Da Liu Ren
Ask about one matter. Read its lessons and transmissions, then consider your next step.
A collaboration is unsettled. A role is changing. An important conversation is waiting. Da Liu Ren begins with one concrete question and its casting time. The Four Lessons frame relationships; the Three Transmissions provide a sequence for interpretation. Read these structures alongside what you actually know about the situation.
Da Liu Ren is traditionally grouped with Tai Yi and Qi Men Dun Jia as the Three Styles. Liu Ren Da Quan discusses its system and differing conventions. The Xin Yin Fu and commentary in volume one of Liu Ren Zhi Nan describe important foundations, including the monthly general, stem lodging, Four Lessons and transmission methods. This calculator uses Da Liu Ren, not the simplified Xiao Liu Ren method or Jin Kou Jue. Guanyitang presents calculation evidence separately from interpretation, so you can distinguish how a chart was formed from what a reading suggests about your question.
Describe one matter, the choice you face and what has already happened. Add relevant roles, agreements or constraints as background. You do not need to guess another person's motives or supply birth details for this casting flow.
Will my career go well in the future?
I am considering a collaboration, but we have not agreed on responsibilities. What should I clarify before deciding whether to join?
Once confirmed, your question and casting time stay together. Returning to the record, reading its report or discussing it with Guanfu uses that same original.
Name the event and the choice you face. For a collaboration, include the roles and any agreement already reached. For work, explain the arrangement and what remains uncertain.
Use the moment you first submit, or choose a supported date and time. Signing in or retrying the same request preserves the confirmed casting time.
Check the day signs, monthly general and hour, then the Four Lessons and Three Transmissions. Open the derivation to follow the steps used for this particular chart.
The five chapters connect the chart to the situation, participants, development, obstacles and action. Open a chart target or select report text to continue with Guanfu.
Each part has a different job. The plates establish positions, the lessons frame relationships, the transmissions order the reading, and the generals add symbolic context. Their meaning depends on how they work together.
The twelve Earth positions are fixed. The Heaven plate is arranged by placing the monthly general over the casting hour. Separate labels make the moving sign and its underlying position distinguishable.
Start by distinguishing Heaven from Earth, then locate the transmissions.
The lessons are derived from the day stem, day branch and their upper signs. The first pair relates to the stem; the second to the branch. The roles of self, counterpart or subject depend on your actual question.
Read the upper and lower signs, general and relation. A hidden layer is not proof of someone's private thoughts.
The initial transmission starts the sequence; the middle and final transmissions follow the applicable method. Hidden stems, kin relations, generals and supported markers add context to each stage.
Follow the opening, transition and destination. Stage order alone does not specify calendar dates.
Names such as Noble One, Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird carry symbolic associations. Position, elemental relationships and the matter being asked about shape their interpretation.
A general's name alone cannot establish a person's intentions or an inevitable outcome.
Different questions call for different points of attention. These examples help frame a casting; they are not advance predictions for an uncast chart.
The Nine Methods organize transmission selection. They are not nine interchangeable settings: the applicable conditions determine the path. This is a guide to the traditional system; formal casting remains limited to the rules verified for this version.
The monthly general arranges the Heaven plate; the Heavenly Generals are a separate symbolic layer. Learn their names, then return to their positions and the specific question to understand their role.
Begin with the overall situation, examine the participants and the developing process, identify obstacles, and consider what to do next. Each chapter connects to a specific part of the chart above it.
Read the chart's overall structure and main clues in relation to the original question.
Examine the visible conditions of the participants or matter through the stem and branch lessons, then distinguish further yinshen clues from facts still to confirm.
Follow the initial, middle and final transmissions to examine continuity and points that need a review.
Examine the generals and supported relationships in this chart, together with their conditions.
Translate the reading into what to do now, what comes next and what to hold off, with observable checkpoints.

Inner Hall membership: generate all five reading chapters
The original question, background, time and chart are saved together. Add outcome notes as the matter develops, or explicitly bring an update to Guanfu. Notes do not rewrite the chart. Derivation explains the calculation; the deep reading interprets it in context. Consider significant actions alongside known facts and real conversations.
No. This page uses the Da Liu Ren system of Heaven and Earth plates, Four Lessons, Three Transmissions and Twelve Heavenly Generals. It does not substitute the simplified Xiao Liu Ren method or mix in the separate Jin Kou Jue chart structure.
This casting flow uses a concrete question and its casting time, without requiring birth information. Traditional Liu Ren can use additional personal factors, but information that you have not supplied or the system has not calculated is not added to this chart.
Casting now uses the moment of your first confirmed submission. Choosing a time uses the supported date and time you enter. Signing in, retrying or restoring the original does not substitute a new current time.
This version supports 2020–2027, the Asia/Shanghai time zone and whole minutes. From 23:00 it uses the next sexagenary day while preserving your original timestamp. It excludes the interval within one minute either side of a published principal solar-term boundary, and transmission rules outside this version's scope. Unsupported input is explained rather than silently moved to another time.
The derivation shows the deterministic steps that selected the transmissions for this chart. Their interpretation for your question belongs in the Development chapter. A calculation step is not, by itself, a claim about a real-world outcome.
The chart and transmission method are free to view. Inner Hall members can generate all five chapters: the overall situation, participants, development, obstacles and support, and action. Previously acquired reports remain readable after membership expires.
For the same matter, you can restore the original, add outcome notes and discuss the new facts with Guanfu. If you decide a fresh casting is needed, choose New casting explicitly. Retrying an earlier request continues its original time instead of automatically making a new chart.
Start with the scale of the question. Ba Zi addresses longer-term life themes; Da Liu Ren, Liu Yao and Qi Men offer distinct structures for concrete matters. Da Liu Ren emphasizes lesson relationships and transmission development. Each method has its own assumptions; repeatedly switching tools to obtain a preferred answer does not resolve uncertainty.
