杂格不一，大都气势偏旺，出于五行常理之外。昔人评命，泥于财官之说，四柱无财可取，则不惜遥合倒冲，牵强附会，以期合于财官，未免可嗤。命理不外乎五行，气势虽为偏旺，而偏旺之中，仍有正理可取，详《滴天髓征义》。偏旺之格，取运大都须顺其气势，虽干支喜忌，须察四柱之配合，而顺势取运，大致有定。兹就本篇所引各造。约略言之：
曲直仁寿格
癸亥 乙卯 乙未 壬午
甲寅 癸丑 壬子 辛亥 庚戌 己酉
甲乙日主，支全亥卯未或寅卯辰，乃曲直仁寿格也。气势偏旺于木，宜行水木火运，官煞运最忌，财运亦不宜。丙丁日主，支全寅午戌、或巳午未，为炎上格。戊已日主，支全辰戌丑未为稼穑格。庚辛日主，支全巳酉丑或申酉戌，为从革格。壬癸日主支全甲子辰或亥子丑，为润下格。五种意义相同。
化气格：
甲戌 丁卯 壬寅 甲辰
戊辰 己巳 庚午 辛未 壬申 癸酉
丁壬化木，生于春月，时逢甲辰，木之元神透出，乃化木格。气势偏于木也。化神喜行旺地，最宜东方寅卯辰比劫乡，而忌官煞，日主还原之地亦忌，其中略分别，如丁壬化木，日元壬水，行亥子丑印地，生起化神亦吉；若甲已化土，而行寅卯辰，克我化神，为大忌也。化气格有甲己化土、乙庚化金、丙辛化水、丁壬化木、戊癸化火五种，意义略同。
倒冲格：
戊午 戊午 戊午 戊午
己未 庚申 辛酉 壬戌 癸亥 甲子
两神成象，而气势偏于火土，为从旺格。最宜金运，泄土之气，但火炎土燥，究嫌偏枯，宜带水之土以护之。如庚辰辛丑等运为最佳，若见水运，如以一杯水救车薪之火。立见其灾。所谓倒冲最忌填实，即此意也。木运逆土之性，增火之焰，亦不相宜。
甲寅 庚午 丙午 甲午
辛未 壬申 癸酉 甲戌 乙亥 丙子
庚金无根，置之不论，气偏木火，格成炎上，最宜土运泄火之气。说见前仁寿格。
以上两造皆俗所谓倒冲格也。
朝阳格：
戊辰 辛酉 辛酉 戊子
壬戌 癸亥 甲子 乙丑 丙寅 丁卯
此金水伤官，原无官星，气势偏于金水，以顺其性。行土金水运为美，火运为忌。带水之木尚可行，而带火之木则不宜见。此俗所谓朝阳格也。
合禄格：
己未 戊辰 戊辰 庚申
丁卯 丙寅 乙丑 甲子 癸亥 壬戌
比
印
伤
此土金食神也。比劫重重，气势偏于土金，以金运泄土之秀为最吉，水运亦美，火运为忌，木亦不美，所谓土盛木折也。俗以庚合乙为官星，称为合禄格，又不要明见，喜财以生之。取运略同。
合禄格：
己酉 辛未 癸未 庚申
庚午 己巳 戊辰 丁卯 丙寅 乙丑
伤
财
官
杀
枭
比
俗亦名之为合禄格，以申合巳中戊土为官星也。月令偏官，年上透出，时上庚印化煞为用(见论偏官篇)，格正局清，有何不美？若取巳中戊土官星，岂非官煞混杂耶？
从财格：
庚申 乙酉 丙申 己丑
丙戌 丁亥 戊子 己丑 庚寅 辛卯
乙从庚化，不作印论，丙火临申，坐于病地，四柱无根，时上己丑又来生金，气势偏于金旺，为弃命从财格也。运宜行土金水，南方火乡最忌，木亦不利。
从煞格：
乙酉 乙酉 乙酉 甲申
甲申 癸未 壬午 辛巳 庚辰 己卯
乙木无根，气势偏于金，为弃命从煞格。金运最美，水土亦吉。木运为乙木逢根，火运逆其旺势，皆忌见。与上从财格大致相同。
井栏叉格：
戊子 庚申 庚申 庚辰
辛酉 壬戌 癸亥 甲子 乙丑 丙寅
印
劫
伤
才
杀
枭
此俗所谓井栏叉格。庚金乘旺泄秀，支全申子辰水局。气势偏于金水，当顺其势以取运。土金水运均美，木运亦可，行火运逆其旺势不利。
遥合格：
辛丑 辛丑 辛丑 庚寅
庚子 己亥 戊戌 丁酉 丙申 乙未
劫
伤
印
枭
才
杀
此俗所谓丑遥巳格。土金成局，生于十二月，时上寅木无气，不能为用。势象偏于土金，宜土金水运，木火逆其旺势为不宜。与遥巳格取运相同也。
丑遥巳禄格(又名刑合)：
乙未 癸卯 癸卯 甲寅
壬寅 辛丑 庚子 己亥 戊戌 丁酉
《喜忌篇》云，“癸日进逢寅位，岁月怕戊已二方”，以寅刑出巳中戊土为格，其实乃从儿格也。气势偏于木，行运最喜木火。从格忌见比劫，而从儿有食伤引化，不忌比劫，此为不同之点。官煞大忌，印运亦忌。
子遥巳禄格(又名遥合格)：
甲申 甲戌 甲子 甲子
乙亥 丙子 丁丑 戊寅 己卯 庚辰
才
印
劫
《喜忌篇》云，“甲子日再遇子时，畏庚辛申酉丑午，以子遥合巳为格”，其实月令偏财，用财损印，何必另取格局？戌藏丁火，生起财星，遇运透清为美，庚辛申酉官煞生印为忌，午冲子、丑刑戌均为忌也。
Overall Meaning
This chapter focuses on the analysis of fortune for various special patterns. Most of these patterns exhibit an excessively strong energy that goes beyond the conventional cycles of the Five Elements' interactions. When ancient scholars analyzed fate, if no Wealth or Official stars were found in the Four Pillars, they often resorted to far-fetched interpretations like remote combinations or reverse clashes to forcibly identify Wealth and Official patterns. This approach, however, is not advisable🌱. The essence of fate analysis lies in the Five Elements, and even in cases of extreme patterns, there are underlying principles to follow (for details, refer to Ditian Sui Zhengyi). For patterns with excessive energy, fortune analysis generally requires following the dominant energy trend. Although specific likes and dislikes of heavenly stems and earthly branches still depend on the Four Pillars' combinations, the overarching principle of following the trend is clear🔥. Below is a brief analysis of the examples cited in this chapter:
Example: Guihai, Yimao, Yiwei, Renwu
Major Life Cycles: Jiayin, Guichou, Renzi, Xinhai, Gengxu, Jiyou
When the Day Master is Jia or Yi Wood, and the earthly branches form a combination of Haimaowei or Yinmaochen, the Quzhi Renshou Pattern is formed. This pattern exhibits extremely strong Wood energy🌳. Fortunes favor Water, Wood, and Fire to follow the energy trend, while Official and Killer (Metal) cycles are most unfavorable as they counteract the dominant energy. Wealth (Earth) cycles are also unsuitable, as Earth can produce Metal, which contradicts the dominant energy. Similar patterns include: Bing and Ding Fire meeting Yinwuxu or Siwuwei (🔥 Yan Shang Pattern), Wu and Ji Earth meeting Chenxuchouwei (⛰ Jia Se Pattern), Geng and Xin Metal meeting Sisouchou or Shenyouxu (🔨 Cong Ge Pattern), and Ren and Gui Water meeting Shenzichen or Haizichou (🌊 Run Xia Pattern). The principles of fortune analysis for these five dominant energy patterns are similar.
Core Concept 💡
The essence of special patterns lies in "following the trend," which means adhering to the natural momentum of a highly concentrated Five Element energy in the universe, rather than mechanically applying Wealth and Official standards.
Modern Interpretation 🌟
Dominant energy patterns are like top experts or extreme idealists in a specific field, with highly concentrated energy. In modern contexts, such individuals are suited for deep development in their specialized areas and should avoid dispersing their energy or forcibly switching tracks. Those with strong Wood energy are suitable for careers in culture, education, environmental protection, and creative work.
Practical Value ⚡
Philosophical Reflection 🤔
Dominant energy patterns embody a philosophy of "extreme purity"—achieving extraordinary success by maximizing a specific trait, while maintaining balance to avoid obsession.
Example: Jiaxu, Dingmao, Renyin, Jiachen
Major Life Cycles: Wuchen, Jisi, Gengwu, Xinwei, Renshen, Guiyou
Ding and Ren combine to transform into Wood, born in spring, with the hour pillar's Jiachen revealing strong Wood energy, forming the Wood Transformation Pattern🌱. Transformation patterns favor cycles where the transformed energy is strong (e.g., in this case, Yinmaochen Wood cycles). Official and Killer (Metal) cycles that counteract the transformed energy are most unfavorable. The Day Master's original energy (e.g., Ren Water encountering Haizichou Water cycles) is generally unfavorable, but nuances exist: if the transformed energy is Wood, Water cycles that produce Wood are actually favorable. However, if Jia and Ji transform into Earth, Wood cycles that counteract Earth are highly unfavorable⚡. Transformation patterns include Jia-Ji transforming into Earth, Yi-Geng transforming into Metal, Bing-Xin transforming into Water, Ding-Ren transforming into Wood, and Wu-Gui transforming into Fire. The principles of fortune analysis are similar.
Core Concept 💡
Transformation patterns represent the conversion and fusion of Five Element energy, symbolizing a phenomenon of "metamorphosis" and "rebirth" in fate analysis.
Modern Interpretation 🌟
Individuals with transformation patterns are adaptable and skilled at role-shifting and ability migration. In modern society, this trait suits careers requiring cross-disciplinary integration and adaptability, such as project management, consulting, and跨界 artists.
Practical Value ⚡
Example 1: Wuwu, Wuwu, Wuwu, Wuwu
Major Life Cycles: Jiwei, Gengshen, Xinyou, Renxu, Guihai, Jiazi
This configuration features Fire and Earth forming an image, with energy偏向 Fire and Earth, making it a Cong Wang Pattern🔥. It favors Metal cycles that泄 Earth's energy (e.g., Gengchen, Xinchou, etc., damp Earth Metal cycles). However, the excessive Fire and dry Earth create an imbalanced state, requiring Earth with Water to regulate. Water cycles are like a drop in the bucket and may bring disaster⚡. Wood cycles counteract Earth and intensify Fire, making them unsuitable. The saying "reverse clash most fears filling the void" refers to this.
Example 2: Jiayin, Gengwu, Bingwu, Jiawu
Major Life Cycles: Xinwei, Renshen, Guiyou, Jiaxu, Yihai, Bingzi
Geng Metal has no root, and energy偏向 Wood and Fire, forming the Yan Shang Pattern🔥. Earth cycles that泄 Fire's energy are most suitable, following the same principle as the Quzhi Renshou Pattern.
Core Concept 💡
Reverse clash patterns represent an "extremely concentrated" energy mode, requiring balance through顺势疏导 rather than direct confrontation.
Modern Interpretation 🌟
Such individuals are like highly focused entrepreneurs or innovators with powerful energy that needs proper guidance. In modern applications, they are suited for work requiring intense concentration and passion but must balance their energy to avoid burnout.
Practical Value ⚡
Example: Wuchen, Xinyou, Xinyou, Wuzi
Major Life Cycles: Renxu, Guihai, Jiazi, Yichou, Bingyin, Dingmao
This is a Metal-Water Injury Officer pattern, with no Official star in the original configuration, and energy偏向 Metal and Water⚪️. It favors Earth, Metal, and Water cycles that follow its nature and dislikes Fire cycles. Wood with Water is acceptable, but Wood with Fire is unsuitable. This is commonly called the Chaoyang Pattern.
Core Concept 💡
The Metal-Water Injury Officer pattern combines wisdom and冷静, requiring its pure characteristics to remain undisturbed.
Modern Interpretation 🌟
Such individuals often possess artistic talent, technical expertise, or academic research abilities, suited for fields requiring精密 thinking and innovative expression. In modern society, they are适合 for scientific research, technology development, and artistic creation.
Example 1: Jiwei, Wuchen, Wuchen, Gengshen
Major Life Cycles: Dingmao, Bingyin, Yichou, Jiazi, Guihai, Renxu
This is an Earth-Metal Food God pattern, with numerous比劫, and energy偏向 Earth and Metal⛰️. It most favors Metal cycles that泄 Earth's energy, and Water cycles are also favorable. Fire cycles are unfavorable, and Wood cycles are also unsuitable (excessive Earth breaks Wood). It is commonly said that Geng combines with Yi to form an Official star, called the Helu Pattern, which favors Wealth to produce it. The fortune analysis is大致 similar.
Example 2: Jiyou, Xinwei, Guiwei, Gengshen
Major Life Cycles: Gengwu, Jisi, Wuchen, Dingmao, Bingyin, Yichou
This is also called the Helu Pattern, with Shen combining with Si's hidden Wu Earth to form an Official star. The Monthly Pillar has a偏官, which is revealed in the year, and the hour pillar's Geng Seal transforms the Killer into a useful element, making the pattern clear and upright. If the Wu Earth Official star in Si is taken, it反而 becomes a mixed Official-Killer pattern.
Core Concept 💡
The Helu Pattern achieves the effect of simulating an Official star through special stem-branch combinations, reflecting the dialectical relationship between "virtual" and "real" in fate analysis.
Modern Interpretation 🌟
Such individuals often achieve status and success through non-traditional means, suited for emerging industries or跨界 fields. Modern society values practical skills over traditional qualifications, providing more opportunities for such patterns.
Example: Gengshen, Yiyou, Bingshen, Jichou
Major Life Cycles: Bingxu, Dinghai, Wuzi, Jichou, Gengyin, Xinmao
Yi follows Geng's transformation and is not considered a Seal. Bing Fire is in a weakened state at Shen, with no root in the Four Pillars, and the hour pillar's Jichou further produces Metal, making energy偏向 Metal dominance, forming the Abandon Life to Follow Wealth Pattern💰. It favors Earth, Metal, and Water cycles and most dislikes Southern Fire cycles. Wood cycles are also unfavorable.
Core Concept 💡
Cong patterns embody the wisdom of "following the trend." When one's own energy is extremely weak, completely submitting to the dominant force can bring vitality.
Modern Interpretation 🌟
Such individuals possess strong adaptability and resource integration skills in modern society, suited for finance, trade, resource management, and other fields. The key is to recognize the situation and find reliable support or platforms.
Practical Value ⚡
Example: Yiyou, Yiyou, Yiyou, Jiashen
Major Life Cycles: Jiashen, Guiwei, Renwu, Xinsi, Gengchen, Jimao
Yi Wood has no root, and energy偏向 Metal, forming the Abandon Life to Follow Killer Pattern⚔️. Metal cycles are most favorable, and Water and Earth cycles are also auspicious. Wood cycles, where Yi Wood gains root, and Fire cycles, which counteract the dominant energy, are highly unfavorable. The principles of fortune analysis are similar to the Congcai Pattern.
Core Concept 💡
The Congsha Pattern embodies the wisdom of "overcoming hardness with softness," surviving and developing through submission and transformation under intense pressure.
Modern Interpretation 🌟
Such individuals often excel in high-pressure environments, suited for disciplined forces, highly competitive industries, or management in large organizations. The key is to correctly identify true authority and power.
Example: Wuzi, Gengshen, Gengshen, Gengchen
Major Life Cycles: Xinyou, Renxu, Guihai, Jiazi, Yichou, Bingyin
This is commonly called the Jinglancha Pattern. Geng Metal, in a strong state, expresses talent, with the branches forming a Shenzichen Water combination🌊. Energy偏向 Metal and Water, so fortune analysis should follow the trend. Earth, Metal, and Water cycles are favorable, Wood cycles are acceptable, but Fire cycles counteract the dominant energy and are unfavorable.
Core Concept 💡
The Jinglancha Pattern showcases wisdom and talent through the flow of Metal producing Water, requiring保持 this flow channel unobstructed.
Modern Interpretation 🌟
Such individuals often possess technical talent or artistic creativity, suited for work combining精密 calculation and creative expression, such as engineering design, architecture, and system analysis.
Example 1: Xinchou, Xinchou, Xinchou, Gengyin
Major Life Cycles: Gengzi, Jihai, Wuxu, Dingyou, Bingshen, Yiwei
This is commonly called the Chou Remote Si Pattern. Earth and Metal form a combination, born in the twelfth month, with the hour pillar's Yin Wood lacking energy and unable to be used. Energy偏向 Earth and Metal, favoring Earth, Metal, and Water cycles. Wood and Fire cycles counteract the dominant energy and are unsuitable.
Example 2: Yiwei, Guimao, Guimao, Jiayin
Major Life Cycles: Renyin, Xinchou, Gengzi, Jihai, Wuxu, Dingyou
The Xiji Pian states, "Gui Day Master meeting Yin position, fears Wu and Ji in the year and month," using Yin to punish out the hidden Wu Earth in Si to form the pattern, which is actually a Cong'er Pattern🔄. Energy偏向 Wood, favoring Wood and Fire cycles. Cong patterns generally dislike比劫, but the Cong'er Pattern has Food and Injury to guide and transform, making比劫 acceptable, which is its unique feature. Official and Killer cycles are highly unfavorable, and Seal cycles are also disliked.
Example 3: Jiashen, Jiaxu, Jiazi, Jiazi
Major Life Cycles: Yihai, Bingzi, Dingchou, Wuyin, Jimao, Gengchen
The Xiji Pian states, "Jiazi Day Master meeting Zi hour, fears Geng, Xin, Shen, You, Chou, Wu," using Zi to remotely combine with Si to form the pattern. In reality, the Monthly Pillar has偏财, using Wealth to damage the Seal, so no additional pattern is needed. Xu hides Ding Fire, which produces the Wealth star. When the cycle reveals it clearly, it is favorable. Geng, Xin, Shen, and You Official-Killer cycles produce the Seal and are unfavorable. Wu clashes with Zi, and Chou punishes Xu, both of which are unfavorable.
Core Concept 💡
The Yaohe Pattern achieves a "long-distance呼应" effect through special connections between earthly branches, reflecting the dialectical relationship between "virtual" and "real," "far" and "near" in fate analysis.
Modern Interpretation 🌟
Such individuals often possess foresight and跨界 thinking, suited for work requiring前瞻性 and a global perspective, such as strategic planning, investment analysis, and international business.

Summary: The core of fortune analysis for special patterns lies in "following the trend," accurately judging the direction of Five Element energy bias, and determining favorable and unfavorable fortunes. In modern applications, these principles should be flexibly applied结合 contemporary social environments and individual实际情况, avoiding mechanical application of ancient standards🌱.
