YUANHAI ZIPING / COLLECTION 2

Collection Two: close reading of verses and conditions

Read passages from Jishan pian, Xiji pian, Shenqu, Wuxing yuanli xiaoxi fu, Baofa and Xinjing ge, tracing conditions, section boundaries and textual layers.

Selected passages in the 1634 five-juan witness distinguish large text, interlinear old notes and upper-register wording. Checking selected quotations does not amount to a complete collation of the book; these are cultural and textual readings, not scientific validation of prediction.

  1. READING 01

    How conditions work together in a Jishan pian paragraph

    Read priorities, degree words, reversals and a concluding connective together in the 1634 Jishan pian, without turning a general preference into an unconditional rule.

  2. READING 02

    Why the sayings in Xiji pian need to be read together

    Follow a change from weighing mixed relations to a conditional Seven Killings example, then notice when the next saying starts a different inquiry.

  3. READING 03

    What the eight methods of Shenqu actually classify

    Compare the reference, branch arrangement and conditions behind each of the eight names in the 1634 Shenqu passage, without treating a reading table as a unified calculator specification.

  4. READING 04

    What the images in Wuxing yuanli xiaoxi fu can and cannot establish

    Separate floating Wood and buried Metal imagery from branch positions, traditional judgments and modern evidence, without translating every life-and-death term into a health prediction.

  5. READING 05

    Is Baofa a single route from first step to verdict

    Compare the opening order, six-category checks and relational chains in the two Baofa passages, keeping a modern checklist distinct from a claimed original algorithm.

  6. READING 06

    How to distinguish a poem from its explanations

    Use the 1634 witness's Xinjing ge opening to identify headings, type size and upper-register text, keeping original wording, old notes, translation and modern evaluation distinct.
