Core Analysis
Mao Dun’s chart with the Si hour is Bing Shen, Jia Wu, Wu Wu, Ding Si. Wu Earth is born in the Wu month, Fire-Earth is extremely strong, and Jia Wood Seven Killings appears on the month stem. The chart is read as a Yang Blade pattern, with the Blade controlling Killings. Wood and Water help; more Fire-Earth is too much. When Yang Blade writes literature, it is rarely gentle. This is not airy lyricism. It carries real pressure, class conflict, and the noise of the age. Jia Wood Seven Killings on the month stem pulls Mao Dun’s writing toward organization, struggle, and public issues. After 1917, Ding You Direct Resource luck brought editing, theory, and literary society activity. From 1927, Wu Xu luck made Fire-Earth heavier, and creative work erupted under pressure. Works such as Eclipse and Midnight carry that tension. In 1981, Gui Mao Direct Wealth luck and the Xin You year brought a clash between Officer Wood and Hurting Officer Metal; in old age, traditional life-span reading would watch the liver-gallbladder, breath, and qi-blood disturbance.
