On the Xinhai day, third section: the stem is on the Shen.

課體：元首，間傳，顧祖。課義：未雖助初，賴此旬無，徒取怨憎，權稱虛拘。解曰：用乃日鬼，末傳助初剋日，定有教唆問訟之人。幸賴旬空不能作惡，諺所謂枉做惡人，徒取怨憎者也。然則午之所以為官，寅之所以為財，凡損我益我之事，皆不過權宜之稱許，而虛拘之禮文而已，何嘗有實意哉。

The lesson pattern is the main subject. The three transmissions are at the positions of Wu, Chen, and Yin, with each transmission passing to the next in sequence. The transmission from Wu to Yin is like a son turning back to look after his mother, which is called "looking back to the ancestor." The lesson meaning says: although the final transmission supports and helps the first transmission, it is fortunate that it falls in the旬空 (ten-day void). Such a person brings about hatred without cause, and all promises and titles are merely temporary and empty gestures. The explanation is: the initiating transmission, Wu fire, is the day stem's ghost that harms me. The final transmission, Yin wood, supports the first transmission to harm the day stem. This indicates that someone is inciting a lawsuit. Fortunately, the final transmission falls in the旬空, so it cannot do any harm, just as the saying goes: being wrongly considered an evil person and bringing about hatred without cause. Therefore, since Wu is called the official star and Yin is called the wealth line, any matter that harms me and benefits me is merely a temporary verbal agreement and a formality, with no real sincerity.

斷曰：元首發用。理本順從。間傳而退，事有艱阻。午官又得末助，仕宦占之，利見大人之兆。干支上神，交車六害，祿臨支而被支脫，當因起蓋房屋，以祿償逋。空寅助鬼，財非我有。宜攜財謁貴，納粟奏名。或求神禱病，以免災殃。

The interpretation states: Taking the principal stem as the basis, the matter is inherently smooth. However, the three transmissions are separated and move backward in reverse order, indicating difficulties and obstacles in the course of action. The wu fire official star is assisted by the final transmission, which is a favorable omen for officials seeking an audience with a nobleman. The day stem and the day branch are crossed and form mutual six harms; the禄神 (favorable god) falls on the day branch and is drained by it, which is due to building a house and usingofficial stipend (salary) to settle old debts. The empty寅 wood only serves to assist ghosts and spirits, and that wealth will not be mine. This divination suggests that one should bring wealth to visit a nobleman, make contributions to seek official rank, or pray to gods to remove illness and avert calamities.

天時：角星指陽，主晴。家宅：身宅防失脫，不寧。功名：大吉。求財：為貴人所不足，難得。婚姻：財空不吉，亦不成。胎產：胎亡神陰，孕主女，傳逆產難。疾病：肝經之病，須得西南方醫人治之。

On weather: The Horn mansion points to the yang position, indicating clear skies. On property: Both oneself and the residence should be cautious of theft and loss, leading to unrest. On fame and achievement: Very auspicious. On seeking wealth: Wealth is taken by the nobleman, and it is still insufficient, making it difficult to obtain. On marriage: The wealth element falls into an empty position, which is inauspicious, and the marriage will not succeed. On childbirth: The fetal spirit is located at the position of the lost spirit and the yin spirit, indicating a female fetus, and the three transmissions moving in reverse suggest difficulty in childbirth. On illness: Illness relates to the liver meridian, and a doctor from the southwest should be consulted for treatment.

爭訟：有人唆訟，然末傳空，支亥又制官，有救。出行：支見元虎，干上陰空，遠行不利。行人：顧祖格，當歸。捕獲：不尋自回。兵戰：晝占差吉，夜占不利。墳葬：主山高，白虎亦得氣，但發福不久耳。

On litigation: Someone has incited a dispute from the side, but the final transmission falls into an empty position. The day branch, which is亥 water, can control the official ghost, so there is still some help. On travel: The day branch shows the Black Tortoise and White Tiger, and the hidden spirit of the day stem also falls into an empty position, so distant travel is not favorable. On a person away: According to Gu Zu's pattern, those who have gone out should return. On capturing a thief: There is no need to search for him; he will return by himself. On military affairs: A daytime divination is somewhat favorable, but a nighttime divination is unfavorable. On burial: The mountain is high and steep, and the White Tiger direction also has vitality, but the time when benefits will manifest is not long.

畢法云：權攝不正祿臨支。課經云：午為寅之子孫，寅為午之長生，自午傳寅，乃子回顧母，名曰顧祖格。指掌賦云：午辰寅為顧祖，而喜氣和平。纂義云：成合之期，戌月日應。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When the official star falls on the day branch, it indicates that the person holds a position of temporary authority with an improper status. The "Ke Jing" says: The fire of Wu is the son of the wood of Yin, and the wood of Yin is the place of growth for the fire of Wu. When the transmission goes from Wu to Yin, it is like a son looking back to his mother, so it is called "Gu Zu Ge." The "Zhipang Fu" says: When the three transmissions are Wu, Chen, and Yin, it is called Gu Zu, indicating joy, auspiciousness, and smoothness. The "Zuanyi" says: The date when a matter is completed should be in the month of Xu or on the day of Xu.

課體：元首，元胎，驀越，勵德。課義：初馬丁雜，投虎空脫，君子猶迍，常流怎活。解曰：丁火臨干，鬼馬發用，金日逢之，必主凶動。因取中傳之財，引入亥虎空脫之鄉。雖君子尚有迍邅，而況常流值此，有能免於死亡刑獄乎。

The lesson pattern is the beginning; the three transmissions, which are the fourth, the first, and the third, all occupy the position of the first of the four divisions, called "original embryo," like the initial formation of a fetus, with the matter still in its budding and fluctuating state. The initiating transmission is taken from the fourth lesson, called "sudden leap." It also carries the meaning of "encouraging virtue," which signifies alertness and moral cultivation. The lesson meaning says: the first transmission is the post-horse, accompanied by the spirit of Ding, moving directly into the territory of White Tiger and Kongwang, where vital energy is drained. Even a gentleman finds it difficult to proceed, how can an ordinary person survive? The explanation says: the fire of Ding is above the day stem, and the day ghost combined with the post-horse is used as the initiating transmission. When the day of庚 or 辛 metal meets it, it inevitably leads to the occurrence of misfortune. This is because one goes to take the wealth hexagram in the middle transmission, but is dragged into the dangerous territory of亥 water, which is accompanied by White Tiger, and is both empty and drained. Even a gentleman meets such a situation and finds it difficult to proceed smoothly, how can an ordinary person avoid death and legal troubles?

斷曰：元胎之課，日鬼乘馬，自第四課發用，名曰驀越，占主驀然而來。或有驚疑，或有竊盜。幸巳為日之長生，又為德神，所謂一德當頭，萬事無憂。況干支各乘上生，凶中有解。但課名勵德，君子當隨時省察，勿愧厥心，斯為元吉。

The interpretation states: This is a lesson of origin, where the day ghost rides the post-horse, and initiates from the fourth lesson, which is called "sudden leap." Matters under this chart indicate sudden changes or unexpected events. It may be a sudden shock or a theft. Fortunately, the position of Si is the long life place of Xin metal, and also the moral place of the day. This is called having a virtue at the forefront, thus all things are free from worry. Moreover, both the day stem and the day branch are supported by the lower spirits, so even though there are凶 elements, there is a way to resolve them. However, the name of the chart is "cultivating virtue," so the gentleman should always examine himself and refrain from wrongdoing, which is the greatest good fortune.

天時：天罡指陰，主陰。家宅：未乘天后加戌，主婦人有疾。功名：大利。求財：財爻不實，遲或猶可。婚姻：財空不宜。胎產：陰包陽主男，干脫支，產不易。疾病：心脾腎三經有病，主魂夢不安，宜謝土。爭訟：初勢洶湧，後卻有解。出行：宜慎。行人：即歸。捕獲：難獲。兵戰：宜慎。

On the weather: The Tiangang (Chen) points to the yin position, indicating cloudy weather. On the residence: The earth (土) of Wei is combined with the Heavenly Empress (天后) and placed on Xu, indicating that there may be illness among women in the household. On official rank: It is highly favorable. On seeking wealth: The wealth element is empty and not solid, so it is advisable to delay for a while. On marriage: The wealth element falls into an empty position, so it is not suitable to discuss marriage. On childbirth: Yin covers Yang, indicating a male fetus; the day stem drains the energy of the day branch, making childbirth difficult. On illness: There are diseases in the heart, spleen, and kidney meridians, leading to restlessness during the night; it is advisable to perform the Earth Thanksgiving ceremony (谢土). On litigation: The situation starts off intense but later turns for the better. On travel: One should be cautious. On a traveler: The person who has gone out will return soon. On capturing thieves: It is difficult to capture them. On military affairs: One should be cautious.

畢法云：金日逢丁凶禍動，虎乘遁鬼殃非淺。指南：乙丑十月卯將午時占，曰：先鋒屬病神，上乘卯財，當占陰人之病。傳得元胎，又四課德鬼發用，食神乘空，主胸膈不能飲食。祿臨死地，今幸子爻制鬼無妨，明夏太歲生鬼可慮。且夫占妻不宜財空，又辛日亦不宜占病，以辛作亡神故也。

The *Bi Fa Fu* says: When a day of Geng or Xin metal meets the spirit of Ding, misfortune will arise. The White Tiger riding upon the ghostly spirits obtained through the ten-day cycle will bring deep calamity. The *Liu Ren Zhi Nan* records: In the year Yichou, during the tenth month, using the卯 (Mao) general and starting the divination at the午 (Wu) hour, the judgment was given: The position of the vanguard belongs to the disease spirit, and above it is the wood wealth hexagram, indicating that the person is asking about a woman's illness. The three transmissions form a pattern of origin and birth, and the initiating transmission is derived from the four lessons, taking both the daily virtue and the daily ghost. The food spirit falls into emptiness, indicating obstruction in the chest and inability to eat. The禄 (favorable) spirit is in the dead position, but now there is the water hexagram子 (Zi) controlling the ghostly spirits, so there is no immediate danger. However, in the summer of next year, when the sovereign (year) supports the ghostly spirits, there will be cause for concern. Moreover, divining about the wife is most unfavorable when the wealth hexagram falls into emptiness. On a day of Xin, it is also unsuitable to divinate illness, because Xin is the dwelling place of the lost spirit.

課體：涉害，曲直，度厄。課義：宅並身災，鬼掠錢財，攜金告貴，此其宜哉。解曰：辛被午克，亥被未克，夜又白虎臨之，身宅所以俱災也。三傳純木，乃日之財，卻生干上午火作官，是我之財，為鬼所掠矣。然午為日貴，而攜金謁之，關節可通，此其宜也。若愛財則化鬼矣，其能免於禍乎。

The lesson pattern is "Involvement in Harm" (there are two or more instances of mutual control among the four lessons; the one where the victim is most severely affected is used as the initiating transmission, indicating that affairs are entangled and difficult to resolve). The three transmissions form a wood trinity with Hai, Mao, and Wei, called "Curved and Straight," and also meet the condition of "Overcoming Difficulty." The lesson meaning states: both the residence and oneself are suffering from calamity, and ghosts and spirits are taking away wealth; one should take gold and silk to appeal to the nobleman. The explanation is: the metal of Xin is controlled by the fire of Wu, the water of the day branch Hai is controlled by the earth of Wei, and since it is a night divination, the White Tiger is pressing down, so both oneself and the residence are suffering from calamity. The three transmissions are all wood, which is originally the wealth element of the day stem, but instead it nourishes the fire official ghost on the day stem's Wu, meaning one's wealth is being taken away by the ghosts and spirits. However, Wu is also the heavenly nobleman for the day stem of Xin, so taking wealth to pay homage to him will make the connection smooth, which is appropriate. If one is overly greedy for wealth, wealth will turn into ghosts, and how can one escape misfortune?

斷曰：涉害之課，事主兩端。三上克下，卑幼不利。面前六合，傳會三合，財神外觀可喜。但干支全傷，卻恐兩損。丁神自宅上發用，辛日逢之，禍機已動。幸中末空陷，凶中有解。未雖虎乘遁鬼，究為干之生氣。且天乙臨身，投以苞苴，事亦可諧。

The interpretation says: This is a lesson involving harm, where matters often involve both sides. Among the four lessons, there are three instances where the superior god overpowers the inferior god, which is unfavorable for the younger or subordinate. The day stem is immediately preceded by the "Liu He" (one of the twelve heavenly generals, governing trade, marriage, and harmony). The three transmissions form a triple harmony of wood, making the wealth god appear favorable on the surface. However, both the day stem and day branch are injured, so it is feared that both sides may suffer losses. The Ding god starts from the position of the residence, and on the Xin day, it meets it, thus initiating the mechanism of misfortune. Fortunately, the middle and final transmissions fall into empty or hidden positions, offering some relief from the misfortune. Although the soil is riding the white tiger and is hidden in the ghostly god of the ten-day cycle, it still supports the day stem through the influence of the official star. Moreover, the nobleman is present at the self, offering a gift to smooth things over, so the matter can still be settled.

天時：午火臨干，丁神發用，全傳生之，主晴。家宅：丁神入宅，動搖不寧，如正月夜占，鬼作死氣乘常，丁又乘虎克支，必有內外孝服。功名：官貴臨身，雖逢丁神，三傳全財，生官大利。求財：恐是虛花。婚姻：后合在傳，不宜。胎產：干上神陽，主男，三合課，產難。

On weather: The fire of the hour of Wu is present on the day stem, and the spirit of Ding initiates the transmission. All three transmissions fully support it, indicating clear weather. On residence: The spirit of Ding enters the residence position, causing unrest. If this is divined at night in the first lunar month, the ghosts and spirits are at the death qi and riding on Tai Chang. The spirit of Ding again rides on the White Tiger to injure the day branch, indicating there will certainly be mourning within and outside the family. On official rank: The official star and nobleman are present on the person, although encountering the spirit of Ding, the three transmissions are full of wealth lines that nourish the official, which is very favorable. On seeking wealth: It is likely to be a mere illusion. On marriage: The Heavenly Empress and Liu He are both in the three transmissions, making it unsuitable to marry. On childbirth: The superior spirit on the day stem is yang, indicating a male fetus; the triple harmony lesson indicates a difficult delivery.

疾病：病屬心脾二家，甚險，宜求神。爭訟：全財化鬼，丁神發用，大凶，然幸有解。出行：不利。行人：遲歸。捕獲：晝占在正西，夜占在東南。兵戰：有驚憂。墳葬：發財之地。

On illness: The illness belongs to the heart and spleen, the situation is very dangerous, and one should pray to deities for protection. On lawsuits: All the wealth signs are transformed into ghosts and spirits, and the Ding deity is taken as the initiating transmission, which is extremely凶, but fortunately there is an opportunity for resolution. On travel: It is unfavorable. On travelers: Those who have gone out will return late. On capturing thieves: During the day, the thief is in the due west; at night, the thief is in the southeast. On military affairs: There will be matters of alarm and worry. On burial: It is a good place that can bring wealth.

畢法云：貴雖坐獄宜臨干，鬼乘天乙乃神祇，干支全傷防兩損，虎乘遁鬼殃非淺，不行傳者考初時。摘要云：六辛日午加干，雖是日鬼，卻是貴人，不可作鬼祟看。當是香火正神，神佛嶽府。夜占當有新化靈席作祟。

The "Bifa Fu" says: Although a nobleman is sitting in a prison position, if he is placed upon the day stem, it is still a good omen; if a ghost or spirit rides upon the heavenly stem nobleman, it is a righteous deity rather than a malevolent spirit; if both the day stem and day branch are injured, one should beware of losses on both sides; if the white tiger rides upon the ghostly deity of the ten-day cycle, the calamity will be severe; if the three transmissions cannot produce a result, one should look back at the time of the first transmission's initiation. The "Zhaoyao" says: On any of the six days with the character Xin, if the fire of the hour of Wu is placed upon the day stem, although it is a day ghost, it is also the heavenly stem nobleman, and should not be regarded as a malevolent spirit. It should be considered a righteous deity, belonging to the category of gods, buddhas, and mountain deities. In night divination, one should be cautious of the spirits of recently deceased persons causing disturbances.

課體：重審，四絕。課義：采葛尋腦，幽隱難考，夜元克身，丙午又造。解曰：干上巳鬼，夜將乘元，支上午火，旬遁得丙，俱來傷日，為害甚矣。然細考之，巳害猶淺，而午尤甚。蓋午官發用，迤邐生至末傳，午克丑墓，使申金全然無氣。譬之采葛者，而尋其腦，午為厲階矣，豈不幽隱而難考哉。

The lesson pattern is "re-examination," and it coincides with the "Four Dead Ends" where the Five Phases all enter their dead ends. The lesson meaning says: like someone gathering reed grass who goes to seek its root, it is hidden and difficult to investigate; night divination shows the Black Tortoise attacking the body, and the day branch's Bingwu adds another layer of misfortune. The explanation is: the fire in the day stem's si is the ghost that harms me, and in night divination it is ruled by the Black Tortoise; the fire in the day branch's wu, according to the ten-day cycle, is found to be bing, and both of these harm the day stem, causing serious damage. But upon careful examination, the harm from si fire is still shallow, while wu fire is the most severe. This is because the official ghost of wu fire is taken as the initiating transmission, and it proceeds in sequence to the final transmission, with wu fire overcoming the earth in chou, causing the final transmission's shen metal to lose all life energy. This is like someone gathering reed grass who goes to seek its root, and wu fire is the step that brings disorder, is it not deep and hidden, difficult to investigate?

斷曰：四絕之課，五行入墓，止宜結絕舊事，不利新謀。干上雖乘巳鬼，卻為日德。貴又坐宅，占官最吉。末傳兄弟，丑墓午克，且作魯都劫煞。干上元武又乘驛馬，主自己或兄弟，必因盜賊而起官司。

The interpretation states: This is a lesson of four extremes, where all five elements are directed into the storage. It is only suitable for concluding old matters, and not favorable for new plans. Although the day stem is occupied by the巳 fire ghost, the巳 is actually the virtue of the辛 day. The nobleman is seated at the house position, making it very auspicious for inquiries about official positions. The final transmission's申 metal is the brother element, which is buried by the丑 storage and restrained by the午 fire, and also serves as the Jiesha. The black tortoise on the day stem is riding the post-horse, indicating that either oneself or a brother will certainly get involved in legal trouble due to theft.

天時：火爻發用，主大晴。家宅：午貴加宅，宅中有願未完。功名：四絕卦，祿又陷空，不吉。求財：只宜索逋。婚姻：四絕卦，不宜成姻。胎產：胎神臨宅，受克作旬空，占孕占產俱畏。疾病：病在心腎二經，凶不可言。

On weather: The fire line is used as the initiating transmission, indicating clear skies. On residence: The nobleman of the午 fire is placed on the house position, indicating there are unfulfilled wishes in the family. On official rank: The four绝卦, with the official star falling into kongwang, is unfavorable. On seeking wealth: It is only suitable to recover old debts. On marriage: The four绝卦, marriage is not advisable. On childbirth: TheFetal Spirit is located on the house position, being both restrained and falling into the旬空, making it ominous for both pregnancy and childbirth. On illness: The illness affects both the heart and kidney meridians, which is dangerous and frightening to describe.

爭訟：官鬼臨身發用，勢極凶險，幸為日德，有解。出行：所如猝難稱意，驛馬乘元，又逢魯都官鬼，須防訟盜。行人：遲歸。捕獲：晝占即西方捕役作賊，夜占在北方。兵戰：主客俱不利。

On litigation: The official ghost is present and serves as the initiating transmission, indicating extremely dangerous circumstances. Fortunately, it is also the day's virtue, which offers some resolution. On travel: The destination is not satisfactory at first, with the post-horse riding the black tortoise, and encountering the Lu Du jiesha and official ghost, one should be cautious of lawsuits and thieves on the way. On the person in question: The return will be delayed. On capturing thieves: If the divination is done in the day, the western constable is the thief himself; if done at night, the thief is in the north. On military matters: Neither the main nor the opposing side is favorable.

畢法云：鬼乘天乙乃神祇。纂義云：事多阨塞，動遭阻隔，了結舊案，是名四絕。指掌賦云：貴常同入官鄉，當朝宰執。邵公詩云：鬼在鬼方無所畏，此鬼原來無避忌。

The Bi Fa Fu says: If ghosts and spirits ride upon the Tian Yi Guiren, they are considered as righteous deities rather than malevolent spirits. The Zuan Yi says: When affairs are often obstructed, and any movement meets resistance, only old cases can be settled, which is called "Si Jue." The Zhi Zhang Fu says: When Tian Yi Guiren and Tai Chang enter the territory of official stars, it indicates the person will hold a high position as a prime minister. Shao Gong's poem says: Ghosts stay in their own ghost region, which is not frightening; such ghosts do not need to be avoided or feared.

課體：反吟，元胎，斬關。課義：兩貴受克，生值絕域，濁氣所生，失十得一。解曰：午為晝貴而臨子，寅為夜貴而臨申，俱受下克，干貴無力矣。巳乃辛金長生，投絕受克而作初末，諸占不吉。惟賴干上天罡濁氣來生，無如辰土所生，實為亥水所脫，故云得一失十也。斷曰：無依之卦，反覆無常。干支上神，交互相剋，事無實據。宅上之巳，本為日德，又為長生。發用作馬，遁得乙財，若出外求謀，亦薄有財喜。

The lesson pattern is "Reverse Chant" (the Heaven Plate and Earth Plate each conflict with each other, leading to repeated and uncertain outcomes), and it also includes the elements of "Original Embryo" and "Cutting the Gate." The interpretation says: both the day's nobleman in the day and night are subject to control, the god of growth is located in the place of death, relying on a single turbid element to nourish me, ultimately losing ten parts and gaining only one. The explanation is: the day's nobleman in the day is the position of the Yin, but it is located at Zi, while the night's nobleman is the position of the Shen, but it is located at Shen, both being controlled by the gods of the Earth Plate below, so the nobleman of the day stem loses its strength. The position of Si is the place of growth for the metal of Xin, but now it is in the place of death and is also controlled, and it serves as both the first and final transmission, making all inquiries unfavorable. Fortunately, there is a turbid element of Tiangang, the earth of Chen, on the day stem to nourish me, but the strength of Chen earth is actually drained by the water of the day branch Hai. Therefore, one part is gained but ten parts are lost. The conclusion says: this is a卦 without support, with constant reversals. The gods on the day stem and day branch mutually control each other, and the matter has no solid basis. The position of Si fire, which is the day's virtue for Xin day, is also the place of growth; it is taken as the initiating transmission and also serves as the post-horse. In the ten-day cycle, it gains the wood of Yi, which represents wealth. If going out to make a living, there is a slight fortune and joy.

天時：久雨主晴，久晴當變，方晴復雨之象。家宅：宅上鬼馬發用，主有動移之事；晝占天后臨絕，妻女災危；夜占元武，防婢走失。功名：馬乘德鬼作長生，大利。求財：龍坐長生，大利。婚姻：不宜。

On weather: After prolonged rain turning clear, prolonged clear weather must change, showing the image of clearing up and then raining again. On residences: The spirits at the residence and the Post-horse are taken as initiating transmission, indicating the possibility of moving house; if daytime divination shows the Heavenly Empress in the place of death, there will be danger to wife and daughters; if nighttime divination shows the Black Tortoise, one should beware of servants running away. On official rank: The Post-horse riding the sun and virtue, along with the day ghost and occupying the position of growth, is highly advantageous. On seeking wealth: The Azure Dragon sitting in the position of growth is highly advantageous. On marriage: Not advisable.

胎產：絕胎卦，胎神又空，占孕防損，占產速。疾病：心腎二經之病，以女色不正而得，雖淹滯，有解。爭訟：反覆淹滯。出行：馬發用作長生，可獲財喜。行人：不來。捕獲：元武戀生，不獲。兵戰：不利。

On childbirth: This is a卦 indicating a barren situation, and theFetal Spirit also falls in Kongwang, so when predicting pregnancy, one should be cautious of losing the fetus; when predicting childbirth, it will come quickly. On disease: Illnesses of the heart and kidney meridians are caused by improper sexual relations, although they may persist for a long time, they will eventually be resolved. On lawsuits: The matter will be delayed and unresolved. On travel: The post-horse is used and also indicates growth, which can bring wealth and joy. On the whereabouts of a person: The person will not come. On capturing a thief: The Black Tortoise is attached to the place of growth and will not move, so the thief cannot be caught. On military affairs: It is unfavorable.

畢法云：兩貴受克難干貴。課經云：巳午加亥子剋日，主癆病或心患病癰。克應經云：老幼占病得元胎，為後世投胎之兆，最凶。纂義云：支馬乘元，若水局月占之，主有走失逃亡。巳時占，主宅舍動移之事。夜占天后臨巳加絕，主陰人有災。

The Bi Fa Fu says: If both the day and night noblemen are restrained, it is difficult to rely on the nobleman for help. The Ke Jing says: If the hours of巳and午are placed over the hours of亥and子, they will restrain the day stem, indicating a sufferer from tuberculosis or an abscess in the chest. The Ke Ying Jing says: If a person who is old or young seeks a medical divination and receives the Yuan Tai lesson, it is a sign of reincarnation, which is extremely dangerous. The Zuan Yi says: If the post-horse on the day branch is ridden by the Black Tortoise, and the divination is made in the month of Shen-Zi-Chen water trinity, it indicates that people will be missing or fleeing. If the divination is made at the hour of巳, it indicates that the residence will have a move or change. If at night the Heavenly Empress is on巳and placed in a dead position, it indicates that female family members in the household will suffer misfortune.

課體：重審，勵德，孤辰。課義：來情占失，夜貴無力，斫朽木輪，所謀陰慝。解曰：卯乃日財，臨於干上。晝占乘元發用，是財物逼迫，來意定占遺失也。夜貴仰丘俯仇，貴人無力，干之何益。卯加金為用，名曰斫輪。然卯值旬空，朽木難雕，宜改科易業。末墓蛇虎，干支上神，俱乘元武陰后，所謀陰慝，夫復何疑。

The lesson pattern is called "Re-examination" and also carries the characteristic of "Lide"; the initiating transmission falls into the empty position and is called "Guchen." The lesson interpretation says: the person asking the question is inquiring about a lost item. The nobleman is ineffective at night, just like trying to make a cart wheel from rotten wood. The things they are planning are all obscure and unclear. The explanation is: the卯wood is the wealth hexagram for the辛day, and it is directly above the day stem. In the daytime divination, it takes the initiating transmission while riding the Black Tortoise, indicating that the wealth is being pressured. The person's original intention is certainly to inquire about a lost item. At night, the nobleman looks up as a hill and down as an enemy, so the nobleman is ineffective. Seeking help from him would be of no use. The卯wood is added to the metal position and takes the initiating transmission, forming the pattern called "Chuolun." However, the卯wood is in the empty position of the ten-day cycle, and the rotten wood is difficult to shape, so one should change the subject and pursue a different profession. The final transmission is the storage position and rides the Teng Snake and White Tiger. The heavenly stems and branches of the day all ride the Black Tortoise, "Tai Yin" (one of the twelve heavenly generals, governing obscure and hidden matters), and the Heavenly Empress. The matters they are planning are dark, sinister, and improper. What else is there to doubt?

斷曰：重審之卦，事須三思。用空名曰孤辰，當防離別。大約有虛名而無實濟，惟僧道則相宜也。中申陷空，惟留末傳丑墓，遁癸閉口，凡有謀為，須待春風消息。若逢卯年卯月占之便佳。

The divination states: The卦 of re-examination indicates that one should think carefully before taking action. The initiating transmission falls into "Guchen," which signifies caution against separation and loss. Generally, there is only empty reputation without real benefit, but this is suitable for monks and Taoist priests. The middle transmission, which is metal, also falls into Kongwang, leaving only the final transmission, which is the earth branch Chou, representing storage. The ten-day cycle shows the arrival of癸, forming a closed mouth image. Any endeavor will have to wait for news brought by the spring wind. If the divination occurs in the year or month of卯, it would be favorable.

天時：天罡指陰，主陰。家宅：辰卯相害，人宅恐有不寧。功名：初中皆空，惟留末墓，俟卯填實，生起官星。末沖丑墓，乃佳。求財：得亦還失。婚姻：財恐不成。胎產：二陰包陽，男子之樣，胎神臨空受克，占孕必損，占產即生。疾病：初中空陷，末墓乘虎，大忌。爭訟：原被皆忌。出行：春占吉。行人：朱乘中傳之申，音書已在途中。捕獲：難獲。兵戰：不可輕動。

On the weather: The Tiangang points to the Yin position, indicating cloudy weather. On the residence: The辰 and卯 are mutually harmful, suggesting that both people and the house may be unstable. On official rank: The first and second transmissions fall into the empty position, leaving only the third transmission in the storage position. One must wait until the卯 year and卯 month to fill the empty position, thus activating the official star. The third transmission must first open the丑 storage position to be favorable. On seeking wealth: What is gained will eventually be lost. On marriage: The wealth element is empty and陷, so the marriage may not succeed. On childbirth: Two Yins enclosing one Yang suggests a boy; however, theFetal Spirit falls into the empty position and is also harmed, so if predicting pregnancy, there will be loss of the fetus; if predicting childbirth, it will result in immediate birth. On illness: The first and second transmissions are empty and陷, while the third transmission is in the storage position but is occupied by the White Tiger, which is highly unfavorable. On lawsuits: Both plaintiff and defendant are at a disadvantage. On travel: It is favorable in spring. On a traveler: The Vermilion Bird, one of the Twelve Heavenly Generals, is riding on the申 metal in the second transmission, indicating that messages are already on the way. On capturing thieves: It is difficult to capture them. On military affairs: There should be no rash actions.

畢法云：朽木難雕別作為，不行傳者考初時。括囊賦云：申乘朱雀，音書必起於程途。金蘭略云：孤神上克，必主孤單。照膽秘訣云：后合元陰與酉卯，加臨課位遭強盜。

The "Bifa Fu" says: Decaying wood is hard to carve, so one must seek another profession; if the three transmissions cannot yield results, one should look back at the time of the first transmission's initiating transmission. The "Kuanang Fu" says: If the metal of the hour of Shen is riding the Vermilion Bird, the message must have already been sent on the way. The "Jinlan Lue" says: If the solitary spirit is above and conquers below, it indicates loneliness and lack of support. The "Zhaochan Mijue" says: If the Heavenly Empress, Liu He, Black Tortoise, and Tai Yin among the Heavenly Generals, along with the gods of You and Mao, are placed on the four lessons, it indicates encountering bandits.

課體：知一，曲直。課義：夜虎丁火，勿恃傳課，交合何益，無財有禍。解曰：用未遁丁，夜乘白虎，金日逢之，凶禍動矣。況三傳俱財，全財則化鬼。干上寅，支上卯，雖交車相合，而四課皆空，恃之何益。若貪其財，不惟財不可得，而禍即隨之矣。

The lesson pattern is "Zhi Yi" (also called "Bi Yong"), meaning that among the four lessons there are two instances of mutual control, and the one with the same yin-yang relationship as the day stem is chosen for the initiating transmission. The matter is of the same kind but hesitates between two sides. The three transmissions,亥, 卯, and 未, form a wood trinity called "Qu Zhi." The lesson interpretation says: night divination with the White Tiger and accompanied by Ding fire, do not rely on the good appearance of the four lessons and three transmissions; even if they are mutually compatible, what benefit is there? Wealth is lost and misfortune is brought about. The explanation is: the initiating transmission is 未 earth, which in the ten heavenly stems is associated with Ding fire. Night divination with the White Tiger on top, metal day stem meets it, and misfortune will be triggered. Moreover, the three transmissions are all wealth divinatory signs, and a full plate of wealth turns into ghosts. The day stem is寅, and the day branch is卯, although they are mutually compatible, all four lessons are empty, so relying on them is useless. If one is greedy for that wealth, not only will the wealth not be obtained, but misfortune will come immediately.

斷曰：曲直之課，整體冗雜，又名知一，首鼠兩端。三傳三合，且干支上神交關相合，日辰陰陽，又自為合，歡忻和合之象。惜為空亡，惟留中傳一亥，凡百謀望，凶則可解吉則難成。倘值春占。或遇卯年可喜。

The divination states: This chart exhibits a complex and tangled structure, also known as 'knowing one' (知一), indicating indecisiveness in matters. The three transmissions form a triple harmony of wood, creating a favorable configuration. The day stem and day branch are also cross-harmonious with the upper god, and the yin and yang spirits of the day stem and day branch are harmonious with each other, forming a pleasant and harmonious image. Unfortunately, all these elements fall into kongwang, leaving only the middle transmission, which is亥 water. Any endeavors or aspirations will be able to resolve凶 events, but good fortune will be difficult to achieve. If this divination is cast in spring or during a year of卯, it would be favorable.

天時：龍雖昇天而角星指陽，主晴。家宅：人宅亨嘉，但丁神自第四發用，主長上文書之事，驀有虛驚。功名：不利。求財：財神空亡，求之反費己財。婚姻：淫泆卦，不宜。胎產：干上神屬陽，主男；胎坐長生，孕吉產遲。疾病：傳課皆空，即愈，久病可危。爭訟：財空官陷主即解散。出行：宜慎。行人：即歸。捕獲：武戀長生坐宅，易獲。兵戰：防有失。墳葬：龍虎皆陷，元神空亡，葬之不古。

On the weather: Although the Azure Dragon ascends to heaven, the Horn mansion points to the yang position, indicating clear weather. On the residence: Both people and the house are prosperous and harmonious, but the Ding spirit originates from the fourth lesson, indicating matters related to elders or official documents, which may bring sudden alarm. On fame and achievement: Unfavorable. On seeking wealth: The wealth god is in the Kongwang position, so seeking wealth will result in losing one's own money. On marriage: This is a卦 of licentiousness, not suitable for discussing marriage. On childbirth: The day stem's spirit is yang, indicating a male fetus; the fetal spirit is in the position of growth, indicating a favorable pregnancy but a slow delivery. On illness: All three transmissions and four lessons fall into the Kongwang position, so new illnesses will recover quickly, but chronic illnesses are dangerous. On lawsuits: The wealth element falls into the Kongwang position and the official star is hidden, indicating that the lawsuit will be resolved immediately. On travel: One should be cautious. On travelers: Those who have gone out will return soon. On capturing thieves: The Black Tortoise is attached to the position of growth and is seated on the residence position, making it easy to capture thieves. On military affairs: One should be cautious of possible losses. On burial: Both the Azure Dragon and White Tiger fall into the Kongwang position, and the origin god also falls into the Kongwang position, making burial here unfavorable.

畢法云：金日逢丁凶禍動，傳財化鬼財休覓，交車相合交關利。指南：甲申十二月子加酉占功名。曰：干乘絕氣，支見死神，貴既空亡，祿亦受制，官星陷矣。誰與居位，營壘空矣；誰與禦侮，財星空矣；誰與生官，太陽西墜。冬木逢空，歲在大梁，不能保矣。蓋明歲行年酉為自刑，當破壞木局，果驗。

The "Bi Fa Fu" states: When metal day stem meets Ding deity, misfortune will arise; if the three transmissions are full of wealth hexagrams that turn into ghosts, wealth does not need to be sought; when the day stem and day branch cross and form a harmonious combination, trade and exchange will be beneficial. The "Liu Ren Zhuan Nan" records: In the year Jiashen, during the twelfth lunar month, a class was cast with the starting hexagram of Zi added to You to predict official rank. The divination concluded: The day stem is under the influence of a dead qi, the day branch has the death deity, the nobleman is already in kongwang, and the official star is restrained, so the official star has fallen into decline—then who will hold the position? The camp is already empty, so who will resist external threats? The wealth star is also empty, so who will nourish the official star? The sun has already set. In winter, wood meets kongwang, and the sovereign star is at the big beam You position, so it cannot be maintained. Because the next year's year stem is You, You also self-punishes, and it is about to break the wood pattern. Later, it indeed came true.

課體：蒿矢，元胎，勵德。課義：馬上張弓，矢箭申空，幸脫孤矢，虎墓須逢。解曰：巳為弓，乘馬而遙傷日干，故曰馬上張弓。申為箭，蒿矢得金，是為委鏃。幸巳落空鄉，又被末傳亥水相制，全然無氣。中傳之申，夜乘天空，亦無足慮，則亦幸脫於弧矢者也。惟干上墓虎加臨，凶惡殊甚，倘年命得逢寅卯，猶可為救。斷曰：蒿矢之課，禍福俱輕。至第四課發用，尤為無力。華蓋覆日，事主昏迷。晝乘白虎，須防仇人陷害。

The lesson pattern is "Hao Shi" (meaning "Arrow of Artemisia"), which indicates that none of the four lessons are in a position of overcoming the day stem, so the remote overcoming of the day stem is used as the initiating transmission. This is like an arrow made of Artemisia reed, which has weak power. The lesson also includes the elements of Yuan Tai and Li De. The lesson interpretation says: it is like riding a horse and drawing a bow, but the position of the arrow, which is in the position of Shen, is empty. Although one hasby chance avoided the arrow, theStorage (storage) of the day stem is inevitably encountered by the White Tiger. The explanation says: the fire in the fourth position is the bow, which is riding on the post-horse and causing distant harm to the day stem, so it is said to be drawing a bow on a horse. The metal in the position of Shen is the arrow, and since the Hao Shi lesson has the metal element, it becomes an arrow with a tip. Fortunately, the fire in the fourth position is in the empty position, and it is further restrained by the water in the final transmission, so it has completely lost its power. The metal in the middle transmission, which is in the position of Shen, is riding on the Sky Void, so there is no need to worry, which means one hasby chance avoided the injury from the bow and arrow. However, the day stem has theStorage (storage) with the White Tiger pressing down, which is veryvicious. If the person's birth year or current year is in the position of Yin or Mao, it can be a rescue. The conclusion says: the Hao Shi lesson indicates that both good and bad fortune are light. Since it is initiated from the fourth lesson, its power is especially weak. The Huagai god covers the day stem, indicating confusion and confusion in affairs. If it is daytime and the White Tiger is riding on top, one should be cautious of harm from enemies.

天時：早晴，午後風且雨。家宅：人口不寧，年命上得寅卯，或寅卯年占吉。功名：已得者不利，未得者不遇。求財：不能。婚姻：不宜，亦不成。胎產：胎空坐死地，難保。疾病：丑墓乘虎臨干，馬臨絕地，難愈，本命木有解。爭訟：可解。出行：水路差可，然驛馬乘后合克干，身須保重，若近女色，尤危。行人：不來。捕獲：難獲。兵戰：防失眾。

On weather: It is clear in the morning, but after noon there is wind and rain. On housing: The household is not peaceful. If the person's destiny or the year's stem is寅 or卯, or if the divination is done in the year of寅 or卯, it is favorable. On official rank: It is unfavorable for those who already hold an official position, and those who have not yet obtained an official position will miss opportunities. On seeking wealth: It is difficult to obtain wealth. On marriage: It is not suitable to discuss marriage, and it will not succeed. On childbirth: The fetal god is in an empty position and sits on the death position, making it difficult to keep the fetus. On illness: The earth element丑 is in its storage position, with the White Tiger affecting the day stem, and the post-horse is in the绝 position, making the illness hard to recover from; those whose destiny is wood still have a chance of recovery. On lawsuits: It can be resolved. On travel: Traveling by water is acceptable, but the post-horse is affected by the Heavenly Empress and Liu He, which are in conflict with the day stem, so one must take care of their health. If they are near women, it is especially dangerous. On the whereabouts of a person: The person will not come. On capturing thieves: It is difficult to capture them. On military affairs: One must be cautious of losing soldiers and generals.

畢法云：干乘墓虎無占病。吳越春秋：七月辛亥寅時吳伐齊，辛上丑，亥上寅，巳神剋日為用。辛，歲位也。亥，陰前之辰也。合，壬子歲前合也，行師決勝。但德在合，斗繫丑。丑，辛之本也。大吉為白虎而臨辛，功曹為太常而臨亥。大吉加辛為九丑，又並白虎，前雖勝，後必大敗。

The "Bi Fa Fu" states: If the day stem is riding on the storage palace and also accompanied by the White Tiger, one should not inquire about illness. The "Wuyue Chunqiu" records: On the seventh month Xinhai day at the寅 hour, the State of Wu sent troops to attack Qi. At that time, theLodging Palace of辛 was丑, and亥 was on寅. The巳 deity conquered the day stem and was taken as the initiating transmission.辛 was at the position of the sovereign star;亥 was the previous hour of theYin Spirit; the so-called combination refers to the combination before the Renzi year, and going to war can lead to victory. However, the day's virtue fell on the combination, and the handle of the dipper was at the丑 position;丑 was exactly the original position of辛. The大吉丑, riding on the White Tiger, was placed on辛, while寅, riding on the Tai Chang, was placed on亥. The大吉丑 added to辛 formed the "Jiu Chou"Inauspicious Pattern, and combined with the White Tiger, so although the Wu army initially achieved victory, they would certainly suffer a great defeat later.

課體：涉害，間傳，泆女，出戶，閉口。課義：財德既空，墓虎獨存，病絕藥食，恐喪其魂。解曰：中傳卯財，末傳巳德，俱屬空亡。獨存初傳墓虎，又為閉口。占病定然藥食不進，恐喪其魂者，言必死也。

The lesson pattern is "Involving Harm"; the three transmissions are Chou, Mao, and Si, which are connected by intervals, forming an intermediate transmission. It also encounters the "Excessive Woman," associated with private affairs and lust, as well as "Going Out," like spring thunder and惊蛰, and the initiating transmission is restricted, with the mouth closed and unable to speak. The lesson meaning says: the wealth hexagram and the daily virtue both fall into empty positions, leaving only the storage place of the White Tiger remaining. The patient has no medicine or food, and it is feared that even his soul and spirit may be lost. The explanation is: the Mao wood in the middle transmission is the wealth hexagram, and the Si fire in the final transmission is the daily virtue, both falling into empty positions, leaving only the initial transmission's storage place of the White Tiger, forming the image of a closed mouth. When divining about illness, the patient certainly cannot take in medicine or food; saying that he may lose his soul and spirit means that he is certain to die.

斷曰：涉害之卦，凡事疑滯，孟行不行。發用閉口，似物閉藏，機關莫測。干支上神六合，三傳自墓傳生，而末又助初生，大約先凶後吉，亦有恩中生害之象。凡占以退為進，以晦為明，不當恃才尚智，貽悔後來。

The interpretation states: The hexagram indicates obstacles and hesitation in all affairs, with a situation where one wants to move forward but cannot. The initiating transmission forms a closed mouth image, like something being sealed away, with its mechanisms immeasurable. The day stem and day branch are connected by theLiu He, and the three transmissions proceed from the storage to the growth. The final transmission returns to support the initial one, indicating an overall trend from misfortune to good fortune, also implying that harm may arise within a place of favor. In all divinations, one should retreat as a means of advancement, and concealment as a path to clarity. One should not rely on cleverness or force, for it may leave regret behind.

天時：天罡指陽，主晴。家宅：春占干墓並關，宅應隳廢，墓虎傷支，宅有伏尸，或鄰舍有棺鬼作祟。功名：寅卯年月最利。求財：無利。婚姻：不宜。胎產：涉害，胎孕逾期；閉口，恐生啞子。

On weather: The Tiangang pointing to Chen indicates a yang position, suggesting clear skies. On housing: In spring, if the day stem is in a storage position and is obstructed, the house is likely to be in a state of decay and abandonment; if the storage position is accompanied by the White Tiger, it indicates buried corpses within the house, or ghostly disturbances from neighboring graves. On official rank: The years of Yin and Mao, and the months of Yin and Mao, are most favorable. On wealth: There is no profit to be gained. On marriage: It is not advisable. On childbirth: This is a harmful course, leading to a pregnancy that exceeds the expected delivery date; also encountering a closed mouth, there is a fear that the child may be born mute.

疾病：主腎虛氣促，或痰氣格塞瘖啞，或禁口痢，或喉塞不食。失脫：人見而不肯言。爭訟：閉口，屈不得伸。出行：有阻。行人：不歸。捕獲：不得。兵戰：宜慎。墳葬：龍虎值空，未為全吉，然墓作生氣，逢寅卯亦發。

On disease: it indicates kidney qi deficiency and shortness of breath, or phlegm and qi blockage leading to loss of voice, or dysentery with locked mouth, or obstruction in the throat making it impossible to eat. On lost property: someone has seen it but is unwilling to speak. On litigation: it shows a closed mouth, indicating that grievances cannot be expressed. On travel: there are obstacles. On a traveler: he will not return. On capturing thieves: they cannot be caught. On military affairs: one should be cautious. On burial: both the Azure Dragon and White Tiger directions are empty, which is not entirely auspicious, but the storage (mùkù) transforms into life qi (shēngqì), and during the years of Yin and Mao, success can be achieved.

畢法云：不行傳者考初時，空上逢空事莫追，支乘墓虎有伏尸，干墓並關人宅廢。課經云：干上子脫辛，晝占乘天空，是名脫空神。凡占皆無中生有，全無實跡，不足取信。如旬空乘天空亦然。纂義云：丑虎乘墓加支，宅有伏尸，或鄰舍有棺槨，不無鬼祟。指掌賦云：丑卯巳為出戶，春雷震蟄。

The "Bifa Fu" says: If the three transmissions do not lead to a conclusion, then look back at the time of the first transmission's initiation; if there is another kongwang on top of kongwang, the matter does not need further investigation; if the day branch is accompanied by a storage place and carries the white tiger, there are buried corpses in the house; if the day stem's storage place is combined with the separating god, both people and the house will be ruined. The "Ke Jing" says: If the day stem has zi water that drains the qi of xin metal, and in the daytime it is also accompanied by the heavenly void, this is called "tuo kong shen". In all divinations, if there is nothing real, and it is made up from nothing, there are no real traces, and it is not worth believing; if the旬空 god is also accompanied by the heavenly void, it is the same. The "Zuanyi" says: If the chou earth carries the white tiger and is on top of the storage place added to the day branch, there are hidden corpses in the house, or coffins in the neighboring houses, and ghosts are inevitable. The "Zhipang Fu" says: If the three transmissions are chou, mao, and si, it is called "chu hu", like spring thunder awakening hibernating insects.

課體：元首，進茹，不備，閉口。課義：故意相虧，狐假虎威，己財既失，意外何希。解曰：支來加干，上門相脫，喜得坐下戌土敵之，亥懼而不敢脫，是辛猶狐而戌猶虎，即狐假虎威之喻也。中末寅卯，己之財也。乃作空亡，己財則既失矣，意外之獲，尚何可希冀乎。斷曰：退茹空亡，大宜進步，又值網刃，不宜向前。大約進退維谷，動靜兩難之象。且干上逢脫，夜將乘元，是為脫盜。支上子亦脫氣，凡事盡被脫耗虛詐不實也。

The lesson pattern is the head, and the three transmissions follow in sequence, indicating a progressive loss. The four lessons are incomplete, and there is also a closed mouth. The lesson meaning says: the other party intentionally makes me lose out, but it is merely a case of a fox riding on a tiger's back. My own wealth has already been lost, so what can I expect from unexpected gains? The explanation says: the day branch is added to the day stem, and the upper element drains and removes my strength. Fortunately, the戌 earth under the day stem can resist it, and the亥 water is afraid and does not dare to remove it. This is like the辛 metal being the fox and the戌 earth being the tiger, exactly the metaphor of a fox riding on a tiger's back. The middle transmission is寅 and the final transmission is卯, both of which are my wealth elements, but they fall into the empty and lost position. My own wealth has already been lost, so what can I expect from unexpected gains? The conclusion says: the three transmissions retreat and fall into the empty and lost position, which originally suggests a favorable opportunity to move forward, but it also meets the net and the yang ren, so it is not advisable to move forward. This indicates a situation of being caught between advancing and retreating, with neither action being appropriate. Moreover, the day stem meets an element that drains and removes its strength, and for a night divination, the heavenly general is riding the black tortoise, which is called "drain and steal." The子 water on the day branch also drains energy, and all matters are drained and consumed, resulting in something false and not genuine.

天時：主陰。家宅：人口衰憊，且有耗財之患。功名：財空，官星不見，不吉。求財：己財且失，何暇外求。婚姻：龍后乘墓，不佳。胎產：孕生男，但閉口，當生啞子，占產不易。

On the weather: it indicates overcast skies. Regarding the residence: the family members are weak and exhausted, and there is a risk of financial loss. Regarding official rank: the wealth sign is empty, and the official star does not appear, which is unfavorable. Regarding seeking wealth: one cannot even keep their own money safe, how can they go out to seek more? Regarding marriage: both the Azure Dragon and the Heavenly Empress are in the Storage position, which is not good. Regarding childbirth: the fetus is male, but there is an indication of being sealed, which may result in a child who cannot speak; predicting childbirth is difficult.

疾病：心經之病，不能飲食，或不能言語，凶而有救。失脫：主見者不肯言。爭訟：冤不能伸。出行：進茹空亡，不宜前往。行人：未歸。捕獲：難獲。兵戰：不利。墳葬：不能生長草木，將來家道漸貧。

On illness: Illness of the heart meridian, characterized by an inability to eat or speak, is dangerous but treatable. On lost items: The person who saw it is unwilling to speak. On lawsuits: Injustice cannot be rectified. On travel: Entering a place that meets with kongwang, it is not advisable to go. On a traveler: He has not yet returned. On capturing thieves: Difficult to capture. On military affairs: Unfavorable. On burial: The place will not grow grass or trees, and the family fortune will gradually decline.

畢法云：須憂狐假虎威儀，脫上逢脫防虛詐，所謀多拙遭羅網，干墓並關人宅廢，不行傳者考初時。斷鏡云：亥將戌時占此課，定主失脫。緣干上亥為日之盜神，將乘元武。又初傳為日之墓，中末日財，又係旬空。縱太陽照武，奈戌時太陽已歸地下，其賊難獲，果驗。

The "Bi Fa Fu" says: be concerned about the false authority of a fox riding on a tiger; when there is a leakage above another leakage, beware of deception and false words; most plans will be clumsy and fail, indicating being trapped in a net; when the day stem's墓库 and 关隔 are together, both person and house will decline; if the three transmissions cannot lead to a conclusion, then look back at the initial transmission's starting time. The "Duan Jing" says: using the亥 general at戌 time to obtain this divination, it certainly indicates theft and escape. Because the亥 water on the day stem is the day stem's thief god, and it is also occupied by the Black Tortoise; the initial transmission is the day stem'sStorage, while the middle and final transmissions are the day stem's wealth lines, yet they all fall into the旬空. Although the sun can break the Black Tortoise, the sun has already set below the ground at戌 time, making it difficult to catch the thief, and later it indeed came true.
