BaZi: SMTH 官煞去留杂论 'Mixed Authorities' 7K + DO in a chart.

When DO is used in a BaZi chart, 7K is unfavorable. Likewise, when 7K is used in a chart, DO is naturally unfavorable. If DO and 7K are both present in the chart, it's a condition called 官杀混杂 (Officer and Devil mixed). Something I term 'Mixed Authorities'

Mixed Authorities is a form of sickness 病 for a BaZi, thus it requires a remedy '方'.


《喜忌篇》云：煞官混杂类，有去官留煞，亦有去煞留官。

<XiJiPian> says: For the likes of Mixed Authorities, it could discard Officer and save 7K and it could also get rid of 7K and save Officer.



盖言柱中官星七煞交差，月上见官时上见煞，或月上见煞时上见官，或四柱叠见，有物去官留煞者，即以偏官论，有物去煞留官者，即以正官论。

That is talking about having DO and 7K in a BaZi chart, like seeing DO on Month and seeing 7K on hour, or seeing 7K on Month and seeing DO on hour, or seeing them repeatedly in the four pillars, if there's an entity that can discard DO and save 7K, it should be discussed as Indirect Officer, if there's an entity that can discard 7K and save DO, it should be discussed as Direct Officer.



凡看去留，要详柱中官煞孰重孰轻，天干透者易去，月支所藏者难去，须伤官食神去官煞之物众而有力，方才去得。

When looking at the process of discarding and saving, one should see how heavy or light (strong or weak) the DO and 7K are, the ones that protrudes in the HS can be easily discarded, but the one hidden inside Month EB is difficult to be discarded, it requires Hurting Officer or Food God to be many and strong, only that it can be done.



五阳日食神，能去煞，又能留官；

The 5 Yang Daymasters with Food God, it can discard the Devil and save the Officer


五阳日伤官，但能去官，不能留煞，必须得羊刃合，方成去官留煞。

The 5 Yang Daymasters with Hurting Officer can discard Officer but cannot save the Devil, unless YangRen is present, with YangRen combined with the Devil, only the Devil can be saved.



假如甲日生人，甲以辛为官，庚为煞，若官重煞轻，得丙食一位，克去庚金，与辛相合，此谓去煞留官，有情而贵；

For example, a DM Jia,

Jia uses Xin as Officer, Geng as Devil, if Officer is heavy and Devil is light, having on Bing (Food), it would counter Geng metal away and combine with Xin, this is called 'discard Devil and save Officer', it is affectionate and thus noble;



若煞重官轻，得丁火伤官，克去辛金，再得乙木羊刃，与庚相合，此谓去官留煞，有情而贵。

If Devil is heavy and Officer is light, seeing Ding fire Hurting Officer, it would counter away Xin metal, also if Yi YangRen is present, it would combine with Geng, this is called 'Discard the Officer and save the Devil', it is affectionate and thus noble.



五阴日食神，能去煞却不能留官，日主自能留之，

The 5 Yin DayMasters with Food God, it can discard Devil but cannot save Officer but the DM itself can save the Officer,


五阴日伤官，能去官又能留煞。

The 5 Yin DayMasters with Hurting Officer, it can discard the Officer and it can also save the Devil.



假如乙日生人，以庚为官，辛为煞，若官重煞轻，得丁食一位，克去辛煞，则乙与庚合，此谓去煞留官，有情而贵；

Like a Yi DayMaster,


With Geng as the Officer and Xin as Devil, if Officer is heavy and Devil is light, having one Ding Food God will counter away Xin Devil, and Yi itself will combine with Geng, this is called 'discard Devil and save Officer, it is affectionate and thus noble;


若煞重官轻，得丙火伤官，克去庚金，来合辛金，此谓去官留煞，有情而贵。

If Devil is heavy and Officer is light, having one Bing Fire Hurting Officer, it would counter away Geng Metal and combine with Xin Metal, this is called 'Discard Officer and save Devil', it is affectionate and thus noble.



《元理赋》云：去煞留官当论贵，去官留煞主威权。

<YuanLiFu> says: Discard Devil and save Officer is analyzed as Noble, discard Officer and save Devil denotes authority.


又曰官星七煞交差，却有合煞为贵，此之谓也

It is also said: when DO and 7K see each other, to combine 7K would be noble, so it is said.



合煞有二义，有合去合来，合来是去官留煞，合去是去煞留官。

There are 2 kinds of combining Devil, combination to go and combination to come, combination to come is to discard Officer and save Devil, combination to go is to discard Devil and save Officer




I'll just stop here, the rest of the chapter talks about more or less the same thing.
