丈夫八歲。腎氣實，髮長齒更。二八腎氣盛。天癸至。精氣溢寫，陰陽和，故能有子。三八腎氣平均，筋骨勁強，故真牙生而長極。四八筋骨隆盛，肌肉滿壯。五八腎氣衰，髮墮齒槁。六八陽氣衰竭於上，面焦，髮鬢頒白。七八肝氣衰，筋不能動。天癸竭，精少，腎藏衰，形體皆極。八八則齒髮去。
丈夫八岁。肾气实，发长齿更。二八肾气盛。天癸至。精气溢写，阴阳和，故能有子。三八肾气平均，筋骨劲强，故真牙生而长极。四八筋骨隆盛，肌肉满壮。五八肾气衰，发堕齿槁。六八阳气衰竭于上，面焦，发鬓颁白。七八肝气衰，筋不能动。天癸竭，精少，肾藏衰，形体皆极。八八则齿发去。

At eight a boy’s kidney qi is solid — the hair grows and the teeth change. At sixteen the kidney qi is full, the heavenly water arrives, and the essence qi overflows and is spent; yin and yang harmonise, so he can beget children. At twenty-four the kidney qi is even and balanced and the sinews and bones are strong, so the wisdom teeth come and growth reaches its extreme. At thirty-two the sinews and bones are at their height and the flesh is full and strong. At forty the kidney qi declines, the hair falls and the teeth wither. At forty-eight the yang qi is exhausted in the upper part, the face is seared and the hair at the temples is streaked white. At fifty-six the liver qi declines and the sinews can no longer move; the heavenly water is exhausted, the essence is scant, the kidney storehouse decays, and the body in every part has reached its extreme. At sixty-four the teeth and the hair go.

逆春氣，則少陽不生，肝氣内變；逆夏氣，則太陽不長，心氣内洞；逆秋氣，則太陰不收，肺氣焦滿；逆冬氣，則少陰不藏，腎氣獨沉。
逆春气，则少阳不生，肝气内变；逆夏气，则太阳不长，心气内洞；逆秋气，则太阴不收，肺气焦满；逆冬气，则少阴不藏，肾气独沉。

Going against the qi of spring, Shaoyang · lesser yang does not give life, and the liver qi changes inwardly. Going against the qi of summer, Taiyang · greater yang does not grow, and the heart qi is hollow within. Going against the qi of autumn, Taiyin · greater yin does not gather in, and the lung qi is scorched and full. Going against the qi of winter, Shaoyin · lesser yin does not store, and the kidney qi sinks alone.

陰之所生，本在五味，陰之五宫，傷在五味。是故味過於酸，肝氣以津，脾氣乃絶。味過於鹹，大骨氣勞，短肌，心氣抑。
阴之所生，本在五味，阴之五宫，伤在五味。是故味过于酸，肝气以津，脾气乃绝。味过于咸，大骨气劳，短肌，心气抑。

What yin generates has its root in the five flavours, and the five viscera that store jing are harmed by those same five flavours. Thus when sour is in excess the liver qi flows over and the spleen qi comes to an end; when salt is in excess the qi of the great bones is toiled, the flesh shortens, and the heart qi is held down.

甚飽則夢予，甚飢則夢取。肝氣盛，則夢怒，肺氣盛，則夢哭。短蟲多，則夢聚衆，長蟲多，則夢相擊毁傷。
甚饱则梦予，甚饥则梦取。肝气盛，则梦怒，肺气盛，则梦哭。短虫多，则梦聚众，长虫多，则梦相击毁伤。

Very full, one dreams of giving; very hungry, one dreams of taking. If liver qi is exuberant one dreams of anger; if lung qi is exuberant one dreams of weeping. With many short worms one dreams of crowds gathering; with many long worms one dreams of striking and wounding one another.
「肝氣盛，則夢怒」，肝氣盛則夢怒、肺氣盛則夢哭。本篇以五藏之盛定夢之所象。
因而喜大虚則腎氣乘矣，怒則肝氣乘矣，悲則肺氣乘矣，恐則脾氣乘矣，憂則心氣乘矣，此其道也。故病有五，五五二十五變，及其傳化。傳乘之名也。

Thus great joy leaves a great emptiness and the kidney qi encroaches; anger lets the liver qi encroach; sorrow lets the lung qi encroach; fear lets the spleen qi encroach; anxiety lets the heart qi encroach. Such is its way. So there are five diseases, and five times five — twenty-five variations, through their transmission and transformation. These are the names of transmission and encroachment.
「怒則肝氣乘矣」，怒則肝氣乘脾之虛，本篇五志相乘之一，與「喜大虚則腎氣乘」同例。
陽明司天，燥氣下臨，肝氣上從，蒼起木用而立，土乃眚，淒滄數至，木伐草萎。脅痛目赤，掉振鼓慄，筋痿不能久立。暴熱至，土乃暑，陽氣鬱發，小便變，寒熱如瘧，甚則心痛。火行于槁，流水不冰，蟄蟲乃見。

When yang brightness governs the heaven the qi of dryness descends upon it and the qi of the liver follows upward; blue-green arises and wood comes into use and stands, and earth then suffers calamity; chill bleakness comes again and again, wood is felled and grass withers. The illness is pain in the flanks, red eyes, shaking and trembling, drumming and shivering, and flaccid sinews that cannot stand long. Fierce heat arrives and earth turns to summer heat; the yang qi bursts forth pent up, the urine changes, cold and heat come like malaria, and in the extreme there is pain in the heart. Fire moves over the parched, running water does not freeze, and burrowing insects appear.
