古籍讀書報告。耕寸集 Ancient book report (1)
題明不著撰人。清敬一堂鈔本
台灣中央圖書館藏善本。子部術類類命相之屬
耕守集當明版子平真詮，書命例多摘錄自子平三命通變淵源、三命通會二書。
子平三命通變淵源成書於南宋未，三命通會成日書於明萬曆六年（西元一五七八年）。據此可知是書成於明萬曆六年之後的明晚期，作者生平及籍貫均不可考。
耕守集一書深入挖掘原始子平命學用神含義，大量借鑒子平三命通變淵源中富貴命例，將用神與格局的成敗，變化的道理闡發無遺，而對具體流年及涉及事項較少提及，是古代命學專論富貴集中體現。

古籍篇：六經天文編。(宋)。天文
Changes in nature phenomenon ~ Sung Dynasty
離為日。日天文也。艮為石。石地文也。天文在下。地文在上。天地之交相飾成賁。
聖人觀乎天文則知剛柔有常矣。故南面而立。視昏旦之星。日月之次。以知四時。
寒暑之變。春震秋兌。泰之時也。
夏離冬坎。賁之時也。
泰易為賁。四時互變。時變之象也。離有坎。日降而月升也。
坎復而成離。月降而曰升也。天氣也而成文。
文。康熙字典曰。說文解字
依類象形。故謂之文。
Astronomers used the bagua concept to explain their knowledge about the constant changes of the nature phenomenon.
Experts observed the regular take turns of day and night time and they know the changes of the four seasons.
Summer and then autumn, hot and then gets cold. This is the fixed pattern of the nature phenomenon
古籍篇：宋。六經天文編卷上。天道。易。天行健
Strength of the sky ~ concept in the old days
天者乾之形。乾者天之用。天之形望之其色。
狀如倚杵(立杵於地可倚於天)。此天形也。
言其用。則一晝一夜之間。夫。人一呼一吸。謂之一息。一息之間。
人之一晝一夜。則天之健。用可知。
天一而已。但天行則見其一日。一週。而明日又一週。若重複之象。
非至健不能也。
Back in the Sung dynasty, which is around 745 years ago in the Chinese history. Astronomers, they do not have all kinds of advanced tools to observe the sky. In their eyes, they have their own unique concepts, which are cleared written down in ancient books which we can read today.
In this chapter, they stated that their concept of the sky is active and strong. This concept comes from the regular patter of day and night time. They used the Bagua system to explain their thoughts too. The sky is Qian trigram 乾卦.
The shape of the sky is like the main pole to support the height of the sky. The regular and fixed pattern of day and night time changes is just like the inhale and exhale of a human, this is another example of fixed changing pattern. If the energy of the sky is not as active and strong as usual, it cannot perform the regular changes between night and day. This is also the picture of Qian trigram too.
古籍篇：三車一覧。論驛馬 Round around stars 🐎 ~ concept from the old days
申子辰馬在寅 寅午戌馬在申
巳酉亥馬在亥 亥卯未馬在巳
何以謂之？
答曰。驛者。郵亭也
注：郵遞活動中的一種設施，指古時傳遞文書的人沿途休息的處所或郵局在街上設立的收寄郵件的處所，看起來像一個亭子，所以被大家稱之為郵亭。
安也。馬者。駿駟有傳受之氣。有代勞之功。
病處見子謂之馬也。如人病不能進。待子來接。既見文到。則如驛馬之來。
申子辰水局。生於申。病於寅。寅屬木水生乎木。木為子。此乃病處見子。
Round around star is an important symbolic star that used in reading bazi pillars. Let’s restore the original meaning of how people looked at this star in the old days.
This is based on the concept of the 4 elements trio combinations.
Water; fire; wood and metal and the twelve stages of life of a heavenly stem.
Water trio at Yin 寅
Fire trio at Shen 申
Metal trio at Hai 亥
Wood trio at Si 巳
The original concept is when a person is ill (the 7th stage, the ill stage) and asked his son to work for him on behalf, this stands for the round around star.
古籍：大定新篇(卷一)。乾旋坤轉圖 Diagram of the yin & yang energy of a year.
一年十二月。陰陽消長在此二分。二至消息盈虛。是造化之妙。
乾生於子為復。冬至陽初生。陰漸退。故坤盡於子。
十二月二陽生為臨。正月三陽交泰。雖一陽復後巳盡然。
外卦三陽內卦三陰。三陽猶相體。敵至二月。四陽生。陰陽博戰是大壯。春分時也。專進陽退陰。坤自此轉矣。
This paragraph is from an ancient book about the circulation of yang & yin. It clearly stated that, based on the twelve months, the energy of yin and yang are being circulate continuously .
古籍：事林廣記。十二卷。南宋。陳元靚篇
虹霓説。霜中説 Rainbow and Frost, how people describe it during the Song dynasty?
虹霓説。
虹陽氣之動也。虹攻也。純陽攻陰之氣也。䆁名雄曰。蜺(同虹)舊說。虹常雙見。
鮮盛者雄。其闇(意，暗)雌也。一曰赤白色謂之虹。青白色謂之蜺。
Rainbow ~
people believed when rainbow appears, the yang active energy is back on, since rainbow always present when sun comes out after the rain, rain in their eyes is yin energy, the yang is replacing the yin and then they see rainbow and it often comes as double too.
霜説。
秋三月青女乃出。降以霜雪。(青女乃霜神。青腰玉女。司霜雪者。淮南子)豐山有九鐘，霜降而自嗚(山海經)。鄒衍事燕惠王。左右譖之。繫於獄仰天而哭。盛夏為之降霜(淮南子)。駟見而霜隕。
Frost ~
Frost often appears at the end of the autumn season as the temperature continues to plunge. According to mythology, there were nine musical bell on a high hill, when frost comes, it will sound automatically, then people will know frost is coming and they have to get well prepared.
古籍篇：月令輯要。七日來復 The concept of circulation of seven
七日來復。陽生於子。陰生於午。自午至子。七而必復。乾坤消息之理也。
故以一日言之。自午時至夜半。復得子時。
以一年言之。自五月至十一月。復得子月。
以一月言之。自午日。凡七日復得子日。
以一紀言之。自午歲。凡七歲復得子歲。
故六十卦。當三百六十日。而兩卦相去皆以七日。
The concept of seven days, hours, months and year circulation was acknowledge by people at the time. They marked with Wu (午) and Zi (子). Start from Wu and end with Zhi, that is seven.
In terms of solar terms, yin starts in Wu month when its the solar term, summer solstice (夏至), and seven months later, when it gets to Zhi month, yang starts and is the time of solar term, winter solstice (冬至).
In terms of twelve months in a year, the fifth month is Wu month, seven months later is Zhi month.
In terms of a month, from Wu day and seven days later, it’s Zhi day.
In terms of Chinese zodiac of twelve cycle, from year of Wu (horse) to the year of Zhi (rat), is seven again.
People see this regular change of times, and the changes of element based on seven. Wu stands for fire energy, while Zhi stands for water energy, due to this patterns leads to changes, this applies to almost everything in the world. As a result, they can imply this concept into fortune telling and forecast the time length that a change is likely to introduce.
This circulation is a pattern from the nature, which means, no matter what, as time goes forward, this change must take place.

山海經裡的青龍與白虎 Classic of Mountains ~ Green Dragon and White Tiger

青龍又名倉龍，東方之神，屬木，謂句芒之精。
山海經，大荒東經：＂大荒東北隅中，有山名曰凶犁土丘。 應龍處南極，殺蚩尤與夸父，不得復上，故下數旱，旱而為應龍之狀，乃得大雨。＂
白虎自古有避邪，禳災，祈豐，懲惡揚善等諸多神力，同時也是權勢、尊貴的象徵。
山海經，西次四經裡有這樣的記載。

Book quote of the day 18/9/2023
耕寸集： 干動而不息，支靜而有常。
This is a book quote from the book 耕寸集。 It is about the nature of heavenly stems and earthly branches.
In Bazi pillars reading, heavenly stems are on the top level while the earthly branches are on the bottom level.
Nature of stems are clear and pure, not mixed with other elements and it is a single dominate energy, and totally ten of them are non stop circulating.
Branches are totally the other manner. It is a combination of a couple of energies, therefore it is a mixture and carry a fusion of properties. As the time line goes forward, it is also circulating continuously. We can interpret this process as changes of different seasons.

《三車一覧》
天若無土，不能圓蓋於上。
地若無土，不能營運於中，五常不立。
此三才不可缺土也。
In this book quote, it mentions about the earth element in the five elements theory. Earth element is a very special and unique type of element among the other elements. On theory, earth element can generate growing energy for the metal element and fire element generates earth element in the cycle.
When we take a look in the nature, it is talking about the importance of the earth element in the environment as a whole.
In the case of earth element absence, the sky cannot exist above the ground, then it is not on the top.
If earth element is absent on the soil, then nothing can be existed and no living energy is made possible.
On the whole, if earth element is being absent in the nature, nothing can exist.

《月令廣義》
天地之運，日月之明，寒暑之代謝氣化，人物之生息，終始盡於此矣。
氣候之運行，雖出於天時，而實有關於人事。
In various chinese fortune telling, we always come across the term ‘Qi’ or energy. I would prefer to use the term ‘flow of energy’. Actually, what does experts in the old days referred to when they mentioned the term ‘Qi’?
I came across this classic book, and it gave me some ideas of what qi was referring to in those days. It mentioned fate too.
Fate, time is an important factor. Sun rises and moon goes down as time goes. Summer and winter pass by, as time goes by. Human beings also takes a critical role in this situation. As time goes, human changes are actually putting these procedures into physical status.
