(This article is excerpted from Professor Xie Xinrun’s 2006 new book “Purple Micro National Treasure”)
When designing the arrangement rules of the Purple Micro Star Cluster and the Tianfu Star Cluster, the creator of the Purple Micro Doushu obtained the “Twelve Primitive Palace Positions of the Purple Micro Doushu Primitive Basic Plate” based on the principle of “leaving the central palace and entering the yin palace” of the Purple Micro Star and the Tianfu Star, which in turn gave rise to eleven other changing plates. This is already explained in detail in Chapter 2, “The Creative Principles of the Four Transformations of the Luquan Science and Technology, the Two Major Star Groups of the Purple Mansion, and the Four Secondary Stars of the Fu Bi Qu Chang.”.
Because Ziwei Star is the first star in the arrangement of the fourteen main stars of Ziwei Doushu, and the earthly branch that Ziwei Star enters after leaving the central palace is the Yin Palace. In addition, Yin is the first month of each year, so when scheduling the twelve palace positions, it starts from the Yin Palace for several months in sequence (note: see Chapter 2 “The Creation Principles of the Four Transformations of Luquan Science, the Two Star Groups of Zifu, and the Four Auxiliary Stars of Fu Bi Qu Chang”), in other words, Yin Palace is the first palace of the original basic plate of Ziwei Doushu – the Destiny Palace. According to this setting, Chou Palace is the second palace of the original basic plate of Ziwei Doushu – the Brother and Brother Palace. And so on.
Through the above setting, the application rules of the fourteen main stars of Ziwei Doushu can be derived at many levels, and these rules can solve most of the problems in ancient Ziwei Doushu texts, and can also innovate new directions for the application of Ziwei Doushu. The setting and subsequent derivation of this “Yin Palace is the first palace of the original basic plate of Ziwei Doushu – the Palace of Destiny” are all unique skills of the author, which can give any Ziwei Doushu learner or user a completely new way of fortune telling. This innovative way of fortune telling is much simpler than any era or textbook since the birth of Ziwei Doushu. Its key points are easier to grasp, and its conclusions are more accurate. It is specially proposed to share with readers.

The primitive “Palace of Wealth and Silk” was in Xu, and “Wuqu” was the main star within the primitive “Palace of Wealth and Silk”;

The Primitive Fude Palace is located in Chen, and Greedy Wolf is the main star within the Primitive Fude Palace;
The primordial “Parental Palace” is located in Mao, and “Taiyin” is the main star within the primordial “Parental Palace”;
From the above list, it can be confirmed that the definition of each main star in the Purple Micro Doushu Ancient Fuwen originated, and a more correct new answer is proposed than in the Ancient Fuwen:
The Purple Star was defined by the ancients as the “Emperor” because it is the main star of the Primitive Palace of Destiny and the chief star of the two major star clusters of the Purple Mansion, symbolizing spiritual leaders, thus transforming Qi into “Respect”.
Tianfu Star was defined by ancient people as “Emperor’s Sage II” because Tianfu Star and Ziwei Star were the main stars that moved from the central palace and entered the primitive destiny palace at the same time. Ziwei Star is the incarnation of Luoshu Number 5 and is known as Yang Star; And Tianfu Star is the embodiment of Hetu Number 10, which is the Yin Star. If Yang is the main star, Yin is the subordinate star. Since Ziwei Star is the “Emperor Lord”, Tianfu Star is the “Emperor’s Sage Two”, symbolizing the “Prime Minister” who assists the “Emperor Lord” in governing the court. Therefore, Tianfu Star is also known as the “Ling Star”, which is the person in charge of the order and transforms Qi into “Sage”; In addition, the number 10 in the Hetu is the location for receiving wealth, so there is a saying in ancient Fu Wen that “the Heavenly Mansion… is the ruler of wealth and silk… while the number is the god in charge of wealth, silk, fields, houses, clothing, and wealth.”.
Wuqu Star was defined by ancient people as the “master of wealth and silk” because it was the main star of the primitive wealth and silk palace, responsible for the inflow and outflow of money, wealth, and materials, thus transforming Qi into “wealth”.
Lian Zhenxing was defined by the ancients as the “official salary master” because it was the main star of the original official salary palace, holding power and position. When in power, it could “imprison” people (control and command others), but when in power, it was “imprisoned” by the power of others (controlled and commanded by others), thus transforming Qi into “prisoner”.
Tianji Star was defined by the ancients as “Brother Lord” because it was the main star of the primitive Brotherhood Palace, which belonged to the Six Outer Palaces and was in charge of the interaction between the Lord, siblings, and peers; Therefore, if the Lord of Destiny wants to have the conditions to embrace harmony from both sides, he must train himself and his siblings who grew up together to be good in every way from a young age. Therefore, the Heavenly Machine Star transforms its energy into “good”.
Pojun Star was defined by the ancients as the “God of Husband and Wife, Child Rest, and Servants” because it was the main star in the primitive marital palace, responsible for marriage and the affairs of having children after marriage; In addition, Po Jun is the incarnation of the number 9 in the Luo Book, which is the largest number in the Luo Book and also holds the power to issue orders (see “The Origin of Wealth and Silk Palace and Official Ranks” in Chapter 3 “The Creation Principles of the Twelve Palace Positions”), so Po Jun is also known as the “God of Servants”. The Star of Breaking the Army belongs to the hexagram of Li, which is fire. Therefore, the Star of Breaking the Army has the intensity of fire, and it is located in the water of the uterus in the primitive basic plate of the Purple Micro Doushu, with the image of boiling water due to intense fire. Therefore, the Star of Breaking the Army often triggers trouble. This is the origin of the ancient text of the Purple Micro Doushu, “The Treatise on All Stars,” which advocates breaking the army: “In the sky, it is evil energy, in the number, it is consuming star, so it transforms energy into consumption.”.
The Sun Star was defined by the ancients as the “Lord of Official Wealth” because it is the embodiment of the Qian hexagram, where Qian represents heaven and symbolizes official power, thus transforming Qi into “Gui” (Official Nobility). In addition, the Sun is located in the children’s house of the primordial basic disk of the Purple Micro Dou number, so the Sun is also used as the main star to determine whether there are children.
Tiantong Star was defined by ancient people as the “Star of Survival” because it is located in the Illness and Misfortune Palace of the Purple Micro Doushu Primitive Basic Plate, and is responsible for physical and appearance matters; In addition, the ancient essay “The Treatise on All Stars” by Ziwei Doushu advocates for the concept of “unity of heaven and earth”, which is a fallacy. The concept of “unity of heaven and earth” is the embodiment of the Luo Shu Shu Shu Shu 3 and the Zhen Gua, and the Zhen represents Yang wood. Wood is the only representative of the phenomenon of life in the Five Elements, because only wood has the function of “growth and development” in the Five Elements. The Five Elements of human beings belong to wood, and Yang wood represents the rebirth and abundance of life. Therefore, unity of heaven and earth also represents the primitive vitality that strives for survival. However, whether its vitality can be effectively exerted still depends on which heavenly stem and earthly branch it is in the same palace with, and should not be considered as living in the “Twelve Palaces”. All are blessings.
Tianliang Star was defined by the ancients as “Yin Star”, and the word “Yin” was well used, but later generations mostly misunderstood and misused the meaning of “Yin”. Tianliang Star is the embodiment of Luoshu Number 4 and Xun hexagram. Xun represents Yin wood and flowers and fruits, with Yang wood forming the beam and Yin wood forming the shade. Therefore, the “shade” of Tianliang means “the tree becomes the shade, flowers and fruits bloom”, representing the existence and fruition of things; In addition, Luo Shushu is in charge of documents, so Tianliang is also in charge of documents and literary talent. Tianliang Star is located in the Slave Palace of the Purple Micro Doushu Primitive Basic Plate. The Slave Palace represents the relationship between the Fate Lord and the sentient beings (see Chapter 3 “The Creation Principles of the Twelve Palace Positions”), so Tianliang Star can be used to reveal whether the interaction between the Fate Lord and the sentient beings will have good results, and also represents a person’s external popularity (commonly known as Peach Blossom).
The giant gate star was defined by the ancients as a “dark star”. Ju Men Xing is the embodiment of Luo Shu Shu Shu 7 and Dui Gua. The color of Luo Shu Shu Shu 7 is “red”, which means to see blood in competition. The Dui Gua belongs to Yin gold, so Ju Men Xing has a dark and aggressive nature; Ziwei Doushu’s ancient essay “The Treatise on the Stars” advocates the idea of Jumen: “Yin essence, transforming qi into darkness, judging all things in heaven, counting right and wrong in palm, being ignorant of people, doubting right and wrong, advancing and retreating, deceiving heaven and earth. Its nature is face and mind, six relatives are few in harmony, and the beginning is good and the end is evil when making friends.”.
The Greedy Wolf Star was defined by the ancients as the “Peach Blossom Star”. The Ziwei Doushu ancient essay “The Treatise on All Stars” advocates that the Greedy Wolf is the god of misfortune and fortune, who is happy and promiscuous in numbers, small in people, cunning in nature, and cunning in the heart. He follows the waves, accepts evil and good, determines deceit, conceals people from learning the techniques of gods and immortals, and is good at singing high, wandering and reckless, and skillfully becomes clumsy. This fallacy makes the Greedy Wolf Star bear many unbearable original sins.
Greedy Wolf Star is located in the Fude Palace in the primitive basic plate of Ziwei Doushu, and is the main star in charge of thinking, spiritual level, and intelligence; In ancient feudal thought, rulers often “taught the people to be foolish” to prevent them from rebelling because they were too smart, and the wisdom of Greedy Wolf Star would pierce the myths woven by the rulers, so it was often not accepted by ancient rulers. Therefore, in the eyes of the ancients, Greedy Wolf Star “had a close relationship with its nature, and its mind was constantly calculating.” However, in today’s competitive environment where various industries strive for innovation, Greedy Wolf Star’s thinking ability is actually a weapon that can stand out.
The Taiyin Star was defined by the ancients as the “owner of the field and house”, and the transformation of qi into “wealth”. This is because the Taiyin Star is the embodiment of the Luoshu number 2 and the Kun hexagram. Kun is the Yin soil, and the Yin soil is the plain soil. Under the ancient concept of “having soil and wealth”, the Taiyin Star with the essence of Kun soil is naturally recognized by the ancients as a representative of the field, house, and wealth.
[Important Concepts]
The transformation of Purple Microstar into “Zun” does not necessarily mean that those who have Purple Microstar in their zodiac sign will be extremely noble. Instead, it is necessary to determine whether Purple Microstar is assisted by the “Gong Gan” or whether Purple Microstar has added points to the “Gong Zhi” (note: the former discusses the good interaction between the main star and the Heavenly Stem, while the latter discusses the good interaction between the main star and the Earth Zhi. Through this method of judgment, users can more easily and accurately judge the overall pattern of the zodiac sign, which will be explained in detail in this book), in order to determine whether the zodiac sign has a noble character; Similarly, the transformation of Qi from the Heavenly Machine Star into “goodness” does not necessarily mean that those who possess the Heavenly Machine Star in the Palace of Destiny are kind and benevolent. If there is poor interaction between the Heavenly Machine Star and the Palace Stem, then those who possess the Heavenly Machine Star in the Palace of Destiny are actually not kind or benevolent, and the theory of the transformation of Qi from other stars is the same.
