Quote from 《六壬大全》 the Complete Collection of Liu Ren …
大抵數根於五行，而五行始於水，舉陰以起陽，故稱壬焉。舉成以該生，故用六焉。
六壬 Liù-Rén is one of 古三式 the Three Ancient Boards, which become the mainstream of divination techniques after 秦朝 the QÍN Dynasty (246BCE to 206BCE). The origin of Liù-Rén can be traced back to as early as 周朝 the ZHŌU Dynasty. A few ancient Liù-Rén examples were found in 《吳越春秋》 the Spring and Autumn Annals of WÚ and YUÈ by 趙曄 ZHÀO Yè of 東漢 the Late HÀN Dynasty.
Liù-Rén features the integration of the ancient Chinese version of Local Apparent Sidereal Time (LAST in short, denoted as θ) and the Day of Divination. Based upon which, 六壬課 a Liù-Rén Setting consists of the LAST Chart, 四課 the Four Pillars and 三傳 the Three Derivatives. LAST, also known as 月將加時 Yuè-Jiāng jiā Shí in Chinese astrology, which is mathematically equivalent to the addition of the Right Ascension (denoted as α) and Time (denoted as H) in terms of hours, is essentially the Natal Chart in western astrology.
“The Authentic Series: Liù-Rén” reveals not just how it works, but an elevated perspective of how it relates to Chinese Astrology, a long forgotten origin by some of the Liù-Rén practitioners. This book covers the following topics:
- The Origin of Liù-Rén
- Chinese Calendar
- Liù-Rén Setting - The Nine Rules
- Liù-Rén in Real Life
