碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 漢學應用研究所 === 106 === There are many ways to apply the law of I-ching（the book of change) in traditional Chinese culture. Among all, Golden Dragon Formula is one of the methods to apply the law of I-ching in Feng Shui study, which is also a relatively direct and quick way to determine whether feng shui is in alignment and harmonious in the geomancy perspective. Golden Dragon Formula came from Luoshu, which is closely linked to Hetu. This article takes ancient books, such as I-ching Zheng Shi and Yi Dazhuan, as the main basis and both early and modern annotations as reference. Explanations of the Golden Dragon Formula that offered in ancient books and scriptures were scarce and could only be found in the Green Satchel Continuation and the Green Satchel Profound Words. Even so, the amount of explanation was few and the context was ambiguous. As I have studied and applied the theory for over 10 years, I would like to offer my analysis and comment based on my long-term experience and understanding, along with the verification I observed through thousands of individual cases. The context can be classified as Golden Dragon destiny theory, the origins of the length of each fortune, the timing of each fortune, and the principles of applying four Direct Spirit Directions and four Indirect Spirit Directions on the Bagua map based on the intensity of each direction. As for the occurrence of good and bad predictions, it is the result of the accumulation of experiences for more than 20 years. These are relatively recent discoveries in this study, and may serve as assistance from a more academic point of view in the I-ching Society. Key words: golden dragon Formula, geomancy, Indirect Spirits Direct Spirit , good or bad fortune, destiny。
