On Taking Luck in the Yang Blade Structure (Yang Ren Qu Yun)

Matching the Luck to the Blade's Control

The blade's luck turns on how it is controlled. With the officer, aid the officer — unless its root is already deep, in which case seal, peers and robbers are fine luck instead and only a combining wounding is unwelcome. With the killings, aid them if they are not very prosperous, but if too heavy turn to body and seal. And when officer and killings both appear, control and a strong body are welcome while wealth and the officer's country are not.
