Introduction to "Zhen Zheng Zong Sheng"

Preface: What Is "The Standard of Divination"?

"Zhen Zong Zheng Zong" is a work by Wang Hongxu (Wang Weide) of the Qing Dynasty, and it isThe Only Authentic Textbook on the Liu Yao Na Jia System。

The core purpose of the entire book is summarized in one sentence:Fortune and misfortune are determined not by auspicious or inauspicious stars, but solely by the Five Elements' interactions—generation, restraint, movement, stillness, waxing, waning, punishment, clash, combination, and harm.

This book corrects all common misinterpretations found in the market, including arbitrary selection of Shen Sha (spiritual stars), incorrect analysis of You Hun and Gui Hun states, and misuse of hexagram names.

This has been compiled into:Develop charts, learn divination, calibrate rulesDedicated version: only the essential core concepts, no redundant classical Chinese.

I. The Authentic Core (The First Truth of the Entire Book)

Balance strength and weakness to determine harmony, distinguish movement and stillness to define clashes. Excess is corrected by reduction, while deficiency is remedied by addition.

Plain Language Explanation

1 First Step in Reading the Hexagram:Prosperity and decline(Month and Day determine strength)

2 Second Step of Divination:ActivityStatic lines have no effect; only moving lines drive change.

3: Divination principles onlyNeutralizeWhen too strong, it should be drained or controlled; when too weak, it should be supported or nourished.

[Practical Rules (Essential for Chart Casting)]

A static line can only be influenced by generation and control, but cannot actively generate or control other lines. A moving line and its transformed line hold absolute initiative.

II. On the Correct Use of Shen (The core of this book, correcting 90% of errors)

1: Original text of the Divine Method formula

I control wealth, my controllers are authority, those who nurture me are parents, I nurture descendants, and equals are siblings.

Plain Language Explanation

byThe element of the Gua Palace is me.Never assign Six Relatives arbitrarily.

1: Parents (protection, documents, elders, vehicles, housing, identification)

2 Guan Gui: The element that controls me (representing stress, official positions, disasters, illness, or petty people)

3 Wife/Wealth: What I control (money, goods, women, expenses, gains)

4 Descendants: My offspring (blessings, liberation, children, skills, controlling the Officer)

5 Brother: Relationships with peers (competition, financial loss, mutual support, obstruction)

2: Correcting Misconceptions about the Proper Use of Ying Yao as the Useful God (Key Correction)

When divining for others, distinguish between hierarchy and closeness; do not assume the response line (Ying Yao) is always the relevant indicator.

Authentic Rules

The biggest mistake in traditional methods: assuming the Yan line is always the answer, regardless of the situation.

Wang Hongxu explicitly corrected:

Occupant requiredBase on the six relatives.The response line represents only the other party's mindset, environment, or external circumstances—not the core entity of the matter itself.

To test a friend, check the Brother line; to test a spouse, check the Wealth line; to test a leader, check the Official/Ghost line.Do not always rely on the Yan Yao.。

III. Authentic Theory of Dynamic and Static Generation and Restriction (Core Logic for Chart Casting)

1 Static and Dynamic Rules

The trigram of the still represents inaction; the trigram of the active represents change. Stillness cannot overcome motion, but motion can overcome stillness.

Plain Language Explanation

1 Static Line: Lacks active force; can only passively receive generation and control.

2 Moving Lines: Possess the authority of generating and controlling, as well as transformation

3、Stillness cannot overcome motion; motion can overcome stillness.(Unbreakable Law)

2: Changing Line Rules (Authentic Method)

Movement begins the process; change concludes it. The moving line marks the start of an event, while the changing line signifies its outcome.

[Practical Rules]

1: The primary process is the moving line; the result is determined by the changed line.

2: Moving lines can generate, control, combine with, or clash against their original positions.

3: A changing line can control the original moving line, but a static line cannot control a changing line.

IV. The Authentic Theory of Strength and Weakness (The Sole Criterion for Determining Auspiciousness and Inauspiciousness)

The monthly pillar sets the framework, governing seasonal strength and decline; the daily pillar acts as the scale, determining the weight of fortune and misfortune.

Plain Language Core

1、Monthly Building Determines Strength and WeaknessWhen aligned with the month, energy is prosperous; when out of sync, it is weak, stagnant, or dead.

2、The right date determines success or failure.If the day supports, it succeeds; if the day opposes, it fails; if the day clashes, it moves; if the day harmonizes, it stabilizes.

3: Manage the big picture monthly, manage the specific timing daily.

Authentic Wang-Shuai Four-Level System

Wang, Xiang, Xiu, Qiu, Si (based solely on the monthly command, ignoring other deities)

V. Comprehensive Explanation of Xun Kong (One of the Most Important Divination Methods in the Book)

Xun Kong refers to Void. A Void occurring during a prosperous phase will eventually manifest; a Void occurring during a declining phase will remain fruitless.

Plain Language Explanation

Junk positions are not entirely useless; they fall into two categories:

1、Wangkong: Void, Pending Release, Duty Day, Fill Void, Clash Void leads to success

2、Empty: Vacuum, completely powerless, nothing accomplished

Authentic Methods for the Four Types of Void

Void, Fill Void, Close Void

(All software 90% lacks this four-layer logic.)

VI. Authentic Methods for Determining Monthly and Daily Breaks

1 Month Break

When a line is broken by the moon, it is like a person without roots: nothing can be accomplished, even if it appears prosperous.

ParseClashed with the monthly command, resulting in total collapse for this month; no power is available.

2: Daily Break / Dark Activation

A static line struck by the day's energy is considered a hidden movement if it is prosperous, or broken by the day if it is weak.

Core Rules (Chart Layout Must Distinguish)

1: Wang Jing is being clashed by the Day.Active (subtle force, urgent matters, short-term changes)

2: Peaceful clash with the Sun =Ri-po (decrepit, invalid)

VII. Authentic Method for Determining He-Chong, Xing, and Hai (Excluding Extraneous Theories)

First, assess the productive and controlling cycles; then examine combinations and clashes. Combinations can resolve clashes, while clashes can break combinations. When a combination contains control, evaluate the combination first, followed by the control. When a clash involves production, evaluate the clash first, followed by the production.

Authentic Priority (Chart Determination Order)

1 Motion/Stillness > 2 Strength/Weakness > 3 Generation/Control > 4 Combination/Clash > 5 Punishment/Harm

Myth Busting: Later generations erroneously added "Three Punishments, Four Harms, Universal Judgment." Wang Hongxu clearly stated:Punishment and harm are secondary; they do not determine fortune or misfortune. Only the interactions of generation and control dictate auspiciousness or inauspiciousness.。

VIII. Authentic Rules for Fu Shen and Fei Shen (Most Difficult, Most Authentic)

If I have no kin, I shall lie hidden beneath my position. The flying god is manifest; the hidden god is concealed.

Parse

1 Feishen: Current line of the original hexagram (explicit situation)

2 Fushen: Hidden Six Relations in the Palace (latent situations, hidden complexities, concealed issues)

Four Keys to Success and Failure：

Fushengfei: Giving up is useless

Feishengfu: Hidden Profits

Volkei: Powering Ahead Behind the Scenes, Forcing Results

Feikefu: Hidden disaster, suppressed powerlessness

IX. Correcting Misconceptions About Soul Wandering, Returning Soul, Six Clashes, and Six Harmonies

[Core Original]

The Soul-Drifting and Soul-Returning states, as well as the Six Harmonies and Six Clashes, are used only to determine the speed of events, not their auspicious or inauspicious outcomes.

Critical Correction (All Market Versions Are Incorrect)

1 Six clashes do not necessarily indicate misfortune; they primarilyFast, volatile, unstable, fleeting

2: Liuhe does not guarantee auspiciousness; the mainSlow, Delayed, Protracted, Stable

3, wandering spirit, repetitive, unpredictable

4: Reversion, Stagnation, Going in Circles

Fortune and misfortune depend on strength, weakness, generation, and control—not on the hexagram structure.(The book's most significant correction of misconceptions)

10. Authentic Interpretation Methods for Single Movement, Static Charts, and Multiple Chaotic Line Movements

1 Only

When only one line moves, the outcome is most focused—the main thread of the matter is singular.

2, Static Hexagram

When the six lines are quiet, rely on the birth and control of the day and month stars, as well as the prosperity or decline of the self line. Let stillness govern movement.

3: Multiple lines moving chaotically

When multiple lines move, prioritize the Shi line and Use God; treat other lines as secondary. Do not make hasty judgments.

Hands-onRegardless of the number of moving lines, only evaluate auspiciousness or inauspiciousness based on these four elements: Use God, Self Line, Changed Lines, and Day/Month.

11. The Authentic Theory of Shi and Ying (Correcting All Chart Calculation Errors)

The World Line represents the self and should serve others, external conditions, and outcomes. As the master of one's body, it governs the entire hexagram.

Authentic Rules

1: Shi Yao is prosperous: self-empowered, proactive, and controllable.

2 Shi Yao in a state of decline: lack of personal power, passivity, and difficulty.

3 Shike Ying: I control him; I take the initiative.

4 Ying Keshi: He controls me; I suffer passively.

5: Shi and Ying mutually generate each other—harmony and smooth progress.

6 Clash between Shi and Ying: Conflict and estrangement
