Original author’s interpretation summary

The author considers Qian’s selected Descendants line void. Using Yilin Buyi’s own Qian–Kun interchange method, Hai Water Descendants is taken from Kun and hidden beneath Shen Metal; the visible line generating the hidden line is interpreted as continued support. This differs from the site’s missing-category hidden-line method and must be presented separately as the source’s account.

Outcome reported in the book

The text records improvement on Jia-Zi. This is the author’s medical-related retrospective report, without independent medical records or historical evidence for site verification.

Site review boundaries

  1. Qian is static, with six young-yang lines. The site can check its pattern and Zi–Chou void for Ren-Xu.
  2. The source uses yin–yang interchange with hidden and visible counterparts at every line. Production charts do not rewrite hidden-line positions using it or portray the two systems as identical.
  3. This childhood illness case is historical text review only, not modern diagnosis, treatment, prognosis or guidance on when to seek care.

Reading boundaries

Reported outcomes represent the original author’s account, not independent historical verification. This case is not an automatic interpretation template for a user’s present result.

Topic tags identify structures involved in this case, not divinatory efficacy verified by the site.

Working translation of the site’s Chinese editorial case review, not a translation of the classical source. Native-language review is pending; original source names and locators remain in Chinese.

Hidden lines

Limited implementation

The site follows Bushi Zhengzong: search for a hidden line only when a Six Relations category is entirely absent from the original hexagram, taking the matching position in the pure hexagram of its palace. Yilin Buyi instead uses a yin–yang interchange system in which every line has hidden and visible counterparts; that is a separate method.

The adopted convention must be stated. The two systems’ hidden-line positions must not be combined, and their generating or controlling relations do not automatically produce fortune judgments.

Ten-day-cycle void

Structural implementation

The day’s ten-day cycle determines two void branches. Both works discuss further conditions involving phase strength, changing or unchanging lines, and clashes that fill the void. This site calculates only the day pillar’s cycle and void branches and lists the relevant line positions; it does not apply subsequent judgments such as being void yet not void.

Cycle void is a calendrical structure, not a statement that an undertaking is ineffective. It does not automatically determine outcomes or timing.
