《喜忌篇》支拱禄拱贵，填实则凶。
补日：禄谓临官之禄，贵为官星之贵，非天乙贵人之贵也。《格解》拱禄是拱财星也，拱贵是拱天乙贵人也，非也。拱禄有五日，五禄中皆无财，何以为之拱财，拱贵有五日虽四日之拱内，亦合看天乙贵人，而非甲之贵人也。官星与贵人拱天乙贵人也。如癸亥日与癸丑时，癸丑（时）[日]与癸亥时，皆拱子中癸水为禄；丁巳日与丁未时，则拱午中丁火为禄；己未日与己巳时，则拱午中己土为禄；戊辰日于戊午时，则拱巳中戊土为禄；此五日五时而拱禄格。如甲申日与甲戌时，则拱酉中辛金为官贵；甲寅日与甲子时，则拱丑中辛金为官贵；戊申日与戊午时，则拱未中乙木为官贵；乙未日与乙酉时，则拱申中庚金为官贵；辛丑日与辛卯时，则拱寅中丙火为官贵；此五日五时为拱贵格。此二格纯粹，大贵。喜身旺印绶伤官食神，忌刑冲了日时拱位，又怕四柱中有伤日干七杀，皆拱不信禄贵。又怕四柱中见禄见贵，谓之填实则凶。盖此二格者，只宜虚拱，如器皿空则能容物，所以填则凶。亦忌禄贵落空。
《鹧鸪天》云：甲寅甲子丑贵乡，戊辰戊午禄中藏。刑冲填实空亡遇，祸患官灭不可当。
无官透，如荣晶，青霄在路把名扬。定持权柄三公位，衣紫腰金拜圣王。
问，《三车》即云：喜伤官食神，而古歌又日：“怕伤官在月支”何也？（格解）收官食二说，而言鞭忌不同之故。盖有财则有伤官食神，《景临》云：“无财而不之教训。盖有财印而不喜伤官”正此谓也。
《格解》云：癸酉癸亥癸时，亦拱戌中戊土之贵。注不言及何也？
补曰：斯言失之矣。盖癸酉日，系甲子旬中，甲子旬以戌亥为空亡。既为拱亡，则拱不信贵人，所以不取此日时为拱贵也。盖子平所谓拱贵，最忌天中杀，天中即空亡，有走贵人之说，则此日时，不可拱贵也，又何疑？
The Xiji Pian states: When the earthly branches form the Arching Lu or Arching Gui pattern, if they become "filled" (i.e., the original earthly branch appears), it turns into an inauspicious sign🌪.
Additional note: "Lu" refers to the Lu at the临官 position (e.g., Jia seeing Yin as Lu), and "Gui" refers to the正官 star (e.g., Jia seeing Xin as官), not the Tianyi Guiren (Heavenly Virtue Nobleman)❌. The Gejie mistakenly interprets Arching Lu as Arching Wealth and Arching Gui as Arching Tianyi Guiren, which is inaccurate. The Arching Lu pattern has five combinations, and none of these Lu positions involve wealth stars—how can it be called Arching Wealth? Although the Arching Gui pattern includes five days and four hours, and some involve the Tianyi Guiren, its core is arching the官 star (e.g., a Jia day master arches Xin as官), not simply arching the Tianyi Guiren.
If these two patterns are pure and unbroken, they indicate great nobility📈. They favor strong self-element, 印绶 (seal ribbon), 伤官 (hurt officer), and 食神 (eating god). They dislike 刑冲 (clashes and conflicts) in the day and hour of the arch (e.g., arching Zi water but encountering Wu to clash), and they also fear the appearance of 伤克日干的七杀 (the seven killings that harm the day master) in the four pillars, as these will破坏 the energy of Arching Lu and Arching Gui. Most importantly, they忌讳 the direct appearance of Lu or Gui in the four pillars (e.g., arching Zi water but already having Zi water in the八字), which is called "filling," akin to a container already full and unable to hold more energy⚱️. They also忌讳 Lu or Gui falling into 空亡 (empty death).
Zhegutian summarizes:
Jiayin and Jiazi arch Chou Gui, Wuchen and Wuwu hide Lu within.
Encountering clashes, filling, or empty death, official positions collapse and disaster is hard to avoid⚡.
If the pattern is unbroken and the官 star is revealed, one rises swiftly and gains fame.

Q: Sanche says it favors伤官 and食神, but an ancient song says "fear伤官 in the month branch." Why the contradiction?
A: The two perspectives differ. Gejie points out: If the命局 has wealth stars, it favors伤官 and食神 to generate wealth. If there is no wealth and印 is strong, then伤官 will克制 the官 star (source of nobility), making伤官 in the month branch a忌⚠️.
Q: Gejie mentions that "Guiyou Day + Guihai Hour" can arch Xu中的戊土 as官 Gui. Why is this not adopted in the original annotation?
A: This is incorrect! Guiyou Day falls in the甲子旬, where Xu and Hai are precisely空亡. Arching空亡 makes the nobleman powerless and instead forms the "天中杀 (sky-middle kill)" (空亡煞), so it cannot be used❌.
Virtual Arching as Utility: The essence of the pattern lies in its "virtual" nature (implied but not directly appearing), like an unopened container capable of holding energy. Once filled, its function is lost. It emphasizes the cleverness of structure and implied potential.
The dialectical relationship between "virtual" and "real": Chinese philosophy values "being and non-being generating each other." The arching patterns reflect the wisdom of using emptiness to carry fullness. In personal development, leaving blank spaces and remaining hidden often provide more strategic resilience than fully revealing oneself.
