Jin Suo Yu Guan Field Audit (金鎖玉關 / 過路陰陽)
This module turns the existing Golden Lock Jade Gate overview into a practical field sequence. The method is form-first: before judging a house by natal Flying Stars or Ba Zhai sectors, the practitioner walks the outer environment and records where solid form, empty space, road movement, water, towers, slopes, and breaks actually appear. The core learning objective is to read Sha and Shui as visible environmental evidence, not as abstract labels.

The common teaching rule assigns one group of Later-Heaven numbers to prefer Sha or solidity and the opposite group to prefer Shui or movement. In practice this means the student must identify whether the site has usable mass, containment, and stillness in the sectors that need form, while allowing open approach, road flow, or water-like movement where activation is appropriate. A good audit separates three layers: the raw form, the matching rule, and the observed life-domain correspondence. Do not reverse that order by forcing an event story onto the landform.
How to Walk the Site
- Set the building center and mark eight trigrams before interpretation.
- Record external Sha and Shui from near to far, then repeat inside the lot boundary.
- Note whether each feature is clean, broken, sharp, oppressive, moving, stagnant, high, or low.
- Only after observation, classify each sector as matching, reversed, mixed, or too weak to judge.
Guo Lu Yin Yang is valuable because it trains rapid perception, but the same speed can create overconfidence. The professional habit is to preserve uncertainty: a small decorative pond, an elevated highway, and a slow courtyard opening are all Shui-like but do not carry the same force.
