What it means

傷官 sanggwan is the seat that is what the day stem bears, of the opposite polarity.

Talent showing itself sharply.

The name means it wounds the officer, so it collides with rule, and its invention is large.

What the document says

Many talents, and a marked singularity.

Its sense is keen and draws the eye.

It hates the frame, and so is taken for defiance.

Add discipline and none can follow it.

The craft breaks outward.

It shakes the board and gains a name, and pays for it in collision with those above.

Expression is alive and draws people.

So long as the speech does not run ahead, this grain is itself a holding.

Showing takes all the strength.

Reduce the places where it puts itself out, so it does not sicken after pouring.

Ten years in which the craft breaks open.

Make the name, but guard against talk arising from speech and from rule.

Craft and sense come alive and draw notice.

Where speech runs ahead or strikes against the rule, talk rises.

Let the craft go freely; slow the speech by a beat.
