Burial Methods Downward Staff · The Twelve Staff Methods

Overall Paraphrase

The Twelve Staff Methods are the twelve core staff-based point-selection rules in Feng Shui acupoint techniques, using the "staff" as a metaphor for the way of weighing and deciding upon the vital energy pathways in burial practice. The ancients regarded dragon-seeking and point-定位 as akin to probing a path with a staff—where the staff points, there lies the acupoint. Dragon veins differ in gentleness and urgency, hardness and softness, upward and downward orientation, and horizontal and vertical direction, and thus the acupoint method must vary accordingly. Hence, the twelve methods are, in essence, the twelve corresponding burial operation norms under different dragon-vein configurations.

🔥 Shun Staff (Following Staff)

Paraphrase of the Original: When the vein qi is gentle and slow, descending from the center, use the Shun Staff (Following Staff) to receive the qi directly—this is termed "striking." The acupoint star's dragon force is soft and yielding, and the vein conditions wind and extend continuously, requiring no reduction (i.e., no need to deviate left or right to avoid the vein qi). Approach the vein and bury within it, swallowing it into the acupoint. When yang comes, receive through yin; when yin comes, lift through yang—directly rushing, directly sending. It is required that the lower sand reverses to guard the front case, that the specially facing water converges before the acupoint, and that the large and small horizontal waters lock off the outflow—only then is the fortune force vast. However, one must not let the coffin head directly bear against the vein qi, lest the qi rush upward and scatter the head.

Key Points: Gentle vein, central descent → receive directly, bury straight; prerequisite is a soft and yielding dragon, winding veins; avoid the coffin head directly impacting the vein qi.

🌊 Ni Staff (Reverse Staff)

Paraphrase of the Original: When the vein qi is urgent and steep, rushing in from the center, use the Ni Staff (Reverse Staff), seeking a leaning acupoint beside the dragon. The dragon force is mighty, the qi veins are urgent and rigid, and one must resolve this through reduction and turning-drop (taking the acupoint laterally and twisting the descending vein). To avoid the sha (noxious influences), one buries by emitting outward, brushing the ear and pillowing the arm (the acupoint leans beside the dragon's arm), curbing the urgent and returning to the gentle. Both oblique and vertical leaning are acceptable. It is required that all surrounding mountains be arched and firm, all waters converge, the bright hall be level and upright, and the Four Animals (Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Dark Warrior) be complete—only then does fortune come quickly.

Key Points: Urgent vein, central rush → take the acupoint by lateral leaning; transform urgency through reduction and turning-drop; require the Four Animals to be complete.

⛰️ Suo Staff (Contracted Staff)

Paraphrase of the Original: When the vein qi is very urgent, contract and bury toward the mountain summit—termed "contraction," like a pillar-sword gathered at the ring of a head, known as the Sha-Descending Acupoint, Sha-Sitting Acupoint, and Cold-Bucket Leaking Acupoint. If the four mountains are high and steep, encircling and embracing, while the main mountain is low and winding with a short vein, then open the Baihui point area, gathering to cover closely and send forth, brushing the summit and striking the vein to bury, thereby riding the qi. It is required that the Four Animals be complete and not solitary-exposed; that behind, the vein break and fall severed then rise again; before the acupoint in the bright hall there must also be a pool of true water—only then does it form a knot; otherwise the rough qi has not yet departed and the Eight Winds blow through it.

Key Points: Very urgent, short vein → contract and bury on the summit; require the four mountains to embrace, bright hall with water; otherwise the Eight Winds blow through.

🌱 Li Staff (Detached Staff)

Paraphrase of the Original: When the vein qi is very urgent, attach and bury at the void of the dragon force—termed "detachment," like a suspended brush from which a pearl drips, known as the Sha-Casting-Off Acupoint, Thrown Acupoint, Joined Acupoint, Great Yang Shadow-Light Acupoint, and Suspended Coffin Long-Lie Seal. If the dragon is mighty and the force fierce, unloading onto a flat expanse and forming a coiled-plate mat or spread-blanket, facing the coming vein from afar, then one must use guest-earth piled high to form the mound. Only where there are slight hollows or grass-snake ash-line traces does it knot; otherwise the flourishing spirit is untapped and disaster is certain.

Key Points: Urgent vein, fierce force, unload to a flat expanse → bury detached from the vein in void; pile a mound of guest-earth to gather qi; require slight hollows or grass-snake ash-lines.

💧 Mo Staff (Submerged Staff)

Paraphrase of the Original: When the form prostrates with a full face, use the Mo Staff (Submerged Staff). Like a plump breast of stubborn metal, the qi vein is faint and indistinct; ride the qi at the place where it ceases, open the metal to draw water (open the acupoint and take the central warm and moist qi), broaden the terraced path, and sink the burial upright and proper—termed the Sha-Burying Acupoint. One must not mistakenly identify stubborn-hard Tian-gang (an inauspicious star) and thus mislead others.

Key Points: Prostrated form, full face → sink the burial, riding where it ceases; open metal and draw water; avoid mistaking stubborn hardness for an acupoint.

🌬 Chuan Staff (Piercing Staff)

Paraphrase of the Original: When the form rears upward with narrow acupoint opening, use the Chuan Staff (Piercing Staff). Like a thin body of hewn wood, the qi vein is shallow and hurried; then thread through the place from which it comes. Take the center of the verdant hollow, chisel a hole and pierce in—obliquely striking with lateral insertion, or horizontally striking with deep insertion—termed the Sha-Enduring Acupoint. One must not mistakenly identify leaning, sweeping, shattered forms that incline askew.

Key Points: Rearing form, small opening → pierce the vein into the acupoint; chisel a hole in the center of the verdant hollow; avoid mistaking inclined shatter for an acupoint.

🌋 Dou Staff (Dou Staff)

Paraphrase of the Original: When the mountain force is long-extending with a horizontally lying form, use the Dou Staff (斗杖). Like a battle-axe eye (embedded like an axe socket), the dragon force extends and stretches and is collected through borrowed hall. At the true-uepright position behind, at the point frontally facing, pierced through the loins with folded placement, appressed firmly to the ridge with deep insertion—termed Controlling sha, i.e., the acupoints of pulling the bow, hanging the wrist, and gripping the saddle.

Key Points: Long mountain, horizontal form → pierce loins and fold, insert deeply; take position by rear joy and front facing; called Controlling sha.

⚡ Jie Staff (Cutting Staff)

Paraphrase of the Original: When the mountain force is long and straight-bodied, use the Jie Staff (截杖). Like riding a horse's back ridge, where the qi vein does not linger and goes straight off, at a place of slight pause, a slightly weak and gentle point, where the Four Evidences (Dragon, Acupoint, Sand, Water) have feeling, seek out a slight hollow, ride the vein and cut across, work according to method—termed Barring sha, i.e., the acupoints of straightly cutting, horizontally cutting, riding the dragon and severing the pass.

Key Points: Long mountain, straight body → at the place of a slight vein pause, cut while riding; seek a slight hollow; called Barring sha.

☯️ Dui Staff (Opposing Staff)

Paraphrase of the Original: When from above hard and below soft, place the marker in the drift line at the conjugating point against the vein—hence termed "opposing." At great height it is steep and urgent; deeper down it is gentle—one goes between high and low, on the boundary where wet and dry can first be distinguished, equally splitting urgency and gentleness, hardening and yielding balancing interplay, straight-leaning against center, cutting per circumstances—termed the Middle-Gathering Striking Acupoint. The pair must pitch in from the corners in plum form (paired-award without deflection), without any concavity, with acupoint premise clearly understood, the living spirit revealed; thus it binds. Otherwise energetically venting above and curtailing below, the trickling of earth-and-ant infestations is unavoidable.

Key Points: Above hard, below soft → at the junction of hard and soft, against the vein, strike from the center; require left and right pairing, clear acupoint; otherwise earth-ant troubles arise.

🌿 Zhui Staff (Decelerating Staff)

Paraphrase of the Original: When force is strong and vein urgent, top-vein solid adjacent burial among the low gentleness of the chain's footland—termed "decelerate." When exactly of truth-it gives vital alignment with soft-over-yield-farinante opposition but lacks a soft-enough wide-fledging distance, so with already extended-field quiet-emission is its core-most, deep-flush could well raise to strong against mountain-shaft.

Proceed doing that fully literally:### ☂️ Carrying the Umbrella

Paraphrase of the Original: When the incoming dragon's qi is urgent and the vein rushes straight through the center with no breast-qi, then stick near the right side, half-reclining at its back, borrowing the position of the extended left arm with the bright hall broadly unfolding, like a person carrying an umbrella. The golden well should be opened shallowly, for if too deep it will wound; and guest-earth should be mounded about him to tamp solid and full, something many have delivered of it reliably—throughout it crowns a certain prosperous line-down.

Paraphrase of the Original: When the incoming dragon's qi is urgent and the vein rushes straight through the center, without a breast-like protrusion, then the acupoint should attach to the right side, half-receiving at its rear, relying on the position of the extended left arm, with the bright hall wide and open, like a person carrying an umbrella overhead. The golden well should be opened shallowly, for if too deep it will wound; and guest-earth should be added, tamped solid over the grave. This will surely bring wealth and honor that endure through the ages.

Key Points: Vein rushing straight with no breast formation → attach to the right and half-receive; open shallow with guest-earth mounding.

🏛 Upright Burial (Zheng Zang)

Paraphrase of the Original: When the incoming dragon reaches the acupoint within three or four sections, and the acupoint is neither steep nor pressing with enclosing belts neatly aligned, with the golden fish (the joining waters before the acupoint) encircling like a ring and hall breaths clearly defined, then it is proper to plant the main acupoint, open the well, lower the coffin, receive the true qi, mound the tomb high and layered, facing centered alignment as standard affirmed. Within but a period (about six years), both wealth and eminence arrive together complete.

Key Points: Netted dragon sections even, golden fish encircling → plant directly on the true acupoint; wealth and honor within roughly six years.

🔓 Opening (Da Kai) / Cutting

Paraphrase of the Original: When the great-yang star is stubborn metal without wave patterns or grain — smooth and plain without textured traces—it must be opened by cutting a deep spot into a nest shape, treating about a pit-side, using circular opened portion firmly rooted to the wider e-ends-mound style. The golden fish must cross itself the point selection water from bird-of-month-eye while placing the hanging-side without overlapping cast — to be suspended inside truly draws a slight center-middle. It gives fortune slowly but endures without downfall.

Please only faithfully and completely translate the following content into English, preserving the markdown format and structure, without adding any preamble, conclusion, paragraph numbers, or notes. Output the translation of this paragraph directly:

The incoming dragon runs along high ridges with tight veins, and the acupoint appears both present and absent—only by climbing high to observe the dragon can its true orientation be discerned. The mountain peak must shed layers through the Metal-Water canopy formation, forming a small knot in the level ground below. At the entry point there is a spreading mat-like formation with the posture of a halting post station or reined horse (like a horse station pausing in place). Within the crossing of the ten directions, open a deep golden well, raise a tall grave mound, and trim and cut according to the proper methods—there is naturally a profound principle within.

Key points: High ridge with tight veins, appearing both present and absent → climb high to discern the dragon; Metal-Water canopy shedding to form a small knot in level ground; deep well opened within the crossing center.

🪓 Doubling the Axe

Where the straight dragon rests on a dangerous position yet lacks flanking embrace, yet left, right, front, and back all present ghostly luminance—turn around and lie across, linking the mountain to gather water, thereby connecting with the vital breath. The disposition is like the doubled axe paying homage. The front-facing court does not permit casual speculation by common practitioners, for the configuration comes straight and is received transversely—thus it is difficult to perceive.

Key points: Straight dragon lacking flanking embrace → turn and lie across; straight arrival, transverse reception—extremely difficult to identify.

🕳 Carrying the Hollow

The incoming dragon traverses horizontally, turning and dropping its pulse. The acupoint takes the form of a wasp waist, joining the celestial wealth formation with two gold-like ends (both ends rounded and golden, the center concave like a wasp's waist). Behind is a proper supporting peak, and it delights in the palm-up posture, with direct insertion. The well need not be dug too deep—burying one-third of the coffin suffices; if too deep, it would wound the acupoint. The front pass secures the hall's vital breath from leaking, bringing blessings enduring forever; if the sand and water truly depart, then it is inauspicious—this resembles the celestial wealth formation.

Key points: Wasp-waist concave center → direct insertion in palm-up posture; burying one-third of the coffin; sand and water departing means inauspicious.

The incoming dragon is urgent above and gentle below; the female and male cross in harmonious degree; the hall's vital breath is clear and distinct; the responding table emerges elegantly. When the dragon and tiger arms press close before the front, the insertion point may pass above through the dragon-tiger waist and below take the intersecting water, holding horizontally—the posture is like a person holding a child.

Key points: Urgent above, gentle below → pass through the dragon-tiger waist and take the intersecting water; the horizontal holding posture.

🔻 Swallowing Down

The incoming dragon's force runs straight, then falls obliquely, delaying and quivering as it receives influence. The acupoint method should swallow inward, opening the well to gather the true vital breath. Behind responds its supporting music, before greets its court-facing. This is an auspicious site of great wealth without interruption. Though the acupoint lies high, bury in the front section and raise a virtual mound mound, named Swallowing Down. It must have response and support to be auspicious.

Key points: Straight falling, oblique quivering → swallow inward, open well to gather vital breath; front and behind each answered; establish a virtual mound.

🌬 Spitting Burial

The incoming dragon descends in a posture resembling dew pearls flowing along grass blades—this is spitting breath and exposing pearls. If damaged or infringed upon, the true vital breath disperses. One may only stick to its trace, slightly opening the golden well and low-mounding a brick enclosure. If water flows without mud, and there is an elegant response before, it will surely become a site of great wealth and nobility.

Key points: The form of dew pearls on grass → stick to the trace and open a small hollow; avoid damaging the true vital breath.

🎈 Floating Burial

The incoming dragon reaches the hand with low and level disposition, with flanking aids standing high. Within the acupoint there is inevitably a hollow nest (a curving concave socket) hiding its true vital breath: the four waters do not sweep it, the eight winds do not blow it. One should open a shallow golden well, laying down the coffin properly. The method does not require deflection—no clever shifting is needed. Use imported soil to mound thickly around, raising the grave fortress and cutting the connection, cutting the warm breath together; the true vessels surge and merge—wealth and nobility arrive immediately.

Key points: Low flat entrance with high flanking aids → a socket nest concealing vital breath; move shallowly and place squarely; heap foreign soil thickly; wealth comes immediately.

The incoming dragon's disposition is high while its guards are low; the descended vital breath necessarily penetrates deeply. Gathering the auras and facing with feeling, the gate of closure is not yet fully intact. The must lower bore to the puyo-level, submerging into the flat of the base; the crushing flanking aids are the only proper method. Open the well and bury one-third of the coffin, compacting mounds within the four sides, thereby avoiding the moving seizures of the eight winds, and truly becoming a land of long-enduring posterity.

Key points: Dragon high, guards low → bore low into the flat below and bury submerged; sink one-third of the coffin and pack the flanks securely.

🐂 Leading the Ox

The Saturn-star dragon forms its acupoint, and at the entrance it suddenly rises two crowns. Left and right arms extend forthway, with overlapping transfers repeated multiple times. The courtyard receives devotedly, though two degrees present distinction. How deep, how shallow, fitted in due measure and formally arranging in proper mode—carve form into cavity and place coffin; borrow both flanks; distribute five-latitude against limb-root and foot-point attachment. This is the juncture of connecting lime trees yoked indeed, such nature stands no commonplace view; a hummock of the texture of a double site fittingly, as from a unicorn stately spitting ideal Chinese char is.

Key points: Saturn with twin crests; dug into squared shapen cavern | cavity in coffin sharing either lean; one hm could produce two pits.

Clean output directly solely full desired—just repeating absolutely:In the incoming dragon, the high ridge has tight veins, and the acupoint appears both present and absent—only by ascending to a height to observe the dragon can its true bearings be discerned. The mountain head must shed and lower through the Metal-Water canopy formation, forming a small knot in the level ground. At the entry point, there is the spreading-mat, halting-horse, post-station posture (like a post horse pausing in place). In the middle of the cross, open a deep golden well, raise a high mound to form a grave, and trim according to the proper methods—there is naturally a subtle principle within.

Key points: High ridge with tight veins, appearing both present and absent → ascend high to discern the dragon; Metal-Water canopy sheds to form a small knot in the level; open a deep well in the center of the cross.

🪓 The Axe-Fighting Method

A straight dragon rests upon a dangerous position without surrounding protection, yet left, right, front, and back exhibit ghostly brightness. Turning the body, it lies transverse, drawing from the mountain to take water, thereby connecting with the living breath—its disposition like an axe that fights and pays homage. The front-facing court should not allow seasonal masters to recklessly speculate, for the momentum comes straight yet is received transversely—therefore it is difficult to discern.

Key points: Straight dragon lacking protection → turn the body and lie transverse; straight coming, transverse receiving—extremely hard to identify.

🕳 The Hollow-Carrying Method

The incoming dragon passes transversely, turning and dropping its pulse. The acupoint takes the wasp-waist disposition, joining with the two golden ends of the Celestial Wealth pattern (both ends round and gold-like, the middle concave like a wasp’s waist). Behind is a proper support, delighting in the upturned-palm center, where one directly pierces. The well need not be dug too deep—swallowing one-third of the coffin is sufficient; if too deep, it would instead wound the acupoint. The front pass secures the hall’s qi so it does not leak, bringing blessings that endure long. If the sands and waters truly depart, this is inauspicious—such is similar to the Celestial Wealth pattern.

Key points: Wasp-waist concave middle → insert directly into the upturned palm; swallow one-third of the coffin; departing sands and waters bring ill fortune.

👶 The Child-Holding Method

The incoming dragon is urgent above and gentle below, with yin and yang crossing in due measure. The hall qi is distinctly clarified, and the responding table stands forth elegantly. When the dragon-tiger arms press urgently before the face, piercing the acupoint may pass upward through the dragon-tiger waist, or downward take the junction of the waters, embracing horizontally like a person holding a child.

Key points: Urgent above, gentle below → thread through the dragon-tiger waist and take the junction of waters; posture of horizontal embrace.

🔻 The Swallow-Down Method

The incoming dragon’s momentum runs straight then falls aslant, wavering and quivering as it receives. The acupoint method should swallow into the slope, opening a well to gather the true qi. Behind, it responds to its delight; before, it faces its court. This is an excellent site of great and lasting wealth. Though the acupoint lies high, one buries at the front and then erects a hollow mound—named Swallow-Down. It must have responding support to be fortunate.

Key points: Straight falling, aslant wavering → swallow into the slope and gather qi through the opened well; face before, respond behind; erect the hollow mound.

🌬 The Spitting Burial Method

The incoming dragon descends in a momentum shaped like dew dripping beads upon grass—this is the spitting breath and dripping pearl. (Such a condition’s qi is exceedingly intolerant of being repressed.) If injured and spoiled, the true qi will perish. One simply follows its traces with adhesive embrace, minutely opening the metallic prison-well, and fabricating toward small ram's feet; any "disdaining movement” allows the finest retreat. If the "guo-brush" dies-onto-ember still undefiled? it out.

If ahead a modest arrival prepares thereby open the then remove by "differ out" partial fill then moresh rugged– needless dig deep excavation? But due preceding need-to: 'Tie the well **please close few. Correct lay low bricks protective hump he squat entirely directly simply unexcept. If's completed outside the minor small well held with total within still cover by done enough physical retrans finished very short'.

Key points: The pattern of dew-jewels on grass → adhere to its tracks with lightly opened incisions small and thinly; it prohibits harming by violation of qi.

🎈 The Floating Burial Method

The incoming dragon’s hand enters with fluid quality low and level, while the flanking armies protrude higher. Within the “mountain-loft” vacancy there must be a curved socket that still conceals all true vitality; the four mingled streams perturb it not, nor could the eight rustic gales invade. Firmly yet the need arises of lighter scrape-cautious new opened depths; burials absolutely held at gradation squarely simple yet perpendicular. According there's pit least sidestep affliction then madding fashion may at times. Coax lark extra guest-eyebrow-north through original tamping excess structure nearby seam base-woman mound direct merged bring entire unit's deep pass toward into return among start instantly.

Key points: Low-level flat entry with elevated wingman embraces ✦ curving valley tucked as vital duct; slight boring exactly per-square placed even-depth deck encased thick-silt repair at— this marks aristocratic immediacy.
