Ink Pool Gushing Spring: The Xin-Si Case and Six Eating God Pairs

Ink Pool Gushing Spring is a literary name for Eating God (a traditional role associated with creativity, expression and enjoyment) pillar examples. It starts with Xin-Si and Gui-Si/Gui-Hai, then adds six analogies. The imagery suggests literary accomplishment, but the concrete content lies in stem generation, branch pairing and the chosen reference.

Clarify · Updated

Whose Eating God appears in the four-pillar example?

The pillars are Year, Month, Day and Hour. Year Stem Xin generates Gui, so the Day and Hour Gui stems are Eating God relative to Xin. The actual Day Master is Gui: from that reference Xin is Indirect Resource, Ren Rob Wealth and Hour Gui Peer.

Ren-Chen month fits a Xin year and Gui-Hai hour a Gui day. Si–Hai is also an actual clash, which should not disappear from the explanation because the name sounds favorable.

What do the six analogies share, and where do they differ?

The second stem in each pair is the first stem’s Eating God. Some share a branch, some oppose, and others do neither. They are not another table of same-nest Eating God pairs.

First source pillarSecond source pillarBranch relation
Bing-Yin (丙寅)Wu-Yin (戊寅)Same branch
Wu-Shen (戊申)Geng-Shen (庚申)Same branch
Ji-Si (己巳)Xin-Hai (辛亥)Si–Hai clash
Geng-Wu (庚午)Ren-Shen (壬申)Neither shared branch nor six clash
Jia-Xu (甲戌)Bing-Yin (丙寅)Neither shared branch nor six clash
Ren-Chen (壬辰)Jia-Shen (甲申)Neither shared branch nor six clash

Can every pair be read as day followed by hour?

No. Wu day at Shen gives Geng-Shen and Jia day at Yin gives Bing-Yin. But Bing at Yin gives Geng-Yin, Ji at Hai gives Yi-Hai, Geng at Shen gives Jia-Shen and Ren at Shen gives Wu-Shen, unlike the other four listed targets.

The source supplies analogies without assigning a uniform pair of pillar positions. Preserve the complete examples and clarify the reference instead of constructing an invalid day/hour formula.

How much does this tell a reader interested in talent?

Eating God can evoke expression, output and enjoyment in traditional interpretation, but the quality of work, knowledge and communication is observed in real life. This name supplies no test proving literary ability from a pillar pair.

Its useful role is to explain a classical case and the difference between Year-Stem and Day-Master references. A literary title alone does not supply that explanation.
