六壬法教

Module 1: Theoretical Foundations (理论基础)

The architecture of XKDG is built upon the Early Heaven sequence and the mathematical transformations of the 64 Hexagrams as organized by the Song Dynasty master Shao Yong .

• The Shao Yong Arrangement: Understanding the Fuxi Square and Circle arrangements as the cosmic blueprint. The Circle represents the dynamic flow of Time (Heaven), while the Square represents the stable structure of Space (Earth).
• Gua Qi (卦气 - Element Numbers): Every hexagram is assigned a Wu Xing element number (1 to 9, excluding 5) based on the Early Heaven Trigram values:
  • 1 & 6: Water | 2 & 7: Fire | 3 & 8: Wood | 4 & 9: Metal.
  • These are derived from the He Tu Transformations .
• Gua Yun (卦运 - Period Numbers): The 1-9 period values derived from the Xuan Kong Ai Xing (Flying Star) logic applied to the 64 hexagrams.
• One Gua Pureness (一卦純清): The ideal state where the Dragon, Mountain, Direction, and Water all belong to the same period or element family.

Module 2: The Logic of Connection (连通法則)

The power of XKDG lies in the "Connection" (Tong) between variables. We seek four primary types of auspicious resonance for ritual and spatial success:

• Same Kua (同氣): When the Gua Qi or Gua Yun of the time, property, and person are identical. This provides stable, pure energy.
• Sum of Ten (合十): A perfect balance. When numbers add up to 10 (e.g., 1-9, 2-8, 3-7, 4-6). This is the highest form of alignment for long-term prosperity.
• He Tu Combinations (合化): Utilizing generative pairs from the He Tu (1-6, 2-7, 3-8, 4-9) to stimulate growth and wealth.
• Sum of Five/Fifteen: Secondary auspicious combinations for specific directional activations.

Module 3: XKDG Date Selection (择日学)

Date selection in XKDG is considered the "Imperial Method." It converts the Four Pillars into hexagrams to check internal resonance.

• Establishing the "King" (日主): The Day Pillar hexagram serves as the central authority. All other pillars (Year, Month, Hour) must support or resonant with it.
• Heaven-Earth-Man Resonance: Ensuring the date hexagrams harmonize with the "Sitting" hexagram of the property and the Personal Ming Gua of the inhabitant.
• The Two-Hour Window: Pinpointing the exact Shi Chen when the cosmic alignment reaches its peak for ritual activation.
• Zhen Shan Long Gui Yuan (真山龍歸元): The high-level technique of returning the mountain energy to its primordial source.

Module 4: Altar Fine-tuning & Xie Zi Fa (些子法)

The "Xie Zi Fa" (些子法) is the secret method for transforming energy at the smallest scales. It uses the 384 Yao for surgical altar placement.

• Inner and Outer Xie Zi (內外些子):
  • Outer: Aligning the property with external landforms and water.
  • Inner: Fine-tuning the Altar (壇位) or Bed to the exact 0.9375-degree window.
• Chou Yao Huan Xiang (抽爻換象): The technique of "Drawing the Yao and Changing the Image." If a directional sector is unfavorable, the practitioner selects a specific Yao line to "transform" the hexagram into an auspicious one.
• Avoiding Empty Lines (Kong Wang): Identifying the "Death and Void" lines (0.00 degrees between hexagrams) which cause energy leakage.
• Ritual Altar Orientation: Placing the Liuren Geographical Immortal Master 's tablet on a "Prosperity Line" (Wang Yao) to maximize spiritual receptivity.

🛠️ Practical Ritual Applications (實戰應用)

XKDG is not mere theory; it is the operative technology used for high-level Liuren ritual work. Below are the standard practical procedures:

📚 Technical Reference: The Practitioner's Manual

For advanced disciples, the following formulas are the keys to precise metaphysical operation.

A. Calculating Gua Qi (Element Number) / 卦氣計算法

B. Calculating Gua Yun (Period Number) / 卦運計算法

The Gua Yun determines the kinship and timeliness. Use the "Yao Transformation" rule from the Parent Hexagram (八純卦):

C. Step-by-Step Altar Alignment / 安壇步驟

1. Measure: Use the Luo Pan to identify the exact degree of the wall or cabinet where the Altar will sit.
2. Identify: Locate the 64 Hexagram Ring on the Luo Pan to see which hexagram corresponds to that degree.
3. Check Resonance: Ensure the Hexagram's Gua Qi is "Sheng/Wang" for the current period (Period 9). For example, Metal (4/9) and Fire (2/7) are strong in Period 9.
4. Fine-tune (些子法): If the hexagram is not ideal, move the Altar Tablet slightly within the 0.9375-degree window to a specific Yao line .
   • Rule: The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd lines are for "Internal" matters (Health, Harmony).
   • Rule: The 4th, 5th, and 6th lines are for "External" matters (Career, Wealth).

Origin and Relationship to the Yijing (易經)

Xuan Kong Da Gua is rooted directly in the 64 Hexagrams (六十四卦) of the Yijing (易經 — Book of Changes). While the Yijing was originally a divination and philosophical text, Song Dynasty masters — most notably Shao Yong (邵雍, 1011–1077 CE) — decoded its mathematical structure and applied it to spatial analysis.

How Da Gua Maps Hexagrams to the 24 Mountains

The 64 hexagrams are distributed across the 24 Mountains of the Luo Pan compass. Since 24 Mountains × 15 degrees = 360 degrees, and 64 hexagrams need to fit within this ring, the distribution is not uniform — it follows the Early Heaven Trigram logic.

The 384 Yao (爻) System

Each of the 64 hexagrams contains 6 Yao lines (爻), giving a total of 384 Yao (64 × 6 = 384). When distributed around the 360-degree compass, each Yao line occupies exactly 0.9375 degrees (360 ÷ 384). This is the finest unit of measurement in classical Feng Shui.

Parent-Offspring Hexagram Relationships (父母卦)

The Parent Hexagrams (父母卦 - Fùmǔ Guà) are the eight "pure" hexagrams where the upper and lower trigrams are identical (e.g., Qian over Qian = ☰☰, Kun over Kun = ☷☷). These eight Parent Hexagrams each "give birth" to seven Offspring Hexagrams through systematic line changes, producing the full set of 64.

Dragon-Facing-Water Matching Using Da Gua

The core operational technique of XKDG is the matching of three spatial variables using hexagram mathematics. These variables are called the Three Wonders (三般卦):

Matching Criteria (合局法)

Castle Gate Theory (城門訣)

The Castle Gate (城門 - Chéngmén) is a critical concept in XKDG referring to the most powerful point of Qi entry into a site. Named after the main gate of a walled city, the Castle Gate is the sector through which the most significant environmental feature — typically a road opening, river bend, or gap between buildings — channels energy into the property.

Period Luck and Hexagram Position Shifts

In XKDG, the auspiciousness of a hexagram changes with each Period (運 - Yùn). The San Yuan system divides time into nine 20-year Periods forming a complete 180-year Grand Cycle. Each Period "activates" different hexagrams and renders others dormant.
