八门简介

人世间的万事万物的运动与发展变化，受着空间方位的直接影响，于是就按各种方位与事物之间的联系与不同的特性，把空间分为八个方向，称作“八门”。

Everything including the development and changes in the world, is affected by the direct impact of spatial orientation, and so using the directional relationship between things with different characteristics, the space is divided into eight directions, referred to as the "8 Doors".

八门就是休门、生门、伤门、杜门、景门、死门、惊门、开门，在奇门盘中所占为人盘。

The 8 Doors are Xiu Men, Sheng Men, Shang Men, Du Men, Si Men, Qing Men, Kai Men, which represent human matters in Qi Men Chart.

休门五行属水，生门、死门五行属土，伤门、杜门五行属木，景门五行属火，惊门、开门属金。

Xiu Men as water, Sheng Men, Si Men as earth, Shang Men, Du Men as wood, Jing Men as fire, Qing Men, Kai Men as metal.

八门在奇门盘静止时位置是固定的，休门在坎一宫，生门在艮八宫，伤门在震三宫，杜门在巽四宫，景门在离九宫，死门在坤二宫，惊门在兑七宫，开门在乾六宫，中五宫无门。

古人有歌曰：

吉门被克吉不就，凶门被克凶不起；

吉门相生有大利，凶门得生祸难避。

吉门克宫吉不就，凶门克宫事更凶。

Ancient saying:

Auspicious Door when ke no more auspicious, inauspicious Door when ke, no more inauspicious;

Auspicious Door being birth is especially fortunate, inauspicious Door being birth can’t avoid disaster;

Auspicious Door ke palace no more auspicious, inauspicious Door ke palace no more inauspicious.

八门在奇门遁甲天、地、人格局中代表人事，所以在奇门预测中极为重要，特别是用神所临之门，

 8 Door in QiMen DunJia, “heaven, earth, human” chart represents human matters which is a very important consideration. Especially the Door where the Yong Shen is located.

以及值使门即值班的门，与所测之人、事物关系很大。

The Door in relation to the God in charge, is closely related to human matters.

古人有八门执事歌一首，概括了八门所主的主要事项：

Ancient sages developed a poem for the 8 Doors, to illustrate the key points of the 8 Doors:

欲求财利往生方，葬猎须知死路强。

征战远行开门吉，休门见贵最为良。

惊门官讼是非多，杜门无事好逃藏。

伤门搏斗能捉贼，景门饮酒好思量。

When seeking for Wealth, go towards the Sheng Men (Life Door) Direction,

Burying and hunting must know that the Si Men (Death Door) road is strong.

Qing Men (Fear Door) indicates litigation and quarrels,

Du Men (Hide Door) good for escape/hiding.

Shang Men (Harm Door) specialize in fighting and good in catching thieves,

Jing Men (Scene Door) is good for reconsideration while having a drink.

这就是说，不论别人还是自己，如果问求财之事，起出奇门格局后，看生门落在哪个宫内，该宫所在方向就是作生意求财的方向；

Whether checking self or others, when the question is regarding wealth, after the chart is determined, identify the location of Sheng Men. The palace where Seng Men is located is the direction for checking business and wealth.

要问丧葬和打猎，则死门落宫方向就是最有利的方向。

For funeral/burial and hunting, the direction/palace where Si Men is located is the most suitable.

如果要行军打仗、出门远行、则开门落宫方向最吉；

For army deployment, travelling far distant, the direction/palace where Kai Men is located is the most auspicious.

如果要拜见贵人和上级领导，以休门落宫方向最佳。

For seeking audience with nobleman or leader, the direction/palace where Xiu Men is located is the most wonderful.

惊门落宫方向一般官讼是非多。

Where Qing Men is located, it indicates quarrel and litigation.

杜门落宫是躲灾避难最好的方向。

Where Du Men is located, it is the best place to hide from disaster.

伤门落宫的方向适宜搏斗、讨债、捉贼。

Where Shang Men is located, it is most suitable for fighting, demanding payment, catching thief.

如果要饮酒聚会，商议谋划，最好到景门落宫的方向。

For parties/gathering, preparing proposal, the best is where Jing Men is located.

八门在五行上各有怕属，开、休、生为三吉门，死、惊、伤为三凶门，杜门、景门中平，预测时常以它们落宫状况，即与所落之宫的五行生克和旺相休囚来定吉凶、断应期。

Eight Door are categorized as auspicious Door (Kai, Xiu, Sheng), inauspicious Door (Si, Qing, Shang), balanced Door (Du, Jing). Depending on the location, the interaction with the 5 elements, the strength/weaknesses, to determine the auspiciousness. For further interpretation.

古人把门克宫称为“迫”，叫“门被迫”，

Ancient sages termed Door ke/control palace as “being forced”, termed as “Door being forced”

而且有歌说：“吉门被迫吉不就，凶门被迫事更凶。实际就是说，吉门克宫，吉事不就，凶门克宫，事情更凶。

Old saying : “Auspicious Door being forced is unable to express its auspiciousness. Auspicious Door ke/control palace, no more auspicious, inauspicious Door ke/control palace, no more inauspicious.”

又把宫克门叫做“制”，实际上是门受宫克，

Also for palace ke Door termed as “control”, which is Door being ke/control by palace.

“吉门受克吉不就，凶门受克凶不起”，

“Auspicious Door being ke/control, not auspicious, inauspicious Door being ke/control, not inauspicious.

吉门受到地盘的制约，吉事不成,

Auspicious Door being ke/control by earth plate, no more auspicious,

凶门受到地盘宫的制约，凶事就闹不起来了。

Inauspicious Door being ke/control by earth plate, no more inauspicious,

古人又把门生宫称作“和”，宫生门称作“义”。

Ancient sages also termed Door birth palace as “unity”, palace birth Door as “righteous”.

门宫相生，对于吉门来说自然为好，等于好上加好；

Door and palace birthing each other, for auspicious Door, it is adding good to good;

但是对于凶门来说，如果受生，更加旺相，那就凶上加凶了。

But for inauspicious Door, when being birth, it becomes stronger, making it worst.

所以，不能一般认为，相生就好，相克就不好，必须具体情况具体分析，而且还要根据季节论其旺相休囚。

So it is not as simple as saying birth is good, ke/control is not good. It must be analysed with reference to its quality, also must take into consideration its strength and weakness according to the season.

至于八门所代表的事物，可参照它们所对应的八卦万物类象。

Whatever represented by Eight Doors, can be reflected and represented in the bagua and all objects representation.
