Three Harmonies (三合) is a governed BaZi relation marker. Learn its classifier contract, classical assertion, contextual translation, and strict interpretive limits.
关系三合sān hé
Three Harmonies (三合) is recorded when the governed chart pipeline includes sanhe in derived.relation_types_present. That flag identifies a symbolic relationship type. It does not by itself prove conflict, harmony, family harm, transformation, compatibility, or a specific event. The full chart still determines whether the marked relationship is central, moderated, repeated, or secondary.
Definition
What Three Harmonies means
Three Harmonies (三合) is recorded when the governed chart pipeline includes sanhe in derived.relation_types_present.
The source row preserves one historical assertion about Three Harmonies. Pillarwise presents that assertion with its exact excerpt and a contextual translation rather than expanding it into an unsupported outcome claim.
That flag identifies a symbolic relationship type. It does not by itself prove conflict, harmony, family harm, transformation, compatibility, or a specific event.
Method
From marker to context
- 1 · Read the derived set
Confirm that the completed chart contains sanhe in derived.relation_types_present. A name or branch seen in isolation is not this rule contract.
- 2 · Locate the relationship
Identify which chart positions participate, then restore season, Day Master, Ten Gods, repeated relations, and other combinations before assigning emphasis.
- 3 · Keep the claim bounded
That flag identifies a symbolic relationship type. It does not by itself prove conflict, harmony, family harm, transformation, compatibility, or a specific event.
例Procedural example
Use the classifier, not resemblance
If a completed chart includes sanhe in derived.relation_types_present, the rule may label the relationship Three Harmonies. If that derived value is absent, this page does not authorize adding the label from a vague resemblance. Even when present, the marker is interpreted conditionally rather than as an event forecast.
Do not collapse
Three different claim levels
A marked relation and a completed transformation are different claims. This page does not supply transformation conditions.
No single relation replaces season, Day Master, Ten Gods, structure, roots, or the rest of the chart.
Interpretive boundary
What 三合 cannot establish
That flag identifies a symbolic relationship type. It does not by itself prove conflict, harmony, family harm, transformation, compatibility, or a specific event. Traditional wording can sound literal, especially for Clash and Harm, but a responsible reading cannot turn one relation flag into medical, safety, relationship, legal, financial, or family certainty. Pair tables and transformation conditions require their own governed evidence and are outside this page.
Classical evidence
Excerpt and contextual translation
San Ming Tong Hui (三命通会) · 论支元三合
有生有成有收，万物得始得终，乃自然之理。Pillarwise contextual translation: There is generation, completion, and gathering; things receive a beginning and an end. The passage presents this as a natural cycle.
