On Dingsi day, First Arrangement: Heaven above Wei.

課體：伏吟，元胎，勵德。課義：支干拱祿，元財捧逐，夜虎臨寅，雙丁動速。

The three aspects of the lesson pattern are: 'Hidden Chant' where the heavens and earth discs overlap and all deities remain in their original positions; 'Original Vitality' where theFetal Spirit initiates the transmission; and 'Inspiring Virtue' where the hidden yin deity of the day stem initiates the transmission. The lesson meaning states: the day stem is on the position of Wei and the day branch is on the position of Si, with the central position of Wu, the禄, included in between; the Black Tortoise holds the wealth爻 while the Ding deity drives from behind; in a night divination, the White Tiger is also on the position of Yin wood; two Ding deities initiate simultaneously, indicating that the matter will come about very quickly.

解曰：丁以午為祿，干未支巳，拱午在內，宜占食祿事。初傳巳火，遁得旬丁。中傳申金，乃是日財。晝乘元武，是被丁神所逐，元武所捧，動必有失。末傳寅木生氣，夜乘白虎，其性猛烈。丁巳在支，又作發用，雙丁齊發，豈非動之至速者耶。

Dingsi fire's strength is in Wu. The day stem is Wei and the day branch is Si, so Wu, the position of fire's strength, is sandwiched between them. Therefore, it is suitable for divination regarding salary and food. The first transmission is Si fire, and during the ten-day cycle, the hidden stem is exactly Dingsi. The middle transmission is Shen metal, which is the wealth hexagram for Dingsi day. In daytime divination, it is accompanied by Yuanwu, meaning the wealth is in front being chased by Dingsi spirit and in the back being supported by Yuanwu, so any movement will surely lead to some mishap. The final transmission is Yin wood, which is the life qi for Dingsi fire. In night divination, it is accompanied by Baihu, which is fierce and fierce. The Si in Dingsi falls on the day branch and serves as the initiating transmission. Two Dingsi spirits are simultaneously activated, so the matter will naturally come quickly.

斷曰：伏吟本靜，發用遁丁，反主搖動。三傳相刑相剋，父母必有迍邅。日生上神，虛費百出，丁神坐宅，屋宇非寧。妻乘蛇武，三月占之，須憂疾病，惟占官則吉也。

Fuyin is essentially about remaining still and guarding, but if the initiating transmission is occupied by Ding, it instead indicates instability and restlessness. There is mutual punishment and mutual control among the three transmissions, meaning that the parents' generation will surely face difficulties. The day stem is not able to generate the upper god, leading to continuous unnecessary expenses. The Ding god is seated in the house position, causing the house to be in disorder. The wife and wealth hexagram is occupied by Teng Snake and Black Tortoise. If this is divined in March, there is concern for illness. The only favorable aspect is the official position.

天時：朱雀飛空，主晴。家宅：宅上皆丁，必有動搖。功名：拱祿至吉。求財：宜得暗財。婚姻：欠利。胎產：女孕，難產。出行：防有疾病。行人：立至。捕獲：尋男宜東南，尋女宜西南，盜不出境。兵戰：防詐。

Heavenly conditions: The Vermilion Bird flies into the sky, indicating clear weather. Home: The house is filled with the presence of the Ding deity, indicating turmoil within the household. Achievements: The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches enclose the禄 deity, which is most auspicious. Seeking wealth: It is favorable to gain hidden wealth. Marriage: There is a lack of mutual benefit. Pregnancy and childbirth: The fetus is female, and the delivery will be difficult. Travel: Be cautious of illness on the way. Travelers: The traveler will arrive soon. Capture: To find a man, go to the southeast; to find a woman, go to the southwest; thieves will not escape abroad. Warfare: Be cautious of the enemy using deception.

畢法云：任信丁馬須言動。斷驗：壬申三十七歲，戊戌六月未將未時，占前程，曰：丁巳以寅為學堂，行年到寅，必主發解。緣初傳臨官，天空為聲譽故也。中傳妻宮，上乘元武光怪，申為猿猴，主妻被猿猴所迷。四年之後，移居妻家，緣丁神止一，巳卻有二。巳為居宅，兩巳相併也。晚年及第，官州司禮，末傳寅木克太常也。易簀之時，當無子息在前，緣傳中無子息爻故也，後皆驗。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When encountering the god Ding and the Post-horse, it should be interpreted as an indication of movement. The "Duanyan" records a case: A person born in the year Renshen, at the age of thirty-seven, consulted about his future in the sixth month of the year Wuxu, with the month general being Wei and the time being Wei. The interpreter said: On the day Dingsi, with the trigram Yin as the academy, since the person's age is now at Yin, he will certainly pass the local examination. This is because the first transmission falls on the position of officialdom, and Tian Kong indicates reputation. The middle transmission is the wife's palace, with the superior element being the Black Tortoise, which signifies strange and confusing influences. Since Shen belongs to the monkey, the wife will be deceived by spirits of the monkey kind. Four years later, he will move to live with his wife, because there is only one Ding god but two Sis, and Si represents the residence, so two Sis together indicate two residences. He will achieve success in his later years, attaining an official position at the level of the state's ceremonial office, due to the final transmission of Yin wood overcoming Tai Chang. At the time of his death, he will not have children to attend him, because there is no son's element in the three transmissions. All these predictions were later fulfilled.

課體：元首，退茹，斬關。課義：旺祿長生，晝夜虎並，身心費盡，略無少成。

The three elements of the lesson pattern: the 'Yuan Shou' which is the only instance in the four lessons where the upper god overcomes the lower god and is used as the initiating transmission; the 'Tui Ru' which refers to the three transmissions each following the previous one in a backward sequence; and the 'Zhan Guan' which involves the presence of a horse and a conflict with the gate. The lesson meaning states: prosperity and longevity along with growth are inherently good things, but in both day and night divinations they are suppressed by the White Tiger, resulting in the exhaustion of both body and mind and achieving nothing.

解曰：午為日之旺祿，寅為日之長生，晝虎乘祿，夜虎乘生。末傳丑土，乃值旬空，復作脫氣，既驚既危，復失復耗。若有謀望，枉費身心，一無就緒之象。

The fire of the hour Wu is the strong and prosperous stem for the day stem Ding. The wood of the hour Yin is the place of growth for the fire of Ding. During the day, the White Tiger is on the禄神 (prosperous stem), and at night, the White Tiger is on theGrowth (growth). Both auspicious spirits are suppressed by malevolent generals. The final transmission, the earth branch Chou, is both in the旬空 (empty period) and is a spirit that drains the energy of the day stem. Thus, there is both alarm and danger, followed by loss and depletion. If there are any plans or aspirations, they will be in vain, with no clear direction or understanding.

斷曰：退茹之課，末傳旬空，大宜進取，不宜退縮。但旺祿臨身，止當謹守，又恐妄動生災。末傳雖係空脫，幸在生方，凡事費而有成，美中不足。

The textbook suggests that the situation indicates gradual retreat, but the final transmission coincides with the旬空, meaning there is no further retreat possible, and it is actually favorable to advance. However, since the旺禄 is present on one's own, one should still be cautious and maintain the current state, as any reckless action may lead to misfortune. Although the final transmission is both empty and detached, it fortunately falls in the long life position, meaning that although things may be troublesome, they will eventually succeed. The only drawback is that it is not perfect.

天時：火上水下，三傳生日，有風無雨。家宅：宅上晝夜乘龍脫干脫支，必因喜事耗費。功名：有祿無官，占非全吉。求財：財爻不現，求之不得。婚姻：女占男吉。胎產：男孕，易產，干支自傷，微災不免。

Heavenly conditions: Fire is above and water is below, and the three transmissions all nourish the day stem. This indicates a wind but no rain. For the household: The house is occupied by the Azure Dragon both day and night. The Azure Dragon both drains the day stem and the day branch, indicating expenses due to celebrations. For official rank: There is only the禄神 (favorable official) but no官星 (official star), so the fortune for fame is not entirely auspicious. For seeking wealth: The wealth element does not appear in the course or transmission, so it cannot be obtained. For marriage: It is favorable for the man if the woman divines. For pregnancy and childbirth: The fetus is male and delivery is easy, but the stem and branch mutually harm each other, leading to some minor misfortune.

疾病：脾土受傷，五月占即愈。失脫：速覓可獲。出行：水路晝夜皆可，唯慮耗費稍多，不如在家。行人：尚未啟行。捕獲：晝占在西南方飲食，夜占在北方陰貴家。兵戰：夜占稍吉，晝占不利。

Disease: The spleen earth is injured; when the month of May arrives, when fire is strong and generates earth, the illness will be cured. Loss: Hurry to search for it and it can still be recovered. Travel: Travel by water route day and night is possible, but it will cost more, and it is still better to stay at home. Traveler: Has not yet started the journey. Capture: If divined during the day, search for people in the southwest direction where they eat; if divined at night, search in the northern direction at the nobleman's house. Military conflict: If divined at night, it is slightly favorable; if divined during the day, it is unfavorable.

畢法云：旺祿臨身徒妄作，退茹空亡宜進步。課經云：日之祿神，又作日之旺神，臨於干上，切宜坐守。若舍此謀動，則初傳勾空，中傳寅木長生乘虎，末傳脫氣逢空，誠所謂到處去來，不如在此之象。神定經云：功曹乘虎在門，當有貓兒起禍，致擾門戶。括囊賦云：木逢勾虎，必棟折於三刑。玉成歌云：天空立用事無憑。

The "Bi Fa Fu" says: When a person's day stem's禄 is strong and present, yet they act recklessly, it is just in vain; if the final transmission of the divination is empty and the day stem's禄 is in retreat, it is actually favorable to move forward. The "Ke Jing" explains: When the day stem's禄 is also its旺, and it is present on the day stem, one should be cautious and stay still. If one abandons this present advantage to take action, then the first transmission is Gou Chen in empty, the middle transmission is寅 wood with long life riding White Tiger, and the final transmission is a loss of energy again meeting empty, which is exactly the image of "running everywhere is worse than staying here." The "Shen Ding Jing" says: Gongcao, which is寅 wood riding White Tiger, is at the gate, indicating there will be a cat causing trouble at home, disturbing the household. The "Kuo Nang Fu" says: When wood meets Gou Chen and White Tiger, it is certain that due to the three punishments, the main beam will break. The "Yu Cheng Ge" says: When Tian Kong is used as the initiating transmission, the matter being divined lacks evidence.

課體：重審，不備，間傳，極陰，寡宿，贅婿。課義：丁馬俱現，人宅相戀，亥水全虧，兩貴相見。

The six elements of the lesson pattern are: 'Chong Shen' (re-examination); 'Bu Bei' (incomplete four lessons); 'Jian Chuan' (intermediate transmission where the three transmissions progress by intervals); 'Ji Yin' (extreme yin where the three transmissions retreat continuously into the yin domain); 'Guasu' (the god of loneliness and destitution in power); and 'Zhu Xu' (the赘婿, the stepson). The meaning of the lesson states: the god of the day and the post-horse both appear in the transmissions; the day branch adds to the day stem, indicating mutual attachment between person and dwelling; the water of亥 is entirely depleted and powerless; and the last two noblemen meet.

解曰：干上巳為旬丁，中傳亥為日馬，課傳俱見，動不容己。本日之支來加干上，又乘生氣，是人宅相戀也。發用空脫，亥貴落空，而又上下受克，全然無氣矣。末雖兩貴相加，但五陰相繼，利私而不利公，雖有動意，亦不甚發皇耳。

The day stem is in the巳旬 and the hidden god is丁. The middle transmission is亥 water, which is theThe Post-horse for丁 day. Both丁 and itsThe Post-horse are revealed in the transmission, so movement is not possible even if one wishes to avoid it. The day branch巳 comes to join the day stem and carries the life qi, so it indicates that person and home are attached to each other. The initiating transmission god is both empty and detached, and the亥 water nobleman also falls intoKongwang. Both upper and lower are subject to defeat, with no life qi present. Although the final transmission is the combination of two nobles, there are five consecutive阴 gods coming in succession, which benefits private matters but not public ones. Even if there is a sign of movement, it cannot be expressed openly.

斷曰：課名極陰，諸占昏晦，又名間傳，進步艱難。贅婿不能自由，寡宿不能作實。三傳空二，獨存一酉。唯夜占財貴為相宜也。

The divination is extremely阴 (yin), and all predictions are obscure and unclear; it is also called the intermittent transmission. The progress is very difficult. The pattern of a赘婿 (zhuexu, a dependent husband) cannot make independent decisions, and the pattern of aGuasu (guasu, a lonely host) does not reach a concrete result. Among the three transmissions, two are empty, leaving only one酉 (you, metal) that has a clear connection. Only when the divination is done at night, taking酉 as wealth and as a superior, is it considered appropriate.

天時：課傳六陰，濃陰之象。家宅：敗氣臨宅，日漸衰微。功名：貴人坐空臨絕，不吉。求財：宜得陰貴人之財。婚姻：課名贅婿，以女就男則吉。胎產：陰極陽生，孕男，難產。

Heavenly conditions: All six positions of the Four Lessons and Three Transmissions are yin, indicating dense clouds. Family residence: The atmosphere of decline and exhaustion is present, indicating a gradual decline of the family. Achievements: The Nobleman is seated on Kongwang and approaches the place of exhaustion, which is not auspicious for fame. Seeking wealth: Wealth should be obtained from the yin Nobleman. Marriage: The lesson indicates a stepson; if the woman moves to the man's side, it will be favorable. Pregnancy: When yin reaches its extreme, it turns to yang, indicating a male fetus, but with difficulty in childbirth.

疾病：肝膽受病，或大小腸之疾。出行：人宅眷戀不行。行人：未至。捕獲：難擒。兵戰：夜占可畏，勞師無益。

Disease: The illness is in the liver and gallbladder, or perhaps in the large or small intestines. Travel: The person and the house mutually cling to each other, making it impossible to go. Traveler: Has not yet arrived. Capture: Difficult to capture. Military conflict: The situation is fearsome if it comes at night, and mobilizing troops will bring no benefit.

畢法云：晝夜貴加求兩貴。古鑑：丁巳五十二歲，戊申六月未將酉時，占家宅，曰：丁火自旺方逆歸死絕之地，宅上之卯，末傳之酉，皆六數，主六年敗盡產業，兼退人口。宅前有大朽木，宜急去之，否則生事。緣卯有乙木，上乘天空，故主朽也。又閣後作豬欄，豬盛克人，四年敗壞，六年盡廢矣。蓋五為後閣，亥為豬也。酉為婢，為今日之死神，主本年十月婢死廁中。緣亥為日干絕神，又為汙穢之地故也，悉驗。

The *Bifa Fu* says: The daytime nobleman and the nighttime nobleman should be combined, and it is appropriate to seek the presence of both noblemen at the same time. The *Gujian* records a case: A person born in the year Dingsi, aged fifty-two, consulted about the family residence in the sixth month of the year Wushen, with the month general being Wei and the time being You. The interpreter said: The fire of Dingsi follows its own strong direction and proceeds in reverse, eventually reaching a dead and exhausted place. The卯 (Mao) on the residence and the酉 (You) in the final transmission both have the number six, indicating that the family's property will be completely lost within six years, and the population will also decrease. There is a large rotten tree in front of the house, which should be removed as soon as possible, otherwise something bad will happen—because the wood in Mao contains the wood of Yi, and there is also Tian Kong above it, indicating decay. It also said that a pigpen was built behind the building, and many pigs would harm people, causing the family's business to collapse within four years and completely ruined within six years—Si represents the back building, and Hai represents pigs (the character 'five' should be 'Si'). You is a servant, and also the death deity of the day, indicating that a servant will die in the toilet in the tenth month of the year—because Hai is the dead deity of the day Dingsi, and it is also a place of filth. All these predictions later came true.

課體：遙克，蒿矢，元胎，閉口。課義：晝真斬關，逃者不還，馬射孤矢，委鏃傷殘。

The four categories of lesson patterns include: "Remote克制" (Yao Ke), where there is no mutualrestrain between the four lessons above and below, and the initiating transmission is determined by the day stem and a distant god mutuallyrestrain, with the other godrestrain the day stem called "Hao Shi"; "Yuan Tai", which uses the fetal god as the initiating transmission; and "Bi Kou", which uses the end of the ten-day period added to the beginning of the ten-day period as the initiating transmission. The meaning of the lesson states: daytime divination is the real cutting through the gate; a person who flees will not return; the post-horse is like an arrow on the string, the arrowhead is already in place, and once shot, it will certainly injure someone.

解曰：天罡臨干，干又屬丁，而晝乘青龍克辰，故為真斬關。巳為旬丁，亥為驛馬，逃者必然遠逝矣。蒿矢得亥為有馬，中傳遇申，是有矢而委之以鏃也。矢既有鏃，豈能免於傷殘乎。

The Tiangang (Chen) is on top of the day stem, and the day stem belongs to Ding. During the day, the Tiangang is on the Chen earth branch and overcomes the day branch, so it is called true cutting the gate. The Ding spirit is hidden in Si, and Hai is also the post-horse. The person who has run away must have gone very far. The lesson of Hao Shi has Hai, meaning there is a horse to ride; the middle transmission also meets Shen metal, which is like equipping the arrow with an iron tip. If the arrow has a tip, how can it not end in injury?

斷曰：亥為旬尾，寅為旬首，以尾加首發用，是名閉口，有機緘不破之象。青龍在日，六合在支，元武居中，丁馬俱動。凡逃亡者，東西南北，無所不宜。大象出外則吉，居家則凶。

The亥 is the last position of the current ten-day period, and寅 is the first position of the same period. The initiating transmission is formed by adding the end of the period to its beginning, forming the pattern known as "closed mouth," which symbolizes an enclosed mechanism that cannot be opened. The Azure Dragon is on the day stem, the Liu He is on the day branch, the Black Tortoise is in the middle transmission, the Ding spirit and the post-horse are both in action. When divining about fleeing, the person can go in any direction—east, west, south, or north. The overall situation indicates that going out is favorable, but staying at home is unfavorable.

天時：晝貴臨亥剋日，青龍昇天，淋雨之象。家宅：青合臨宅生支，宅中當有喜慶。功名：貴人發用，干支拱祿，占官最吉。求財：宜得陰私之財。婚姻：晝占男吉，夜占女吉。

Heavenly conditions: The Nobleman is present at Hai and attacks the Day Stem, while the Azure Dragon rises to the sky top, indicating a sign of heavy rain. Family affairs: The Azure Dragon and Liu He are present on the house and support the Day Branch, indicating there will be joyful events in the family. Career: The Nobleman serves as the Initiating Transmission, and the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branches together embrace the禄神, making it most auspicious for official positions. Seeking wealth: It is favorable to gain wealth from private and secret sources. Marriage: It is favorable for the male partner during the day and for the female partner during the night.

胎產：男喜，產逆。疾病：晝占肺病，夜占腎病，不能速愈。出行：水陸皆可。行人：立至。捕獲：晝占在東南空窯中，夜占在正東空廟中。兵戰：敵人得利。

Childbirth: Conceiving a male child is considered auspicious, but the position of the fetus is not favorable and the delivery will be reversed. Disease: If divined during the day, it indicates illness of the lung meridian; if divined at night, it indicates illness of the kidney meridian, and neither will recover quickly. Travel: One can travel by water or land. Traveler: The traveler will arrive immediately. Capture: If divined during the day, the person is hidden in a ruined kiln in the southeast direction; if divined at night, the person is hidden in an empty temple to the due east. Warfare: The enemy will gain an advantage.

畢法云：閉口卦體兩般推。指南：子將卯時占升遷，曰：太歲月建生日，目今必然遷擢，多是山環水繞之鄉。蓋支為任所，寅為山，亥為水故也。又貴德驛馬入傳，財官城吏全逢，催官迅速之兆。但忌日上陰陽，剋制官星，須防陳田王姓人為祟。後果授都司，未幾田大司馬，以添注參將罷之。

The *Bi Fa Fu* says that a lesson with a closed mouth should be analyzed in two different situations. The *Liu Ren Zhi Nan* records a case where the month general is taken as the rat (zi), and the time is the hour of the rabbit (mao), predicting a promotion. The interpreter said that both the heavenly stem and the month general came to be born with the day stem, so promotion was certain, and the place of appointment was likely surrounded by mountains and water. The day branch represents the place of appointment, with the tiger (yin) representing mountains and the pig (hai) representing water. It was also said that the nobleman, heavenly virtue, and the post-horse all entered the three transmissions, and the wealth hexagram, official star, and the officials of the heavenly city were all present, indicating a rapid promotion. However, the yin and yang spirits on the day stem were said to restrain the official star, so one should beware of interference from people of the Chen, Tian, and Wang families. Later, he was indeed appointed as the military commander, but soon a general of the Tian family, known as the "added note deputy general," dismissed him.

課體：遙克，蒿矢，曲直，勵德。課義：將脫傳生，蒿矢驚人，末至初位，迤邐傷身。

The four aspects of the lesson pattern include: "Remote克制" where the day stem and the remote spirit mutuallyrestrain, and when another spiritrestrain the day stem, it is called "Hao Shi"; "Qu Zhi" when the three transmissions form a wood triad with Hai, Mao, and Wei; "Li De" when the four lessons are incomplete and the yin stem of the day stem is used to initiate the transmission. The lesson meaning states: the heavenly general during the day is all earth, completely draining the energy of the day stem, yet the three transmissions are all wood, which nourish the day stem; the arrow of Hao Shi is sufficient to alarm; the final transmission returns to the position of the first transmission, with each step successivelyrestrain, injuring oneself.

解曰：晝將全土脫干，三傳全木生干，半憂半喜也。蒿矢有馬，足以驚人。且三傳自下遞克，卯克未，未克亥，亥克丁，須防眾口鑠金，積羽毀軸。

The Heavenly Generals in the daytime are all of earth nature, completely dispersing the fire energy of the day stem; the three transmissions are all wood, which in turn nourish the day stem. Therefore, there is both cause for worry and cause for joy. The divination with the arrow of蒿矢 carries the post-horse, which can disturb others. Moreover, the three transmissions, from bottom to top, are successively mutually controlling:卯 controls 未, 未 controls 亥, and 亥 controls 丁. One must beware of the dangers of words undermining metal and the accumulation of feathers causing a boat to sink.

斷曰：曲直之課，先直後曲，六陰相繼，事盡昏迷，惟利陰私，不宜公用。貴人與朱雀臨絕，宜決絕官訟。上神生日，外助有人。三傳全生，內謀咸遂。春占則吉，無不利也。

This divination lesson begins with straightness and then turns to curves. Six layers of yin spirits follow consecutively, causing all matters to become confused and unclear. It is only favorable for private affairs done in secret, and not suitable for public actions. The nobleman and the Vermilion Bird are both in a state of decline, indicating a proper time to decisively settle legal disputes. The day stem is assisted by the heavenly stem above, suggesting help from someone outside. The three transmissions all mutually generate, meaning internal plans will all go smoothly. Divination in spring is most auspicious, with nothing unfavorable. (The character '鹹' is the same as '咸', meaning all or entirely.)

天時：貴人乘亥發用，早必陰雨，亥為木化，風發即晴。家宅：朱雀臨坐宅，復盜干之氣，當因口舌破財。功名：貴人官星發用，文書旺相，至吉之象。求財：財氣平平。

Heavenly Time: The Nobleman rides the亥 water and initiates transmission, indicating that there will certainly be rain in the early morning; 亥 also transforms into the wood element, so after the wind starts, the weather will turn clear. Family Residence: The Vermilion Bird is seated at the residence position, and it steals the energy of the day stem, leading to financial loss due to verbal disputes. Achievements: The Nobleman and the official star initiate transmission together, with strong and prosperous official energy, which is an extremely auspicious sign, indicating potential for success in official matters. Seeking Wealth: The wealth energy is average, with no noticeable improvement.

婚姻：支上乘空，占婚不吉。胎產：長男未產。疾病：腹疾脾病，即愈。出行：水路不吉，防有口舌。行人：未至。捕獲：晝占可獲，夜占難捕。兵戰：春占甚利，秋占不吉。

Marriage: The deity on the day branch falls into an empty position, indicating an unfavorable omen for marriage. Pregnancy: The fetus is the eldest son, but has not yet reached term. Illness: A sickness in the abdomen or spleen meridian will soon be cured. Travel: Traveling by water is unfavorable, and one should beware of disputes. Travelers: They have not yet arrived. Capture: If divined during the day, the animal can be caught; if divined at night, it is difficult to capture. Warfare: If divined in spring, it is highly advantageous; if divined in autumn, it is unfavorable.

畢法云：三傳互克眾人欺。課經云：亥加卯三傳遞克，朝官宜自撿束，提防臺閣合詞參劾。指掌賦云：亥未卯為轉輪，因顛蹶而自反。玉成歌云：巳亥貴臨多反覆。纂義云：三傳來生，百事皆成。眾人助力，福自來並。中黃經云：馬見巳亥在路岐。

The "Bifa Fu" says: If the three transmissions mutually control each other in sequence, it indicates that one is being oppressed by many people. The "Ke Jing" explains: When亥 is placed on卯, and the three transmissions successively control each other, a government official should restrain himself and beware of a collective petition against him by ministers in the court. The "Zhipang Fu" says: When亥, 未, and卯 form the three transmissions, it is called "Zhuannlun" (turning wheel), indicating a setback and returning to the original position. The "Yucheng Ge" says: When the two noblemen巳 and亥 are present, affairs tend to be fluctuating and changeable. The "Zuanyi" says: If all three transmissions are born from the day stem, all matters will succeed, with the help of many people and natural accumulation of good fortune. The "Zhonghuang Jing" says: When the post-horse meets巳 and亥, the person is on the road traveling.

課體：涉害，度厄，四絕。課義：夜貴壞寅，亥力極輕，秋晝火厄，三傳自刑。

The three types of lesson patterns are: 'Involvement in Harm' which compares the depth of harm caused by the four lessons, where both upper and lower lessons have arestrain relationship; 'Degree of Misfortune' which refers to the elder god bullying the younger god; and 'Four Absolute Destinations' where all four lessons are in a state of绝地. The lesson meaning states: In the night, the nobleman of酉 metal overcomes the long life of寅 wood; although亥 water can nourish寅, its strength is extremely weak; if the divination is done in autumn during the day, one should beware of fire calamities; the three transmissions mutually self-punish.

解曰：寅乃丁火之長生，酉臨受克，則長生為夜貴所壞矣。晝貴亥水，作丁火之官鬼，力能生寅，卻臨於辰獄之上，全然無氣。支上子水，晝乘螣蛇克宅克干，秋時子為火鬼，須防火燭之驚。三傳俱是自刑，未免失於矜高，大宜謙抑，以永終譽。

The wood of寅 is the place of growth for the fire of丁. Now the metal of酉 is sitting on top of寅 and is restraining it, thus the growth is ruined by the nobleman at night. The nobleman during the day is the water of亥, which is the official ghost of丁 fire. Although it can nourish寅, it is situated on the prison of辰, and there is no life qi. The water of子 in the day branch is riding on the Teng Snake, and it is both harming the house and the day stem. In autumn, the water of子 also acts as the official ghost of fire, so one must be careful of disturbances from fire and candles. Each of the three transmissions carries a punishment, and the person divining is prone to arrogance. It is most suitable to be humble and yield, in order to preserve one's good reputation in the end.

斷曰：度厄之課，以長凌幼，卑賤不安。但夜貴克生，尊長亦恐病訟。日辰交車六害，彼此懷猜。干實支空，人情未協，亦人旺宅衰之象。

The divination indicates that the elder will oppress the younger, and the one in a lower position will find it difficult to settle. However, the night noble is both restrained and requires to generate the寅 wood, suggesting that the elders may also face illness or disputes. The day stem and day branch interact in a way that forms the six harms, indicating mutual suspicion. The day stem is solid while the day branch is empty, leading to inharmonious human relations, which is an omen of people being strong but the dwelling place weak.

天時：畢宿發用，天罡指陰，青龍臨日，當日有雨。家宅：螣蛇克宅，必見驚恐。功名：夜占青龍臨干，貴人發用，占名最吉。求財：秋占大旺，得貴人之財。婚姻：夜占男吉。

Heavenly Time: The deity of the Net mansion initiates the transmission, the Tiangang (Chen) points to the yin position, and the Azure Dragon approaches the day stem, indicating rain that day. Family Residence: The Teng Snake overpowers the residence deity, meaning there will certainly be frightening events at home. Achievements: Divining at night with the Azure Dragon approaching the day stem and the Nobleman serving as the initiating transmission, is most auspicious for seeking fame. Wealth: Divining in autumn indicates a strong prosperity in wealth, and one can gain wealth from the Nobleman. Marriage: Divining at night is favorable for the male party.

胎產：男喜產速，占孕恐是鬼胎。疾病：夜占白虎乘辰，腎經虛弱，病空即愈。出行：陸路甚吉，水路不佳。行人：尚未起身。捕獲：防捕役縱放。兵戰：當中止。

Pregnancy and childbirth: If pregnant with a male child, it is a happy omen, and childbirth will be quick. However, if one is divining about pregnancy, it may not be a regular pregnancy. Disease: If divining at night with the White Tiger riding the earth dragon, it indicates weakness in the kidney meridian, and the illness will naturally recover when the Bingfu falls into the void. Travel: Traveling by land is auspicious, but traveling by water is not good. Travelers: They have not yet set out. Capture: Be cautious of the police letting go of suspects secretly. Warfare: It is advisable to stop in the middle of the battle.

畢法云：龍加生氣吉遲遲(三月夜占)。太乙經云：二月丁巳日，魁加卯，神后加巳。巳，火也。神后，水也。水傷火，又丁巳復往助之，為婦死。玉成歌云：晝夜貴入傳共見，或同日德動高尊。照膽秘訣云：傳包兩貴並天德，見君干貴任南北。

The "Bifa Fu" states: When the Azure Dragon is over the Life Qi, auspicious events come slowly (referring to divination at night in the third month). The "Taiyi Jing" says: On the second month Dingsi day, the Heavenly General Wu is placed on the卯 (Mao), and Shenhou Zi is placed on the巳 (Si). The巳 belongs to fire, and Shenhou belongs to water; water harms fire. The Dingsi day also enhances the water, indicating the death of a woman. The "Yucheng Ge" states: If the day's Nobleman and night's Nobleman both appear in the Three Transmissions, or if they appear together with the Day's Virtue, it indicates disturbance of the noble or respected person. The "Zhaochan Miaoji" states: If the Three Transmissions sandwich two Noblemen and also include Heavenly Virtue, it is favorable for meeting the king, seeking favor from the noble, and traveling either south or north.

課體：反吟，元胎，勵德。課義：脫空宜棄，丁馬迭至，夜動文書，晝動因貴。

The three categories of the lesson pattern are: 'Reverse Chant' which refers to the conflict between the Heaven and Earth disks; 'Original Fetus' which is based on the fetal god initiating the transmission; and 'Inspiring Virtue' which is derived from the Yin spirit of the day stem initiating the transmission. The meaning of the lesson states: the earthy branch 'Chou' is both dispersing its energy and falling into emptiness, so it can only be abandoned and not held onto; the spirit 'Ding' and the post-horse alternate in arrival; if the divination is done at night, the movement comes from documents, while if done during the day, the movement comes from the nobleman.

解曰：丑為日之脫氣，又遇旬空，可棄而不可守。巳為旬丁，亥為驛馬，三傳更迭而至，其動自不容己。中傳之亥水，夜則乘雀，晝則乘貴，所以致動之由，非文書之徵發，即貴人之圖謀也。

The earth dog is a spirit that drains the energy of the fire spirit ding, and it is also in the empty position of the ten-day cycle, so it can only be abandoned and cannot be held onto. The fire spirit ding is hidden within the snake, and the horse is in the亥 position, which alternately appears in the three transmissions, so one cannot remain still even if they wish to. The middle transmission's water in the亥 position, when divined at night, is accompanied by the Vermilion Bird, and when divined during the day, it is accompanied by the Nobleman. Therefore, the reason for the movement is either due to official documents being summoned or due to the Nobleman having some ulterior motives.

斷曰：反吟之課，已為動象。復乘丁馬，去來倏忽，刻無寧咎矣。晝貴為德神，坐於宅上，而克支干。常人須憂病訟，仕宦則占也。夜占亥乘朱雀克宅，亦防火驚。

Reverse Chant divination already presents a dynamic image; when combined with the Ding God and the Post-horse, movement is swift and sudden, causing no moment of peace. During the day, the Nobleman also serves as the Virtuous God, sitting at the dwelling position but simultaneously overcoming the Day Stem and Day Branch; ordinary people should worry about illness and litigation, but for officials, this becomes favorable. At night, when the亥 water is multiplied by the Vermilion Bird to attack the dwelling, one should also be cautious of fire-related disturbances.

天時：天地相通，反覆不定，或晴或雨，俄頃即變。家宅：夜雀臨宅克宅，訟災難免。功名：貴人晝臨宅上，干支拱祿，至吉之象，但嫌不能滿任。求財：反覆無益。婚姻：女雖貴介，但干上空脫，不吉。

Heavenly conditions: The heavens and earth discs are in opposition yet connected, causing unstable weather, with sudden changes from clear to rainy within a short time. Family home: Divining at night shows the Vermilion Bird approaching and attacking the house, indicating unavoidable lawsuits and misfortunes. Career: Divining during the day shows a Nobleman approaching the house, with the day stem and branch enclosing the禄神, which is an extremely auspicious sign, though it is regrettable that the term of office may not be fulfilled. Seeking wealth: Repeated efforts will ultimately be of no benefit. Marriage: Although the woman comes from a noble and distinguished family, the heavenly stem on the day is empty and detached, which still indicates an inauspicious situation.

胎產：恐是雙女，母實兒空，占產不吉。疾病：腎經與頭面有病，須防翻覆，出行：水路吉，亦防口舌。行人：立至。捕獲：一在西，一在北，皆有奸盜事。兵戰：更宜別圖良策，乃吉。

Childbirth: It is likely a twin girl, with the mother's side solid and the fetus's side empty, indicating an unfavorable omen for childbirth. Disease: The illness affects the kidney meridian and the head and face, and there is a risk of recurring episodes. Travel: Traveling by water is favorable, but also beware of disputes over words. Travelers: They will arrive immediately. Capture: One is in the west and one is in the north, both involved in matters of adultery and theft. Warfare: Another strategy should be sought in order to achieve a favorable outcome.

畢法云：鬼乘天乙乃神祇，脫上逢脫防虛詐。課經云：日干生上神，丑土上神又生天將太陰，名脫上脫。凡占盡被脫耗，有虛詐不實之象。又曰：鬼乘天乙臨宅上者，必是家堂神像不肅而致病苦。宜修建功德，安慰宅神，庶得無咎。玉成歌云：巳亥貴臨多反覆。又云：雀傷支日鬧家門。三才賦云：巳亥逢驛馬並駕，在路奔騰。

The *Bifa Fu* says: If the official ghost is riding on the Heavenly General and Nobleman, it indicates that supernatural forces are causing trouble; if a god is separated from another god, one should beware of false and fraudulent matters. The *Ke Jing* explains: When the day stem goes to generate the upper god, and the upper god of the earth branch also goes to generate the Heavenly General Tai Yin, this is called "double separation." In all divinations, things are gradually leaked and become hollow and not genuine. It also says: If the official ghost rides on the Heavenly General and Nobleman and is located on the house, it must be that the family's deity image is not clean and orderly, thus causing illness. One should cultivate virtue and comfort the household deity to avoid misfortune. The *Yucheng Ge* says: If the Nobleman is on the巳 or亥, matters often change; it also says that if the Vermilion Bird harms the day branch and day stem, the family will be unsettled. The *Sancai Fu* says: When巳 or亥 and the Post-horse are together, a person is constantly traveling.
