False Submission (假从)

六亲论 十四、假从

真从之象有几人，假从亦可发其身。

原注：日主弱矣，财官强矣，不能不从；中有比劫暗生，从之不真。至于岁运财官得地，

虽是假从，亦可取富贵，但其人不能免祸，或心术不端耳。

任氏曰：假从者，如人之根浅力薄，不能自立，局中虽有劫印，亦自顾不暇，而日主亦

难依靠，只得投从于人也。其象不一，非专论财官而已也。与真从大同小异。四柱财官得时

当令，日主虚弱无气，虽有比劫印绶生扶，而柱中食神生财，财仍破印；或有官星制劫，则

日主无从依靠，只得依财官之势，财之势旺，则从财，官之势旺，则从官。从财行食伤财旺

之地，从官行财官之乡，亦能兴发，看其意向，配其行运为是。然假从之象，只要行运安顿，

假行真运，亦可取富贵。何谓真运？如从财有比劫分争行官杀运必贵，行食伤运必富。有印

绶暗生要行财运；有官杀泄气之气 ，要行食伤运。如从官杀，有比劫帮身，逢官运而名高；

有食伤破官，行财运而禄重。有印绶泄官，要财运以破印，谓假行真运，不贵亦富，反此者

凶，或趋势忌义，心术不端耳。若能岁运不悖，抑假扶真，纵使身出微，亦能崛起家声，所

为亦必正矣。此乃源浊流清之象，宜深究之。

癸巳 乙卯 己亥 癸酉

甲寅 癸丑 壬子 辛亥 庚戌 己酉

春土虚脱，杀势当权，财遇旺支，喜其巳亥逢冲破印 ，格成弃命从杀。第卯酉冲杀 ，巳酉半会金局，不作真从而论。所以出身寒微。妙在中隔亥水，谓源浊流清，故能崛起家声，

出类拨萃，早游泮水。壬子运中，连登科甲，以中书而履黄堂，擢观察，辛亥运金虚水实，

相生不悖，仕途平坦；将来庚戈戌，土金并旺，水木两伤，恐不免意外风波耳。

丁丑 壬寅 丙申 壬辰

辛丑 庚子 己亥 戊戌 丁酉 丙申

丙火生于初春，火虚木嫩，嫩木逢金，紧贴相冲，运根拔尽，申金又辰土生扶，杀势愈

旺，格成从杀，用财更妙。年支丑土，生金晦火，故身出官家 ，早登科甲；运走西北金水，

仕至观察，虽逢土运，仍得金以化之，所以无险阻也。

乙卯 己卯 戊辰 癸亥

戊寅 丁丑 丙子 乙亥 甲戌 癸酉

戊土生于仲春，木正当权，坐下辰土，蓄水养木，四柱绝无金气。又得亥时，水旺生木，

又无火以生化之，格取从官，非身衰论也。虽非科甲出身，运走丙子乙亥，连登仕版，位至

封疆；至癸酉运，落职而亡。

丁卯 丙寅 辛亥 庚寅

乙丑 甲子 癸亥 壬戌 辛酉 庚申

辛金生于孟春，天干丙丁庚辛阴阳相克，且金绝火生，地支寅木当令，日时寅亥化木，

格取从杀。运走水地，生木助火，一无凶处，连登甲榜，由县宰至郡守，生三子，皆秀发。

癸亥 乙卯 己未 丁卯

甲寅 癸丑 壬子 辛亥 庚戌 己酉

己土生于仲春，春木当令会局，时干丁火，被年上癸水克去，未土又会木局，不得不从

杀矣。科甲出身，仕至观察。

False Submission (假从)

📚 Di Tian Sui: Analysis of False Submission Pattern

---

🔍 Overall Interpretation

The False Submission Pattern refers to a weak life essence unable to stand on its own, superficially yielding to the dominant influence of wealth (财) or authority (官), but with hidden traces of support from allies (比劫) or nurturing elements (印绶), resulting in "impure submission." If the life path (大运) can suppress these hidden supports, transforming the pattern from "false" to "true," it may still bring prosperity. However, one must guard against unethical behavior or sudden upheavals.

🧩 Structured Components (Case Studies)

1. Case Example: Gui-Si (癸巳), Yi-Mao (乙卯), Ji-Hai (己亥), Gui-You (癸酉)
   Analysis: The weak Ji-Earth (己土) floats without support, while Wood's authority (木杀) dominates. The Si-Fire (巳火) nurturing star is broken by Hai-Water (亥水), making it seem like a submission to authority. However, the Mao-You clash (卯酉冲) and Si-You semi-metal combination (巳酉半合金局) secretly harbor Metal energy resisting authority, hence a false submission.

   **Life Path**: The Ren-Zi (壬子) phase, where Metal and Water nourish each other, brings scholarly success; the Geng-Xu (庚戌) phase, where Earth and Metal flourish, disrupts the pattern.

2. Case Example: Ding-Chou (丁丑), Ren-Yin (壬寅), Bing-Shen (丙申), Ren-Chen (壬辰)
   Analysis: The weak Bing-Fire (丙火) is thinly spread, while Metal and Water dominate. The Chou-Earth (丑土) generates Metal, further aiding authority—a true submission to authority.

   **Life Path**: Northwest Metal-Water phases ensure smooth official career; Earth phases are harmless with Metal's transformation.

3. Case Example: Yi-Mao (乙卯), Ji-Mao (己卯), Wu-Chen (戊辰), Gui-Hai (癸亥)
   Analysis: Wu-Earth (戊土) lacks Fire's support, while Water and Wood unite. The Chen-Earth (辰土) is suppressed by Wood, forming a submission to authority.

   **Life Path**: Water-Wood phases elevate to high office; the Gui-You (癸酉) phase, where Metal breaks Wood, leads to downfall.

4. Case Example: Ding-Mao (丁卯), Bing-Yin (丙寅), Xin-Hai (辛亥), Geng-Yin (庚寅)
   Analysis: Xin-Metal (辛金) lacks roots, with triple Wood transforming into Fire in the earthly branches, and Fire dominating Metal in the heavenly stems—a true submission to authority.

   **Life Path**: Water phases nourish Wood and Fire, ensuring scholarly and official success.

5. Case Example: Gui-Hai (癸亥), Yi-Mao (乙卯), Ji-Wei (己未), Ding-Mao (丁卯)
   Analysis: Ji-Earth (己土) is besieged by Wood, while Ding-Fire (丁火) is broken by Gui-Water (癸水), forming a false submission to authority.

🧠 Deep Insights

💡 Core Concepts

• Essence of False Submission: Superficial submission to a dominant element (wealth/authority) while secretly resisting (through allies/nurturing), creating "form submission, spirit resistance."
• Key to Success/Failure: Whether life phases can suppress hidden resistance, achieving "false pattern, true fortune" (e.g., submission to wealth aided by authority suppressing allies).

🌟 Modern Interpretation

1. Workplace Metaphor:

   • A false submitter joins a dominant team but retains personal views. Full alignment with team rules (suppressing individuality) in critical phases (life paths) is needed for advancement.
   • "Unethical tendencies" warning: Exploiting power for personal gain invites backlash.

2. Risk Alert:

   • False submitters may face sudden crises after success (e.g., Case 1's Geng-Xu upheaval), necessitating risk preparedness.

⚡ Practical Value

• Decision Guide:

  Pattern Type	Favorable Phases	Modern Equivalent Actions
  False Wealth	Resource/Creativity	Engage in creative/financial fields
  False Authority	Wealth/Authority	Enter management, adhere to rules
  Disruptive Phase	Allies/Nurturing	Avoid risks, stay in current role

🤔 Philosophical Reflection

False submission reveals the wisdom of balancing "compromise and integrity": total surrender loses self, while excessive resistance misses opportunities. Modern individuals navigating workplace/social dynamics can adopt "temporary alignment, enduring integrity."
