The three wonders and the six instruments

Yi, Bing, and Ding are the three wonders. Jia does not appear alone. It hides among the six instruments Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui. They are stems in the cells of this board, not charms.

Dun Jia hides Jia

When you see Wu through Gui, tradition asks which instrument hides Jia. Do not write Jia as a cell of its own.

Wonders and instruments move with the board

The same stems can sit in different palaces next hour. Find the lead star and lead door first, then where Yi, Bing, and Ding land.

Bing in one palace

Illustration: on this board the wonder Bing sits in Zhen. Write Bing in Zhen, and say it is one of the three wonders. It is not “Bing means a patron in the east.” A direction is a cell, not an address.

Common mistakes

  • Turning the three wonders into three lucky objects.
  • Giving Jia a palace of its own.
  • Copying Bing from the previous board onto this one.

Frequently asked questions

Which of Yi, Bing, and Ding is the luckiest?

There is no rank. They are three stem symbols. Different palaces make different sentences.

Do the six instruments include the three wonders?

No. The instruments are Wu through Gui. The wonders are Yi, Bing, and Ding. Jia hides among the instruments.

Are these the same stems as BaZi?

The characters match and the use does not. These stems belong to the cells of this board, not to a birth chart.
