凡用神不现，即以日月为用神，倘日月非用神者，则于本宫首卦求之，因本宫首卦父子财官六亲俱备之故耳。

若占妻财，取财爻为用神。此姤卦系乾宫之卦，以寅卯木爻为妻财。今六爻并无寅卯，即是用神不上卦，如于寅卯月占者，则以日月为用神，倘非寅卯月，须在宫首卦之乾为天卦内寻之。

此卦寅木妻财在二爻，即以此寅木伏于姤卦亥水之下，姤卦二爻之亥水即为飞神，寅木妻财即为伏神。亥水而生寅木，谓之飞来生伏得长生，此乃用神不现，寻得伏神而遇生扶，无用亦为有用，便作吉断，仿此。

如占子孙，取子孙为用神。此系乾宫卦，水为子孙，以亥子水为子孙。今六爻并无亥子，亦是子孙不现，倘在亥子月日占者，即以月日为用神，若非亥子月日，亦在乾为天卦内寻之，乾为天子水子孙在初爻，以之伏于遁卦初爻辰土之下，辰土即是飞神，子水便是伏神，此乃飞来克伏，谓之飞克伏神遭克害，名为伏神受制，有用亦无用矣，即作凶推，余仿此。

【新评释】：此非正理，此子孙虽伏，若得日月为金生之，也为有用，不可以以凶推。日月五行与用神一致，仍须求用神伏藏，伏藏关系到用神的应期，有时飞神和伏神的关系有许多象的东西在里面，可以利用飞伏的关系断出许多事来，因此用神不上卦时必须求伏藏。

以野鹤之法，卦中没有妻财，日辰为财星，不必寻伏，以日辰亥水为用。卦中兄弟丑土虽然动而化进，但丑土月破，又逢空亡，无力克用，同时日为用神，书云：“爻伤日月徒手其名”，丑土不能克日，婚姻应以吉断。与实际不符。

以我之法，卦无妻财，寻伏藏。妻财子水伏在五爻，妻财子水即是用神。用神得日辰帮扶，又得世爻发动生之为旺。伏神为子水，伏藏应出现，甲子年此人二十四周岁，正是适婚年龄，断其甲子年结婚。因兄弟丑土动而克用神，虽然空破，乙丑年实空实破，元神子孙入墓，不能生用神，断其结婚第二年就和妻子发生矛盾。世爻生用神，他很喜欢他妻子。丙寅年冲去元神，自己对妻子也失去爱意，而感情破裂。丑土兄弟对用神克中带合，他妻子是被人抢走的。丙子年用神再次为伏藏逢出现，又有了女友。丁丑年兄弟也再次出空实破，月建克用，预测时，二人正是关系紧张，矛盾重重之时。父母巳火临玄武暗动，与世爻相合，二人已经同居。我断其丑月必然分手。结果又验。

从此例可知，用神临日月仍需要找伏藏。他的妻子和丙子年的女友都是被人夺走的，此乃兄弟丑土合用神子水之应，若以日辰亥水为用，就没有了这曾意思。而他的两次婚姻机遇都应在子年，这也与伏神有很大的关系。

伏神有用者有六：伏神得日月生者，一也；伏神旺相者，二也；伏神得飞神生者，三也；伏神得动爻生者，四也；伏神得遇日月动爻冲克飞神者，五也；伏神得遇飞神空破休囚墓绝者，六也。

此六者皆有用之伏神也，虽曰不现亦如现矣。

《黄金策》曰：“空下伏神，易于引拨，”此论近理，但又不独飞神空亡而伏神得出，但得飞神临破、临绝、休囚、入墓，而伏神皆易出。何也？伏神在下，飞神在上，飞神既逢破墓衰空，虽有若无，所以伏神易于出现。

【新评释】：此说应验。常常见用神伏藏，日月皆克用神，飞神空亡多应事吉。但飞神为元神，空破则不宜。

例一，丑月乙未日，某男本人因与其他女的有暧昧关系被老婆发现，老婆生气出走，通过电话测老婆何时回家，会不会和自己离婚？我摇卦得风泽中孚变山火贲卦。

以妻财为用神。妻财卦中不现，伏于五爻之下，日月皆克用神，飞神绝之，动爻丑土克之，又是忌神持世，按古书之论，世克用神人不回。然理虽有法，卦需活断。飞神空亡，空下伏神易于引拔，三爻虽是忌神发动，但动化妻财，三爻为门，门动化妻财，妻子必然会回家。我断第二天，妻财逢长生，其老婆必回，卦变六合，不会与他离婚。

结果其妻子果然第二天回家，也没提出和他离婚。

此即飞神空亡之妙，也可以佐证下面伏神不得出之论。飞神绝之，日月克之，动爻也克之，而未见凶，非是理法不对，而是卦之微妙，常人难以把握。

又伏神终不得出者有五：伏神休囚无气者，一也；伏神被日月冲克者，二也；伏神被旺相之飞神克害者，三也；伏神墓绝于日月飞爻者，四也；伏神伏囚值旬空月破者，五也。

此五者乃无用之伏神也，虽有如无，终不能出。

《黄金策》曰：“伏居空地，事于心违。”余得验者，非此论也。凡用神旺相而遇旬空，出空之日则出矣。

占仆，以财爻为用神。而卯木妻财伏于二爻午火之下，午火为飞神，卯木为伏神。断曰：蹇卦申金持世，克制卯木，终不能逃。但因飞神午火之下，伏去生飞，名曰泄气，盗去财物，尽废于炉火之家，许甲子日拿获。

果于子日得信，窝赌于铁匠之家，申时擒获，连铁匠送官。夫应子日者，子水冲克午火之飞神，生起卯木之伏神故也。《黄金策》曰：“伏无提携终徒尔，飞不摧开亦枉然。”此之谓也。

予疑飞神午火既如铁匠，伏神卯木即是逃仆，至子日冲午，而刑卯，所以二人皆被仗责。

【新评释】：上卦为静卦，旺相之爻可克休囚之爻。卯木为用，受克得捕获，旺而得生，则难获。卦中兄弟申金两现而旺，飞神克世，是阻挡捕获逃仆之人，卦宫为金，金宫之火，应铁匠可也。子日冲去飞神，午火不能再庇护逃仆，子日应事，符合卦理。至于子日生卯之说为错解，子刑卯为正解。

译文

Overall Paraphrase
When the corresponding line (representing the matter inquired about) cannot be found in the hexagram, first check if the celestial stems or earthly branches of the day or month can serve as the corresponding line. If they cannot, refer to the hexagram of the original palace (the eight pure hexagrams), as these hexagrams contain all six relative lines.

For example, in the hexagram Heavenly Wind Gou (belonging to the Qian Palace):

If inquiring about wealth or a wife, the Wealth Line is used as the corresponding line. The Gou hexagram lacks the Wood lines (Yin or Mao, representing Wealth). If the divination is performed during the Yin or Mao month, the month’s branch can directly serve as the corresponding line. Otherwise, refer to the Qian Palace’s pure hexagram, Heaven as Qian, where the second line (Yin Wood Wealth) can be hidden beneath the second line of the Gou hexagram (Hai Water):
- 🌊 Hai Water is the Flying Line, 🌱 Yin Wood is the Hidden Line.
- Hai Water generates Yin Wood, known as "the Flying Line generates the Hidden Line, granting longevity." This is an auspicious sign, indicating that although the Hidden Line is concealed, it receives support and should be interpreted favorably.

Conversely, in the hexagram Heavenly Mountain Dun (also belonging to the Qian Palace):

If inquiring about offspring, the Water line is used as the corresponding line. The Dun hexagram lacks Hai or Zi Water. If the divination is not performed during the Hai or Zi month or day, refer to the first line of Heaven as Qian (Zi Water Offspring), which can be hidden beneath the first line of the Dun hexagram (Chen Earth):
- ⛰ Chen Earth is the Flying Line, 🌊 Zi Water is the Hidden Line.
- Chen Earth restrains Zi Water, known as "the Flying Line restrains the Hidden Line, causing harm." This indicates the Hidden Line is suppressed, an inauspicious sign.

However, note: The strength of the Hidden Line must be assessed comprehensively. Even if the Flying Line restrains the Hidden Line, if the day or month supports the Hidden Line, the outcome can still be auspicious (as explained in the new commentary).

🧠 In-Depth Understanding

Core Concepts 💡

The Flying and Hidden relationship is key to the hexagram’s deeper structure. The Hidden Line lies beneath the Flying Line, and their generative or restraining relationship determines the trend of auspiciousness or inauspiciousness.
If the corresponding line is absent, seek the Hidden Line. Do not ignore the Hidden Line simply because the day or month serves as the corresponding line (e.g., in the marriage hexagram example, the Hidden Line Zi Water reveals the wife being taken away, with the event occurring in the Zi year).
Conditions for the Hidden Line to emerge: Receiving support, the Flying Line being weak or empty, or encountering clashes or specific time periods can all trigger the Hidden Line to manifest its influence.

Modern Interpretation 🌟

The Flying and Hidden mechanism is analogous to the relationship between "explicit information" and "implicit background":
- The Flying Line represents surface phenomena (e.g., conflicts in a marriage), while the Hidden Line represents underlying causes (e.g., emotional core issues or third-party interference).
Timing of events: The earthly branch of the Hidden Line often indicates the year or month when the event will occur (e.g., a Hidden Zi Water line suggests the event will happen in a Zi year).
Decision-making reference:
- If the Hidden Line receives support (e.g., the Flying Line generates it, or the day/month supports it), it hints at hidden opportunities or turning points.
- If the Hidden Line is restrained (e.g., the Flying Line restrains it, or the day/month restrains it), potential risks or obstacles must be警惕ed.

Practical Value ⚡

Workplace and relationships:
- The example of "Wealth Line hidden" corresponds to a partner being taken away, which can be analogous to business allies being sought by competitors, highlighting the need to strengthen relationships proactively.
Health predictions:
- If the corresponding line is strong but meets a combination (e.g., a six-harmony hexagram), it suggests the illness may recur (e.g., a stomach bleeding patient ultimately dying of liver disease).
Multi-hexagram verification:
- If a single hexagram is ambiguous, additional divinations can provide confirmation (e.g., three consecutive divinations for a father’s illness), avoiding the one-sidedness of a single interpretation.

Philosophical Reflection 🤔

Interplay of hidden and visible: The Flying and Hidden structure reflects the dialectical unity of "visible and invisible," reminding us to consider both surface and underlying factors in real-world issues.
Dynamic balance: The emergence of the Hidden Line requires timing (clashes, emptiness, or support), echoing the wisdom of "not forcing outcomes when conditions are immature, as success will come naturally when the time is ripe."

📚 Related Knowledge

Key Concepts

Pure hexagram of the original palace: The eight pure hexagrams (e.g., Heaven as Qian, Earth as Kun) contain all six relative lines and are the source for seeking Hidden Lines.
Flying and Hidden Lines:
- Flying Line: The visible line in the hexagram.
- Hidden Line: The line borrowed from the pure hexagram and hidden beneath the Flying Line.
Conditions for triggering the Hidden Line: If the Flying Line is empty, broken, or weak, or if the day, month, or moving lines clash with or restrain the Flying Line, the Hidden Line is more likely to emerge.

Modern Research

Application of the Flying and Hidden mechanism in psychological divination: The Hidden Line can reflect subconscious motives, while the Flying Line represents conscious behavior (e.g., "Sibling Line moving to combine with Wealth Line"暗示s a competitive mindset).
Data-driven decision models: Transforming the generative or restraining relationships of Flying and Hidden Lines into risk weights (e.g., a restrained Hidden Line increases risk value by 30%) to assist quantitative analysis.

🧩 Structured Components (Case Embedding)

Example 1: Marriage Inquiry (Qian造)

Example 2: Father’s Illness Inquiry (Qian造)

Example 3: Escaped Servant Inquiry

Example 4: Colleague’s Illness Inquiry (Kun造)

⚠️ Key Reminders (Integrating New Commentary Insights)

Day and month are not omnipotent: Even if the day or month serves as the corresponding line, the Hidden Line must still be checked (e.g., the Hidden Zi Water in the marriage hexagram reveals the timing of the wife being taken away).
Empty Flying Line facilitates Hidden Line emergence: When the Flying Line is empty, broken, or weak, the Hidden Line is more likely to exert its influence (e.g., an empty Flying Line in the wife’s departure hexagram反而 indicates auspiciousness).
Multi-hexagram verification surpasses single interpretation: For ambiguous cases, perform multiple divinations (e.g., three consecutive divinations for a father’s illness) to ensure comprehensive and accurate judgment.
Hidden Line timing takes priority: The earthly branch of the Hidden Line often indicates the year or month of the event (e.g., a Hidden Zi Water line suggests the event will occur in a Zi year).
