此格有四日：庚辰、壬辰、戊戌、庚戌。辰为天罡，戌为河魁，乃阴阳绝灭之地，故名。独除甲干，以居干之首，在辰为青龙，在戊为禄堂，有吉而无凶故也。此格须迭化重逢日位，加临者众，以伏为贵。经云：魁罡聚众，发福非常，主为人性格聪明，文章振发，临事果断，秉权好杀。赋云：魁罡性严有操持，而为人聪敏是也。运行身旺，发福百端，一见财官，祸患立至，或带刑煞尤甚，倘日位独处，刑冲克制重临，必是小人，刑责不巳，穷必彻骨，运临财官旺处，主防奇祸。若月令见财官印绶，日主一位，即以财官印食取用，虽微有破败，财官印食得位，亦无大害，须斟酌提纲，当用者取之，不可拘以小节。又曰：庚戌、庚辰二日，无官星，若魁罡重迭有情，主富高于名，但见财则不成局，岁运再见财旺之乡，祸不可测。庚辰日生九月，虽辰戌相冲，运行南方，柱中有火，亦可言贵。庚戌日生三月，纵有官星印绶亦不用，盖庚用戌中火为官库，戊土为印，辰中癸水伤官，又泄庚气，不成格矣。戊戌日无财不贵，不宜见官，若魁罡重迭有情，富贵两全。壬辰日怕见财官，大喜印绶、却财与煞，岁运同。又曰：辰是水库属天罡，戌是火库属地魁，辰戌相见，为天冲地击。《子平总论》云：身值天罡地魁，衰则彻骨贫寒，强则绝伦贵显。
诗曰：壬辰庚戌与庚辰，戊戌魁罡四座神，不见财官刑煞并，身行旺地贵夫伦。
又：魁罡四日最为先，迭迭相逢掌大权，庚戌庚辰怕官显，戊戌壬辰畏财连。
又：魁罡四柱日多同，贵气朝来在此中，日主独逢冲克重，财官显露祸无穷。
按此格，俱用辰戌，独天干少异，内庚辰二日，既曰日德，又曰魁罡，论其格局，迥然不同，不必拘论。如张时佥事：庚午、丁亥、戊戌、丙辰；刘大受少卿：丁亥、癸丑、庚戌、戊寅，二命魁罡日，只取财官印是也。
The Kui Gang pattern includes four specific day pillars: Geng Chen, Ren Chen, Wu Xu, and Geng Xu. Chen symbolizes Tian Gang (the extreme of Yang energy), while Xu symbolizes He Kui (the extreme of Yin energy). Both are locations of extreme Yin-Yang energy, hence the name "Kui Gang." This pattern requires the day pillar's heavenly stem and earthly branch to appear repeatedly and be reinforced by other pillars, with "hidden and not exposed" being the mark of nobility. Ancient texts state: When Kui Gang converges, fortune becomes extraordinary; the individual is often intelligent, decisive, possesses outstanding literary talent, excels at wielding authority but has a strong and fiery temperament. The poetic description, "stern in nature with strong principles, intelligent as a person," captures its essence.
When luck moves to a period where the Day Master is strong and vigorous, blessings are profound. However, encountering Wealth Stars or Officer Stars can easily invite disaster (especially when combined with penalties and killing stars, making it even more severe). If the day pillar stands isolated and unsupported, and suffers from penalties, clashes, restraint, or control, the individual may degenerate into a petty person, plagued by poverty and hardship. During luck periods dominated by wealth and office, one must guard against unforeseen calamities. If the Month Branch carries wealth, office, or seal stars, and the Day Master is the only one of its kind, then the fate should be analyzed according to the wealth-office-seal pattern. Even slight damage is not a major issue—the key monthly factors must be flexibly weighed, not rigidly adhering to minor details.
Details for Specific Day Pillars:
Chen is the treasury of Water (Tian Gang 🔥), Xu is the treasury of Fire (Di Kui ⛰). The clash between Chen and Xu is "Heaven clashes, Earth strikes." Therefore, a weak body encountering Kui Gang inevitably leads to utter poverty, while a strong body leads to extraordinary nobility and prominence.
Poetic Summary:
Ren Chen, Geng Xu, and Geng Chen, Wu Xu—Kui Gang's four deities appear,
Without wealth, office, penalties, or killing stars combined, with the body moving in a prosperous land, nobility is peerless.The four Kui Gang days are foremost; repeatedly meeting them grants great authority.
Geng Xu and Geng Chen fear the officer's appearance 🔥, Wu Xu and Ren Chen dread wealth's connection 💧.
Example Fate Analyses:
Kui Gang reveals the duality of extreme energy fields: Chen and Xu are like the two poles of heaven and earth, endowing the individual with extraordinary drive alongside inherent risks. The key to its nobility or baseness lies in—
The clash between Chen and Xu in Kui Gang is essentially the metaphysical expression of the law of entropy increase—the more a system tends toward extremes (places of extinction), the higher the cost of maintaining stability. The so-called "extraordinary flourishing of fortune" and "unpredictable disaster" are actually two phases of the same energy, reminding us:
True strength lies in mastering extremes, not eliminating them, just as nuclear energy can both generate electricity and destroy cities.
