巳時生人，聰明伶俐，初限富貴，衣祿有餘，自家成立產業，骨肉刑剋之命，三十一，三十六，四十九有災，過此七十四歲之壽。巳時初生人，先主克母，初年富貴，田宅進退，權柄有威有勢。詩：此命出尋常，修行燒好香，子母多離別，家業好榮昌，巳初子孫早，作事須早行，田園進後退，財帛日中霜。

Someone born in the hour of Si is intelligent and quick-witted; they enjoy wealth and abundance in their early years; they establish their own business; there is conflict among family members. At the ages of thirty-one, thirty-six, and forty-nine, there will be misfortune, but after that they can live to seventy-four. Those born in the earlier part of the Si hour will first harm their mother; they enjoy wealth and prosperity in their early years; there are gains and losses in property and land; they hold power with authority and influence. The poem says: this fate is extraordinary; it is suitable to cultivate virtue, burn incense, and accumulate merit; there is often separation between mother and child; the family business is prosperous; the children of those born in the early part of the Si hour come early; one should act promptly when handling affairs; the fields and land come first then decline; money is like frost at noon, which disappears quickly.

巳時中生人，先主克父，平日宜開口，談天說地，為人多管閒事，多成少敗，六親無力，志氣超群之命。詩：立身身自穩，舉意意沖天，膽氣如天大，末限福綿綿，巳中兒孫望，亦主進田園，克妻二子立，後代子孫賢。巳時末生人，無克破衣祿豐足，兄弟俱全，性巧近貴為人，成家快樂之命，若出家大吉。詩：巳末喜文章，成家大吉昌，蟾宮相咫尺，立在貴人鄉，巳末福無量。妻宮恐見傷，立身多快樂，晚景受安康。

The poem says: one's conduct in the world is naturally steady; with a single thought, one's ambition reaches the heavens; one's courage is as vast as the sky; in old age, blessings are continuous; descendants born in the Si hour have hope; they also indicate the acquisition of farmland; although they may overcome their wife, they can raise two sons; their descendants are capable. Those born in the latter part of the Si hour have no punishments or damages; they have abundant food and clothing; their brothers are all present; their nature is clever and they can approach the Nobleman; they are destined for a happy family life; if they choose to become a monk or monk, it is very auspicious. The poem says: those born at the end of the Si hour enjoy literature; they have a prosperous family life; the moon palace is within reach, meaning that academic success is attainable; they are in the land of the Nobleman; those born at the end of the Si hour have boundless blessings; however, the wife's palace may be harmed; they have much happiness in their lives; and enjoy peace and comfort in their old age.

午時生人，為人春風和氣，改換祖業，初限中限吉利，宜持齋作福，十三，三十二，三十六，四十九有疾，過此七十八歲之壽。午時初生人，無克破一生富貴，文武皆通，為人慷慨，出眾超群，六親無力，出外成家之命。詩：生來正午初，一動百人扶，安車並坐馬，變化貴人模，六親於得力。兄弟亦多疏，妻房多財寶，富室擁千奴。

A person born at the hour of Wu will be kind and amiable in dealing with others. They will change the family business inherited from their ancestors.

At the ages of thirteen, thirty-two, thirty-six, and forty-nine, they may fall ill, but after recovery, they will live to be seventy-eight. Those born in the earlier part of the Wu hour will not suffer from punishments or losses, and will live a life of wealth and prosperity. They are skilled in both literary and martial affairs, generous in nature, and outstanding among their peers. However, their Six Relations will not be supportive, indicating a destiny of establishing a family outside their hometown. The poem says: Being born at the beginning of the Wu hour, any action taken will be supported by hundreds of people. When going out, they can ride a horse or use a carriage. Their demeanor and behavior show the appearance of a nobleman. Among their Six Relations, there will be those who are helpful. However, their siblings will be distant. Their wife's family will be wealthy. They will live in a rich household with many servants.

午時中生人，先克父，衣祿辛苦，成敗反覆，先難後吉，末限發福之命。詩：生來不自由，衣食周未周，巴巴啾唧過，何處逞風流，子孫多富貴。事業出人頭，妻房多見損，財帛積山邱。午時末生人，先主克母，六親無力，祖業拋離，衣祿辛苦，勤儉生涯，末限成家之命。詩：父母六親憂，財帛自成愁，前程雖可望，勞祿不須求，午末身康健。兒孫望後流，妻子心性悅，收成百歲休。

Those born in the middle part of the午 (Wu) hour first harm their father; they find it hard to obtain food and clothing; their success and failure are unstable; they face difficulties at first but eventually achieve good fortune; they enjoy prosperity in their old age. The poem says: "From birth, one is always at the mercy of others; food and clothing are obtained with great effort; sometimes there is enough, sometimes not; life is full of worries and restlessness; how can one enjoy a carefree and pleasant life? Fortunately, their descendants are numerous and prosperous; their careers will achieve great success; however, their wives often suffer injuries; eventually, their wealth will accumulate like mountains." Those born in the later part of the午 (Wu) hour first harm their mother; they lack support from the Six Relations; they abandon their ancestors' legacy and seek new paths; they find it hard to obtain food and clothing; they live by diligence and frugality; they only establish a family and career in their old age. The poem says: "One worries about parents and the Six Relations; one is anxious about money; although there is hope for the future, official rank should not be pursued forcefully; those born at the end of the午 hour have healthy bodies; the prosperity of their children depends on their descendants; their wives are happy; their life's harvest ends at a hundred years."

Those born in the middle part of the You hour will first harm their father; their clothing and food come naturally; they treat people with equality in heart; their actions are thorough; they have the fortune of fame and wealth; however, their six relations and siblings are difficult to be complete; this is a fate that starts with misfortune and ends with good fortune.

亥時生人，心直口快，招人是非，一生作事，辛勤勞碌，初限祖業難守，末限大好，此乃晚景之命，十九，三十九，五十六小災，過此八十九之壽。亥時初生人，先主克父，作事百般如意，一生近貴，能為福壽兩全之命也。詩：萬種風流好，功名自有成，諸般皆遂意，福壽挽山青。亥時中生人，三十年無克破，父母前聲應後聲，為人平等自有權威，一生不犯災厄，親近貴人，晚景發達之命。詩：衣祿自然亨，平生福壽全，一心行善事，凡事坦然平。

Those born in the latter part of the亥 (Hai) hour will first harm their mothers; their clothing and food will be ordinary; they will have good intentions in all matters; their marriage will involve two partners, with both success and failure; they will achieve great wealth and blessings in their later years. The poem says: clothing and food must be earned through hard work at first; husband and wife will hinder each other; fortunately, they have no burdens or constraints; the child by a different surname will be with them; in old age they will enjoy peace and comfort; their mind will be clear and tranquil, making it an ideal time for cultivation; their farmland and property will meet their wishes; among their descendants, there will be officials and ministers. In the three parts of the亥 hour, the beginning signifies nobility, the middle signifies safety, and the end signifies prosperity in later years. This is exactly the purpose of dividing each hour into early, middle, and late parts in this book—since the same hour may have different influences at different times, the method of divination will change accordingly.

詳夫觀命之法，原以八字為主，八字俱好無沖剋刑破，如根基深固，不怕風搖，一遇疑限，即發財祿，遇反運亦不生災悔，年限沖千日時，方可決其悖沒，八字不全牢，逢福運而反殃，名曰：小船不堪重載，身弱無根，多逢煞運而大數難逃，以此推之，萬無一失，天下豪傑英俊，人間壽夭窮通，果有天機，全無巧言令色，年限自有，定局在前，如遇潤月生人，自可加減推算。

To examine the method of divining one's fate in detail, the fundamental basis is the Eight Characters (Ba Zi). If all eight characters are favorable without any conflicts, clashes, punishments, or destruction, it is like a house with deep and solid foundations, which can withstand the wind without shaking. When encountering a suspicious period of fortune, wealth and official rank may arise. Even if encountering an adverse period of fortune, it will not lead to calamity or regret. Only when the flow year and period of fortune conflict with the heavenly stem of the day pillar or the hour pillar (the character '千' is a mistake for '干', due to similar appearance in the original text), can one determine that there will be a decline. If the Eight Characters themselves are not solid, even if one encounters good fortune, it may bring misfortune, which is called 'a small boat cannot carry heavy cargo'. If the body is weak and lacks roots, it is often the case that encountering a malevolent period of fortune will lead to an inevitable fate. According to this principle, there is no possibility of error. The talents and heroes of the world, the longevity and short life, and the poverty and success of people on earth, indeed have their own heavenly secrets, which cannot be explained by empty words. The years are originally fixed and determined. If someone was born in a leap month, one can calculate by adding or subtracting the first or second half of the month (the character '润' is a mistake for '闰').

上半年夜半前，作前半月；下半年夜半後，作後半月。不問男子女人，地支四字，子寅辰午申戌為陽，丑亥酉未巳卯為陰，四字中陽多陰少，主克父，陰多陽少，主克母，得之於心，應之於手，年上起月，月上起日，日上起時，時上起刻，男順行，女逆行，逢凶即凶，逢貴即貴，運掌之間，昭然莫能逃。

The handling of a leap month is: if someone is born in the first half of the month but before midnight, it is counted as the first half; if born in the second half of the month but after midnight, it is counted as the second half. Regardless of gender, one should look at the four earthly branches in the four pillars: Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen, Xu belong to Yang; Chou, Hai, You, Wei, Si, Mao belong to Yin. If among the four characters there are more Yang than Yin, it indicates a father's death; if more Yin than Yang, it indicates a mother's death. These rules should be memorized well so that they can be applied smoothly. The order of calculation is: starting from the year pillar to the month pillar, from the month pillar to the day pillar, from the day pillar to the hour pillar, and from the hour pillar to the moment. For male fate, count forward; for female fate, count backward. When encountering a凶 star, it indicates misfortune; when encountering a贵 star, it indicates fortune. Everything operates clearly in the palm, everyone cannot escape. This passage concludes the entire book's method of counting and the general rule of male forward and female backward, which is the origin of the name "One Palm Classic."

推五命人得病日期。金命之人墓在丑，己丑日得病大凶；木命之人墓在未，癸未日得病大凶；水命之人墓在辰，壬辰日得病大凶；火命之人墓在戌，甲戌日得病大凶；土命之人墓在辰，丙辰日得病大凶。此法玄機通天地，大月從上數至下，小月從下數至上，先問得病月期數，便知病人患吉凶，妙訣推算無人會。

This section discusses the days on which people with certain Five Phases destinies are most likely to fall ill. According to the twelve palaces of the growth cycle of the Five Phases, the burial place of metal is Chou, so those with a metal destiny are most dangerous if they fall ill on Jichou day; the burial place of wood is Wei, so those with a wood destiny are most dangerous if they fall ill on Guiwei day; the burial place of water is Chen, so those with a water destiny are most dangerous if they fall ill on Renchen day; the burial place of fire is Xu, so those with a fire destiny are most dangerous if they fall ill on Jiaxu day; and for earth, which is said to be strong in the four seasons, the burial place is taken as Chen, so those with an earth destiny are most dangerous if they fall ill on Bingchen day. The term "burial" refers to the place where the original energy is stored and hidden. When illness occurs on the day of the person's destiny entering its burial place, it is as if the life energy is returning to its source and being hidden away, hence it is considered extremely dangerous. The secret of this method connects heaven and earth: when encountering a large month with thirty days, count downwards; when encountering a small month with twenty-nine days, count upwards. First determine the month and day the illness began, then count according to this method to determine the fortune of the illness. Unfortunately, this secret is very profound, but few people are skilled in its application.

先天毫釐定生死，初一日起仔細輪，馬立人生災有救，馬倒收拾入幽冥，馬斜有災即便治，祿正病重命不傷，祿馬倒無陰陽路，祿斜有災請醫冥。

The next is a mnemonic for predicting illness: the fate of life and death is determined in the slightest detail by theEarlier Heaven number. One should start counting from the first day of the month on the palm. When counting to "驿马" (Post Horse), if it is upright, the person may have misfortune but can still be saved; if it is inverted, one should prepare for the end and make arrangements for the afterlife; if it is slanted, there will be illness but it can be cured immediately. When counting to "禄" (Wealth), if it is upright, the illness may be severe but not life-threatening; if both "禄" and "驿马" are inverted, both yin and yang paths are cut off, and there is no way to recover; if "禄" is slanted, there will be misfortune, and one must urgently seek out a skilled physician. Here, "禄" and "马" refer to the positions of the Wealth God and Post Horse on the palm. The three states—upright, slanted, and inverted—are the conditions when counting to these positions, and they determine the severity and outcome of illness.

論每月生時小兒煞。正七休生巳亥時，二八辰戌不堪推，三九卯酉難存立，四十寅申生悲泣。五十一月防丑未，六十二子午ˋ悽，十二月中時有犯，小兒關煞報君知。論桃花煞（命宮犯此不可出莉）。申子辰雞叫亂人倫‘酉’，亥卯未鼠子當頭忌‘子’，巳酉丑跨馬南方走‘午’，寅午戌兔從卯裡出‘卯’。

First, the child's bad hour. The rule is: children born in January and July should avoid the hours of Si and Hai; those born in February and August should avoid the hours of Chen and Xu; those born in March and September should avoid the hours of Mao and You; those born in April and October should avoid the hours of Yin and Shen, as they will cry; those born in May and November should avoid the hours of Chou and Wei; those born in June and December should avoid the hours of Zi and Wu (this line originally had one missing character, the original was 'sixty-two Zi and Wuˋsad'). Each of the twelve months of a year has a forbidden hour, which is the rule for the child's bad hour. Now, the peach blossom evil spirit, those whose destiny is affected by this should not go out. The method is to take the position of the bathing in the triple harmony: Shen Zi Chen form a water triple harmony, the peach blossom is in You, so it is said 'the chicken's call disrupts human relationships'; Hai Mao Wei form a wood triple harmony, the peach blossom is in Zi, so it is said 'the rat is at the head and is to be avoided'; Si You Chou form a metal triple harmony, the peach blossom is in Wu, so it is said 'riding a horse to the south'; Yin Wu Xu form a fire triple harmony, the peach blossom is in Mao, so it is said 'the rabbit comes out from Mao'. The characters You, Zi, Wu, and Mao in the brackets are the branches where the peach blossoms fall in each triple harmony.

論十二時夫妻犯。羊鼠相逢一旦休，從來白馬怕轂牛，蛇逢猛虎如刀截，豬見猿猴似箭投，玉兔見莊雲裡去，金雞遇犬淚雙流，莫道陰陽無定準，管取夫妻不到頭。論子午卯酉時。子午卯酉四客高，為人聰俊逞諃豪，多有兄弟難倚靠，一雙父母不相交，時初時末為伴鏝，時正ˋ單獨自挑，餺重祿榮身檉顯，翼沖雲漢福滔滔。

The mnemonic for incompatible zodiac signs in marriage refers to six pairs of conflicting animals: sheep and rat meet, and the relationship ends immediately; a white horse fears a green ox; a snake meets a tiger, like being cut by a knife; a pig meets a monkey, like being shot by an arrow; a jade rabbit meets a dragon, and disappears into the clouds (the original text mistakenly wrote 'zhuang' instead of 'dragon', due to similar characters); a golden rooster meets a dog, and both weep. Do not say that yin and yang compatibility has no standard; according to this mnemonic, these combinations are sure to lead to marital failure. Now discussing the four key hours: zi, wu, mao, and you all belong to the 'four cardinal' directions, which form a high-level pattern; the person is intelligent and handsome, capable of displaying heroic spirit; although there are many siblings, they are not reliable; the parents do not get along well; those born at the beginning or end of the hour still have someone to rely on, but those born in the middle of the hour must be alone; wealth is abundant, honor is great, and the person is prominent; like a bird's wings reaching the Milky Way, the fortune is endless (the original text mistakenly wrote 'bo' instead of 'wealth' and 'cheng' instead of 'prestige', these two characters are similarly miswritten throughout the text).

論寅申巳亥時。寅申巳亥四字強，為人聰慧近文章，時正弟兄三四個，時初時末也成雙，父母無刑多倚靠，榮華檉顯坐高堂，若得父母雙全在，晚景康寧大吉昌。論辰戌丑未時。辰戌丑未四字ˋ，上妨父母齊親疏，雖有兄弟難倚靠，祖房常被別人租。時初管取先亡父，將來克母在冥途，公門事虰為生脪，男為僧道女尼姑。

Now discussing the four hours of Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai: these four belong to the "Four Long Lives," which have strong energy; the person is intelligent, inclined towards literary pursuits; those born at the exact middle of the hour have three or four brothers and sisters; those born at the beginning or end of the hour also have a pair of siblings; there is no conflict with parents, and they are often reliable; they achieve honor and prosperity, sitting in high places; if both parents are still alive, their later years are peaceful and fortunate. Finally, discussing the four hours of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei: these four belong to the "Four Storage Places" (the original text is missing one character at the end); the upper part hinders the parents, and the relationship with relatives is either close or distant; although there are siblings, they are not reliable; ancestral property is often rented out by others. Those born at the beginning of the hour will see their father pass away first; eventually, the mother will also pass away; they can only find a livelihood by working in the government office (the character "虰" should be "ye," and "脪" should be "ji"); men often become monks or Taoists, while women often become nuns. The division of the four main hours, the four long lives, and the four storage places forms the framework of this section.

年月逢識論（其識有十，隨某年上與某月生人所定符劣）。方丈識：方丈之識性無毒，為人權柄有威權，不犯刑沖多主檉，符壓文才大丈夫。子年二，七，十二月。丑年二，六，十一月。寅年二，九，十月。卯年正，四，十月。辰二，五，十二月。巳年二，六，十二月。午年正，四，七月。未年二，五，八月。申年二，六，十二月。酉年正，七，十二月。戌年六，九，十二月。亥年六，九，十二月。

This section discusses "knowledge" (识), which has ten types. They are determined by matching the earthly branch of the birth year with the birth month. By examining the year and month of birth, one can determine which type of "knowledge" a person belongs to, and thus judge their character as good or bad. The first type is "square measure knowledge" (方丈识). The poem says: people with square measure knowledge have a nature free of harmful intentions; they hold power and have authority; as long as the four pillars do not commit punishment and clash (刑冲), they are likely to achieve high status; their talent is sufficient to dominate others, making them outstanding literary men (the character "柽" is mistakenly written as "贵," and this character is similarly misused throughout this section). The years and months corresponding to square measure knowledge are: those born in the year of Zi (子) in the second, seventh, and twelfth months; those born in the year of Chou (丑) in the second, sixth, and eleventh months; those born in the year of Yin (寅) in the second, ninth, and tenth months; those born in the year of Mao (卯) in the first, fourth, and tenth months; those born in the year of Chen (辰) in the second, fifth, and twelfth months (the original text lacks the character "year" here); those born in the year of Si (巳) in the second, sixth, and twelfth months; those born in the year of Wu (午) in the first, fourth, and seventh months; those born in the year of Wei (未) in the second, fifth, and eighth months; those born in the year of Shen (申) in the second, sixth, and twelfth months; those born in the year of You (酉) in the first, seventh, and twelfth months; those born in the year of Xu (戌) in the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; those born in the year of Hai (亥) in the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months.

The second type is called "Tong Tian Zhi" (Heavenly Insight). The poem says that people with this insight have a long lifespan; their clothing, food, salary, and livelihood are stable and secure; their demeanor is respected by others, and they are often close to noblemen. If this insight appears twice in the four pillars, it is a particularly auspicious fate. The years corresponding to "Tong Tian Zhi" are: those born in the Year of Zi (Rat) encounter the sixth and twelfth months; those born in the Year of Chou (Ox) encounter the first, seventh, and twelfth months; those born in the Year of Yin (Tiger) encounter the fifth, eighth, and twelfth months; those born in the Year of Mao (Rabbit) encounter the third, ninth, and twelfth months; those born in the Year of Chen (Dragon) encounter the second, fifth, and twelfth months; those born in the Year of Si (Snake) encounter the first, fourth, and tenth months; those born in the Year of Wu (Horse) encounter the first, fourth, and seventh months; those born in the Year of Wei (Goat) encounter the first, fourth, and tenth months; those born in the Year of Shen (Monkey) encounter the second, sixth, and eighth months; those born in the Year of You (Rooster) encounter the third and sixth months; those born in the Year of Xu (Dog) encounter the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; those born in the Year of Hai (Pig) encounter the fifth, seventh, and eighth months.

The third type is called 'Sanhe Zhi' (Triple Harmony Identification). The poem says: Those with the Sanhe Zhi identification often face misfortunes in their early years; when their destiny encounters punishment and clash, misfortunes will come their way; however, those who possess this identification usually have a gentle and harmonious nature, but they are afraid of not being able to retain wealth at home (the character 'li' should be 'jia' and 'fou' should be 'cai'). The years and months belonging to the Sanhe Zhi identification are: in the Year of Zi, during the first, sixth, and ninth months; in the Year of Chou, during the fourth, seventh, eighth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Yin, during the fifth, eighth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Mao, during the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Chen, during the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of Si, during the second, eighth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Wu, during the first, second, fourth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Wei, during the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of Shen, during the second, eleventh, and twelfth months; in the Year of You, during the second, sixth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Xu, during the first, fourth, and seventh months; in the Year of Hai, during the second, eighth, and eleventh months. The fourth type is called 'Puti Zhi' (Bodhi Identification). The poem says: Those with the Puti Zhi identification have a compassionate nature; as a result, they are hated by wicked people and bullied by good people; however, when they meet good people, they do not bully them, and when they meet wicked people, they do not fear them; throughout their lives, they will naturally possess noble appearance and solid foundation. The years and months belonging to the Puti Zhi identification are: in the Year of Zi, during the second, fifth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Chou, during the second, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Yin, during the fourth, fifth, and tenth months; in the Year of Mao, during the second and tenth months; in the Year of Chen, during the second, sixth, and ninth months; in the Year of Si, during the fourth, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of Wu, during the fifth, eighth, and tenth months; in the Year of Wei, during the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Shen, during the fifth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of You, during the second, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Xu, during the second, fifth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Hai, during the second, fifth, and twelfth months.

The fifth type is "Fu Lu Shi" (Prosperity and Wealth Identification). The poem says: Those with "Fu Lu Shi" have great wealth; even if their money is spent, it will come back; in their birth chart, auspicious stars shine brightly, allowing them to often associate with noblemen; their clothing and food will naturally be as they wish (the character "Bo" is mistakenly written as "Cai" and "Xue" as "Xing", these two characters are both miswritten throughout the text). The years and months belonging to "Fu Lu Shi" are: in the Year of Zi, the sixth and twelfth months; in the Year of Chou, the second, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Yin, the fourth, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Mao, the second, fifth, and eighth months; in the Year of Chen, the second, eighth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Si, the first, fourth, and seventh months; in the Year of Wu, the second, fifth, and eighth months; in the Year of Wei, the third, fifth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Shen, the first, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of You, the third, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Xu, the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Hai, the first, fourth, and eleventh months. The sixth type is "Liang Jia Shi" (Good Family Identification) (the original text says "Liang Li Shi", both characters are miswritten). The poem says: Those with "Liang Jia Shi" are accustomed to managing estates; their actions are stable, and they enjoy both fortune and status; the ancestral foundation is suitable for change; everything they do is self-reliant, and their family connections are good. The years and months belonging to "Liang Jia Shi" are: in the Year of Zi, the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of Chou, the second, fifth, and tenth months; in the Year of Yin, the second, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Mao, the first, fourth, and seventh months; in the Year of Chen, the second, sixth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Si, the second, sixth, and ninth months; in the Year of Wu, the fourth, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of Wei, the fifth, eighth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Shen, the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of You, the first, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of Xu, the second, fifth, and sixth months; in the Year of Hai, the first, fourth, and tenth months.

The seventh type is "Elimination of Misfortune." The poem says: Elimination of misfortune is inherent in one's destiny; born with a nature to do good deeds, one seldom experiences sorrow; within the Five Phases, there are naturally generating deities that assist; blessings continue endlessly, and misfortune never occurs. The years and months belonging to "Elimination of Misfortune" are: in the Year of the Rat, the second, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Ox, the first, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of the Tiger, the first, seventh, and eleventh months; in the Year of the Rabbit, the second, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Dragon, the first, fourth, and seventh months; in the Year of the Snake, the second, fourth, and eleventh months; in the Year of the Horse, the fourth, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of the Goat, the second, ninth, and tenth months; in the Year of the Monkey, the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of the Rooster, the second, fifth, and eleventh months; in the Year of the Dog, the second, sixth, and eleventh months; in the Year of the Pig, the first, fourth, and tenth months. The eighth type is "Good Teacher." The poem says: A person of good teacher is respected by all; food and clothing are naturally abundant and prosperous; wherever he goes, he is liked by noblemen; when the flow of years meets his inherent destiny, he will have smooth and prosperous fortune. The years and months belonging to "Good Teacher" are: in the Year of the Rat, the fifth, eighth, ninth, and tenth months; in the Year of the Ox, the seventh, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Tiger, the first, seventh, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Rabbit, the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Dragon, the first, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of the Snake, the sixth and eleventh months; in the Year of the Horse, the second, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Goat, the second, sixth, and tenth months; in the Year of the Monkey, the second, fifth, and tenth months; in the Year of the Rooster, the first, seventh, and eleventh months; in the Year of the Dog, the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Pig, the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months.

成就識：成就之識多耟慨，幼年不遂有妨害，好心救人成怨恨，只為自性無寧耐。子年二，六，九月。丑年二，六，九月。寅年四，七，十月。卯年五，八，十月。辰年三，九，十一月。巳年正，四，十月。午年八，十一月。未年二，九，十月。申年正，四，十月。酉年三，五，十二月。戌年二，六，十二月。亥年正，四，十月。佛法識：佛法之識不可輕，生來八字甚分明，好學古今心性巧，出語和人始終應。子年五，八，十一月。丑年二，九，十二月。寅年正，九，十一月。卯年二，十一月。辰年三，九，十二月。巳年正，四，十月。午年三，九，十月。未年六，九，十二月。申年六，九，十二月。酉年正，四，十二月。戌年二，六，九月。亥年四，七，十月。祿蝏周，初ㄐ辛苦，中末亨猷。

The ninth type is "Achievement Awareness." The poem says: Those with Achievement Awareness are mostly generous; they often face difficulties in their youth; they have good intentions to help others, but end up creating resentment; this is because they cannot maintain inner peace and patience. The years and months associated with Achievement Awareness are: in the Year of Rat, during the second, sixth, and ninth months; in the Year of Ox, during the second, sixth, and ninth months; in the Year of Tiger, during the fourth, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of Rabbit, during the fifth, eighth, and tenth months; in the Year of Dragon, during the third, ninth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Snake, during the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of Horse, during the eighth and eleventh months; in the Year of Goat, during the second, ninth, and tenth months; in the Year of Monkey, during the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of Rooster, during the third, fifth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Dog, during the second, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Pig, during the first, fourth, and tenth months. The tenth type is "Buddhist Awareness." The poem says: Buddhist Awareness should not be looked down upon; one's birth chart is very clear; they are eager to learn about ancient and modern matters, their minds are clever; their words are harmonious with others, and their words always come true. The years and months associated with Buddhist Awareness are: in the Year of Rat, during the fifth, eighth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Ox, during the second, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Tiger, during the first, ninth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Rabbit, during the second and eleventh months; in the Year of Dragon, during the third, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Snake, during the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of Horse, during the third, ninth, and tenth months; in the Year of Goat, during the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Monkey, during the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Rooster, during the first, fourth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Dog, during the second, sixth, and ninth months; in the Year of Pig, during the fourth, seventh, and tenth months. The last sentence of the original text is damaged, but the general meaning is that there is an excess of official luck, which is complete, early years are hard, but middle and later years are prosperous and successful. ("蝏" is taken as "余," and one character is missing in the sentence.)

太陽薛值日生人，初一，七，八，十三。為人福祿，初年不足，末運硐達，賴太陽宿。太陰薛值日生人，初二，初十，十四。清秀奇富，父母幼無，男生離祖，女刑丈夫。天文薛值日生人，初三，九，十五。和諧翔敬，兒女相刑，末運豐足，夫婦ˋ零，男當離祖，女亦妨夫，修行念佛，可跳中途。

This section still determines fate based on the day star, but the listed dates differ slightly from the previous "Discussion on the Birth Day," and they can be cross-referenced. The character "薛" in each entry is actually a mistake for "星" (star), and "硐" is a mistake for "通" (passage). The Sun Star governs the days of the first, seventh, and thirteenth: those born on these days have fortune and official rank, but lack sufficiency in early years, and achieve success in later years, relying entirely on the blessing of the Sun constellation. The Moon Star governs the days of the second, tenth, and fourteenth: those born on these days have a refined appearance and an unusual wealth in their family; they lose their parents in childhood; men are destined to leave their ancestral home, while women may have conflicts with their husbands. The Celestial Star governs the days of the third, ninth, and fifteenth: those born on these days have harmonious and respectful relationships between husband and wife; there may be conflicts among children; they enjoy abundant fortune in later years; the relationship between husband and wife eventually declines (the original text is missing one character here); men are destined to leave their ancestral home, and women may suffer from marital difficulties; if they cultivate virtue and recite the Buddha's name, they can escape this mid-life hardship.

天母薛值日生人，初四，十六。多學少成，夫婦和寧，是非難免，中運清平，末ㄐ更美，餺祿豐盈。天帝薛值日生人，初五，十一，十七。衣食有蝏，伶俐文書，兄弟和睦，逸樂安居。太乙薛值日生人，初六，十二，十八。有享榮華，衣祿足跨，中運平常，晚歲亨嘉。

On the day of the Heavenly Mother Star, those born on the 4th and 16th days of the month: they learn much but achieve little; their spouses are harmonious and peaceful; they cannot avoid disputes; their middle years are quiet and smooth; their later years are even more beautiful (the original text is missing one character here); their wealth and official salary are abundant. On the day of the Heavenly Emperor Star, those born on the 5th, 11th, and 17th days of the month: they have enough food and clothing ("蝏" should be "余"); they are clever and good at handling documents; their siblings are harmonious; they live a comfortable and happy life. On the day of the Taiyi Star, those born on the 6th, 12th, and 18th days of the month: they can enjoy honor and prosperity; their food, clothing, and salary are more than sufficient; their middle years are ordinary; their later years are prosperous and beautiful. These three stars are roughly equivalent to the previous section's Tianfu, Tianhuang, and Taiyi stars, but with slightly different names, showing that in the transmission of this text, the same set of daily stars was referred to by two different names.

太陽薛值日生人，十九，二十五。衣足祿足，身餅天祿，平淡中年，後享賟福。太陰薛值日生人，二十，二十六。離祖成莉，智慧無涯，富檉衣祿，錦上添花。天文薛值日生人，二十一，二十七。男離祖命，難靠親情，出外昌盛，妻有沖刑。

The second group under the Sun Star is for those born on the 19th and 25th: their clothing, food, salary, andofficial stipend are all sufficient; they possess heavenly bestowed fortune (the character '饼' should be '秉'); their middle years are plain; afterwards they enjoy abundant blessings. The second group under the Moon Star is for those born on the 20th and 26th: they leave their ancestral home to establish their own households (the character '莉' should be '家'); they have boundless wisdom; they possess both wealth and fortune, which can be considered as adding flowers to a brocade. The second group under the Celestial Star is for those born on the 21st and 27th: men are destined to leave their ancestors' home; they cannot rely on family ties; they prosper when they go out; their marriage宫 has conflicts and punishments. When the same star governs the upper and lower halves of the month, the outcomes differ: the upper half often brings loneliness and hardship, while the lower half turns to abundance. This is the most important point to note when combining this section with the previous one.

天母薛值日生人，二十二，二十八。六親無靠，自卓勤勞，男女婚早，出外最高，檉人敬重，朋友相扶。天帝薛值日生人，二十三，二十九。為人和合，妻餺子祿，初限平常，晚運受福。太乙薛值日生人，二十四，三十。為事有成，父母凋零，巳弟無倚，自硐自興，初年不濟，末運稱情。

The second group under the Tianmu Star, which refers to those born on the 22nd and 28th days: the Six Relations offer no support; they rely entirely on their own diligence and ability to stand out; both men and women marry early; those who go out have the greatest prospects; they are respected by the Nobleman and supported by friends. The second group under the Tian帝 Star, which refers to those born on the 23rd and 29th days: they are harmonious and sociable; they enjoy the blessings of wife, wealth, children, and official rank; their early years are ordinary; their later years bring happiness. The second group under the Taiyi Star, which refers to those born on the 24th and 30th days: they can achieve success in their endeavors; their parents pass away early; their siblings offer no support (the character '巳弟' should be read as '兄弟'); everything is opened up by themselves and initiated by themselves (the character '硐' should be read as '通'); their early years are not prosperous, but their later years are satisfactory. The entire text ends here: starting from the twelve stars on the palm, proceeding to divide by year, month, day, and hour, and then to illness, child煞, peach blossom, ten identities, and daily value, forming a complete system that can be predicted with a single palm.
