楠曰：合禄格者，盖取六戊日，逢庚申时，原四柱无官印，方取此格。盖取时上庚，合起乙木为戊土星也。只畏甲木克戊，制了本身。又畏丙字破了庚字，不能合乙。又畏寅字冲破了申字，又畏卯字见了官星。书云庚申时逢戊日，名食神干旺之乡，岁月犯甲丙卯寅，此乃遇而不遇，缘此格只作时上食神格。若岁月无官杀，此格亦出正理，只要不伤破庚申两字，亦多有验。一拱贵格，盖只取甲寅一个日主，见甲子时，何为贵？盖取甲日取辛金官为贵，盖拱丑中辛金官贵也，盖取子寅两字为佳，丑字在中间走不得耳。又取日时丙甲夹住丑中辛金，只畏庚字来破甲，则不能不拱。又畏申字破寅字，则亦不能拱。丑亦畏午字，冲破子字，亦不能拱。丑又畏庚辛申酉己丑破格。此格颇验，便（不）要得中和，太旺太弱尔不取。帮原此格盖丑中辛金为贵，又取甲日见丑，为天乙贵人之义也。
《格解》云：秋冬生者为妙。
《喜忌篇》云：庚申时逢戊日，名食神干旺之方，岁月犯甲丙卯寅，此乃遇而不遇。
补曰：此段旧注谓专旺食神格，而或者又谓合神格，亦通。盖合禄格，原乡戊日庚申时，癸日庚申时，二日食神合禄，喜忌本同。
旧赋云：此格六戊日生者，以庚申时，虚合卯中乙木为官星贵气。若四柱中丙甲为杀，卯为官，丙为枭。庚寅冲申，及巳字刑申，则坏了贵气，此乃遇而不遇。若生秋冬之月，身财两旺，又不犯官杀刑冲破害及枭，则富贵非轻，故曰纯粹，主大贵，填实减大半。
古歌云：申时戊时食神奇，最喜秋冬福有余。丙甲卯寅来克破，遇而不遇主孤贫。
六癸日为主，喜逢庚申时合巳中戊土，癸日得官星。若四柱中有戌字并巳字，刑坏子申时，或丙字，及伤庚申时，则减分数，岁君大运亦然。又曰四柱中原无官星，方用此格。

Overall Translation
The Combined Lu Pattern is a special configuration in Eight Characters (Bazi) astrology, primarily applicable to individuals born on the six Wu days (Wu Yin, Wu Chen, Wu Wu, Wu Shen, Wu Xu, Wu Zi) during the Geng Shen hour. If the four pillars lack interference from the Officer Star (官星) or the Seal Star (印星), this pattern is established. The principle is that the Geng Metal (庚金) in the hour pillar can "combine" to draw out Yi Wood (乙木), which is the rightful Officer (正官) of Wu Earth (戊土), creating a hidden aura of official nobility 🌱. However, this pattern is highly sensitive: it fears Jia Wood (甲木) overcoming Wu Earth (七杀攻身), Bing Fire (丙火) overcoming Geng Metal (disrupting the combining mechanism), Yin Wood (寅木) clashing with Shen Metal (申金) (shaking the foundation), and the appearance of Mao Wood (卯木) (as the explicit Officer negates the need for "hidden combination"). Ancient texts refer to this pattern as "the land of prosperous Devouring Spirit (食神)," but if characters like Jia, Bing, Mao, or Yin appear in the year or month pillars, it becomes "encountered yet not encountered"—seemingly a pattern but actually broken, and must be viewed as ordinary. As long as the characters Geng Shen remain unharmed, this pattern often proves effective.
Another pattern, the "Arch Nobility Pattern (拱贵格)," specifically refers to individuals with Jia Yin (甲寅) as the Day Master encountering Jia Zi (甲子) hour. This is because Zi (子) and Yin (寅) "arch" to form Chou (丑) (the Heavenly Noble Person, 天乙贵人) between them, and Chou contains Xin Metal (辛金), the rightful Officer of Jia (甲) 🤴. This pattern dislikes Geng Metal (庚金) breaking Jia, Shen Metal (申金) clashing with Yin, Wu Fire (午火) clashing with Zi, and also dislikes characters like Geng, Xin, Shen, You, Ji, and Chou directly filling or breaking the Chou treasury. This pattern has a relatively high degree of efficacy but requires the Eight Characters to have balanced strength; being too strong or too weak prevents the pattern from forming.
Ge Jie supplement: This pattern is better if born in autumn or winter ❄️.
Xi Ji Pian emphasizes: The Geng Shen hour on a Wu day is originally a prosperous land for the Devouring Spirit, but if Jia, Bing, Mao, or Yin are seen in the year or month, the pattern is broken.
Additional note: This pattern can also be called the "Combined Spirit Pattern (合神格)," and the six Gui days (癸日) encountering Geng Shen hour follow a similar principle (Geng combines with the Wu Earth hidden in Si to act as the Officer Star for Gui), with identical preferences and taboos.
Ancient verse summary:
Wu day, Shen hour, the Devouring Spirit is miraculous;
Those born in autumn and winter enjoy thick blessings;
If Bing, Jia, Mao, or Yin appear,
The pattern is broken, leading to loneliness and poverty 📉.
