Jin Suo Yu Guan (金鎖玉關)

Technical Deep Dive: The 'Golden Key' to Environmental Balance

🏛️ The Essence of 'Passing Road' Yin-Yang

Jin Suo Yu Guan (金鎖玉關) , historically known as Guo Lu Yin Yang (過路陰陽), is a prestigious San Yuan school focused on the binary interplay of Sha (砂 - Sand/High ground) and Shui (水 - Water/Low ground) . Its name implies that its secrets are as secure as a "Golden Lock" and as precious as a "Jade Gate."

Unlike schools that rely solely on time-cycles, Jin Suo Yu Guan prioritizes the Spatial Form . It teaches that certain Trigrams (directions) are inherently Yin and require Yang (High ground) to balance, while others are Yang and require Yin (Low ground/Water) to stabilize.

⚖️ The Fundamental Formula: 1-2-3-4 vs. 6-7-8-9

The system categorizes the eight directions into two groups based on their preference for elevation (Sha) or depression (Shui).

Group A: Prefers Elevation (要砂)

Directions 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent the "Early Heaven Yin" sectors. They require High Ground, Walls, or Mountains to prevent energy leakage.

  • 1: Kan (North)
  • 2: Kun (Southwest)
  • 3: Zhen (East)
  • 4: Xun (Southeast)

Group B: Prefers Depression (要水)

Directions 6, 7, 8, and 9 represent the "Early Heaven Yang" sectors. They require Water, Roads, or Open Space to facilitate the flow of Qi.

  • 6: Qian (Northwest)
  • 7: Dui (West)
  • 8: Gen (Northeast)
  • 9: Li (South)

📖 The Primary Verses (經文原文)

The following verses from the primary scripture describe the consequences when the Sha-Shui balance is violated.

1. Kan (North) - Preference: Sha (High) / 坎卦位

"If North has Water, fame becomes fluid and loose. It easily attracts legal disputes and entanglements..."

Technical Essence: Water in the North leads to instability in reputation and kidney-related health issues. High ground here secures the "Middle Son" and family status.

一水主風流，易惹官司糾纏。
北水若通，財源不聚，病及腎經。

2. Kun (Southwest) - Preference: Sha (High) / 坤卦位

"If Southwest has Water, the women of the house find no peace. It brings relationship scandals and stomach ailments..."

Technical Essence: Southwest is the Mother's palace. Water here disrupts the family's nurturing energy. Sha here brings longevity and matriarchal authority.

二水主淫亂，婦女不安寧。
坤水若旺，多病且雜，不利老母。

3. Zhen (East) - Preference: Sha (High) / 震卦位

"If East has Water, the Eldest Son struggles to establish himself. Qi becomes stagnant and courage fails..."

Technical Essence: East governs growth. Water here "drowns" the rising wood energy. Sha in the East ensures career breakthroughs and male vigor.

三水主長子，敗業不興。
震水若發，肝膽受損，長房凋零。

4. Xun (Southeast) - Preference: Sha (High) / 巽卦位

"If Southeast has Water, intellectual pursuits are hindered. Wealth is gathered but quickly lost to vanity..."

Technical Essence: Southeast is the palace of Wisdom. Water here causes mental confusion. Sha here supports academic success and steady wealth.

四水主風疾，聰明反被聰明誤。
巽水若見，名譽受損，財氣難存。

6. Qian (Northwest) - Preference: Shui (Low) / 乾卦位

"If Northwest has Sha, the Father's authority is challenged. It brings loneliness and headaches..."

Technical Essence: Qian is the Heaven palace. It requires Water or Roads to "release" its authority. Sha here causes isolation and respiratory issues.

六砂主孤獨，老父受氣。
乾砂若高，頭痛骨酸，官運受阻。

7. Dui (West) - Preference: Shui (Low) / 兌卦位

"If West has Sha, arguments and verbal clashes abound. It brings injury from sharp objects..."

Technical Essence: West is the mouth. Sha here causes "cutting" speech and legal disputes. Water here brings joy and helpful connections.

七砂主口舌，災禍連連。
兌砂若大，肺部欠佳，少女受累。

8. Gen (Northeast) - Preference: Shui (Low) / 艮卦位

"If Northeast has Sha, offspring become stubborn and lineages may cease. It blocks future prosperity..."

Technical Essence: Gen is the "Gate of Change." Sha here traps the energy of the future. Water here ensures a healthy lineage and ongoing luck.

八砂主絕嗣，後代艱難。
艮砂若重，指骨受傷，進財無門。

9. Li (South) - Preference: Shui (Low) / 離卦位

"If South has Sha, heart health is compromised and fire accidents occur. Reputation is burned by scandal..."

Technical Essence: South is Fire. Sha here "overheats" the energy. Water or roads here cool the environment and bring rapid wealth activation.

九砂主火災，目疾心慌。
離砂若顯，官非橫禍，財散如煙。
