天干地支 HS / EB - Part 14 San Ming Tong Hui - Ji Earth

SMTH 己 Ji Earth

Dear viewers, please leave some comments how can I improve this blog.:)



己土继戊之后,乃天之元气,地之真土。
Ji Earth follows behind Wu earth, is the primordial Qi of heaven, and the true earth on earth. 


清气上升,冲和天地,浊气下降,聚生万物,谓之阴土。

Pure Qi ascends, harmonize heaven and earth, turbid Qi descends, collectively engenders ten thousand beings, it is names Yin earth.

天地人三才皆不可缺此土,如乾坤中一媒妁,阴阳失此,岂能配偶?

Heaven, earth and human, the three courses (refers to HS, EB and HHS) should not lack of this Earth,it is like the matchmaker of heaven and earth, if Yin and Yang does not have this, how can they match?

故于四行无不在,于四时则寄旺焉,乃真土也。

Thus in four elements, there's nowhere that is cannot be without,and in four seasons, it's still lodging prosperously, and this is true earth.

喜丁火而生,畏阳火而燥。

Likes Ding fire to engenders, fears Bing Fire as it gets parched.

其禄到午,午中丁火能生己土,被乙木盗其栽培之气。
It is at the stage of 'Lu' in Wu, Ding Fire in Wu can engender Ji Earth, Yi wood robs the nurturing Qi.

至于酉地,丁火而生,丁火既生,己土亦能生也;

And as for You land, Ding Fire is born, thus Ji earth also can be born.


至寅用事,木火司权,锻炼己土,遂成磁石,反失中和之气,岂有不损之理?

And what's happening at Yin, Wood and Fire take charge, molding Ji earth, eventually become porcelain rocks, lost it harmonious Qi, how can it not be broken?


故己土生于酉而死于寅。经云:火燥土裂。正此谓也。

Thus Ji Earth is born in You and dies at Yin. The classics says: Strong fire breaks the earth. That is the meaning of this.
