More often than not, students in my classes raise doubts on the issue of Chart Pattern (格局). I, however, do not encourage beginners to place heavy emphasis on the said subject without gaining sufficient exposure and practical experiences.
I would, in this article, give a brief introduction to the fundamental concepts of the Chart Pattern.
What is a Chart Pattern (格局)?
The eight characters of four pillars may be a simple configuration but it can spin off over five hundred thousand combinations. For ease of analysis, ancestors had categorised them into various chart patterns according to their characteristics and prevailing elements.
A chart pattern illustrates the principal feature of a set of eight characters. The precise and accurate recognition of this main feature can accelerate the comprehension of the four-pillar chart.
Chart patterns are divided into 2 general groups :-
the Common Chart Pattern (普通格局) ; and
the Special Chart Pattern (特别格局).
