Preface

宋王佐所著有三式書，謂太乙、六壬、奇門，而三式之中，獨尊太乙，蓋陰陽占候家之言也。太乙占十二辰宮，如有災祥禍福、主客勝負，乃詳見各宮，歷歷如指諸掌。先看太乙諸星，若主客大將、主客參、主客算，及文昌、始擊、四神、五福之類，諸局中參看多寡，並掩擊格迫，審其輕重，察其淺深而預備之，可以偃息干戈而坐致太平矣。大抵太乙之法，盡於淘金歌，次以歲差法算五子元，自大橈甲子日月合壁，五星聯珠為始，以至今年算該若干局，復以年月日時推之，即可定第幾局，而內外勝負可得前知，此其大略也。若夫洞通涵會，剖析竅穿，貫通乎陰陽之化，是在才智兼全者，以心運之而已矣，彼泥法而或至於撟誣者，亦奚足云哉。

A Song dynasty scholar named Wang Zuo wrote a book on the Three Methods. The term "Three Methods" refers to three systems of divination: Taiyi, Liu Neng, and Qi Men. Among the Three Methods, Wang Zuo particularly valued Taiyi, because it belongs to the school of yin and yang divination. The method of Taiyi uses the twelve earthly branches to determine the positions of various events. All phenomena such as disasters, omens, misfortunes, blessings, and the outcome of battles, including who is the main force, who is the guest force, and who will win or lose, are all clearly displayed in the different positions. When making a divination, one first examines the various stars on the Taiyi disk, such as "Main General," "Guest General," the "Deputy Generals" of both sides, and the "Main Calculation" and "Guest Calculation" derived from counting. In addition, one also considers the number of certain deities such as "Wenchang," "Shi Ji," "Four Gods," and "Five Blessings." These are compared within each situation to assess the presence of the several ominous patterns such as "covering," "striking," "blocking," and "pressing." By weighing their severity and depth, one can make preparations in advance, thus preventing warfare and achieving peace. In general, the calculation methods of Taiyi are all included in the "Tao Jin Ge." Next, one uses the method of annual movement to calculate the "Five Sons' Periods." Starting from the moment when the first person, Da Rao, created the Jiazi system, and the sun and moon were like a jade disk, and the five planets were like a string of pearls, one calculates up to the number of periods for the current year. Then, by calculating year by year, month by month, day by day, and hour by hour, one can determine which period the question falls into. Thus, the outcome of the opposing sides can be known in advance. This is the general idea of Taiyi. As for thoroughly understanding and penetrating the inner workings of Taiyi, integrating it with the principles of yin and yang and the transformations of the universe, this requires people with both talent and wisdom to apply it diligently. Those who merely stick to fixed rules or even fabricate false interpretations to deceive others are not worth mentioning.

陽遁第一局、甲子、丙子、戊子、庚子、壬子。太乙在一宮，天目武德（主算七，主大將七宮，客目掩，主參將一宮囚，始擊將大武掩主大將，客算十三和，客大將三宮發，客參將九宮格，計神寅。此局客算長和、門具、將發，利為客，見陣利先動，出軍宜東北，戰利西南，利直陣，舉青旗，雲氣從北來，客勝，聞賊備西南，奇兵西南，伏兵利戌亥時。太乙雖助主，主大將為客目掩之，算短不和，不利為主，聞賊備西南。）

Yang Dun's first array is governed by the years starting with Jiazi, Bingzi, Wuzi, Gengzi, and Renzi, known as the five "Wu Zi Yuan." In this array, the Taiyi (the main deity of the Taiyi system, governing sixteen deities) is located in the first palace, and the "Tian Mu" (i.e., "Wenchang," the eye of Taiyi) is at the Wude position among the sixteen deities. For the main side: the calculated "Zhu Suan" is seven, and the "Zhu Da Jiang" (main general) is located in the seventh palace, which is obscured by the guest side's Tian Mu, called "Yan." The "Zhu Can Jiang" (main deputy general) is located in the first palace, sharing the palace with Taiyi, called "Qiu." The "Shi Ji" general is approaching the Da Wu (great military), also pressing upon the main general. For the guest side: the "Ke Suan" is thirteen, a harmonious number; the "Ke Da Jiang" (guest general) is located in the third palace, called "Fa," meaning it can act from the central palace; the "Ke Can Jiang" (guest deputy general) is located in the ninth palace, opposing Taiyi, called "Ge"; the "Ji Shen" is in the寅 (Yin) position. Overall, the guest side has a longer and more harmonious calculation, with all three gates complete and all generals active, indicating a favorable situation for the guest side. In battle, it is advisable to act first, deploy troops toward the northeast, gain advantage in the southwest, arrange a straight formation, use green flags, and have clouds coming from the north, which would lead to a guest victory. However, one should also be cautious of enemy movements from the southwest, and deploy a hidden force in the southwest, setting ambushes during the戌 (Xu) and亥 (Hai) hours. Although Taiyi supports the main side, the main general is obscured by the guest side's Tian Mu, and the calculation is short and discordant, making the main side unfavorable. Therefore, the main side should also be cautious of enemy movements from the southwest.

陽遁第二局、乙丑、丁卯、己丑、辛丑、癸丑。太乙在一宮，天目大簇（主算六不和，主大將六宮內迫，主參將八宮外迫，始擊將陰主擊，客算一不和，客大將一宮囚，主挾，客參將三宮，客利，計神丑。此客主大小將挾客大將，客大將囚，主客俱不利，客宜固守，主聞賊備正西，客聞賊備西北。）

The guest side's guest calculation is one, also an inharmonious number; the guest general is in the first palace, sharing the same palace as Taiyi, forming "captivity," and is also squeezed by the main side's major and deputy generals, called "restraint"; the guest deputy general is in the third palace, which is slightly advantageous for the guest side; the spirit of calculation is in the Chou position. In this formation, the main and guest generals and deputy generals together restrain the guest general, who is both captured and restrained, so neither side gains an advantage: the guest side should remain steadfast and not move, while the main side should guard against enemy movements in the due west direction, and the guest side should guard against enemy movements in the northwest direction.
