Eight characters and ten gods sit on the ground and support ten gods.

But the ten gods in the eight characters need to be viewed as a whole.

The Ten Gods refer to the terminology of China's traditional numerology, which infers the good and bad luck of life according to heavenly stems and earthly branches and the five elements of Yin and Yang. The eight-character numerology, based on the restraint of yin and yang and the mutual harm of punishment and punishment, is determined from the relationship between the Japanese pillar and other branches: shoulder-to-shoulder, robbing money, eating god, injuring officials, favoring money, killing seven, being an official and being biased, which is called "ten gods". The dryness of the sky is that yang dryness sees yin dryness, which is positive, yang dryness sees yang dryness, and yin dryness sees yin dryness as biased. Those who are the same as the five elements of daily work are robbing money, robbing money is positive, and robbing money is biased. The ten gods focus on personnel analysis, and the five elements focus on the weight of personal temperament, which complement each other.

So if you want to understand the eight characters, you must be familiar with the Ten Gods.
