看命入式
五行提纲凡看命排下八字，以日干为主，取年为根，为上祖财产，知世派之盛衰。取月为苗，为父母，则知亲荫之有无。日干为己身，日支为妻妾，则知妻妾之贤淑。时为花实，为子息，方知嗣续之所归。法分月气浅深得令不得令，年时露出财官，须要身旺。如身衰财旺，财多反破财伤妻。身旺财多，财亦旺，财多称意。若无财官，次看印绶。得何局式，吉凶断之。学者不可拘执而不知通变也。
秘法取年干为祖，支为祖母，月干为父，月支为母兄弟副之。日为己身，支为委妾，时干为子，时支为女。看其生旺刑克如何?以定得失。

Overall Paraphrased Translation
The core method of Eight Characters (Bazi) metaphysics revolves around the Day Master (the heavenly stem of the birth day) as the central reference point for the entire fate chart. The Year Pillar symbolizes ancestral roots, reflecting family heritage and the depth of material foundations; the Month Pillar represents parental support and resources, as well as the energy intensity during one’s growth phase; the Day Master represents the individual, while the Earthly Branch of the Day Pillar corresponds to the spouse and marital quality; the Hour Pillar indicates children’s fortune and the accumulation of achievements in later life. Analysis must focus on the prosperity or decline (strength or weakness) of the Five Elements in each pillar relative to the Season (birth month). If wealth stars or official stars appear in the Year or Hour Pillar, the Day Master must be strong to bear them—a weak Day Master with excessive wealth may lead to financial loss or harm to the spouse, while a strong Day Master with abundant wealth can bring both prosperity and honor. If wealth or official stars are absent, the seal pattern should be examined next, with judgments of fortune or misfortune based on specific combinations. Remember: Practitioners must remain flexible and adaptable, avoiding rigid applications.
Secret principles further elaborate: The Year Stem represents the grandfather, the Year Branch the grandmother; the Month Stem represents the father, the Month Branch the mother (also reflecting siblings); the Day Stem represents oneself, the Day Branch the spouse or partner; the Hour Stem represents sons, the Hour Branch daughters. The gains and losses in relationships and various aspects of life are determined by analyzing the interactions—production, restriction, clash, and conflict—as well as the strength or weakness of the stems and branches in each pillar.
Pattern selection requires meticulous discernment and careful weighing of priorities. The core remains the Day Master, combined with the energy of the Season’s Five Elements, and a comprehensive view of the six key elements: wealth, official, seal, food, hurt, and kill. If the configuration is pure and extraordinary, it often indicates a life of fortune and nobility. The most critical taboos are clashes, conflicts, breaks, and harms among the Earthly Branches of the four pillars, requiring careful assessment of the Season’s influence and the Five Elements’ prosperity and decline system. The general principle is: The Day Master is the foundation, the Season’s energy is the key reference for the useful spirit, and the four pillars (Year, Month, Day, Hour) form the basis for practical analysis. The specific chain of analysis is: If an official star is present, check if a wealth star supports it; if a wealth star is present, check if a kill star restrains it; if a kill star is present, check if a seal star transforms it; if a seal star is present, check if an official star produces it. An ancient verse states: “First official, second seal, third wealth, fourth kill, fifth food, sixth hurt officer”—this order implies a hierarchy of priority, but the Day Master’s state (supported or restricted) must first be determined to distinguish nobility, commonness, fortune, or misfortune.
Bazi metaphysics embodies a philosophy of systems thinking and dynamic balance: Personal destiny is not isolated but embedded in a complex system of family heritage, era background, and personal choices. It emphasizes the importance of timing (“in season” or “out of season”) and the art of energy management (“strong” or “weak”), resonating deeply with modern success studies, psychology, and management science.
