论小儿
凡小儿命见财多，必庶出螟蛉，克父母也。若幼年行运，于财旺之乡亦然。身侧生顶不正，有胎衣遮，主偏生双顶，乾生有依，应有刑克。辰复生背父，易生易养。便有声，寅迟滞，未吉辰，有胎衣包。仰生有惊，大抵儿命。大要身旺，最喜印绶生之。无财克之，则易生灾少。不要官星七煞羊刃伤官太旺，身旺亦多灾。身弱则难养，如见所畏之辰，切不要行运岁运助之。大畏财旺，不庶出必螟蛉，克父母也。更不要行运早，盖气难敌也，庚子戊寅戊子丁巳生，月中气后，月逢七煞。赖有丁火为印绶，寅为生之也。能生戊土，不合见庚子。已字金身生，其二子之
水为财。克丁火生气，反尘刀中七煞。七煞来克身，身弱难敌。故当年十一月，其子死矣。此为生煞坏印之祸也，又如癸西癸亥已且乙亥。此命四柱财重，白分娩儿乎俱亡。未岁余，父母亦亡，乃过房继养。其他仿此，推无疑矣。
小儿惟得中和旺，则不能在弱则不能禁，只待至年十三可以分别责贱。
论小儿关煞例
小儿之命，当论时辰为主。先有关煞，次有格局，目主强。财官旺，有关无煞。日干弱，财官少，常病可养。日干弱，财官多，有关有煞。又有三合聚煞者难养，不见刑冲者，声音响亮，夜啼急性，八字有财官。生于富贵之家，偏官生于平常之家。伤官劫财，生于贫贱之家。偏官偏印偏财，主偏生庶出。不然，第三四胎。子平之法，偏官为关，偏财为煞。取生辰之数断之。水“、火二、木三、金四、上五，且如甲目庚煞，乃四九岁。干丙见壬煞，--六岁。干戊日甲煞，三八岁。庚口丙煞，七岁。王见戊煞，五十岁见之，至于阴干。亦如此无不验耳。
关煞之说，术家且不明也，但有一煞为关，一财为煞，丁午旺见之方为关煞者，有验日月者，俱不进有煞无关有关无煞，溪不准若依天正之说，其谬甚矣。
论小儿生时是否
子午卯酉时生，主神清目秀，易产易育，顶正声清。辰戊且未时生，主体肥式，惟急，声雄，自刑自害。顶偏，或双顶，背父下生，夜啼日吵。寅申巳亥时生，主人物丰满，声粗性急。
诗曰：
亥子丑时头向北，寅卯辰人脚向西。巳午未人头南向，申酉戌时头顶西。辰戌丑未背太阳，父在家中不在傍。一个时辰分八刻，妙诀推究理攸长。子午卯酉面仰天，寅申巳亥侧身眠。辰戌丑未覆下生，千金君子不须传。子午号为黄泉路，卯酉呼为二八门。难产易胎多疾厄，夜啼惊恐不堪闻。寅申巳亥四长生，产时容易别娘身。三日之前人送物，啼声缓缓发鬓增。辰戌丑未四个时，生下之时父不知。贱性为人多执拗，须教脐带颈两分。
This chapter explores the core principles of children's destiny analysis, including how excessive wealth in the natal chart may indicate non-biological or adoptive circumstances, as well as shallow parental bonds. A strong body 🌱 with the support of the Seal Star (印绶) suggests easier upbringing and fewer illnesses; conversely, a weak body or heavy influence of Wealth, Officer, and Kill Stars may lead to sickness and difficulty in nurturing. The analysis of Guan Sha (关煞) focuses on the hour of birth, combined with the strength of the chart structure to assess health and destiny. Characteristics of the birth hour influence appearance, temperament, and the birthing process—for example, those born during the Zi, Wu, Mao, or You hours are often delicate and easy to deliver, while those born during the Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei hours may be stout and impatient.
In a modern context, these concepts can be translated into recommendations for optimizing a child’s growth environment, such as focusing on psychological stability and family support rather than superstitious beliefs. The key is to balance the Five Elements energies and avoid extreme configurations.
Children's destiny analysis emphasizes the importance of Five Elements balance and a strong body with Seal support. Excessive Wealth Stars may symbolize family changes or weak parent-child bonds, while overly strong Officer or Kill Stars indicate health risks. The Guan Sha system is based on numerical calculations of the birth hour, aiming to identify vulnerabilities in early life. Birth hour characteristics reflect innate constitution and temperament tendencies, rooted in ancient observations of natural rhythms.
In contemporary terms, children's destiny analysis can be viewed as a risk assessment framework. For example:
For divinatory elements (e.g., Guan Sha), modern applications should focus on:
Ancient destiny analysis reflects the philosophy of harmony between heaven and humanity: life mirrors natural rhythms. Guan Sha and birth hour theories embody reverence for life’s fragility and efforts to grasp uncertainty through patterns. From a modern perspective, this encourages acceptance of innate conditions while emphasizing the shaping power of effort and environment—destiny analysis is not fixed but a dynamic tool prompting optimized nurturing strategies.
Contemporary scholars like Li Juming integrate destiny analysis with child developmental psychology, proposing "Five Elements Parenting Methods" that emphasize environmental adaptation (e.g., Wood-dominant children thriving in creative activities). Empirical research is limited, but the trend is toward demystification, focusing on the psychological suggestive role of cultural symbols.
