四时之运，相生而成，故木生火，火生土，土生金，金生水，水复生木，即相生之序，循环迭运，而时行不匮。然而有生又必有克，生而不克，则四时亦不成矣。克者，所以节而止之，使之收敛，以为发泄之机，故曰“天地节而四时成”。即以木论，木盛于夏，杀于秋，杀者，使发泄于外者藏收内，是杀正所以为生，大易以收敛为性情之实，以兑为万物所说，至哉言乎！譬如人之养生，固以饮食为生，然使时时饮食，而不使稍饥以待将来，人寿其能久乎？是以四时之运，生与克同用，克与生同功。

徐注：“生与克同用，克与生同功”二语，实为至言。有春夏之阳和，而无秋冬之肃杀，则四时汪成；有印劫之生扶，而无煞食之克泄，则命理不成。故生扶与克泄，在命理之用，并无二致，归于中和而已。

然以五行而统论之，则水木相生，金木相克。以五行之阴阳而分配之，则生克之中，又有异同。此所以水同生木，而印有偏正；金同克木，而局有官煞也。印绶之中，偏正相似，生克之殊，可置勿论；而相克之内，一官一煞，淑慝判然，其理不可不细详也。

徐注：阴阳配合，与磁电之性相似。阳遇阳、阴遇阴则相拒，七煞枭印是也；阳遇阴、阴遇阳则相吸，财官印是也。印为生我，财为我克，或偏或正，气势虽有纯杂之殊，用法尚无大异。官煞，克我者也，淑慝回殊，不可不辨。比劫，同气也，食伤，我生者也，则又以同性为纯，异性为杂。纯杂之分关于用之强弱，此为研究命理者所不可不知也。

即以甲乙庚辛言之。甲者，阳木也，木之生气也；乙者，阴木也，木之形质也。庚者，阳金也，秋天肃杀之气也；辛者，阴金也，人间五金之质也。木之生气，寄于木而行于天，故逢秋天为官，而乙则反是，庚官而辛杀也。又以丙丁庚辛言之。丙者，阳火也，融和之气也；丁者，阴火也，薪传之火也。秋天肃杀之气，逢阳和而克去，而人间之金，不畏阳和，此庚以丙为杀，而辛以丙为官也。人间金铁之质，逢薪传之火而立化，而肃杀之气，不畏薪传之火。此所以辛以丁为杀，而庚以丁为官也。即此以推，而余者以相克可知矣。

徐注：此论官煞之大概也。然以乙为木之形质，辛为人间五金之质，丁为薪传之火，似未尽合。十干即五行，皆天行之气也。就气而分阴阳，岂有形质可言？譬如男女人之阴阳也，而男之中有阳刚急燥，有阴沉柔懦，女之中亦然，性质不同也。取譬之词，学者切勿执着。五行宜忌，全在配合，四时之宜忌，又各不同。
Overall Paraphrased Meaning
The cycle of the four seasons is formed through mutual generation—Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, and Water in turn generates Wood 🌱→🔥→⛰→⚔️→🌊, creating an endless loop. However, "generation" alone is not sufficient; there must also be "restriction" to regulate and consolidate, completing the full cycle of the seasons. Restriction, in essence, serves to foster better growth. For instance, the austere energy of autumn causes trees to conserve energy, storing vitality for the following year. This is analogous to human health: if one eats incessantly without leaving room for hunger, life may not be sustainable in the long run. Thus, "generation" and "restriction" complement each other and are equally important.
In destiny analysis, both support (generation) and restraint (restriction) are indispensable. If a birth chart only has the generative support of the印星 (Star of Nourishment) and比劫 (Companion Stars) but lacks the restrictive influence of官杀 (Stars of Authority and Oppression) and食伤 (Stars of Expression and Drain), it will struggle to form a coherent pattern. The key lies in achieving neutrality and balance ⚖️.
Delving deeper from the perspective of Yin and Yang: although Water can generate Wood, it is divided into偏印 (Partial Nourishment) and正印 (Direct Nourishment); Metal can restrict Wood, but it is categorized as正官 (Direct Authority) and七杀 (Oppressive Authority). The difference between the two types of Nourishment Stars is relatively minor, but the nature of Authority and Oppression Stars is entirely distinct—Direct Authority is benevolent, while Oppressive Authority is malevolent, and must be carefully discerned.
Taking the Heavenly Stems as an example:
Thus:
This illustrates: Differences in Yin-Yang attributes can completely alter the relationship of generation and restriction. Just like in human relationships, where like repels like and opposites attract, the distinction between auspicious and inauspicious outcomes in destiny analysis arises from this.
The universe creates possibilities through "generation" and achieves order through "restriction." The essence of generation and restriction is the eternal dialectic of "freedom and discipline" and "divergence and convergence." Personal growth is similar: a lack of challenges (restriction) hinders maturity, while a lack of support (generation) makes sustainability difficult. The optimal state is a spiral ascent within dynamic balance.
