Yu Zhao Ding Zhen Jing: Rule Text and Commentary
Study Yu Zhao Ding Zhen Jing as a transmitted early rule text, separate terse lines from commentary, and contextualize its pillar, Nayin, and marker judgments.
Overview
Yu Zhao Ding Zhen Jing (玉照定真經, Yù Zhào Dìng Zhēn Jīng) is a transmitted technical text preserved with commentary and associated with earlier Lu Ming-style analysis. Its compact lines discuss stem-branch order, Nayin, pillar direction, combinations, punishments, markers, kinship, status, illness, and other traditional judgments. Attribution and textual history should be treated cautiously, while the consulted edition and commentary must be named. Many operative conditions appear in commentary rather than the root line. The text is important for studying historical rule formation, but its literal event and bodily language cannot be applied as diagnosis or deterministic fact. Each rule needs a declared reference point, complete inputs, and comparison with variants.

Separate root line, gloss, and later commentary
Quote the concise rule exactly from a named edition, then identify the commentary that supplies examples or conditions. Do not attribute the commentary’s expansion to the root line.
Report uncertain authorship and variant characters. A traditional attribution is part of reception history, not automatically a verified bibliographic fact.
- Label every textual layer.
- Treat attribution as evidence to evaluate.
Reconstruct the rule’s own calculation system
State whether the line uses year identity, Nayin, upper-lower generation and control, pillar sequence, a named marker, or a stem-branch relation. Record all required positions and direction.
Do not translate the rule immediately into Day-Master Ten Gods or modern structure analysis. First explain it within its historical method.
- Name the reference point and direction.
- Keep Lu Ming logic distinct from later Ziping.
Compare variants and counterrules
Check whether other editions change a character, order, example, or judgment. Review nearby lines that qualify the same relation by season, strength, rescue, or direction.
When the rule conflicts with a later system, present both frameworks and their assumptions. Do not manufacture a universal hierarchy without source support.
- Record variants that change the result.
- Preserve method-specific disagreement.
Contextualize event and bodily language
Historical references to rank, crime, illness, body parts, family loss, or conduct are traditional symbolic judgments. They cannot diagnose, accuse, or predict a modern person.
Use the text for historical study and bounded interpretation. Health, legal, safety, and family decisions require direct evidence and qualified processes.
- No literal diagnosis or accusation.
- No rights decision from a classical line.
