From a big perspective, we must first master the basic knowledge of the five elements, such as: ten lines and twelve branches, the relationship between the five elements, and the combination of punishment and punishment. Learn to arrange eight characters and Universiade, allocate ten gods, and master the method of evaluating the rise and fall of the Japanese Lord with eight characters. The purpose of evaluating the strength of the Japanese Lord is to use God, and the role of God is to balance fate. By using God, we can judge the future career, wealth and poverty of life. So it is very important to determine the pattern of using God. Good or bad luck is mainly determined by preferences.
I suggest you read the four-poster elementary book. I've read a lot of eight-character books before, and I don't understand what it's like to use God. Lost for a long time, I saw an eight-character book "Eight-character Mystery" before entering the door. I wonder if there is this book on the market now. If there is, I'd better read this book, which is more popular and easy to understand. In addition, there are some simple and clear basic knowledge in the first part of the book Detailed Explanation of the Four Pillars written by Qu Wei. You can also look at the book "Four Columns in a hurry" written by Qu Wei's disciple Mr. Yang Liansheng. I believe after reading these two books, getting started is generally not a problem.
Of course, you need the ability of self-study to get started by yourself. Most people are unfamiliar with this knowledge, and there are not many people around them, so once some small problems get stuck there, they can't be solved for a long time, resulting in a long time. Therefore, self-study ability is poor, or there are no easy friends around to discuss and consult. It's best to take a training class like "Introduction to Four Columns" to get you started quickly.
