What we need to know first is in traditional numerology, there is an important concept known as the "Ten Gods". Their pinyin and professional English translations are as follows: Zhengguan (Direct Officer), Qisha (Seven Killings), also called Pianguan (Indirect Officer); Zhengyin (Direct Seal), Pianyin (Indirect Seal), also known as Xiaoshen (Indirect Seal); Bijian (Shoulder to Shoulder), Jiecai (Rob Wealth); Shishen (Food God), Shangguan (Injury Officer); Zhengcai (Direct Wealth), Piancai (Indirect Wealth). These Ten Gods reflect different numerological relationships and symbolic meanings, and are an important foundation for numerological analysis.
