What is the vernacular explanation of Guiguzi?

The so-called "double-headed pliers", in numerology, combine the annual stem and the time stem at both ends of the four-column Tianyuan into a hexagram to discuss the fate of life; Because the annual stem and the seasonal stem form a "clamp" potential at both ends of the four columns, it is called a "double-headed clamp".

Double-headed pliers "combine annual stems with seasonal stems into one hexagram" and "divide roots, seedlings, flowers and fruits into four columns", which not only contains the innate phenomenon of life, but also implies the cause and effect of the third generation. At the same time, they use their years to "measure their power and ability, seek far and near" and "settle down and be close to each other" to determine the success or failure of their inheritance, dispersion, prosperity and decline.

Therefore, Guiguzi's double-headed pincers are not only the essence of ancient fortune-telling that Guiguzi perfectly combines the theory of "flying pincers" in vertical and horizontal surgery with four-column numerology, but also one of the important numerology methods that have been handed down for thousands of years in China since ancient times.

Guiguzi's main works are Guiguzi, Yin Fu's Seven Jues and Guan Ling's Biography of Yin Xi. Guiguzi focuses on tactics and debating skills, while Yin Fu's Seven Methods and Guan Ling Yin Xi's Biography in the classics focus on nourishing the heart and keeping a keen sense of self-cultivation.

The first three chapters of Yin Fu's seven techniques in this classic explain how to enrich the will and cultivate the spirit. The last four chapters discuss how to apply the inner spirit to the external world and how to deal with external things with the inner mind.

What strategists advocate is the skill of tactics and argument, and its guiding ideology is quite different from the benevolence and morality advocated by Confucianism. So for a long time, scholars have little praise for Guiguzi, but scoffed at it.
