气之散达也。寒乃时至,水之气也,凉雨并起,金之气也。一岁之中,木火主气,兼五气也。民病寒中,
外发疮疡,内为泄满,乃外热内寒,表里不和也。惟圣人遇之,能使热以内寒,内寒以清外热,故和而
不争。苟非圣人,则寒往热复,热往寒复,往复之作,民病为寒为热,疟,寒热病也。泄,正气虚也。聋
瞑,窍不利也。呕吐,中土虚也。上怫肿色变,气血皆虚也。此寒热不愈,而有如是之病也。
初之气,地气迁,风胜乃摇,寒乃去,候乃火温,草木早荣,
寒来不杀,温病乃起,其病气怫于上,血溢目赤,咳逆头痛,血崩
胁满,肤腠中疮。
杀,去声。初之客气加临,始于在泉之地气,故地气迁,乃厥阴之右,少阴之气也。初之主气,厥阴
风木,故风胜乃摇,寒乃去。少阴客气加临,故候乃大温,而草木早荣。虽有寒气之来,不能杀君火之热,非
时而热,故温。病乃起,其病气怫于上也。血溢目赤,咳逆,头痛,血崩胁满,肤腠中疮,皆为温病。
二之气,火反郁,白埃四起,云趋雨府,风不胜湿,雨乃零,民乃康。其病
热郁于上,咳逆呕吐,疮发于中,胸胁不利,头痛,身热,昏愦脓疮。
二之客气加临,乃太阴湿土,故主气之君火反郁也,白埃四起,土之气也。云趋雨府,湿之气也。
风木之气,所以胜湿,今埃起云趋,风不胜湿而雨乃零,始则火反郁,至此雨霖,则民乃康。
当火郁之时,其病热郁于上,则咳逆呕吐,疮发于中,则胸胁不利,郁于上,则头痛,
发于中,则身热;头痛,则昏愦;身热,则脓疮。
三之气,天政布,炎暑至,少阳上临,雨乃涯,民乃热中,聋瞑,血溢脓疮,咳
呕鼽衄,渴,嚏欠,喉痹目赤,善暴死。

阳客气加临,则火土相生,故雨乃涯。民乃热中,火气盛也;聋瞑,火亢水极也。血溢脓疮,
火气盛也。咳呕鼽衄,渴,嚏欠,火刑金也。喉痹目赤,厥阴少阳之气不和也。水不济火,金受火刑,
阴阳不和,故善暴死。
四之气,凉乃至,炎暑间化,白露降,民气和平,其病满,身重。
四之客气加临,乃阳明燥金,金气清凉,故凉乃至。少阳相火主气,故炎暑间化,于时为秋,
故白露降,炎暑间化,而白露降,故民气和平。若感凉露之湿气,则其病中满而身重。
五之气,阳乃去,寒乃来,雨乃降,气门乃闭,刚木早凋,民避寒邪,君子周密。
五之客气加临,乃太阳寒水,故阳气去,寒乃来,雨乃降,寒
主凝敛,故气门乃闭。其时刚木早凋,民避寒邪,君子周密,可以无病。
终之气,地气正,风乃至,万物反生,霜雾以行,其病关闭不禁,心痛,阳气不藏而咳。
终之客气加临,乃厥阴风木,与在泉地气相符,故地气正。正,和平也。厥阴,风也,故风乃至。地气
正而风至,故万物反生,于时为冬,故霜雾以行,太阳寒水,主终之气,其病关闭不禁。禁,犹止也。心
痛,寒气盛也。阳气不藏而咳,言太阳阳气,不藏于水府,则膀胱水气,不濡毛窍而为咳。

气的疏散通达。寒气按时令到来,这是水的气化表现;凉雨同时兴起,这是金的气化表现。一年之中,木火为主气,兼有五种气化变化。百姓容易患寒中病(寒邪伤及脾胃),体表发为疮疡,体内出现泄泻和胀满,这是外热内寒、表里不和的表现。只有圣人遇到这种情况,能使内寒转化为外热的清解,用外热的清解来消除内寒,所以能与自然和谐相处而不发生冲突。如果不是圣人,就会寒去热来、热去寒来,寒热往复交替发作,百姓患病表现为寒证或热证,如疟疾(寒热往来的疾病);泄泻是因为正气虚弱;耳聋目眩,是孔窍不利;呕吐,是中焦脾胃虚弱;上部气机郁滞肿胀且面色改变,是气血都虚弱的表现。这就是寒热之邪久留不去,从而产生上述病症的原因。
初之气,地气迁移,风气偏胜导致万物摇动,寒气消退,气候转为火样的温热,草木提前繁荣。虽然有寒气来临,但不能克制君火的热势,非时节的温热导致温病兴起。其病症表现为气机郁滞于上部,血液上溢、眼睛发红,咳嗽气逆、头痛,崩漏,胁肋胀满,皮肤腠理间生疮。
杀,读作去声。初之客气加临,始于在泉的地气,所以地气迁移,对应的是厥阴风木之后,少阴君火之气。初之主气是厥阴风木,所以风气偏胜导致摇动,寒气消退。少阴客气加临,所以气候变得大温,草木提前繁荣。虽然有寒气来,但不能克制君火的热势,因为不是正常的季节却出现温热,所以称为温病。温病兴起,其病气郁滞于上部。血液上溢、眼睛发红,咳嗽气逆,头痛,崩漏,胁肋胀满,皮肤腠理生疮,都属于温病的范畴。
二之气,火气反而被郁遏,白色的雾气四处升起,云层聚集向雨府,风气不能胜湿,雨水开始降落,百姓因此安康。其病症表现为热邪郁滞于上部,引起咳嗽气逆、呕吐;疮疡发于体内,导致胸胁不利;郁滞于上则头痛;发于中则身热;头痛则昏沉迷糊;身热则化为脓疮。
二之客气加临,是太阴湿土,所以主气的君火反而被郁遏。白色雾气四起,是土的气化表现。云层聚集向雨府,是湿气的气化表现。风木之气本应胜湿,如今埃尘扬起、云层聚集,风气不胜湿气而雨水降落。起初火气被郁遏,至此雨水连绵,百姓才得以安康。当火气被郁遏之时,其病症为热邪郁滞于上部,则咳嗽气逆、呕吐;疮疡发于中焦,则胸胁不利;郁滞于上,则头痛;发于中焦,则身热;头痛,则昏沉迷糊;身热,则化为脓疮。
三之气,天政布散,炎热暑气到来,少阳相火上临,雨水停止,百姓体内感到燥热,耳聋目眩,血液上溢、生脓疮,咳嗽、呕吐、鼻塞流涕、鼻出血,口渴,打喷嚏、呵欠,喉痹、眼睛发红,容易发生突然死亡。
三之客气加临,是少阳相火,少阳司天,所以天政布散;少阳加临,所以炎热暑气到来。三之气本是太阴主时,但少阳客气加临,火土相生,所以雨水停止。百姓体内感到燥热,是火气旺盛的表现;耳聋目眩,是火亢盛而肾水极虚的表现。血液上溢、生脓疮,是火气旺盛的表现。咳嗽、呕吐、鼻塞流涕、鼻出血、口渴、打喷嚏、呵欠,是火克金的表现。喉痹、眼睛发红,是厥阴与少阳之气不和的表现。肾水不能济助心火,肺金受火刑克,阴阳不和,所以容易发生突然死亡。
四之气,凉气到来,炎热暑气中间转化,白露降落,百姓气息平和。其病症表现为胀满、身体沉重。
四之客气加临,是阳明燥金,金气清凉,所以凉气到来。少阳相火为主气,所以炎热暑气中间转化。此时节像秋天,所以白露降落。炎热暑气中间转化,白露降落,所以百姓气息平和。如果感受了凉露的湿气,就会患上中焦胀满而身体沉重的病。
五之气,阳气离去,寒气到来,雨水降落,汗孔关闭,刚硬的树木早早凋落,百姓躲避寒邪,君子生活周密谨慎。
五之客气加临,是太阳寒水,所以阳气离去,寒气到来,雨水降落。寒主凝敛,所以汗孔关闭。此时刚硬的树木早早凋落,百姓躲避寒邪,君子生活周密谨慎,就可以不得病。
终之气,地气纯正,风气到来,万物反常生长,霜雾流行。其病症表现为二便闭塞不禁,心痛,阳气不能潜藏而咳嗽。
终之客气加临,是厥阴风木,与在泉的地气相符,所以地气纯正。“正”,指和平。厥阴主风,所以风气到来。地气纯正而风至,所以万物反常生长。此时节为冬季,所以霜雾流行。太阳寒水主终之气,其病症为二便闭塞不禁。“禁”,通“止”。心痛,是寒气盛的表现。阳气不能潜藏而咳嗽,是说太阳阳气不藏于水府,则膀胱水气不能濡润皮毛而为咳。
抑制其运气,资助其所不胜(即克制运气的五行),必须折损其郁结之气,先取化源(生化之源),这样暴发的灾祸就不会产生,严重的疾病就不会兴起。所以该年适宜食用咸味、辛味,也适宜酸味;采用渗利、泄下的方法,或用汤液浸渍、发汗的方法。观察气候的寒温,以调节过度的部分。与风热同气的年份,多用寒凉化制;与风热异气的年份,少用寒凉化制。使用热药要避开热令,使用温药要避开温令,使用寒药要避开寒令,使用凉药要避开凉令,饮食调理也应遵循同样的法则。这就是治病的道理。如果有假象,则反过来处理。违背这个原则,就是致病的原因。
运气太过,应当抑制其运气;此强彼弱,应当资助其所不胜。郁结是复气的根基,所以必须折损其郁结之气。想要折损郁结之气,先取化源来资助它。上文说先资助化源,是为了补益;这里说先取化源,也是取而补益之意。这样,庶几暴发的灾祸不会发生,严重的疾病不会兴起。火气在上,木气在下,所以该年适宜咸味、辛味。咸味能泻火,辛味能平木。少阳司天,中见厥阴,在泉也是厥阴。厥阴属木,其味酸,所以又适宜酸味。或者用渗利、泄下的方法,以平抑内部邪气;或者用浸渍、发汗的方法,以清解外部邪气。更应当观察气候的寒温,以调节过度的部分。同在泉、司天的风热之气相同,则多用寒凉的气味来制约化解。与风热之气不同,则少用寒凉的气味来制约化解。少阳属火热,所以先说“用热远热”,与上文意思相同。
黄帝说:好。太阴司天的政令是怎样的?岐伯说:这是丑年和未年的纪年。太阴,少角运,太阳,清热胜复相同,同于正宫运。丁丑、丁未年,其运为风、清、热。少角、太征、少宫、太商、少羽。
丑未年属于太阴司天。黄帝问太阴的政令,所以说丑未之纪。太阴在上(司天),少角木运在中(岁运),太阳在下(在泉)。清热胜复相同,意思是少角木运不及,开始时金之清气胜,随后火之热气复。胜与复,共同主宰一年的气化。太阴土气司天,木运不及,土不受木制约,所以同于正宫运。太阴司天,少角木运在中,是丁丑、丁未之年。其运为风,是角木的运。清是金的胜气,热是火的复气。少角主运,所以先说少角,最后说少羽,解释同前文的阳明篇。
太阴,少征运,太阳,寒雨胜复相同。癸丑、癸未年,其运为热、寒、雨。少征、太宫、少商、太羽、太角。
上文讲少角,这里讲少征。癸为火运不及,所以上太阴,中少征,下太阳。寒雨胜复相同,意思是火运不及,开始时水寒之气胜,随后土之雨气复。胜与复,共同主宰一年的气化。太阴司天,火运在中,是癸丑、癸未之年。其运为热,是征火的运。寒是水之胜气,雨是土之复气。少征主运,所以先说少征,解释同阳明篇。
太阴,少宫运,太阳,风清胜复相同,同于正宫运。己丑年为太乙天符,己未年为太乙天符。其运为雨、风、清。少宫、太商、少羽、少角、太征。
少征之后,接着讲少宫。己为土运不及,所以上太阴,中少宫,下太阳。风清胜复相同,意思是土运不及,开始时木之风气胜,随后金之清气复。胜与复,共同主宰一年的气化。少宫土运不及,上临太阴,所以同于正宫运。己,是土运。土运临丑未,是为岁会。土运之岁,上见太阴,是为天符。天符合岁会,是为太乙天符,所以己丑、己未都是太乙天符。其运为雨,是宫土的运。风是木之胜气,清是金之复气。首言少宫,终言太征,解释同阳明篇。
太阴,少商运,太阳,热寒胜复相同。乙丑、乙未年,其运为凉、热、寒。少商、太羽、太角、少征、少宫。
少宫之后,接着讲少商。乙为金运不及,所以上太阴,中少商,下太阳。热寒胜复相同,意思是金运不及,开始时火之热气胜,随后水之寒气复。胜与复,共同主宰一年的气化。少商金运,上临太阴,是乙丑、乙未之年。其运为凉,是金的运。热是火之胜气,寒是水之复气。少商主运,所以先说少商,解释同阳明篇。
太阴,少羽运,太阳,雨风胜复相同,同于正宫运。辛丑、戊未年,其运为寒、雨、风。少羽、少角、太征、少宫、太商。
少商之后,接着讲少羽。辛为水运不及,所以上太阴,中少羽,下太阳。雨风胜复相同,意思是水运不及,开始时土之雨气胜,随后木之风气复。胜与复,共同主宰一年的气化。上临太阴,土胜木复,所以同于正宫运。少羽水运,太阴司天,是辛丑、辛未之年。其运为寒,是羽水的运。雨是土之胜气,风是木之复气。少羽主运,所以先说少羽,解释同阳明篇。
凡是这些太阴司天的政令,气化运行落后于天时,阴气专权,阳气退避,大风时常刮起。天气下降,地气上腾,原野昏暗,白雾四起,云奔向南极,寒雨频繁到来,万物在夏末秋初成熟。百姓易患温湿病,腹部胀满、身体沉重、愤闷、浮肿、痞塞、气逆,寒厥、拘挛急迫。湿寒合德,黄黑雾气昏暗,流行于气交之中,上应镇星(土星)和辰星(水星)。其政令肃杀,其命令寂静。其对应的谷物颜色为玄黑。所以阴气凝结于上,寒气积聚于下。寒水胜火,则形成冰雹。阳光不能发挥作用,杀气于是横行。所以有余的年份适宜高地,不足的年份适宜低地;有余的年份适宜晚熟,不足的年份适宜早熟。这是土地的便利和气化的规律,百姓的疾病也随之变化。间谷称为“太”。
昏与瞀同音,读作茂。数,读作朔。差,读作雌。以下皆同。丑未年为太阴司天之政。凡是丁丑、丁未,癸丑、癸未,己丑、己未,乙丑、乙未,辛丑、辛未,都是主运不及的年份,所以气化运行落后于天时。太阴司天,所以阴气专权,阳气退避。土运不及而木气胜,所以大风时常刮起。天气下降,是司天之气的表现。地气上腾,是在泉之气的表现。原野昏暗,白雾四起,是土湿之气的表现。云奔向南极,寒雨频繁到来,是水寒之气的表现。差夏,指夏末秋初。万物本该在夏季成熟,直到差夏才成熟。如果百姓患寒湿病,则有腹部胀满、身体沉重、愤闷、浮肿、痞塞、气逆的病;如果只有寒没有湿,则为寒厥病。寒厥,表现为拘挛急迫。所以说拘急。司天在泉之气,两相交合,则湿与寒合德。湿寒合德,则黄黑雾气昏暗。合德的景象,出现在气交之中,所以流行于气交。上应土之镇星、水之辰星。阴气专权,所以政令肃杀;阳气退避,所以命令寂静。百姓食用岁谷,所以谷物色玄黑。太阴司天,所以阴气凝结于上;太阳在泉,所以寒气积聚于下。寒水之气制胜火气,则只有阴没有阳,而形成冰雹。寒水胜火,则阳光不能发挥作用,结成冰雹,杀气于是横行。地势高的地方气寒,生物生长迟缓;地势低的地方气温,生物生长早。岁气有余,则气先至,所以有余的年份,适宜在地势高的地方,生物生长迟而气先至,不过于迟。岁气不足,则气后至,所以不足的年份,适宜在地势低的地方,生物生长早而气后至,不过于早。凡是有余的年份,其气早至,万物的生长宜晚;不足的年份,其气后至,万物的生长宜早。夫有余宜高,不及宜下,是土地的便利;有余宜晚,不及宜早,是气机的变化。人是万物之长,体同天地,所以民气也顺从它,感受司天左右之间气而生成,称为间谷。太阴司天,寅申年少阳居右,子午年少阴居左,子午寅申,都是阳年主太,所以间谷成熟,命名为太。
初之气,地气迁移,寒气消退,春气正当令,风气到来,生气布散,万物繁荣,百姓气息条达舒畅。风湿相搏,雨水推迟,百姓易患血液上溢,筋脉拘强,关节不利,身体沉重、筋痿。
强,读上声。初之寒气加临,是左间之右,厥阴之气。初之气始于春季,所以寒气消退。春气正当令,厥阴主风,所以风气到来。春气生而风气布散,所以说“生布”。春生风布,所以万物繁荣,百姓气息条达舒畅。风湿相薄,是指加临之气属风,与司天之湿气相搏。湿不胜风,所以雨水推迟。百姓患血液上溢,筋络拘强,是风病;关节不利,身体沉重、筋痿,是湿病。
二之气,大火正当令,万物承受其化育,百姓安康。其病症为温疫盛行,远近的人都受苦。湿热蒸腾相薄,雨水按时降落。
二之气的主气是少阴君火,所以大火正当令。火生土,所以万物承受化育,百姓安康。温疫盛行,是火热病;远近的人都受苦,是气盛的表现。蒸,指热。湿与热相薄,是司天湿气与加临热气相搏。湿热相薄,则火土相生,所以雨水按时降落。
三之气,天政布散,湿气下降,地气上升,雨水按时降落,寒气随之而来。感受寒湿,则百姓患身体沉重、浮肿,胸腹胀满。
三之气的主气是太阴湿土,气合司天,所以天政布散,湿气下降。在泉的地气上腾,则雨水按时降落。地气是太阳寒水之气,所以气腾雨降,寒气随之而来。此时感受寒湿,则百姓患身体沉重、浮肿,胸腹胀满。
四之气,畏火(相火)临,湿热蒸化,地气上升,天气痞隔不通,早晚寒风大作,蒸热相薄,草木烟雾凝结,湿气不流通,于是白露阴布,成就秋令。百姓患腠理热,血液突然溢出,疟疾,心腹满热,胪胀,严重时浮肿。
痞,读批,上声,下同。畏火,指相火。四之气的主气是少阳相火,所以说畏火临。太阴湿气司天,少阳相火加临,所以湿热蒸化,犹言湿热相蒸,湿化为热。湿热蒸化,而寒水的地气上腾,则天气也痞隔不通。痞隔,意为闭塞不通。早晚寒风,是秋季之气。蒸热相薄,是火加临。早晚寒风,则草木烟雾凝结;蒸热相薄,则湿气不流通。当此时节,白露阴布,成就秋令。百姓患腠理热,血液突然溢出,是火病;疟疾,心腹满热,胪胀,是湿热病;严重时浮肿,是寒湿病。这是湿气司天,寒气在泉,火气加临,而产生上述病症。
五之气,肃杀的命令已经施行,寒露下降,霜早早降落,草木枯黄凋落,寒气侵袭人体,君子生活周密,百姓患皮肤病变。
五之气的主气是阳明燥金,金气肃杀,所以肃杀的命令已施行。肃杀令行,则寒露下降,霜早早降落,草木枯黄凋落,寒气侵袭人体。此时,君子生活周密,则无病;百姓若不周密,则患皮腠之病。
终之气,寒气大兴,湿气大化,霜积累,阴气凝结,水结成坚冰,阳光不能发挥作用。感受寒气,则百姓患关节僵硬固定,腰骶疼痛。寒湿推荡于气交之中,而成为疾病。
终之气的主气是太阳寒水,寒气盛,所以寒气大兴;水气盛,所以湿气大化,犹言湿化为水。寒极而水不行,则霜积累,阴气凝结。霜积,则水结成坚冰;阴凝,则阳光不能发挥作用。此时感受寒气,则百姓患关节僵硬固定,腰骶疼痛。“”指脊尻。关节僵硬而腰骶疼痛,是寒湿病,所以说寒湿。终之气的主气寒气,都是太阳之寒,未曾有湿。只有三之气的主气寒气,有太阴之湿。所以这种寒湿病,推演到气交之时而成为疾病。
必须折损其郁结之气,而取化源,补益岁气,不让邪气胜越。食用岁谷以保全真气,食用间谷以保养精气。所以该年适宜用苦味,燥湿温寒。病情严重的,用发汗或泄下的方法。如果不发汗不泄下,则湿气外溢,肌肉溃烂、皮肤破裂,水血交流。必须资助阳火,使其抵御严寒。根据气化的异同,多少调整其方制。与寒同者,用热化;与湿同者,用燥化;异者少用,同者多用。使用凉药要避开凉令,使用寒药要避开寒令,使用温药要避开温令,使用热药要避开热令,饮食调理也应遵循同样的法则。假象则反之。这就是治病的道理。违背这个原则,就会生病。
郁结是复气的根基,所以必须折损其郁结之气,先取化源来资助它。岁运不及,则补益岁气,不让邪气胜越。食用玄色的岁谷,以保全真气;食用左右间的间谷,以保养精气。寒湿之岁,适宜用火味之苦以燥湿,用火味之苦以温寒。寒甚的,更应当发汗;湿甚的,更应当泄下。苦寒湿甚而不发不泄,则湿气外溢,导致肌肉溃烂、皮肤破裂。肌肉溃烂、皮肤破裂,则水血交流。赞,是辅助的意思。
The dispersal and free flow of Qi. Cold arrives according to the season; this is the Qi of Water. Cool rain rises simultaneously; this is the Qi of Metal. Throughout the year, Wood and Fire govern the main Qi, encompassing the five phases of Qi. The people suffer from cold in the middle jiao (cold pathogen injuring the spleen and stomach), external sores and ulcers, and internal diarrhea and fullness. This represents external heat and internal cold, with disharmony between the exterior and interior. Only the sage, when encountering this, can transform internal cold into clearing external heat, and use the clearing of external heat to dissipate internal cold, thus maintaining harmony without conflict. If not a sage, cold retreats and heat returns, heat retreats and cold returns; the alternation of these causes the people to suffer from cold or heat conditions, such as malaria (a disease characterized by alternating chills and fever); diarrhea indicates deficiency of righteous Qi; deafness and blurred vision indicate obstruction of the orifices; vomiting indicates deficiency of the central earth (spleen/stomach); stagnation and swelling in the upper body with color changes indicate deficiency of both Qi and Blood. These are the diseases arising from persistent cold and heat pathogens.
During the first phase of Qi, the Earth Qi migrates; wind prevails causing shaking, cold departs, and the climate becomes warm like Fire, leading to early flourishing of grass and trees. Although cold arrives, it cannot suppress the heat of Sovereign Fire; non-seasonal warmth initiates warm diseases. The pathology involves Qi stagnating in the upper jiao, blood effusion, red eyes, cough with counterflow qi, headache, metrorrhagia, hypochondriac fullness, and sores within the skin and pores.
"Sha" is pronounced as "qu". The initial guest Qi overlays starting from the Earth Qi at the lower position, hence Earth Qi migration corresponds to the right of Jueyin Wind-Wood, transitioning to Shaoyin Sovereign Fire. The initial host Qi is Jueyin Wind-Wood, hence wind prevails causing shaking and cold departs. With Shaoyin guest Qi overlaying, the climate becomes significantly warm, causing early flourishing of vegetation. Although cold arrives, it cannot suppress the heat of Sovereign Fire; since it is not the proper season for heat, it is termed "warm." Warm diseases arise, with pathology involving Qi stagnating in the upper jiao. Blood effusion, red eyes, cough with counterflow qi, headache, metrorrhagia, hypochondriac fullness, and sores in the skin and pores all belong to warm diseases.
During the second phase of Qi, Fire Qi is conversely constrained; white dust rises everywhere, clouds gather toward the Rain House, wind fails to overcome dampness, and rain begins to fall, bringing relief to the people. The pathology involves heat constrained in the upper jiao, causing cough with counterflow qi and vomiting; sores erupt internally, causing chest and hypochondriac discomfort; constraint in the upper leads to headache; eruption in the middle leads to fever; headache causes dizziness and confusion; fever leads to suppurative sores.
The guest Qi of the second phase is Taiyin Damp-Earth, causing the Host Qi's Sovereign Fire to be conversely constrained. White dust rising is the manifestation of Earth Qi. Clouds gathering toward the Rain House is the manifestation of Dampness. Wood-Wind Qi should overcome dampness, but now with dust rising and clouds gathering, wind fails to overcome dampness, and rain falls. Initially, Fire was constrained; now with continuous rain, the people find relief. During the time of Fire constraint, the pathology is heat constrained in the upper jiao, causing cough and vomiting; sores in the middle cause chest and hypochondriac discomfort; constraint above causes headache; eruption in the middle causes fever; headache causes dizziness; fever causes suppurative sores.
During the third phase of Qi, Heavenly Administration spreads, scorching heat arrives, Shaoyang Minister Fire overlays, rain ceases, and the people feel internal heat. They suffer from deafness and blurred vision, blood effusion, suppurative sores, cough, vomiting, nasal congestion, epistaxis, thirst, sneezing, yawning, throat bi, red eyes, and sudden death.
The guest Qi of the third phase is Shaoyang Minister Fire. As Shaoyang governs the Heaven position, Heavenly Administration spreads. With Shaoyang overlaying, scorching heat arrives. The third phase is governed by Taiyin as Host Qi, but with Shaoyang Guest Qi overlaying, Fire and Earth generate each other, so rain ceases. Internal heat indicates excessive Fire Qi; deafness and blurred vision indicate extreme Fire hyperactivity and Kidney Water depletion. Blood effusion and suppurative sores indicate excessive Fire Qi. Cough, vomiting, nasal symptoms, thirst, sneezing, and yawning indicate Fire punishing Metal. Throat bi and red eyes indicate disharmony between Jueyin and Shaoyang Qi. Water fails to balance Fire, Metal suffers Fire punishment, Yin and Yang are disharmonious, leading to sudden death.
During the fourth phase of Qi, cool air arrives, scorching heat transforms intermittently, white dew descends, and the people's Qi is peaceful. The pathology involves fullness and heavy body.
The guest Qi of the fourth phase is Yangming Dry-Metal. Metal Qi is cool, hence cool air arrives. Shaoyang Minister Fire is the Host Qi, so scorching heat transforms intermittently. The season resembles autumn, hence white dew descends. Intermittent transformation of heat and descent of dew bring peace to the people's Qi. If one contracts the dampness of cool dew, one suffers from middle jiao fullness and heaviness.
During the fifth phase of Qi, Yang Qi departs, Cold arrives, rain descends, the pores close, rigid wood withers early, people avoid cold pathogens, and gentlemen act with caution.
The guest Qi of the fifth phase is Taiyang Cold-Water. Hence Yang Qi departs, Cold arrives, and rain descends. Cold governs coagulation and constriction, hence the pores close. Rigid wood withers early; people avoid cold pathogens, and gentlemen act cautiously, avoiding illness.
During the final phase of Qi, Earth Qi is pure, wind arrives, things grow contrary to nature, frost and fog prevail. The pathology involves closure dysfunction (incontinence), heart pain, and cough due to unhidden Yang Qi.
The guest Qi of the final phase is Jueyin Wind-Wood, matching the Earth Qi at the lower position, hence Earth Qi is pure ("pure" means harmonious). Jueyin governs wind, hence wind arrives. Pure Earth Qi and arriving wind cause things to grow contrary to nature. The season is winter, hence frost and fog prevail. Taiyang Cold-Water governs the final phase. The pathology is closure dysfunction ("jin" means stop). Heart pain indicates excessive Cold. Cough due to unhidden Yang Qi means Taiyang Yang Qi does not hide in the Water Palace, so Bladder Water Qi fails to moisten hair follicles, causing cough.
Suppress the Luck Qi, assist what overcomes it, must break its constrained Qi, first obtain the Source of Transformation. Violent disasters will not arise, severe diseases will not occur. Therefore, the year suits Salty and Pungent flavors, also Sour flavors; employ draining, purging, soaking, and diaphoretic methods. Observe the Qi's cold/warmth to regulate excess. For years similar to Wind-Heat, use more Cold transformations; for years different from Wind-Heat, use less Cold transformation. Use Heat far from Heat seasons, Warm far from Warm, Cold far from Cold, Cool far from Cool. Diet should follow the same method. This is the principle. If there is a false condition, reverse it. Reversing this leads to disease.
If Luck is excessive, suppress the Luck Qi. If one is strong and the other weak, assist what overcomes it. Constraint is the basis for rebound; thus, one must break the constrained Qi. To break constrained Qi, first obtain the Source of Transformation to nourish it. The previous text mentioned nourishing the Source to benefit; here, obtaining the Source also benefits. Thus, violent disasters will not arise, severe diseases will not occur. Fire Qi is above, Wood Qi is below; hence the year suits Salty and Pungent. Salty drains Fire, Pungent pacifies Wood. Shaoyang governs Heaven, revealing Jueyin; the lower position is also Jueyin. Jueyin is Wood, flavor Sour; hence Sour is suitable. Or use draining/purging to pacify the interior; or soaking/diaphoresis to clear the exterior. Further observe Qi's cold/warmth to regulate excess. For those sharing the Wind-Heat Qi of the Lower/Heaven positions, use more Cold/Cool flavors to control. For those differing, use less. Shaoyang is Fire-Heat; hence "Use Heat far from Heat" is stated first, consistent with the previous text.
The Emperor said: Excellent. What is the administration of Taiyin? Qibo said: It is the cycle of Chou and Wei years. Taiyin, Shaojiao Luck, Taiyang, Qing-Re (Clearing-Heat) Victory/Rebound same, identical to Zhenggong (Correct Palace). Ding Chou, Ding Wei years: Luck is Wind, Clearing, Heat. Shaojiao, Tai Zheng, Shao Gong, Tai Shang, Shao Yu.
Chou and Wei belong to Taiyin. The Emperor asks about Taiyin's administration, hence Chou-Wei cycle. Taiyin is above (Heaven), Shaojiao Wood Luck is in the middle, Taiyang is below. "Qing-Re Victory/Rebound same" means Shaojiao Wood Luck is deficient. Initially, Metal's Clear Qi wins; subsequently, Fire's Heat rebounds. Victory and Rebound jointly govern the year's Qi. Taiyin Earth governs Heaven; Wood Luck is deficient, so Earth is not controlled, thus identical to Zhenggong. Taiyin Heaven, Shaojiao Wood Luck in middle, refers to Ding Chou/Ding Wei years. Luck is Wind (Jiao Wood). Clear is Metal's victory, Heat is Fire's rebound. Shaojiao governs Luck, hence mentioned first, ending with Shao Yu, explanation same as Yangming chapter.
Taiyin, Shaozheng Luck, Taiyang, Han-Yu (Cold-Rain) Victory/Rebound same. Gui Chou, Gui Wei years: Luck is Heat, Cold, Rain. Shaozheng, Tai Gong, Shang, Tai Yu, Tai Jiao.
Previous text discussed Shaojiao; this discusses Shaozheng. Gui is Fire Luck deficient. Upper Taiyin, Middle Shaozheng, Lower Taiyang. Cold-Rain Victory/Rebound same: Fire Luck deficient, initially Water-Cold wins, subsequently Earth-Rain rebounds. Victory/Rebound govern the year. Taiyin Heaven, Fire Luck in middle, refers to Gui Chou/Gui Wei years. Luck is Heat (Zheng Fire). Cold is Water's victory, Rain is Earth's rebound. Shaozheng governs Luck, hence mentioned first, explanation same as Yangming.
Taiyin, Shaogong Luck, Taiyang, Feng-Qing (Wind-Clear) Victory/Rebound same, identical to Zhenggong. Ji Chou is Taiyi Tianfu, Ji Wei is Taiyi Tianfu. Luck is Rain, Wind, Clear. Shaogong, Tai Shang, Shao Yu, Shao Jiao, Tai Zheng.
Following Shaozheng, Shaogong is discussed. Ji is Earth Luck deficient. Upper Taiyin, Middle Shaogong, Lower Taiyang. Wind-Clear Victory/Rebound same: Earth Luck deficient, initially Wood-Wind wins, subsequently Metal-Clear rebounds. Shaogong Earth deficient, overlaid by Taiyin, hence identical to Zhenggong. Ji is Earth Luck. Earth Luck on Chou/Wei is Suìhuì (Year Meeting). Earth Luck year, overlaid by Taiyin, is Tiānfú (Heaven符). Tiānfú + Suìhuì = Tàiyǐ Tiānfú. Hence Ji Chou/Ji Wei are Taiyi Tianfu. Luck is Rain (Gong Earth). Wind is Wood's victory, Clear is Metal's rebound. Starts with Shaogong, ends with Tai Zheng, explanation same as Yangming.
Taiyin, Shaoshang Luck, Taiyang, Re-Han (Heat-Cold) Victory/Rebound same. Yi Chou, Yi Wei years: Luck is Cool, Heat, Cold. Shaoshang, Tai Yu, Tai Jiao, Shao Zheng, Shao Gong.
Following Shaogong, Shaoshang is discussed. Yi is Metal Luck deficient. Upper Taiyin, Middle Shaoshang, Lower Taiyang. Heat-Cold Victory/Rebound same: Metal Luck deficient, initially Fire-Heat wins, subsequently Water-Cold rebounds. Shaoshang Metal Luck, overlaid by Taiyin, refers to Yi Chou/Yi Wei years. Luck is Cool (Metal). Heat is Fire's victory, Cold is Water's rebound. Shaoshang governs Luck, hence mentioned first, explanation same as Yangming.
Taiyin, Shaoyu Luck, Taiyang, Yu-Feng (Rain-Wind) Victory/Rebound same, identical to Zhenggong. Xin Chou, Wu Wei years: Luck is Cold, Rain, Wind. Shaoyu, Shao Jiao, Tai Zheng, Shao Gong, Tai Shang.
Following Shaoshang, Shaoyu is discussed. Xin is Water Luck deficient. Upper Taiyin, Middle Shaoyu, Lower Taiyang. Rain-Wind Victory/Rebound same: Water Luck deficient, initially Earth-Rain wins, subsequently Wood-Wind rebounds. Overlaid by Taiyin, Earth wins/Wood rebounds, hence identical to Zhenggong. Shaoyu Water Luck, Taiyin Heaven, refers to Xin Chou/Xin Wei years. Luck is Cold (Yu Water). Rain is Earth's victory, Wind is Wood's rebound. Shaoyu governs Luck, hence mentioned first, explanation same as Yangming.
In all these Taiyin Heaven administrations, Qi transformation operates later than the clock, Yin dominates, Yang retreats. Great winds rise frequently. Heaven Qi descends, Earth Qi ascends. Fields become dim, white dust rises, clouds rush south, cold rains come frequently. Things mature in late summer/early autumn. People suffer from warm-dampness, abdominal fullness, heaviness, distension, edema, blockage, counterflow, cold jue, cramping. Damp-Cold combine, yellow-black dust dims. Flowing Qi intersects, corresponding to Zhenxing (Saturn) and Chenxing (Mercury). Its administration is solemn, its command silent. Its grains are dark/black. Yin condenses above, Cold accumulates below. Cold-Water defeats Fire, resulting in hail. Sunlight fails, killing Qi acts. Hence, excess suits high places, deficiency suits low places; excess suits late maturation, deficiency suits early maturation. This is the benefit of soil and transformation of Qi; people's diseases follow. Inter-grains are named "Tai".
"Hun" and "Mao" are the same sound. "Shuo" is pronounced Shuo. "Cha" is pronounced Ci. Below are the same. Chou-Wei is Taiyin Heaven. All Ding Chou/Ding Wei, Gui Chou/Gui Wei, Ji Chou/Ji Wei, Yi Chou/Yi Wei, Xin Chou/Xin Wei are deficient years. Qi transformation lags behind time. Taiyin Heaven, Yin dominates, Yang retreats. Earth deficient, Wood wins, hence great winds. Heaven Qi descends (Heaven position). Earth Qi ascends (Lower position). Dim fields, white dust (Earth-Damp). Clouds south, cold rains (Water-Cold). Cha-Xia is end of summer/start of autumn. Things meant to mature in summer mature only then. If people suffer cold-damp, they have abdominal fullness, heaviness, distension, edema, blockage, counterflow. If only cold, no damp, it is cold jue (cramping). Heaven/Lower Qi intersect, Damp-Cold combine, yellow-black dust dims. Intersection corresponds to Saturn/Mercury. Yin dominates, administration solemn; Yang retreats, command silent. People eat yearly grains, hence dark/black. Taiyin Heaven, Yin condenses above; Taiyang Lower, Cold accumulates below. Cold-Water defeats Fire, Yin without Yang becomes hail. Cold-Water defeats Fire, sunlight fails, killing Qi acts. High ground is cold, growth slow; low ground is warm, growth early. Excess luck arrives early, so excess years suit high ground (slow growth, early arrival). Deficiency luck arrives late, so deficiency years suit low ground (early growth, late arrival). Excess years, Qi arrives early, growth should be late. Deficiency years, Qi arrives late, growth should be early. Excess high/deficiency low is soil benefit; excess late/deficiency early is Qi mechanism. Humans are leaders of all things, body like Heaven/Earth, so people's Qi follows. Feeling Heaven/Lower inter-Qi generates "Inter-grains". Taiyin Heaven, Yin-Shen Shaoyang right, Zi-Wu Shaoyin left. Zi-Wu/Yin-Shen are Yang years governing Tai, hence Inter-grains mature, named Tai.
First Phase: Earth Qi migrates, cold departs, Spring Qi is correct, wind arrives, Life Qi spreads, all things flourish. People's Qi is smooth. Wind-Damp clash, rain delays. People suffer blood effusion, tendon stiffness, joint disadvantage, heaviness, tendon flaccidity.
"Qiang" is rising tone. Initial Cold Guest Qi is left Yang's right, Jueyin Qi. First phase starts in Spring, cold departs. Spring Qi correct, Jueyin is Wind, hence wind arrives. Spring Life/Wind Spread, hence "Life Spreads". Spring Life/Wind Spread, things flourish, people's Qi smooth. Wind-Damp clash: Guest Qi is Wind, clashing with Heaven Damp. Damp fails to overcome Wind, hence rain delays. Blood effusion/tendon stiffness is Wind disease; joint disadvantage/heaviness/flaccidity is Damp disease.
Second Phase: Great Fire is correct, things receive transformation, people are harmonious. Warm plagues spread widely, suffering near and far. Damp steams/clashes, rain falls on time.
Second phase Host Qi is Shaoyin Sovereign Fire, hence Great Fire correct. Fire generates Earth, things receive transformation, people harmonious. Warm plague spreading is Fire-Heat disease. Suffering near/far is Qi abundance. Steaming is Heat. Damp-Heat clash: Heaven Damp clashes with Guest Heat. Damp-Heat clash, Fire-Earth generate, hence rain on time.
Third Phase: Heaven Administration spreads, Damp Qi descends, Earth Qi ascends, rain falls on time, Cold follows. Contracting Cold-Damp, people suffer heaviness, edema, chest/abdominal fullness.
Third phase Host Qi is Taiyin Damp-Earth, combining with Heaven, hence Administration spreads, Damp descends. Lower Earth Qi ascends, rain falls. Earth Qi is Taiyang Cold-Water, hence Qi ascends/rain falls, Cold follows. Contracting Cold-Damp, people suffer heaviness, edema, chest/abdominal fullness.
Fourth Phase: Fearful Fire (Minister Fire) arrives, humid steam transforms, Earth Qi ascends, Heaven Qi blocks, cold wind morning/evening, steam-heat clash, grass/trees condense smoke, Damp transformation flows not, hence white dew spreads, completing Autumn command. People suffer pore heat, sudden blood effusion, malaria, heart/abdominal fullness/heat, distension, severe edema.
"Pí" is pi, rising tone. Fearful Fire is Minister Fire. Fourth phase Host Qi is Shaoyang Minister Fire, hence Fearful Fire arrives. Taiyin Damp Heaven, Shaoyang Minister Guest, hence humid steam transforms (Damp-Heat steaming). Steam-Heat transforms, Cold-Water Earth Qi ascends, Heaven Qi blocks. Blockage means obstruction. Cold wind morning/evening is Autumn Qi. Steam-Heat clash is Fire overlay. Cold wind, grass/trees condense smoke; Steam-Heat clash, Damp flows not. At this time, white dew spreads, completing Autumn. Pore heat/sudden blood effusion is Fire disease. Malaria/heart-abdominal fullness/distension is Damp-Heat disease. Severe edema is Cold-Damp disease. This is Damp Heaven, Cold Lower, Fire Guest, causing such diseases.
Fifth Phase: Cruel command has acted, cold dew descends, frost falls early, grass/trees yellow/fall, Cold Qi reaches body. Gentlemen act cautiously, people suffer pore diseases.
Fifth phase Host Qi is Yangming Dry-Metal. Metal Qi is cruel/killing, hence cruel command acts. Command acts, cold dew descends, frost falls early, grass/trees yellow/fall, Cold Qi reaches body. At this time, gentlemen cautious, no disease; people not cautious, suffer pore diseases.
Final Phase: Cold greatly rises, Damp greatly transforms, frost accumulates, Yin condenses, water hardens to ice, sunlight fails. Contracting Cold, people suffer joint fixation, waist/back pain. Cold-Damp pushes into Qi intersection, becoming disease.
Final phase Host Qi is Taiyang Cold-Water. Cold Qi abundant, hence Cold rises greatly; Water Qi abundant, hence Damp transforms greatly (Damp becomes Water). Cold extreme, Water fails to move, hence frost accumulates, Yin condenses. Frost accumulates, water hardens; Yin condenses, sunlight fails. Contracting Cold, people suffer joint fixation, waist/back pain. "Qi" refers to spine/buttocks. Joint fixation/waist pain is Cold-Damp disease, hence Cold-Damp. Final Host Cold Qi is all Taiyang Cold, never Damp. Only Third Phase Host Cold Qi has Taiyin Damp. Hence this Cold-Damp disease pushes into Qi intersection to become disease.
Must break constrained Qi, obtain Source, benefit Year Qi, prevent Evil winning. Eat yearly grains to preserve True Qi, eat inter-grains to protect Essence. Hence year suits Bitter flavor, drying/warming. Severe cases: disperse/purge. If not dispersed/purged, Damp overflows externally, flesh ulcerates, skin breaks, water/blood mix. Must assist Yang Fire, to resist severe Cold. Follow Qi similarity/difference, adjust system more/less. Similar to Cold: use Heat transformation. Similar to Damp: use Dry transformation. Different: use less. Same: use more. Use Cool far from Cool, Cold far from Cold, Warm far from Warm, Heat far from Heat. Diet same method. False reverse. This is the way. Reverse is disease.
Constraint is basis for rebound; must break constrained Qi, obtain Source to nourish. Year Luck deficient, benefit Year Qi, prevent Evil winning. Eat dark yearly grains to preserve True Qi, eat left/right inter-grains to protect Essence. Cold-Damp year, suit Fire-Bitter to dry Damp, Fire-Bitter to warm Cold. Severe Cold: disperse. Severe Damp: purge. If Bitter/Cold/Damp severe and not dispersed/purged, Damp overflows, flesh ulcerates, skin breaks, water/blood mix. "Zan" means assist.
