壬子 壬午
上少阴君火司天,中太角木运,下阳明燥金在泉。运生天气曰小逆,木上生火也,故病亦微。
子午之岁,当少阴君火迁正司天,而太阴湿土,以上年在泉之右间,当升新岁司天之左间。故畏
天冲,木星胜之也。遇壬子、壬午木运之年,壬为阳木有余,其气先天而至。岁运遇木,乃能胜
土,故太阴湿土,升天不前,则为土郁,木之胜也。人病在脾,土郁之发,必待其得位之时而后
作。壬午年,刚柔失守。微甚如见,三年化疫。微至乙酉,甚在甲申,土疫发也。药宜泻黄散,
煎汤量冷,研
五瘟丹,不拘时空心送下。木强民病,则脾胃受抑,为黄胆满闭等症。其运风鼓,其化鸣紊启拆,
其变振拉摧拔,其病支满,肝木强也。
戊子(天符)戊午(太乙天符)
上少阴君火司天,中太征火运,下阳明燥金在泉。运于司天之气相同,曰天符。运与气皆火。
戊午年,运临本气之位,曰岁会。火运临之,午火位也。其运炎暑,其化暄曜郁燠。遇太阳司天
曰热,少阳司天曰暑,少阴司天曰炎暑,皆兼司天之气,而言运也。其变炎烈沸腾,太征之变也。
其病上热血溢,阳火盛也。此二年,多热症而无瘟疫。
甲子 甲午
上少阴君火司天,中太宫土运,下阳明燥金在泉。天气生运曰顺化,火下生土也。当年少病。
其运阴雨,其化柔润时雨。其变振惊飘骤,太宫之变也。其病中满身重,土湿之滞也。子午之年,
阳明燥金当迁正在泉,而太阳寒水,以上年司天之右间,当降为新岁在泉之左间,故畏地阜,土
胜窒之也。水运降地,而土运抑之。遇土运太过,先天而至。甲子甲午年,阳土有余之岁,土运承
之,降而不入。即天
彰黑气,暝暗凄惨。才施黄埃而布湿寒,化令气蒸湿复,令久而不降,伏之化郁。寒郁于上而湿
制之,则脾肾受邪。故民病寒厥,四肢重怠,阴痿少力,天布沉阴,蒸湿间作也。甲子甲午,刚
柔失守。如此三年,变而为大疫也。水气被抑,至三年后必发为水疫。甲子至丙寅,三年首也。
至丁卯,三年后也。药宜泽泻、知母、青黛、元参、连翘、童便各一钱,煎汤量冷,研化五瘟丹,
并青黛末,调服。
庚子 庚午(天刑之年,俱同天符)
上少阴君火司天,中太商金运,下阳明燥金在泉。庚子庚午年,运同司地,曰燥金太过之运,
加地气曰同天符。天刑之年,火下克金也,故曰不相得则病。虽有杂症,而无瘟疫。本年金运太
过,而君火司天制之,则金得其平,所谓坚成之纪。其运凉劲,其化雾露萧 ,其变肃杀凋零,
其病下清。(谓二便清泄,及下体清冷。金气之病也。)
丙子(岁会) 丙午(天气不和之年)
上少阴君火司天,中太羽水运,下阳明燥金在泉。丙子年,运临本气之位,曰岁会,子水位
也。运克天气曰不和。水上克火,故病甚也。杂病虽多,而无瘟疫。其运寒,其化凝惨栗冽,其变
冰雪霜雹。云驰雨府,湿化乃行,时雨乃降。此即阳明司地,燥极而泽之义。民病咳喘,血溢
血泄,鼽嚏目赤 疡,寒厥入胃,心痛腰痛,腹大嗌干肿痛等症。
初之气,客气太阳寒水,加厥阴用事。地气迁,热将去。上年乙亥,少阳终之气,至此已尽。
寒乃始,蛰复藏,水乃冰,霜复降,风乃至,阳气郁,寒水之气客于春前,故其为候如此。民反
周密,关节禁固,腰 (音谁,尻骨。)痛,炎暑将起,中外疮疡。(寒气为病。然少阴君火司
天,又值二之主气,故炎暑将起,中外疮疡。)
二之气,阳气布,风乃行,春气以正,万物应荣,寒气时至,民乃和。风木之客,加于君火
之主,故阳气风行春气,万物荣也。司天君火未盛,故寒气时至,水火应时,故民气和。其病淋,
目赤,气郁于上而热,君火为病也。
三之气,客气君火司天,加于相火之主,故大火行,庶类蕃鲜,火极水复,热极寒生,故寒
气时至。民病气厥心痛,寒热更作,咳喘目赤,二火交炽。
四之气,客主之气皆湿土用事,故为溽暑,大雨时至,寒热互作。民病寒热嗌干黄瘅,鼽衄
渴饮,湿热之病也。
五之气,畏火临,暑反至,阳乃化,万物乃生、乃长、乃荣,民乃康。(畏火,相火,当秋而
阳化,故物荣民康。)
终之气,燥令行,燥金之客,加于寒水之主,金气收,故五之气,余火内格,而为病咳喘,
甚则血溢,寒气数举,则雾 翳,皆金水之化也。
丑未之岁(丁丑 丁未 辛丑 辛未 癸丑 己丑 己未 乙丑 乙未 癸未)
太阴湿土司天,岁气湿化之候。司天者,天之气也。太阳寒水在泉,在泉者,地之气也。湿
土者,足太阴脾经也。脾主中央戊己土,每季寄旺十八日,合为七十二日,以应一岁六六三百六
十之数。太阴司天,土气在天为湿化。凡云雨滋润,津液充实,皆土之化。湿淫于上,故沉阴雨
变。浸渍为伤,故物枯槁。民病 肿痛等症,皆土旺克水,肾经病也。按经脉篇云∶以腰脊头项痛,
为足太阳膀胱病。以饥不欲食,咳唾则有血,心如悬,为足少阴肾经病。肾与膀胱为表里,水为土克,
故诸病皆本于肾。太溪,足少阴肾经脉也,在足内踝后跟骨上动脉应手。水不胜土,则肾气竭,而
太溪绝,死不治。丑未之岁, 虫属土,同天之气,故安静无损。麟虫属水,同地之气,故育。
在泉水盛则火衰,故羽虫胎孕不成。
太阳寒水在泉,寒淫胜于下,则凝肃惨栗。民病少腹控睾,引腰脊,上冲心痛,嗌痛,颔肿,
血见。(寒淫于下,自伤其类则膀胱与肾受之。膀胱居腹,故少腹痛;肾主阴丸,故控睾;太阳
之脉,挟脊抵腰中,故引腰脊;肾脉络心,故上冲心痛;心主血,而寒逼之,故见血。嗌痛颔肿,
为小肠经病,亦水邪侮火而然。)麟虫属水,同其气,故育。羽虫属火,受其制故耗。水土之气
不相合,故 虫不育。太阳寒水在泉,寒在地中,故热毒之物不生。
壬子年、壬午年:
上一年由少阴君火(主管天时的热气)司天,中运为太角木运(木气过盛),下位由阳明燥金(主收敛肃杀的金气)在泉。木运生助司天之火气,称为“小逆”,因为木能生火,所以病情轻微。
在子年和午年,应当是少阴君火迁正成为司天之气,而太阴湿土(主管湿气的主气)作为上年在泉之气的右间气,应当上升为新岁司天之气的左间气。因此它受到天冲星(木星)的克制,因为木星胜过了土星。如果遇到壬子或壬午年,天干壬属阳木且有余气,其气候特征先于时令而至。岁运遇到木气,就能胜过土气,所以太阴湿土之气上升受阻不前,形成“土郁”,这是木气克胜所致。人体脾脏发病,土郁发作,必须等到土气得令之时才会发生。壬午年,刚柔失守(阴阳失调)。病情轻重如前所述,三年后化为疫病。轻者至乙酉年显现,重者在甲申年显现,这是土疫发作。药物宜用泻黄散,煎汤放凉后服用;研碎五瘟丹,不拘时间空腹送服。木气强盛导致民众生病,脾胃受抑制,出现黄疸、腹胀闭塞等症状。其运化表现为风鼓动,其变化表现为鸣响混乱开启,其变异表现为狂风摧折拔起,其病症为肢体胀满,这是肝木过强的表现。
戊子年(天符)、戊午年(太乙天符):
上一年由少阴君火司天,中运为太征火运(火气过盛),下位由阳明燥金在泉。岁运与司天之气相同,称为“天符”。戊午年,岁运临本气之位,称为“岁会”,因为午属火位。其运化表现为炎热暑气,其变化表现为温暖耀眼闷热。遇到太阳寒水司天称为热,遇到少阳相火司天称为暑,遇到少阴君火司天称为炎暑,这些都是结合司天之气而言的岁运。其变异表现为烈火沸腾,这是太征火运的变异。其病症为上焦热血溢出,这是阳火旺盛所致。这两年,多热症而无瘟疫。
甲子年、甲午年:
上一年由少阴君火司天,中运为太宫土运(土气过盛),下位由阳明燥金在泉。天气生助岁运称为“顺化”,因为火生土。当年疾病较少。其运化表现为阴雨连绵,其变化表现为柔和湿润的时雨。其变异表现为震动惊扰飘骤,这是太宫土运的变异。其病症为身体沉重,这是土湿停滞所致。在子午之年,阳明燥金应当迁正成为在泉之气,而太阳寒水作为上年司天之气的右间气,应当下降为新岁在泉之气的左间气,因此它畏惧地阜(土气),被土气胜而窒塞。水运欲降入地下,但被土运抑制。遇到土运太过,先于时令而至。甲子、甲午年是阳土有余的年份,土运承接并抑制水气,导致水气下降而不能入地。此时天空显现黑气,昏暗凄惨。刚施黄埃布湿寒,化令之气蒸腾湿气复返,致使久不下降,伏邪化为郁结。寒郁于上而湿制之,则脾肾受邪。所以民众患病寒厥,四肢沉重倦怠,阳痿无力,天空布满阴沉之气,蒸湿交替发作。甲子、甲午年,刚柔失守。如此三年,变而为大疫。水气被抑制,三年后必发为水疫。从甲子到丙寅为三年之首,至丁卯为三年之后。药物宜用泽泻、知母、青黛、玄参、连翘、童便各一钱,煎汤放凉,研化五瘟丹,并加入青黛末调服。
庚子年、庚午年(天刑之年,俱同天符):
上一年由少阴君火司天,中运为太商金运(金气过盛),下位由阳明燥金在泉。庚子、庚午年,岁运与在泉之气相同,称为燥金太过之运,加在地气之上称为“同天符”。天刑之年,是火在下克制金,所以称为“不相得则病”。虽然有杂症,但没有瘟疫。本年金运太过,而被司天的君火制约,则金气得以平衡,所谓“坚成之纪”。其运化表现为凉爽劲急,其变化表现为雾露萧瑟,其变异表现为肃杀凋零,其病症为下部清泄。(指二便清泄,及下体清冷。这是金气致病。)
丙子年(岁会)、丙午年(天气不和之年):
上一年由少阴君火司天,中运为太羽水运(水气过盛),下位由阳明燥金在泉。丙子年,岁运临本气之位,称为“岁会”,因为子水位。岁运克制司天之气称为“不和”。水上克火,所以病情严重。杂病虽多,但没有瘟疫。其运化表现为寒冷,其变化表现为凝滞悲惨凛冽,其变异表现为冰雪霜雹。云驰雨府,湿化乃行,时雨乃降。这就是阳明司地,燥极而泽的含义。民众患病咳嗽气喘,血溢血泄,鼻塞喷嚏目赤溃疡,寒厥入胃,心痛腰痛,腹大咽喉干燥肿痛等症。
初之气,客气为太阳寒水,加临厥阴风木主事。地气迁移,热气将去。上年乙亥年的少阳终之气,至此已尽。寒气始生,蛰虫复藏,水结冰,霜复降,风至,阳气郁结,寒水之气客于春前,所以气候如此。民众反而周密保暖,关节拘禁固着,腰尻骨痛,炎暑将起,内外疮疡。(寒气致病。然而少阴君火司天,又值二之气的主气,所以炎暑将起,内外疮疡。)
二之气,阳气散布,风乃行,春气端正,万物应时繁荣,寒气时至,民众调和。风木之客气,加临君火之主气,所以阳气风行春气,万物繁荣。司天君火未盛,所以寒气时至,水火应时,所以民气和。其病症为淋证,目赤,气郁于上而热,这是君火致病。
三之气,客气君火司天,加临相火之主气,所以大火运行,各类生物繁茂鲜艳,火极则水复,热极则寒生,所以寒气时至。民众患病气厥心痛,寒热交替发作,咳嗽气喘目赤,二火交炽。
四之气,客主之气皆湿土主事,所以为溽暑,大雨时至,寒热互作。民众患病寒热咽喉干燥黄疸,鼻塞鼻衄口渴饮水,这是湿热之病。
五之气,畏火(相火)临,暑反至,阳气乃化,万物乃生长繁荣,民众安康。(畏火即相火,当秋而阳化,故物荣民康。)
终之气,燥令行,燥金之客气,加临寒水之主气,金气收敛,所以五之气余火内格,而为病咳嗽气喘,甚则血溢,寒气数举,则雾翳,都是金水之化。
丑未年(丁丑 丁未 辛丑 辛未 癸丑 己丑 己未 乙丑 乙未 癸未):
太阴湿土司天,岁气为湿化之候。司天者,是天之气。太阳寒水在泉,在泉者,是地之气。湿土者,是足太阴脾经。脾主中央戊己土,每季寄旺十八日,合为七十二日,以应一岁六六三百六十之数。太阴司天,土气在天为湿化。凡云雨滋润,津液充实,皆土之化。湿淫于上,所以沉阴雨变。浸渍为伤,所以物枯槁。民众患病肿胀疼痛等症,皆是土旺克水,肾经病也。按经脉篇说:以腰脊头项痛,为足太阳膀胱病。以饥不欲食,咳唾则有血,心如悬,为足少阴肾经病。肾与膀胱为表里,水为土克,所以诸病皆本于肾。太溪穴,是足少阴肾经脉,在足内踝后跟骨上动脉应手处。水不胜土,则肾气竭,而太溪脉绝,死不治。丑未年,倮虫属土,同天之气,所以安静无损。麟虫属水,同地之气,所以繁育。在泉水盛则火衰,所以羽虫胎孕不成。
太阳寒水在泉,寒淫胜于下,则凝肃惨栗。民众患病少腹牵引睾丸,引及腰脊,上冲心痛,咽喉痛,颔肿,出血。(寒淫于下,自伤其类则膀胱与肾受之。膀胱居腹,故少腹痛;肾主阴丸,故控睾;太阳之脉,挟脊抵腰中,故引腰脊;肾脉络心,故上冲心痛;心主血,而寒逼之,故见血。咽喉痛颔肿,为小肠经病,亦水邪侮火而然。)麟虫属水,同其气,所以繁育。羽虫属火,受其制所以耗损。水土之气不相合,所以倮虫不育。太阳寒水在泉,寒在地中,所以热毒之物不生。
Ren Zi (Year of Ren Zi) and Ren Wu (Year of Ren Wu):
The Upper position is governed by Shaoyin Junhuo (Ministerial Fire ruling the Heaven Qi), the Middle Yun (Annual Movement) is Taijiao Wood Yun (Excessive Wood Movement), and the Lower position is occupied by Yangming Zaojin (Dry Metal ruling the Earth Qi). The Wood Yun generating the Heaven Qi is called "Xiao Ni" (Minor Rebellion); since Wood generates Fire, the disease is mild.
In Zi and Wu years, Shaoyin Junhuo should advance to govern as the Heaven Qi, while Taiyin Shitu (Damp Earth) acting as the Right Intercalary Qi from the previous year's Earth Qi should ascend to become the Left Intercary Qi for the new year's Heaven Qi. Therefore, it fears Tianchong (Jupiter), as Wood overcomes Earth. If encountering a Ren Zi or Ren Wu year, where Ren represents Excessive Yang Wood with its Qi arriving before the season, the Annual Yun encountering Wood can overcome Earth. Thus, Taiyin Shitu ascends but does not proceed, resulting in "Tu Yu" (Earth Stagnation), caused by Wood's overcoming. Humans suffer spleen diseases; the onset of Earth Stagnation must wait until Earth Qi obtains its proper timing. In Ren Wu year, Gang-Rou (Yin-Yang) fails to maintain order. Depending on severity, it transforms into an epidemic after three years: mild cases manifest in Yi You year, severe cases in Jia Shen year, marking the outbreak of Earth Epidemic. Medicines should include Xiehuang San (Drain Yellow Powder), decocted and taken cool; Wuwendan (Five Plagues Pill) should be ground and taken on an empty stomach at any time. When Wood Qi is strong, people fall ill due to suppressed Spleen and Stomach, presenting symptoms such as jaundice, abdominal fullness, and obstruction. Its movement is like wind drumming, its transformation involves chaotic noises and openings, its variation is violent shaking and uprooting, and its disease is limb fullness, indicating Liver Wood excess.
Wu Zi (Year of Wu Zi, Tian Fu) and Wu Wu (Year of Wu Wu, Taiyi Tian Fu):
The Upper position is governed by Shaoyin Junhuo, the Middle Yun is Taiting Huo Yun (Excessive Fire Movement), and the Lower position is occupied by Yangming Zaojin. When the Yun matches the Heaven Qi, it is called "Tian Fu" (Heaven符/Signature). In Wu Wu year, the Yun arrives at its own positional base, called "Sui Hui" (Year Meeting), as Wu corresponds to the Fire position. Its movement is hot and sultry, its transformation is warm, bright, and stifling. Encountering Taiyang Hanshui Heaven Qi makes it "Re", ShaoYang Xianghuo makes it "Shu", and Shaoyin Junhuo makes it "Yan Shu"; these all refer to the Yun combined with Heaven Qi. Its variation is fierce heat boiling, a change of Taiting. Its disease is upper body hot blood overflow, due to excessive Yang Fire. In these two years, there are many heat syndromes but no epidemics.
Jia Zi (Year of Jia Zi) and Jia Wu (Year of Jia Wu):
The Upper position is governed by Shaoyin Junhuo, the Middle Yun is Taigong Tu Yun (Excessive Earth Movement), and the Lower position is occupied by Yangming Zaojin. When Heaven Qi generates Yun, it is called "Shun Hua" (Smooth Transformation), as Fire generates Earth. Diseases are few that year. Its movement is rainy, its transformation is soft moist timely rain. Its variation is shaking, startling, and sudden drifting, a change of Taigong. Its disease is whole-body heaviness, due to Earth damp stagnation. In Zi and Wu years, Yangming Zaojin should advance to govern as Earth Qi, while Taiyang Hanshui, as the Right Intercalary Qi from the previous year's Heaven Qi, should descend to become the Left Intercary Qi for the new year's Earth Qi. Thus, it fears Difou (Earth Mound), being obstructed by Earth's overcoming. Water Yun descends but is suppressed by Earth Yun. Encountering Excessive Earth Yun arriving early, in Jia Zi and Jia Wu years (excessive Yang Earth), Earth Yun receives and suppresses it, causing descent without entry. The sky shows black Qi, dark and desolate. Just as yellow dust spreads cold and damp, the transformation Qi steams dampness again, delaying descent, leading to latent stagnation. Cold stagnates above while Damp controls it, injuring Spleen and Kidney. People suffer cold jue, heavy and lethargic limbs, impotence and weakness. The sky spreads heavy Yin, with steaming damp alternating. Jia Zi and Jia Wu, Gang-Rou fail to maintain order. After three years, this becomes a great epidemic. Suppressed Water Qi will erupt as Water Epidemic after three years. From Jia Zi to Bing Yin is the first three years; Ding Mao is after three years. Medicine should use Zexie, Zhimu, Qingdai, Xuanshen, Lianqiao, and Tongbian (Child's Urine), each 1 qian, decocted and taken cool; dissolve Wuwendan and mix with Qingdai powder for administration.
Geng Zi (Year of Geng Zi) and Geng Wu (Year of Geng Wu, Tian Xing Year, same as Tian Fu):
The Upper position is governed by Shaoyin Junhuo, the Middle Yun is Taishang Jin Yun (Excessive Metal Movement), and the Lower position is occupied by Yangming Zaojin. In Geng Zi and Geng Wu years, Yun matches Earth Qi, called "Zaojin Taiguo Yun" (Excessive Dry Metal Movement); added to Earth Qi, it is "Tong Tian Fu". Tian Xing year means Fire below overcomes Metal, hence "Bu Xiang De Ze Bing" (Disagreement leads to disease). Although miscellaneous diseases exist, there are no epidemics. This year's Metal Yun is excessive, but controlled by governing Junhuo, so Metal achieves balance, known as "Jian Cheng Zhi Ji" (Record of Firm Completion). Its movement is cool and stiff, its transformation is misty and dewy bleakness, its variation is solemn killing and withering, its disease is lower body clear discharge (referring to clear urination/defecation and cold lower body, a Metal Qi disease).
Bing Zi (Year of Bing Zi, Sui Hui) and Bing Wu (Year of Bing Wu, Weather Disharmonious Year):
The Upper position is governed by Shaoyin Junhuo, the Middle Yun is Taiyu Shui Yun (Excessive Water Movement), and the Lower position is occupied by Yangming Zaojin. In Bing Zi year, Yun reaches its native position, called "Sui Hui", as Zi is Water position. Yun overcoming Heaven Qi is called "Bu He" (Disaccord). Water overcomes Fire, so disease is severe. Though many miscellaneous diseases occur, there are no epidemics. Its movement is cold, its transformation is congealed, miserable, and biting cold, its variation is ice, snow, frost, and hail. Clouds rush to the Rain Mansion, Wet transformation proceeds, timely rain falls. This is the meaning of Yangming ruling Earth, extreme dryness yielding moisture. People suffer cough and asthma, blood overflow and leakage, nasal congestion, sneezing, red eyes, ulcers, cold jue entering Stomach, heart pain, waist pain, abdominal distension, dry painful throat, etc.
First Qi: Guest Qi is Taiyang Hanshui, adding to Jueyin usage. Earth Qi migrates, heat departs. Last year's Yihai ShaoYang final Qi ends here. Cold begins, hibernating creatures hide, water freezes, frost descends, wind arrives, Yang Qi stagnates. Cold Water Qi guests before Spring, hence such weather. People wrap tightly, joints stiffen, sacrum pain, heat rises, internal and external sores (Cold causes disease. However, Shaoyin Junhuo rules Heaven, and it is also the Second Qi Main Qi, so heat rises, causing internal/external sores).
Second Qi: Yang Qi spreads, wind moves, Spring Qi is correct, all things flourish, cold Qi arrives, people harmonize. Wind Wood Guest Qi adds to Junhuo Main Qi, so Yang Qi winds with Spring Qi, things flourish. Governing Junhuo is not yet strong, so cold Qi arrives; Water and Fire correspond to time, so people are harmonious. Disease includes stranguria, red eyes, Qi stagnating above with heat, caused by Junhuo.
Third Qi: Guest Qi Junhuo governs Heaven, adding to Xianghuo Main Qi, so Great Fire moves, all classes multiply and shine. Extreme Fire brings Water back, extreme Heat generates Cold, so Cold Qi arrives. Disease includes Qi jue and heart pain, alternating cold and heat, cough, asthma, red eyes, Two Fires blazing together.
Fourth Qi: Both Guest and Main Qi are Wet Earth functioning, so it is muggy heat, heavy rain arrives, cold and heat alternate. Disease includes cold/heat, dry throat, jaundice, nasal congestion, epistaxis, thirst/drinking, Wet-Heat diseases.
Fifth Qi: Wei Huo (Xianghuo) arrives, heat returns, Yang transforms, all things grow, lengthen, flourish, people are healthy. (Wei Huo is Xianghuo; when Autumn comes, Yang transforms, so things flourish and people are healthy.)
Final Qi: Dry command acts, Dry Metal Guest Qi adds to Cold Water Main Qi, Metal Qi gathers, so residual Fire from Fifth Qi is internally blocked, causing cough/asthma, severe blood overflow. Frequent Cold Qi raises fog/haze, all transformations of Metal and Water.
Chou Wei Years (Ding Chou, Ding Wei, Xin Chou, Xin Wei, Gui Chou, Ji Chou, Ji Wei, Yi Chou, Yi Wei, Gui Wei):
Taiyin Shitu governs Heaven, annual Qi is Wet Transformation. Heaven Qi is Heaven's Qi. Taiyang Hanshui governs Earth, Earth Qi is Earth's Qi. Wet Earth refers to Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian. Spleen governs Central Wu-Ji Earth, prospering 18 days per season, totaling 72 days, corresponding to 360 days of a year. Taiyin governing Heaven, Earth Qi in Heaven is Wet Transformation. All cloud/rain nourishment and fluid enrichment are Earth's transformation. Wet flooding above causes heavy rain changes. Soaking causes damage, so objects wither. People suffer swelling/pain, all due to Earth overwhelming Water, Kidney Meridian disease. According to Jingmai Pian: Waist/spine/head/neck pain indicates Foot Taiyang Bladder disease. Hunger without desire to eat, bloody sputum, heart hanging empty indicates Foot Shaoyin Kidney disease. Kidney and Bladder are exterior-interior; Water overcome by Earth, so all diseases originate in Kidney. Taixi point is Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, located behind medial malleolus on heel bone artery pulsation. If Water cannot overcome Earth, Kidney Qi exhausts, Taixi pulse vanishes, death is incurable. In Chou/Wei years, Luo Chong (Naked Creatures) belong to Earth, matching Heaven Qi, so they remain quiet and unharmed. Lin Chong (Scale/Qilin Creatures) belong to Water, matching Earth Qi, so they breed. Abundant Earth Qi weakens Fire, so Yu Chong (Feathered Creatures) fail to conceive.
Taiyang Hanshui governs Earth, Cold floods below, causing freezing solemnity. People suffer lower abdomen pulling to testicles, drawing to waist/spine, rushing up to heart pain, throat pain, jaw swelling, bleeding (Cold below injures its kind, Bladder and Kidney receive it. Bladder in abdomen causes lower abdominal pain; Kidney governs scrotum, hence pulling testicles; Taiyang meridian flanks spine to waist, hence drawing waist/spine; Kidney meridian connects to Heart, hence rushing heart pain; Heart governs Blood, Cold forces it, hence bleeding. Throat/jaw pain is Small Intestine Meridian disease, also Water evil insulting Fire). Lin Chong belong to Water, matching Qi, so they breed. Yu Chong belong to Fire, controlled by it, so they diminish. Water and Earth Qi do not combine, so Luo Chong do not breed. Taiyang Hanshui governs Earth, Cold in ground, so heat-toxic substances do not generate.
