煞以攻身，似非美物，而大贵之格，多存七煞。盖控制得宜，煞为我用，如大英雄大豪杰，似难驾驭，而处之有方，则惊天动地之功，忽焉而就。此王侯将相所以多存七煞也。

徐注：官煞同类，而其用有不同。官为阳之于阴、阴之于阳，异类相引；煞为阳之于阳、阴之于阴，同类相拒。故官煞虽同为克身之物，而有有情无情之分。官不可伤而煞宜制，亦以此也。官多身弱，官等于煞；煞轻身强，煞同于官。此则不可不知也。

七煞之格局亦不一：煞用食制者，上也，煞旺食强而身健，极为贵格。如乙亥、乙酉、乙卯、丁丑，极等之贵也。
译文

徐注：煞旺食强，阳干阴干不同。阴干不畏煞旺，只须食制；阳干必须身健，否则，克泄交加，非用印不可也。上造亥卯会，酉丑会，确合制煞格局；尤难得者，四柱清纯，无一闲杂之神，宜为极等之贵也。参阅论用神高低篇陆商阎造。

煞用食制，不要露财透印，以财能转食生煞，而印能去食护煞也。然而财先食后，财生煞而食以制之，或印先食后，食太旺而印制，则格成大贵。如脱丞相命，壬辰、甲辰、丙戌、戊戌，辰中暗煞，壬以透之，戊坐四支，食太重而透甲印，以损太过，岂非贵格？若煞强食泄而印露，则破局矣。

徐注：煞用食制，不宜财印并透，所论甚精，所引脱丞相命，食神泄气太重，以甲印损其太过，兼以生助日元，所以行丙午丁未而大贵。壬水之气泄于甲，不能再用，而天干壬甲丙戊，一顺相生，尤为贵征也。至于财先食后，如现代程参谋总长潜之命造，壬午、癸卯、己巳、辛未，确合此格，年月财生煞旺，时上食以制之，而己土得禄于午，通根于未，身旺食煞俱清，洵大贵之征也。如辛在年月，则为食神生财，财生煞之局；午中丁印如透出，则为食浅印露，枭神夺食护煞，均破格矣。
(林注：参谋总长程潜之造，乃是身弱杀印相生之格，用神取日主坐下巳火，大运甲辰、乙巳、丙午、丁未、戊申、己酉，一路火土喜用，故大贵。徐氏以其为食神制杀，试问卯木杀星不透，时干之食何以制月支之杀？贻笑方家。)

有七煞用印者，印能护煞，本非所宜，而印有情，便为贵格。如何参政命，丙寅、戊戌、壬戌、辛丑，戊与辛同通月令，是煞印有情也。
译文

徐注：官煞俱以财印辅，但财印不并用。何造妙在财在年干，财生煞，煞生印，印以生身。财不破印，地位配置合宜，便为贵格。若辛丑戊戌易位，便为财破印，煞攻身，贫贱之局矣。

亦有煞重身轻，用食则身不能当，不若转而就印，虽不通根月令，亦为无情而有情。格亦许贵，但不大耳。
译文

徐注：食神制煞，以身强为条件，身弱则克泄交加，身不能当，惟有转而就印。如常国公造，辛卯、辛卯、癸酉、己未(见前食神节)，即煞重身轻，弃食就印，用印化煞也。格局清纯，同一取贵。
原文

有煞而用财者，财以党煞，本非所喜，而或食被制，不能伏煞，而财以去印存食，便为贵格。如周丞相命，戊戌、甲子，丁未、庚戌，戊被制不能伏煞，时透庚财，即以清食者，生不足之煞。生煞即以制煞，两得其用，尤为大贵。
译文

徐注：财印同为煞之辅，身强煞弱，用财滋煞，非不能也。如己酉、丙寅、庚辰，庚金极旺，丙火根轻，必须用财滋煞，行东南木火之运，仕路显赫，即抑强扶弱之理也。至如周丞相造，用财去印存食，乃病药取用法也。戌未中均藏丁火，日元不弱，八字四土一水，制煞太过，其病一也；子水孤军，见甲更嫌泄气，其病二也。甲木无根，弃印就财，泄土之气，滋生弱煞，诚为两得其用。书云，“有病方为贵”，有解救之药，即贵之征也。

又有身重煞轻，煞又化印，用神不清，而借财以清格，亦为贵格。如甲申、乙亥、丙戌、庚寅，刘运使命是也。
译文

徐注：刘造寅亥虽合，而得申遥冲解其合，乙合庚金，引而近之，通申宫之气，寅戌拱合丙火，日元甚旺，亦是财滋煞为用，借财以清格局。然非身重不可也。
原文

更有杂气七煞，干头不透财以清用，亦可取贵。
译文

徐注：凡以七煞为用者，除财生、印化、食制三者之外，无单用之法，杂气七煞，岂能例外？如乐吾自造，丙戌、壬辰、丙申、丙申，杂气七煞，干不透财，即不能以财滋煞，亦不可以食制煞；乙木余气藏辰，又落空亡，化煞无力，但以配合需要，仍当取印为用，即通关是也(见《命鉴》)。印如有力，亦可取贵。干头不透财清用，固不限于杂气。如上脱丞相造，用印制食存煞而取贵，非定须透财也。
原文

有煞而杂官者，或去官，或去煞，取清则贵。如岳统制命，癸卯、丁巳、庚寅、庚辰，去官留煞也。夫官为贵气，去官何如去煞？岂知月令偏官，煞为用而官非用，各从其重。若官格杂煞而去官留煞，不能如是之清矣。如沈郎中命，丙子、甲午、辛亥、辛卯，子冲午而克煞，是去煞留官也。
译文

徐注：官煞虽同类，而各有分野。譬如弟兄，对外为一家，对内则兄为兄，弟为弟，各分门户，不混杂也。故以通根言，巳午未寅戌可同为丙丁之根；而言其用，则各从其重，以其得时秉令也。八字以取清为贵，不论去官或去煞。岳沈两造，同为煞格杂官而显有低昂，盖月令七煞，则煞为真神。岳统制造，癸水去丁而用巳中丙火，为去官用煞，真神得用；沈郎中造，子冲午火，去其当令之真神，而留年上丙火，此为去真用假。《滴天髓》云：“真神得用平生贵，用假终为碌碌人”是也。但此系专就去留取清而言，若就全局论之，岳造虽寅巳辰全，财生煞旺，而辰为湿土，巳为长生，身强制浅，运行制煞之乡，化煞为权。沈造虽亦财旺生官，而辛金无根，若非子水冲去午火，则煞旺攻身，所恃者运行西方申酉戌戊己等运，帮身而化官煞。是两造显判低昂，不仅去官去煞之别也。

有煞无食制而用印当者，如戊辰、甲寅、戊寅、戊午、赵员外命是也。
译文

徐注：此造煞旺秉令，真神得用，寅午拱会，化煞生身，用神极明显，亦清纯可贵也。

至书有制煞不可太过之说，虽亦有理，然运行财印，亦能发福，不可执一也，乃若弃命从煞，则于外格详之。
译文

徐注：制煞太过者，以太过为病也。去其病神，自可发福。但用财用印，亦有分别。身旺者宜财不宜印，身弱者宜印不宜财。如壬辰、丙午、丙午、壬辰，身强，两煞四制，见金运而人发，是宜财不宜印也。又甲寅、戊辰、壬辰、壬寅，制煞太过而身弱，逢金运而人发，是宜印不宜财也。又如论食神节胡会元造，戊戌、壬戌、丙子、戊戌，亦是制过七煞而身不旺，宜印运不宜见财者(参观上食神节)。财印不并立，喜财者必不喜印也。
Overall Paraphrase
Although the Seven Killings can attack the body and seem inauspicious, many highly noble patterns rely on the presence of the Seven Killings. The key lies in controlling it properly, making the killings work for oneself. Just as great heroes and exceptional talents, though difficult to manage, can achieve earth-shattering accomplishments with the right methods. This is why many kings, nobles, generals, and ministers have the Seven Killings in their fate.
The Seven Killings are akin to pressure and challenges in the workplace or significant risks in entrepreneurship. When properly controlled, pressure transforms into motivation, and risks become opportunities. Modern successful individuals often excel in high-pressure environments, embodying the principle of "making the killings work for oneself." The key is to find one’s own way to "tame the killings"—whether through professional skills (Resource taming), network resources (Seal transformation), or capital operations (Wealth nourishment).
The existence of the killings reminds us that crises contain opportunities, and pressure generates motivation. Truly great achievements often require tempering through significant challenges. How to transform the "killings" in life into nutrients for growth is a wisdom everyone needs to contemplate.
Case: Yǐ Hài, Yǐ Yǒu, Yǐ Mǎo, Dīng Chǒu
An extremely noble pattern: strong killings, strong Resource, and a robust body. Hài and Mǎo form a wood combination, while Yǒu and Chǒu form a metal combination, creating a perfect killing-taming pattern with pure and uncluttered pillars.
Case of Chancellor Tuō: Rén Chén, Jiǎ Chén, Bǐng Xū, Wù Xū
The Chén pillar hides the Seven Killings, with Rén water emerging. The Wù earth Resource sits too heavily across four pillars, but the exposed Jiǎ wood Seal star moderates the excess, forming a noble pattern.
Case of Chief of Staff Chéng: Rén Wǔ, Guǐ Mǎo, Jǐ Sì, Xīn Wèi
Wealth in the year and month pillars nourishes strong killings, tamed by the Resource in the hour pillar. Jǐ earth gains禄 (lu, prosperity) in Wǔ and is rooted in Wèi, with a strong body and clear Resource and killings.
Case of Councilor Hé: Bǐng Yín, Wù Xū, Rén Xū, Xīn Chǒu
The killings and Seal are harmonious. Wealth in the year pillar nourishes the killings, which in turn nourish the Seal, and the Seal nourishes the body. Wealth does not break the Seal, resulting in a well-configured pattern.
Case of Chancellor Zhōu: Wù Xū, Jiǎ Zǐ, Dīng Wèi, Gēng Xū
The killings are overly tamed. Wealth is used to remove the Seal and preserve the Resource, nourishing the weak killings and achieving dual utility.
Case of Envoy Liú: Jiǎ Shēn, Yǐ Hài, Bǐng Xū, Gēng Yín
The body is heavy, but the killings are light. Wealth is borrowed to clarify the pattern, nourishing the killings for utility.
Case of Commander Yuè: Guǐ Mǎo, Dīng Sì, Gēng Yín, Gēng Chén
The Partial Officer is retained while the Proper Officer is removed. The Seven Killings in the month branch are the true god put to use.
Case of Minister Shěn: Bǐng Zǐ, Jiǎ Wǔ, Xīn Hài, Xīn Mǎo
The killings are removed, and the officer is retained. However, removing the true god and using the false one results in a lower-level pattern.
Case of Official Zhào: Wù Chén, Jiǎ Yín, Wù Yín, Wù Wǔ
The killings are strong and in command. Yín and Wǔ combine to transform the killings and nourish the body, with a pure useful god.

Modern Research
Contemporary fate theory scholars emphasize the "pressure transformation" theory of the Seven Killings, believing that the killings represent major challenges in life. Proper taming and transformation can lead to extraordinary achievements. In modern business management, leveraging talents with "killing patterns" often leads to breakthrough results.

Fate analysis requires comprehensive judgment based on the overall pattern and should not rely solely on a single pillar. Modern applications should be viewed rationally and combined with actual circumstances.
