化得真者只论化，化神还有几般话。
乙丑
甲申
甲辰
己巳癸未
壬午
辛巳
庚辰
己卯
戊寅
年月两干之甲乙，得当令之申金、丑内之辛金制化，不起争妒之风。时干己土临旺，与日主亲切而合，合神真实，乃谓真化。但秋金当令，化神泄气不足。至午运助化神，中乡榜；辛巳金火土并旺，癸黄甲，宴琼林，入翰苑，仕黄堂，庚辰合乙制化比劫，仕至藩臬。
戊辰
壬戌
甲辰
己巳癸亥
甲子
乙丑
丙寅
丁卯
戊辰
甲木生于季秋，土旺乘权，克去壬水，又无比劫，合神更真，化气有余。惜运走东北水木之地，功名仕路，不及前造，至丑运丁酉年，暗会金局，泄化神而吐秀，登科；戊戌年发甲，仕至州牧。
己卯
丁卯
壬午
甲辰丙寅
乙丑
甲子
癸亥
壬戌
辛酉
壬水生于仲春，化象斯真。最喜甲木元神透露，化气有余。余则宜泄，斯化神吐秀，喜其坐下午，午生辰土，秀气流行。少年科甲，翰苑名高，惜乎中运水旺之地，未能显秩，终于县宰。
己卯
丁卯
壬午
癸卯丙寅
乙丑
甲子
癸亥
壬戌
辛酉
此与前造只换一卯字，化象更真，化神更有余。嫌其癸劫争财，年干己土，透隔无根，不能去其癸水。午火未能流行。此癸水，真乃夺标之客也。虽中乡榜，终不能出仕。
丙戌
戊戌
癸巳
壬戌己亥
庚子
辛丑
壬寅
癸卯
甲辰
癸水生于季秋，丙火透而通根，化火斯真。嫌其时透壬水克丙，只中乡榜，直至卯运，壬水绝地，挑知县，历三任而不升，亦壬水夺财之故也。
