BaZi: An Early Classic - 四言独步 SYDB Four Words Invincible Steps Part 3
五行生旺，不怕刑囚；东西南北，数尽方休。Five elements born prosperous, does not fear punishment or imprisonment, east west south and north, direction where the count ends is at rest.
Trey: Five elements refers to the DM and all the gods in the chart. Being born prosperous or having Qi is an advantage because when LP goes to the places where the element is 'dead' or 'extinct', it can still function well.
寅申巳亥，四生之局；用物身强，遇之发福。
子午卯西，四败之局；男犯兴衰，女犯孤独。
Trey: Five elements refers to the DM and all the gods in the chart. Being born prosperous or having Qi is an advantage because when LP goes to the places where the element is 'dead' or 'extinct', it can still function well.
寅申巳亥，四生之局；用物身强，遇之发福。
Yin-Shen-Si-Hai, the structures of 4 births; usable substances and self prosperous, meeting this is successful
Trey: Yin, Shen, Si and Hai are 4 places where elements are born, Yin is the birthplace of fire and earth, Shen of water (and earth), Si of metal and Hai of wood. Usable substances refer to Useful Gods, for example earth born in Shen can use Wealth, fire born in Shen can use Officer. Wealth and Officer gets ChangSheng Qi from the Month EB and together with a strong DM, the chart becomes a good structure.
辰戌丑未，四库之神；人元三用，透旺为真。
Chen-Xu-Chou-Wei, the gods of 4 storages; the Human Origin gets 3 uses, protrusion and prosperous are regarded as true.
Trey: This verse talks about DM born in the month of the earth, all 3 Qis contained in the earth can be used when they protrude and they are prosperous.
Take for example Jia born in Xu, Xu contains earth as the main Qi, which is Wealth, metal as the residual Qi, which is Officer and fire as storage Qi which is the output. The true Useful God is the one that protrudes or is prosperous.
子午卯西，四败之局；男犯兴衰，女犯孤独。
Zi-Wu-Mao-You, the structures of 4 defeats'; committed by men denotes rise and fall. committed by women denotes loneliness.
Trey: I have no idea why it is like this.
BaZi: SMTH 论食神 Discuss Food God part 2
食多者宜行印运，食少者不宜，是枭神夺食，故食喜旺禄相助，月令建禄最佳，时禄次之，更逢贵人运，行食神生旺之地，大地福禄。
Seal LP is beneficial for chart with a lot of Food God, but for chart with few Food, it is not beneficial, that becomes Owl God seizing Food, thus Food favors to be supported by Lu and Wang (Qi phases), Lu and Wang in the month decree is the best, Lu in the hour is second best, if LP has Noblemen and it is also the place where Food God is Sheng and Wang, denotes great blessings.
忌身衰枭旺，柱中虽喜见财，亦不宜多，多则不清，不过一富翁而已。
Fears weak Self with strong Owl, even though it is favorable to have Wealth in the pillars, it should not be too many, too many is no clear, can be no better than a rich person only.
食神重见，变为伤官，令人少子，纵有，或带破拗性，又不可入墓，即是伤官入墓，住寿难延。
When Food God is seen repeatedly, it changes to become Hurting Officer, then the person will have few children, even if he has, the child will be uninhibited (stubborn, headstrong), also it cannot enter tomb, even though if it is considered HO entering grave, it denotes difficulty in having a long life.
大忌空亡，更有官煞显露，为太医师巫术数九流之士，若食神逢克，又遇空亡，则不贵，再行死绝或枭运，则因食上气上生灾，翻胃噎食，缺衣食，忍饥寒而已。
Greatly unfavorable is KongWang, the person will become the lowest rank in his profession, if Food is being countered, it cannot be noble, moreover if LP goes to place where Food is in Death or Extinction or if LP is Owl, disaster is on the Qi of Food, stomach will be overturned (stomach upset) and choke on food, lack of clothing and food, endure famine and cold.
又曰：甲日食丙，柱中无壬癸亥子方好，如有水气，丙自受制，屈伏于人，己身不能卓立，岂能生物以养其父？
Also it is said: Jia day eats Bing, without Ren and Gui in the pillars is good, if there is water Qi, Bing will be countered, submit or surrender to others, it cannot for itself, how can it engender something to nurture its father (DM)?
如无此制，又要生旺向禄，如丙生夏月，运历东南，火土俱旺，其甲用财必厚。
If there is no such restraint, it also needs to be born prosperous and 'facing fortune', like Bing (Food) born in summer, LP goes East and South, fire and earth are both prosperous, that Jia that uses Wealth will have abundant wealth.
若生三春甲旺，丙火虽得生，不知戊己气薄，须历南方火土俱旺，方许发福。
Say if Jia is born in the three springs. although Bing fire gets ChangSheng qi, Wu and Ji has thin Qi, so LP needs to go South where fire and earth are prosperous, only then one can be successful.
又如庚以壬为食，运历北方水旺之地，发财必厚，东方木旺之乡，发福必紧。
Also like Geng has Ren as Food, when LP goes to north where water is prosperous, one will become very rich, when it goes east where wood is prosperous, one will become rich fast (i think).
细论之，庚以壬为食，长生于申，当断申地福重，暴败在酉，壬水至酉，便不为佳，以壬生甲木为庚之财，即自生分发身之财，非婚配正妻之财，甲至酉地为木困金乡，壬水自败，木岂能助养其父？
If we analyze carefully, Geng has Ren as Food, it ChangSheng in Shen, so Shen should be regarded as a strong blessing place, suddenly it fails at You, Ren water when is in You is not good,and Ren can engender Jia wood as wealth for Geng, the wealth that is engendered by Self, it's not the wealth like being married to the wife, Jia until You is when wood is imprisoned, Ren water is failing (MuYu), how can wood help to support its father?
Trey: When Geng uses Ren as Food, Shen is a good place but You is not, as You is MuYu (failed / defeated) for water and does not support wood.
当断此运平平。
So this place should be analyzed as ordinary. (refers to You)
行至戌运，如干遇壬甲，亦只断其半吉半凶，逢戊可断其有灾，见庚可断其微福。
When LP goes to Xu, and if the Stems have Ren and Jia, it should be analyzed as 50 / 50 auspicious and inauspicious, seeing Wu can be regarded as having disaster, seeing Geng can be regarded as having small fortune.
亥运当言其大吉，子运癸水伤官，伤重泄本身之气，又庚死于子，甲败于子，当断生祸身灾。
Hai Luck is greatly auspicious, Zi Luck has Gui water as Hurting Officer, havy HO will exhaust Self, moreover Geng dies at Zi and Jia fails at Zi, so this should be analyzed as disastrous luck.
运至丑，庚金之库，水旺之乡，又有己丑助庚甲冠带成人之地，可断此十年发。
When Luck goes to Chou, it is the storage of Geng metal, and a place where water is prosperous, also it has Ji Chou to support Geng, Jia is under GuanDai where it is reaching into adulthood, so this 10-years should be regarded as successful years.
寅运亦吉，卯运有灾，余例此推。
Yin Luck is also auspicious, Mao Luck is disastrous, others are analyzed accordingly.
又曰：食神忌枭，亦有不畏者。
Also it is said: Food God dreads the Owl, but there are some that don't fear.
如
like:
己亥不畏丁倒食，丁与壬合化木，而壬禄在亥；
Ji Hai does not fear Ding Pouring Food, Ding and Ren combine to wood, and Ren 'Lu' at Hai.
丙午不畏甲倒食，甲与己合化土，而己禄在午；

庚为众阳之首，不畏戊倒食，戊，阳气归源之数，见戊作喜神论；
Geng as the leader of the gang of Yang (as in Yin Yang), does not fear Wu Pouring Food, Wu, is the number where the Qi of Yang returns to its sources, so seeing Wu is considered as XiShen (Favorable God)
已不倒食辛，阴气初发散之源；
Ji does not pour the food of Xin, as it is the source where the Qi of Yin (as in Yin and Yang) disperses.
庚不倒食壬，阳气初发散之源；
