The method of notating the stems and branches of the year, month, day, and hour.
In the ancient book "The Golden Secret Formula", the method of starting the class is very simple and simple. There are only four formulas: " Human style
The method is wonderful and mysterious. The moon will be added when it is uploaded. It also depends on which god is in which position. The five elements of the sun must be used." These four verses of the song
If there is no guidance from a wise master, they are undoubtedly heavenly scriptures. The method of starting the lesson is explained here.
1. First determine the year, month, day, and time
That is to convert the specific time of the question period into the time of the stems and branches, such as April 22, 1998.
2 o'clock in the afternoon is the year of Wuyin, the month of Bingchen, the day of Jihai, and the hour of Xinwei. To determine the time, it is best to have a perpetual calendar at hand so that you can check the accurate year, month, day and time at any time. Here is a brief talk about the determination of year, month and day.
The arrangement of the Sixty Years: Regardless of the year, month, day and time, they are arranged in the order of the Sixty Years.
It cannot be changed from ancient times to the present, so you must understand the Sixty Years The order of arrangement, the combination of Sixty Years is based on the order of the ten Heavenly Stems and the Twelve Earthly Branches. In the Sixty Years combination, the Yang stems are matched with Yang branches, and the Yin stems are matched with Yin branches.
There will be no yin and yang matching.
We arrange the sixty Jiazi as follows:
Jiazi, Yichou, Bingyin, Dingmao, Wuchen, Jisi, Gengwu, Xinwei, Renshen, Gui You,
Jiaxu, Yihai, Bingzi, Dingchou, Wuyin, Jimao, Gengchen, Xinsi, Renwu, Guiwei,
Jiashen, Yiyou , Bingxu, Dinghai, Wuzi, Jichou, Gengyin, Xinmao, Renchen, Guisi,
Jiawu, Yiwei, Bingshen, Dingyou, Wuxu, Jihai, Gengzi, Xinchou, Renyin , Guimao,
Jiachen, Yisi, Bingwu, Dingwei, Wushen, Jiyou, Gengxu, Xinhai, Renzi, Guichou,
Jiayin, Yi Mao, Bingchen, Dingsi, Wuwu, Jiwei, Gengshen, Xinyou, Renxu, and Guihai.
The year is determined by the year of the stems and branches. The year 1998 is the year of Wuyin, the year 99 is the year of Jimao, and the year 2000 is the year of Gengchen. If we work backwards, 97 is the year of Chou. Year, 96 is the year of Bingzi, and 95 is the year of Yihai.
It can be inferred from the sixty-year-old ranking table.
The determination of the month, the twelve months in a year, corresponds to the twelve earthly branches, and the twelve earthly branches are unchanged.
We describe this relationship here Let’s review: Yin is the first month, Mao is the second month, Chen is the third month, Si is the fourth month, Wu is the fifth month, Wei is the sixth month, Shen is the seventh month, and You are the eighth month. Xu is the ninth month, Hai is the tenth month, Zi is the tenth month and Chou is the twelfth month.
The celestial stem of each month is uncertain, so it needs to be found or calculated. As long as you have
a perpetual calendar, the stems and branches of each year, month and day are listed. As long as you find the corresponding year, month and day of the solar calendar or lunar calendar,
you can find the correct year. The stems and branches of the month and day. For example, in October of the lunar calendar of 1998, when you open the perpetual calendar and find the item October of the 98th year, you can see the stems and branches of this month, which is the month of Guihai. Note that each month's month is based on the festival
In other words, Yin can be established after the beginning of spring, Mao can be established after February, and the rest can be deduced in the same way.
. March is after the Qingming Festival, April is after the Beginning of Summer, May is after busy planting, June is after the mild heat, July is after the Beginning of Autumn, August is after the White Dew, September is after the Cold Dew, October is after the Beginning of Winter, and October is after the Beginning of Winter. After the heavy snow in January, after the slight cold in December.
The day can usually be determined by looking at the perpetual calendar. For example, November 17th in the lunar calendar of 1998. Turning over the calendar, it is found that November 17th in the lunar calendar in 1998 is the ninth day of the lunar calendar. On the twenty-ninth day of the month, the day stem and branch are Wuchen.
After determining the daily stems and branches, it is easy to determine the time. You can push it out, but you have to push it out yourself.
There is usually no book to look for.
We divide the twenty-four hours in a day into twelve hours, so that the corresponding relationship between the twelve earthly branches and the twelve hours is fixed, that is, from 23 o'clock to 1 o'clock on the previous day is the sub-hour, The following eleven hours
are as follows
1:00-3:00 is Chou hour,
3:00-5:00 is Yin hour,
p>
5:00-7:00 is Mao hour,
7:00-9:00 is Chen hour,
9:00-11:00 is Si hour,
11:00-13:00 is noon time,
13:00-15:00 is noon time,
15:00-17:00 is shen time ,
17:00-19:00 is the unitary hour,
19:00-21:00 is the Xu hour,
21:00-23:00 is the At the time of Hai,
the hour must be matched with the stem to be a complete hour. The method used is still the five-subordinate escape method, that is,
Jia and Ji are still A, Yi, Geng and B are the first. , Bingxin started Wuzi, Dingrengengzichen, Wugui Renzitou, Shiyuan followed Zitui.
For example, if it is 8 o'clock on Wuchen day, what time is it? First check whether 8 o'clock is between 7:00-9:00
The time is Chen hour, and then according to the five elements Escape method, Wu Gui Ren Zi Tou, that is, the time of Zi is Wu, the time of Chou is Gui, the time of Yin Cai is A, the time of Mao is B, and the time of Chen is C, it can be concluded that the 8 o'clock of Wuchen day is Bingchen time. The detailed content is consistent with the Qi Ren Yuan method and can be referred to. In this way, the year, month, day and time are determined, and the class can be started.
2. Location points
The methods of location points are flexible and diverse, mainly based on the information points during instant positioning, so grabbing the information points is a relationship.
Here we introduce the most basic and commonly used method of determining location, that is, the relative position of the test taker to the forecaster. The directions used here are based on the lattice diagram of the twelve earthly branches. No matter which direction the forecaster faces, the south is always noon, the north is Zi, the east is Mao, and the west is Unity, which will never change. The picture is provided to illustrate: the center of the circle is the forecaster, and the prediction is made
p>
If the person is at point A, it is Chen, and if it is at point B, it is Wei. The position of the person who is looking for the prediction cannot be clearly determined.
A certain position can be determined based on the inspiration of the forecaster at that time. , for example, if the position of Chensi cannot be determined
then if you think it is Chen, then it is Chen, and if you think it is Si, then it is Si. For example, after the visitor is seated and is in the south of the forecaster, the ground is divided into noon. If it is farther east, it will be used as Si, and if it is farther to the west, it will be called Wei. The determination of the equinox has nothing to do with the direction the forecaster is facing at that time. No matter where the forecaster is facing, the south is always noon and the north is always zi.
This should be remembered. . The above diagram is set with the forecaster as the center of the circle, that is, the forecaster's position is at the center of the circle
.
3. Calculating the general of the month
The general of the month is the Liuhe of the month. In the first month, Yin is built, and Hai is the general of the month. On the contrary, in the tenth month, Hai is built, and Yin is the general of the month.
Here is the comparison between the names of December and the months.
The first month of the year is Yinhai Dengming
The second month of the month is Maoxu Hekui
In March, Chenyou came from Kui
In April, Sishen was sent
In May, there was no auspiciousness at noon
In June, there was no auspiciousness
In July, Shensi Taiyi
In August, Youchen Tiangang
In September, Xumao Taichong
In October, Haiyin Gongcao
November Chouzi is auspicious
December Chouzi God Queen
The monthly generals in the table are fixed monthly generals, while the movable monthly generals used in the lesson are therefore , it is necessary to recalculate it
when entering the class. According to the ancient calculation formula "the month will be added and the time will be uploaded", that is, the fixed monthly period of the class will be added
at the end. On the lesson time, count clockwise to the ground minute, that is, the month will be used in the lesson.
For example, in the year of Dingchou, the month of Guimao, the day of Dingmao, and the time of Yisi, the earth is divided into unitary units. Steps:
1. Write down the unitary units of the earth.
2. Mao month, the month will be the leader of the river, Xu will be the general.
3. If the already-positioned position of the palm is determined to be Xu, then, counting down, the number in the meridian position is Hai, the position in the Wei position is Zi, the position in the Shen position is Chou, and the position in the Unity position is Chou. If it is Yin, then the month of this lesson will be Yin.
Here we have arranged the lunar generals and the lunar generals of the twelve types of land within this specific period for reference.
The month is about to be noon and youxuhaizi Chouyinmaochen
The earth element Chouyinmaochen has not been shenyouxuhai at noon
If it is not the time of Sishi but the time of shen, then Add Mao Yue Jiang Xu to the application position, and count until the earth is divided into You, and the month Mao Yue Jiang will become Hai. We then calculate the moon generals of the twelve earth divisions at Shen Shi as follows:
The moon general Yinmaochen Siwu is not Shenyou Xuhai Zichou
The earth element Chou Yinmaochen Siwu is not Shenyou Xuhai
If it is not the month of Mao but the month of Hai, then add the month of Hai to the time and count forward
To get the month, for example now It is noon, then, using Zi as the ground point, we can find out that the moon will be Shen, that is, put Yin on the noon of the palm of your hand, and count down clockwise. The lower part is Mao, and the upper part is Chen. , The upper part of You is Si, the upper part of Xu is Wu, the upper part of Hai is Wei, and the upper part of Zi is Shen. We then calculate the twelve months of the twelve earth divisions as follows:
The month will be Shenyouxuhaizi Chouyinmaochen Siwuwei
The earth element Chouyinmaochen Siwu will not be Shenyouxuhai
4. Dinggui Gods
The twelve noble gods must be memorized, remembered clearly, and remembered to death, and the order cannot be reversed:
Tian Yigui God Ji Chou Yin Earth Sky Wuxu Yang Earth
Teng Snake Ding Si Yin Fire Hundred Tigers Geng Shen Yang Quan
Suzaku Bing Wu Yang Fire Tai Chang Ji Wei Yin Earth
Liuhe Yimao Yin Wood Xuanwu Prince Yang Water
Gou Chen Wuchen Yang Earth Sun Xinyou Yin Metal
Qinglong Jiayin Yang Wood Tianhou Guihai Yin Water
The order of the twelve noble gods is: Gui, Teng, Zhu, Liu, Gou, Qing, Kong, Bai, Chang, Xuan, Yin,
Hou.
The method of raising the twelve noble gods is determined by the daily stem. The formula for raising the noble gods must be memorized:
A, Wu, Geng, cattle and sheep, Yiji, rats and monkeys
Bingding, pigs and roosters are in the position, Rengui, snakes and rabbits are hidden
The six evils are sloppy, this is the way for noble people
The formula here is: on the first day, the fifth day, and the fifth day, Classes start on the day of Geng. During the day, the noble gods rise from Chou, and turn clockwise.
The flying snake rises on the Yin, the red bird rises on the Mao, and the Liuhe rises on the Chen. Count until the ground is divided, if the ground Divided into Wei, it should
be the sky and Xuyang earth. If the class starts at night, the noble god must never be raised, and must be rotated counterclockwise, soaring at noon
Snake, The Suzaku has risen on the sky, the Liuhe has risen on the Chen, the Gou Chen has risen on the Mao, and the counting continues until the earth is divided. In these few sentences
you should pay attention to the following points. On the days of A, E, Geng, B, Ji, C and D, the gods who rise during the day are in ascending order.
At night, noble gods count backwards. On the three days of Wang, Gui and Xin, the noble god rises, counting backwards during the day and upwards at night. That is to say, in the formula
the first three sentences are daytime, and the starting point of the Qiguishen appearing in the formula is that the first word is daytime, and the last word is night. , for example, Jiawugeng cattle and sheep, that is, counting from the cow during the day, and counting backward from the sheep at night.
The six fortunes are careless, counting backward from the horse during the day, and counting from the tiger at night .
Here I list the situations in which the gods will be honored on each day as follows:
During the day on Days A, V and Geng, the twelve earthly branches will be honored as follows:
Hout Guiteng, Zhu Liugou, Qingbai, Chang Xuanyin
Zichou Yinmaochen Siwu Wushen Youxuhai
On the night of Jia, Wu and Geng, the twelve earthly branches respectively rise as follows: :
White sky, green hook, six Zhu, Tenggui, Yinxuanchang
Zichou Yinmaochen has not applied for Youxuhai at noon
B. It is daytime, and the twelve earthly branches are divided. The noble gods are as follows:
Gui Teng Zhu Liu Gou Qing Bai Chang Xuan Yin Hou
Zichou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Shen Youxu Hai
Yi, at night, The noble gods of the twelve earthly branches are as follows:
Often white, empty, green, hooked, six, red, Tenggui, Houyinxuan
Zichou Yinmaochen Siwu did not apply for Youxuhai
B. During the day on Ding day, the noble gods of the twelve earthly branches are as follows:
Tengzhu, six hooks, green and blank, Changxuanyin, Hougui
Zichou, Yinmao, Chen, Siwu, Wushen Youxuhai
On the nights of B and D, the twelve earthly branches have their noble gods as follows:
Xuan Chang is white and blue, and the green hook is the six Zhu Tenggui Houyin
Zichou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Shen Youxu Hai
In the daytime on Ren and Gui days, the twelve earthly branches have their noble gods as follows
Green Gou Six Zhu Tenggui After Yin Xuan is often empty
Zichou Yin Mao Chen has not been declared at noon Youxuhai
On the night of Ren and Gui, the twelve earthly branches respectively give rise to noble gods as follows:
Xuanyin Hougui Teng Zhu Liuqiu Qingkong Chang
Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si Shen You Xu Hai at the end of the afternoon
In the daytime of the Xin day, the twelve earthly branches respectively give rise to noble gods as follows:
The sky is green and the six Zhu are red, and the back is Yinxuan and often white
Zichou Yin Mao Chen Siwu Wu Shen Youxu Hai
On the night of Xinri, the twelve earthly branches rise and noble gods are as follows:
The Queen of Yin is noble, Teng, Zhu Liugou, Qing Bai, Chang Xuan
p>Zichou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Shen Youxu Hai
This table only solves the situation encountered by beginners. You can search it from the table, for example, Wuyin year, Xinyou month,
On Bingxu day, at the end of the day, we set up a lesson based on the position of Zi. We describe the starting steps of the lesson as follows:
With Zi as the ground division, first write the ground division "Zi".
2. The unitary month and the month will be the chen, add the chen to the not above, that is, count the chen from the not above, and count the time to the unitary and earth points.
The god will be Cong Kuiyou.
3. The starting time of the class is Bingxu day, with the formula "Bingding pig and chicken position" of Qi Guishen, starting the daytime
The class starts from Hai position, counting up to Teng Shen , or look up the table to directly get Teng She.
(The lesson format is as shown on the left)
Another example: In the Wuyin year, Renxu month, Xinmao day, at noon, the lesson starts with the Yin position.
1. Taking Yin as the geographical division, first write the geographical division "Yin".
2. The month of Xu will be Mao, add Mao to noon, and hook
That is, count Mao from noon, and count clockwise to Dihai
Based on the points, it can be concluded that the general god is Deng Minghai. Yin
3. Because it is Xinmao day, according to the mantra of Qi Guishen, "Six Xins are careless", classes start in the day and count backwards from noon.
Counting to Yin is Gouchen.
(The lesson pattern is as shown on the left)
There is another problem that needs to be solved here, that is, regarding the division of day and night, there is only one sentence in the whole formula
As the saying goes, when the stars are out, it is night, and when the stars are out, it is day.
The most common letter from students is about the division of day and night. I
will elaborate on this point here: First of all, it is understood that the dividing line between day and night is bounded by Maoyou, which means that the day is divided by
>It begins at Mao hour, and the night begins at You hour. Then Mao hour includes two hours, which is too long, so we need to divide it into seasons. For example, in summer, we can observe the length of the day. Dawn is usually around 5 o'clock.
This is a reminder that we should use Mao hour in summer, that is, 5 o'clock is used as the boundary, and it gets dark mostly after 7 o'clock, around 8 o'clock. At this time, we can use 8 o'clock as the boundary. In winter, the days become shorter. When dawn is around 7 o'clock, we can use the end of the hour as the boundary, and when it gets dark around 6 o'clock, we can use 6 o'clock as the dividing line. If it is cloudy and dawn
It is even harder to predict whether it will be dark
dark. To solve this problem, I observed the twelve months and twenty-four seasons of the year
The morning and evening of Qi are roughly divided, which can be used as a reference for judging day and night.
Winter Solstice: The star disappears at 6:50 and the star comes out at 17:20
Xiaohan: The star disappears at 6:40 and the star comes out at 17:30
Dahan: Ken 6:30 pm, 17:40 pm
The beginning of spring: 6:20 pm, 18:00 pm
Rain: 6:10 pm, 18:10 pm
Jingzhe: The star disappears at 6:00 and the star rises at 18:20
Vernal Equinox: The star disappears at 5:50 and the star rises at 18:30
Qingming: Star It’s 5:40, the star is out at 18:40
Gu Yu: The star is out at 5:30, the star is out at 18:50
Beginning of Xia: The star is out at 5:20, the star is out at 19:10
Xiaoman: The star goes out at 5:10, the star comes out at 19:20
Manzhong: The star goes out at 5:00, the star comes out at 19:30
Summer Solstice: Star 4:50 pm, 19:40 pm
Small Heat: 5:00 pm, 19:35 pm
Great Heat: 5:15 pm, 19:20 pm
The beginning of autumn: the star disappears at 5:20 and the star rises at 19:10
The end of summer: the star disappears at 5:30 and the star rises at 18:50
White dew: star 5:40, star out at 18:40
Autumn Equinox: star out at 5:50, star out at 18:30
Cold dew: star out at 6:00, star out at 18:20
Frostfall: The star is out at 6:10, the star is out at 18:10
The beginning of winter: The star is out at 6:20, the star is out at 18:00
Xiao Xue: Star 6:30 pm, 17:40 pm
Heavy snow: 6:40 pm, 17:30 pm
This table is based on the Central Plains area, so according to the local The situation still needs to be adjusted slightly.
5. Determining the Renyuan
The Renyuan is obtained by moving the day stem to the earth. The formula must be remembered:
A Ji is still A, Yi, Geng and B are at the beginning,
Bing and Xin are from Wuzi, Ding and Ren are from Gengzi,
Wugui is from Renzi, and Shi Yuan is from Zi.
Through this formula, we can infer the human element. How to use this formula? In other words,
The content given in each sentence is a method, "Jia Ji is still A". Whenever A's class starts on the same day, the place is divided into
Zi , the human yuan is A, from this the human yuan of other places is deduced, if the place is Chou, the person is B, the place is Yin, the person is C, the place is Mao, The human yuan is Ding, and by analogy, the human yuan of the twelve places is calculated. "Yi Geng
C is the beginning." When classes start on the day of Yi and Geng, the ground points are Zi, the human element is C, the ground points are Chou, the person yuan is Ding, and the ground points
Yin, the human element is Wu, the earth is divided into Mao, and the human element is Ji. Based on this, the human element of the twelve earthly points is derived. "Bing Xin starts Wu Zi,"
Every time Bing Xin starts class, the earth is Zi, the person is Wu, the earth is Chou, the person is Ji, the earth is Yin, the person is Geng, and the earth is
Di Mao, human yuan Xin, based on this, the human yuan of the twelve places is derived.
"Ding Ren Geng Zi Ju", every Ding day Ren day class starts,
Difen is Zi, Ren Yuan is Geng, Di Di is Chou, Ren Yuan is Xin, Di is Yin, Ren is Ren, Di is Mao, Ren Yuan Gui, according to this, the human yuan of the twelve places is derived. "Wu Gui rises to Ren Zi", when classes start on Wu day and Gui day, the place is divided into Zi, the person is Yuan
It is Ren, the place is divided into Chou, the person is Yuan Gui, the place is divided into Yin, the person is Yuan Jia, and the earth is divided into Fen Mao, Ren Yuan Yi, based on this, the human yuan of the twelve places can be derived.
For example, in the first of the two examples above, the day is Bingxu, which is the day C. According to "Bingxin starts Wuzi",
The land is divided into Zi, and the human element is Wu. , that is to say, the human element is Wu. In the second example, the day is Xin Mao, which is Xin day. According to "Bing Xin starts Wu Zi", the earth is divided into Zi, the human element is Wu, and the earth Divided into Chou, the human element is Ji, the earth is divided into Yin, and the human element
is Geng, it can be concluded that the human element is Geng. If the geographical division is Shen, we also infer that the human yuan should be C.
6. Determining Jiang Shen and Shen Qian
The determination method of Jiang Shen and Guishen Qian is the same as the determination method of Ren Yuan, which is also obtained by using the Wuzi Yuan escape method, as above
p>In the first case, the general god is You, which is equivalent to the human element of the earth. It can be concluded that the general is here, the noble god
Given the snake, Teng If the snake is Si, then the divine stem is Gui. In the second example, the general god is Hai, the general god is Ji, the noble god is Gou Chen, and Gou Chen is Chen. You can get the divine stem as Ren.
At this point; we have learned a complete lesson; here I will give an example of a complete lesson
to illustrate the complete lesson of the golden formula Law.
In the year of Wuyin, in the month of Wang Xu, on the day of Geng Yin, and at the hour of Wang Wu, people came to sit in the southwest to apply for the throne, and the application was used as the land division.
The steps to start the class are as follows:
! , first write the division of the land,
2. Then determine the general of the month. In the middle of the month of Xu, the month will be Mao.
3. Find the general god by adding time to the moon and dividing it by the earth. That is, add Mao to the noon position and count to the application position to get the general god
Da Yi Si.
4. According to the day and day, Geng and Yin are used as the basis for raising the noble god. The formula for raising the noble god is "Jiawugeng Ox and Sheep". The noble god starts from the ugly position.
Turn around and count to Apply for the throne and apply for gold for White Tiger.
5. The human yuan is determined by the daily stem, and the son of the daily stem is Geng. According to the formula "Yi, Geng, and C are the first sons, the first son is C, and the number of Shen is A.
The human yuan For A.
6. To determine generals, it is also based on the method of Rigan Geng and Wu Zi Yuan Escape, plus a sentence formula. The Zi position is C, and the number is
to Si position. The general stem is Xin.
7. The principle of Ding Shen stem is the same as above. The child position is C. If you count it to the noble god Shen, you will get A. A is the divine stem.
We. The lesson example is as follows:
Wuyin year, Wangxu month, Gengyin day
Jia
Jiashen (white tiger)
Xin Ji (Taiyi)
Shen
In this way we have a complete lesson
