Once a structure is out of balance, there are six basic ways to adjust it: check, convert, drain, bridge, temper, and support or restrain. This chapter gives the rule and the usual move.
Zhi (by Officer)
check it: controlled pressure turns strength into something useful
Hua (by Resource)
convert it: pressure turned into learning
Xie (by Output)
drain it: strong energy needs an outlet
Tong Guan
bridge it: place a middle element between two clashing sides
Tiao Hou
temper it: cold and dry charts both need adjusting
Fu Yi
support or restrain: help the weak, press the strong
Tu Duo Jin Mai Xu Shu
buried by resource: open the way with Wood
Shui Duo Mu Piao Xu Gen
adrift on resource: anchor with Earth
Jin Wang Wu Shui Xu Lian
strong with no outlet: refine with Fire
Jin Wang You Shui Yi Xie
strong with an outlet: drain through Water
Cai Duo Shen Ruo Xu Fu
many goals, low capacity: shore up the self first
Huo Duo Tu Jiao Xu Run
burned out by overuse: cool with Water
Tu Duo Huo Hui Xu Shu
talent buried: open the way with Wood
Liang Shen Xiang Zhan Xu Tong
two forces at war: find the bridging element
How should I read this chapter?
Each row gives the pinyin, the plain-English name, and what it points to in real life. The terms are labels for structure, not verdicts: read them as a way of describing a chart, then look at the behaviour they suggest. This chapter holds 14 terms in 2 sections.
Where do these terms appear in the product?
In the chart read-out, the advice layer, the comparison conclusions and the period notes. When a word on a result page is unfamiliar, come back here for the row that explains it.
Can a term be used as a conclusion?
No. Terms describe structure; the scores come from a separate model whose formulas are published. We make no claim about outcomes, in either direction.
