Ten God - Eating God

 
食神 

十神心性

心性               Temperament

为人聪明精细,但较含蓄,不象伤官格的人锋芒毕露,禀性温和多情,气质清高,较有长远计划。
Smart and intelligent, but reserved, unlike hurting officer showing off personality, moderate natural disposition and romantic, noble temperament, possesses long term planning capabilities.

但理想过高,有时喜欢胡思乱想,与现实脱节,做事有耐心但时感疲劳,易患神经衰弱。
Idealist, likes to dream, unrealistic, can focus on work but tire easily, weak psychologically.

喜无拘无束,好美食,但不挑食。
Likes to be free, loves food but not fussy about food.
食神心性, 温文随和, 带人宽厚, 善良体贴, 但易流于虚伪, 缺乏是非, 反为迂腐懦弱.
Eating God personality, moderate and easy-going/amiable, generous and tolerant, but can also be hypocritical, inability to differentiate between right or wrong, could even be pedantic and cowardly.


十神与性格

性格               Personality

食神表示长寿之星、吃穿、衣禄、头脑、思想 、投资、子女、是忠孝的标志。
Eating God represent longitivity star, food and clothing, brain, imagination, investment, children, symbolize filial piety.

其性格:为人宽宏大量、优游自主、多福多寿、心宽体胖,精神健旺不喜与人争,为人厚道,讲道德。
Personality: generous, independent and carefree, fortunate and long life, easy going, sharp and doesn’t like to compete with others, sincere, kind and honest, ethical.

有君子之风。富有审美及艺术欣赏力。

食神的作用是身旺可泄身生财,
身弱可制官杀与之抗衡。
The use of EG when self is strong is to diminish self to grow wealth.
When self is weak can control Officer and 7K protecting the self.

无官杀,食又太过贱命一条,头脑迟顿,口语不清,甚至痴呆、傻子,极易上当受骗。
When there are no Officer and 7K, too many EG makes the chart a low grade chart, slow in thinking, not clear in speech, even becoming imbecile or idiot, easy to be tricked.

如身旺,食神见官杀两失其用,导致身旺无泄。与伤官见官同论。
When self is strong, EG meeting Officer and 7K can make full use of the two, causing the strong self to be balance similar analogy to HO meeting Officer.

命带食神大多都为好命,1、可泄旺身、2、可制官杀。
Chart with EG is considered a noble chart.
1.                             To balance a strong chart.
2.                             To control Officer and 7K.

故食神被称做福将,长寿之星。
The reason why EG is considered a fortunate star, star of longitivity.

十神闡微 -杨逸云

含义               Implied Meaning

(一)食神的精神性含义

Psychological Implied Meaning

食伤同为泄秀,二者之含义略有不同,
伤官偏于激情,进取。
食神偏于平淡、知足。
EG and HO are both weakening cycle, but the Implied meaning are differently,
HO are passionate and forward seeking,
EG are ordinary and satisfied.

伤官人注重结果,食神人注重参与(即过程)。食多为伤。
HO people gives importance to result-outcome, EG place importance on participation. Too many EG becomes HO.

食神心态:
EG mentality;
爱表现但不在乎自己的表现,参与但不计较名次;
Likes to perform but not particular about it, only likes to participate;
表演但没有出风头的意味;付与但不计较自己的付与,有爱心;
Perform but not to show off, gives but do not ask for return, a loving and caring person;
有无执恋的投注力
Invest without worrying about the returns;
能无心机地关怀人类、小动物、常能悠然见南山物我两忘
Care for people, animal with no ulterior motives, doesn’t place importance about materialistic things.

因为食神可以克七杀,而七杀为暴躁、专制、意志、严苛,故食神为不喜独裁,不喜严苛,悠游自然,不喜自己强迫做某事,含蓄、正统、传统、守德;八字中食神太多则好幻想,重感情,易钻牛角尖。
EG can control 7K, 7K represent violent, dictator, determination, harsh nature, but EG doesn’t like to dictate, doesn’t not have a harsh nature, prefers to be free, doesn’t like to be force to do things, embody the correct way, conventional and virtuous.

同样的,食神也有广大的意识流动,也有很好的语言流畅力,更有很好的欣赏性及艺术表达性。
Similarly, EG also implied big movement, good oratory skill, appreciative, expressive and artistic nature.

食神所表示的人、事、物为:
Representation of EG : people, matters, subject:
说话运动、旅游、著作、跳舞
Communication skill, athletic, swimming, literary skill, dancing.
(以上几项虽与伤官类似,但不同的是伤官具有执着、变化、生动、新奇、时髦的色彩,但食神却只具有流畅,平淡,纯实的特性),

渊海子平

YHZP - Eating God 《论食神》kung


食神者,生我财神之谓也。
Eating God, the one who produce the Wealth god.
如甲属木,丙属火,名盗气,故谓之食神,何也?
Example for Jia which represent wood, Bing which represent fire, named Qi robber, considered Eating God, why?
殊不知丙能生我戊土,甲食丙生戊财,故以此名之也。
Bing produce Wu earth, Jia Eating God Bing produce Wu Wealth, the way the name is derived.
命中带此者,主人财厚食丰、腹量宽宏、肌体肥大、化游自足、有子息,有寿考。
For chart with EG, the DM abundant Wealth and luxuriant food, stomach filled to capacity, fat, travel to one’s satisfaction, children blessing, long life.

恒不喜见官星,忌倒食,恐伤其食神。
Dislike Officer star, jealous of Indirect Resource, afraid damage to the Eating God.
喜财神相生,独一位见之,此为福人,然终亦不清。
Likes to have Wealth god to produce, meeting one alone, considered a fortunate person, or the end is unclear.
却喜身旺,不喜印绶,亦恐伤其食神也。
Likes to be strong, dislike resource, afraid damage to the Eating God.
如运得地,方可发福,大概与财神相似。
If the luck obtain the ground, can obtain fortune, approximately similar to Wealth god.

己未、己巳、丁未、辛丑。
丁见己为食神,有一丑巳合起金局,得之为财,又喜身不弱,所以有官亦有寿也。
Example
...Ji......Ji...Din....Xin
..Wei...Si...Wei...Chou
For Ding DM Ji earth represent EG, with one Chou Si combined to metal, obtaining it represent Wealth, like the self to be not weak, so with Officer also represent long life.

乙巳、乙酉、癸酉、乙卯。
此命三见乙为食,见巳酉丑合金局为印绶,又有三乙化为伤官,癸用乙为食神,被金局来克乙木,再被三乙并卯旺克我官,所以名利都无成也。
Example
..Yi..YiGuiYi
..Si…You…You…Mao
This chart has 3 Yi wood which represent EG, with Si You Chou metal formation as the resource, further with 3 Yi changed to Hurting Officer, Gui DM uses Yi as Eaying God, the Yi wood control/ke by the metal formation, further with the 3 Yi supported by the Mao to become strong to control/ke back the Officer, therefore it represent failure in both fame and fortune.


论食神

喜:身旺 宜行财乡 逢食看财     
忌:身弱 比肩                                          
一名进神 二名爵星 三名寿星
食神者,日干所生顺数第三位,乃甲食丙、乙食丁之例
甲生丙本为泄气,丙生戊为甲偏财,偏财是天禄自然之财,不劳己之心力,享现成福禄
甲丙有父子之道,如子旺相,生起财禄以奉其父母,岂不安享
又甲见庚为杀,见戊为财,其食神丙火能制伏庚杀,使不得克伤甲木,能生戊财,使为甲木所用
凡命遇财杀之地,食神旺相,杀被食制,不敢为祸,财被食生,充裕不竭
故食神一名寿星,一名爵星,良有以也
此格要日主、食神俱生旺无冲破,主人财厚食丰,福量宽弘,肥体肥大,优游自足
有子息,有寿考
四柱见财食在岁月上,祖父荫业丰隆,在日时,妻男获福
怕母子俱衰绝,两皆无成
故经云食神宜食生食旺,不可食衰食绝
又云食神生旺,胜似财官是也
又曰:食神大忌偏印为倒食,主为人有始无终,容貌欹邪,身材琐小,心性局促,多愁无成。假如甲见丙为食,柱中有壬作甲木偏印,克制丙火不能生戊土,不能制庚金,使甲木受制退财,岂不窘乎?
元理赋》云食神制杀逢枭,不贫则夭
一行》云五行休废,遇奇救,灾祸必轻。四柱消息值平和,福德增重。若逢倒食之神,决主财多耗散是也
又曰:阳日食神,暗合官星;阴日食神,暗合正印。官印不要明显,但得食神纯粹,主贵而有禄,富而有寿。食神只宜一位,不宜太多,恐窃本元之气。
经云一木迭逢火位,名为散气之文
是也。食神多者,宜行印运;食少者不宜,是枭神夺食
故食喜旺禄相助,月令建禄最佳,时禄次之
更逢贵人运行食神生旺之地,大发福禄
忌身衰枭旺,柱中虽喜见财,亦不宜多,多则不清,不过一富翁而已
食神重见,变为伤官,令人少子,纵有或带破拗性
又不可入墓,即是伤官入墓,住寿难延
大忌空亡,更有官杀显露,为太医、师巫、术数九流之士
若食神逢克,又遇空亡,则不贵
再行死绝或枭运,则因食上气上生灾,翻胃噎食,缺衣食忍饥寒而已
又曰甲日食丙,柱中无壬癸亥子方好
如有水气,丙自受制,屈伏于人,己身不能卓立,岂能生物以养其父
如无此制,又要生旺向禄
如丙生夏月,运历东南,火土俱旺,其甲用财必厚
若生三春甲旺,丙火虽得生,不知戊己气薄,须历南方火土俱旺,方许发福。又如庚以壬为食,运历北方水旺之地,发财必厚,东方木旺之乡,发福必紧。
细论之,庚以壬为食,长生于申,当断申地福重,暴败在酉,壬水至酉便不为佳。以壬生甲木为庚之财,即自生分发身之财,非婚配正妻之财。甲至酉地为木困金乡,壬水自败,木岂能助养其父?
当断此运平平。行至戌运,如干遇壬甲,亦只断其半吉半凶
逢戊可断其有灾,见庚可断其微福,亥运当言其大吉。子运癸水伤官,伤重泄本身之气,又庚死于子,甲败于子,当断生祸身灾
运至丑,庚金之库,水旺之乡,又有己丑助庚甲,冠带成人之地,可断此十年发。寅运亦吉,卯运有灾,余例此推
又曰食神忌枭,亦有不畏者
如己亥不畏丁倒食,丁与壬合化木,而壬禄在亥
丙午不畏甲倒食,甲与己合化土,而己禄在午
乙巳不畏癸倒食,戊癸化火,乙巳亦火
癸巳不畏辛倒食,丙辛化水,癸贵在巳
庚为众阳之首,不畏戊倒食,戊,阳气归源之数,见戊作喜神论
已不倒食辛,阴气初发散之源
庚不倒食壬,阳气初发散之源
辛有丁,不畏己倒食,为丁养育辛金也,况有丁处便有己土,阴阳干涉,得清福之助。故六辛人切要丁,但从寅遁至
辛人本禄位,方知用丁为禄。更月是金家,己土火里长生,故知要火为文贵
金无父母,借火处有父母之气故也
或问十干以隔一位为食神,何也
希尹曰:甲己化土,故食丙辛
丙辛化水,故食戊癸
戊癸化火,故食庚乙
庚乙化金,故食壬丁
壬丁化木,故食甲己
化气相克而食
食神者,十干福禄之会
君子得之,显达丰赡
小人得之,周旋给足
在福聚之地则官崇禄厚,在祸聚之地则职卑命薄
如以甲子论,食丙子为福星之贵,食丙寅为长生之禄,又为禄马同乡,食神学堂之贵
丙辰为正印,丙午为自刑破命,丙申为克身破禄,丙戌为身衰破空亡,余干例推
若遇生旺、库、印、天乙、天官、华盖、文星、学堂、官印、禄马之类,为福聚之地,遇克破、空亡、恶杀、刑害、休败、死绝,为祸聚之地。若有华盖、正印,虽少增培。
无学堂、驿马,虽多减半
清贵之家,骄奢之族,以是别之
又曰:甲乙食丙丁,加寅卯巳午之上
丙丁食戊己,加辰戌丑未之上
戊己食庚辛,加巳午申酉之上
庚辛食壬癸,加申酉亥子之上
壬癸食甲乙,加亥子寅卯之上,谓之食神见生旺,更带禄马旺相
文为两制、两省,武为建节、防团
无,亦主财帛丰厚。食神与禄全见,四柱顺当为妙
《指迷赋》云:食神一处,当用一代三;若遇休闲,三重不逮于一。食分三二,财如落叶秋风。枭遇一重,福似朝菌暮落。食神若遇空闲,大抵难逃憔悴。
理愚歌》云子返哺时逢子建,更值贵人喜相见。建官又在贵人乡,凤阁鸾台历化选
反哺者,年、月、日、时,皆自下食上,见天乙官印吉杀,主贵
壶中子》云食神嫌倒,争啜争哺,忽并临之,乏浆乏乳。有余则食前方丈,不足则箪食豆羹
又云犯倒食在命,多被人挠;重叠带者,在幼儿则言乏乳,在老人则言缺食。正食而有余者富贵,争食而不足者贫贱
有余如甲人得两丙三丙,不足如柱中两甲止有一丙之类
又曰凡生时干倒食年干者,日吞,主克子。日时俱食,主头面带破,并克母。死后无子送终
若吞中逢吞,如甲人见壬日,时又逢庚字,主贫死沟壑,有干合解则缓
独步》云食神生旺,胜似财官浊之则贱,清之则烜。重则不足,拟作伤官。泄气无用,分详多端。
《相心赋》云:食神善能饮食,体厚而好讴歌。
《口诀》云:食神带旺贤。
《奥旨赋》云:月令值食身健旺,善饮食姿质丰肥。四柱有吉曜相扶,堆金积玉,声名显著。
又云:食神旺处动财多,更逢偏印克食神,非寿天须知乞化。
《幽微赋》云:食神旺相,老寿弥高。
《元理赋》云:食居前,杀居后,功名显达。
《宝鉴赋》云:月露食神时露官,荣显乌台助国臣。
《秘诀》云:食神一位,胜似财官。戊日庚时,不宜火旺。
《三车》云:食神怕食耗食空,最喜食库食禄。
《心镜》云:寿星合处得其真,此说不虚陈。一座食神身坐官,三监九卿看。
《万祺赋》云:食神名为吉曜,制杀号称寿星。干强食旺富贵之士,食旺身衰蹭蹬之人。逢财旺则食前方丈,遇印绶则甑底生尘。见一位者锺铭鼎鼐,二三位者陋巷箪瓢。羊刃重临,平生劳碌。刑克相会,一世奔波。
古歌云:食神制杀吉非常,财旺妻荣子更强。柱中若要吞啖杀,管教金殿佐君王。
又:食神逢禄号天厨,冲克空亡官杀无。死绝运临偏印地,寿星合处福交孚。
又:食神食退好烟霞,食马心驰别立家。或食贵人并食禄,名高爵重福无涯。
又:食神印绶不宜逢,惟见财官福更隆。食神喜行身旺地,逢枭逢比总成空。
又:食神生旺最堪夸,惟行水木土金佳。官杀更无来混杂,平生衣禄足荣华。
又:食神居先杀居后,衣禄平生福最厚。杀近食神却有殃,终日尘寰漫奔走。
又:寿元合起最为奇,七杀何忧在岁时。禁凶制暴干头旺,此是人间富贵儿。
又:甲人见丙本盗气,丙去生财号食神。心广体胖衣禄厚,若临偏印主孤贫。
又:食神有气胜财官,先要他强旺本干。若也反伤夺来食,忙忙辛苦祸千般
又:食神生旺无刑克,命逢此格胜财官。更得身旺逢财地,青春年少步金銮
又:食神无损寿绵长,庶母逢之不可当。若无偏财来救护,命如秋草带冬霜
又:食神月上号天厨,人命逢之富有余。切忌枭来明减福,最嫌冲去暗消除
生财化鬼兼无病,制杀为祥信有储。士子如逢科甲第,官封要职领天书
合诸说,观食神喜忌尽矣

When there are no Officer and 7K, too many EG makes the chart a low grade chart, slow in thinking, not clear in speech, even becoming imbecile or idiot, easy to be tricked.

What if 7k and officer are rather weak in chart? Because of season ? Ex: Ren. Ding DM. Xin. Zi
Zi. Wei. Wei. Zi
