What is Tonggen?

Tonggen refers to the roots of the heavenly stems in the earthly branches that are revealed. This root is, firstly, the five elements in the earthly branches that are similar to the heavenly stems, such as Jiamu, which is in the earthly branches. Among them, there are Yinzhong Jiamu, Maozhongyimu, etc. The second refers to the five elements of the heavenly stem, such as Jiamu. Among the earthly branches, there are Zizhong Guishui, Chouzhong Guishui, etc. Strictly speaking, the five elements of the Heavenly Stem are not connected to the root, but after all, they are born on a certain day, so they increase the power of the Heavenly Stem and can also be classified as having roots in the Heavenly Stem.

Tonggen. It is very important for the exposed heavenly stems. If the exposed heavenly stems have no roots in the earthly branches, they will be empty and have no power. They will lose the power to generate and restrain other branches, or the power to generate and restrain other branches. In short, as a Yongshen, if the Yongshen is revealed and the earthly branches are not connected to the roots, it is called "the earth is not contained". It is difficult to exert the power of the Yongshen, but for the Jishen, although the heavenly stems are exposed and want to directly harm the sun master or the fate of the Yongshen, if it does not have roots in the earthly branch, then he will hurt the sun master and the fate of the Yongshen. The power of God is also insufficient and does little harm to the owner of the life. However, when the luck of the year takes root, it will play a role and cause the life of the owner to encounter setbacks.

Of course, not all the evil gods will be punished when the luck of the year is established. If the joyful god who restrains the evil gods in the destiny is strong enough to subdue the evil gods, it will be harmful to the native. It won't cause disaster, but the six relatives or body parts represented by these five elements may have problems. The exposed Heavenly Stems have roots in the Earthly Branches, and are called the Heavenly Stems and the Roots. However, the power of the Heavenly Stems must also be examined. The power of the Roots must be considered from two aspects.
