首出浑沌，判乾坤而生人物；继兴太昊，制嫁娶以合夫妻? 迄今数千百年化生不绝，虽至几亿万世络绎无穷? 盖得阴阳交感，方能胎孕相生，先看子孙，便知男女? 阳为男子，掌中探见；一枝新阴，是女儿门? （右喜看弧帨说?）此段疑原文脱漏?
主星生旺，当生俊秀之肥儿；命曜休囚，必产委靡之弱子? 如无福德，莫究胎爻?双胎双福必双生，一克二刑终一梦? 胎临官鬼，怀妊便有采薪忧；财化子孙，分娩即当勿药喜? 妻财一位，喜见扶持，胎福二爻，怕逢伤害? 虎作血神值子交重胎已破；龙为喜气遇胎发动日将临? 福遇龙空胎动乃堕胎虚喜；官当虎动福空乃半产空娠? 福已动而日又冲胎，儿必预生于膝下；福被伤而胎仍化鬼，子当屈死于腹中?
兄动兮不利其妻，父兴兮难为厥子? 用在空亡逢恶煞，何妨坐草之虞；妻临玄武入阴宫，果应梦兰之兆? 克世克身，诞生日迫；不冲不发，产日时迟? 胎福齐兴，官父合临产难生；子财皆绝，日辰扶将危有救? 间合间生，全赖收生之力；官空官伏，定然遗腹之儿?
游魂卦官鬼空亡，乃背爹落地；发动爻父兄刑害，必携子归泉? 官化福胎前多病，财化鬼产后多灾；三合成兄儿缺乳，六冲遇子父安然? 应若逢空，外家无催生之礼物；世如值弟，自家调理绝之肥甘? 阳福会青龙，无异桂庭之秀子；阴孙非月建，何殊桃洞之仙姬?
若卜有孕无孕，须详胎伏胎飞? 出现空亡，将衃而复散；交重化绝，既孕而不成? 姅必逢官，紞须遇虎? 带令星而获助存没咸安；有阴地而无伤缓急非益?
如逢玄武，暗里成胎；若遇文书，此前无子? 孕形于内，祗因土并勾陈；胎隐于中，端为临龙合德? 若问收生之妇，休将两间而推；如占代养之娘，须以一财而断? 兄动兮手低，乳母须防盗物；父兴兮乳少，老娘窃恐伤胎? 子孙发动，乳母手段更高能；兄鬼交重，祸甚世机犹反复? 财合福爻，善能调护；身生子位，理会维持? 如逢相克相冲，决见多灾多咎?
The universe initially separated from chaos; heaven and earth (Qian and Kun) were determined, giving birth to humanity and all things. Subsequently, the Taihao clan rose and established the marriage system to unite husband and wife. For thousands of years, humanity has flourished continuously, and even for billions of generations, it will persist without end. 🌌 This is all due to the interaction and resonance of yin and yang, enabling conception and birth. When divining, first observe the Offspring Line to know the gender of the fetus: a yang line represents a male, like discovering a new branch in hand; a yin line represents a female, symbolizing the gate of femininity. (Note on the right: There may be omissions in the original text regarding the discussion of "arc and sash"?)
If the ruling star (Offspring Line) is strong, a healthy and handsome, robust baby should be born; if the fate star (related lines) is weak or in a dormant state, a frail and weak child is certain. If the Virtue Line does not appear, there is no need to delve deeply into the condition of the Fetal Line. The appearance of twin lines or double Virtue Lines indicates the possibility of twins; if one line is restrained or two lines are harmed, it may ultimately be nothing but an empty dream. If the Fetal Line is adjacent to the Official Ghost Line, there will be illness and worry during pregnancy (concern of gathering firewood); if the Wife/Wealth Line transforms into the Offspring Line, there will be joy without the need for medicine during childbirth. 👶
If the Wife/Wealth Line appears alone, it is auspicious to see supporting forces; both the Fetal Line and the Virtue Line (Offspring Line) fear encountering harm or clash. The White Tiger, as the blood deity, when overlapping with the Offspring Line, indicates the rupture of the amniotic sac; the Azure Dragon, as an auspicious energy, when meeting the Fetal Line in motion, signifies that the delivery date is imminent. If the Virtue Line (Offspring) encounters the Azure Dragon but is in emptiness, fetal movement may lead to miscarriage or false joy; if the Official Ghost Line activates with the White Tiger while the Virtue Line is empty, it may indicate premature birth or an empty pregnancy. If the Virtue Line is in motion but the daily stem clashes with the Fetal Line, the child may be born early at the knee; if the Virtue Line is harmed and the Fetal Line still transforms into the Official Ghost Line, the fetus may die in the womb. ⚠️
If the Sibling Line activates, it is unfavorable for the wife; if the Parent Line rises, it is difficult for the son. If the used line is in emptiness and encounters malevolent forces, why worry about the hardships of childbirth (sitting on grass); if the Wife/Wealth Line is adjacent to the Dark Warrior and enters the yin palace, it indeed corresponds to the omen of dreaming of orchids (pregnancy). If it restrains the World Line or the body line, the birth date is approaching; if there is no clash or activation, the delivery date is delayed. If both the Fetal Line and Virtue Line are active, and the Official Ghost Line and Parent Line are jointly present, childbirth will be difficult; if both the Offspring Line and Wife/Wealth Line are exhausted but supported by the daily stem, there is rescue in danger. If the intervening lines combine or generate, it fully relies on the midwife's skill; if the Official Ghost Line is empty or hidden, it certainly indicates a posthumous child. 🤰
In the Wandering Soul hexagram, if the Official Ghost Line is empty, the baby will be born without a father (fatherless at birth); if the activating lines involve the Parent or Sibling Lines being harmed, it inevitably means mother and child returning to the spring (both dying). If the Official Ghost Line transforms into the Virtue Line, there will be many illnesses before birth; if the Wife/Wealth Line transforms into the Official Ghost Line, there will be many disasters after childbirth; if three lines combine into the Sibling Line, the child will lack milk; if six clashes meet the Offspring Line, the father will be safe. If the Response Line encounters emptiness, the external family lacks gifts for encouraging childbirth; if the World Line is valued as the Sibling Line, the family lacks nutrition in self-care. If the yang Virtue Line meets the Azure Dragon, it is no different from a laurel-court outstanding son (excellent son); if the yin Offspring Line is not the month's establishment, how is it different from a peach-grotto fairy maiden (ordinary daughter). 🎁
To divine whether there is pregnancy or not, one must carefully examine whether the Fetal Line is hidden or appearing. If it appears but is empty, pregnancy will dissipate again; if overlapping transforms into exhaustion, pregnancy exists but will not come to fruition. Miscarriage (small birth) must encounter the Official Ghost Line; full-term birth must meet the White Tiger. If carrying the commanding star (strong and supported), both existence and non-existence are safe; if there is a yin place (protection) without harm, slowness or urgency is not beneficial.
If encountering the Dark Warrior, conception occurs secretly (hidden pregnancy); if encountering the Document Line (Parent Line), there were no children before. The pregnancy form is within, only because earth combines with the Gouchen; the fetus hides within, precisely because it approaches the dragon and combines with virtue. If asking about the midwife, do not deduce using the two intervening lines; if divining about the wet nurse, one must judge based on a single Wealth Line. If the Sibling Line activates, the skill is poor (low technique), and the wet nurse must guard against theft; if the Parent Line rises, milk is scarce, and the old mother secretly fears harming the fetus. If the Offspring Line activates, the wet nurse's methods are more capable; if sibling and ghost lines overlap repeatedly, the disaster is severe, and worldly opportunities still fluctuate. If wealth combines with the Virtue Line, she is good at care and protection; if the body generates the offspring position, she understands how to maintain. If encountering mutual restraint or clash, it certainly indicates many disasters and misfortunes. 🔥🌊
The core of this passage is the application of the Six Lines divination principles from the Book of Changes, analyzing elements such as the Offspring Line, Fetal Line, and Official Ghost Line in the hexagram to predict pregnancy, childbirth processes, and fetal health. It emphasizes that the interaction of yin and yang is the foundation of reproduction and focuses on the strength, weakness, and generative-restraining relationships of the lines to deduce auspicious or inauspicious outcomes. Essentially, it is an ancient symbolic interpretation of life conception, combining natural philosophy and divination practice.
In a modern context, this can be seen as a traditional risk assessment and psychological comfort tool. For example:
