天道有寒暖，发育万物，人道行之，不可过也。
原注：阴支为寒，阳支为暖；西北为寒，东南为暖；金水为寒，木火为暖，得气之寒，遇暖而发；得气之暖，逢寒而成。寒之甚，瞹之至，内有一二成象，必无好处，若五阳逢子月，则一阳之候，万物怀胎，阳乘阳位，可东可西；五阴逢午月，则一阴之候，万物收藏，阴乘阴位，可南可北。
任氏曰：寒暖者，生成万物之理也，不可专执西北金水为守则，东南木火为瞹。考机之所，由变上升，必变下降，收合必变开辟，然质之成，由于形之机；阳之生，必有阴之位，阳主生物，非阴无以成，形不成，亦虚生；阴主成物，非阳无以生，质不生，何由成？惟阴阴阳中和变化，乃能发育万物，若有一阳而无阴以成之，有一阴而无阳以生之，是谓鳏寡，无生成之意也。如此推祥，不但阴阳配合，而寒暖亦不过矣。竟四时之序，相生而成，岂可执定子月阳生，午月阴生而论哉？本文末句"不可过也"，适中而已矣。寒虽甚，要暖有气，暖虽至，要寒有根，则能生成万物。若寒甚而瞹无气；过于暖者，反以无寒为宜也。盖寒极暖之机，暖极寒之兆也，所谓阴极则阳生，阳极则阴生，此天地自然之理也。
甲申 丙子 庚辰 戊寅
丁丑 戊寅 己卯 庚辰 辛巳 壬午
此寒金冷水，木凋土寒，若非寅时，则年月木火无根，不能作用矣，所谓寒虽甚，要暖有气也。由引论之，年得者寅也，地气上升，木火绝处逢生，一阳解冻。然不动丙火高亦不发，妙在寅中遥冲，谓之动，动则生火矣。凡四柱紧冲为克，遥冲为动，更喜运走东南，科甲出身，仕至黄堂，所谓"得气之寒，遇暖而发"，此之谓也。
己酉 丙子 庚辰 甲申
乙亥 甲戌 癸酉 壬申 辛未 庚午
此亦寒金冷水，土冻木凋，与前大同小异，前则有寅木，火有根，此则无寅木，火临绝，所谓寒甚而瞹无气，反以无瞹为美，所以初运乙亥，北主水地，有喜无忧；甲戌暗藏丁火，为丙火之根，刑丧破耗；壬运克去丙火，入申运食廪，癸酉财业日增，辛未运转南方，丙火得地生根，破耗多端；庚午运逢寅年，木火齐来，不禄。
丁丑 丙午 丙午 壬辰
己巳 甲辰 癸卯 壬寅 辛丑 庚子
此火焰南离，重逢刽刃，暖之至矣。一点壬水，本不足以制猛烈之火，喜其坐辰，通根身库；更可爱者，年支丑土，丑乃北方湿土，能生金晦火而蓄水，所谓暖虽至而寒有根也。科甲出身，仕至封疆，微嫌运途欠畅，多于起伏也。
癸未 丁巳 丙午 癸巳
丙辰 乙卯 甲寅 癸丑 壬子 辛亥
此支类南方，又生巳时，暖之至矣。天干丙癸，地支全无根气，所谓暖之至，寒无根，反以无寒为美。所以初运丙辰，叨荫庇之福；乙卯甲寅，泄水生火，家业增新；癸丑寒气通根，叹椿萱之并逝，嗟兰桂之摧残；壬子运，祝融之变，家破而亡.
The natural order encompasses fluctuations between cold and warm, driving the growth and development of all things 🌱. When humans adhere to this principle, they must avoid extremes and imbalances.
Original Annotation Analysis:
Ren's Supplement:
Cold and warm are the fundamental principles of all growth 🌍. It is overly rigid to assume that the northwest (Metal-Water) must always be cold or the southeast (Wood-Fire) must always be warm. In nature, ascent is inevitably paired with descent, and closure follows opening—this is the essence of Yin-Yang interaction.
Case Study 1:
This chart features cold Metal and frigid Water (Geng Metal Daymaster born in Zi month), with withered Wood and frozen Earth, appearing bleak ❄️. Fortunately, the time branch Yin Wood (a root of warmth 🔥) grounds the Wood-Fire in the year and month, achieving "extreme cold tempered by latent warmth." The distant clash of Yin Wood (not direct) activates Fire energy, symbolizing the rise of earthly energy 🌱. With favorable southeast luck periods, the individual excelled academically, rising to a governorship—demonstrating "prosperity through the meeting of cold and warmth."
Case Study 2:
Similar to the first case, this cold Metal-Water chart lacks the Yin Wood warm root 🔥, resulting in "extreme cold without warmth," making the absence of warmth preferable (to avoid depletion by false Fire). Early luck in Yi Hai (Water-cold phase) was smooth; Jia Xu (hidden Ding Fire) brought losses; after Ren Shen, fortunes improved; Xin Wei (Southern Fire phase) caused setbacks; in Geng Wu, a Yin year (Wood-Fire surge) marked the individual's passing—highlighting the perils of imbalance.
Case Study 3:
This chart blazes with Southern Fire (Bing Fire Daymaster in double Wu month), extreme warmth 🔥. A hint of Ren Water (cold ❄️) seems feeble but is rooted in the Chen reservoir, aided by the Chou year branch (damp Earth storing Water 🌊), forming "extreme warmth anchored by cold." The individual achieved scholarly honors and high office, though with some career fluctuations.
Case Study 4:
The branches form a pure Southern Fire configuration (Si-Wu-Wei), extreme warmth 🔥. The heavenly stems' Bing and Gui float rootless, representing "extreme warmth without cold roots," making the absence of cold advantageous. Early luck in Bing Chen relied on ancestral wealth; Yi Mao and Jia Yin boosted fortunes; Gui Chou (cold taking root) saw parental loss and financial decline; in Ren Zi, a fire disaster 🔥 led to ruin—underscoring the fragility of ungrounded cold.
The theory of cold and warm reveals that dynamic Yin-Yang balance is the cornerstone of all development ⚖️. Cold (contraction, calm) and warmth (expansion, vigor) must counterbalance each other; excessive bias risks systemic collapse, mirroring the inevitability of seasonal cycles in nature.
