Three emissions.

以六爻震巽宮木財為用，旺髮多，衰髮少，木髮長，金沙髮，水白髮，土髮短，戌土髮稀。六爻與初二爻合，髮長垂地。臨雀者赤，臨武者黑，臨虎者白。少年則髮剛硬，臨勾者黃，臨龍者滋潤整齊，臨蛇者捲曲而蓬鬆也。

Using the sixth line's Zhen and Xun trigrams, which represent wood and wealth, as the useful god. If the wood wealth is prosperous and strong, the hair is thick; if weak, the hair is sparse. Hair grows long if it belongs to wood, like fine sand if it belongs to metal, turns white early if it belongs to water, and is short if it belongs to earth, especially if it is Xu earth, which indicates sparse hair. If the sixth line harmonizes with the first and second lines, the hair grows long enough to reach the ground. If the line is adjacent to Zhu Que, the hair is red; if adjacent to Xuan Wu, the hair is black; if adjacent to Bai Hu, the hair is white. For young people, the hair is hard. If adjacent to Gou Chen, the hair is yellow; if adjacent to Qing Long, the hair is smooth and neat; if adjacent to Teng She, the hair is curly and fluffy.

以五爻父母為用，乾面圓，坤面方，臨寅申巳亥，面尖。臨子午卯酉，面圓。臨辰戌丑未面方厚。父面大，財面秀美，子面福相，兄鬼面丑劣，或破相麻痣。水浮腫，金瘦骨臉，火尖削枯燥，土豐額高準，木面青長。鬼加蛇，面多皺紋，玄鬼，面有黑斑痣，火鬼動逢合，面有疤絆，卯鬼動，面主麻也。

Using the fifth line's parents'爻 as the useful god, the trigram Qian indicates a round face, and the trigram Kun indicates a square face. If the trigram is located on寅, 申, 巳, or 亥, the face is pointed. If it is on子, 午, 卯, or 酉, the face is round. If it is on辰, 戌, 丑, or 未, the face is square and thick. The parents'爻 indicates a large face, theWealth indicates a beautiful appearance, theChildren indicates a face with a fortunate look, and theSiblings and Official Ghost indicate an ugly appearance or broken features and black spots or moles. A face belonging to water is swollen, a face belonging to metal is thin and bony, a face belonging to fire is pointed and dry, a face belonging to earth has a full forehead and a high nose, and a face belonging to wood has a greenish color and a narrow, elongated face. If theOfficial Ghost is combined with Teng Snake, there are many wrinkles on the face. If theBlack Tortoise is theOfficial Ghost, there are black spots or moles on the face. If the fireOfficial Ghost is activated and meets a harmonious trigram, there are scars on the face. If the卯 woodOfficial Ghost is activated, there are pimples on the face.

以五爻為用，龍貌膩潤，虎粗丑，勾侷促，眉目攢聚。雀帶笑容，逢沖，則疾言遽色。武帶憂容，受刑剋，必是哭形。凡帶騰蛇者，相必古怪，以來沖者斷之。武來沖，地角尖，雀來沖，眼必露，龍沖，左耳異常，虎沖，右耳異常，勾沖鼻古怪。如無沖，即以五行斷之，水為口，火為目，木左耳，金右耳，土為鼻是也。

Determining appearance relies on the fifth line as the useful god. If the fifth line is associated with the Azure Dragon, the face is delicate and moist. If associated with the White Tiger, the appearance is coarse and ugly. If associated with Gou Chen, the facial features are cramped, with eyebrows and eyes close together. If associated with the Vermilion Bird, the person usually smiles. If there is a conflict, they tend to speak quickly and have a changeable expression. If associated with the Black Tortoise, the person usually looks worried. If the line is harmed or restrained, they will definitely look sad. If the line is associated with the Snake, the appearance is definitely strange. The specific strangeness depends on which deity conflicts with it: if the Black Tortoise conflicts, the chin is pointed; if the Vermilion Bird conflicts, the eyes are prominent; if the Azure Dragon conflicts, the left ear is unusual; if the White Tiger conflicts, the right ear is unusual; if Gou Chen conflicts, the nose is peculiar. If there is no conflicting line, then determine based on the Five Phases: water indicates the mouth, fire indicates the eyes, wood indicates the left ear, metal indicates the right ear, and earth indicates the nose.

又如五爻不臨蛇，而蛇動來沖剋五爻者，則以五類斷之。加兄，項必結喉，加父，面有麻痣，加財，兩髮蓬鬆，髮捲曲，加鬼，必麻或有破相，加福，耳目口鼻破相，亦以水口火目，土鼻，金右耳，木左耳分之。

For example, if the fifth line is not occupied by the snake (Tengshe), but the snake is activated and comes to clash and control the fifth line, then it should be interpreted according to the five categories of the six relations: if the snake is added to siblings, there will certainly be a prominent lump on the neck; if added to parents, there will be freckles or black moles on the face; if added to wealth, the hair on both temples will be thick and curly; if added to official ghost, there will certainly be acne or a disfigured face; if added to children, there will be a disfigurement in the ear, eye, mouth, or nose. To determine exactly where the disfigurement occurs, one should still distinguish based on water representing the mouth, fire representing the eye, earth representing the nose, metal representing the right ear, and wood representing the left ear.

以五爻離宮火福為用，臨龍，睛點漆黑。臨虎，或虎旺動來克，必白眼。臨勾雀，眼突出。臨武淚眼。臨龍武而被虎沖剋，眸子中有白點。臨蛇必害眼，蛇衰，乃鼠眼，衰蛇加鬼，或蛇鬼動來沖合五爻，是吊眼，逢月日沖，睛轉不定，動又逢沖，是頻睫眼。

Using the fifth line, which is the fire line of the Li trigram (Fire), as the useful god for the eyes, if it is accompanied by the Azure Dragon, the eyes will be black like they have been painted with lacquer. If it is accompanied by the White Tiger, or if the White Tiger is prosperous and strong and comes to control it, the eyes will have many white parts and little black pupil. If it is accompanied by Gou Chen or Vermilion Bird, the eyes will protrude. If it is accompanied by Black Tortoise, the eyes will often be tearful. If it is accompanied by Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise, and is controlled by White Tiger, there will be a white spot in the pupil. If it is accompanied by the Snake, there will be eye disease. A weak Snake indicates small mouse-like eyes. A weak Snake combined with Official Ghost, or if the Snake and Official Ghost come to control or harmonize with the fifth line, it indicates a downward-looking eye. If it meets the Month Builder or Day Branch in conflict, the pupil will move unpredictably. If the line is activated and also meets conflict, it indicates frequent blinking.

離宮，火鬼，帶刑害動來傷土，主瞎。木主花，或吊眼。金主眇，水主爛，火主露，或赤眼，旺空，一目帶疾，衰空，或合性，微小近視。火旺動，目光如電，金鬼動，主帶疾，鬼帶月盲殺動，亦帶疾也。

The fire line of the Li trigram, representing fire, with the official ghost爻 associated with punishment and harm, if activated, comes to injure the earth line, indicating blindness in both eyes. If it belongs to wood, it indicates eye strain or a downward-slanting eye shape; if it belongs to metal, it indicates loss of sight in one eye; if it belongs to water, it indicates inflammation around the eyes; if it belongs to fire, it indicates protruding or red and bloodshot eyes. If the line is strong and falls into an empty position, it indicates a problem with one eye; if the line is weak and falls into an empty position or is restrained by a combination, it indicates small and nearsighted eyes. If the fire line is prosperous and activated, the eyes are bright and sharp like lightning; if the metal official ghost line is activated, it indicates eye disease; if the official ghost with the month-blindness evil spirit is activated, it also indicates eye problems.

以五爻坎宮子孫為用，木聾左耳，金虎右耳也。土鬼帶刑害動，或勾蛇動來合住者，耳必聾，旺空，一邊疾，金鬼，耳響，水鬼，耳出膿，金木化水鬼，亦流膿。木鬼，陽則耳癢，陰則耳痛。火鬼，耳生瘡，加白虎，帶刑害者，耳必缺，鬼帶雲聾殺動者，耳聾。

Using the fifth line of the Kan trigram as the useful god, if it belongs to wood, it indicates deafness in the left ear; if it belongs to metal and is accompanied by the White Tiger, it indicates deafness in the right ear. If the earth trigram official ghost is accompanied by punishment and harm and becomes active, or if Gou Chen or Teng Sha becomes active and combines with it, the ears will definitely lose their hearing. If the line is strong but falls into vacancy, only one ear will be affected. If the metal trigram official ghost is present, it indicates ringing in the ears; if the water trigram official ghost is present, it indicates discharge of pus from the ears. If a metal or wood trigram official ghost transforms into a water trigram ghost, it also indicates discharge of pus. If the wood trigram official ghost is on a yang line, it indicates itching in the ears; if on a yin line, it indicates pain in the ears. If the fire trigram official ghost is present, it indicates sores in the ears; if accompanied by the White Tiger and punishment and harm, there will be damage to the ears. If the official ghost is accompanied by the deafness evil spirit and becomes active, it indicates deafness.

以五爻艮宮土福為用，旺大，休小，化金木有氣，鼻息如雷。化水多鼻涕，化土鬼，帶刑害，鼻塌。化火鬼，有鼻衂疾。化木財，多毫毛。

Using the fifth line of the Gen trigram (Earth) as the useful god, which represents the nose. If the line is prosperous and strong, the nose is large; if weak and confined, the nose is small. If the line changes into a metal or wood line with strength, the nose breathes heavily like thunder. If it changes into a water line, there is much nasal discharge. If it changes into an earth line with official ghost and punishment and harm, the nose bridge is collapsed. If it changes into a fire line with official ghost, there is a tendency to nosebleed. If it changes into a wood line with wealth, there are many hairs growing inside the nose.

以五爻兌宮土福動合四爻者，為用。旺相深，休囚淺。龍深，虎淺，蛇勾短，雀赤，武黑，或鼻氣濡溼也。

To determine the person's philtrum, we look at the fifth line of the兑 (Lake) trigram, which is the earth element and represents the children. When this line is activated and combines with the fourth line, it becomes the useful god. If the line is prosperous and strong, the philtrum is deep; if weak and confined, it is shallow. If it is accompanied by the Azure Dragon, the philtrum is deep; if by the White Tiger, it is shallow; if by the腾蛇 (Coiling Snake) or勾陈 (Gou Chen), it is short. If accompanied by the Vermilion Bird, the color is red; if by the Black Tortoise, the color is black, or the person's breath is moist, and the philtrum often has a damp appearance.

以五爻兌宮水福為用。乾口圓，坤口方，兌宮丑未鬼，帶刑害動，陰則結舌，縮舌。陽則齲齒，缺唇。化金露齒，化木多須。陽土逢沖，掀唇。陰土逢沖，好談笑。臨勾遇合，懶言語。臨雀旺空，多誑語。化財，飲食粗。財遇沖，飲食速。遇合，飲食緩。財加龍貴，愛食嘉旨。水財蛇沖，必如豬食。土財虎沖，定是狼餐。

The fifth line in the兑 trigram, which is the water line representing children, is taken as the useful god. The乾 trigram represents a round mouth, while the坤 trigram represents a square mouth. The official ghost in the兑 trigram, which includes the丑 and 未 lines, brings punishment and harm and becomes active. If it is on a yin line, it indicates eating with a short tongue; if on a yang line, it indicates tooth decay or a split lip. If it changes into a metal line, it indicates showing teeth; if it changes into a wood line, it indicates having a lot of facial hair. If a yang earth line is in conflict, the upper lip is raised; if a yin earth line is in conflict, the person is talkative and cheerful. If the line is accompanied by the Gou Chen trigram and is in harmony, the person is lazy to speak. If the line is accompanied by the Vermilion Bird and is strong but empty, the person tends to lie. If it changes into the wealth line, the person eats roughly; if the wealth line is in conflict, the person eats quickly; if the wealth line is in harmony, the person eats slowly. If the wealth line is accompanied by the Azure Dragon and the Nobleman, the person enjoys fine food. If the water wealth line is attacked by theTeng Snake, the person eats like a pig; if the earth wealth line is attacked by the White Tiger, the person eats greedily.

木鬼舌大，火鬼聲炁短，水鬼言語多涎，金鬼缺齒，土鬼缺唇。土鬼逢沖者，結舌。如兌宮金爻被傷，或勾蛇動來合住者，決然音啞（兌為口，金為聲），然必四直皆無金。而朱雀又空絕者，方可斷之。不然，只結舌，非啞也。金旺動，聲響亮。空動愈響，動逢合，聲則低微，鬼加天啞殺動者，主音啞也。

The trigram of the Metal element represents the mouth and the sound, so when the official ghost爻 is associated with Metal, it indicates a large tongue. If the official ghost爻 is associated with Fire, it indicates a short and labored voice. If it is associated with Water, it indicates excessive saliva when speaking. If it is associated with Wood, it indicates missing teeth. If it is associated with Earth, it indicates a damaged lip. If the Earth element official ghost爻 is in conflict, it indicates stuttering. If the Metal element in the West trigram is injured, or if Gou Chen or Teng Sha is activated to form a combination, the person is definitely mute, because the West trigram represents the mouth and Metal represents sound. However, this conclusion can only be made if there is no Metal element in the year, month, day, or hour, and if the Vermilion Bird is in a void or in decline. Otherwise, it only indicates a stutter or difficulty in speaking, not true muteness. If the Metal element official ghost爻 is strong and active, the voice is loud. If it is in a void but active, the voice is even louder. If it is active but meets a combination, the voice becomes weak. If the official ghost爻 with the mute star is activated, it indicates muteness and inability to speak.

以五爻震巽宮木財為用。火雀鬚赤，水玄鬚黑，土勾旺黑短，衰黃短，金虎鬚白，或髯如戟，木鬚長，木財旺動，鬚多，蛇長而曲，龍長直而不亂，木龍逢死墓空絕，必無鬚，值死氣而逢胎養，微有鬚，旺則多，而衰必小，又五爻亥鬼動，必須嘴人也。

Using the fifth line of the Zhen and Xun trigrams, which represent wood and are associated with the wife's wealth, as the useful god. If the hair color is red and the trigram is associated with fire and the Vermilion Bird, the beard is red. If the hair color is black and the trigram is associated with water and the Black Tortoise, the beard is black. If the hair color is earth and the trigram is associated with Gou Chen, when it is prosperous and strong, the beard is black and short; when it is weak, the beard is yellow and short. If the hair color is metal and the trigram is associated with the White Tiger, the beard is white, or the beard is stiff and spread out like spears. If the trigram is wood, the beard is long. If the wood trigram representing wife's wealth is prosperous and strong, the beard is thick. If the trigram is associated with the serpent, the beard is long and curved; if the trigram is associated with the Azure Dragon, the beard is long and straight without being scattered. If the wood trigram representing wife's wealth is associated with the Azure Dragon but meets the dead, tomb, empty, or end phases, there will certainly be no beard. If it meets death qi but also meets the fetal and nourishing phases, there will be only a few hairs. If it is prosperous and strong, there will be many hairs; if it is weak, there will be few hairs. Also, if the fifth line's亥 water official ghost is activated, the person will certainly have a full beard on his face.

以艮宮兄弟為用。六爻兄弟為肩為大臂，五爻兄弟為小臂。勾加金，肩必聳。虎加金，臂有力。化出火土二鬼，必患搭手。化出水木二鬼，或被水木鬼刑沖，必患溼氣痠疼。化木臂長，化木而生世克應，必精拳棍。蛇鬼手曲，虎鬼加刑及艮宮兄弟無故自空者，必折臂。玄鬼加金，臂必刺字。金鬼加刃，主刀傷。木鬼加財，臂痠疼。木化木，臂多青筋。木動逢合，臂筋必牽，手難縮伸。更化兄弟，飲食不便。化土，臂必短。

Using the brothers' line from the Gen palace as the useful god: the sixth line's brothers indicate the shoulder and upper arm, while the fifth line's brothers indicate the lower arm. If Gou Chen is combined with a metal line, the shoulders will surely be raised; if White Tiger is combined with a metal line, the arms will be strong. If it changes into fire ghost or earth ghost, there will certainly be hand eczema. If it changes into water ghost or wood ghost, or if it is punished by water or wood official ghosts, there will certainly be dampness and pain. If it changes into a wood line, the arms will be long. If it changes into a wood line and the world line defeats the response line, the person will certainly be skilled in boxing, kicking, and using sticks and clubs. If the snake official ghost indicates a bent arm; if the White Tiger official ghost is combined with punishment, or if the brothers in the Gen palace fall into empty death without reason, the arm will surely break. If the Black Tortoise official ghost is combined with metal, there will certainly be tattoos on the arm; if the metal line official ghost is combined with the sheep's horn, it indicates a past knife wound; if the wood line official ghost is combined with wealth, the arm will ache. If the wood line changes into another wood line, the veins on the arm will be visible. If the wood line is activated and meets a combination, the tendons on the arm will be pulled, making the hand difficult to move. If it also changes into brothers, even eating will be inconvenient. If it changes into an earth line, the arm will be short.

四爻兄弟為手掌，水潤澤，火枯燥，手心熱。金潔白，土肥厚，或指短。木多毫毛，或指長。加龍肌細潤澤。加虎，手粗硬。加蛇，掌多亂紋。加玄鬼，或帶刑害，掌多逆裂。加勾，掌厚。加雀，掌心熱也。

If the Black Tortoise or Official Ghost is added, or if there is punishment and harm, there are many inverted and cracked lines on the palm. If the Gou Chen is added, the palm is thick. If the Vermilion Bird is added, the palm feels hot.

By using the fifth line's fire line as the useful god, the parents are considered; another view is to divide the lines into yin and yang, with yang lines representing the chest and yin lines representing the back. If the lines are prosperous and strong, the chest is broad; if weak and confined, the chest is narrow. If the lines are in harmony, the chest is full; if they are overcome, the chest is sunken. If the fire line transforms into the official ghost, or becomes active and transforms into a fire ghost, or itself holds a fire ghost, it indicates heart pain or sores on the chest. If the water line transforms into the official ghost, or holds a water ghost, or transforms into a water ghost, there are sweat spots on the chest; if combined with the white tiger, it indicates vitiligo; if combined with the vermilion bird, the gouchen, or the tanshè, it indicates red-purple vitiligo.

Using the yao of the parents, which is a yin earth爻 in the Gen palace (Fifth Line), as the useful god. If the earth yao is accompanied by Gou Chen and is prosperous and strong, the back is thick and solid. If the earth yao is accompanied by Teng Sha and is prosperous and strong, there is a deep groove in the middle of the back. If the metal yao is accompanied by Bai Hu and is prosperous and strong, the bones on the back are prominent. If the water yao is accompanied by brothers, or if the water yao changes into brothers, or brothers change into water yao, then when eating, sweat comes out from the back. If a fire yao official ghost is produced, or if it is刑克 by a fire yao official ghost, there has been a carbuncle on the back. If the fire ghost is weak, it is only a scar from a burn. If a yin earth official ghost is sitting on the yao, the back is hunched. If combined with Gou Chen and Teng Sha, the hunch is more severe.

If there is Qing Long and a conjunction, the lower abdomen is certainly full and hanging down. If there is Xuan Wu and the official ghost is produced, there is often cold pain in the abdomen. If the water official ghost of Xuan Wu in the Kun palace is activated, there are black spots on the abdomen; if the fire official ghost of Zhu Que is activated, there are red spots; if the metal official ghost of Bai Hu is activated, there are white spots.

If the line is in a state of decline and meets a harmonious condition, or if it falls into emptiness without reason, it also indicates weakness in the waist. If the line above is a fire爻 representing official ghost, the person often suffers from abscesses in the lower back. If a metal爻 with a sheep's horn (yang ren) comes to punish and harm, it indicates a past injury from a knife or axe. If this is further combined with the snake (teng sha), the scar remains to this day. If the wood爻 carries the snake and is activated, for a woman, it indicates a slender waist and skill in dancing.

If the official ghost transforms out, it suggests nocturnal emission, as well as diseases like syphilis, carbuncle, and bullae. If the official ghost in the wind trigram line is activated and harms, it indicates hernia. If the earth trigram official ghost transforms into children, it indicates testicular torsion. For women, the third line represents the genital area. If this line holds the official ghost or siblings, or transforms into the official ghost or siblings, it indicates an incomplete female form. If the children line is empty, buried, or at its end, and none of the year, month, day, or hour lines contain children, it indicates a stone mass in the woman's abdomen, known as a stone tumor.

Using the second line of the Xun trigram as the useful god, the leg is strong and thick when the line is prosperous and strong, and thin and weak when it is weak. If there is a conflict, the person is good at walking. If the line is prosperous and strong and activated, the person walks fast and can go far. Those with a soil element walk slowly, those with a metal element walk steadily, those with a water element take small and quick steps, and those with a fire element walk quickly but sway. If the line is accompanied by the snake, it moves like a snake. If accompanied by the Vermilion Bird, it moves with small jumps. If accompanied by the Azure Dragon, it moves with dignity and composure. If accompanied by the White Tiger, it takes wide steps. If a metal or soil line meets the Gou Chen, it walks slowly. If activated and combined with a soil line, it is reluctant to walk quickly. If the line is overcome by the parents, the leg is thin. If the line is accompanied by a wood line and transforms into wealth, there are more hairs on the leg. If the official ghost and the day branch are together, there is a leg ulcer. If the line transforms into the official ghost or has the official ghost hidden beneath it, it is the same.

以二爻震宮兄弟為用。持鬼，伏鬼，化鬼或鬼動來刑剋害者，膝有病，或鶴膝瘋，水溼氣。金木痠疼，火火丹土一足大，陽左陰右。金鬼加羊刃來刑剋，主刀傷。鬼動逢合，膝難屈伸。鬼化土財，有筋牽病也。

Using the second line of the Zhen hexagram's section, the siblings are considered the useful god. If this line is occupied by the official ghost, hidden official ghost, or transforms into the official ghost, or if the official ghost is activated and comes to attack and harm, the knee will certainly be ill, possibly with鹤膝风 (a type of knee disease). If it belongs to water, it indicates dampness; if metal or wood, it indicates pain; if fire, it indicates fire sores; if earth, it indicates swelling in one leg. A yang line should be on the left and a yin line on the right. If the official ghost of metal is combined with the sheep's blade to attack, it indicates a cut wound. If the official ghost is activated and meets a harmonizing line, the knee will have difficulty bending or stretching. If the official ghost transforms into the earth line of wife's wealth, there will be a disease involving pulled tendons and ligaments.

以初爻震宮兄弟為用。陽土腳背厚，陰土腳底厚。火尖削，金骨突出，木腳板長，水多腳汗。旺大休小，木鬼動，腳氣。火鬼動，灸疤。水土鬼動腳爛。如加蛇虎，又被刑害，及在震害無故自空者，主折足。水化木鬼，木鬼化水，俱主溼氣痠疼，不便行走。若木鬼化木鬼，或兩木鬼來刑剋，必經夾棍。蛇土逢陰鬼，足底凹。

The first line of the Zhen trigram, with siblings as the useful god, is used for divination. A yang earth element indicates thick ankles, while a yin earth element indicates thick soles. A fire element indicates a pointed and narrow foot shape, a metal element indicates prominent joints, a wood element indicates a long foot sole, and a water element indicates excessive sweating on the feet. If the line is prosperous and strong, the feet are large; if weak and confined, the feet are small. If the official ghost of wood element is activated, it indicates foot disease. If the official ghost of fire element is activated, there are burn scars on the feet. If the official ghost of water or earth element is activated, the feet may ulcerate. If there is also the influence of the snake and the white tiger, and there is punishment and harm, or if the Zhen trigram is affected and the line falls into an empty state without cause, it indicates a broken foot bone. If the water element changes into the wood official ghost or the wood official ghost changes into the water element, it indicates dampness and pain, making walking difficult. If the wood official ghost changes again into the wood official ghost, or if there are two wood official ghosts attacking, the person must have been subjected to punishment with a wooden stick. If the snake and earth element meet with the yin official ghost, the soles of the feet are sunken.

兄弟空動，或爻旺空動，遇四直沖者，腳跟不著地。兄弟化子孫，為足指，刑則尖，合則正，或纏足。值金，為腳指甲。化土，頭指相平。化木，腳長過指。化火值虎，指甲尖利。化鬼必損傷。又初爻鬼加地蹺殺動者，空則腳蹺，衰亦癢瘡也。

If the siblings line falls into an empty position and becomes active, or if the line is prosperous and strong but falls into an empty position and becomes active, and also meets the four direct lines coming to clash, then when walking, the heels do not touch the ground. If the siblings line transforms into the children line, the children line indicates the toes: if it is harmed, the toes are pointed; if it is joined by another line, they are straight or curled. If the line belongs to metal, it indicates the fingernails; if it transforms into a earth line, the toes are level; if it transforms into a wood line, the sole of the foot is longer than the toes; if it transforms into a fire line and is accompanied by the white tiger, the fingernails are sharp; if it transforms into the official ghost line, there is injury to the toes. Also, if the first line's official ghost line combines with the ground step evil star and becomes active, and falls into an empty position, it is truly a limp; if it is weak, it also indicates the development of sores.

女人初爻單則足小，折則足大。重則先纏後放，交則先大後纏小也。初爻受刑沖剋害，亦主先纏後放。值父，足大，值子，足小，值財，半纏腳。兄鬼持克，非歪腳，必有足疾也。

If divining about a woman, the first line being a single line indicates small feet; if split, it indicates large feet; if doubled, it suggests she first bound her feet and then unbound them; if intersected, it means she first had big feet and then bound them small. If the first line is harmed, conflicted, conquered, or afflicted, it also indicates she first bound her feet and then unbound them. If the first line is occupied by the parents, the feet are large; if by the children, the feet are small; if by the wealth, the feet are half-bound. If attacked by siblings or officials, it indicates either twisted feet or some foot ailment.

以父母爻為壽算。凡世爻，用爻，父母爻，旺靜而無刑害克破者，必高遐齡。雖衰而動變生旺，又無剋制者，或衰而得月日動爻生合者，俱主多壽。若持空死墓絕胎，又逢月日動爻，刑害克破者，或用本衰，又動變出空死墓絕胎，與刑害克破，而元神不現者，或元神現而被傷者（生用者為元神），並主殤殀也。

Calculating lifespan uses the parents' line as the useful god. If the world line, the useful god's line, and the parents' line are prosperous and strong and remain quiet, and are not subjected to punishment, harm, control, or destruction, one is certainly destined for a long life. Even if the line is weak, but it moves and transforms into a strong and thriving state, and is not controlled by anything else; or even if it is weak but receives support and harmony from the month builder, the day branch, or the moving line, these also indicate a long life. If a line falls into the positions of emptiness, death, tomb, decline, or infancy, and is further punished, harmed, controlled, or destroyed by the month builder, the day branch, or the moving line; or if the useful god is originally weak, and after moving it transforms into emptiness, death, tomb, decline, or infancy, and is also subjected to punishment, harm, control, or destruction, and the origin god does not appear; or if the origin god appears but is injured — the line that supports the useful god is called the origin god — these all indicate an early death and a short life.

終壽之年，必用臨流年太歲旬空之內，或不犯歲旬空亡，而值流年天剋地沖者，亦死也。以流年月日會局克世之辰，定其死期，或流年太歲，帶亡神劫殺喪門弔客羊刃大殺兄鬼，來刑沖剋害世，而世又死墓絕胎於流年月日中者，則知命盡於此年此月此日也。

As for the year of death, it must be when the useful god falls into the empty position of the flow year's heavenly stem and earthly branch. Or even if it does not involve the empty positions of the year or the month, if the flow year's heavenly stem conflicts with the useful god's heavenly stem, or its earthly branch conflicts with the useful god's earthly branch, this also indicates death. To determine the time of death, use the flow year, month builder, and day branch to form a combination that attacks the world line's day branch. Alternatively, if the flow year's heavenly stem carries the lost spirit, robbery spirit, mourning door, guest, sheep blade, great sha, and siblings or official ghosts, and these come to attack, conflict, control, or harm the world line, and the world line falls into death, burial, extinction, or fetal positions in that year, month, or day, then the life can be determined to end in that year, month, and day.

丙辰年丙申月己丑日庚午時，子占父壽，得節卦，安靜。坎宮：水澤節（六合）。本卦：兄弟戊子水，官鬼戊戌土，父母戊申金應，官鬼丁丑土，子孫丁卯木，妻財丁巳火世。此卦用爻正旺，更得辰年丑日來生，理宜多壽，直至戊寅年，甲子月，癸卯日故。此年正值甲戌旬，父臨歲旬空內，又絕於歲建，死於月建，胎於日建，元神又被寅年卯日相傷，故當終命也。

In the year of Bingchen, month of Bingshen, day of Jichou, and hour of Gengwu, the son asked about his father's longevity and obtained the Hexagram Jie (Hexagram 60), with all six lines quiet. This hexagram belongs to the Kan palace, named Water Lake Jie, and is a Six Harmony hexagram. The primary hexagram, from top to bottom, is: the top line is brothers Wuzi water, the fifth line is official ghost Wuxu earth, the fourth line is parents Wushen metal holding the responding line, the third line is official ghost Dingchou earth, the second line is children Dingmao wood, and the first line is wealth Dingsi fire holding the world. The interpretation states: the use god parents Shen metal is in its prosperous and strong state, and also receives support from the earth of Chen year and Chou day. According to this, the person should live a long life. Later, he died on the day of Wuyin month, Jiazi month, Guimao day. That year was in the Jiaxu decade, and the parents line fell into the empty position of the decade of the heavenly stem. The metal Shen was also weakened by the wood of the year stem Yin and the day stem Mao. It died in the month stem Zi water, was in the womb in the day stem Mao wood, and the origin god earth that generates metal was injured by the wood of the year Yin and the day Mao. Therefore, his life ended at that time.

戊寅年，己未月，戊戌日，戊午時，夫占妻壽，得師卦，安靜。坎宮：地水師（歸魂）。本卦：父母癸酉金應，兄弟癸亥水，官鬼癸丑土，妻財戊午火世，官鬼戊辰土，子孫戊寅木。財爻有氣，年月日俱克兄，故今無咎，直至丙子年丙申月，庚辰日故，財雖不值歲旬空亡，以遇流年天剋地沖，又被歲月日，會而成水局，剋制火財，所以終命也。

The hexagram is obtained by the husband asking about his wife's longevity. The hexagram is Shi (Hexagram 7), which belongs to the Kan trigram and is a returning soul hexagram. The primary hexagram, from top to bottom, is: the top line is parents Guiyou metal, the fifth line is siblings Guihai water, the fourth line is official ghost Guichou earth, the third line is wife's wealth Wuwu fire holding the world, the second line is official ghost Wuchen earth, and the first line is children Wuyin wood. The interpretation says: the wife's wealth, Wuwu fire, has strength, and the year, month, and day all control the siblings Guihai water, which is a hostile god, so there is no disaster at present. Later, in the year Bingzi, month Bingshen, day Gengchen, she passed away. Although the wife's wealth did not fall into the annual and decennial empty period, that year encountered the flow year and the heavenly stem of the useful god being mutually controlled, and the earthly branch being conflicting, and was also joined by the water trinity of Shen-Zi-Chen, which restrained the fire wealth, so her life ended at that point.

庚寅年，庚辰月，丁卯日，甲辰時，卜自己壽命，得頤之復。巽宮：山雷頤（游魂）；坤宮：地雷復（六合）。六神、伏神、本卦、變卦：兄弟丙寅木，官鬼癸酉金；子孫辛巳火，父母丙子水，父母癸亥水；妻財丙戌土世，妻財癸丑土應；官鬼辛酉金，妻財庚辰土，妻財庚辰土；兄弟庚寅木，兄弟庚寅木；父母庚子水應，父母庚子水世。

In the year Gengyin, month Gengchen, day Dingmao, and hour Jiachen, the question was about one's lifespan, and the hexagram obtained was Yi (Mountain Thunder), which changes to Fu (Earth Thunder). The primary hexagram Yi (Mountain Thunder) belongs to the Xun palace and is a wandering soul hexagram; the changing hexagram Fu (Earth Thunder) belongs to the Kun palace and is a six harmony hexagram. The hexagram layout is arranged in four columns: six spirits, hidden god, primary hexagram, and changing hexagram, from top to bottom. The top line is the brother Bingyin wood which is activated, changing into the official ghost Guiyou metal; below the fifth line is hidden god children Xinsi fire, with flying spirit parents Bingzi water, changing into parents Guihai water; the fourth line is wife wealth Bingxu earth holding the world, changing into wife wealth Guichou earth and holding the response; below the third line is hidden god official ghost Xinyou gold, with flying spirit wife wealth Gengchen earth, changing into wife wealth Gengchen earth again; the second line is brother Gengyin wood, changing into brother Gengyin wood again; the first line is parents Gengzi water holding the response, and the changed parents Gengzi water is holding the world in the changing hexagram.

世動化丑來刑，太歲並寅兄動克戌世，又流年神，飛廉大殺，白虎，在戌，會月虎，日虎，時虎，俱在戌，名為四虎改牙，此極凶之卦，決難免死，故其人病起正月，至四月癸卯日故也。謂世爻病於寅，絕於巳，死於卯也。何以不於辛卯，而在癸卯，謂癸水克丙火，卯木克戌土，故應於此日也。

The interpretation states: The world line, which is the earth element Bingxu, is activated, and it transforms into chou earth, which then returns to刑 it. The sovereign year also joins with the top line, which is the wood element yin, and they both become active, going on to attack the xiu earth world line. Furthermore, in the flowing year's divine omens, Feilian, Great Sha, and White Tiger all fall on xiu. This is compounded by the White Tiger from the month builder, the White Tiger from the day branch, and the White Tiger from the hour, resulting in four White Tigers pressing down on the xiu position. This is called "four tigers changing their teeth," which is an extremely凶ous hexagram, and death is inevitable. Therefore, the person fell ill in the first lunar month and died on theGuimao day in the fourth lunar month. This is because the world line xiu earth is in the state of illness due to yin wood, in the state of death due to mai fire, and in the state of absolute death due to ma wood. So why did he die on theGuimao day instead of theXinmao day? Because the癸 water can overcome the丙 fire, and the ma wood can overcome the xiu earth, with two layers of mutual control occurring together, so the death should occur on this day.

丙寅年，丙申月，丁巳日，丙午時，卜自己壽，得□之大壯。世爻有氣，元神長生，忌神不現，故今無咎，直至戊寅年，戊午月，壬戌日故。世爻正值歲旬空亡，又被年月日，會成火局克世，且世爻絕於歲建，敗於月建，衰於日建，故當終也。

In the year Bingyin, month Bingshen, day Dingsi, and hour Bingwu, the question was asked about one's lifespan, and the hexagram obtained was a change to the hexagram Dazhuang. The name of the primary hexagram is missing one character in the original text. The world line has strength, and the origin god is sitting in the position of growth. The hostile god does not appear, so there is no disaster at present. Later, in the year Wuyin, month Wuwu, day Renxu, he died. At that time, the world line fell into the empty position of the current decade of the heavenly stem, and was attacked by the fire trinity formed by the year, month, and day Yin-Wu-Xu. Moreover, the world line was exhausted by the heavenly stem, weakened by the month, and declined by the day, so his life ended at that time.

安命不論男女，正月起寅，順數至生月止，即於生月上起子，逆數至本人生時安命，先輪定命宮，後排十二宮。一命宮，二兄弟，三夫妻，四子息，五財帛，六疾厄，七遷移，八奴婢，九官祿，十田宅，十一福德，十二父母。

The命宫 is determined regardless of gender, starting from the寅 position in the first lunar month, and counting through the earthly branches until the birth month. Then, starting from the子 hour of that month, count backward to the birth hour; the position where the count stops is the命宫. After determining the命宫, the remaining twelve palaces are arranged in order. The sequence of the twelve palaces is: first the命宫, second the siblings, third the spouse, fourth the children, fifth the wealth, sixth the illness, seventh the movement, eighth the servants, ninth the official position, tenth the property, eleventh the fortune virtue, and twelfth the parents.

先將正變互三卦，排定十二支神，陽世初爻起子順行，陰世初爻起午逆行。輪定命宮，命宮既定，遂從陽世陰世順逆數之。假如陽世子爻值命宮，即從主卦初爻起數，陰世子爻值命宮，即從變卦五爻起數。凡正變互三卦，連環而數十二宮，過而復始。

First arrange the primary hexagram, resulting hexagram, and nuclear hexagram. Assign the twelve earthly branches to each of them. If the world line is yang, start from the first line and count clockwise through the branches. If the world line is yin, start from the first line and count counterclockwise through the branches. This determines the position of the命宫 (life palace). Once the life palace is determined, continue counting in the direction of yang world line (clockwise) or yin world line (counterclockwise). For example, if the子 (rat) branch is at the life palace and the world line is yang, count from the first line of the primary hexagram. If the world line is yin and the子 branch is at the life palace, count from the fifth line of the resulting hexagram. All three hexagrams—primary, resulting, and nuclear—should be counted in a continuous sequence through the twelve palaces. After completing one full cycle of twelve, start again from the beginning.

正卦、變卦、互卦：六宮；五宮，十宮；四宮，九宮，十二宮；三宮，八宮，十一宮；二宮，七宮；一宮。

The arrangement of the twelve palaces among the three hexagrams is as follows, with the primary hexagram, resulting hexagram, and nuclear hexagram arranged horizontally. In the primary hexagram column, from top to bottom, they are the sixth palace, fifth palace, fourth palace, third palace, second palace, and first palace, with each of the six yao occupying one palace. In the resulting hexagram column, it only relates to the fifth, fourth, third, and second yao of the primary hexagram, in sequence, the tenth palace, ninth palace, eighth palace, and seventh palace. In the nuclear hexagram column, it relates only to the fourth and third yao of the primary hexagram, in sequence, the twelfth palace and eleventh palace. It is evident that the twelve palaces are arranged in a continuous sequence among the three hexagrams, rather than being exclusively assigned to one hexagram.

正卦、變卦、互卦：六巳；五辰，十酉；四卯，九申，十二亥；三寅，八未，十一戌；二丑，七午；初子起。

When the World Line is yang, the sequence of the twelve palaces is arranged in order as follows, still presented in three columns: Primary Hexagram, Resulting Hexagram, and Nuclear Hexagram. In the Primary Hexagram, the sixth line is paired with Si, the fifth line with Chen, the fourth line with Mao, the third line with Yin, the second line with Chou, and the first line starts with Zi. In the Resulting Hexagram, the fifth, fourth, third, and second lines of the Primary Hexagram correspond to the tenth palace paired with You, the ninth palace paired with Shen, the eighth palace paired with Wei, and the seventh palace paired with Wu respectively. In the Nuclear Hexagram, the fourth and third lines of the Primary Hexagram correspond to the twelfth palace paired with Hai and the eleventh palace paired with Xu respectively. In summary, starting from the Zi position of the first line, the sequence proceeds in order of the earthly branches.

正卦、變卦、互卦：二未；三申，七子；四酉，八丑，十一辰；五戌，九寅，十二巳；六亥，十卯；初午起。

When the World Line is yin, the reverse arrangement of the earthly branches for the twelve palaces is as follows: the second line of the Primary Hexagram corresponds to Wei, the third line to Shen, the fourth line to You, the fifth line to Xu, and the sixth line to Hai, while the first line starts at Wu. For the Resulting Hexagram, the seventh palace corresponds to Zi, the eighth to Chou, the ninth to Yin, and the tenth to Mao. For the Nuclear Hexagram, the eleventh palace corresponds to Chen and the twelfth to Si. In total, starting from the Wu position of the first line, the earthly branches are counted in reverse order, which is exactly opposite to the method used when the World Line is yang.
