剑锋金者，白帝司权，刚由百炼，红光射于斗牛，白刃凝于霜雪。此金造化，非水不能生，大溪、海水，日时相逢为上格；井泉、涧下，有霹雳助或得乙卯之雷方好，若无雷雳，亦金白水清格也。秋生更吉，日时遇长流在壬辰，为宝剑化为青龙，癸巳亦得。此剑不能通变。然癸丑为剑气冲头，最吉。松柏、杨柳亦吉，但多聚散；大林、平地嫌有土制，主劳苦。火见神龙，阴阳交遇，如壬申逢己丑、癸酉逢戊子，方为上格。遇天上、炉中二火，无水救则夭。诸土见皆不吉，以其埋没，只壁上、城头有磨锋淬砺之用，此二土则可。金喜同类，如壬申见壬申，癸酉见癸酉，有木制之，是谓盘根错节，所以别利器也。无木主带疾。大抵剑锋乃金之最利者，只宜水，不宜火刑，如见寅己三刑，全者大凶。
Sword Blade Metal represents the ultimate form of metal 🌬, symbolizing a hardened, tempered quality, its radiance like crimson flames illuminating the stars 🔥, its sharp edge akin to frost congealing on a blade ❄️. The formation of this metal relies on the nourishment of water 🌊: encountering Great Stream Water or Ocean Water in the Day or Hour Pillars is considered a superior configuration; Well Spring Water or Gully Stream Water ideally requires the assistance of Thunderclap Fire (or Yi Mao Thunder Fire), otherwise it forms the "Metal-White Water-Clear" pattern. Being born in autumn is more auspicious 🌾. Encountering Ren Chen Long Flowing Water in the Day or Hour Pillars symbolizes the sword transforming into a blue dragon 🐉 (Gui Si Water is also effective), but this metal's nature is fixed and inflexible. Gui Chou Water represents the sword's energy soaring to the heavens, the most auspicious; Pine and Cypress Wood or Willow Wood 🌱 are auspicious but prone to gathering and scattering; Great Forest Wood or Flatland Wood, due to earth's ⛰ restraint, indicate toil and hardship. Regarding fire 🔥, the interaction of Yin and Yang, such as Ren Shen meeting Ji Chou or Gui You meeting Wu Zi, constitutes the superior pattern; encountering Heaven Fire or Stove Fire without water for rescue is dangerous. An abundance of various earth elements is generally inauspicious (as it buries the metal nature), only Wall Earth or City Wall Earth can hone its sharp edge. Metal favors its own kind (e.g., Ren Shen meeting Ren Shen); having wood 🌱 for restraint can reveal the benefit of "intertwined roots"; lacking wood may lead to ailments. In summary, Sword Blade Metal is the sharpest metal, suited only for water 🌊 and not for the punishment of fire 🔥. If encountering the complete set of the Yin-Si three punishments, it indicates great misfortune.
Sword Blade Metal emphasizes the Five Elements philosophy of "extreme hardness requires softness to aid" – the ultimate sharpness of metal (🌬 rigid nature) must rely on the harmonizing influence of water (🌊 soft nature) to come to life. Simultaneously, it reveals the destiny principle of "balance and restraint": wood 🌱 can stimulate the metal's weapon-like qualities, but excessive fire 🔥 or earth ⛰ will damage its essence, reflecting the dynamic relationship of mutual generation and restraint among all things.
Sword Blade Metal metaphorically represents the dialectical unity of "sharpness and resilience" – personal strengths (like talent) require environmental nourishment (water 🌊) to endure, while excessive display (fire punishment 🔥) or suppression (earth burial ⛰) both lead to imbalance. This echoes the modern psychological theory of "strengths management": excellence requires a foundation (wood's 🌱 intertwined roots) and space (water's flow).
