何知章
旧题宋·京图撰;明代刘伯温注
八个问题,八个结构性的回答
全书最著名的一段,用大白话提问——怎知其人富、贵、贫、贱、吉、凶、寿、夭——却条条从结构回答,不作道德评判:富不是钱数,而是财气能否通到日主门前;贵是官星有没有照应;贫是财星在而「不真」。吉凶看喜神与忌神谁占上风;寿则看性定与元神之厚薄。
古籍原文与精注
古文原韵与英文对齐,包含逐句释义与解注
何知其人富,财气通门户。
【原注】门户:日主之门(日、时之位,一说为全局通气之处)。谓财星与身相通、能为我用,方为真富。
How do we know a person is wealthy? The wealth qi runs through the gate.
何知其人贵,官星有理会。
【原注】理会:有安置、有照应(得财生、得印化、不与伤官相战)。谓官星有用而非孤立。
How do we know a person is honoured? The officer star has a coherent connection.
何知其人贫,财神反不真。
【原注】财神反不真:财星虽见而无根、被劫、被合去,或身弱不能任财。
How do we know a person is poor? The wealth spirit turns out not to be true.
何知其人贱,官星还不见。
【原注】不见:官星缺而无所立(或伤官旺而无制、身旺无官)。传统以「贵贱」指社会地位,非人格评价。
How do we know a person is held low? The officer star is still not to be seen.
何知其人吉,喜神为辅弼。
【原注】喜神:用神及其相神。辅弼:左右扶持、得力相助。
How do we know a person is fortunate? The favourable spirit acts as the supporting minister.
何知其人凶,忌神辗转攻。
【原注】忌神:所忌之行。辗转攻:连环相克而无救援(如前忌去、后忌又来)。
How do we know a person is unfortunate? The hostile spirit attacks through one channel after another.
何知其人寿,性定元神厚。
【原注】性定:性情安定、格局不摇。元神厚:根气深厚、五气流通而不偏枯。
How do we know a person is long-lived? The nature is settled and the original spirit is thick.
何知其人夭,气浊神枯了。
【原注】气浊:全局杂乱相碍。神枯:无气无生发。⚠️ 本条为古典文献对格局的表述,产品文案不得据此作寿命断言(合规红线)。
How do we know a person dies young? The qi is turbid and the spirit is withered dry.
