《珞录子》曰：“奇为贵也；奇者，异也。”谓物以贵为奇也。乙丙丁出于贵人干德配支之妙，阴贵甲德起子，则乙德在丑，丙德在寅，丁德在卯，三干相连而无间。阴贵甲德起申、乙在未，丙在午，丁在已，三间相连而无间，以其随贵人在天，故曰“天上三奇”，十干惟此为异，余则或间罗网，或间天空，或不重临，又不相联，不可以为奇。《玉霄宝鉴》谓古人以正月为岁之始，日出于乙，故以乙为日奇；老人星见为瑞，见于丁位，故以丁为星奇；月照夜到丙位而天下明，故以丙为月奇。若甲戊庚亦以为天上三奇，以甲戊庚俱临丑未，乃贵人家在斗牛之次，出乎井鬼之舍，先后天起贵而三干适临之，与别干不同，其理亦通。《三车一览》以甲为阳木之魁，戊为阳土之君，庚为阳金之精，地有此三物为奇，谓之地之奇，其说太凿，《太乙经》以辛壬癸为水奇，谓之人间三奇，其说无据，但辛壬癸天干连珠，谓之三台，亦为难得。《紫虚局》又有四奇之说。夫奇，奇数也，四则偶矣，谓之奇，可乎？三奇要顺布，不欲倒乱，如乙丙丁、甲戊庚，天干年月日时顺布为吉。《广录》又以乙人丙月丁时，是乙生丙丁，秀气下降，主平常。若乙时丙日丁年，是秀气上达，反为贵，似又不论顺逆。甲戊庚却以顺者为贵，逆者福慢，乱者不寿，气清则贵，气浊则富。经曰：五行各有奇仪，须分逆顺。若日月倒乱，得顺三奇，亦不谓倒命。有三奇，要得体得地，不欲失时。如乙丙丁夜生，甲戊庚昼生，得体；乙丙丁柱有亥，则三光有所依附，甲戊庚柱有申，则三物有所凭籍；或乙丙丁得丑寅卯未午巳，甲戊庚得丑未金，皆为得地。三奇再遇三合，如乙丙丁得金水局，甲戊庚得水火局。又遇六仪，甲子旬戊，甲戌旬己，甲申旬庚，甲午旬辛，甲辰旬壬，甲寅旬癸，俱吉。《珞录子》云：“重犯奇仪，蕴藉抱出群之器。”《遁甲》曰：“顺布三奇，逆六仪。”如命出甲子、甲申二旬遇甲戊庚，是重犯奇仪也。
凡命遇三奇，主人精神异常，襟怀卓越，好奇尚大，博学多能。带天乙贵者，勋业超群；带天月二德者，凶灾不犯。带六仪者，才智出类。带三合入局者，国家柱石，带官符劫煞者，器识宏远。带空亡生旺者，脱尘离俗，富贵不淫；威武不屈，值元辰、咸池、冲破、天罗地网者，为无用。论三奇，太岁不带而月日时带着，孤独。诗曰：“顺十干神乙丙丁，神童及第播声名；日时禄马公卿煞，换武除文佐圣明。”又曰：“顺十干神甲戊庚，兼得长生丙府名；若然无禄兼无马，只是财中蓄积人。”又曰：“三奇须是重逢贵，方是荣华福寿人；只有空奇无贵地，贫穷下贱被欺凌。”又曰：“乙丙丁、甲戊庚，上局相生生复生，不是蓬莱三岛客，也应金殿玉阶行。”又曰：“欲识岩廊官赫奕，名仙多诞癸壬辛，三奇玉藉传消息，轻薄时师莫与评。”合诸诗观三奇，喜忌见矣。
Overall Paraphrase
Luo Lu Zi states: "'Excellence' represents nobility and extraordinariness." The three heavenly stems Yi, Bing, and Ding perfectly align with the stars of nobility, forming the "Three Excellences of Heaven" — when the virtue of the noble Yin Jia begins at Zi, then Yi's virtue is at Chou, Bing's at Yin, and Ding's at Mao, forming an unbroken sequence; or when Jia's virtue begins at Shen, then Yi is at Wei, Bing at Wu, and Ding at Si, also closely connected. This linkage with celestial nobility makes them unique. Other combinations of heavenly stems may be obstructed by the "net" 🌐 or are loose and disordered, and thus are not called "excellences." Yu Xiao Bao Jian explains from natural phenomena: the first month of the year is the beginning, with the sunrise direction belonging to Yi (🌞 Sun Excellence); the auspicious Canopus star appears in the Ding position (✨ Star Excellence); and moonlight reaches the Bing position, illuminating the earth (🌙 Moon Excellence). Although Jia, Wu, and Geng are not traditional Three Excellences, because they simultaneously occupy noble positions Chou and Wei, they can also be considered special Three Excellences.
If a destiny chart encounters the Three Excellences, it indicates a person of exceptional talent and versatile abilities:
| Matching Element | Auspicious Sign | Ominous Sign |
|---|---|---|
| Heavenly Yi Noble | Extraordinary achievements | — |
| Heavenly and Lunar Virtues | Avoids disasters | — |
| Six Ceremonies | Outstanding talent and wisdom | — |
| Empty Death + Flourishing | Indifferent to fame and wealth | Yuan Chen / Xian Chi / Celestial and Earthly Net |
| Three Harmony Combination | Pillar of the state | Disorderly arrangement |
Poetic verses reveal the key: "Sequentially arranged Three Excellences" bring great fame, but without Lu and Ma support, they mainly indicate wealth accumulation 💰; if "repeatedly violating Qi and Yi" (e.g., Wu from the Jia Zi cycle + Geng from the Jia Shen cycle), it instead forms an extraordinary capacity.
The Three Excellences symbolize extraordinary combinations of life energy. Their value depends on "sequential arrangement and gaining position" — meaning the heavenly stems are arranged in order and harmonize with the temporal and spatial environment, reflecting the concept of unity between heaven and humanity.
"Sequential arrangement" metaphorically represents natural laws: the rising of the sun and setting of the moon are irreversible, echoing the modern decision-making wisdom of "going with the flow" — finding orderly paths amidst change.
