Four-column and eight-character canopy inspection method, free four-column and eight-character arrangement.

Four pillars and eight characters are the unique numerology of the Chinese nation. The "Gai Hua" in the Eight Characters is an important part of the five elements belonging to the earth in the Eight Characters, and it is considered as the source of wealth and wisdom of the Lord. The "Gai Hua" in four pillars and eight characters usually consists of the annual branch, the time branch and the five elements of the solar column. If any one or more of these branches has a "prosperous phase", it is called a "canopy". Gai Hua's position is the source of God's wealth and wisdom. "Wang Xiang" is the basis of the relationship between the five elements in the eight characters, that is, the relationship between the five elements. Such as wood fire, fire born soil, natural gold, gold born water, aquatic wood. Therefore, if the five elements in Gai Hua's branch are related to the five elements in other branches, they can be called "flourishing phase" when arranging the eight characters, and the following points should be noted: 1. The five elements of year, month, day and hour, as well as their favorite gods and taboo gods. 2. The relationship between heavenly stems and earthly branches and the five elements on the year, month and sun column, and their combination. 3. heavenly stems and earthly branches's five elements on different four pillars. Only by fully understanding the above points can we treat the "Gai Hua" in the eight characters more accurately and make clear its influence on the fate of the Lord. In the process of arranging eight characters, various eight-character arrangement tools can be used for calculation. These tools are available and usually provide detailed explanations and analysis results.
