置閏法
置閏法
徠我國古代長期採用陰陽合曆,它根據月亮的盈虧變化定月,平年12個月,6個大月30天,叫“大盡”;6個小月各29天,叫“小盡”;全年354天。這比太陽年(365.2422天)要少約10天21小時。為此古人採取置閏的辦法加以調整,開始時每三年閏一個月,五年閏兩個月,春秋中葉后規定十九年閏七個月·每逢閏年加的一個月叫"閏月",閏月加於某月之後叫"閏某月"。通過置閏可使歷年的平均長度約等於一個太陽年,並和自然季節大致吻合。

置閏法嚴格執行干支紀時,並適時調整跟上節氣的變化。每一局的六十個時辰都是從甲子時起的六十甲子完整周期,即使在置閏時段,也是三個六十甲子完整周期,故能夠在一個節氣中,形成十八次九星值符小循環、二十次八門值使小循環、二次九星中循環。在一年中,有二十四個節氣用局的大循環,還有六次六十天的甲子循環,七十二次六十個時辰的甲子循環,四十八次九星的中循環,若遇置閏,九星的中循環一年五十次,正好是大衍之數。超者,超過也。神者,日辰也。接者,承接也。氣者,諸節也。節氣未至而日辰先到,則復節氣為主而超越用未來之節氣,此之謂超。又有節氣已至而日辰未到,則伏辰為主而待日辰至方接承節。蓋其氣來則日辰未至而奇星常用於前節,此之謂接也。如丙午年四月十三日壬申交立夏節上,然四月初五日甲子日。甲己是四仲日,已在立夏前九日矣,則合超,超先於甲子日,下用立夏上局奇,己巳後用甲局,此乃先得奇后 得節,凡作用取效為速。按日干支與節氣定局,以日干甲、己為符頭,又遇日支、子、午、卯、酉用上元,遇寅、申、巳、亥用中元,遇辰、戌、丑、未,用下元,每五天一局,每個節氣三局,一年二十四節氣共七十二局,則每年剩餘天數累積多達九天以上時,在夏至或冬至前重複上一節氣的三局,謂之置閏,又稱超神接氣。
謂節氣未至而甲子、己卯、甲午、己酉四上元之符頭先到,則從符頭而行節氣之先 上元。如正月初一日立春,而上年十二月二十五日即是甲子。此符頭先至,即以此二十五日甲子作立春上元,至正月初一日乃行中元,故謂之超也。符頭超越節氣6天。
謂 甲子、己卯、甲午、己酉四上元之符頭未到而節氣先到,則候符頭先日方行節氣。如正月初一日立春,而初五方是甲子,此符頭未到,卻以初一至初四仍行 大寒下元,至初五方行立春上元。故謂之接也。符頭晚節氣4天。
每或四個上元符頭與冬至日或夏至日超神有 超過八日(凡符頭 起算 數到二至為9則置閏),在夏至或者冬至前閏上十五個日數,保留不排除此十五日延續至夏至或冬至日之後。註:二至是指冬至夏至
陰陽二遁,原洪進速。時未節氣,先到遲時。節氣交未來,超接通玄奧,日未來節先來,今日端然在割 裁。雖然節氣已交度,奈何仲日未胚胎。先至節未至,超用未來節氣,有時超起過旬余,所以積余成閏,位二至之前有 閏奇。此時疊積累乘之陽極陰終無定數,因立此閏畢。其餘起法者,於逐年 芒種節上,於大雪前尋之。蓋緣芒種節后是 夏至,則儀逆奇順;大雪之後是 冬至,則儀順而奇逆,陽順陰逆皆此也。
又訣凡節氣或遇甲子、甲午、己卯、己酉,是甲己謂之正授。若不遇,則以官曆挨究共過幾日星當用第幾局,名曰 超接。其造化,每至冬至多是超,至 十二三日又日閏也。
凡符頭 起算 數到二至為9則置閏。
置閏歌歌訣
閏奇閏奇有妙訣,神仙不肯分明說。
甲己二日號符頭,子午卯酉為上元。
寅申巳亥為中元,辰戌丑未下元節。
有時超過近一旬,便當置閏真妙訣。
要知置閏在何時,端在茫種與大雪。
