【《黄帝内经》】气味浓厚的属于阴，气味淡薄的属于阴中之阳；气机浓厚的属于阳，气机淡薄的属于阳中之阴。味道浓厚具有泄下作用，味道淡薄具有通利作用；气机淡薄具有发散透表作用，气机浓厚具有发热作用。（出自《素问·阴阳应象大论》）
【李东垣】风性升发生长，对应气味淡薄的药物，属于阴中之阳，这类药物味薄则能通利。

（脾脏不单独主令一时，而在四季之末各旺十八日，这是坤土的特性，生化十一脏，接受胃的禀赋才能生化。）
天有阴阳，表现为温、凉、寒、热四种气。温热属于天之阳；寒凉属于天之阴。
地有阴阳，表现为辛、甘、淡、酸、苦、咸六种味。辛、甘、淡属于地之阳；酸、苦、咸属于地之阴。
轻清者形成象，味道淡薄，如细茶之类，本乎天的性质趋向于上。重浊者形成形体，味道浓厚，如大黄之类，本乎地的性质趋向于下。
味道淡薄的，属于阴中之阳。味薄则通利，如酸、苦、咸而性平的药物即是。
味道浓厚的，属于阴中之阴。味浓则泄下，如酸、苦、咸而性寒的药物即是。
气味浓厚的，属于阳中之阳。气浓则发热，如辛、甘而性温热的药物即是。
气味淡薄的，属于阳中之阴。气薄则发散，如辛、甘、淡而性平、凉、寒的药物即是。
清阳之气发越于腠理，是清中之清者。清阳之气充实于四肢，是清中之浊者。
浊阴之气归入六腑，是浊中之浊者。浊阴之气走注于五脏，是浊中之清者。
粥，味淡，属于阳中之阴，所以能通利小便。
茶，味苦，属于阴中之阳，所以能清利眼目。
苦味药物多主平降，微寒药物也多主平降；甘辛味药物多主平降；甘寒药物能泻火，苦寒药物能泻湿热，苦甘寒药物能泻血热。
【《黄帝内经》】壮火之气会衰退，少火之气会强盛。壮火消耗元气，元气依赖少火滋养。壮火耗散元气，少火滋生元气（出自《素问·阴阳应象大论》）。所谓壮火，指姜、附子之类的药物；所谓少火，指升麻、葛根之类的药物。
黄帝问：五味的阴阳作用如何？岐伯答：辛、甘味发散属于阳，酸、苦味涌吐泄下属于阴，咸味涌吐泄下属于阴，淡味渗湿泄下属于阳。这六种味道有的收敛有的发散，有的缓和有的急迫，有的燥湿有的润燥，有的软坚有的坚固，根据其对机体的有利作用而使用，调理气机使其平衡。（出自《素问·至真要大论》）
【李东垣】辛味能散结润燥，苦味能燥湿坚阴，咸味能软坚散结，酸味能收敛缓急或收敛发散，甘味能缓解急迫，淡味能通利窍道。
五种辛辣之物：蒜辣心，姜辣颊，葱辣鼻，芥辣眼，蓼辣舌。
【《黄帝内经》】五味所入：酸入肝，辛入肺，苦入心，咸入肾，甘入脾，这称为“五入”（出自《素问·宣明五气篇》）。

[Suwen] Strong flavors belong to Yin, while weak flavors are Yang within Yin; strong qi belongs to Yang, while weak qi is Yin within Yang. Strong flavors induce purgation, while weak flavors promote unblocking; weak qi induces dispersion and excretion, while strong qi generates heat. (From *Suwen: Treatise on the Correspondence of Yin and Yang*)
[Li Dongyuan] Wind promotes growth and rising. Herbs with weak flavors belong to Yang within Yin; their weak flavor promotes unblocking.

(The Spleen does not govern a specific season but prospers for eighteen days at the end of each of the four seasons; this is Kun Earth, which transforms and generates the eleven zang-fu organs, receiving endowment from the Stomach to perform transformation and generation.)
Heaven possesses Yin and Yang, manifested as the four Qi of Warm, Cool, Cold, and Hot. Warm and Hot belong to Heaven's Yang; Cold and Cool belong to Heaven's Yin.
Earth possesses Yin and Yang, manifested as the six Flavors of Pungent, Sweet, Bland, Sour, Bitter, and Salty. Pungent, Sweet, and Bland belong to Earth's Yang; Sour, Bitter, and Salty belong to Earth's Yin.
Light and clear form images; herbs with weak flavors, such as fine tea, follow the nature of Heaven and tend upward. Heavy and turbid form shapes; herbs with strong flavors, such as Dahuang, follow the nature of Earth and tend downward.
Herbs with weak flavors belong to Yang within Yin. Their weak flavor promotes unblocking, exemplified by Sour, Bitter, and Salty flavors that are neutral in temperature.
Herbs with strong flavors belong to Yin within Yin. Their strong flavor induces purgation, exemplified by Sour, Bitter, and Salty flavors that are cold in temperature.
Herbs with strong qi belong to Yang within Yang. Their strong qi generates heat, exemplified by Pungent and Sweet flavors that are warm or hot in temperature.
Herbs with weak qi belong to Yin within Yang. Their weak qi induces dispersion, exemplified by Pungent, Sweet, and Bland flavors that are neutral, cool, or cold in temperature.
Clear Yang emerges in the interstices (Couli); this is the clearest of Clear Yang. Clear Yang fills the four limbs; this is the turbid aspect of Clear Yang.
Turbid Yin returns to the Six Fu Organs; this is the most turbid of Turbid Yin. Turbid Yin travels to the Five Zang Organs; this is the clearest aspect of Turbid Yin.
Porridge, bland in flavor, belongs to Yang within Yin, thus it promotes urination.
Tea, bitter in flavor, belongs to Yin within Yang, thus it clears the eyes.
Bitter herbs generally descend; slightly cold herbs also generally descend; Sweet and Pungent herbs generally descend. Sweet-Cold herbs drain Fire; Bitter-Cold herbs drain Damp-Heat; Bitter-Sweet-Cold herbs drain Blood Heat.
[Suwen] The Qi of Zhuang Huo (Blazing Fire) declines; the Qi of Shao Huo (Lesser Fire) strengthens. Zhuang Huo consumes Qi; Qi nourishes Shao Huo. Zhuang Huo scatters Qi; Shao Huo generates Qi. (From *Suwen: Treatise on the Correspondence of Yin and Yang*). Zhuang Huo refers to herbs like Jiang (Ginger) and Fu (Aconite); Shao Huo refers to herbs like Shengma (Cimicifuga) and Gegen (Pueraria).
The Yellow Emperor asked: How do the five flavors function regarding Yin and Yang? Qibo answered: Pungent and Sweet flavors disperse and emit, belonging to Yang; Sour and Bitter flavors induce vomiting and purgation, belonging to Yin; Salty flavor induces vomiting and purgation, belonging to Yin; Bland flavor promotes permeation and purgation, belonging to Yang. These six flavors either collect or disperse, either relax or tense, either dry or moisten, either soften or harden. They are administered according to what benefits the body, regulating Qi to achieve balance. (From *Suwen: Treatise on the Supreme Truth and Great Essentials*)
[Li Dongyuan] Pungent flavor can dissipate nodules and moisten dryness; Bitter flavor can dry dampness and firm softness; Salty flavor can soften hardness; Sour flavor can astringe and relax or astringe dispersal; Sweet flavor can relieve urgency; Bland flavor can open orifices.
Five pungents: Garlic pungency affects the heart; Ginger pungency affects the cheeks; Scallion pungency affects the nose; Mustard pungency affects the eyes; Polygonum pungency affects the tongue.
[Suwen] The five flavors enter specific organs: Sour enters the Liver, Pungent enters the Lung, Bitter enters the Heart, Salty enters the Kidney, Sweet enters the Spleen. This is called the "Five Entrances." (From *Suwen: Chapter on the Manifestation of Five Qi*)
