Shen sha 27 / 36 · Ten Evils Great Defeat
The Ten Evils Great Defeat is one of the 36 shen sha, anchored on the fixed pillar list (day pillar decisive). Ten day pillars whose Prosperity Star falls into their xun’s void — the list can be derived, not just memorized. The table below is the complete lookup — every row links to the branch or pillar page so you can verify it — and the picker repeats the same engine data for whichever anchor you choose.
This page is generated by engine v0.14.0, not hand-written; the table was cross-checked against external sources and against its own derivation (see methodology R32).

The naval classic Yuan Hai Zi Ping lists Yi-Chou in place of Ji-Chou. The derivation test (salary stem in the xun’s void) accepts Ji-Chou and rejects Yi-Chou, so this page prints the San Ming Tong Hui list and flags the variant.
A note on what this page deliberately does not do: the popular versions of this material assign a fixed personality to each term — one character per branch, one destiny per stage. This site rejects that framing. What is published here is a structural position: which element sits where, on what kind of ground, with which tenants inside. The same term reads differently under a different month command, and no meaningful judgement exists without the other characters of the chart. Where the tradition offers a reading it is labelled as the tradition's; this site's own contribution is that every number and term on this page is computed, versioned and checkable against the methodology page.

Every enumerable component of ba zi has its own page here. Each page is computed by the same engine and can be checked item by item — none of it is a personality table.
