全名《性命双修万神圭旨》，明万历间（约1615）刊，托尹真人高弟。元亨利贞四集，图文并茂（五十余图），熔道、儒、佛（含唯识）论内丹。Needham 誉为生理炼丹之“Summa”。强调性命双修：性（心性）与命（精气身）不可偏废，九节功程图像化，影响清以后全真与民间丹道极深。
⚡ Ứng dụng: 内丹体系化教材；与八字“日主强弱、调候、通关”可隐喻对应——性功如用神调心，命功如补短；现代丹道入门常引此书。

The text proves that complete realization requires dual cultivation of 性 (original nature/spirit) and 命 (embodied life-force/destiny), and that either alone is incomplete: empty quietism without life-refinement, or bodily alchemy without nature-illumination, both fail. It argues that the classical metaphors (kan-li, lead-mercury, dragon-tiger) are pedagogical maps of one reversible process uniting prenatal and postnatal. True ‘return’ is measurable as reintegration of nature and life into one original unity.
1) In BaZi, read 性 via day-master clarity/spirit indicators and 命 via resource, officer, and wealth structures as embodied constraints—then design dual practice. 2) Sequence training: first stabilize life (sleep, breath, jing conservation), then open nature (stillness, insight). 3) Use ten-gods imbalance as a diagnostic for whether the person needs more 命-work (earthly, circulatory, timing) or 性-work (mind, non-attachment). 4) Map luck pillars as seasons for which side of 性命 is easier to cultivate. 5) Treat ‘return to origin’ as concrete practice milestones, not slogans.
Compared with early Shangqing visualization or pure precept scriptures, 性命圭旨 is systematically neidan and dualistic-to-nondual in method. It differs from 内观经’s simpler ‘look within’ by insisting on technical stages and life-force operations. Its uniqueness is the explicit thesis that incomplete half-cultivation is the main failure mode.
