The Legal Signals: Who Is Who法律信号：谁是谁
Legal disputes are among the oldest uses of Qimen Dunjia. The classical system assigns a specific symbol to every party in a lawsuit (plaintiff, defendant, judge, lawyer, evidence), so a single chart can map the entire power structure of a case. Learn these nine symbols and you can follow any legal reading:
官非诉讼是奇门遁甲最古老的应用之一。古典体系为诉讼中的每一方都指定了专属符号（原告、被告、法官、律师、证据），一张盘就能映射出案件的全部力量格局。这九个符号记熟，任何法律类解盘都能跟上：
| Symbol符号 | What it stands for in a legal chart在诉讼盘中代表什么 |
|---|---|
| 值符Duty Chief | The plaintiff: the party who initiates the legal action.原告：发起诉讼的一方。 |
| 天乙Ground-plate star under Duty Chief | The defendant: the party being sued. Specifically, the star sitting on the ground plate beneath the Duty Chief.被告：被起诉的一方。具体指值符下面地盘上的那颗星。 |
| 开门Open Door | The judge: the authority who decides the case.法官：裁决案件的权威。 |
| 六合Six Harmony | Witnesses and evidence: the supporting material that can sway the verdict.证人与证据：能左右判决结果的辅助材料。 |
| 景门Scenery Door | The lawsuit filing or complaint: the formal document that starts the case.诉状：正式启动案件的法律文书。 |
| 丁奇Ding Qi | The court summons: the official notice that compels appearance.传票：强制到庭的官方通知。 |
| 惊门Shock Door | The lawyer: legal counsel representing either side.律师：代表任何一方的法律顾问。 |
| 甲午辛Jia-Wu-Xin | The criminal or guilty party, in cases involving criminal liability.罪人，涉及刑事责任的案件中有罪的一方。 |
| 壬 / 癸Ren / Gui | Prison (壬, "heavenly jail") and the net (癸, "earthly net"): confinement and inescapability.天牢（壬）与地网（癸）：囚禁与无处可逃。 |
The grammar of a legal reading is adversarial: who controls whom, and whose side does the judge lean toward? Unlike career or relationship charts, a lawsuit chart is explicitly a contest: two parties measured against each other, with a third party (the judge) holding the scale.
诉讼盘的"语法"是对抗性的：谁克谁，法官倾向哪一方？不同于事业或感情盘，诉讼盘是明确的较量：两方力量互相衡量，由第三方（法官）执秤。
How Legal Charts Are Judged诉讼盘怎么断
Classical Qimen judges legal disputes through four layers. Once you understand this sequence, the scenarios below are just specific applications of the same framework:
古典奇门通过四个层面来断诉讼。理解这套顺序后，下面的场景不过是同一框架的具体应用：
Layer 1: Plaintiff vs. defendant strength. Compare the Duty Chief (plaintiff) palace and the Tian Yi (defendant) palace. Whichever side is thriving in the current season, carries auspicious stars and formations, and controls the other's element, holds the advantage. If the plaintiff's palace controls the defendant's, the plaintiff wins. If the defendant's palace controls the plaintiff's, the defendant wins.
第一层：原告与被告的力量对比。比较值符（原告）所在宫与天乙（被告）所在宫。哪一方在当季旺相、得吉星吉格、且克制对方的五行，就占上风。原告宫克被告宫，原告赢；被告宫克原告宫，被告赢。
Layer 2: The judge's inclination. The Open Door represents the judge or the court. Its relationship to both parties reveals the judge's stance:
第二层：法官的倾向。开门代表法官或法庭。它与双方的关系揭示了法官的态度：
Open Door controls both parties: an impartial, strict judge who rules by the book.
Open Door generates the plaintiff (Duty Chief): the judge leans toward the plaintiff.
Open Door generates the defendant (Tian Yi): the judge leans toward the defendant.
Open Door entombed (Entombment): a confused judge who cannot see the case clearly.
Open Door void: the case will not be accepted or heard at all.
Open Door in reversal (Reversed Yin): the current judge is wrong for this case; seek a change of venue or judge.
开门克双方：秉公执法的严明法官，照章判决。
开门生值符（原告）：法官偏向原告。
开门生天乙（被告）：法官偏向被告。
开门入墓：法官糊涂，看不清案情。
开门空亡：案件不予受理。
开门反吟：当前法官不适合此案，需要换庭或换法官。
Layer 3: Filing and evidence. The Scenery Door represents the formal complaint or filing. If Scenery Door is thriving, carries the three treasures (Three Wonders), and is not controlled by Open Door, the case will be accepted. If Open Door controls Scenery Door, the filing is rejected. Critical warning: if Scenery Door sits void with Dark Warrior or Serpent, the complaint itself contains false or fabricated claims. Meanwhile, Six Harmony represents the evidence. If Six Harmony is void, the evidence is insufficient, no matter how strong the case looks on paper.
第三层：立案与证据。景门代表诉状或起诉文书。景门旺相、得三奇、且不被开门克制，案件会被受理。开门克景门，则立案被驳回。关键警告：景门空亡且遇玄武或腾蛇，说明诉状本身含有虚假或捏造的内容。同时，六合代表证据。六合空亡，则证据不足，不管案件表面看起来多强。
Layer 4: Criminal sentencing. In criminal cases, Jiawu-Xin represents the accused. If Jiawu-Xin carries 壬 (heavenly jail) or 癸 (earthly net), imprisonment is virtually certain. But if Jiawu-Xin carries any of the three treasures (especially Ding, Ding), there is a path to release or acquittal. The final verdict also depends on the relationship between Jiawu-Xin and Open Door (the judge).
第四层：刑事量刑。在刑事案件中，甲午辛代表被告人。甲午辛带壬（天牢）或癸（地网），几乎必定入狱。但若甲午辛带三奇（尤其是丁奇），则有释放或无罪的可能。最终判决还取决于甲午辛与开门（法官）之间的关系。
Scenario: Will I Win This Case?场景：官司能赢吗？
The most common legal question. The chart is read as a head-to-head contest between plaintiff and defendant, with the judge as the deciding factor.
最常见的法律问题。盘面解读为原告与被告的正面对决，法官是决定性因素。
- Your side (Duty Chief or Tian Yi) thriving in season with auspicious formations你方（值符或天乙）当季旺相且得吉格
- Your palace element controls the opponent's palace element你的宫位五行克制对方宫位五行
- Open Door (judge) generates your palace, the court leans your way开门（法官）生你的宫，法庭偏向你
- Six Harmony strong and present, solid evidence supporting your position六合旺相且不空，扎实的证据支撑你的立场
- Opponent's palace controls yours and carries auspicious stars对方宫位克制你的宫位且得吉星
- Open Door generates the opponent, the judge favors the other side开门生对方，法官偏向对手
- Six Harmony void, your evidence is insufficient or missing六合空亡，证据不足或缺失
- Open Door entombed or void, the judge is confused or the case stalls开门入墓或空亡，法官糊涂或案件搁浅
Scenario: Will the Court Accept My Case?场景：法院会受理吗？
Before winning or losing, there is a prior question: will the court even hear the case? This is where the Scenery Door, the complaint, takes center stage.
在胜负之前，还有一个前置问题：法院会不会受理？这就是景门（诉状）登场的时刻。
- Scenery Door thriving in season with Three Wonders (three treasures), a strong, well-drafted filing景门当季旺相且得三奇，有力的、起草完善的诉状
- Scenery Door not controlled by Open Door, the judge sees no reason to reject景门不被开门克制，法官没有驳回的理由
- Six Harmony present and strong, sufficient evidence accompanies the filing六合不空且旺，足够的证据随诉状一同提交
- Auspicious formations in the Scenery Door palace, favorable procedural conditions景门所在宫有吉格，程序条件有利
- Open Door controls Scenery Door, the court rejects the filing开门克景门，法院驳回起诉
- Scenery Door void with Dark Warrior or Serpent, the complaint contains false claims景门空亡且遇玄武或腾蛇，诉状包含虚假内容
- Six Harmony void, insufficient evidence to support the case六合空亡，证据不足以支撑案件
- Scenery Door weak or dead in season, the filing lacks legal standing景门休囚或死绝，起诉缺乏法律依据
Settlement or Fight?和解还是力争？
Not every dispute ends in a courtroom verdict. The classical system identifies specific patterns that point toward settlement, mediation, or voluntary withdrawal, and knowing these can save both time and legal fees.
并非每场纠纷都以法庭判决收场。古典体系识别出特定的指向和解、调解或主动撤诉的格局，了解这些能节省时间和律师费。
When the plaintiff (Duty Chief) and defendant (Tian Yi) are equal in strength, both thriving or both weak, with neither controlling the other. The classical term is same-element, mutual balance. This almost always points to a settlement or mediation rather than a decisive verdict. Neither side has the leverage to crush the other, so the rational move is to negotiate.
当原告（值符）与被告（天乙）力量相当，同旺或同弱、互不克制，古语称"比和"。这几乎总是指向和解或调解，而非决定性判决。任何一方都没有碾压对方的筹码，理性选择就是谈判。
There are also directional patterns. If the plaintiff's palace generates the defendant's palace, the plaintiff is the one who will seek settlement voluntarily; they are, energetically, already giving ground. Conversely, if the defendant's palace generates the plaintiff's, the defendant is the one who will initiate settlement talks. These generation patterns do not mean weakness. They mean one side recognizes that fighting costs more than conceding.
还有方向性的格局。如果原告宫生被告宫，原告会主动寻求和解，从能量上看，他们已经在让步。反过来，如果被告宫生原告宫，被告会主动发起和谈。这些"生"的格局不代表软弱，而是说一方认识到力争的代价大于让步。
Push to trial when your side clearly controls the opponent, the judge (Open Door) generates you, and your evidence (Six Harmony) is solid.
Settle when forces are balanced (same-element), when your side is generating the opponent (you are already giving ground), or when the judge is entombed or void. A confused or absent judge benefits no one.
力争到底：你方明确克制对方、法官（开门）生你、证据（六合）扎实。
主动和解：双方力量持平（比和）、你方生对方（你已在让步）、或法官入墓/空亡，糊涂或缺席的法官对谁都没好处。
"A legal chart maps the balance of power between parties.
it cannot replace counsel from a qualified attorney.""诉讼盘映射的是各方力量的天平，
它代替不了合格律师的专业意见。"
Qimen Dunjia readings are a traditional metaphysical framework, not legal advice. They do not constitute professional counsel, cannot predict court outcomes with certainty, and should never be used as a substitute for consultation with a licensed attorney. Always seek qualified legal representation for any real legal matter.
奇门遁甲解盘是传统玄学框架，不是法律建议。它不构成专业法律意见，不能确定地预测法庭结果，绝不应替代持证律师的咨询。任何真实法律问题，请务必寻求合格的法律代理。
