Their application is intended to 鈥渧erify鈥� the measurements of the architectural and iconographic object against the dictates of astrology that lay out the conditions of auspiciousness.
The particular 腻测补 (e.g., 辫耻峁补濒补) of all architectural and iconographic objects (settlement, building, image) must be calculated and ascertained. This process is based on the principle of the remainder. An arithmetical formula to be used in each case is stipulated, which engages one of the basic dimensions of the object (breadth, length, or perimeter/circumference). The twelve effects of 腻测补 may all be assumed as auspicious.
