天气克运曰天刑。假如庚子年乙庚化金，子午少阴君火，火下克金运。余仿此推之。
运生天气曰小逆。假如壬子、壬午年丁壬化木，子午少阴君火，木上生下火。余仿此推之。
运克天气曰不和。假如丙子、丙午、丙丁，俱是三江水，子午君火，水上克下火。余仿此推之。
\r天符之图\p01-e31a38.bmp\r
天符者，中运与司天相符也。如丁年木运，上见厥阴风木司天，即丁巳之类共十二年。
太乙天符者，如戊午年以火运火支，又见少阴君火司天三合为治也，共四年。
天符岁会相合曰太乙天符。戊午、乙酉、己未、己丑，六十年有此四年太乙天符。
运与四孟月同曰支德符。假如寅属木，春孟月也，壬寅岁水运临之。巳属火，夏孟月也，癸巳
年火运临之。六十年有此四年。余仿此。

六十年中纪运歌，运克气者为不和，气如生运名顺化，运被气克天刑多，小逆
见之运生气，气运合则天符过。
运与交司日相合曰干德符，甲与己、乙与庚之类。一年遇此二干，天地德合，亦为平气之岁也。
五运六气，相摩相荡，上加下临，六十年之纪不能齐。
太过之纪有五∶木曰发生，火曰赫曦，土曰敦阜，金曰坚成，水曰流衍。
不及之纪有五∶木曰委和，火曰伏明，土曰卑监，金曰从革，水曰涸流。
平气之纪有五∶木曰敷和，火曰升明，土曰备化，金曰审平，水曰静顺。
太过则乘己所胜而侮所不胜，侮反受邪，寡于畏也。不及则胜己者来欺之，子必为母复仇也。
天气克制岁运称为天刑。例如庚子年，乙庚化金，地支子午对应少阴君火，火在下克制金的岁运。其余年份依此类推。
岁运生助天气称为小逆。例如壬子、壬午年，丁壬化木，地支子午对应少阴君火，木在上生助火。其余年份依此类推。
岁运克制天气称为不和。例如丙子、丙午、丙申年（注：原文“丙丁”疑为笔误，结合上下文及干支历法，此处指代特定年份组合，译文保留原意逻辑），均属三江水局，地支子午对应君火，水在上克制下的火。其余年份依此类推。
天符者，是指中运与司天之气相符。例如丁年木运，上方见到厥阴风木司天，即丁巳等年份，共有十二年。
太乙天符者，例如戊午年，以火运和火支，又见到少阴君火司天，三者相合共同主治，共有四年。
天符与岁会相合称为太乙天符。戊午、乙酉、己未、己丑这四个年份，在六十年周期中出现四次太乙天符。
岁运与四孟月（四季的第一个月）相同称为支德符。例如寅属木，是春季的孟月，壬寅年水运临之。巳属火，是夏季的孟月，癸巳年火运临之。六十年中有此四年。其余依此类推。
六十年中记载岁运的歌诀：岁运克制运气为不和；运气生助岁运名为顺化；岁运被运气克制为天刑较多；出现小逆是岁运生运气；运气与岁运相合则为天符。
岁运与交司日（节气交接之日）的天干相合称为干德符，如甲与己、乙与庚之类。一年中遇到这两种天干相合，天地德气相合，也属于平气的年份。
五运六气，相互摩擦激荡，上加于下，下临于上，六十年的纪年规律不能完全整齐划一。
太过之纪有五种：木称为发生，火称为赫曦，土称为敦阜，金称为坚成，水称为流衍。
不及之纪有五种：木称为委和，火称为伏明，土称为卑监，金称为从革，水称为涸流。
平气之纪有五种：木称为敷和，火称为升明，土称为备化，金称为审平，水称为静顺。
太过则会乘袭自己所能胜克的，并反侮自己不能胜克的，反受邪气侵害，是因为缺乏敬畏之心。不及则会被胜过自己的克制，而子气必定会为母气复仇。
Heavenly Qi overcoming the Yearly Movement is called "Tian Xing" (Heavenly Punishment). For example, in the Gengzi year, Yi and Geng transform into Metal. The Earthly Branch Zi and Wu correspond to Shaoyin Junhuo (Lesser Yin Sovereign Fire). Fire below overcomes the Metal movement. The rest are deduced similarly.
Yearly Movement generating Heavenly Qi is called "Xiao Ni" (Minor Rebellion). For example, in the Renzi and Renwu years, Ding and Ren transform into Wood. The Earthly Branch Zi and Wu correspond to Shaoyin Junhuo (Lesser Yin Sovereign Fire). Wood above generates Fire. The rest are deduced similarly.
Yearly Movement overcoming Heavenly Qi is called "Bu He" (Disaccord). For example, in Bingzi, Bingwu, and Bing Shen years (Note: Original text says "Bing Ding", likely a typo for specific branch combinations or years), they all belong to the Sanjiang Water structure. The Earthly Branch Zi and Wu correspond to Junhuo (Sovereign Fire). Water above overcomes Fire below. The rest are deduced similarly.
"Tian Fu" (Heavenly符/Token) refers to the Central Movement matching the Si Tian (Chief of Heaven) Qi. For instance, in a Ding year with Wood Movement, if Jueyin Fengmu (Jueyin Wind-Wood) is the Si Tian Qi above, such as Ding Si, there are twelve such years in total.
"Taiyi Tianfu" (Supreme Unity Heavenly Token) occurs when, for example, in the Wuwu year, the Fire Movement and Fire Branch coincide, and Shaoyin Junhuo (Lesser Yin Sovereign Fire) is the Si Tian Qi above. The three combine to govern, totaling four years.
The combination of Tian Fu and Sui Hui (Year Meeting) is called Taiyi Tianfu. In the sixty-year cycle, Wuwu, Yiyi, Jiwei, and Jichou represent these four years of Taiyi Tianfu.
When the Yearly Movement coincides with the First Month of the Four Seasons (Si Meng Yue), it is called "Zhi De Fu" (Branch Virtue Token). For example, Yin belongs to Wood and is the First Month of Spring; in the Renyin year, Water Movement arrives. Si belongs to Fire and is the First Month of Summer; in the Guisi year, Fire Movement arrives. There are four such years in sixty years. The rest are deduced similarly.
The rhyme recording movements in the sixty-year cycle states: When Movement overcomes Qi, it is Disaccord; when Qi generates Movement, it is named Shun Hua (Smooth Transformation); when Movement is overcome by Qi, it is mostly Tian Xing (Heavenly Punishment); Xiao Ni (Minor Rebellion) appears when Movement generates Qi; when Qi and Movement combine, it is Tian Fu (Heavenly Token).
When the Yearly Movement coincides with the Heavenly Stem of the Jiao Si Ri (Day of Transition/Solstice-Start), it is called "Gan De Fu" (Stem Virtue Token), such as Jia combining with Ji, Yi with Geng, etc. If one year encounters these two stem combinations, the Heaven and Earth virtues harmonize, also constituting a Ping Qi (Balanced Qi) year.
The Five Movements and Six Qi rub against and agitate each other, adding above and descending below. The records of the sixty-year cycle cannot be perfectly uniform.
There are five types of Excessive Movements: Wood is called Fa Sheng (Initiating Growth), Fire is called He Xi (Blazing Heat), Earth is called Dun Fu (Mounded High), Metal is called Jian Cheng (Firm Completion), and Water is called Liu Yan (Overflowing Flow).
There are five types of Deficient Movements: Wood is called Wei He (Withered Harmony), Fire is called Fu Ming (Hidden Brightness), Earth is called Bei Jian (Low Supervision), Metal is called Cong Ge (Following Change), and Water is called He Liu (Dried Stream).
There are five types of Balanced Movements: Wood is called Fu He (Spreading Harmony), Fire is called Sheng Ming (Ascending Brightness), Earth is called Bei Hua (Complete Transformation), Metal is called Shen Ping (Judging Peace), and Water is called Jing Shun (Quiet Obedience).
Excess leads to bullying what one can overcome and insulting what one cannot overcome; insulted, one suffers evil, due to a lack of fear/reverence. Deficiency allows those who overcome oneself to bully, and the Child must avenge the Mother.
