楠曰:岁德抚杀格者,如四柱日主旺健,见年岁上杀星出,可多假此钉,以作威权。四柱八字,以年上官杀为年之令,其杀比日时不同。若年上天干地支俱有杀,再加日有杀,金作杀重身轻,宜行制杀运。如年上杀轻,亦宜杀旺之旺地。轻重不同,斟不入也。补曰:是也。如年为君位,日为臣位,臣得君权。又如年为祖,日为己身,杀有制,则上祖曾为要职也。
《纂要》歌曰:年上偏官为岁杀,食神印绶福兴隆。不会官星财旺地,雁塔题名有路通。
古歌曰:岁德壬来见戊年,财旺身强禄自然。更得运来财旺地,文章聪慧更忠贤。
问抚杀格,《格解》所收诗歌,喜柱运财旺生杀。《纂要》所载喜食神印绶制杀。经杀格同,而辞意不同何也?盖身强杀无根,喜财旺生杀,不宜言制,故曰无犯鬼轻,制却为非。身弱杀有根,喜食印制化,不宜财生,故曰杀旺有制却为贵本。二者各有攸宜,论者当轻重较量。说诗者,贵以意逆志。
又补岁德扶财格
《渊海》注曰:且如甲人见戊己年是也。若财命有气,则主其人得上祖物业,身弱者不近祖也,故曰年上财官生于富贵之家,须要身旺,可以当之。
Overall Meaning
The Pattern of Yearly Virtue Supporting the Kill refers to a Bazi (Eight Characters) configuration where the Day Master is inherently strong 🌱, and the Year Pillar (the heavenly stem and earthly branch of the birth year) contains the Seven Killings Star ⚠️. The Year Pillar symbolizes ancestry, authority, and the early environment, and its influence is more substantial than that of the Day and Hour Pillars. If both the heavenly stem and earthly branch of the Year Pillar carry the Seven Killings, and the Day Pillar also contains the Seven Killings, it can easily form a situation of "excessive kill and weak body," requiring a luck cycle that restrains the kill (such as the Food and Injury or Seal stars) to achieve balance. If the Seven Killings in the Year Pillar is weak, it is instead advisable to enter a cycle where the kill is strengthened (such as Wealth or Official luck) to enhance its power. This pattern is akin to a minister receiving authorization from the monarch or ancestors having held significant positions, and its analysis must be flexibly combined with the overall strength of the chart.
Vernacular Translation of Ancient Texts and Poetic Formulas
Compiled Essentials Formula:
"The Partial Officer in the Year Pillar is the Yearly Kill; encountering the Food God or Seal star brings prosperity." → If the Seven Killings in the Year Pillar is restrained or transformed by the Food God or Seal star, blessings abound.
"Without interference from the Officer star and in a Wealth-prosperity cycle, a path to fame and success opens." → If no Officer star interferes and Wealth luck prevails, academic or career success is achievable (referring to achieving recognition).
Example from an Ancient Poem:
"The Yearly Virtue, Ren, appears in the Wu year." → For example, a Ren Water Day Master encountering a Wu Earth heavenly stem in the year (Ren conquers Wu, forming the kill).
"With prosperous Wealth and a strong body, status comes naturally." → A strong body combined with Wealth luck strengthening the kill naturally leads to rank and position.
Note: In the poetic formula, "Yearly Virtue" specifically refers to the heavenly stem Seven Killings in the Year Pillar, not the Heavenly Virtue Nobleman.
