群兴论
夫人生有秉富贵之荣，而当兴富贵，且能享福，而保 其终，其有何故也。盖四柱中身主专旺，而其所用吉神。 或为财，或为官，或为印绶，或为食神，俱各带禄权得令。 不偏不杂，又无刑冲伤损克害，方为富贵，本源之不杂也。 他日能成才，能振耀前人之基业，成当代之功名。不招诽 谤，不致伤害，又在途上，步步皆吉。四柱益加吉利，是 谓源清流洁，故能享福以过人，保其中而无害也。皆由命 运， 一路滔滔生旺而然，非幸也，乃命也。可不辨乎!夫人之生，又有穷俄其身，愁苦孤寒，颠倒无倚。 一旦逢时， 兴然而起，或当营财满屋，白手庄田，或致君泽民，独步 台鼎。斯人也，前后异见，其故何欤。盖因柱中日主生气 未旺，所用贵神。悉皆得位而成旺，又且合格，奈何日主 无力，不能胜任其福，故劳困偃蹇。
忽逢运扶其日干，得 其强健用神，出虎啸风生，元命用神。方为我用，我其乘 之，则勃然兴，是偏气乘和，衰以遇旺，故迎吉而能崛起。 若夫建业创功，有大小之不同，当于所遵命之过重。辨之 可也。又有日主强则四柱五行，煞纯不杂，身煞俱旺。根 本元无制伏，富贵不成。惟待运来制伏煞神，则化为权， 方出而兴才德，为公卿，功名显达，出类超群。是其身旺， 煞神逢制化为权也。制神力旺，发福非常，安得其人不贫 贱，而以到极品之尊贵乎。实有其命，又要行其运以扶， 方见其兴也。如运不至，即常人耳。又要四柱中日主健旺， 用神亦旺，各相均停，为富屋朱门贵命之贤子也。及其长 大，成立丰隆， 逢恶曜运加临，元命见其财而夺之，因 其官而伤之。临其印而坏之，逢其食而损之，遭逢此运， 祸不胜言，所以胜年见倾而不发。如其恶运一去，又逢好 运扶身，使我用神一新。臂若枯苗得雨，勃然而兴起，鸿 毛之遇风，飘然而举，则不可御也。又有人生五行身旺， 羊刃比肩，俱各争旺。惟有财官煞神等物，虚浮轻少，无 力成功名矣。出门行运，又非作福之地，所以一生饥寒， 劳苦落泊，有志无成。或至中年晚景，顿逢煞运，假煞为 权，制伏羊刃。或得权贵以显扬，或超资财而发福。当随
ji行清浊，以遇其运而别之。是一生困穷，忽然而兴起于 中年晚景也。故知此元命用财官，平生无气，即至运到， 方成富贵， 一兴利。故未兴者，乃得运而然也。学者可 不勉乎。
身主者，日干用神者，月中所藏之神以之为用。命为 水运为源。原者命也，流者运也。寅申已亥五行四生之局， 柱中有为生气。经曰以熬比权，文魁豪门责客是此之谓。如 甲以庚为煞用丙制之是也。此段如巨航遇风，喻命之遇好 运忽然而发使不知觉也。权责当令之辰，莫非才官印食而已。
论兴亡
夫人生柱中有纯煞为用也。煞神未制，则为白屋穷途 之人，或作豪门卓荦之士。故要逢制煞运，假煞而起，进 用朝廷，操权威福，功不可量。制伏运一入财乡，则能党 煞，便兴祸患。如此官旺煞旺运，元恐失计，所以命党煞 运者，傥来生凶。偶然遇流年财煞少旺，煞神相党，并各 兴殃。身主孤寒克害，轻则倾家徒配，重则刑弃其身。故 其煞神并合，凶亡之可畏也。如此煞刃者， 一一难免祸福 点。又有柱中月令，正气官星，为一生富贵，惟逢印运则
利。盖官星喜逢财旺以生之，印旺以护之。故令其人能行仁布德，纬国经邦，权重爵高，所以贵也。后遇煞神旺乡， 煞神禄位，岁煞并临，官化为鬼，丧身必矣。不行煞运， 或逢伤官运，又无印绶治之，伤官得地，禄遭伤损，丧妻 克子剥职生灾，立见矣。更遇流年党地，损官受克，必致 亡于惨恶，故官禄逢伤。免剥戮者，不其难乎。如有高见， 则或知进退存亡之机，而保其身者，官禄逢伤，六亲免祸， 亦当自己受恶疾而终矣。又有柱中所专用神，无官煞气， 惟偏财正财当旺而巳，财神当道，隐隐兴隆，积财聚玉， 但少贵矣。欲知且看行运如何，财逢官禄旺乡，又成富贵 朝局，设有不幸财神脱局，羊刃相逢，财倾福败，多患其 凶。或流年冲合羊刃，财神尽伤，命元衰绝，羊刃生凶， 败亡极矣。
白屋言，寻常白丁之家，途言出路而行无依倚之 人也。徒配谓犯徒罪发配他方，馆驿驿站之谓。岁煞 流年地支，子以一太岁午冲空亡丧门之类。财官乃纯 善之星，无冲害所以生财，乃遇印旺可言贵，恶煞相 并则休如良善，遇凶恶不遇贯人和解矣。
Some people are naturally endowed with the glory of wealth and nobility in life, able to prosper, enjoy blessings, and maintain them until the end. What is the reason for this? 🌱 It is because the Day Master (the heavenly stem of the birth day) in their birth chart is exceptionally strong, and the Auspicious Gods (such as the Wealth Star, Official Star, Seal Star, or Food God) they rely on are all endowed with禄位 (positions of power) and authority. These gods are prosperous and in command, neither biased nor mixed, and free from clashes, damages, or harms. This forms a pure foundation for wealth and nobility. Such individuals can later develop their talents, revitalize their ancestors' legacy, achieve contemporary fame, avoid slander and harm, and experience step-by-step auspiciousness in life. If the birth chart is even more auspicious, it can be described as having a clear source and clean flow, enabling them to enjoy blessings beyond others and maintain their integrity without harm. All of this is due to the fate's continuous growth and prosperity, not by chance but by destiny. How can one not discern this clearly?
There are also those who live in poverty, hardship, loneliness, and displacement but suddenly rise to prominence when their luck turns: they may start from scratch and accumulate wealth, or assist a ruler and benefit the people, holding high positions alone. Why is there such a dramatic contrast in their lives? 🌊 This is because the Day Master in their birth chart lacks vitality and strength. Although the noble gods they rely on are in the right positions and prosperous, the Day Master is too weak to bear the blessings, leading to a life of toil and hardship. Suddenly, when their luck supports the Day Master, strengthening it, the useful gods become effective. Like a tiger roaring and the wind rising, the useful gods of the original fate are finally utilized, leading to a sudden rise. This is a case of偏气 (partial energy) meeting harmony and衰中逢旺 (prosperity emerging from decline), enabling them to rise with auspiciousness. The scale of their achievements and merits depends on the weight of their fate.
There are also cases where the Day Master is strong, and the four pillars of the birth chart are purely dominated by the杀神 (Killing God) without mixture. Both the body and the煞神 are strong, but there is no mechanism to control the煞神, preventing the attainment of wealth and nobility. Only when luck arrives to control the煞神, transforming it into authority, can their talents and virtues be displayed, making them high officials with outstanding achievements and fame. This is a case where a strong body meets a controlled煞神, transforming it into authority. If the controlling force is strong, the blessings will be extraordinary. How can such individuals not rise from poverty to the highest honors? However, such a fate requires the support of luck to flourish. If the luck does not arrive, they remain ordinary people.
Alternatively, some have a birth chart where the Day Master is strong, and the useful gods are also strong, creating a balance. They are the worthy children of wealthy families, growing up prosperous. However, when恶曜 (malefic stars) arrive in their luck, the wealth, official status, seals, and food gods of their original fate are plundered, injured, damaged, or harmed, leading to endless disasters. Thus, their prime years are overturned, and they fail to prosper. Once the bad luck passes, and good luck supports the body, the useful gods are renewed. Like withered seedlings receiving rain or a feather encountering wind, they rise suddenly and irresistibly.
Others have a birth chart where the五行 (Five Elements) are strong, and the羊刃 (Yang Blade) and比肩 (Companion Stars) compete for dominance. However, the财官煞神 (Wealth, Official, and Killing Gods) are weak and insufficient, unable to achieve anything. If their luck does not enter a favorable phase, they will suffer from hunger, cold, and toil throughout their lives, with ambitions unfulfilled. Alternatively, in middle or old age, they may suddenly encounter杀运 (Killing Luck), using the煞神 as authority to control the羊刃, gaining power, fame, or wealth. The outcome depends on the clarity or turbidity of their luck. This is a case of lifelong poverty suddenly turning into prosperity in middle or old age. Thus, it is clear that if the original fate relies on wealth and official stars but lacks vitality, it is only when luck arrives that wealth and nobility are achieved. Those who have not yet prospered will do so when their luck arrives. Should scholars not strive for this?
The body refers to the Day Master, and the useful gods refer to the spirits stored in the month used for analysis. Fate is like water, and luck is its source: the source is fate, and the flow is luck.寅申巳亥 (Yin, Shen, Si, Hai) are the four birth phases of the五行, and their presence in the pillars signifies vitality. The classics say: "Using authority to compare power, the literary champion and noble guest refer to this." For example,甲 (Jia) uses庚 (Geng) as the煞神 and controls it with丙 (Bing). This passage is like a giant ship encountering wind, metaphorically describing fate meeting good luck and suddenly flourishing. Authority and nobility are about the commanding hours,无非才官印食而已 (nothing more than wealth, official, seal, and food gods).
On the rise and fall: In life, some have pure煞神 as their useful god. If the煞神 is not controlled, they may be ordinary people with no prospects or outstanding figures from noble families. Therefore, they need to encounter luck that controls the煞神, using it to rise and serve the court, wielding authority and blessings, with achievements beyond measure. However, if the controlling luck enters the wealth phase, it may ally with the煞神, bringing disaster. If the official and煞神 are strong in luck, the original fate may lose its balance. Those whose fate allies with the煞神 may encounter sudden misfortune. If the流年 (annual luck) brings slight prosperity to wealth and煞神, the煞神 may ally with other forces, each bringing calamity. If the body is isolated and harmed, the light consequence is loss of family and exile, while the heavy consequence is punishment or death. Thus, the combination of煞神 is fearsome and凶亡 (disastrous). Those with煞刃 (Killing Blade)难免祸福 (cannot avoid both calamity and blessing).
There are also those whose birth chart has the正气官星 (upright Official Star) from the月令 (monthly command), signifying lifelong wealth and nobility. However, they benefit only when encountering seal luck. The Official Star thrives when supported by wealth and protected by seals. Thus, such individuals can practice benevolence and virtue, govern the country, hold high positions and titles, and achieve nobility. Later, if they enter a phase where the煞神 is strong, and the煞神's禄位 (position of power) aligns with the year's煞神, the official star may turn into a ghost, inevitably leading to loss of life. If they do not encounter煞运 or enter a phase of伤官 (Hurting Official) without the seal to control it, the伤官 will dominate, damaging their禄位, causing loss of spouse, children, position, and disasters. If the流年 further supports this, damaging the official star and subjecting it to克制 (restriction),惨恶 (tragic and evil) death is certain. Thus, when official禄 encounters damage, avoiding剥戮 (stripping and killing) is difficult. Even with foresight, understanding the opportunities of advance and retreat, survival and demise, and protecting oneself, if official禄 is damaged,六亲 (six relatives) may avoid disaster, but the individual may still suffer from恶疾 (vicious illness) and die.
Others have a birth chart that specializes in useful gods without官煞气 (official or煞 energy). Only偏财 (partial wealth) or正财 (upright wealth) is prosperous, with the财神 dominating, leading to hidden prosperity and accumulation of wealth, but with little nobility. To understand this, observe their luck: if wealth encounters the prosperous phase of official禄, they may achieve wealth and nobility in court. However, if不幸 (unfortunately) the财神 loses its position and meets羊刃, wealth and blessings will be overturned, leading to multiple disasters. Alternatively, if the流年 clashes or combines with羊刃, damaging the财神, the fate's vitality declines绝 (to exhaustion), and羊刃 generates misfortune, leading to extreme failure and demise.
白屋 (White House) refers to ordinary commoner families, and途 (path) refers to those with no support or出路 (way out).徒配 (exile) means being convicted and sent away, and馆驿 (post station) refers to relay stations.岁煞 (yearly煞神) refers to the地支 (earthly branches) of the流年, such as子午冲 (clash between Zi and Wu),空亡 (empty death), or丧门 (gate of mourning).财官 (wealth and official) are purely benevolent stars. Without clashes or harms, they generate wealth; encountering strong seals indicates nobility; meeting恶煞 (malefic煞神) leads to ruin, like a good person encountering evil without a noble mediator.
