龍乘劫財羊刃之上，取之必有所傷。婚姻：支干相刑，占婚不利。胎產：下強上弱，二陽包陰，女孕產速。疾病：腹中之疾，或腎水不足，難愈。盜逃：夜元臨子，被支干關格夾定，捕之必獲。出行：陸路最凶。行人：天罡加孟，尚未啟行。兵戰：課名關格，恐不能動。

On weather: sunlight is blocked by the obstruction, so the sun will be obscured; water vapor is also blocked by the obstruction, resulting in only dark clouds but no rain. On the household: the day branch's heavenly spirit and the first transmission form a conjunction between Cow and Female Ox, so if the lesson is cast in summer, there will be joy from marriage. On officialdom: the official promotion spirit is located on the Zi position, and the night's luck spirit carries the seal, which is the most auspicious for official matters. On seeking wealth: the Azure Dragon is on the劫财 and Yangren, so the pursuit will certainly suffer damage. On marriage: the day stem and day branch are in conflict, so the fortune for marriage is unfavorable. On childbirth: the lower spirit is strong while the upper spirit is weak, with two yang lines wrapping around one yin line, indicating a female fetus, and the delivery will be quick. On illness: it is a disease in the abdomen, or a deficiency of kidney water, which is difficult to cure. On theft and escape: the Black Tortoise is on the Zi position at night, and is caught between the obstruction of the day stem and day branch, so the capture is certain. On travel: traveling by land is most dangerous. On people on the move: the Tiangang is on the four young positions, so the person has not yet started. On military conflict: the lesson name is 关格, so it is likely that military action will not be taken.

畢法云：干乘墓虎毋占病，二貴皆空虛喜期，虎乘遁鬼殃非淺，虎臨干鬼凶速速。課經云：辰加巳，晝夜天將皆乘螣蛇，地盤巳亦螣蛇之位，是名兩蛇夾墓，占病必有積塊在腹，以致不救。或行年在辰，其病尤急。如年命居亥，乘戌用虎沖蛇，亦名破墓，庶得少延。指掌賦云：子亥戌為重陰，安嘉遁之形，寧甘沒齒。

The "Bifa Fu" says: If the day stem is occupied by theTomb Spirit White Tiger, it should not be used to predict illness; if two noblemen fall into the empty position, good news is just an empty date; if White Tiger rides the遁干 ghost爻, the calamity is severe; if White Tiger is on the day stem and transforms into a ghost, misfortune comes quickly. The "Ke Jing" says: If the辰 is placed on the巳, the heavenly generals during day and night both ride the Teng Snake, and the巳 position on the earth plate is originally the position of Teng Snake, this is called two snakes enclosing the tomb, and predicting illness will certainly indicate a mass in the abdomen, leading to an inevitable death; if the year pillar is on the辰, the illness is especially critical. If the original destiny's year pillar is on the亥, riding the戌 and using White Tiger to冲 Teng Snake, this is also called breaking the tomb, perhaps it can slightly prolong life. The "Zhipang Fu" says: The three transmissions of Zi, Hai, and Xu represent a heavy yin image, being content with a peaceful and reclusive posture, it is better to remain out all one's life.

課體：元首，間傳，驀越。課義：先生後敗，午財休賴，助起初傳，戌虎無奈。解曰：干上酉金，能生壬水。支上子水，能生寅木。但壬水敗於酉，寅木敗於子，豈非先生而後敗。末傳之午火，雖是日財，但能生起初傳之虎鬼而傷日干，日干亦奈之何哉。

This lesson pattern is called Yuan Shou, Jian Chuan, and Mo Yue. The lesson meaning says: first receiving a benefit, then encountering failure; the wealth hexagram of the noon fire is unreliable, as it supports the first transmission, and the white tiger on the戌 position leaves one helpless. The explanation is: the酉 gold on the day stem can generate the壬 water, and the子 water on the day branch can generate the寅 wood; however, the壬 water is weakened by the酉, and the寅 wood is weakened by the子, so it is not receiving benefit before encountering failure. Although the noon fire in the final transmission is the wealth hexagram of the day, it only serves to generate the ghost formed by the white tiger in the first transmission to harm the day stem; how can the day stem deal with it?

斷曰：課名驀越，事豈忽然。戌為明鬼，遁出戊土為暗鬼。明暗二鬼相併，又乘白虎，可謂至凶至急。惟貴人遇此，則主威權獨任，武達文通。末財生官，大宜納粟。若問求財，則財化為鬼，必生禍端。

The judgment states: The name of the divination indicates a sudden occurrence, and matters often come abruptly. The hour of Xu is clearly a ghost, and when it escapes from the earth element Wu, it becomes a hidden ghost. Both the visible and hidden ghosts are present together, and it is accompanied by the White Tiger, which signifies extreme danger and urgency. However, if a Nobleman is involved in this divination, he will hold great power and be successful in both military and scholarly pursuits. The final transmission of wealth generates officials, making it most suitable to donate grain and rice in pursuit of official rank. If the question is about seeking wealth, the wealth turns into a ghost, inevitably leading to trouble.

天時：酉宿臨日，龍虎發用剋日，有雨。家宅：青合生支，必多喜慶。仕宦：催官甚速，占名最利。求財：宜得婦女陰私之財。婚姻：晝占頗吉，患在難就。胎產：占逢七月，妻必有孕，夜占乃係私胎，上強下弱，孕乃成男，子母相破，孕凶產吉。疾病：腎水枯涸之症，病勢極篤。盜賊：晝占則向西南貴人家捕之，夜占則向東南貴人家捕之。出行：晝占水陸皆佳，夜占陸路欠利。行人：天罡加仲，尚在中途。兵戰：利主不利客。

On weather: The酉 (You) star is present on the day stem, with the Azure Dragon and White Tiger acting as the initiating transmission to overcome the day stem, indicating rain. On the household: The Azure Dragon and Liu He support the day branch, meaning there will be much joy in the family. On official career: It greatly accelerates promotion, and is most favorable for achieving fame and status. On seeking wealth: It is suitable to obtain money from women's private funds. On marriage: The course cast in the daytime is quite auspicious, but the problem is that the marriage may not be completed. On pregnancy: If the course is cast in July, the wife is certainly pregnant; if cast at night, the pregnancy is due to private relations. The upper deity is strong and the lower deity is weak, indicating a male fetus; if the child and mother are in conflicting positions, the pregnancy is ominous but the delivery is favorable. On illness: This indicates a condition of dryness in the kidney water, and the illness is extremely severe. On thieves: If the course is cast in the daytime, search for the thieves at the Southwest nobleman's house; if cast at night, search at the Southeast nobleman's house. On travel: If the course is cast in the daytime, both water and land routes are favorable; if cast at night, traveling by land is less favorable. On a traveler: The Tiangang is placed on the fourth cardinal position, indicating the person is still on the way. On warfare: It is favorable for the main side and unfavorable for the opposing side.

畢法云：二貴皆空虛喜期，虎乘遁鬼殃非淺，末助初兮三等論。課經云：壬寅日戌加子發用，夜將乘龍剋日，乃幸中之不幸。中傳申金，夜乘白虎生干，乃不幸中之幸，此為一喜一悲。神定經云：干上酉作敗氣，又為破碎，必宅中有人不利，日致衰殘。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When two noblemen are in empty positions, good news is just an empty promise; when the white tiger rides upon the hidden stem ghost爻, calamity is not light; when the final transmission supports the first transmission, it should be divided into three categories for discussion. The "Ke Jing" says: On the day of Renyin, the hour戌 is placed upon Zi as the initiating transmission, and at night the heavenly general rides the azure dragon to attack the day stem, which is a misfortune within fortune; the middle transmission, the metal of Shen, rides the white tiger at night to generate the day stem, which is fortune within misfortune, thus a mixture of joy and sorrow. The "Shen Ding Jing" says: The metal酉 on the day stem is both a defeated and broken energy, indicating that someone in the family will have difficulties, and the situation will gradually weaken and deteriorate day by day.

課體：元首，元胎，不備，寡宿。課義：生被虎攻，往就徒空，舍益就損，終身困窮。解曰：申乃水之長生，夜占乘虎，不敢守也。遂投初傳巳財，而巳乃旬空，就之無益。再投中傳寅木，又是脫氣，復投末傳，仍是本家。別無所往，是舍益我之申金，而就損我之寅木。生我者去，而脫我者存，未有不終於貧困者也。

This lesson pattern is classified as Yuan Shou, Yuan Tai, Bu Bei, and Guasu. The interpretation says: the god of growth is attacked by the White Tiger; even if it flees to the other side, it is in vain. Abandoning the beneficial and accepting the harmful, one will remain in poverty all one's life. The explanation is: the metal of Shen is the growth of water. When the lesson is cast at night, it is governed by the White Tiger, making people afraid to guard it. Then it turns to the first transmission's Si fire wealth爻, but Si falls in the旬空, so it is of no benefit. Then it turns to the middle transmission's Yin wood, but Yin wood is also the god that drains energy. Then it turns to the final transmission, which returns to its original position. There is no other place to go, which is like abandoning the beneficial Shen metal and accepting the harmful Yin wood. The one that nourishes me has left, and the one that drains me remains. There is no way to avoid ending up in poverty.

斷曰：元胎之卦，干乘支馬，支乘干祿，所謂富貴課也。但支乘六合，干乘六害，有己勞人逸之象。

The interpretation says: A lesson of origin and development indicates a situation of waiting for the right time for conception and growth. The day stem is riding on theThe Post-horse of the day branch, and the day branch is riding on the禄神 of the day stem, which is referred to as a prosperous and noble lesson. However, the day branch is riding onLiu He while the day stem is riding on六害, indicating an image of one's own toil and others' ease.

天時：日坐長生，巳火空明，不能得雨。家宅：以干就支而生支，必有營建屋宇之事。仕宦：財貴雖空，遞生不畏，至吉之象。求財：晝占宜得貴人之財；夜占宜得婦女之財。婚姻：下和上害，患在不成。胎產：二陰包陽，男胎防病。疾病：肝腎兩經之病，雖不為害，亦難即瘥。行人：干支相會，寅申日來。出行：課體雖吉，出行不利。兵戰：元白生身，不幸中幸。墳葬：甲龍入首，乾巽向吉。

On weather: The day stem is in the position of growth, and the fire in the fourth hour falls into kongwang but still shines clearly, so there will be no rain. On the household: The day stem approaches the day branch and generates the day branch, indicating that there must be some house building or renovation in the family. On official career: Although the wealth element and the nobleman fall into kongwang, the three transmissions generate each other in sequence, so there is no need to be afraid, which is a very auspicious sign. On seeking wealth: If the lesson is cast in the daytime, it is favorable to gain wealth from the nobleman; if cast at night, it is favorable to gain wealth from women. On marriage: The lower part is harmonious but the upper part is harmful, the problem lies in the fact that the marriage cannot be completed. On pregnancy: Two yin elements surround one yang element, indicating a male fetus, and one should be cautious of the child having illness. On illness: The disease is related to the liver and kidney meridians, although it is not very harmful, it is difficult to recover quickly. On a traveler: The day stem and day branch meet, the person will arrive on a寅 day or申 day. On travel: Although the lesson pattern is auspicious, going out is not favorable. On warfare: The yuanwu and baihu elements come back to generate me, which is a fortunate thing in an unfortunate situation. On burial: If the dragon of jia enters the beginning, and the grave is oriented from qian to xun, it is favorable.

畢法云：權攝不正祿臨支，富貴干支逢祿馬，互生俱生凡事益，彼此猜忌害相隨。古鑑：癸未生人，九月辰將未時占前程，曰：支干皆得上神之生，貴人發用，功名可取。但嫌貴空，又見元武滯神，非科第中人。申為金類，巳為爐冶，當先任銅鐵，次任水運之官，蓋寅木上見六合為船隻，亥為江湖故也。

The *Bifa Fu* says: When the禄神 is on the day branch, it indicates taking over power on behalf of others but with an improper status; when both the day stem and day branch meet the禄神 andThe Post-horse, it signifies wealth and honor; if they mutually generate each other and both are supported, all matters will be beneficial; if they are suspicious of each other, the six harms will follow. The *Gujian* records: Those born in the year Guiwei, in September, with the month general being Chen and the hour of Wei for the divination of future prospects, the interpretation states: both the day stem and day branch are supported by the heavenly powers, the nobleman is the initiating transmission, and official rank can be attained; however, the nobleman falls into emptiness, and the Black Tortoise, a hindrance, appears, indicating that this person is not on the proper path of the imperial examination. The branch Shen belongs to metal, and Si is the furnace, so this person should first serve as an official managing copper and iron, then as one managing water transport; because the branch Yin has theLiu He, which symbolizes boats, and Hai is the river and lake.
