Parents父母
The element that produces the palace element.
- Rule
- 生我者為父母
一切庇護我身者是也。
Everything that shelters me.
Zeng Shan Bu Yi
What it stands for
The book sums this line up as whatever shelters you. So it covers parents, elders and teachers, and then, by the same logic, houses, walls, boats, carts, clothes and rain gear. Documents and letters belong here too.
The rule above is a later summary. The book itself lists each palace’s lines one by one.
