🌬️ 飞符入于鬼乡，看其休囚之类。 When the flying talisman enters the realm of the Ghost Star, one must observe its state of vigor or decline to determine the depth of fortune or misfortune.
🐅 虎入门兮人散，雀带刑兮吏追。 When the White Tiger enters the gate of the house, the household members scatter and flee; when the Vermilion Bird is accompanied by punishment, officials pursue and clerks harass.
⚖️ 勾刑门兮宅祸，虎害干兮人灾。 When Gou Chen penalizes the gate palace, calamity befalls the residence; when the White Tiger harms the Day Stem, danger befalls the person.

🕳️ 九地庚辛为伏两，若遇惊伤而带刑害，暗中有损； When Jiu Di combines with Geng-Xin metal energy, forming the Fuyin (prostrate) configuration, if it encounters the Jing or Shang gates with punishment or harm, hidden losses and ruin occur.

🔄 返吟不吉，伏吟不祥。 The "Returning Chant" configuration is inauspicious; the "Prostrate Chant" configuration is likewise unfavorable.
This ballad constructs a complete system for determining the fortune and misfortune of a dwelling, built upon the combinatorial relationships among the Nine Stars, Eight Gates, Eight Spirits, and Ten Heavenly Stems. At its core:
This represents an extraordinarily refined "diagnostic system for the residence" in ancient Qimen Dunjia. Viewed through a contemporary lens, one can understand it as a environmental risk assessment model for living spaces:
In sum, this ballad represents a taxonomy of residential risks—it categorizes the various risks a household may encounter along dimensions such as "external/internal, human/physical, sudden/gradual," and assigns symbolic counters from the Spirits, Stars, and Gates as a rapid index.
Practical applications in modern life:
| Ancient determination | Modern equivalent scenarios | Practical advice |
|---|---|---|
| Tiger entering the gate; household scatters | Family splits due to external shocks | Monitor family members' career stability and coordinate major decisions |
| Bird with penalty; officials pursue | Neighborhood disputes, contractual litigation | Verify property titles and neighbor relations before purchase; pay attention to contract terms |
| Xuan Wu in power; treacherous activities | Theft, fraud, insider betrayal | Strengthen security measures; be cautious about delegating important matters to outsiders |
| Liu He with Tianzhu; children's grievances | Strained parent-child relationships | Pay attention to children's mental wellbeing; improve communication |
| Gui + Ding; kitchen and latrine unfavorable | Feng Shui concerns in kitchen and bathroom | Inspect kitchen and bathroom ventilation, drainage, and gas safety |
| Brilliance entering White; fire and fright | Fire hazards | Regularly inspect electrical circuits and gas pipelines; equip with fire safety equipment |
| Jiu Di with hidden damage | Concealed quality issues in construction | Hire professional building inspectors at purchase; pay attention to concealed works |
Decision model: Transform divination insights into an "assumption—action—review" pathway:
Embedded in this ballad lies a profound spatial philosophy: the dwelling is the "external body" of the resident.

凡占家宅，以值使之门生所落之宫、天盘日干生合地盘时支为吉。若乙丙丁三奇、六仪临于旺相禄位或长生之宫，又得门生宫，主家宅清静安宁，人口平安，且能增益田产财物。 具体而言：** 🌱 生门生宫，主有田产、布帛、五谷等进益之利；**💰 开门生宫，主有金玉、珍宝、财物，并有贵人相助之益。 需详察八门的生克关系来推究吉凶。
若凶星克宫、门克宫，而地盘又临衰墓之地且受刑伤者，则难免口舌是非、灾厄疾病、牢狱之灾、小人侵扰、忧虑惊惧等事。
若阳星被伤，则家中男性有灾非；若阴星受克，则家中女性必有口舌、灾病之患。若阴阳之星皆被克，则无论男女长幼皆有忧患。
又按八卦配六亲论之：** ☰ 乾为父、☷ 坤为母、☳ 震为长男之属。若某人的本命落在墓绝之宫，又被冲克，则此灾非同小可——轻则疾病，重则有性命之忧。但若得比和相扶或得生助之宫，则为难中有救之象。

Deliver.When Ding or Gui enters with Geng or Xin, and the life palace is struck by clashes, the calamity is not an unavoidable fate of death — if there is mutual support or assistance, it is a sign of deliverance in the midst of misfortune.
This sentence reveals a profoundly nuanced perspective: danger is never absolute. Even in the darkest of configurations ("tomb or extenuation with clash"), if the condition of "mutual support or born-assistance" exists, the obstruction transforms into "rescue within adversity." This reflects the core philosophical principle of Qimen and traditional Chinese divination as a whole: there is no absolute fortune or misfortune — only changing conditions. Just as the I Ching says, "Misfortune is what good fortune leans upon; fortune is what misfortune conceals." Redemption always resides within the configuration itself.

The phrase "When malevolent stars are subdued by me, they become my instruments" is particularly crucial—it embodies a strategic mindset of transforming enemies into assets. In modern terms, this means: adverse factors, if properly managed, can be converted into favorable conditions. For example, a low-lying site (inauspicious) can form a pattern of gathering water and accumulating wealth (beneficial to me) if a proper drainage system is installed (subduing it).
Practical key points when building a new house or purchasing a property:
"The malevolent star, subdued by me, becomes my useful agent—nothing is taboo."
This statement reveals the deepest strategic philosophy of Qimen Dunjia: Auspiciousness and inauspiciousness are not fixed attributes, but dynamic balances within relationships. Whether a factor is favorable depends not only on its own nature but also on its relationships with other factors. A malevolent star when subdued works for me; an auspicious star when unchecked brings harm. This way of thinking is highly consistent with modern systems theory: the quality of a system depends on the coupling patterns between elements, not on the labels of the elements themselves.
Overall Paraphrase
For divination on repairing a dwelling, the Door of Life (Sheng Men) is the primary reference. One must select an entirely auspicious day and hour. If the Door of Life falls upon the foundation, it is supremely auspicious and suitable for construction. If the Door of Life is the time envoy of the Heavenly Fowl Star (Tian Qin), and this star resides in the Central Palace, it is also an auspicious omen.
If in the direction being repaired the Door of Life resides in its palace, one must be careful of the palace and door committing oppression (oppression being the door overcoming the palace or the palace overcoming the door, creating a coercive force). The same principle applies to repair of yin dwellings (tombs).
Key factors in divining dwelling repairs:
The modern counterpart of repair divination is: risk assessment before renovation.
Reference points for renovation:
| Ancient Principle | Modern Suggestion |
|---|---|
| Door of Life as primary | Core renovation goal: enhance comfort and functionality |
| Door of Life on foundation | Check water, electrical, and wall systems (concealed works) before renovation |
| Heavenly Fowl in Central Palace auspicious | Keep the central area of the house stable; avoid major alterations there |
| Beware of palace-door oppression | Avoid mutual interference between functional zones (e.g., don't place kitchen adjacent to bathroom, ensure bedroom living room flow) |
Overall Paraphrase
Divination on relocation assesses auspiciousness and inauspiciousness by the nine stars and distinguishes feasibility by direction according to the nine palaces.
Examine the palace corresponding to the direction of relocation: if there are Three Wonders or auspicious doors in the relocation direction, with the Heavenly Fowl Star accompanying the palace, then it is auspicious in all four seasons; the Heavenly Assistant Star (Tian Fu) brings great fortune in spring and summer; the Heavenly Heart Star (Tian Xin) brings great fortune in autumn and winter; all other stars are unfavorable.
One determines the Heavenly Leader (the Value Star/Value Envoy) according to the time of inquiry, that is, observing which star the Heavenly Leader occupies at the given time. Judgments by this method follow the same principles.
The core logic of relocation divination: directions determine palace positions, palaces are matched with stars and doors, and stars and doors determine fortune.
Relocation divination corresponds to modern moving decisions:
Practical recommendations for relocation decisions:
| Season | Favorable Direction | Corresponding Star | Modern Suggestion |
|---|---|---|---|
| All seasons | Central Palace (local move) | Heavenly Fowl | Moving within the same city is relatively safe |
| Spring/Summer | Southeast (Xun) | Heavenly Assistant | Favor southeast directions or culturally developed regions in spring/summer |
| Autumn/Winter | Northwest (Qian) | Heavenly Heart | Favor northwest directions or economic/political centers in autumn/winter |
| Others | Depends on configuration | Other stars | Judged with caution based on specific charts |
Overall Paraphrase
For this divination, the Kan and Li palaces serve as points of origin for the yin-yang division of positions.
From the eleventh month through the fourth month (excluding month names) is the yang period, where Kan, Gen, Zhen, and Xun (the eastern and northern four palaces) are considered inner, with Li, Kun, Dui, and Qian (the southern and western four palaces) as outer; from the fifth month through the eleventh month is the yin period, where Qian, Dui, Li, and Kun are inner, with Kan, Gen, Zhen, and Xun as outer.
Additionally, the year stem represents parents, the month stem represents brothers, the day stem represents oneself, and the hour stem represents children; judgments are made according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches in the given Qimen chart.
To determine whether brothers (will separate in residence): examine whether the day and month stems/branches fall in inner or outer palaces. If the day stem and month stem (or day branch and month branch) fall respectively on the inner and outer sides, this indicates separation; if they fall together in the same side, it indicates no separation. To determine children's separation, one may apply the same logic by examining the day and hour stems/branches.
Then, the flourishing or declining states (wang, xiang, xiu, qiu) determine the fortune of such separation.
This divination method is a remarkably sophisticated system for analyzing family relationships:
This divination method directly corresponds to modern family decisions on dividing property or separation of residence:
Reference framework for modern application:
| Relationship | Which Two Pillars | Inner-Outer Relationship | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parents and brothers | Year and Month | One inner, one outer | One brother leaves home for development |
| Between brothers | Month and Day | One inner, one outer | Brothers divide the family or live in different places |
| Self and children | Day and Hour | One inner, one outer | Children leave home for independence after adulthood |
| Both inner / both outer | Any two pillars | Same side | Close relationship, not likely to separate |
In the separation divination, the division of "inner and outer" by yin-yang half-year periods reflects the ancients' unique understanding that "time determines space."
** The determination of inner and outer is not fixed but shifts with the seasons**. This means "what constitutes inner versus outer" is itself a dynamic concept. The same direction may be inner during the yang half-year and outer during the yin half-year. This holistic view of space-time bears striking resonance with the modern physical concept that "time and space are inseparable."
