Lucky Star and Noble Patron

Original Text

乃甲人见丙寅、丙子，乙人见丁亥、丁丑，遁得本旬中真食神，主享受自然，遇者非贵亦富，馀倒推。前人作《甲丙相邀入虎乡歌》，是以年论，故有丙寅、丙子，若以日遁则非。

Interpretation

When a person with the Heavenly Stem of Jia encounters Bingyin or Bingzi, and a person with the Heavenly Stem of Yi encounters Dinghai or Dingchou, and the true "Direct Eater" (a term in traditional Chinese fortune - telling) is derived within the current ten - day cycle. It indicates that the person will enjoy things naturally. Those who have such a situation are either noble or wealthy, and the rest can be deduced in reverse. The predecessors composed the "Song of Jia and Bing Inviting Each Other into the Tiger's Domain", which was based on the year. That's why there are Bingyin and Bingzi. If it is deduced according to the day, it is not applicable.
