夫观小儿之命，如种花木之法。善培养者，则根苗茂盛，花果兴隆；不善培养者反是。何以言之？凡人种花木，必以土栽培其根，根实则苗盛；必以水浇灌其体，体壮则花茂；赖阳火温照其花，花实则果成；假金刃修伐其枝，枝清则本固。设若土虚根浅，水少苗枯，日暴花焦，风摧果落，是皆失中和培养之气，其花木安有不枯之理乎？人之八字，以年为根，月为苗，日为花，时为果，其理皆然。故推小儿之命，要日干有气，月令生扶，年上栽根，印绶无伤，财官有制，七煞得化，伤官遇合，气禀中和，不值刑冲破害，此则易养长寿之命。如煞重身轻，财多身弱，伤官迭遇，食神重逢，日干或旺甚无依，或太柔少印，气失中和，柱中有刑冲破害，此则难养促寿之命。二者类如栽培之法。
又曰：小儿之命，当论时辰为正，先看关煞，次看格局。日主强财官旺，有关无煞，日主弱财官少，常病易养；日干弱财官多，有煞有关，难养。夫关者何也？即偏官为关，偏财为煞。专以日干为主，取生成之数断之。关者，譬如今之关隘，乃险阻之地。人至关，非明文不敢私渡，违者必致其祸。小儿命犯此关，则为不利。柱中日干强健，制伏纯粹，印绶无伤，如有明文之类，通达顺遂，易养长寿。反之则否。
子平之关只以煞论。假如初生小儿甲日者，庚为关，柱有戊土党煞，此为关重无财。日主健旺得印生解化者，关轻无害。甲日见庚九岁关，丁见癸为六岁关，戊见甲为三岁关，丙见壬为一岁关，壬见戊为五岁关，癸见己为半岁关。古有占男女生时之日阴阳贵贱法。如金命，天阴生，主官贵相；昏暗贫贱；不问大小风起，不长寿；有雨雪，主心善孝顺。
木命，天阴生，大富；晴朗，有官，长寿；天昏，衣食平微，短命；有雪雨，身贵孝顺。水命，天阴生，心恶，倘来衣食；明朗，大贵；昏暗，短命，贫贱；有风起，久后贵人提携。火命，天阴生，大富；晴朗，虽富寿夭；昏暗，有官分；不问大小风起，有衣食；大雪，短命；微雪雨，年至五十左右，有病。土命，天阴，不过十五岁死；微雨，不过三十岁，大富；昏暗，富贵，有官分，寿却夭；大风忤逆，短命；雨雪，有外财；晴朗，富贵久远。
凡小儿生时是辰戌丑未，又四柱中多墓，主过房；带午未多者，名执拗煞，主为性执拗。戌多者亦然；带子亥多，主疝气偏坠，是子时者无不应，壬子、丙子尤紧；生时与胎同在辰上者亦然；带火多，主少年浓血之灾；带丁午多，有未字者，主头大，害疮疖，或疤痕，或秃疮，大人脑疽。四孟月上带金火相克，多疮疖惊疾；金水火相克制，主剥皮疮灾；金水多主晚语见木主早语。五行全者，主少便清俊伶俐，是夙有灵骨。五行自生月至时上以次求生旺少刑冲者吉，主长寿，成器人也。反是则夭，纵使福神多有救，少年当十生九死，及至成人，亦非上寿。益禀五行生旺则气实，气实则寿长；五行死绝则气薄，气薄则短夭。
凡月日时支干支错乱而重见太岁，曰重元星，主过房寄生螟蛉之子。初生或食神重迭，或偏印太旺，皆主无乳。犯五重羊刃，名曰满盘刃。多养不成，更时带刑害者，决死。女儿差慢，终不免产厄而死。生时见官符，父有公讼，母有惊恐；咸池重合，不得亲父母养育，或非嫡母所生；重迭见空亡，主惊颠失坠，克父母。生时犯空亡及自死绝者，七岁前赢疾，七岁后徒肥。凡俗推小儿正否，命见孤辰、寡宿，多隔房异宅，势不行气不转，幼离父母。如庚辰金见己巳火，金气转于十二支，则有火截，所以气不转。余依此推。
或问：偶然同产一母，所生何以别贵贱荣枯？答曰，凡一时有八刻十二分，故有浅深、前后、吉凶不同。其有同时同母所生，须分浅深及日时之阴阳。如阳日时，兄胜；阴日时，弟胜。浅则占先时之气，深则占后时之气。古歌云：双生之法有奇门，欲验荣枯视日辰；阴日弟强兄必弱，阳时兄贵弟必贫。又一说：一时分方向，如木命向东方者受生气，向西方者受克生，贵贱寿夭以是别之。余闻三河王氏兄弟双生，弟先中，兄后中，功名寿夭，大率相似，而兄竟不如弟。颖州李氏兄弟双生，因差一时，故弟登甲科，兄只秀才。考其八字，果如前说。
Assessing a child's fate is akin to cultivating plants. A skilled cultivator nurtures strong roots and thriving growth, yielding abundant flowers and fruits; an unskilled one achieves the opposite. Just as planting flowers requires rich soil to anchor roots 🌱, clear water to nourish the body 💧, sunlight to warm the blossoms 🔥, and metal shears to prune branches ✂️ to ensure a solid foundation. If the soil is weak and roots shallow, water scarce and seedlings withered, scorching sun burning flowers, or strong winds causing fruit to fall—all stem from imbalance and poor nourishment. How can the plant not wither?
In a person's Bazi: The year pillar is the root, the month pillar the seedling, the day pillar the flower, and the hour pillar the fruit. To analyze a child's fate, one must check:
✅ The day stem has vitality, is supported by the month branch, and anchored by the year pillar.
✅ The Seal star is unharmed, Wealth and Officer stars are controlled, the Seven Killings star is transformed or drained, and the Hurting Officer star is restrained or harmonized.
✅ The five elements are balanced and harmonious, without clashes, conflicts, breaks, or harms → Easy to raise and long-lived.
❌ Heavy Killing with weak self, excessive Wealth weakening the self, multiple Hurting Officers, the day stem excessively strong without support or excessively weak with few Seals.
❌ Pillars contain clashes, conflicts, breaks, or harms → Difficult to raise and prone to early demise.
In children's fate analysis, the hour pillar is pivotal. First examine the Pass Barriers and Killings (Seven Killings as the Barrier, Partial Wealth as the Killing), then assess the overall pattern. Pass Barriers are like dangerous passes, requiring a "clearance document" (strong day master + proper control/transformation) to ensure safety; otherwise, hidden crises lurk.
| Fate Pattern Characteristics | Parenting Suggestions |
|---|---|
| Weak Day Stem + Abundant Wealth/Officer + Barriers/Killings | Regular pediatric check-ups, avoid excessive early education. |
| Excessive Fire Element Uncontrolled | Guard against febrile convulsions, focus protection in summer. |
| Many Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei in Hour Pillar | Foster independence, or consider boarding school education. |
The essence of "Pass Barriers and Killings" is a metaphor for growth thresholds—the points of conflict in the fate chart are precisely opportunities to stimulate potential. For example, transformed Seven Killings can become leadership ability, and harmonized Hurting Officer can turn into creativity.
Analysis of Original Fate Examples:
For a Jia day master, encountering Geng is a barrier at age nine.
**Interpretation**: Geng Metal as the Seven Killings barrier; guard against physical injuries/respiratory illnesses around age nine.
For a Ding day master, encountering Gui is a barrier at age six.
**Interpretation**: Gui Water overcomes Ding Fire; pay attention to vision protection and emotional guidance at age six.
For a Wu day master, encountering Jia is a barrier at age three.
**Interpretation**: Jia Wood overcomes Wu Earth; focus on gastrointestinal health before age three.
Insight from a Twin Case:
Although the Wang brothers were born to the same mother, because the younger brother was born in the Yin hour (Yang hour) and the elder in the Chou hour (Yin hour), differences in energy accumulation led to diverging development paths. Modern interpretation could be: The sequence of birth timing affects intrauterine nutrient distribution and biological rhythms.
