also called the Eagle seat or the Flying Phoenix
The seat is on the tip of a spur (the head), the ridge rises behind it (the body), and a ridge spreads out on each side (the wings) without curling round to the front.
- Traditional seat:
- the head, the tip of the spur
- Traditionally said:
- high aims, a career that spreads its wings (a traditional saying, for reference only)
- Used for
- homes, offices, shops, temples and retreats
- Suits (traditionally)
- founders, people posted abroad, traders — anyone looking to grow outward
- Less suited (traditionally)
- the seat is on a spur tip, open to wind on both sides — not for frail elders to live long.

A named form (喝形) here is a likeness read off the shape of the ground — for reference only, never a verdict. Forms read from the look of hills (Rhinoceros, General…) go no higher than medium; forms that depend on the detail of a hill or on imagination are not read here and need a master on site.
