Ba Shen in "Strange Gate" is a symbol of value, including snake, moon, Liuhe, white tiger, Xuanwu, nine places and nine days. It has information reference function in prediction and can also be a god.

The value operator, because the small value operator corresponds to the general of the site and nine planets on duty in Sky Plate, is also called the value operator, that is, the person in charge and the leader on duty in Ba Shen. Because A hides under it, the symbols of decimal values are divided according to the nature of the five elements, which should also belong to the nature of the Oriental Oracle and belong to the most auspicious god among the gods. Its characteristics are similar to those of the Qinglong in the Six hexagrams. If you regard God as a superior symbol of value, it means that you have the blessing of the most auspicious God. If the deity is an article, it means that the article is high-grade goods, genuine products, fine products and famous products. If God is a person in a certain unit or enterprise, it means that this person has a certain position in the unit and is a leader. If he is in the fourth official palace (namely 1, 3, 7, 9), he may be the chief and the highest leader. If he is in the fourth official palace (that is, houses 8, 4, 2 and 6), he may be a deputy, except the sixth official. In addition, value operators can also serve as bosses, invigilators, referees, plaintiffs, money lenders, banks, markets, defenders of war and so on. Although the value operator is the most auspicious god, it is not good to die in the air. Therefore, the ancients also concluded that the symbolic value was empty and life was not guaranteed.

Of course, if God's Ji Xing, Ji Men and Ji Ge are used as excellent basalts, they will be close to Zhu Zhechi, and basalts will be transformed into Ji. It can only show that this person has a flexible side besides principles, and it is inevitable that he will handle things differently, from the inside out, with a smooth side.
