Bazi: "Tears flow when there is a fan-yin or fu-yin" 返吟伏吟泪淋淋

There is a Bazi saying, "Tears flow when there is a fan-yin or fu-yin, hurting other people if not oneself". ( 返吟伏吟泪淋淋，不伤自身也损他人)

In Bazi, "fan-yin" occurs when there are two antagonistic pillars fighting on both stem and branch level in a chart or with a pillar from a luck period. For example, a chart with Jia-zi pillar and there is Geng-wu pillar in the natal chart or from a luck period.

"Fu-yin" occurs when there are two identical pillars in a chart. This will amplify the power of the elements in these pillars. For example, a chart with Jia-zi pillar and there is another Jia-zi pillar in the natal chart or from a luck period.

In general, fan-yin is inauspicious because disasters or misfortune may occur to the daymaster (DM). Fu-yin could be positive if the elements in the pillars are favorable. But if unfavorable, will double the negativity.

Below are different types of fu-yin:

FU-YIN WITHIN THE NATAL CHART

Year- and month pillar fu-yin: Dwindling ancestral fortune during DM's early years. DM suffers during childhood. Parents suffer misfortunes and legal problems. Male DM may become a monk or priest.
