Quick answerWhat is the nguyên thần in Lục Hào?
The nguyên thần is the hào that generates the Dụng thần, meaning the hào that has a generating relationship with the hào representing the matter being asked about. For example, if the Dụng thần is the Thê tài hào belonging to Mộc, then the Tử tôn hào belonging to Thủy will be the nguyên thần, because Thủy generates Mộc. Tăng san bốc dịch defines the nguyên thần as the hào that generates the Dụng thần, and it only has power when it is vượng tướng or is generated and supported by the nhật nguyệt.
