Di Tian Sui / COLLECTION 2

Collection Two: relations and structural distinctions

Distinguish ti/yong and jing/shen explanations, then retain objects, timing and qualifications across strength and balance, source paths, clarity, following/transformation and firm/soft functions.

Six readings follow selected passages in the 1936 Jiyao, distinguishing short phrases, same-size explanations and parenthetical notes before tracing relational qualifications. Ti/yong, jing/shen, strength, balance, source paths, clarity, following/transformation and firm/soft functions retain their objects and conditions. These are not modern psychological categories, scores or complete birth charts. Located excerpts, original translations and figures support selected textual study, not full transcription, collation or empirical validation of prediction.

  1. READING 01

    Distinguishing ti/yong and jing/shen explanatory layers

    Separate day-master and outline ti/yong entrances from the qualified jing/shen allocation and surplus/insufficiency; retain the actual witness’s functions.

  2. READING 02

    Decline, flourishing and balance beyond element counts

    Keep internal states, extremes and balance exceptions; separately locate source-selection quantity and the seventh-month Ren/Gui contrast, without scores.

  3. READING 03

    Drawing source, stream and qualified connectivity paths

    Preserve source and stopping qualifications, the example’s unenumerated middle, Tongge’s actual title and distinct barrier-treatment verbs.

  4. READING 04

    What clear, turbid, genuine and apparent describe

    Clarity needs organization and qualifications, not one qi alone; genuine/apparent preserves disclosed factors and command/formation competition and old value language.

  5. READING 05

    Qualifications for genuine or apparent following and transformation

    Keep strict following premises and the local Jia/Ji time/number/position/exclusion conditions; si ji is unexpanded and usable apparent transformation remains apparent.

  6. READING 06

    Comparing firm/soft functions with accordance/opposition

    Distinguish attained firm/soft functions from qualified momentum; keep seventh-month stems and strict objects rather than personality or obedience rules.
