Proof before verdict.

Season, roots, purity, supply, and role-fit must support every conclusion.

What this page covers

Definitions that discipline judgement.

Zi Ping Zhen Quan sits in the Ziping lineage as a precise classical digest: it clarifies Day Master quality, Ten-God roles, structure calls, purity and mixture, combinations and clashes, and disciplined Yong Shen selection.

If Yuanhai Ziping lays out the engine and Di Tian Sui sharpens conditional judgement, this text polishes the vocabulary and shows where each rule ends.

Ambiguity is expensive. A term without proof is not analysis; it is decoration.

What the book contains

Six parts of a defensible reading.

Day Master quality

Seasonal Qi, help versus pressure, and credible branch roots.

Ten-God roles

Acquisition, control, support, and exposure—not personality moods.

Structure recognition

Normal, follow, half-follow, authority-balanced, output-, wealth-, or resource-led.

Purity and mixture

Clean seats act quickly; muddy seats compete with themselves.

Combinations and clashes

Transformation requires timeliness, rooting, and context.

Yong Shen discipline

One main corrective that resolves the chart’s central tension.

Non-negotiables

Seven rules that prevent drift.

01

Day Master at center

Everything else is context, pressure, supply, or expression.

02

Season first

Off-season strength requires a visible and credible supply chain.

03

Roots matter

Stems without branch support are appearance without custody.

04

Roles, not adjectives

Ten Gods describe power flow and function—not flattering traits.

05

One main corrective

Choose a singular Yong Shen inside the proven structure.

06–07

Purity and proof

Clean supply beats mixture. No proof means no claim.

Ten Gods clarified

Read function inside the flow.

印 / 枭

Resource

Feeds and refines; civilizes Officer. Excess can create dependency or steal Output.

比 / 劫

Companions

Coalition or contest; may carry a follow structure or cannibalize Wealth.

食 / 伤

Output

Produces, exposes, and feeds Wealth; can control Killing when proportioned.

财 / 偏财

Wealth

Acquisition and responsibility; requires Output feed, roots, and custody.

官 / 七杀

Officer / Power

Order, status, and constraint; raw Killing needs control and refinement.

What counts as real

A label must explain the supply chain.

Normal · 非从

Credible self-power

Helpers and controllers both exist. Smooth the principal stress with the correct Yong Shen.

Follow · 从格

True yielding

Weak self, season favors the leader, resistance is minimal, and the leader has real roots.

Half-follow · 假 / 半从

Resistance remains

Treat it as normal unless Luck Pillars remove that resistance for sustained periods.

Authority-balanced

Power is refined

Officer matters, Resource civilizes it, and Wealth cannot starve the system.

Output / Wealth

Conversion and custody

Show who feeds whom, what leaks, and where the result is held.

Resource-led

Support with purpose

Resource must serve a functioning chain, not merely inflate the self.

Purity · 清

Clean seats act quickly.

Lead with the uncontested function. Its role, supply, and result remain legible under pressure.

Mixture · 浊

Muddy seats pay a speed tax.

Rival functions slow decisions. Quarantine them until time or structure separates the conflict.

Yong Shen protocol

One tension. One corrective. Five proofs.

The useful spirit must work inside the selected structure without creating a worse failure elsewhere.

Name the primary tension.Harsh Officer, dry Wealth, leaking Output, Companion theft, or another demonstrable stress.
Propose one resolving spirit.Choose the main corrective inside the structure already proven.
Prove supply.Show timeliness, roots, and support—not wishful availability.
Check side effects.Make sure the correction does not starve or inflame another critical seat.
Stress-test through Luck Pillars.Ask whether permission exists now or later; reclassify if any step fails.

Abstracted micro-cases

Evidence changes the verdict.

False follow

Wealth season, but self is rooted

Deep self-roots and present Companions invalidate follow. Read it as normal under Wealth pressure; use Output to feed Wealth and reduce theft incentives.

Authority without refinement

Officer strong; Resource thin

The structure wants Resource to civilize Officer. Reduce public sharpness until refinement holds.

Output glory

Clean Output; Wealth unrooted

Output-led, but Wealth is dry. The correction is rooted Wealth with custody while cadence is controlled to prevent leakage.

Companion swarm

Half-follow under changing weather

Verify rooted Wealth and an Output cadence; tie incentives to audited revenue as pillars alter the field.

Five-step study plan

Learn it honestly.

  • Read once for definitions and prohibitions.
  • Use six boxes: Day Master, season, helps/hurts, roots, structure candidates, Yong Shen sentence.
  • Diagram supply maps and mark clean versus muddy seats.
  • Keep an error ledger: season, roots, purity, role, or pillar.
  • Re-grade verdicts monthly against outcomes.

Common misreads

Stop doing alchemy.

  • Calling follow without proving the absence of resistance.
  • Patching the self when the field clearly demands follow.
  • Treating Ten Gods as personality adjectives.
  • Using combinations to hand-wave supply and custody.
  • Naming a Yong Shen that requires switching structures.

The bottom line

Name structure and Yong Shen in one sentence—with proof.

Zi Ping Zhen Quan replaces superstition with fit, timing, and restraint. When the evidence ends, the verdict ends too.
