Luzhong Huo (Furnace Fire)
It comes from the "San Ming Hui Tong Lun", a method of fortune-telling. Luzhong Huo is one type of destiny in the Five Elements system. In the sixty Jiazi cycle, it corresponds to Bing Yin day and Ding Mao day. The Sixty Jiazi is the oldest way of recording years, and this system was summarized based on long-term life experiences, discovering that people born in this year share common situations. The Sixty Jiazi existed during the Xia Dynasty, and many oracle bone inscriptions found have characters such as "Wu Wu". During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the various schools of thought emerged, and among them, the Yin-Yang School focused on the study of Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Feng Shui. Due to the burning of books and burying of scholars in the Qin Dynasty and the later suppression of all schools except Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, the peasant group of the Five-Dou Rice Sect rose to the historical stage, replacing the Yin-Yang teachings. It took Laozi as its ancestor, and most of the original Yin-Yang teachings declined, mainly during the Han and Tang Dynasties with scholars going to Japan. This is why Taoism has the custom of respecting the elderly, which is to search for the research results left by the original Yin-Yang teachings. Now, many popular novels like "The Lost Tomb" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" describe numerous scenes of seeking ancient treasures and secret arts, which reflect the research achievements of the scholars of the Yin-Yang teachings. Many movies and novels depicting Japanese "Onmyoji" actually originated from China, as they share similar talismans, seals, divine arts, and spirit animals.
General Discussion on Bing Yin and Ding Mao — Furnace Fire
Bing Yin and Ding Mao represent the gradual emergence of fire energy. Because of the fuel (Yin and Mao), the fire becomes visible, hence called "Furnace Fire." Furnace Fire is a fierce flame in a furnace. As the saying goes, "Heaven and Earth are the furnace, and Yin and Yang are the charcoal," representing the brilliance of the universe's creation and the transformation of the cosmos.
Furnace Fire has an upward nature, favoring wood to support it. The best wood is "Ping Di Mu" (Flat Land Wood). When Bing Yin meets Ji Hai, it is called "Tianyi Gui Ren" (Celestial Benefactor), and when it meets Wu Xu, it is called "Gui Ku" (Returning to the Storehouse), which is auspicious. Ding Mao is slightly less favorable. Since Bing Yin is in the position of the beginning of fire, there is no problem even without wood, but Ding Mao is in the position of "Mu Shen" (Bath), and if there is no wood, it would be unfavorable. Furthermore, this fire relies on metal as a resource; only with metal can it fulfill the mystery of creation. If Ding Mao lacks wood and encounters metal, it leads to a hard life.
If Yin meets wood, it easily produces more fire. If the fire is too strong without water to control it, it leads to early death. However, if Mao meets three or four types of wood, it is not a problem. For example, Geng Yin and Xin Mao (Pine and Cypress Wood) are in the same position (second position) and generate mutual support. If it meets Ren Wu and Gui Wei (Willow Tree Wood), it becomes true fire. In such cases, Yin meeting more wood leads to a violent or fatal illness. If the configuration already has water to control it, it leads to a medium lifespan, while Ding Mao encountering fire is not a problem.
Furnace Fire favors obtaining metal as a resource. Among these, Jianfeng Jin (Sword-Edge Gold) is acceptable when Yin wood is present, but since Ding Mao fire is in a weak position, and then reaches the death and extinction places of Shen and You, how can it overcome metal? Therefore, encountering metal leads to poverty or early death. Sea Gold, Sand Gold, and White Wax Gold require wood to support the fire before they are preferred. Qiajuan Jin (Hairpin Gold) and Jinbo Jin (Gold Leaf) are useless. If it encounters earth, it must first have metal and wood, allowing earth to serve as a resting place for the fire, preventing it from becoming overly dry. For example, Chengtou Tu (City Wall Earth), Wushang Tu (Roof Earth), and Bishang Tu (Wall Earth) are all mature forms of earth.
If it encounters water, it depends on whether there is wood. Otherwise, fire loves to meet it. Among them, Tianhe Shui (Heavenly River Water) is auspicious for Bing Yin, but if Mao does not encounter wood, it is worse. Bing Yin meeting Dahuishui (Sea Water) Ren Xiu is a storehouse of blessings, and meeting Gui Hai is an official star, as it is combined and half auspicious and half inauspicious. Well Water, Stream Water, Large Stream Water, and Long Flowing Water are all harmful, but if there is wood, they are not considered harmful. When fire encounters the same type, if the day or month pillar is in a declining state, it is auspicious. Encountering Lei Li Huo (Thunder Fire) originally has no benefit, but if there is wood to support it, and the day and time pillars have Dahuishui (Sea Water), it becomes beneficial. If there is no wood and it encounters water, it is inauspicious. When encountering Tianshang Huo (Heavenly Fire), it needs Wushang Tu (Roof Earth) to shield it. Fu Deng Huo (Candlelight Fire) is located at Chen and Si, which is the position of the Xun Wind, and can help the fire grow stronger.
Bing Yin is called "He Xi Zhi Huo" (Bright Sun Fire). Without water to control it, it becomes excessively hot, but water cannot be excessive. The most preferred is Jia Yin Da Xi Shui (Big Stream Water), because it is in the same position and complements each other, also known as "Chao Yuan Lu" (Reunion Blessing). Bing Yin fire contains the essence of clarity, brightness, harmony, and purity. The four birth places of fire have the virtue of continuous creation. Entering a noble configuration brings literary brilliance and the ability to achieve academic success. Ding Mao is "Fu Ming Zhi Huo" (Hidden Bright Fire). Its fire is weak and prefers wood to support it. Meeting water is harmful, especially with Yi Mao (Same Position) and Yi You (Opposite Position) water being the most toxic. Bing Yin fire is a furnace coal, favoring winter and wood. Ding Mao fire is furnace smoke, favoring the Xun direction and autumn and winter.
Meaning
Bing Yin is a fierce furnace coal fire. It likes winter. As it is a fierce and bright fire, it requires wood to assist, so it prefers Ji Hai and Wu Xu wood, which bring auspiciousness. If the fire is too strong and water is used to control it, it may lead to a fire disaster. Therefore, it also prefers Jia Yin (Big Stream Water) to balance it; otherwise, it may lead to early death. Entering a noble configuration represents literary brilliance and the ability to pass exams and gain titles. Ding Mao is the hidden bright fire in the furnace. It likes autumn and winter. Ding Mao fire itself is weak, and if there is no wood to support it, it is dangerous. If it meets water, it becomes even worse, especially with Yi Mao and Yi You water being particularly harmful. It cannot overcome metal by itself. Without wood support and encountering metal, it leads to a laborious life. Only with Wu Yin, Ji Mao Chengtou Tu, Geng Zi, Xin Chou Wubitu (Wall Earth) can it become useful.
Tao Zongyi said: "Bing Yin and Ding Mao Furnace Fire: Yin is the third yang, and Mao is the fourth yang. The fire gains its place and is supported by Yin and Mao wood, at this time the天地 opens the furnace and all things begin to emerge, hence called Furnace Fire." Yin is the birthplace of fire, and Yin and Mao both lie in the east, where the fire gradually emerges. Furnace Fire relies on fuel to display its intensity, using the天地 as the furnace and Yin-Yang as the charcoal to create and transform all things. Furnace Fire uses the天地 as the furnace and Yin-Yang as the charcoal to illuminate the universe and shine through the cosmos, transforming all things. Both Bing Yin and Ding Mao belong to Furnace Fire, but the fire in the furnace is not instantly ignited; it must start with small flames and gradually add wood to increase the temperature, allowing the fire to gradually develop its function.
The people of Furnace Fire are like their personality: steady, confident, and planful, belonging to those who accumulate strength before acting. Naturally, people of fire have a bad temper and overconfidence in their abilities, leading to strong desires and difficulty in being satisfied. Like a frog in a well, they have high self-esteem and often lose themselves, unaware of the vastness of the world.
Characteristics
Enthusiastic, with sincere innocence; radiant, like the rising sun. If one has a heart for the天地, they can achieve great endeavors; conversely, if the heart is narrow, the radiance will also be limited, benefiting only close associates and rarely helping others. The size of one's achievements depends on the breadth of their mind; the broader the mind, the greater the accomplishments. The destructive power is strong, and so is the power to achieve.
◇ Those with Bing Yin as their destiny in the zodiac: more stable personality, but greater ambition. Sometimes they may speak without considering the consequences due to overestimating themselves.
◇ Those with Ding Mao as their destiny in the zodiac: also have great ambition, but are less meticulous, are smart, capable, and humble, and are very intelligent people.
Things to Avoid
Most afraid of (Bing Wu, Ding Wei) Tianhe Shui (Heavenly River Water), (Ren Xu, Gui Hai) Dahuishui (Sea Water). Yi Mao, Yi You (Da Xi Shui, Big Stream Water), Gui Mao (Jinbo Jin, Gold Leaf).
Recommendations
Keep learning, the more you are enriched, the more radiant you become. Have a broad mind, far-sightedness, and a wide heart. Never let darkness erode your soul. Knowing something is impossible and then giving up is the view of a wise person. Knowing it is impossible but still striving is the heart of a loyal minister and filial son. To have a public and selfless heart is to be like Wu Yue as one family. Chengzi said: If a person can regard his body as part of the天地 and all things, what harm could there be?
Translation of Furnace Fire in Simple Terms
Furnace Fire refers to the天地 as the furnace and Yin-Yang as the charcoal, emitting light throughout the universe and transforming all things in the cosmos. This fire rises upwards, favoring wood to support it. The best wood is "Ping Di Mu" (Flat Land Wood). When Bing Yin meets Ji Hai, it is called "Tianyi Gui Ren" (Celestial Benefactor), and when it meets Wu Xu, it is called "Gui Ku" (Returning to the Storehouse), hence auspicious. Ding Mao is slightly less favorable. However, Bing Yin fire is self-born, and without wood, it is manageable. Ding Mao fire is self-weak, and if there is no wood, it is harmful. Moreover, this fire relies on metal as a resource; only with metal can it fulfill the mystery of creation. But if Ding Mao lacks wood and encounters metal, it leads to a laborious life. When Yin sees a lot of wood, it generates fire, and if there is no water to control it, it leads to early death. If Mao sees three or four types of wood, it is not a problem. For example, Geng Yin and Xin Mao are in the same position and support each other, and Ren Wu and Gui Wei transform into real fire. If Yin sees this, it often leads to violence or sudden death. If there is already water to control it, it leads to a moderate lifespan, and Ding Mao is not a problem. Although this fire prefers metal as a source of wealth, among them, Jianfeng Jin (Sword-Edge Gold) is slightly acceptable when Yin wood is present. But since Ding Mao fire is in a weak position, and then reaches the death and extinction places of Shen and You, how can it overcome metal? It leads to poverty or early death. Sea Gold, Sand Gold, and Wax Gold require wood to support the fire before they are welcomed. Qiajuan Jin (Hairpin Gold) and Jinbo Jin (Gold Leaf) are useless. If it encounters earth, it must first have metal and wood, and it prefers earth to house it, avoiding excessive dryness. For example, Chengtou Tu (City Wall Earth), Wushang Tu (Roof Earth) are all mature forms of earth, and are preferable to encounter water. If there is no wood in the destiny, fire loves to meet it. Tianhe Shui (Heavenly River Water) is auspicious for Bing Yin, but if Mao lacks wood, it is problematic. Dahuishui (Sea Water), Bing Yin meeting Ren Xu is a storehouse of blessings, and meeting Gui Hai is an official star, as it is combined and half auspicious and half inauspicious. Well Water, Stream Water, Large Stream Water, and Long Flowing Water are all harmful, but if there is wood, it is not considered harmful. When fire encounters the same type, if the day or month pillar is in a declining state, it is auspicious. Lightning Fire originally has no benefit, but if it receives support from wood and has sea water in the day and time pillars, it is suitable. If there is no wood and it encounters water, it is inauspicious. For Heavenly Fire, it needs Wushang Tu (Roof Earth) to shield it. Fu Deng Huo (Candlelight Fire) is located at Chen and Si, which is the Xun Wind position, and can help the fire grow stronger. Wang Shen needs to combine with the creation and judgment, as in Bing Yin, Ding You, Ji You, Bing Yin fire being without vitality, yet still achieving great nobility, and in Bing Yin, Jia Wu, Ji Si, Bing Yin, it is unstable.
Bing Yin Furnace Fire
Bing Yin is the bright and intense fire. Without water to control it, it has the danger of scorching and burning. Water cannot be excessive. It especially loves Jia Yin Da Xi Shui (Big Stream Water), which complements each other in the same position, also known as "Chao Yuan Lu" (Reunion Blessing). The "Five Elements Essentials" says: Bing Yin fire contains the essence of clarity, brightness, and purity, with the virtue of continuous creation throughout the seasons. Entering a noble configuration brings literary brilliance and the honor of passing exams. Notes: Bing Yin is a bright and intense fire. If there is no water to control it, it will suffer from heat and injury. Water cannot be too much. The most preferred is Jia Yin Da Xi Shui (Big Stream Water), which complements each other because Jia and Bing are adjacent and both are in the position of Yin. They support each other and are called "Chao Yuan Lu" (Reunion Blessing). It has the essence of clarity and purity, the endless cycle of the four seasons, and entering a noble configuration brings literary fame and the honor of academic success.
Bing Yin's root is the mother-child supporting fire. It starts with smoke and then becomes flame, gaining brightness and progressing in the third season, with wood as support. It dislikes water and is compatible with the five elements. Even in a dying position, it can still shine brightly. Entering a noble configuration does not rely on the root. Notes: Bing Yin belongs to the fire element, and fire is born in Yin, with wood and fire supporting each other, so it is the root of the child. The initial smoke is because the fire in spring is cold, and it first emits smoke, then the flame appears when it reaches the southern direction. Fire becomes bright when it has a flame. In March, when it meets Chen, it is the peak of the fire's development. It needs wood to be strong, and it drowns when it meets water. When fire reaches Shen and You, it is in the death palace. The fire is actually in its own birthplace and does not cause harm.
Good and Bad Nature: It is a furnace coal, favoring cold and wood. Good luck star; bad luck stars: flat head, official punishment, deaf-mute.
