When determining burial sites through divination, the optimal location is identified based on the position and five-element attribute of the "Shi Yao" (world line) in the hexagram:
🌱 If the Shi Yao is in the first or second line, the site should be in a low area.
⛰ If the Shi Yao is in the fifth or sixth line, the site should be in a high area.
🔄 If the Shi Yao is in the third or fourth line, the site should be in a mid-level area.
If the Shi Yao belongs to Water (🌊), the site should be near water or low-lying land.
If the Shi Yao belongs to Earth (⛰), the site should be on a high mound or earth hill.
If the Shi Yao belongs to Wood (e.g., Yin Wood, 🌳), the site should be in an area with lush vegetation.
If the Shi Yao belongs to Metal (e.g., Shen or You, 💎), the site should be in a rocky or stone-filled area.
If the Shi Yao belongs to Fire (🔥), the site should be in a dry, scorched area with red soil, barren earth, or withered vegetation.
For example, on the day of Yisi in the month of Wei, a divination was performed to determine a burial site, resulting in the Da Zhuang hexagram. The hexagram showed the Shi Yao in the fourth line (Parent Wu Fire holding the Shi Yao), indicating the site should be in a mid-level area. Due to the Wu Fire attribute, I recommended inspecting the mid-level area, where a unique spot with withered vegetation and a few red wildflowers was found—a feature absent elsewhere. I concluded this was the acupoint and predicted that digging would reveal an earthen site. Initially skeptical, the client agreed to a coin verification test: a coin marked with red sand was mixed into hundreds of others, and after prayers at an incense altar, the coins were scattered. The marked coin landed precisely under the red flowers. Upon digging, only a small area of soil was found within a zhang (about 3.3 meters) radius, surrounded entirely by stones. The following year, the client was promoted to a high official position, and both of his sons passed the imperial examinations within five years.
