Liu Yao Reading Order
Use a fixed Liu Yao reading order so one vivid sign cannot displace the question, chart identity, Yongshen, time, movement or conflicting evidence.
Overview
The reading order is: normalize the question; verify all six line values and time settings; identify original, changed, palace and generation; select Yongshen; audit month/day and void; inspect movement and return relations; examine Shi–Ying and patterns; resolve conflicts; state a bounded conclusion and correction condition.

Direct answer
The reading order is: normalize the question; verify all six line values and time settings; identify original, changed, palace and generation; select Yongshen; audit month/day and void; inspect movement and return relations; examine Shi–Ying and patterns; resolve conflicts; state a bounded conclusion and correction condition.
Definitions and prerequisites
Do not begin until the cast record and question are stable. Define how ties, multiple candidate lines, no moving lines and missing data will be handled before a favorable or unfavorable pattern is seen.
Method or reference rule
Use one worksheet with separate columns for facts, traditional rule, effect direction, confidence, counterevidence and observable verification. Rank decisive evidence by the declared method instead of by emotional intensity.
Worked example
If Yongshen is supported by the month, clashed by the day and controlled by one moving line, list all three. Explain the hierarchy you apply and preserve the contradictory factors in the final summary.
Closest failure case
Jumping directly from 六冲, 六合, 旬空 or a moving line to a verdict skips the focus and evidence integration. Adding a rule only after seeing the outcome is also retrospective fitting.
Sources, interpretation and limits
A checklist improves auditability, not predictive validity. It must end with uncertainty, alternative explanations and an external observation that can confirm or correct the practical conclusion.
The named chapter documents a historical procedure; the OpenFate code locator documents the current deterministic implementation. Differences remain attributed rather than silently reconciled.
Verification checklist
Save the question, cast time, timezone, face convention, six line values, source edition and product version whenever they can change the result.
- Reproduce the six stored line values before interpretation.
- Name the method, edition and product settings used.
- Cite the decisive chart facts instead of one dramatic label.
- Use observable records and qualified advice for high-stakes decisions.
