六壬法教

Compiled by Xu Da Sheng , this is the "Genesis Block" of modern BaZi. It marks the historical transition from the ancient Year-based astrology to the modern Day-based Zi Ping method.

• The Day Master: Xu Ziping introduced the revolutionary concept that the Day Stem (日干) represents the "Self," shifting the focus from earlier year-based methods to the birth day as the core of individual analysis.
• Six Relatives: Established the logic mapping family members (Mother, Father, Spouse) to the Five Elements.
• The 18 Structures: The original catalog of standard chart patterns.

Considered the "Holy Grail" of BaZi, Di Tian Sui (The Essence of Heavenly Marrow) focuses on the deep logical and energetic principles of the system. Originally attributed to Jing Tu and later annotated by Liu Bowen and expanded by Ren Tiejiao , it eschews simple mnemonic rules in favor of profound logic.

• Qi and Li (理氣): Focuses on the flow and quality of energy rather than just static positions.
• Zhong He (中和): The principle of "Central Harmony." The goal of an audit is to find the point of balance where the elements are neither too strong nor too weak.
• Tong Guan (通關): The art of "Bridging." Resolving conflicts between clashing elements through a mediating third element.

Written by Shen Xiao Zhan in the Qing Dynasty, this is the definitive technical manual for Ge Ju (Structure) and Yong Shen (Useful God) . It provides the standardized framework used by modern practitioners.

• The Month Command (月令): Establishes the birth month as the root of the destiny's structure.
• Xiang Shen (相神): The "Minister God." An innovative concept stating that the support for the Useful God is often more critical than the Useful God itself.
• Success and Failure (成敗): Detailed logic on how a destiny's potential is formed (Cheng) or broken (Bai) by the presence of specific interacting elements.

Originally known as Lan Jiang Wang , this classic is the master guide to Tiao Hou (Seasonal Adjustment) . It treats the Ten Stems as living organisms within a seasonal ecosystem.

• Environmental Nature: Analyzes the precise requirements of each element in every month (e.g., Jia Wood in early spring needs Sun for warmth).
• The 10 Stems in 12 Months: A month-by-month technical breakdown of elemental preferences.
• Climate Balance: Prioritizes temperature and humidity (Cold, Warm, Dry, Wet) as the primary drivers of human fortune.

Compiled by Wan Min Ying , this massive twelve-volume work is the most comprehensive collection of BaZi knowledge in history. It was selected for the Imperial Siku Quanshu library.

• Preserving the Old Method: Contains the most detailed record of pre-Qing "Old Style" BaZi, including the Na Yin (Melodic Elements) system.
• Shen Sha (神煞): A vast directory of "Gods and Killers" (symbolic stars) used for rapid psychological and event-based readings.
• Technical Bridge: Connects the ancient Tang dynasty shamanic traditions with the modern Zi Ping logical framework.

Written by the iconoclast Zhang Nan (Shen Feng) , this book is famous for its fierce critique of false doctrines and the introduction of the "Illness and Medicine" (Bing Yao) theory.

• Illness and Medicine (病藥): The theory that a "perfect" chart is often mediocre. Great success comes from having a "Great Illness" (Imbalance) met by a "Great Medicine" (Cure).
• Critique of False Arts: Systematically dismantles the contradictory "Star Gods" and rigid formulas of the past.
• Dynamic Luck: Emphasizes that "Fate is in the Chart, but Harvest is in the Luck Cycles."

While traditional schools focus on "Fate Structure" (Pattern), Wuxing Pai focuses on "Fortune Timing." It is famous for its strict algorithmic rules that allow for high-precision Monthly Predictions (流月) .

• Temporal Precision: Pinpoints specific crisis months rather than just "bad years."
• Dynamic Flow: Focuses on the sequence of Combination → Generation → Conquest.
• Actionable: Diagnoses "Day Master Under Attack" as a temporary, solvable state.

Mangpai views the chart as a machine for achievement. It strictly divides the chart into "Host" (Self) and "Guest" (World), focusing on how the Host captures the Guest's wealth.

• Zuo Gong (Doing Work): Does your chart control, combine with, or transform the enemy?
• Guest vs. Host: A strategic division of territory. Wealth in the Guest position must be "Captured."
• Image Reading: Seeing pillars as physical objects (e.g., "Geng-Shen" as a vehicle).

1. The Day Master (日主)

The Heavenly Stem of the birth day represents the core "Self." Its strength relative to the season is the starting point of every audit.

2. The Ten Gods (十神)

Sociological relationships (wealth, fame, parents, children) translated into elemental interactions.
