大抵生旺才主长大，死绝者主矮小，若有杀临之，则不在此限，又从杀上断也，大木要瘦长，金方矮，土肥厚骨麤,水肥壮骨细，火长筋骨麤，木青，金白，土黄，水黑，火赤，若有克则从所克之五行断其形状颜色，凡断此取日时纳音，看其有克无克，并神杀所临，有气无气断其形状情性，万不失一也。
【推人性形】此格只日时上
命若入格而逢生旺者，主为性明白，遇物不逆，动必应机，言语声高，豁达大度，临事能断，公正不疑，犯难不畏，平生不以财物为吝，好施与，不私己，奢泰欢乐多惰，尚义平生无滞常防，有不善终之患，若命入贵格，而逢死绝者，主为性寡合，机深意密，多疑足计，动拘礼节，谨慎行止，修饰仪貌（容），常自检绝不妄施设，常防有阴谋之患，若小人之命，【已】入残局，而逢生旺者，主性气无常，不自尊检，为事不顾危亡，好争闘，恃强压弱，亲近恶党，不事家业，必竟不得善终也，死绝则为性淫邪，勤必巧为，畜缩执拗，学动修饰，事美言辞，好自矜卫，临事无断，少是多非，一生无立，以上如入至贵之局，其性行一皆如前，若常贵之流，并或兼此。（并林开五命）
【五行得地】
智高量远，盖因水处深源；笃信守仁，盖为土成山岳；仁慈敏厚，木乘甲乙之方，性速辨明，火应丙丁离位；誉高羲重，因金归合庚辛。虚于中者，正性不移，或盛或衰，性情变易。
【五行失地】
水乘衰败，性昏无赖；土力太微，蔽执寡用；木归蹇地，太柔而治事无规。火数未兴，小辨而大伤无决；金当浅薄，虽羲而有始无终。不及太过，皆能为凶。（并宰公要诀）
文章明敏兮，定须火盛；威武刚烈兮，乃是金多。木盛则怀恻隐之心，水多则抱机巧之智，至土之性，最重为贵。（指迷赋）
凡命五行生旺者，主好事华饰，胸中无物，亦主好色，火命尤紧，死绝相尅入墓者，多好禅道，归根複本也。（广信集）
【自绝五位五般情】
凡五行有自死自绝，且如水遇乙卯自死，癸巳自绝。木遇庚申自绝，壬午自死。张白先生五命云：日时犯着一位，号曰夺印杀，作官须有一失，此意乃更说五性者，金主羲，自绝则寡羲；木主仁，自绝则不仁，水主智，遇绝则失智；火主礼，自绝则无礼；土主信，自绝则寡信。逐五行详断之，凡五行如先生旺、后死绝，则为多鄙。
阳止正而皆在内，丙逢多者生重顶，更加冲破受尅时，脑大侏儒寿何永。
凡十干至丙，乃阳止至正，多丙正则有双顶而生，加冲破受尅，必有双顶，不成或不正，额阔头大，不然矮小，兼亦无寿。
时居卯酉斗日月，眼目断之定亲切。
卯酉是日月出入之门，犯卯酉时生，眼目必主圆大。
卯酉平生好徙移，或多道路或亲离，若然带杀加刑尅，眼大难全信有之。
凡命犯卯酉者，性不定，好移徙，或多在道路，非依旧祖离骨肉，更带杀兼有刑破，必损目，不然目中有翳或目大。（并沉芝源髓）
言词狡猾，诞时合值六虚。
六虚住处，曰谩语神，凡人得之，必好撰饰语词，重併遇者，必狡猾。（壶中子）
三命钤云：六虚者，取空亡对冲之辰，谓如甲子旬中辰巳是也，主平生妨尅尊亲，漂流他国。
李九万云：六虚主好奢华，缘饰文辞，作事故多虚声。
Overall Paraphrased Translation
This chapter systematically explains how the Five Elements' energy states influence human physique and personality traits: 🌱 Those in a thriving state are usually tall and open-minded; 💀 those in a withered state tend to be shorter and more suspicious. However, if accompanied by the Seven Killings, the interpretation differs. The characteristics of the Five Elements manifest as follows: Wood-type individuals are slender, Metal-type individuals are square and short, Earth-type individuals are stout with thick bones, Water-type individuals are robust with fine bones, and Fire-type individuals are tall with strong sinews and bones. Colors correspond as follows: Wood-green, Metal-white, Earth-yellow, Water-black, Fire-red. If an element is overcome, the physique and color are interpreted based on the overcoming element. Judgments require synthesizing the Day and Hour Na Yin and the strength of Shen Sha, ensuring high accuracy.
Personality aspects:
When the Five Elements are in their favorable state (thriving):
💧 Deep Water signifies high wisdom and foresight, ⛰ Earth forming a mountain denotes trustworthiness and benevolence, 🌳 Wood riding on Jia and Yi embodies kindness and generosity, 🔥 Fire approaching the Li position brings quick discernment, ⚔️ Metal returning to Geng and Xin signifies high reputation and strong righteousness.
When the Five Elements are in an unfavorable state (decline):
💧 Weak Water leads to foolishness and unreliability, ⛰ Feeble Earth results in stubbornness and uselessness, 🌳 Stagnant Wood causes softness and lack of discipline, 🔥 Diminished Fire brings eloquence without decisiveness, ⚔️ Superficial Metal leads to righteousness without follow-through.
Special configurations:
The energy states of the Five Elements (thriving/withered/favorable/unfavorable) directly correlate with physique, skin color, personality, and life trajectory. Na Yin and Shen Sha are key elements for precise interpretation and must be analyzed in conjunction with the Day and Hour Pillars.
The Five Elements system is essentially an ancient, simplistic systems theory regarding the unity of "energy-matter-behavior." Its value lies not in fatalism but in providing a cognitive framework of dynamic balance—everything can be categorized and interacts, and both prosperity and decline contain opportunities for transformation.
Note: This chapter’s content requires analysis based on specific Eight Characters, avoiding judgments based on single factors. Modern applications should focus on interpreting energy trends rather than mechanistic fatalism.
