Qianjin Zhongzi Method: When engaging in intercourse ("adding fire"), one should stop at the boundary of the yin segment; otherwise, it will exceed one palace. I asked for the reason. The teacher said: "Deeply, it is in the Shaoyin division, which is a direction of肃杀 (severe killing/withering), how can life be generated? Shallowly, it is in the Jueyin division, which is a direction of warmth and harmony, thus able to generate life. Therefore, the place of conception is shallow, not deep." It is not that intercourse is forbidden after menstruation; only on the first day after menstruation for male essence, second day for female essence, third day for male essence, etc., outside of which conception does not occur. Intercourse should be avoided during strong winds, heavy rain, extreme cold, extreme heat, cloudy/dark weather, and solar/lunar eclipses, lest the offspring be deaf, dumb, blind, or physically deformed.
