或以三合者，如人一身之运用也。精乃天之元，气乃神之本，是以精为气之母，神为气之子，子母相生，精气神全而不散之为合。盖谓支属人元，故以此论之。如申子辰，申乃子之母，辰乃子之子，申乃水生，子乃水旺。辰乃水气，生即产， 旺即成，库即收，有生有成有收，万物得始得终，乃自然之理，故申子辰为水局。若三字缺一则化不成局，不可以三合化局论。盖天地间道理，两则化，一阴一阳之谓也，三则化，三生万物之谓也。已酉丑、寅午戌、亥卯未皆然。五行不言土者，四行皆赖土成局，万物皆归藏于土故也；若辰戌丑未全自作土局论。
凡命有合，要得局为佳。假令丙丁生人见亥卯未印、已酉丑财为得局，见寅午戌火为本局，申子辰水为官局，辰戌丑未土为伤局。又如丙人见已酉丑，丁人见寅午戌为三位禄格，谓丙以已为禄，丁以午为禄，酉丑合已，寅戌合午故也。《珞录子》云：“禄有三会”。 《壶中子》云：“得一分三，折月中之仙桂”。此之谓也。余仿此例。
凡六合三合入命，主人形容姿美，神气安定，好生恶死，心地平直，周旋方便，聪慧疏通。如相生合者，举事多遂，更有福神来往，则福愈厚，一生平易，多艺多才，言和貌悦，不较是非，福祸扶持，人多见怜；如相克合者，难事而易悦，多是定计，动多招损，更有凶煞相兼，横事勾连，惊暴之灾，不致深咎；死绝合者，主人有为未尝遂意，威武不重，精神俗陋，招人鄙薄，志卑气窄，爱小人恶君子，习下自贱，一生少得称怀；与建禄合者，多横财、意外名望之福；正印贵人合，得天恩贵人提携之福；食神合，衣禄丰余，饮食厚给；大耗合，无礼貌，言情行浊，厚于贱人，侮慢君子；咸池并，奸恶私通，不良贪污之行；与官符并，多招形狱，词讼旁牵，暗昧是非；天空并，动无成实，贱人欺诒。妇人大忌合中带煞，咸池玷行淫声，大耗必致淫奔，中有贵禄者，自贱而贵也。大率合吉神则吉，合凶神则凶。
The Earthly Branch Three Combinations Bureau is akin to a complete system of human operation: Essence 🌱 is the source of life (Heavenly Stem), Qi 🌬 is the spiritual foundation. Essence nurtures Qi, Qi transforms and cultivates Spirit. The cyclical generation and cohesive inseparability of these three constitute a "Combination." Earthly Branches carry the energy of Human Yuan, hence the analogy.
Taking the Shen-Zi-Chen Water Bureau as an example:
Why is there no Earth Bureau?
Earth nurtures all things 🌏. The four bureaus of Metal, Wood, Water, and Fire all rely on Earth to form. Therefore, an Earth Bureau is discussed only when all four Earth branches (Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei) are present.
| Day Master | Three Combinations Bureau | Attribute | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bing/Ding | Hai-Mao-Wei | Seal Bureau | Knowledge and protection 🌿 |
| Bing/Ding | Si-You-Chou | Wealth Bureau | Wealth opportunities 💰 |
| Bing/Ding | Yin-Wu-Xu | Self Bureau | Enhancement of personal energy 🔥 |
| Bing/Ding | Shen-Zi-Chen | Officer Bureau | Career authority ⚖️ |
| Bing/Ding | Chen-Xu-Chou-Wei | Hurting Officer Bureau | Drainage and pressure ⛰ |
Special Noble Patterns:
Dynamic Balance System: The Three Combinations Bureau reveals the cyclical law of energy "generation → peak → storage," emphasizing completeness and collaboration.
| Traditional Concept | Contemporary Mapping |
|---|---|
| "Essence, Qi, Spirit" | Resource reserve → Action power → Result transformation |
| Formation of Three Combinations Bureau | Team collaboration / Completeness of project process |
| Missing one breaks the bureau | Missing key links leads to goal failure |
The "Birth-Flourish-Storage" essence of the Three Combinations Bureau is the concentration of spatiotemporal energy: Shen (spatial expansion) → Zi (temporal peak) → Chen (spatiotemporal sedimentation). Contemporary people can draw from this framework to establish a growth cycle of "input → creation → review" within fast-paced life.
| Combination Type | Personality Manifestation | Risk Warning |
|---|---|---|
| Mutually Generating Combination | Strong affinity, versatile 🎨 | Prone to gullibility |
| Mutually Overcoming Combination | Outwardly compliant, inwardly calculating ⚔️ | Prone to disputes and gossip |
| Death/Exhaustion Combination | Inferiority complex, shrinking, associating with petty people 😔 | Weak workplace competitiveness |
| Combining with Auspicious Gods | Opportunities for noble help / windfall gains ✨ | Beware of arrogance from success |
| Combining with Inauspicious Gods | ||
| - Peach Blossom (Xianchi) | Emotional entanglements 🔞 | Avoid relationships based on benefit binding |
| - Great Waste (Dahao) | Tendency towards wastefulness 💸 | Enforce savings + consumption audit |
| - Official Seal (Guanfu) | Legal risks ⚖️ | Professional review of contract terms required |
Special Note for Women:
The combination of Peach Blossom and Great Waste easily triggers emotional disputes. However, if simultaneously encountering noble Lu (e.g., combining with Proper Seal), the situation can be reversed through one's own abilities (e.g., rising from grassroots to management).
Tsinghua University's Systems Theory Thought in Traditional Mathematical Philosophy (2021) points out: The structure of the Three Combinations Bureau conforms to the "negative feedback regulation" model in cybernetics. The restraint of the Chen Earth reservoir on Zi Water is a classic case.
🌊 Key Tenet: The Three Combinations Bureau is not a mystical force, but rather an energy flow equation deduced by ancient people using symbols. Contemporary application focuses on grasping the three principles of "completeness → collaboration → stage progression," projecting them into fields like career planning and resource management.
