《四言独步云》天元一气，地物相同。人命得此，位列三公。
旧注解云：且如周益公命，庚辰、庚辰、庚辰、庚辰、乃合此。又有四个壬寅，四个癸亥，惟有四个辛卯，则贫夭之命，其余皆贵。又有四个甲戌，亦主破家，主人伶俐聪明，若行火乡稍可，终不成大器。
天干顺食格，、地支拱来格两干不杂格一气生成格
古歌云：富贵天干顺食奇，地支拱来少人知。两干不杂顺还贵，一气生成世上稀。
旧《纂要》注解曰：如脱脱丞相命，壬辰、甲辰、丙戌、戊戌，丙食戊，而辰中戌中戊土，皆为食神。况壬食甲，甲食丙，丙食戊，此为天干顺食格也。如帖木远太师命，甲寅、戊辰、丙午、丙申，寅辰夹卯字，辰午夹巳字，壬申夹未字，止为地支夹拱格也。如叶丞相命，庚寅、戊寅、庚寅、戊寅，此谓两干不杂也，如火午赤国，癸亥、癸亥、癸丑、癸丑，此谓一气生成格也。
补曰：《纂要》曰时，原系俱癸丑，而《格解》改为俱癸亥，非也。盖年月同癸亥，曰时同癸丑，干支皆北方水乡，秀气不杂，故曰一气生成，若支干同癸亥，则是天元一气矣。二格大同小异，不然，上文既言天元一气，而此岂有复言者哉？
又补曰：考诸《五星指南》两间不杂格，即连珠格，故又谓两间连珠格。观甲子年乙亥月甲子日乙丑时，乃五侍郎造，庚辰、辛巳、庚辰、辛巳可见矣。《独步》云：“八字连珠，三神有用，”此之谓也。或改二神有用，为支神有用，非也。
The Four-Line Solo Step mentions: The Tian Yuan Yi Qi Pattern refers to a configuration where all Heavenly Stems are identical and all Earthly Branches are also exactly the same. If such a pattern appears in a person's birth chart, it often indicates high status and authority, potentially even reaching the rank of San Gong (the highest official position in ancient times) 🌟.
An older annotation adds: For example, the birth chart of Zhou Yigong, with the stem-branch combination Geng Chen, Geng Chen, Geng Chen, Geng Chen, fits this pattern. Other examples, such as four Ren Yin or four Gui Hai, generally indicate wealth and nobility; however, four Xin Mao may lead to poverty and a short lifespan 😔. Additionally, the pattern of four Jia Xu, while indicating intelligence and cleverness, may also lead to the loss of family fortune. If the luck cycle enters a Fire phase (a period dominated by the Fire element), the situation may improve slightly, but ultimately, it remains difficult to achieve great success 🔥.
Furthermore, there are several related patterns:
An ancient verse says: Wealth and nobility originate from the marvel of Heavenly Stem sequential nourishment; the pattern of Earthly Branch arching is rarely understood. When two stems are unmixed and in proper order, nobility is indicated; the Pure Qi Generation pattern is extremely rare in the world 💎.
Examples from the old Compendium Essentials annotation:
A supplementary note points out: The original Compendium Essentials wrote "all Gui Chou," but the Pattern Explanations mistakenly changed it to "all Gui Hai," which is incorrect. Because the year and month are Gui Hai, while the day and hour are Gui Chou, and both stems and branches belong to the Northern Water region, the energy is pure and unmixed, hence it is called the Pure Qi Generation Pattern. If all were Gui Hai, it would be the Tian Yuan Yi Qi Pattern. These two patterns are largely similar but with minor differences; however, since the Tian Yuan Yi Qi Pattern has already been discussed above, it should not be repeated here.
Another supplementary note: Referring to the Five Star Guide, the Two Stems Unmixed Pattern is actually the Linked Pearl Pattern, also known as the Two Stems Linked Pearl Pattern. For example, Minister Wu's birth chart: Jia Zi year, Yi Hai month, Jia Zi day, Yi Chou hour; or Geng Chen, Xin Si, Geng Chen, Xin Si, both exemplify this pattern. The Solo Step states: "The eight characters are linked pearls, the three spirits are useful," precisely referring to this. Some mistakenly change it to "two spirits useful" or "branch spirits useful," which is incorrect.
The core idea of the Tian Yuan Yi Qi Pattern and its variants (such as the Sequential Nourishment Pattern, Arch Formation Pattern, etc.) is that the purity, sequential order, and harmony of the stems and branches in a birth chart are seen as symbols of nobility. The ancients believed that such "pure" or "ordered" configurations reflect the essence of Heaven and Earth's energy, capable of bringing extraordinary fortune and status.
In a modern context, these patterns can be understood as special configurations in personal fate analysis, similar to "innate talent" or "natural advantage." For example:
These patterns deeply reflect the ancient Chinese philosophical views of "harmony" and "order"—the universe seeks balance and purity. The Pure Qi Generation Pattern emphasizes "purity without mixture," metaphorically highlighting the modern value of staying true to one's初心 (initial intent) and focus. The Sequential Nourishment Pattern embodies the ecological thinking of "mutual generation and support," reminding us to prioritize collaboration and nurturing in relationships and work. Essentially, this is the ancients' personified interpretation of natural laws, inspiring us to contemplate how to achieve harmony with our environment and ourselves.
