官以克身，虽与七煞有别，终受彼制，何以切忌刑冲破害，尊之若是乎？岂知人生天地间，必无矫焉自尊之理，虽贵极天子，亦有天祖临之。正官者分所当尊，如在国有君，在家有亲，刑冲破害，以下犯上，乌乎可乎？

徐注：官之与煞，同为克身制我之物，而有阴阳配合之不同，故其用大同而小异。如身强官轻，宜用财生官，身弱官重，宜用印化官，此官煞所同也。日主与官煞旺弱相等，名为两停，在煞宜用食伤制之，而官不宜制，仍须用财生之，有食伤者更须以印护之。盖官与日主，为阴阳配合有情，日主原不畏其克，若见食伤，既伤官星，又泄日元，为不可耳。至于刑冲破害，成格皆忌，不仅官星为然也。

以刑冲破害为忌，则以生之护之为喜矣。存其喜而去其忌则贵，而贵之中又有高低者，何也？以财印并透者论之，两不相碍，其贵也大。如薛相公命，甲申、壬申、乙巳，戊寅，壬印戊财，以乙隔之，水与土不相碍，故为大贵。若壬戌、丁未、戊甲、乙卯，杂气正官，透干会支，最为贵格，而壬财丁印，二者相合，仍以孤官无辅论，所以不上七品。

徐注：存喜去忌，即《神峰》病药之说，诚不易之论也。贵之高低，全在八字配合之清浊纯杂。如薛造官印相生，财旺而不破印，官星秉令，真神得用，宜其贵也。然亦有小病，寅申巳三刑，不免刑伤贵气，运至乙亥四冲，未必无风浪。其八字之清纯，更运行西北官印之地，宜为大贵之征。杂气正官一造，未为木库，官星不秉令，丁壬一合，财印两失，巳申一合，官星被伤。气势不流通，其为孤官无辅，固显而易见者也(巳申乙庚之合)。

若财印不以两用，则单用印不若单用财，以印能护官，亦能泄官，而财生官也。若化官为印而透财，则又为甚秀，大贵之格也。如金状元命，乙卯、丁亥、丁未、庚戌，此并用财印，无伤官而不杂煞，所谓去其忌而存其喜者也。

徐注：印为生我，受人之庇；财为我克，管辖他人。用印者必身弱，用财者必身旺。身旺任事，自较受庇于人为显赫，若身弱，则转不如受庇之为安逸矣。金造亥卯未三合，官化为印，水盛火塞，用财损印，用《滴天髓》君赖臣生之理也。似非并用财印，亦非官用财生，列入正官，似非其类。

然而遇伤在于佩印，混煞贵乎取清。如宣参国命，己卯、辛未、壬寅、辛亥，未中己官透干用清，支会木局，两辛解之，是遇伤而佩印也。李参政命，庚寅、乙酉、甲子、戊辰，甲用酉官，庚金混杂，乙以合之，合煞留官，是杂煞而取清也。
译文

徐注：遇伤佩印，混煞取清，自是不易之论。但如宣造，支全木局，官化为伤，伤旺泄气，用印制伤为用；己官之气，尽泄于金，岂能以其为官星而另眼相看？即全局关键，亦在印而不在官也，李造酉为庚金旺地，乙庚之合，缓其相克之势，所谓“甲以乙妹妻庚，凶为吉兆”是也。甲木通根，子辰相合，财化为印，以印化煞，用亦在印，特官有财之生、印之化，气势流转，格局因合而清，此即所谓取清也。

至于官格透伤用印者，又忌见财，以财能去印，未能生官，而适以护伤故也。然亦有逢财而反大贵者，如范太傅命，丁丑、壬寅、己巳、丙寅，支具巳丑，会金伤官，丙丁解之，透壬岂非破格？却不知丙丁并透，用一而足，以丁合壬而财去，以丙制伤而官清，无情而愈有情。此正造化之妙，变幻无穷，焉得不贵？
译文

徐注：此节所论甚妙。范造丁壬之合，逢寅月寅时，才印化为官星，格因合而转清；丙火自寅透出，得禄得生，初春木旺土虚，真神得用。官清印正，而又同宫并旺，大贵奚疑？巳丑之合非真，三合会局，以四正(子午卯酉)为重心，无酉而隔寅，寅又为金之绝地，岂能伤害官星乎？盖巳为火土之禄地，非复金之生地也。
至若地支刑冲，会合可解，已见前篇，不必再述，而以后诸格，亦不谈及矣。
Paraphrase of Original Text 1
Although the Zheng Guan restrains the Day Master, it differs from the Qi Sha (Seven Killings) as it represents a benevolent form of restraint, akin to hierarchical relationships in society. In life, complete freedom is unattainable; even someone as esteemed as an emperor is bound by the constraints of heaven, earth, and ancestry. The Zheng Guan symbolizes authority that deserves respect, such as the ruler of a nation or elders in a family. Punishments, clashes, breaks, and harms disrupt this hierarchical order, equivalent to insubordination, which is undesirable.
Xu Yuewu's补充: Both Zheng Guan and Qi Sha restrain the Day Master, but Zheng Guan involves a harmonious yin-yang pairing, making it a benevolent restraint. Thus, their applications are similar yet nuanced. For example, when the Day Master is strong and the Guan is weak, it is advisable to use wealth to nourish the Guan. When the Day Master is weak and the Guan is strong, it is better to use the Seal to transform the Guan. If the Day Master and the Guan/Sha are balanced, Qi Sha should be controlled by the Food and Injury stars, but Zheng Guan should not be controlled—instead, it requires wealth for support. If Food and Injury are present, the Seal is needed for protection. This is because Zheng Guan and the Day Master share a harmonious yin-yang relationship; the Day Master does not fear its restraint, but Food and Injury can harm the Guan star and deplete the Day Master's energy, making it inauspicious. Punishments, clashes, breaks, and harms are detrimental to all patterns, not just the Guan star.

Since punishments, clashes, breaks, and harms are avoided, nurturing and protecting the Guan star are favorable. Retaining favorable elements and removing unfavorable ones leads to nobility, but the level of nobility depends on the clarity and purity of the八字配合. For example, the八字of Minister Xue:甲申, 壬申, 乙巳, 戊寅. The壬水 Seal star and戊土 Wealth star are separated by the乙木 Wood, preventing water and earth from clashing, resulting in great nobility. However, the triple punishment between寅, 申, and巳slightly mars the pattern, and when the luck cycle reaches乙亥, the four clashes may trigger setbacks. Another example:壬戌, 丁未, 戊申, 乙卯 (Note: The original text’s "戊甲" is likely a typo; corrected to戊申 based on context). This is a mixed-energy Zheng Guan pattern. The透干会支should indicate nobility, but the合between壬 Wealth and丁 Seal causes both to lose their effectiveness, leaving the Guan star isolated and unsupported, so the official rank does not exceed the seventh grade.
Xu Yuewu's补充: The level of nobility depends entirely on the clarity of the八字. Minister Xue’s pattern has官印相生, wealth not breaking the seal, and the Guan star in season, with the true spirit utilized, hence great nobility, though the triple punishment deducts points. The mixed-energy Guan pattern loses both wealth and seal due to the丁壬合, damaging the Guan star and muddying the pattern.
Paraphrase of Original Text 3
If wealth and seal cannot be used together, using the seal alone is不如using wealth alone, as the seal, while protecting the Guan, also drains its energy, whereas wealth directly nourishes the Guan. If the Guan transforms into a seal and wealth is透干, it becomes an exceptionally elegant and highly noble pattern. For example, the八字of Top Scholar Jin:乙卯, 丁亥, 丁未, 庚戌. The亥卯未 triple combination transforms into a seal, with water flourishing and fire weak. Using wealth to reduce the seal aligns with the "ruler relying on the minister" principle, removing unfavorable elements and retaining favorable ones, with no injury official or mixed煞, hence nobility.
Xu Yuewu's补充: Those using the seal often have a weak Day Master, relying on others; those using wealth often have a strong Day Master, actively managing others. A strong Day Master leads to prominence, while a weak one benefits from protection. Jin’s pattern, after the Guan transforms into a seal, has abundant water stifling fire, using wealth to regulate it. This is not a typical Zheng Guan pattern, but the structure is clear and elegant.

When encountering an injury official, a seal is needed to resolve it; when官煞are mixed, they need to be clarified. For example, the八字of Official Xuan:己卯, 辛未, 壬寅, 辛亥. The己官from未is透干to clarify, and the支会wood局transforms the injury, with the辛金 Seal star controlling the injury, exemplifying "resolving injury with a seal." The八字of Official Li:庚寅, 乙酉, 甲子, 戊辰.甲uses酉as Guan, with庚煞mixed in.乙合庚retains the Guan, and子辰合印transforms the煞, exemplifying "clarifying mixed煞."
Xu Yuewu's补充: In Xuan’s pattern, the Guan star is already drained by the injury; the key lies in the seal, not the Guan. In Li’s pattern, the乙庚合softens the煞, and the seal transforms the煞, clarifying the pattern through harmony.
Paraphrase of Original Text 5
When the Guan pattern透伤uses a seal, wealth stars are avoided as they can break the seal and protect the injury. However, there are exceptions, such as the八字of Official Fan:丁丑, 壬寅, 己巳, 丙寅. The支会metal局creates an injury official, with丙丁 Seal stars resolving the situation.透壬wealth should break the pattern, but丁合壬removes the wealth, and丙controls the injury to protect the Guan, showing benevolence within ruthlessness, resulting in great nobility. Earthly branch punishments and clashes can be resolved through combinations, as mentioned earlier, and will not be reiterated.
Xu Yuewu's补充: In Fan’s pattern,丁壬合transforms into a Guan,丙印gets its禄, with wood flourishing and earth weak in early spring, the true spirit utilized, and both Guan and Seal thriving. The巳丑会metal is not genuine and cannot harm the Guan, hence nobility.
The Zheng Guan represents social authority and order, such as leadership, rules, or elders, emphasizing yin-yang harmony and hierarchical order. The clarity and配合of the Guan star in the八字determine the level of nobility, while punishments, clashes, breaks, and harms disrupt stability.
The philosophy of Zheng Guan embodies yin-yang balance and social responsibility: personal freedom must submit to collective rules, but rules also need flexibility (seal transformation) rather than rigidity. In modern society, authority and personal growth are not opposites but dynamic collaborations—similar to the symbiosis between leaders and employees in enterprises.
