Results for "Tam Kỳ Lục Nghi"

Quick answer

Why is the Tam Kỳ placed in reverse and the Lục Nghi in forward order in Dương độn?

According to the book ki mon don giap dieu bi, in Dương độn the Lục Nghi is placed in forward order and the Tam Kỳ in reverse order. The book explains the reason as follows: Ất, Bính and Đinh correspond in turn to the numbers 9, 8 and 7, that is, they run counter to the sequence 6, 7, 8 of the Lục Nghi. In Âm độn the order is reversed: the Lục Nghi is placed in reverse and the Tam Kỳ in forward order. This is the convention used consistently by many current Kỳ Môn books.

From the article “Tam Kỳ and Lục Nghi in Kỳ Môn Độn Giáp: Why Are Ất, Bính, Đinh Called Tam Kỳ and Under Which Lục Nghi Do the Six Giáp Hide?”
