Jia Wood: The nature of forest trees
From the way trees extend themselves to reach sunlight for growth, (Jia) people will exert themselves to plan and develop in order to move upward from their current situation. Moreover, Moreover, their roots are always rooted firmly in the ground and therefore, they are not easily swayed by strong winds. The characteristics of people are that they have strong will-power, are outspoken, and will not give up easily even in the face of setbacks and obstructions. They are both righteous and direct, and not the type who will beat around the bush. They are not frivolous by nature. They have high morals, and having a good reputation is important to them. Strong, steady and down-to-earth, people are meticulous in their work. They have a strong sense of responsibility in all that they undertake to do, no matter what it is. They are known to be honorable people who do not succumb easily to temptations. people are able to sympathize and empathize with others and will not turn away when
they know someone needs help. However, this may lead to too much interference in another person’s life. Their shortcomings are that they can be stubborn, and may find it difficult to compromise. They are not as quick-witted and sometimes are not able to adapt to changing circumstances. Like a strong tree with firm roots, changes are unlikely to happen overnight. It is easy to anticipate and foretell the development and growth of the character of a person. In the same way that a tree grows naturally from a small plant into a tall and strong tree, a person will also grow and develop his character. It is unlikely that people would develop otherwise, unless they meet with a very great setback or they grow up in an abnormal environment.

autumn? Because the cold earth can extinguish fire and the fire cannot control the strong metal in autumn! born in the metal season is termed as trim wood. Fire is to prevent metal from damaging wood. If the environment is too hot, for example, there is an abundance of fire or as long as sits on , it can overcome the calamity effect.

Fire represents children and when prosperous meets fire it will have the ability to flourish. in Tiger month dislikes metal to be weak; its power will be questionable. That is why Tiger does not allow metal in this instance (scenario one) . If is born in the Rabbit month, it is extremely prosperous, and it needs to make use of its strong vitality so as to use fire for releasing its energy. Metal is very weak especially in Rabbit month. In this month, has reached its peak and needs metal to take him down for use and metal will have problem due to the wear and tear on its blade. That is why does not allow metal to be weak in this instance (scenario two) . That is why in spring does not allow metal in this state! And when is born in autumn, its energy is converging. The cause is due to the weak earth in autumn which is unable to give its foundation, which is being weakened by metal. That is why in autumn does not allow earth to be in this state! And when this happens will be threatened by metal! . And if branches form fire, and and also appear on its stem,’s vitality will be weakened and and it will feel burned out. Under these circumstances, circumstances, needs to sit on Dragon, as Dragon contains water storage, also as wet earth. With this, Dragon can support foundation and weaken fire. . And if formation of water, also appears on stem, water will float wood. In this instance, has to sit on Tiger T iger.. Because Tiger is the growing ground for fire and earth, and Tiger is thriving stage where is considered prosperous. With this in place, Tiger can act as absorbing water and will prevent from floating away. Water will be dissipated by Tiger T iger.. . And if metal is not forceful, and earth is not dry, fire is not intense, and water is not violent, can live for thousands of years.

論木 木生於春,餘寒猶存。喜火暖,則無盤屈之患。 藉水資扶,而有舒暢之美。春初不宜水盛, 陰濃則根損枝枯。春木陽氣煩燥,無水則槁根枯。 是以水火二物,既濟方佳。土多而損力,土薄則財豐。 忌逢金重傷殘剋伐,一生不閑。 設使木旺,得金則良,終生獲福。

Summary of wood Spring wood
Coming from a winter transition, Spring wood is still quite cold and loves sunlight as this will give wood much needed warmth. With sunlight , wood will not suffer from illness or misfortune. If there is warm water, wood will be a happy person and free from worry. In Tiger month water cannot be strong; too much water will cause decay to wood roots. In spring, wood’s yang energy is fidgety, or in other words, it feels restless, impatient and fussy. wood needs water to moisten its leaves and roots. And it is based on the use of the balance of fire and water. Multiple earths will require more effort from wood and less earth means more wealth. In spring, wood dislikes multiple metals as this will hurt and disable its growth. When this happens, the wood person will be busy throughout his life and have little or no leisure time. If wood is prosperous, it is good to have metal to control; this will bring much blessing and good fortune.
夏月之木,根乾葉燥,盤而且直,屈而能伸。 欲得水盛而成滋潤之力,誠不可少。 切忌火旺而招焚化之憂,故以為凶。 土宜在薄,不可厚重,厚則反為災咎。 惡金在多,不可欠缺,缺則不能琢削。 重重見木,徒以成林,疊疊逢華,終無結果。
Summer wood
Summer wood’s roots are shallow and its leaves are dry. Its character will be one of straight forwardness (that is, honest and sincere)! Wood is able to give and take, and learn from his own mistakes. If the water element is strong, it will moisten the environment and result in wet earth. This is very important as with moist earth, wood will regain its vigor. On the other hand, extreme fire can turn wood into ashes and this can be disastrous. Earth must be less; it cannot be thick and heavy. If earth is thick and heavy, it will become the cause of disaster for wood. Metal should be in abundance. If there is a shortage of metal, wood will have no future and can become useless. If wood is in abundance but there is no metal or a shortage of metal, a good outcome may not last and the end result may not be fruitful!
秋月之木,氣漸凄涼,形漸凋敗。 初秋之時,火氣未除,尤喜水土以相滋。 中秋之令,果以成實,欲得剛金而修削。 霜降後不宜水盛,水盛則木漂。寒露節又喜火炎,火炎則木實。 木多有多材之美,土厚無自任之能。

Autumn wood
Autumn wood qi is gradually weakened and the body withers away. At the beginning of autumn fire qi is still present, and it will be good if water and earth can complement each other. In mid autumn, wood is as good as dead and needs metal to cut it down and put it to good use. When frost sets in, signifying a change in the season, it is not ideal for water to be strong. When water is in abundance, wood will float! Fire is of paramount importance in this period; wood will be honest if fire is strong. If there are multiple woods, it can make the wood person very enterprising! If the earth is thick, this person will have problems in undertaking responsibility.
冬月之木,盤屈在地,欲土多而養。惡水盛而忘形。 金總不能剋伐。火重見暖有功。歸根復命之時。 木病安能輔助,須忌死之地,只宜生旺之方。
Winter wood
Winter wood wood multiple earths can culture wood. And when water is strong or in for mation, it will adopt bad habits and characteristics! Even the abundance of metal cannot demonstrate its vigor to wood. However, a strong fire can make a difference here. Sick and weak wood cannot provide any support to fire. wood must walk on prosperous ground; only then can it support fire! Luck will be the deciding factor!
三春甲木總論 春月之木,漸有生長之象。初春猶有餘寒,當以火暖,則有舒暢之美, 水多變剋,有損精神。重見生旺,必用庚金鑿,可成楝。 春末陽壯水,藉水資扶,則花繁葉茂。 初春無火,之以水,則陰濃氣弱,根損枝枯,不能華秀。 春末失水,之以火,則陽氣太盛,燥相加,枝枯葉乾,亦不華秀。 是以水火二物,要得時相濟為美。
In spring, is at a growing stage. Being in transition from winter, the beginning of spring is still cold so will be used first to balance the environment. In this aspect, all things can grow and the outcome will be serenity; multiples water becomes a threat, which will affect ’s vitality. If becomes overly strong and prosperous, Metal will have to be used to prevent the overly strong woods and then it can be used as wood for building houses because a forest of trees will not have bright future! The analects of 12 dimension and paradigms of
At the end of spring when yang qi is strong and it is thirsty for water, then water can serve as a balancing stage and all flowers will bloom. At the beginning of spring when there is little or no fire (that is, sunlight), s unlight), and water is the only valuable element during this stage, cannot grow because wet earth can decay its roots. cannot prosper. At the end of spring when the environment is getting warmer and there is a lack of water, water, will also face growing problems. That’s why in spring, water and fire have to be used together to aid ’s entire environment!
正月甲木: 正月甲木,初春尚有餘寒,得丙癸逢,富貴雙全。 癸藏丙透,名寒木向陽,主大富貴。風水不及, 亦不失儒林俊秀。如無丙癸,平常人也。

The analects of 12 dimension and paradigms of Understanding characters Wood: the nature of flowers and small plants
Like a small plant growing up softly and gently, and emerging as a beautiful and gorgeous flower, (Yi) people are meek and mild, richly expressive and have the ability to distinguish reality. They like to seek improvement and development in one’s own environment. As in a small plant or flower, 乙 reacts and responds very sensitively to any small changes of conditions or the environment. From this, we can see that 乙 people are quick-witted and are able to adapt very quickly to any change of circumstances. Other characteristics of 乙 people are that they can coordinate very well and will not insist on their own opinions. Although they can be very modest, they tend to be possessive at heart and are also very careful and meticulous. Like a little flower, they may appear weak but can still grow well in a harsh environment. In a typhoon, the small plants will sway and move in the direction of the typhoon. They will not wither easily even though trodden, as long as their roots are still intact. From this instance, we can see that 乙 people are not only very flexible but they are also realistic. In the financial aspect, 乙 people will make efforts to save as much as they can; they will not be wasteful when it comes to money and can be quite stubborn about this. Shortcomings are that they have a timid personality and are very dependent on others. Although they may be creative, things or events may not happen as they wished. Hence these problems may cause them to be distressed and lose their self-con fidence. Besides, they are likely to go against their own feelings and thoughts to follows others. They are swayed by temptations and may be deceived or misled by others easily.

If 乙 in autumn, see both rooster and monkey, it needs to take a single long step, as in passing over an obstruction. But if 丙 or 丁 appears by its side, 乙 will not be threatened by 辛. But if the land is too damp, riding on 午 does not make any difference because wet earth can support 辛. When 乙 is in autumn, as long as 甲 appears on the stem with rooted Tiger, it can use 甲 as a protection to pass through spring and autumn (meaning four seasons).

In spring dislike to see wood again because fire will become blazing! Summer dislikes earth because of blocking; autumn dislikes to see metal because metal is dif ficult to forge; and winter dislikes to see water because prosperous water can extinguish fire. So spring is more desirable, but not desirable for burning purpose and will become unrealistic. Autumn fire is better to be hidden in autumn; it is not desirable to be prominent. If it is prominent, it will be too dry. Winter fire is desirable to sit o on n growth ground and not preferred to be on water ground, because it can be extinguish at any point in time.

The analects of 12 dimension and paradigms of Understanding character Fire: nature of torch or o r candle, burning flame, quiet fire that is different from the sun
丁 people are mild, conservative, courteous and passionate. They do not have a strong personality.
Theirs is a Fire which is neither hot nor fiery, and they often do not let others know of their directions or movements; thus they do not attract attention from other people. The good points of 丁 people are that they are quiet, warm, unhurried. Their endurance and tolerance levels are very high, which is totally opposite of 丙 people. So, in order to get along with 丁 people, one must be patient and sensitive, and cannot be too frank. However, just like the situation where a fire requires various conditions to reach the burningpoint, this does not imply that 丁 people are negative or lack self-confidence. They will hide their thoughts or feelings in their heart, waiting diligently and attentively for the right opportunity to come knocking. knocking. Most of the time, others will not know know what丁people are thinking. Synthesis says: 丁 people’s contemplation is profound; their behavior is careful and cautious. There are very few cases where actions are carried out on impulse. Their thinking is like a careful vanguard, planning planning every matter to completion. This is like the the nature of a small fire, from ignition it burns anything until it turns into ashes. They can be likened to a fire burning slowly, sacri ficing oneself to bring warmth to those near them. Hence people will tend to be very close to those whom they know very well. They dedicate their hearts, even to the extent of sacri ficing themselves. As they are always thoughtful of the feelings of those who are dear to them, they will tend not to tell the truth. They also find it hard to reject anyone who is close to them even though they are aware that they themselves may lose out in certain circumstances. Shortcomings are that before reaching the ‘burning-point’, they will not display their innate qualities or feelings. This may cause others to mistakenly think that they are indecisive and sitting on the fence. As people like to consider every matter in detail over and over again, they can develop a suspicious frame of mind very easily and hence they must not over-estimate themselves.

Understanding going through each season Summary of Metal
論金 金以至陰為體,中含至陽之精,乃能堅剛,獨異物, 若獨陰而不堅,冰雪是也,遇火則消矣。 故金無火煉,不能成器,金重火輕,執事繁難。 金輕火重,煉消亡。金極火盛,為格最精。 金火全、名曰鑄印。犯丑字、即為損模。 金火多名為乘軒,遇死衰、反為不利。
Metal’s body is Yin, and yet contains Yang character, and can be forged; the strengthening will be determined by the intensi fication of its ingredient. There is also another metal that is not strong in character – it is the ice cube! ! If metal does not have fire to refine, it cannot become useful. When metal is stronger than fire, handling matters will be dif ficult. When fire is stronger than metal, one will get weak and will be eliminated slowly. It is best to keep both fire and metal balance. The structure will be most ideal. But seeing Ox is most disadvantageous, why? Because Ox will defeat the purpose of using ! With multiples of fire and metal namely dignity, or character; eminence. This is talking about killing goat blade structure; does not like to walk on dead and extinct luck, situation may be unfavorable or disadvantageous. (The highlight is on .)

Just like waters of rivers and sea flow continually everywhere, and drawn into various kinds of things, the person is worry free and optimistic; they don’t mind the past and are filled with courage to move on. They show enthusiasm in whatever they do. They like to help others and don’t mind hardships. They are vivacious, lively, high spirited and enjoy social activities, and often become the center of attraction. They are highly adaptable to change in any circumstances. They are also quick to grasp and will not miss any good opportunity that comes along. Once the drive kicks in, they will overcome all difficulties to meet their objective or reach their goal. Synthesis says that people are clever, intelligent intelligent and full of inspiration. They can be endowed in both civil and martial virtues, have leadership qualities, and are able to outshine and surpass themselves from others. Shortcomings are that although they have a well-rounded personality, they are willful. They can be lazy and this causes them to be dependent on others easily. people are very fond of freedom, dislike to be restrained or controlled. As a result, they are not able to hold on to the last minute at times. They are also easily affected and get entangled in love relationships.

Rain and dew are weak and fine, and can be soaked or immersed fully in object. Therefore, people are steady and peaceful, diligent, hardworking and have high levels of endurance. They have an introvert personality, are honest and down-to-earth. They are also very much into cleanliness. They can be very weak when managing their feelings. They are nervous, like to have fantasies and romantic thoughts or feelings. In order to attain the real meaning of life, they allow their hearts and feelings to lead them to pursue their dreams and goals. They may pay attention to rules and morals, but due to wishful thinking and fantasies, they may not be able to know and understand reality. Hence they can unknowingly engage in meaningless matters, sometimes putting too much thought into a small matter and this could lead to doubtful and distrustful thinking. Synthesis says that people are very pure and innocent, strong in coordination and can be affected over very small or meaningless matters. They are s ympathetic towards others but also can be cool and clear-headed at times. They are very sensitive to feelings and will tend to hide their own feelings from others. Therefore, they can appear mild on the outside. They pay much attention to the way of life, to live their dreams and enjoy their lives to the fullest. Shortcomings are that they can rigidly adhere to old methods or for malities, can be pessimistic and often have negative thoughts. However, though they create the starting point of these negative thoughts by complying with self principles, at the same time, they have the endurance and ability to live with the pain.

任氏曰:癸水非雨露之谓,乃纯阴之水。 发源虽长,其性弱,其势最静,能润土养金, 发育万物,得龙而运,变化不测。 所谓逢龙即化,龙即辰也,非真龙而能变化也。 得辰而化者,化辰之原神发露也, 凡十干逢辰位,必干透化神,此一定不易之理也。 不愁火土者,至弱之性,见火土多即从化矣; 不论庚辛者,弱水不能泄金气,所谓金多反浊,癸水是也。 合戊见火者,阴则阳生,戊土燥厚,柱中得丙火透露,引出化神,乃为真也。 若秋冬金水旺地,纵使支遇辰龙, 干透丙丁,亦难从化,宜细详之。

Its changes are unpredictable. As the saying goes when it sees Dragon will transform. Dragon has been discovered and revealed as the original transformation location, as long as ten stems receives a Dragon position, and stem appears transformation outcome, transformation transfor mation will take place. This is truly not easy to understand on a transformation structure! Because the explanations are very exten sive! is not worried about fire and earth, extremely weak character, see abundant fire and earth, can easily follow or transform; don’t mention , weak water cannot weaken metal qi, as the saying goes, multiples metal become chaotic, caused by .
