Siblings兄弟
The same element as the palace.
- Rule
- 同我者為兄弟
兄弟乃同類之人，彼得志則欺淩，見財則奪。
Siblings are people of your own kind. When they do well they bully you, and when they see money they take it.
Zeng Shan Bu Yi
What it stands for
This line covers brothers, sisters, cousins and sworn brothers. The book is wary of them. In a question about money, this line takes it. In a question about a plan, it blocks. In a question about a wife or servant, it does harm.
The rule above is a later summary. The book itself lists each palace’s lines one by one.
