子女根枝一世传，喜神看与杀相连。
原注：大率依官看子，如喜神即是官星，其子贤俊，喜神与官星不相妒亦好，否则无子，
或不肖，或有克。然看官星，又要活法，如官轻须要助官；杀重身轻，只要印比；无官星，
只论财；若官星阻滞，要生扶冲发；官星泄气太重，须合助遥会；若杀得身轻而无制者，多
女。
任氏曰：以官为子之说，细究之，终有犯上之嫌。夫官者，管也。朝廷设官，官治万民，
则不敢妄为，循守规矩。家庭必酋长为管，出入动作，皆遵祖父训是也。不服官府之治者，
则为逆子；夫命者理也，岂可以民为子而犯上乎？莫非论命竟可无君无父乎？谚云，“父在
子不得自专”，若以官为子，父反以子管治，显见父不得自专矣，故俗以克父克母为是，有
是理乎？今更定以食伤为子女。
书云，“食神有寿妻多子，时逢七煞本无儿”，“食神有制定多儿”，此两说，可谓确据矣。
然此亦死法，倘局中无食伤无官杀者，又作何论？故命理不可执一，总要变通为是，先将食
伤认定，然后再看日主之衰旺，四柱之喜忌则用之。故“喜神看与杀相连”者，乃通变之至
论也。
日主旺，无印绶，有食伤，子必多。
日主旺，印绶重，食伤轻，子必少。
日主旺，印绶重，食伤轻，有财星，子多而贤。
日主旺，印绶多，无食伤，有财星，子多而能。
日主弱，印绶轻，有财星，子必无。
日主弱，食伤重，印绶无，亦无子。
日主弱，食伤轻，无比劫，有官星，子必无。
日主弱，官杀重，印绶轻，微伏财，必多女。
日主弱，七杀重，食伤轻，有比劫，女多子少。
日主弱，官杀重，无印比，子必无。
日主旺，食伤轻，逢印绶，遇财星，子少孙多。
日主旺，印绶重，官杀轻，有财星，子虽克则有孙。日主旺，食伤旺，有印绶，遇财星，虽有若无。
日主弱，官杀旺，有印绶，遇财星，有子必逆。
又有日主旺，无印绶，食伤伏，有官杀，子必多者。
又有日主旺，比劫多，无印绶，食伤伏，子必多者。盖母多灭子之意也。故木多火熄，
金克木则生火；火多土焦，水克火则生土；土重金埋，木克土则生金；金多水渗，火克金刚
水克火则生水；水多木浮，土克水则生木。以官杀为子也，此之谓也。明虽以官杀为子也，
暗仍以食伤为子，此逆局反克相生之法，非竟以官杀为子也。大率身旺财为子，身衰印作儿，
此皆余之试验者，故敢更定，仔细推之，无不应也。（用神为子，忌神为女）
辛丑 辛丑 戊戌 癸丑
庚子 己亥 戊戌 丁酉 丙申 乙未
此造日主旺，比劫多，年月伤官并透通根，丑为湿土，能生金蓄水，戌为火库，日主临
之，不致寒冻也，是以家业富厚，更喜运走西方不悖，余虽断其多子，实不敢定其数目，询
之云，自十六岁生子，每年得一子，连生十六子，并无损伤。此因命之美，印星不现，辛金
明润不杂木火之妙也。
癸亥 甲子 丁酉 癸卯
癸亥 壬戌 辛酉 庚申 己未 戊午
此造杀官当令，嫌其甲木透干，不能弃命从杀，只得杀重用印，则忌卯酉逢冲，去甲木
之旺地。所生妻生八女，妾生入女，竟儿子。所谓身衰印作和，此财星坏印之故也，。
乙未 辛巳 戊戌 丁巳
庚辰 己卯 戊寅 丁丑 丙子 乙亥
戊土生于巳月，柱中火土本旺，辛金露而无根；兼之己时，丁火独透克辛，局中全无湿
气；更嫌年干乙木，助火之烈，所以克两妻，生十二子，刑逝十子。现存二子。
戊子 癸亥 壬戌 甲辰
甲子 乙丑 丙寅 丁卯 戊辰 己巳
壬水生于孟冬，喜其无金，食神独透，所以书香小就，甲寅入泮，有十子皆育。其不妻
者，无财之妙也；秋闱不利者，无地寅卯也。此造如戌土换之以木，青云得路矣。
庚寅 丙戌 辛亥 辛卯丁亥 戊子 己丑 庚寅 辛卯 壬辰
辛金生于戌月，印星当令；又寅 拱丙生天干，比劫不能下生亥水；又亥卯拱木，四柱
皆成财官，二妻四妾生三子皆克，生十二女又克其九。还喜秋金有气，家业丰隆。
丁酉 丁未 戊戌 丁巳
丙午 乙巳 甲辰 癸卯 壬寅 辛丑
土生夏令，重叠印绶 ，四柱全无水气，燥土不泄火生金，克三妻五子。至丑运湿土晦
火生金，又会金局，得一子方育。
由此数造观之，食神伤官为子也明矣。凡子息之有无，命中有一定之理，命中子只有五
数，水一火二木三金四土五也。当令者倍之，休囚者减半，除加减之外而多者，此秉赋之故
也。
辛卯 辛卯 甲辰 丁卯
庚寅 己丑 戊子 丁亥 丙戌 乙酉
此造春木雄壮，金透无根，喜其丁火透露，伤其辛金，所以已丑戊子运中，不但得子不
育，而且财多破耗，丁亥支拱木而干透火，丁财并益，丙戌俞美，生五子，家业增新，由此
观之，凡八字之用神即是子星，如用神是火，其子必在木火运星，或木火流年得；如不是木
火运年得，必子息翕中多木火，或木火日主，否则难抬，或不肖，试之屡验，然命内用神，
不物妻财子禄，而穷通寿夭，皆在用神一字定之，其可忽诸？
Children are the foundation of bloodline continuation. Judging offspring conditions requires analyzing the relationship between the Joyous God and the Seven Killings. Traditionally, the Officer Star represents children, but if the Joyous God is the Officer Star, the children will be virtuous and capable. If there is no conflict between the two, it is also favorable; otherwise, it may result in no children, unworthy descendants, or mutual conflicts. In practice, flexible analysis is needed: if the Officer Star is weak, support is required; when the Killing is heavy and the body is light, reliance on the Seal and Comparable elements is necessary; if there is no Officer Star, observe the Wealth Star; if the Officer Star is obstructed, it needs nurturing or stimulation; if the Officer Star is excessively drained, it requires consolidation and assistance; if the Killing is heavy and uncontrolled, it often results in more daughters.
Ren Shi pointed out: The theory that the Officer represents children implies a "rebellion" issue—the Officer symbolizes governance, as the court governs the people, and the family follows paternal authority. If the Officer is regarded as the child, it means the father is governed by the son, violating ethics. Therefore, it was revised to "Food and Injury represent children." Although classics mention phrases like "Food God brings longevity, a wife with many children," destiny analysis rejects dogma. First, confirm the Food and Injury, then combine it with the Day Master's strength and the four pillars' preferences for a comprehensive judgment. "The Joyous God connected with the Killing" embodies this adaptive essence.
The quantity and quality of children depend on the balance of the Five Elements:
Special Cases: A strong Day Master without a Seal, with hidden Food and Injury and Officer/Killing → many children; a strong Day Master with many Comparable elements and no Seal, hidden Food and Injury → many children (due to "excessive mother extinguishing the child," e.g., too much wood stifles fire, but metal克制 wood反而生火). Superficially using the Officer/Killing, but fundamentally relying on Food and Injury, reflects the principle of "reverse restraint and mutual generation." Final conclusion: When the body is strong, Wealth represents children; when the body is weak, Seal acts as children. The Useful God represents children, while the Taboo God represents daughters.
This chart features a strong Day Master (戊土) with many Comparable elements, and the Year/Month pillars reveal the Injury Officer with strong roots. The 丑土 stores water and generates metal, while 戌土 warms the chart, indicating a wealthy family. The Western fortune was smooth, predicting many children. Indeed, from age 16, he fathered 16 sons, all healthy and unharmed, as the Seal Star was absent, and the 辛金 remained pure, unaffected by wood or fire.
In this chart, the Killing and Officer dominate, with 甲木 exposed but unable to submit to the Killing. The heavy Killing relies on the Seal but encounters the 卯酉 clash. His legal wife bore eight daughters, and concubines bore another eight, with no sons. This aligns with "when the body is weak, the Seal acts as children," but Wealth spoiled the Seal, resulting in no sons.
戊土 born in the 巳 month (strong fire), 辛金 rootless and克制 by 丁火, the chart is excessively dry with no moisture, and 乙木 intensifies the fire. He lost two wives, and of twelve sons, ten died young, leaving only two.
壬水 born in winter, unperturbed by metal, with the Food God alone exposed. He passed the imperial exams as a scholar and fathered ten successful sons. Without Wealth, he did not克妻, but the lack of wood in the earthly branches limited his official achievements.
辛金 born in the 戌 month, with a strong Seal but Wealth and Officer forming a favorable pattern. Two wives and four concubines bore three sons who all died young, and twelve daughters, of whom nine perished. Autumn metal sustained a prosperous family.
Earth born in summer, with overlapping Seals and no water to moisten the dryness. He lost three wives and five sons. During the 丑运 (damp earth generating metal), one son survived.
Spring wood is vigorous, metal weak and rootless, and 丁火 Injury Officer restrains 辛. Early子嗣不育破财, but later, during fire运, he gained five sons and a thriving family. This proves the Useful God is the child star—if fire is the Useful God, children are likely during wood/fire运 or years, or the offspring's Bazi features abundant wood/fire.
In summary, the theory that Food and Injury represent children is validated. The number of children is determined by the Five Elements' counts (water 1, fire 2, wood 3, metal 4, earth 5), doubled when in season, halved when dormant, with the rest attributed to individual differences.
Judging children requires transcending the ethical contradiction of "Officer as children," focusing on Food and Injury as the core, combined with the Day Master's strength and the Five Elements' interactions. Emphasizing the dynamic balance of "when the body is strong, Wealth represents children; when weak, the Seal acts as children," it rejects rigid rules, advocating the adaptive thinking of "the Joyous God connected with the Killing."

|---|---|---|
| Heavy Seal, light Food/Injury | Delay生育, enhance nutrition | Pre-pregnancy health tracking |
| Many Comparable elements, no Food/Injury | Quantify亲子互动 (10h+/week) | Assess child's社交能力 |
Destiny reveals "balance as传承"—e.g., "母多灭子" (excessive wood stifles fire) warns against overprotection扼杀independence. Modernly, it elevates: children are not "continuation tools" but life force流动, requiring parents to balance restraint (Officer/Killing) and放手 (Food/Injury).
