歧伯對曰：正月、二月，天氣始方，地氣始發，人氣在肝。三月、四月，天氣正方，地氣定發，人氣在脾。五月、六月，天氣盛，地氣高，人氣在頭。七月、八月，陰氣始殺，人氣在肺。九月、十月，陰氣始冰，地氣始閉，人氣在心。十一月、十二月，冰復，地氣合，人氣在腎。
岐伯对曰：正月、二月，天气始方，地气始发，人气在肝。三月、四月，天气正方，地气定发，人气在脾。五月、六月，天气盛，地气高，人气在头。七月、八月，阴气始杀，人气在肺。九月、十月，阴气始冰，地气始闭，人气在心。十一月、十二月，冰复，地气合，人气在肾。

Qibo replies: In the first and second months the heavenly qi begins to spread squarely and the earthly qi begins to issue forth, and the human qi is in the liver. In the third and fourth months the heavenly qi is squarely in place and the earthly qi issues in earnest, and the human qi is in the spleen. In the fifth and sixth months the heavenly qi is at its height and the earthly qi is high, and the human qi is in the head. In the seventh and eighth months the yin qi begins to kill, and the human qi is in the lung. In the ninth and tenth months the yin qi begins to freeze and the earthly qi begins to close, and the human qi is in the heart. In the eleventh and twelfth months the ice thickens and the earthly qi closes up, and the human qi is in the kidney.
本篇以十二月配人氣之所在：正二月在肝，三四月在脾，五六月在頭，七八月在肺，九十月在心，十一十二月在腎。天氣、地氣與人氣三者並舉，人氣應之而轉徙。下文「春夏秋冬，各有所刺，法其所在」即據此而立。與第二篇「四氣」同條而尤為具體。
人心意應八風，人氣應天，人髮齒耳目，五聲應五音六律，人陰陽脉血氣應地，人肝目應之九。
人心意应八风，人气应天，人发齿耳目，五声应五音六律，人阴阳脉血气应地，人肝目应之九。
Rén xīn yì yìng bā fēng, rén qì yìng tiān, rén fà chǐ ěr mù, wǔ shēng yìng wǔ yīn liù lǜ, rén yīn yáng mài xuè qì yìng dì, rén gān mù yìng zhī jiǔ.
A person’s thought and intent answer to the eight winds, the qi to heaven; the hair, teeth, ears and eyes, with the five voices, answer to the five tones and six pitch-pipes; the yin and yang with the vessel, blood and qi answer to earth; the liver and the eyes answer to the nine.
「人心意應八風，人「氣」讀 qì應天」——**本篇「人氣」1見，讀 rén qì**；**本目為第十六篇所立，其第四義正曰「與天氣、地氣並言」**；**本篇「人氣應天」者，人之氣應於天，與「人皮應天」同例而專指其氣**；**此句在篇末錯簡之中，見章首按語**
歧伯曰：春者，天氣始開，地氣始泄，凍解冰釋，水行經通，故人氣在脉。
歧伯曰：春者，天气始开，地气始泄，冻解冰释，水行经通，故人气在脉。
Qí bó yuē: chūn zhě, tiān qì shǐ kāi, dì qì shǐ xiè, dòng jiě bīng shì, shuǐ xíng jīng tōng, gù rén qì zài mài.
Qi Bo says: in spring the qi of heaven begins to open and the qi of earth begins to discharge; the frost thaws and the ice melts, water runs and the channels open through — and so the qi of a person is in the vessels.
「春者，天氣始開，地氣始泄，凍解冰釋，水行經通，故人氣在脉」——**「人氣」本篇1見**；**天氣、地氣、人氣三者相次：天氣開、地氣泄，而後人氣在脉**；**第六十三篇「令人氣滿胸中」之「人氣」是偶然相連，故其篇不掛此目，此則正是**；**「釋」讀 shì，「凍」讀 dòng，「冰」讀 bīng**
歧伯曰：上下之位，氣交之中，人之居也。故曰：天樞之上，天氣主之；天樞之下，地氣主之。氣交之分，人氣從之，萬物由之。此之謂也。
歧伯曰：上下之位，气交之中，人之居也。故曰：天枢之上，天气主之；天枢之下，地气主之。气交之分，人气从之，万物由之。此之谓也。
Qí bó yuē: shàng xià zhī wèi, qì jiāo zhī zhōng, rén zhī jū yě. Gù yuē: tiān shū zhī shàng, tiān qì zhǔ zhī; tiān shū zhī xià, dì qì zhǔ zhī. Qì jiāo zhī fēn, rén qì cóng zhī, wàn wù yóu zhī. Cǐ zhī wèi yě.
Qi Bo said: between the positions above and below, in the midst of the meeting of the qi, is where the human being dwells. Hence it is said: above the heavenly pivot, the qi of heaven governs; below the heavenly pivot, the qi of earth governs. In the region where the qi meet, the qi of the human follows and the ten thousand things go by it. This is what that means.
「氣交之分，人氣從之，萬物由之」——**「人氣」本篇1見，止在此句**；**「氣交」本篇4見，別立新目**；**本篇之人氣是居氣交之中而從天地之氣者，與第十六篇「人氣在肝」按月而移者，同是人身之氣而取義不同**；**上句「天樞之上，天氣主之；天樞之下，地氣主之」是其分界**
帝曰：何謂也？歧伯曰：本氣位也。位天者，天文也，位地者，地理也。通於人氣之變化者，人事也。故太過者先天，不及者後天，所謂治化而人應之也。
帝曰：何谓也？歧伯曰：本气位也。位天者，天文也，位地者，地理也。通于人气之变化者，人事也。故太过者先天，不及者后天，所谓治化而人应之也。
Dì yuē: hé wèi yě? Qí bó yuē: běn qì wèi yě. Wèi tiān zhě, tiān wén yě, wèi dì zhě, dì lǐ yě. Tōng yú rén qì zhī biàn huà zhě, rén shì yě. Gù tài guò zhě xiān tiān, bù jí zhě hòu tiān, suǒ wèi zhì huà ér rén yìng zhī yě.
Huang Di said: what does that mean? Qi Bo said: the root is the position of the qi. What stands in heaven is the pattern of heaven; what stands in earth is the pattern of earth; and to penetrate the changes of human qi is the affairs of human beings. Therefore what is in surplus comes before heaven, and what falls short comes after heaven. This is what is meant by the ordering transformation, and the human being answers to it.
「通於人氣之變化者，人事也」——**「人氣」本篇1見，止此一見**；**本篇以位天者為天文、位地者為地理、通於人氣之變化者為人事，三者即上經「上知天文，下知地理，中知人事」之分釋**；**「人」讀 rén、「氣」讀 qì**
故陽氣者，一日而主外，平旦人氣生，日中而陽氣隆，日西而陽氣已虚，氣門乃閉。是故暮而收拒，無擾筋骨，無見霧露。反此三時，形乃困薄。
故阳气者，一日而主外，平旦人气生，日中而阳气隆，日西而阳气已虚，气门乃闭。是故暮而收拒，无扰筋骨，无见雾露。反此三时，形乃困薄。
Gù yáng qì zhě, yī rì ér zhǔ wài, píng dàn rén qì shēng, rì zhōng ér yáng qì lóng, rì xī ér yáng qì yǐ xū, qì mén nǎi bì. shì gù mù ér shōu jù, wú rǎo jīn gǔ, wú jiàn wù lù. fǎn cǐ sān shí, xíng nǎi kùn bó.
The yang qi governs the outside through the day: at daybreak the human qi is born, at midday the yang qi is at its height, and at sunset it is already empty, so the gate of qi closes. Hence at dusk one gathers in and refuses the outside, disturbing neither sinew nor bone and meeting neither mist nor dew. To go against these three times of day leaves the form worn and thin.
「平旦人氣生」——人氣應一日之陽氣而生；日中而隆，日西而已虚，氣門乃閉；**「人氣」本篇1見**
