上九州十二宫天星分野。内经止言九宫分数，未有九州详载。按殷周以下之制，皆以
扬州隶丑，青州隶子，徐州隶戌，如前图之类，莫解所谓。且天星周于六合，而欲以中国尽配之，其
义何居？及考奇门诸家，则合于禹贡，复有此九宫分野，与前十二宫者有所不同，抑又何
也？此其中恐有误者，盖不在此则在彼矣。今并图于此，以便考正。

甲己还加甲，乙庚丙作初，丙辛从戊起，丁壬庚子居，戊癸何方始？壬子是直途。
求正月建寅法∶于子上进二位。如甲子至寅，即丙寅也。余仿此。

一月包含三十日，共三百六十个时辰（即三十组十二地支），一万八百分，十二万九千六百秒。
一年包含十二月，共三百六十日（即十二组三十日），四千三百二十个时辰，十二万九千六百分。
一世包含三十年，共三百六十个月（即三十组十二月），四千三百二十日，十二万九千六百个时辰。
一运包含十二世，共三百六十年（即十二组三十年），四千三百二十个月，十二万九千六百日。
一会包含三十运，共三百六十世（即三十组十二世），一万八百年，十二万九千六百个月。
一元包含十二会，共三百六十运（即十二组三十运），四千三百二十世，十二万九千六百年。
以上涉及九州与十二宫的天文星宿分野。《黄帝内经》仅提及九宫的分数，没有详细记载九州的情况。考察殷周以来的制度，都是将扬州归属于丑位，青州归属于子位，徐州归属于戌位，像前图所示的这类划分，我不明白其中的道理。况且天星环绕六合，却想将中国全部与之对应，其义理何在？等到考察奇门遁甲等各家学说，则与《禹贡》相符，又有这种九宫分野，与前文的十二宫有所不同，这又是为什么呢？这其中恐怕有错误，大概不是这里错了就是那里错了。现在一并绘图于此，以便考证纠正。

十干起子歌诀
甲己之年还加甲，乙庚之年丙作初，丙辛之年从戊起，丁壬之年庚子居，戊癸之年何方始？壬子是正途。
求正月建寅的方法：在“子”位上前进两位。例如甲子年进二位为寅，即丙寅月。其余依此类推。
(Shao Yong's *Huangji Jingshi* [Supreme Principles Goverding the World].)
One *fen* [unit of time] comprises twelve *miao* [seconds].
One *shi* [two-hour period] comprises thirty *fen*, totaling three hundred and sixty *miao*.
One day comprises twelve *shi*, totaling three hundred and sixty *fen*, and four thousand three hundred and twenty *miao*.
One month comprises thirty days, totaling three hundred and sixty *chen* [time periods] (i.e., thirty sets of twelve Earthly Branches), eighteen hundred *fen*, and one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred *miao*.
One year comprises twelve months, totaling three hundred and sixty days (i.e., twelve sets of thirty days), four thousand three hundred and twenty *chen*, and one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred *fen*.
One *shi* [generation/30 years] comprises thirty years, totaling three hundred and sixty months (i.e., thirty sets of twelve months), four thousand three hundred and twenty days, and one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred *chen*.
One *yun* [cycle/120 years] comprises twelve *shi*, totaling three hundred and sixty years (i.e., twelve sets of thirty years), four thousand three hundred and twenty months, and one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred *bai* [hundreds of months? Note: Text says 百, likely a typo for 分 or just a unit count, literal translation used].
One *hui* [era/3600 years] comprises thirty *yun*, totaling three hundred and sixty *shi* (i.e., thirty sets of twelve generations), eighteen hundred years, and one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred months.
One *yuan* [great cycle/43200 years] comprises twelve *hui*, totaling three hundred and sixty *yun* (i.e., twelve sets of thirty eras), four thousand three hundred and twenty *shi*, and one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years.
The above concerns the celestial division of the Nine Provinces and Twelve Palaces. The *Huangdi Neijing* [Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon] only mentions the numerical values of the Nine Palaces, without detailed records of the Nine Provinces. Examining the systems since the Yin and Zhou dynasties, Yangzhou is assigned to the Chou position, Qingzhou to the Zi position, and Xuzhou to the Xu position, as shown in the previous diagram; I do not understand the rationale behind this. Furthermore, while celestial stars surround the Six Directions, attempting to map all of China exclusively to them, what is the theoretical basis? Upon examining various schools of Qimen Dunjia [Mystical Door Hidden Formation], they align with the *Yu Gong* [Tribute of Yu], yet possess this Nine Palaces division which differs from the aforementioned Twelve Palaces. Why is this so? There must be an error within, either here or there. I have included the diagrams here for verification and correction.

Song of Ten Heavenly Stems Starting from Zi
In years of Jia and Ji, start with Jia;
In years of Yi and Geng, Bing begins first;
In years of Bing and Xin, start with Wu;
In years of Ding and Ren, Geng occupies Zi;
Where does it begin in years of Wu and Gui? Ren at Zi is the direct path.
Method for determining the establishment of Yin in the first month: Advance two positions from "Zi". For example, from Jia Zi advancing two positions leads to Yin, resulting in Bing Yin month. Apply this logic to the rest.
