How can a novice quickly remember the locations of the Ten Gods?
How to distinguish the ten gods quickly?
First group them by relationship function, and then take a closer look at the differences between each of the ten gods. This article will further bring the concept back to structure, judgment and real-life scenarios.
Group by function first
The fastest way to memorize the ten gods is not to memorize the words, but to divide them into functions first. First divide it into five categories: "similarity, output, resources, rules, support", and then split it down.
Use a small table to remember the differences
- ·Bi Jie: similar, self, boundary.
- ·Food injury: output, expression, creation.
- ·Finance: resources, exchange, management.
- ·Official killing: rules, pressure, goals.
- ·Seal: support, absorb, learn.
Don't memorize names
As long as you distinguish the functions, the names will naturally be posted. When memorizing, look at the function, and when judging, go back to the structure, and you will be much more stable.
Remember the five groups first, then the positive and negative
It seems that there are ten gods, but it is actually much simpler to divide them into five groups first: similar, output, resources, rules, and support. Divide each group into positive and negative groups, and your understanding will be more stable. Positive bias is not good or bad, but different ways of expression.
Use questions to remember the ten gods
Bi Jie asked "How do I get along with others of my kind", Shi Shang asked "How do I express and produce", Cai asked "How do I handle resources", Guan Sha asked "How do I face the pressure of rules", and Yin asked "How do I absorb and be supported". These questions are more useful than memorizing names.
Distinguishing quickly does not mean deciding things quickly
Being able to recognize the Ten Gods is only the first step. The real judgment also depends on position, strength, combination and time. Ten God Shorthand is for not getting lost, not for jumping to conclusions immediately.
The shorthand of the Ten Gods is best matched with the chart examples
Memorizing categories will make you forget them quickly. Memorizing them with real examples or simulated sentences will help you remember them more firmly. For example, when you see a fortune star, practice asking "Is this talking about resources, management, or relationship exchange?"; when you see an official killing, ask "Is this about rules, pressure, or goal requirements?" In this way, the ten gods will become happy very quickly.
Separate fast reading and slow reading
Shorthand is quick reading, judgment is slow reading. Reading quickly will help you avoid getting lost, while reading slowly will help you avoid making mistakes. If you separate these two steps, learning will be much easier, and it won't be confusing because there are too many gods.
Ten Gods Shorthand To Serve Judgment Path
The purpose of quickly distinguishing the ten gods is to know what to ask next. When you see wealth, ask about resources; when you see official killings, ask about rules and pressure; when you see seals, ask about support for learning; when you see food injuries, ask about output expression; when you see comparisons and calamities, ask about the boundaries of similar types.
Don’t put the positive and negative into a realistic tone
What is right is not good or bad. Positive wealth favors stable resources, while partial wealth favors flow of opportunities; positive officials favor order, Seven Kills favors strong pressure; positive seal favors stable support, and partial seal favors special understanding. The tone is different, and the actual route is different.
You must look at the position after taking shorthand
The same ten gods have different meanings in the moon pillar, sun branch and hour pillar. It is not enough to be able to quickly identify the ten gods. We also need to see where they are, whether they have roots, and whether they are attracted. Shorthand is just the entrance.
Ten Gods should be written as character relationships
The Ten Gods are not static labels, but role relationships. Is it dominant, auxiliary, pressure, outlet, or resource entrance in the chart? Does it inherit, consume, constrain, support, or transform between it and the Japanese Master? As long as the relationship between the characters is clearly written, the Ten Gods article will not stop at the cheat sheet.
The same ten gods depend on the theme transposition
When the same ten gods are placed in career, relationships, wealth, and family, the actual performance will change. Money is a resource in wealth, but it may be exchange and object access in relationships; officialdom is a regular position in career, but it may be responsibility and pressure in relationships. Only when the topic is clearly written in different places can the article be in-depth.
Shorthand is not about memorizing nouns
The purpose of Ten God Shorthand is to shorten the judgment path, not to memorize the concepts. When you see wealth, ask about resources; when you see official killings, ask about rules and pressure; when you see seals, ask about support and absorption; when you see food injuries, ask about output and expression. Written like this, it is not a noun explanation.
Positive deviations should not fall into the scene
What is right is not good or bad. Positive wealth favors stable resources, partial wealth favors fluid opportunities; positive officials favor order, Qisha favors high pressure; positive seal favors stable support, and partial seal favors special understanding. As soon as the scene changes, the functions will change faces.
Position is more important than label
The same ten gods, placed on the moon stem, day branch, and hour stem, have completely different meanings. The shorthand is just the entrance, the real difference is where it is, whether it has roots, and whether it is triggered. If you only memorize labels, your judgment will be shallow.
