The Tianyu Classic, written by Yang YunSong
[Inner Transmission - Upper Section]
A single trigram in the Jiangdong region has always been auspicious, eight gods and four ones. A single trigram in the Jiangxi region arranges the dragon positions, eight gods and four twos.
The eight gods of the north and south share a single trigram, truly responding without error. Twenty-four dragons manage three trigrams, do not discuss with the time masters,
Suddenly knowing this will lead to immortality, generation after generation celebrating in abundance. The heavenly trigram is sought in the palm of the Jiangdong region, knowing it is worth a thousand gold,
The earth's eight trigrams are drawn, who can understand? Mountains and water face each other. Carefully seek the yin and yang of parents, determine the front and back together,
Look at the front and back from two perspectives, clearly defining both sides for placement. Within the trigram, the eight trigrams do not leave their positions, generation after generation people are noble,
The direction of water flow follows one path, everywhere there is fame. Dragons traveling outside the trigram have no officials or nobles, no need to waste effort,
Just use the blessings of heaven, medicine, and fortune, and see glory. Reverse the arrangement of parent stars to shade the dragon position, mountains and directions follow the same flowing water,
Twelve yin and yang paths arranged together, all come from within the trigram. Determining male and female based on heaven and earth, here encounter wealth and honor,
The sky and earth flip and change differently, secrets lie in the void. Three yang waters fully source and flow, wealth and honor never cease,
Three yangs, six beauties, and two divine beings bring wealth, soon entering the imperial court. Water reaching the imperial street brings officialdom, producing child prodigies and top scholars,
If they reside at the water outlet, they are near the imperial street and high-ranking officials. Drums and horns accompany the flowing water, brightly red banners signify nobility.
Above follows the three talents and six cycles, arranging yin and yang calculations, below follows the flow of the jade carriage pole, the dragon departs needing to turn back.
Six clear appearances are called the six dragons, names and surnames reach the ears of heaven, correct mountains and directions flow through branches, widows and young suffer punishment.
Two divine beings sharing the same path are considered husband and wife, recognize the true divine path, immortals' secrets determine yin and yang, this is the true dragon ridge.
Looking at the zero and positive of yin and yang, must know the disease of sitting and facing directions, if encountering the correct divine being in the right position, divert water into the zero hall,
Zero hall with correct direction is known to be good, recognize the brain of the incoming mountain, arrange dragon points on the water, accumulate grain in more than ten thousand warehouses.
Correct divine beings become dragons after a hundred steps, short water leads to misfortune, zero divine beings regardless of length and shortness, judgments of good and bad differ.
Parental arrangements reaching offspring must recognize birth and overcoming. Arrange dragons on the water according to position, brothers and descendants alike.
Twenty-four mountains divided into two paths, recognize the five elements of generation, dragons battling in the water installation are the true yang dragons,
If there is no fierce battle ahead, do not judge as misfortune, observe which head the malevolent star resides upon, carefully recognize its traces.
First determine the coming mountain then the direction, pearls connected without separation, must know to meticulously search for the traces of the five elements, wealth and honor knot the whole dragon.
If the five elements unexpectedly reverse the value of direction, generations of descendants flourish for a hundred years, yin and yang coordination also discussed similarly, wealth and honor found herein.
Three types of trigrams for eastern and western parents, calculated worth a thousand gold prices, twenty-four roads produce high officials, red-purple robes enter Chang'an,
Parents not being present is still good, no officials but only wealthy and powerful. Observe left and right from parental arrangements, separate directions between hands,
Double mountains double directions with water zero divine beings, wealth and honor never poor; if encountering correct divine beings must fail completely, five elements should be differentiated,
Dividing a single divine being by direction, sons appropriately detailed. If public positions are seen in reverse dragons, men and women lose their traces.
Further observe the three blessings under the parents, the first of three types of trigrams.
