Before we formally talk about arranging four pillars and eight characters and judging good or bad omen, we should first understand the simple meaning of combining cadres with branches, meeting, punishing and wearing.
In the four-column eight-character structure, the collision of any group of branches may have auspicious and dangerous consequences, and sometimes both of them appear at the same time: but generally speaking, if the branches that the eight-character likes to use are washed away, merged, punished or worn away, or the branches that the eight-character hates are usually auspicious; On the other hand, if you encounter branches that are annoying to the eight characters, you will rush, close, punish and hurt the branches that the eight characters like to use, which is usually considered fierce.
