Renxu day, ninth section: stem on卯 (Mao)

課體：重審，曲直。課義：遞互可親，夜將克身，三傳脫氣，卻為救神。

The lesson pattern is a combination of review and curved straight lines. The lesson meaning states: the day stem and day branch interact and form a mutual combination, showing closeness between them; when divining at night, the heavenly general belongs to earth and attacks the day stem's body, although the three transmissions form a wood pattern which may seem to release and drain the day stem's energy, it actually becomes a divine rescue.

解曰：干支交車六合，殊覺可親。三傳木局，晝占本為脫氣。若夜將勾常天乙，皆屬土神傷日，卻轉賴木局制之，是雖名脫氣，實為救神也。

The heavenly stem on the day and the heavenly stem on the day branch interact with each other, forming a close connection. The three transmissions form a wood pattern, and during the day, using the textbook as a method is considered to be draining and consuming the壬 water, which is referred to as a release of energy. However, when divining at night, Gou Chen, Tai Chang, and Tian Yi Nobleman all belong to earth, and they come together to harm the day's heavenly stem. At this time, the wood pattern is actually needed to restrain the earth, so although it is called a release of energy, it is actually a saving deity.

斷曰：重審之卦，事宜後起，三傳化木，名曰曲直。動則如意，靜則不寧，有先曲後直，始難終易之象。課傳三六相合，且末克初傳，又逢吉將，凡占化凶為吉，意無不遂。但中傳德祿屬水，晝乘天空，乃虛誑之神，凡事恆苦不實。若問祿位，非其所宜。

The matter of the divination should be reconsidered later. The three transmissions form a wood pattern, known as "curved and straight," which signifies the heart's movement. When active, it is favorable, but when still, it is uneasy, indicating a situation that starts with difficulty and ends with ease. In the divination and the three transmissions, both triple harmony andLiu He are present. The final transmission also overcomes the first, and with the appearance of a favorable heavenly general, any divination can turn misfortune into good fortune, and all wishes will be fulfilled. However, the middle transmission is亥, which is the virtue and禄 of壬, belonging to the water phase. During the day, it is accompanied by Tian Kong (a heavenly general indicating falsehood and lack of reality), so all matters are difficult to make concrete. If the question is about official rank or titles, it is not appropriate.

天時：三傳木局主風，水升火降主雨。家宅：人宅安寧，但晝占元武脫日，臨宅克宅，防盜。功名：祿遭夾克，未命人大利，餘不吉。求財：財坐長生，夜占可得，晝占難。婚姻：傳課三六合，大吉。胎產：孕女，產遲而難。疾病：肝家受風，或虛脫之症，難愈。出行：甚利，但防耗失。行人：未能起身。捕獲：宜向西南山林池沼之處捕之。兵戰：防被敵賺，宜加謹慎。

Heavenly conditions: The three transmissions form a wood pattern, indicating wind. If water rises and fire descends, it indicates rain. Home: Both people and the house are peaceful, but during the day, the Black Tortoise drains the day stem and the house is attacked by the house, so one should be cautious of thieves. Career: The禄神 is attacked from both sides, so those born in the hour of Wei will have great benefit, while others will have bad fortune. Seeking wealth: The wealth element is in the position of growth, so if it is night divination, wealth can be obtained, but during the day it is difficult to obtain. Marriage: The lesson and the three transmissions are all in triple harmony and Liu He, which is very auspicious. Pregnancy: The fetus is female, and the childbirth will be late and difficult. Illness: The liver is affected by wind evil, or there is a deficiency of qi and blood, which is difficult to recover. Travel: It is very favorable, but one should be careful of losses. Searching for a person: The person has not yet left. Capturing: It is suitable to search in the southwest mountains, forests, ponds, and swamps. Warfare: One should be cautious of being deceived by the enemy and must be very careful.

畢法云：眾鬼雖彰全不畏，交車相合交關利，萬事喜欣三六合。觀月經云：三六相呼見喜欣，縱然帶惡不成嗔。帶惡者，如金日得寅午戌之類，三傳克干，亦不為害；仍可成合，唯不宜占憂疑解散之事。

The Three Provisions of the "Bi Fa Fu" apply to this divination: although many ghosts are visible, they are all not to be feared; the day stem and day branch interact and form a harmonious combination, which is beneficial for trade and transactions; the triple harmony and the six harmonies are both present, leading to joy in all matters. According to "Guan Jing Xing," when triple harmony and six harmonies correspond with each other, there will be celebration, and even if there are harmful elements, anger cannot arise.the so-called带恶, means that even if there are harmful influences, such as when the day is metal and theYin-Wu-Xu (Fire triad) fire trinity is present, although the three transmissions may overcome the day stem, they do not cause harm and can still form a harmonious relationship; however, such a configuration is not suitable for divination regarding the dispersion of doubts or worries.

課體：遙克，蒿矢，稼穡，勵德，蕪淫。課義：蒿矢虛驚，交互欺凌，身依寅木，眾鬼難侵。

The lesson pattern is "Remote Control" (where the four lessons do not mutually control each other, and the initiating transmission is derived from a remote control). It is specifically "Hao Shi" (the lower god remotely controls the day stem, like a withered reed used as an arrow, weak and unable to cause real harm), combined with "Jia Se" (the three transmissions form a earth pattern of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei), "Li De" (virtue and diligence), and "Wu Yin" (the stem and branch mutually multiply the yin god, indicating disorder and licentiousness). The lesson meaning states: the arrow of Hao Shi can only cause a false alarm; the day stem and day branch mutually oppress each other. Fortunately, the day stem is supported by the寅 wood above, so numerous officials and ghosts find it difficult to invade.

解曰：干支交互克賊，寅實丑空。發用蒿矢，且三傳俱鬼，誠為凶兆。喜得初坐空鄉，事主虛驚。更賴干上寅木，能敵傳土。雖然脫氣，實為救神。經曰：眾鬼雖彰全不畏，此之謂也。

The day stem and day branch interact with mutual overcoming, the寅 wood on the stem is real, but the丑 earth in the transmission falls into kongwang. The initiating transmission is a weak arrow, and the three transmissions are all official ghosts, which originally is a凶 omen. Fortunately, the first transmission sits in the kongwang place, so it is just a false alarm. Moreover, the寅 wood on the stem can resist the earth energy in the three transmissions. Although寅 drains the壬 water, it actually acts as a life-saving deity. This is exactly what the "Bi Fa Fu" says: although many ghosts are apparent, they are all not to be feared.

斷曰：蒿矢之課，又係驀越，本力弱難傷，況落空鄉。凡事驀然而起，始如雷吼，終卻無妨。為憂為喜，皆主不實。稼穡沉滯，又晝占干支，陰陽在天乙後，為微服格。常人退守為吉，仕宦前進則榮。

This divination lesson belongs to the category of "Moyue", where the power of remote influence is inherently weak and not harmful. Moreover, it falls in the position of Kongwang, which further weakens its effect. Events come suddenly, initially like a thunderclap, but in the end cause no actual harm. Whether it is sorrow or joy, it is not genuine. The earth element of cultivated land and soil indicates stagnation and blockage. When casting the divination during the day, both the yin and yang spirits of the day stem and day branch are positioned after Tianyi Guiren, forming the pattern of "micro disguise". For ordinary people, retreating is auspicious, but for officials, advancing is advisable, leading to honor and prominence.

天時：三傳剋日，角星指陰，主雨。家宅：防有失脫孝服之事。功名：墓空純官，現任大利；蒿矢卦，未任者費力。求財：財帶丁神必得。婚姻：支上逢空，不吉。胎產：孕主女，產有厄。疾病：脾病難痊，新疾可治。逃盜：賊匿西北樓臺林木中，其形有鬍鬚，捕之即獲。出行：不吉。行人：蒿矢課，未能即回。兵戰：利客不利主。

Heavenly Time: All three transmissions come to afflict the day stem, and the horn mansion points to the yin position, indicating rain. Home: Be cautious of losing property and mourning events. Official Rank: The tomb god falls into an empty position while the three transmissions are all official stars, which is very beneficial for current officials; however, the蒿矢 force is weak, so those who have not yet obtained an official position will have to exert more effort. Seeking Wealth: The wealth爻 carries the Ding god, so the wealth is certain to be obtained. Marriage: The god on the day branch falls into an empty position, which is not auspicious. Pregnancy: The fetus is female, and there will be difficulties in childbirth. Disease: Spleen disease is difficult to recover from, but new diseases can still be treated. Escape and Robbery: The thief is hiding in the northwest in a building or among trees, with a beard, and can be captured if pursued. Travel: Not auspicious. Traveler: The蒿矢 force is weak, so those who have gone out will not return soon. Warfare: Advantageous for the guest side, not for the host side.

畢法云：干墓並關人宅廢(春占)，鬼臨三四訟災隨，水日逢丁財動之。袖中金云：壬日稼穡為脫難煞，蓋物極則變，變則通，久厄者，反有解散之意。常占則名鯨鯢歸澗，凡事逼迫，不由自己，遇雷神方能變化。雷神者，太沖六合也。

Three passages from the "Bifa Fu" apply to this divination: when the day stem's墓 (burial) and 关煞 (obstruction) appear together, people and houses are both ruined (this refers to divination in spring); when official ghosts appear in the third and fourth lessons, disputes and calamities follow; when a water day meets 丁 (Ding), wealth moves. The "Xiu Zhong Jin" states that on a壬 (Ren) day, if the稼穑 (cultivation) earth pattern is formed, it is called "Tuo Nan Sha" (difficulties removed), because when things reach their extreme, they must reverse, and when reversal reaches its extreme, it becomes smooth. For those who have been suffering for a long time, there is a sign of relief. If it is a normal divination, it is called "Jing Ni Gui Jian" (a large fish trapped in a small stream), meaning that all things are forced and not under one's control, and change can only come when the thunder god arrives; the thunder god refers to Taichong (Mao) (Mao) and Liu He (Liu He).

課體：重審，勵德，間傳，向三陽。課義：四課初中，總是旬空，獨存末克，鬼戶縱橫。

The lesson pattern is characterized by re-examination and encouragement of virtue, and also involves 'intermediate transmission' (the three transmissions are spaced apart) and 'three yang' (moving from Zi through Yin to Chen, gradually transitioning from yin to yang). The lesson meaning states: all four lessons and the first and middle transmissions fall within the旬空, leaving only the final transmission's Chen to overcome the day. Chen is the Tiangang, which effectively seals the ghost's entrance, thereby allowing free movement without obstruction.

解曰：子丑旬空，寅卯陷空，四課皆空。初傳子，中傳寅，又遇空脫，凡事無蹤。獨存末傳之辰，雖作壬干之墓鬼，卻喜罡塞鬼戶。六神伏，四煞潛，任意謀為，無所阻礙，故曰鬼戶縱橫也。

In this旬, the branches Zi and Chou are empty, and Yin and Mao are also lost in emptiness, making the four lessons entirely empty. The first transmission falls on Zi, and the middle transmission on Yin, both of which are in empty positions and indicate loss and leakage, meaning nothing is settled. Only the final transmission, Chen, remains. Although Chen is the tomb of Ren and also the official ghost, it is fortunate that Tiangang Chen is directly blocking the ghost gate. The six spirits are hidden, the four evils are stored away, so one can freely plan without obstruction. Therefore, it is said that the ghost gate is under my control.

斷曰：重審之卦，事多不順，況勵德為動搖之象。幸鬼加干而值空，墓在傳而支破。且面前六合，又三傳間傳為向三陽格。自暗入明，主先凶後吉，人情皆美。若秋冬占之，休囚之土，不能賊生旺之水，雖有犯上之象，終難遂其犯上之心。微嫌傳課陷空，虛聲勝而實際少耳。

The divination shows that matters are complicated and not smooth, and the base of virtue contains an element of instability. Fortunately, although the official ghost is added to the day stem, it is exactly in the旬空, and the tomb god, though entering the three transmissions, is broken by the day branch. Also, theLiu He is present, and the three transmissions are separated, forming the pattern of three yang, moving from darkness to light, indicating that the situation will start with misfortune and end with good fortune, with harmonious interpersonal relations. If this divination is taken in autumn or winter, the earth element is weak and confined, unable to overcome the prosperous and strong water element. Even if there are signs of rebellion, the intention to rebel will not be fulfilled. However, the transmissions of the divination are mostly in theKongwang, leading to a situation where there is an excess of empty reputation but insufficient actual benefits.

天時：向三陽主晴。家宅：四課初中俱空，獨存墓神，屢空之象，且有病訟盜賊之虞。功名：不利。求財：無益。婚姻：干支上神六合，可結，但空陷不成。胎產：三傳純陽，女孕。子母皆空，恐有產厄。疾病：病在腎家及膀胱經，初起可愈，久病凶。逃盜：宅中武空，難獲。出行：未必果行，行亦虛名虛利。行人：立至。兵戰：罡塞鬼戶，多算則勝。

Heavenly Conditions: The direction is towards three yangs turning from yin to yang, indicating clear weather. Family Residence: All four lessons and the first and middle transmissions fall into empty positions, with only one tomb god remaining, indicating repeated shortages in the household, and worries about illness, lawsuits, and theft. Achievements: Unfavorable. Seeking Wealth: No gain. Marriage: The day stem's heavenly ruler and the day branch's heavenly ruler form the Six Harmonies, which could lead to a union, but because they fall into an empty and weak position, the marriage cannot be realized. Pregnancy: All three transmissions are yang branches, indicating the fetus is female; both mother and child fall into empty positions, suggesting possible difficulties in childbirth. Illness: The illness affects the kidney and bladder meridians. The illness can be cured in its early stage, but if prolonged, it will be dangerous. Fugitives and Theft: The Black Tortoise on the house falls into an empty position, making it difficult to recover stolen property. Travel: The journey may not actually take place, or if it does, there will be only empty fame and profit. Travelers: Those who have left will arrive immediately. Warfare: The Tiangang blocks the ghost's entrance, so with careful planning, victory can be achieved.

畢法云：罡塞鬼戶任謀為。斷驗：午命戊戌八月辰加寅占投謁，曰：賓主甚合，但虛文勝而實意少，以支干上神空相合也。年命上馬帶六合，若投尊長親戚，大好。然鬼作死氣，乘常加干，恐有外來孝服，後俱驗。

The *Bifa Fu* says that when Tiangang blocks the Ghost Gate, one may proceed boldly with plans. A case from *Duanyan Ji* is as follows: A person whose birth year is Wu (午) sought divination on a Wuxu day in the eighth lunar month, with the time of divination being the hour of Yin (辰) added to Yin (寅). The divination concluded that the host and guest would be very compatible, but there would be much empty ceremony and little genuine intention, because although the spirits on the day stem and day branch are in harmony, they both fall into the empty position. The person's birth year has the Post-horse and carries Liu He. If he goes to visit a superior or relative, it would be best. However, the official ghost is located on the Death Qi, and it is riding on Tai Chang and added to the day stem, so there is a possibility of receiving mourning clothes from outside. Later, all these predictions came true.

課體：重審，進茹，亂首，不備，三奇。課義：不尊其身，就卑克治，晝將天空，三傳俱棄。

The lesson pattern is characterized by re-examination, "Jin Ru" (three transmissions resembling pulling up herbs by their roots, advancing step by step), disorderly beginning, incompleteness, and the three marvels. The lesson meaning states: the day stem does not respect itself, humbly submitting to a lower position and being subdued; when the lesson is cast in the daytime, the sky is above it, and the three transmissions all fall into emptiness, equivalent to being entirely discarded and unused.

解曰：干往加支，被支所克，是不自尊重，屈身於人，甘受抑勒。干上及中末皆是旬空，初及支上，晝將上乘天空，所謂空空如也，凡事總屬虛無。

The day stem goes to join the day branch, only to be overcome by it, which indicates a lack of self-respect and a willingness to submit to others, being controlled by them. The heavenly stem above the day stem, along with the middle and final transmissions, all fall into the旬空, meaning they are empty. In a daytime divination, the initial transmission and the heavenly stem above the day branch are also occupied by the Tian Kong, a deceptive spirit. This is exactly what is meant by emptiness and nothingness, with all matters turning out to be void.

斷曰：三奇之卦，本主災散福臨，奈中末空亡，奇精有損，福當減論。況干支上乘羅網，乃阻厄不通之象。四課又陰不備，必有偏缺不周之處，凡占未為全吉。

The Three Marvels indicate the dispersal of calamities and the arrival of good fortune, but since both the Middle Transmission and the Final Transmission fall into Kongwang, the essence of the Three Marvels is lacking, and the good fortune should be considered with some reduction. Additionally, the Day Stem and Day Branch are occupied by Tian Luo and Di Wang, indicating obstruction and difficulty, with communication blocked above and below. Moreover, the Four Lessons are incomplete in their yin aspects, meaning the matter will certainly have some deficiencies and lack comprehensiveness. Therefore, this divination is not entirely auspicious.

天時：坎臨日辰，亥又發用，主雨。家宅：網加宅，刃臨身，不吉。功名：三奇大吉，若得年命，或歲月太陽填實空亡，更的。求財：日辰網羅，財又不入課傳，無得。婚姻：卦遇三奇，甚吉；牛女會合，必成。

Heavenly Time: Kan represents water, and Kan is positioned over the day branch, with亥 water also initiating the transmission, indicating rain. Family Residence: A net is placed over the residence, with the Yangren affecting the self, which is not auspicious. Achievements: The Three Marvels and Daji (Chou) are very auspicious; if the original birth year, or the Tai sui, month builder, and sun fill the Kongwang, it becomes even more accurate. Seeking Wealth: The day branch is trapped by a net, and the wealth爻 does not enter the lesson transmission, resulting in no gain. Marriage: The hexagram encounters the Three Marvels, which is very auspicious; the meeting of the Ox and the Weaver Girl indicates that the marriage will certainly succeed.

胎產：孕主男，恐不育。疾病：心經受傷，或腎與膀胱二經之症，新病不成，久則即壞。出行：傳課多空，有虛名，無實利，宜走水路。行人：巳日當有信。爭訟：主解散。兵戰：以奇兵攻其不備而勝。

Conception and childbirth: The fetus is male, but fear that it may not grow up strong. Disease: Injury to the heart meridian, or illness of the kidney and bladder meridians. New diseases may not cause serious harm, but over time they will worsen. Travel: The transmitted elements in the divination often fall into kongwang, resulting in only empty reputation and no real benefit. When traveling, it is better to go by water. A person on the way: There will be news on the day of si. Dispute: The lawsuit is likely to be resolved through mediation. Warfare: It is advisable to use surprise tactics to attack the enemy's unprepared forces and achieve victory.

畢法云：所謀多拙逢羅網，尊崇傳內遇三奇，權攝不正祿臨支，空空如也事休追。指掌賦云：日臨辰而受克為亂首。六任會通云：德旺祿旺爵祿榮，鬼神眾保得功名。百問訣云：亥子丑在支入傳，宅外剛逢水道邊。占式云：凡元武臨辰戌亥，必有失脫，謂元武入賊鄉也。

The Four Provisions of the "Bi Fa Fu" apply to this divination: encountering the Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap indicates that most plans will be clumsy and ineffective; if the Three Marvels appear within the three transmissions, it signifies a high and esteemed position; if the禄神 (Lushen, Official Star) is located in the Day Branch, it suggests holding an interim position with an improper status; if the transmission is empty and void, there is no need to pursue the matter further. The "Zhi Zhang Fu" states that when the Day Stem is located on the Day Branch and is overcome by it, it is called "Disorder at the Beginning." The "Liu Ren Hui Tong" says that if both the Day Virtue and the Lushen are strong, it indicates a prosperous and honorable status, with many spirits coming to protect, leading to success and fame. The "Bai Wen Jue" mentions that if the亥 (Hai), 子 (Zi), and 丑 (Chou) fall into the Day Branch and also appear in the three transmissions, the house is located outside near a water channel. The "Zhan Shi" states that whenever the Yuan Wu (Black Tortoise) is located in the辰 (Chen), 戌 (Xu), or 亥 (Hai), there will certainly be losses or omissions, because the Yuan Wu has entered the thief's den.

課體：伏吟，稼穡，勵德。課義：略得便宜，如若再為，人神共怒，刑廢雙隨。

The lesson pattern is a combination of the Hidden Chant, Harvesting and Cultivating, and Encouraging Virtue. The lesson meaning states: initially gaining some advantage, but if greed continues and another move is made, it will provoke the anger of both humans and spirits, leading to punishment and disgrace at the same time. This is because the three transmissions involve the earthly branches You, Xu, and Wei, which mutually accuse and harm each other. Gaining advantage once is enough, and one should stop there.

解曰：自干發用，恃己之勢，刑于他人，既得便宜矣。然得利者不可再往，若貪而不止，則便惹起眾鬼，刑禍並侵，有不人神共恕乎。

The first transmission is taken from the day stem, representing using one's own strength to oppress others. Initially, this brings advantage. However, once benefit is obtained, one should stop. If greed continues and moves forward, it will disturb many official ghosts in the three transmissions, leading to punishment and calamity coming together. At that time, would people and spirits still forgive?

斷曰：伏吟之卦，伏而不動，格合稼穡，沉滯艱難。然而物極則變，有久困而亨之象。三傳俱鬼，白虎在中，仕宦占之，則為催官符至。若常人占之，必須加意謹慎，猶不免於病訟也。

Hidden Chant divination shows the hidden power not moving, and it coincides with the earth element of farming and cultivation, indicating that affairs are stagnant and difficult. However, when extremes are reached, they inevitably reverse, meaning that after a long period of hardship, success will eventually come. All three transmissions are official ghosts, with the White Tiger sitting in the middle transmission. If a government official divines this, it suggests that official documents for promotion will arrive soon. If an ordinary person divines this, they must be especially cautious, as they are still likely to face illness or legal troubles.

天時：傳課多陰，陰雨之象。家宅：三傳全無和氣，遞刑剋干，防有疾病官非。功名：官星甚旺，大吉。求財：艱難。婚姻：不吉。胎產：胎上神屬陽，主男。疾病：脾土作惡，或腎水受虧，支實干空，甚凶。出行：不利。行人：即至。失脫：物不出戶，可尋。兵戰：宜守不宜戰。墳葬：刑煞太重，主有病訟之侵。

Heavenly conditions: The divination and three transmissions mostly consist of yin branches, with continuous yin clouds, indicating rain. Family residence: There is no harmony among the three transmissions, with successive punishments and restrictions on the day stem, so beware of illness and legal troubles. Official rank: The official star is extremely strong, which is very auspicious. Seeking wealth: Difficult and hard to obtain. Marriage: There are many punishments and restrictions, which is not auspicious. Pregnancy: The spirit of the fetus is yang, so the child is male. Illness: The spleen earth is causing trouble, or the kidney water is deficient; since the day branch is strong but the day stem is empty, the illness is very serious. Traveling: Unfavorable. Traveler: The person who has left will arrive soon. Lost items: The items have not left, and they can still be recovered. Military conflict: It is better to hold firm and not to fight. Burial: There is too much punishment and evil, so after burial, there will be illness and legal disputes coming in.

畢法云：虎臨干鬼凶速速，賓主不投刑在上。邵子占驗：辰命人寅年七月巳加巳占謁選，曰：稼穡必守土之官也，干支上神，格合拱祿，三傳皆官，中虎為催官符至。且兩貴拱命，上乘喜神，行年又帶天馬，與日祿青龍相會。謂之蛟龍得雨，天馬騰空，子月必選，祿臨女分，當在北方，皆驗。

Two passages from the "Bi Fa Fu" apply to this divination: the White Tiger is adjacent to the day stem's ghost, indicating that misfortune comes quickly; the host and guest are not in harmony because the upper god mutually harms each other. A case recorded by Shao Kangjie: a person born in the year of Chen, who divined for an official position in the year of Yin, seventh month, at the time of Si added to Si, was predicted to have a farming and cultivation earth pattern, indicating a position related to guarding the land; the day stem and day branch combined with the upper god formed a harmonious禄 pattern, and all three transmissions were official stars, with the middle transmission being the White Tiger, which is the official document arriving. Additionally, the day and night noble stars embraced the birth year, with the upper part having the auspicious god, and the year of travel also carrying the Heavenly Horse, meeting with the day's禄 and Azure Dragon, called "Jiao Long De Yu, Tian Ma Teng Kong" (Dragon gets rain, Heavenly Horse soars), and by the month of Zi, he would be selected; the禄 god was located in the territory of the Female Mansion, indicating the official post would be in the north. All these predictions were fulfilled later.

課體：元首，退茹，斬關。課義：幸乘旺祿，棄尋虎厄，投末之生，失萬得百。

The lesson pattern is Yuan Shou, Tui Ru, Zhan Guan. The lesson meaning says: the day stem is on the fortunate position with the prosperous禄神 (LU Shen) of Zi water, but it falls into an empty position, so it must abandon it and seek another initiating transmission. On the way, it encounters misfortune brought by the White Tiger; it continues to retreat until the final transmission, where it finds the place of growth. Although it eventually gains something, it is a loss of ten thousand for a gain of one hundred.

解曰：旺祿臨干，卻遇旬空。棄之而尋發用，則戌鬼乘虎，眈眈難犯。進歷中傳，又屬敗氣。再投末傳，方遇長生。真受盡艱辛，末後一步，乃得榮昌。然晝占復被元武所耗，是所得者少而所失者多也，故曰失萬得百。

The strong禄神 of water, which is the Zi branch, though approaching the day stem, is actually in the旬空. So we ignore it and look at the initiating transmission. The first transmission is the戌 branch, which is the official ghost of癸 water, and it is occupied by the White Tiger, which watches intently and is difficult to approach. Moving forward to the middle transmission, the酉 branch is in a state of decline. Continuing to the final transmission, the申 branch finally meets the long life of癸 water. It has been through much hardship, only to reach prosperity at the last step. However, when the divination was cast in the daytime, it was consumed by the Black Tortoise, resulting in little gain and much loss. Therefore, losing ten thousand brings back only a hundred.

斷曰：斬關之課，雖有動象，而魁度天門，未免阻隔。況退連茹為失友格，凡事孟行不行，人情欠美。幸元首一上克下，猶為順征，占主先凶後吉。

Although the cutting gate divination shows signs of action, the Hekui in Xu is positioned over the heavenly gate at亥, indicating obstacles ahead. Moreover, the three transmissions are connected and retreat, forming the pattern of 'losing friends.' Acting too hastily will result in failure, and interpersonal relations will not be harmonious. Fortunately, in the head lesson, there is only one instance where the upper god overpowers the lower god, which still indicates smoothness. Therefore, the prediction is that it will first be unfavorable and then favorable.

天時：水坐空鄉，主晴。家宅：虎乘干鬼，克身克宅，災禍重重。功名：催官使者發用，甚吉。求財：夜占青龍乘長生，有望。婚姻：不吉。胎產：孕主女，產有驚險。疾病：難治。爭訟：用神上克下，先起者勝。逃盜：男子東南方尋，女子西南方尋，奴婢當自歸。出行：旺祿臨干，宜靜不宜動。行人：河魁帶虎，克干入宅，即至。兵戰：宜謹守。

Heavenly Conditions: The water deity sits in the Kongwang area, indicating clear weather. Family Residence: The White Tiger rides on the Day Stem's official ghost, which both harms the person and the residence, leading to many misfortunes. Official Rank: The official messenger is taken as the first transmission, which is very auspicious. Seeking Wealth: When divining at night, the Azure Dragon is on the Growth position, indicating hope. Marriage: Not auspicious. Pregnancy: The fetus is female, and childbirth will be dangerous. Illness: Difficult to treat. Disputes: The initiating deity is superior overcoming inferior, so the party who initiates the lawsuit will win. Fugitives and Theft: The missing man should be searched in the Southeast direction, the missing woman in the Southwest direction, and the servants will return on their own. Travel: Although the prosperous official is present on the Day Stem, it falls in Kongwang, so it is advisable to stay still rather than move. Travelers: Hekui戌 brings the White Tiger to overcome the Day Stem and enter the residence, and the person will arrive soon. Military Conflict: It is advisable to be cautious and defensive.

畢法云：魁度天門關隔定，旺祿臨身徒妄作。古鑑：丙午生人卯加辰占六畜，曰：戌加亥作虎，是犬入豬欄，豬小似犬。牛臨虎位，自是傷鄉。緣山有石棺，枯骨作祟，六畜皆不能存，五年後必傷人。蓋緣戌數五，秋占又為天目，且戌為火命人之墓，乘虎臨支克干，故有伏尸作祟也。

Two lines from the "Bi Fa Fu" apply to this divination: Hekui crosses the heavenly gate, and the separation has already become fixed; a prosperous and noble stem is present on the person's body but falls into Kongwang, so any reckless action is in vain. The "Gu Jian" records a case: a person born in the year Bingwu, at the time of the卯 (Mao) added to the辰 (Chen) hour, divined about livestock, and it was predicted that the戌 (Xu) added to the亥 (Hai) would be accompanied by the White Tiger. Xu belongs to the dog, Hai belongs to the pig, so it is like a dog entering a pigpen, and the pig is small as a dog. The丑 (Chou) ox is placed at the position of寅 (Yin) tiger, which is already a place of injury. This family's mountain has a stone coffin buried, with dry bones causing disturbances, and they cannot raise any livestock. In five years, people will still be harmed. This is because the Xu has the number five, and the divination was made in autumn, which corresponds to the heavenly eye. Xu is also the storage for people of the fire destiny, and the White Tiger is on the day branch and attacks the day stem, so it was concluded that there are hidden corpses causing disturbances.

課體：遙克，蒿矢，間傳，不備。課義：破敗臨宅，初鬼遙克，兩貴扶同，亡財始獲。

The lesson pattern is a type of remote control known as Hao Shi, combined with intermittent transmission and incompleteness. The lesson meaning states that the spirits representing destruction and loss are pressing upon the house, and the official ghost in the first transmission only remotely controls with limited power. However, the middle and final transmissions have noblemen assisting day and night, working together to support, so the lost money will eventually be recovered.

解曰：酉為破碎敗神，而臨干支，家必隳廢。幸初傳日鬼，遙克力輕。中末兩貴相加，乘丁遞生支上酉金育干，所以財亡復獲。

The metal of You is both a breaking-up evil spirit and a spirit of ruin and loss. Now it is present on the day stem and day branch, indicating that family affairs will surely decline. Fortunately, the first transmission, although it is the official ghost of the day stem, only exerts a distant influence and has weak power. The middle and final transmissions, when combined, add up to both daytime and nighttime dignitaries, and they ride upon the spirit of Ding, which supports the metal of You on the day branch layer by layer. The metal of You then supports the day stem, so lost money can be regained again.

斷曰：蒿矢之課，六陰相繼，行盡昏迷。喜三傳格合回明，有月缺漸回之象。吉可漸成，凶可漸散，但陰陽不備，終不完善耳。晝酉乘常，主婚姻喜孟，或開張衣食店，當茂盛。

The蒿矢 lesson combined with six consecutive yin branches in succession leads to a path of confusion and uncertainty. Fortunately, the three transmissions align with the pattern of "returning to clarity," like the moon after a waning phase gradually regaining its fullness; auspicious matters can be gradually realized, and adverse situations can gradually dissipate. However, the four lessons lack completeness in yin and yang, so the overall calculation is not fully harmonious. When casting the lesson in daylight, with the Tai Chang occupying the酉 position, it indicates matters of marriage and celebration, or the opening of shops dealing in food, clothing, and textiles, which will bring prosperity.

天時：晴。家宅：主多破敗。功名：大利。求財：可得。婚姻：甚吉。胎產：陰極陽生，孕主男，產速而安。疾病：腎虛或肝經之病，雖淹纏，可以無事。出行：丁馬作日德，利有攸往。行人：有貴人帶信至，即回。捕獲：晝在南方，夜在東方。兵戰：陰不備，利為客。

Heavenly Conditions: Clear. Family Residence: The spirit of destruction is present, indicating many losses in family affairs. Official Rank: Supported by two noblemen, this is very favorable. Seeking Wealth: Wealth can be obtained. Marriage: The Nobleman is on You, which is very auspicious. Pregnancy: When six yins reach their extreme, they turn to yang, indicating a male child, with a quick and safe delivery. Illness: Deficiency of kidney qi or illness along the liver meridian, although it may last for a long time, will not result in serious illness. Traveling: The deity Ding and the post-horse also fill the day's virtue, making it suitable to go. A Person Away: A nobleman will bring a message, and the person will return soon. Capture: During the day in the south, at night in the east. Military Conflict: The Yin lesson is incomplete, favorable for being a guest army.

畢法云：晝夜貴加求兩貴，六陰相繼盡昏迷。古鑑：甲寅生人未將酉時占家宅，曰：癸亥乃六甲極日，又是六陰相繼，家宅得此，耗力極矣。然物極則反，後必得福。現今宅中六分並居，而甲寅生人，天后門廁邊出入，來年有陰人死此，必外遷他宅，居必勝前。卻得貴家陰人之助成家，且有好子，晚年福壽無窮。其人果兄弟六人，路由廁出，次年妻死遷居。因再娶貴人之妾，致富生子，壽八十四，緣課得迎陽，中傳晝貴乘財，又是水日逢丁，所以興起家業也。

Two passages from the "Bi Fa Fu" apply to this divination: during the day and night, the nobleman appears twice, so when seeking help from others, one can entrust two noblemen at the same time; six yin branches follow each other continuously, leading to confusion and unclear situations. The "Gu Jian" records a case: a person born in the year Jiayin, when he divined the family dwelling at the You hour, it was determined that Guihai is the last day of the six jia, and also the six yin branches follow each other, indicating the family dwelling has reached the extreme of exhaustion; however, things will reverse after reaching the extreme, and eventually good fortune will come. At present, the family is divided into six branches living together, and the person born in Jiayin, whose heavenly empress is located near the entrance and the toilet, will have a female relative die there next year, and they will have to move to another house, the new residence will certainly be better than the old one; later they will also receive help from a noble lady's concubine, establish a family, and have a good son, enjoying endless blessings in old age. The person indeed had six brothers, and the path they used to enter and exit passed by the toilet. The next year his wife died, and they moved to a new house. By marrying the concubine of a nobleman, they became wealthy and had a son, living to the age of eighty-four. This is because the divination shows a welcoming yang image, the middle transmission has the day nobleman and the wealth爻, and also the water day meets ding, so the family business was able to flourish.

課體：元胎，斬關。課義：鬼龍生虎，怒喜喜怒，晝貴升擢，丁馬之故。

The lesson pattern is a combination of the original form and the cutting gate. The lesson meaning states: the official ghost is on the戌 position with the azure dragon, while the long life is on the申 position with the white tiger. One side is pleasant, the other is alarming; there is sudden anger and joy, and sudden joy and anger. If the day general is used, then the nobleman initiates the transmission, accompanied by the ding spirit and the post-horse, indicating promotion and being recommended for a higher position.

解曰：戌鬼臨干，夜卻乘龍。長生在支，夜卻乘虎。一則以喜，一則以懼，此怒喜喜怒之謂也。如用晝將，貴人發用，上乘丁馬，三傳遞生，必隔二隔三上人推薦，升擢官職。

The branch 戌 is the official ghost of癸 water, positioned on the day stem, but during a night divination it is accompanied by the auspicious general Azure Dragon. The branch 申 is the long life of癸 water, located on the day branch, yet during a night divination it is accompanied by the ominous White Tiger. This creates a situation that is both pleasing and alarming, representing a fluctuation between anger and joy, or joy and anger. If instead the day is considered as a daytime divination, the nobleman 天乙 would be used as the initiating transmission, with the deity 丁 and the post-horse The Post-horse above it, and the three transmissions would be in successive generation, inevitably leading to a recommendation from an official of higher rank after a few layers of connection, resulting in an official promotion.

斷曰：元胎之卦，生意初萌，斬關之課，機關孟動。況巳加申，寅加巳，亥加寅，為進步長生，自末迤邐生用，作日干之貴人德神，占者事皆創始，驀然而興。

The Yuan Tai lesson is like the initial sprouting of life, while the Zhan Guan lesson is like mechanisms acting first. Moreover, the combinations of巳 adding to申, 寅 adding to巳, and 亥 adding to寅 proceed step by step upon the Long Sheng position. Starting from the final transmission, they gradually generate and reach the initiating transmission, serving as both the nobleman and the virtue deity for the day stem. Matters under such an influence are in their initial stages and will suddenly flourish.

天時：天罡指陰，龍虎克日，主風雨。家宅：人宅平安。功名：貴人乘馬，作德發用，自末傳遞生干上之青龍官星，大吉。求財：財爻作馬發用，又水日逢丁，必大得意。婚姻：干支上神相生，又三傳遞生，必成而吉。

Heavenly circumstances: The Tiangang points to a yin position, and the Azure Dragon and White Tiger both come to overcome the day stem, indicating wind, rain and storms. Family residence: The people in the household and the dwelling are all safe and sound. Achievements: The Nobleman rides the Post-horse, acts as the day virtue, and initiates the transmission, moving from the final transmission to the day stem through the Azure Dragon official star, which is very auspicious. Seeking wealth: The wealth爻 carries the Post-horse and initiates the transmission, and also meets the water day with Ding, which certainly brings great satisfaction. Marriage: The day stem and day branch have harmonious relations, and the three transmissions also generate one after another, ensuring a successful and auspicious marriage.

胎產：卦名病胎，懷胎有憂，產則吉。疾病：淹纏遲愈。爭訟：虎鬼臨頭，猝難解散。出行：馬帶德，利無咎，且得貴人之濟。行人：立至。捕獲：夜占末乘勾陳，西方可獲。兵戰：大宜謹慎。

This divination is called "Disease in the Womb." There is worry during pregnancy, but delivery will be auspicious. For illness: the condition persists for a long time and recovery is slow. For disputes: the White Tiger brings the official ghost upon the head, making it difficult to resolve quickly. For travel: the post-horse accompanies the sun and virtue, so traveling will not result in mistakes and one will receive assistance from a nobleman. For a traveler: he will arrive immediately. For capturing someone: when divining at night, the final transmission is accompanied by Gou Chen, so going west will result in capture. For warfare: extreme caution is required.

畢法云：虎臨干鬼凶速速，水日逢丁財動之。袖中金云：巳加申為病胎，又名怕課，蓋胎孕有病，不得不怕，亦身喜心憂之象。指迷賦云：虎克支兮宅禍難。雜占云：日財臨支兩課，名外財入內，圖謀遂意。玉成歌云：德神動處吉相隨，巳亥貴臨多反覆。三才賦云：白虎同傳送臨門，須防疾病。

The "Bifa Fu" mentions two lines that apply to this divination: the White Tiger is adjacent to the day stem's ghost, which indicates sudden misfortune; on a water day encountering the Ding (丁) indicates movement of wealth. The "Xiu Zhong Jin" states that when the巳 (Si) is added to the申 (Shen), it is called "Bing Tai" (diseased fetus), also known as a "Pa Ke" (fearful chart), because the fetus is diseased and thus one must be afraid; it also represents being in a favorable situation but feeling anxious inside. The "Zhi Mi Fu" says that the White Tiger conquers the day branch, indicating misfortune at home. The "Za Zhan" states that when the day stem's wealth爻 (yao) is located on the day branch's two lessons, it is called "Wai Cai Ru Nei" (external wealth entering internally), and plans can be fulfilled as desired. The "Yucheng Ge" states that where the day virtue (de) is activated, auspicious events follow; if the巳 (Si) or亥 (Hai) is occupied by the Nobleman (Gui Ren), there will be many reversals. The "San Cai Fu" states that when the White Tiger and theChuansong (Shen) (Chuansong, Shen) are both at the gate, one must beware of illness.
