How to treat the arrangement of four columns and eight characters?

Pinching fingers was the standard action of fortune tellers in the past. The arrangement of four pillars and eight characters has complicated rules, but the time to deal with customers is generally limited. It is a basic skill to quickly discharge the four pillars and eight characters and find a special time for the combination of punishment and punching. In order to facilitate memory, the ancients used the joint positions and formulas of five fingers to complete this series of algorithms. In modern society, it is no longer so troublesome. You can enter the birthday and birth time in the four-column software, and you can complete it with your fingers. For example, it's the afternoon of April 6, 20 18 in the solar calendar 13: 4 1, and the girl born now gets four columns after input, that is, the birth calendar: 1898, Chen Bingyue, Wuyin Day, and the end.

These eight words can't be used to tell fortune, nor can they be used to judge character. There is a lot of information in the chart, such as the four-column arrangement just now. First, intercept the basic information of the upper part as follows:

Like God, the sun steals money.

Kunzao: pentaerythritol (Shen)

Chenchen Yin Wei

Xin injured the official, E killed the official, and B killed the official.

Ding, officer B, and Bing Xiao rob money.

E shouding

I know all Chinese characters, but what does the following "Xin Shangguan, Ding Yinzheng, Emei Jian ……" mean? Before we understand these terms, we should first introduce two basic concepts-"the underground branch hides the trunk" and "the ten gods". However, before these two concepts, there are some more basic knowledge to understand:

(1) the relationship between the five elements. It is easy to say that Jin Mu has fire, water and earth, and the numerology order is wood, fire, earth, gold and water, corresponding to the four seasons and birth order. Wood stands for spring. From the beginning of the year, raft is the first, fire stands for summer, second, water stands for winter, fifth, gold stands for autumn, and soil stands for the time period of seasonal change, and it has four seasons, ranking third in the middle. There are ten groups in the relationship between the five elements and the generation of fire, and there are two adjacent groups, namely, wood fire, fire-born soil, native gold, gold-born water and aquatic wood, which are separated by one gram, namely, wood fire, fire-born gold, earth-born water, Jin Kemu and water-born fire.

(2) heavenly stems and earthly branches's Yin-Yang and Five Elements. The five elements plus yin and yang make ten, and the ten-day stems are exactly distributed, namely: A (Yang wood), B (Yin wood), C (Yang fire), D (Yin fire), E (Yang soil), Ji (Yin soil), G (Yang gold), Xin (Yin gold), Ren (Yang water) and Gui (Gui). There are four branches of the Twelve Earthly Branches, so there are two yang and two yin, namely: Yin (Yang wood), Mao (Yin wood), Chen (Yang soil), Si (Yin fire), Wu (Yang fire), Wei (Yin soil), Shen (Yang gold), You (Yin gold) and Xu (Yang soil). We are used to the beginning of the twelve earthly branches, because it is the beginning of a day, but at the same time, silver moon is the beginning of a year. In the field of numerology, the general view is that the earthly branch of the moon has a much greater influence than that of the earthly branch of the time, so it usually starts with "Yin".
