Short sentences and Ju Men in the Body Palace
Hemingway is known for a spare, restrained style. As a young reporter at The Kansas City Star he absorbed the paper's style guide, "Use short sentences" and "Use vigorous English", which became a foundation for his prose. His Body Palace falls in the Wealth Palace, held by Ju Men (Wang). Ju Men governs speech, and in the Wang position words land precisely and carry weight; the Body Palace is what one grows into over a lifetime. A life spent working on sentences fits Ju Men (Wang) in his Body Palace.
Source ↗The Sun Also Rises, 1926
In 1926 (nominal age 28) his first novel, The Sun Also Rises, was published. He was in the Decade Luck for nominal ages 26–35, whose Four Transformations send Tian Tong with Hua Quan (Transformation of Power) into his natal Life Palace; in the annual transformations of that Bing Yin year, Tian Tong also takes Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) into the natal Life Palace. The main star of his Life Palace carrying both Hua Quan and Hua Lu in one year, pushed to the front and with gains to show, lines up with his stepping out as a novelist that year.

He started out as a journalist; in 1921 he went to Paris as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star and filed 88 stories in his first 20 months, before turning fully to fiction. His Career Palace holds Tian Ji (Xian) and is flanked by Wen Chang and Wen Qu, forming Chang Qu Jia, the two literary stars on either side. Wen Chang and Wen Qu are stars of reading and writing; flanking the palace of work, they surround his work with words. A life earned by writing matches this flanked Career Palace.

He moved to Paris in 1921 and stayed until 1928, went to Spain in 1937 to report on the civil war, and from 1939 made his home in Havana, Cuba, until 1960, spending a long stretch of his life outside the United States. His Travel Palace holds Tai Yin (Wang) with Zuo Fu. The Travel Palace covers life away from home; a bright Tai Yin with Zuo Fu means settling in well abroad, with people to lend a hand. His long years living overseas echo this.
