造化起于元，亦止于贞。再肇贞元之会，胚胎嗣续之机。
原注：三元皆有贞元。如以八字看，以年为元，月为亨，日为利，时为贞。年月吉者，
前半世吉，日时吉者，后半世吉。以大运看，以初十五年为元，次十五年为亨，中十五年为
利，后十五年为贞。元亨运吉者，前半世吉，利贞运吉者，后半世吉，皆贞元之道。然有贞
元之妙存焉，非特绝处逢生、北尽东来之意也。至于仁之寿终矣，而既终之后，运之所行，
果所喜者欤？则其家必兴；果所忌者欤？则其家必替。盖以父为贞，子为元也。贞下起元之
妙，生生不息之机。予著此论，非欲人知考之年，而示天下万世，实所以验奕世之兆，而知
数之不可逃也。学者勖之！
任氏曰：贞元之理，河洛图书之旨也；河洛图书之旨，既先后天卦位之易也。先天之卦，
乾南坤北，故西北多山，昆仑为山之宜；东南多水，大海为水之归。是以水从山出，山见水止。夫九河泻地，极汪洋澎湃之势，溯其源，皆星宿也；夫五岳插天，极崇降峻险之形，穷
其本，皆昆仑也。惟人有祖父亦然，虽支分派衍，莫不皆出于一脉。故一阴生于坤之初，一
阳生于乾之始，所以离为日体，坎为月体。而贞元之理，原于纳甲，纳甲之象，出于八卦。
故父乾而母坤，震为长男，继魄纯黑而为坤象。坤者，犹贞之意也。初三光明三分，一阳初
生，震之象也。震者，元之兆也。初八上弦，光明六分，兑之象也，兑者，犹亨之理也。十
八日，月盈而亏缺三分，巽之象也。犹利之义也。是以贞元之道，循不之理，盛极而衰，否
极而泰，亦此意也。观此章之旨，不特人生在世，运吉者昌，运凶者败，至于寿终之后，而
行运仍在，观其运之吉凶，而可知其子孙之 兴替。故其人既终之后，而其家兴旺者，身后
运必吉也；其家衰败者，身后必运必怨也。此论虽造化有定，而数之不可逃，为人子者不可
不知考之年，而善继述之。若考之身后运吉，自可承先启后；如考之身后运凶，亦可安分经
营，挽回造化。若祖宗富贵，自诗书中来，子孙享富贵，即弃诗书者；若祖宗家业，自勤俭
中来，子孙享家业，即忘勤俭者，是割扶桑之干而接于文梓，未有不稿者，决渭河之水，而
入于湿川，鲜有不浊者。何也？其本源各自不相附耳，学者当深思之。

All things begin their development from "Yuan" 🌱 and ultimately return to the stable state of "Zhen" ⛰. When the energy of "Zhen" accumulates to its peak, it initiates a new cycle of "Yuan," which marks the opportunity for the continuation of life and the birth of descendants 🔥.
Four Stages of Life
✨ Timing of Fortunes:
- Auspicious years/months or Yuan/Heng fortunes → Smooth early life.
- Auspicious days/hours or Li/Zhen fortunes → Prosperous later life.
The Mystery of Posthumous Fortune
🌌 Underlying Logic:
Parents represent "Zhen" (the endpoint), while descendants represent "Yuan" (a new beginning), forming an unending chain of "Zhen giving rise to Yuan."
| Traditional Concept | Contemporary Parallel |
|---|---|
| Four Stages of Zhen Yuan | Career Lifecycle Model |
| Posthumous Fortune Effects | Intergenerational Transmission of Family Cultural Capital |
| Ancestral Examination Years | Family Oral History and Genetic Research |
The paradoxical wisdom revealed by "Zhen giving rise to Yuan":
- The strongest vitality lies hidden at what seems like the endpoint (e.g., seeds gathering strength in winter) ❄️→🌱.
- Modern anxiety over the "age 35 crisis" is actually a signal for energy transformation in the "Li/Zhen stage."
💎 Key Reminder: This chapter emphasizes that "destiny is inescapable" not as fatalism but as a warning—
If ancestors built their legacy through scholarship, descendants abandoning learning is like severing roots 🌳.
If ancestors thrived through diligence and frugality, descendants indulging in extravagance is like polluting a clear stream 🌊.
This is essentially the manifestation of the law of energy conservation at the family level.
