黃帝問於岐伯曰：經言夏日傷暑，秋病瘧，瘧之發以時，其故何也？
黄帝问于岐伯曰：经言夏日伤暑，秋病疟，疟之发以时，其故何也？ Huáng Dì wèn yú Qí Bó yuē: jīng yán xià rì shāng shǔ, qiū bìng nüè, nüè zhī fā yǐ shí, qí gù hé yě?
黄帝问岐伯说：经上说夏天伤于暑，秋天病疟，疟的发作有一定时间，是什么缘故？
The Yellow Emperor asked Qi Bo: The classic says that one harmed by summerheat in summer falls ill with intermittent fever in autumn, and that its attacks come at set times. What is the reason?

歧伯對曰：邪客於風府，病循膂而下，衛氣一日一夜常大會於風府，其明日日下一節，故其日作晏，此其先客於脊背也。故每至於風府，則腠理開，腠理開則邪氣入，邪氣入則病作，此所以日作尚晏也。衛氣之行風府，日下一節，二十一日下至尾底，二十二日入脊内，注於伏衝之脉。其行九日，出於缺盆之中，其氣上行，故其病稍益。
歧伯对曰：邪客于风府，病循膂而下，卫气一日一夜常大会于风府，其明日日下一节，故其日作晏，此其先客于脊背也。故每至于风府，则腠理开，腠理开则邪气入，邪气入则病作，此所以日作尚晏也。卫气之行风府，日下一节，二十一日下至尾底，二十二日入脊内，注于伏冲之脉。其行九日，出于缺盆之中，其气上行，故其病稍益。 Qí Bó duì yuē: xié kè yú fēng fǔ, bìng xún lǚ ér xià, wèi qì yī rì yī yè cháng dà huì yú fēng fǔ, qí míng rì rì xià yī jié, gù qí rì zuò yàn, cǐ qí xiān kè yú jí bèi yě. gù měi zhì yú fēng fǔ, zé còu lǐ kāi, còu lǐ kāi zé xié qì rù, xié qì rù zé bìng zuò, cǐ suǒ yǐ rì zuò shàng yàn yě. wèi qì zhī xíng fēng fǔ, rì xià yī jié, èr shí yī rì xià zhì wěi dǐ, èr shí èr rì rù jí nèi, zhù yú fú chōng zhī mài. qí xíng jiǔ rì, chū yú quē pén zhī zhōng, qí qì shàng xíng, gù qí bìng shāo yì.
歧伯回答说：邪客于风府，病循膂而下，卫气一日一夜常大会于风府，第二天日下一节，所以发作一天晚一天，这是邪先客于脊背的缘故。所以每到风府，腠理就开，开则邪入，入则病作，这就是发作越来越晚的原因。卫气行于风府，日下一节，二十一日下至尾底，二十二日入脊内，注于伏冲之脉。其行九日，出于缺盆之中，其气上行，所以病稍加重。
Qi Bo answered: When evil lodges at the wind palace, the illness follows the spine downward; guarding qi gathers greatly at the wind palace once in a day and a night, and on the next day it descends one joint, so the attack comes a day later — this is because the evil first lodged in the spine and back. Hence whenever it reaches the wind palace the interstices open; opening, evil enters; entering, the illness breaks out: this is why the daily attack comes later and later. As guarding qi moves from the wind palace down one joint a day, on the twenty-first day it reaches the tail bone, and on the twenty-second enters within the spine and pours into the hidden thoroughfare vessel. It travels nine days and comes out in the middle of the collar-bone basin; its qi rises, and so the illness slightly worsens.

至其内摶於五藏，横連募原，其道遠，其氣深，其行遲，不能日作，故次日乃蓄積而作焉。
至其内抟于五藏，横连募原，其道远，其气深，其行迟，不能日作，故次日乃蓄积而作焉。 zhì qí nèi tuán yú wǔ zàng, héng lián mù yuán, qí dào yuǎn, qí qì shēn, qí xíng chí, bù néng rì zuò, gù cì rì nǎi xù jī ér zuò yān.
至于邪内抟于五藏，横连募原，其道远，其气深，其行迟，不能每日发作，所以到第二天才蓄积而发。
When the evil strikes the five viscera within and runs across to the membrane source, its road is far, its qi deep, its movement slow, and it cannot break out daily; hence it gathers and breaks out the next day.
Huáng Dì yuē: wèi qì měi zhì yú fēng fǔ, còu lǐ nǎi fā, fā zé xié rù yān. qí wèi qì rì xià yī jié, zé bù dāng fēng fǔ, nài hé? Qí Bó yuē: fēng fǔ wú cháng, wèi qì zhī suǒ yīng, bì kāi qí còu lǐ, qì zhī suǒ shè jié, zé qí fǔ yě.
黄帝说：卫气每至风府，腠理才开，开则邪入。但卫气日下一节，就不在风府了，怎样？歧伯说：风府没有定处，卫气所应之处，必开其腠理，气所舍的节，就是它的府。
The Emperor said: Guarding qi opens the interstices only when it reaches the wind palace, and opening lets evil in. But if guarding qi descends a joint a day, it is no longer at the wind palace — what then? Qi Bo said: The wind palace has no fixed place; wherever guarding qi answers, there the interstices must open, and the joint where the qi lodges is its palace.

黃帝曰：善。夫風之與瘧也，相與同類，而風常在，而瘧特以時休，何也？歧伯曰：風氣留其處，瘧氣隨經絡，沉以内摶，故衛氣應乃作也。帝曰：善。
黄帝曰：善。夫风之与疟也，相与同类，而风常在，而疟特以时休，何也？歧伯曰：风气留其处，疟气随经络，沉以内抟，故卫气应乃作也。帝曰：善。 Huáng Dì yuē: shàn. fū fēng zhī yǔ nüè yě, xiāng yǔ tóng lèi, ér fēng cháng zài, ér nüè tè yǐ shí xiū, hé yě? Qí Bó yuē: fēng qì liú qí chù, nüè qì suí jīng luò, chén yǐ nèi tuán, gù wèi qì yīng nǎi zuò yě. dì yuē: shàn.
黄帝说：好。风与疟同类，风常在而疟独按时休止，为什么？歧伯说：风气留在原处，疟气随经络，沉而内抟，所以卫气相应时才发作。帝说：好。
The Emperor said: Good. Wind and intermittent fever are of one kind, yet wind is always present while fever rests at set times — why? Qi Bo said: Wind qi stays where it is, while fever qi follows the channels and network vessels, sinking to strike within; hence it breaks out only when guarding qi answers. The Emperor said: Good.
Huáng Dì wèn yú shào shī yuē: yú wén sì shí bā fēng zhī zhòng rén yě, gù yǒu hán shǔ. hán zé pí fū jí ér còu lǐ bì, shǔ zé pí fū huǎn ér còu lǐ kāi, zéi fēng xié qì, yīn dé yǐ rù hū? jiāng bì xū bā zhèng xū xié, nǎi néng shāng rén hū?
黄帝问少师说：我听说四时八风伤人，本有寒暑之分。寒则皮肤急而腠理闭，暑则皮肤缓而腠理开，贼风邪气就因此得以入吗？还是必须八正的虚邪才能伤人？
The Emperor asked Shao Shi: I have heard that the four seasons’ eight winds injure men, and that there is cold and heat in it. When cold, the skin is tight and the interstices closed; when hot, the skin is slack and the interstices open. Does thieving wind and evil qi get in by this? Or must it be the empty evil of the eight uprights that can injure a man?
7
少師答曰：不然。賊風邪氣之中人也，不得以時。然必因其開也，其入深，其内極病，其病人也卒暴；因其閉也，其入淺以留，其病也徐以遲。
少师答曰：不然。贼风邪气之中人也，不得以时。然必因其开也，其入深，其内极病，其病人也卒暴；因其闭也，其入浅以留，其病也徐以迟。 shào shī dá yuē: bù rán. zéi fēng xié qì zhī zhòng rén yě, bù dé yǐ shí. rán bì yīn qí kāi yě, qí rù shēn, qí nèi jí bìng, qí bìng rén yě zú bào; yīn qí bì yě, qí rù qiǎn yǐ liú, qí bìng yě xú yǐ chí.
少师回答说：不是这样。贼风邪气伤人，不限于时令。但必因其腠理开，入得深，内病极重，伤人卒暴；因其闭，入得浅而留，病也徐缓。
Shao Shi answered: Not so. Thieving wind and evil qi injure a man without regard to season. But when it enters because of opening, it goes deep and the illness within is extreme, striking a man suddenly; when it enters because of closing, it goes shallow and stays, and the illness is slow and late.

黃帝曰：有寒温和適，腠理不開，然有卒病者，其故何也？
黄帝曰：有寒温和适，腠理不开，然有卒病者，其故何也？ Huáng Dì yuē: yǒu hán wēn hé shì, còu lǐ bù kāi, rán yǒu zú bìng zhě, qí gù hé yě?
黄帝说：有寒温和适、腠理不开，却有突然发病的，是什么缘故？
The Emperor said: When cold and warmth are mild and fitting and the interstices do not open, yet illness comes suddenly — what is the reason?
9
少師答曰：帝弗知邪入乎！雖平居，其腠理開閉緩急，其故常有時也。黃帝曰：可得聞乎？少師曰：人與天地相參也，與日月相應也。
少师答曰：帝弗知邪入乎！虽平居，其腠理开闭缓急，其故常有时也。黄帝曰：可得闻乎？少师曰：人与天地相参也，与日月相应也。 shào shī dá yuē: dì fú zhī xié rù hū! suī píng jū, qí còu lǐ kāi bì huǎn jí, qí gù cháng yǒu shí yě. Huáng Dì yuē: kě dé wén hū? shào shī yuē: rén yǔ tiān dì xiāng cān yě, yǔ rì yuè xiāng yīng yě.
少师回答说：帝不知道邪是怎样入的吗！虽是平居，腠理的开闭缓急，本来常有其时。黄帝说：可以听听吗？少师说：人与天地相参，与日月相应。
Shao Shi answered: Does the Emperor not know how evil enters? Even in ordinary times, the opening and closing, slackness and tightness of the interstices have their own times. The Emperor said: May I hear it? Shao Shi said: Man takes part in heaven and earth and answers to sun and moon.

故月滿則海水西盛，人血氣積，肌肉充，皮膚緻，毛髮堅，腠理㕁，煙垢著，當是之時，雖遇賊風，其入淺不深。至其月郭空，則海水東盛，人氣血虚，其衛氣去，形獨居，肌肉減，皮膚縱，腠理開，毛髮殘，膲理薄，煙垢落，當是之時，遇賊風，則其入深，其病人也卒暴。
故月满则海水西盛，人血气积，肌肉充，皮肤致，毛发坚，腠理却，烟垢著，当是之时，虽遇贼风，其入浅不深。至其月郭空，则海水东盛，人气血虚，其卫气去，形独居，肌肉减，皮肤纵，腠理开，毛发残，膲理薄，烟垢落，当是之时，遇贼风，则其入深，其病人也卒暴。 gù yuè mǎn zé hǎi shuǐ xī shèng, rén xuè qì jī, jī ròu chōng, pí fū zhì, máo fà jiān, còu lǐ què, yān gòu zhuó, dāng shì zhī shí, suī yù zéi fēng, qí rù qiǎn bù shēn. zhì qí yuè guō kōng, zé hǎi shuǐ dōng shèng, rén qì xuè xū, qí wèi qì qù, xíng dú jū, jī ròu jiǎn, pí fū zòng, còu lǐ kāi, máo fà cán, jiāo lǐ bó, yān gòu luò, dāng shì zhī shí, yù zéi fēng, zé qí rù shēn, qí bìng rén yě zú bào.
所以月满则海水西盛，人血气积，肌肉充，皮肤致，毛发坚，腠理密闭，烟垢附着；当此之时，虽遇贼风，入浅不深。到月郭空，则海水东盛，人气血虚，卫气离去，形独居，肌肉减，皮肤纵，腠理开，毛发残，膲理薄，烟垢脱落；当此之时遇贼风，就入深，病人卒暴。
Hence when the moon is full the sea water swells in the west, man’s blood and qi gather, muscle is full, skin is tight, hair is firm, the interstices are closed and the soot and grime cling. At such a time, though he meet thieving wind, it enters shallowly and not deep. When the moon’s disc is empty the sea water swells in the east, man’s qi and blood are empty, his guarding qi departs, his form dwells alone, muscle diminishes, skin slackens, interstices open, hair is broken, the flesh striae are thin and the grime falls away. At such a time, meeting thieving wind, it enters deep and strikes a man suddenly.
11
黃帝曰：其有卒然暴死暴病者，何也？
黄帝曰：其有卒然暴死暴病者，何也？ Huáng Dì yuē: qí yǒu cù rán bào sǐ bào bìng zhě, hé yě?
黄帝说：有突然暴死暴病的，为什么？
The Emperor said: Some die suddenly or fall ill suddenly — why?
12
少師答曰：三虚者，其死暴疾也。得三實者，邪不能傷人也。黃帝曰：願聞三虚。少師曰：乘年之衰，逢月之空，失時之和，因爲賊風所傷，是謂三虚。故論不知三虚，工反爲麤。
少师答曰：三虚者，其死暴疾也。得三实者，邪不能伤人也。黄帝曰：愿闻三虚。少师曰：乘年之衰，逢月之空，失时之和，因为贼风所伤，是谓三虚。故论不知三虚，工反为麤。 shào shī dá yuē: sān xū zhě, qí sǐ bào jí yě. dé sān shí zhě, xié bù néng shāng rén yě. Huáng Dì yuē: yuàn wén sān xū. shào shī yuē: chéng nián zhī shuāi, féng yuè zhī kōng, shī shí zhī hé, yīn wéi zéi fēng suǒ shāng, shì wèi sān xū. gù lùn bù zhī sān xū, gōng fǎn wéi cū.
少师回答说：三虚的，死得暴疾；得三实的，邪不能伤人。黄帝说：愿闻三虚。少师说：乘年之衰，逢月之空，失时之和，因而为贼风所伤，这叫三虚。所以论病不知三虚，工反成为粗。
Shao Shi answered: With three empties death is sudden and swift; with three solids evil cannot injure a man. The Emperor said: I wish to hear of the three empties. Shao Shi said: To ride the year’s decline, meet the moon’s emptiness and lose the season’s harmony, and so be injured by thieving wind — this is called the three empties. Hence one who discusses illness without knowing the three empties is a coarse worker instead.
13
帝曰：願聞三實。少師曰：逢年之盛，遇月之滿，得時之和，雖有賊風邪氣，不能危之也。黃帝曰：善乎哉論！明乎哉道！請藏之金匱，命曰三實。然此一夫之論也。
帝曰：愿闻三实。少师曰：逢年之盛，遇月之满，得时之和，虽有贼风邪气，不能危之也。黄帝曰：善乎哉论！明乎哉道！请藏之金匮，命曰三实。然此一夫之论也。 dì yuē: yuàn wén sān shí. shào shī yuē: féng nián zhī shèng, yù yuè zhī mǎn, dé shí zhī hé, suī yǒu zéi fēng xié qì, bù néng wēi zhī yě. Huáng Dì yuē: shàn hū zāi lùn! míng hū zāi dào! qǐng cáng zhī jīn kuì, mìng yuē sān shí. rán cǐ yī fū zhī lùn yě.
帝说：愿闻三实。少师说：逢年之盛，遇月之满，得时之和，虽有贼风邪气，也不能危害他。黄帝说：论得好啊！道说得明白啊！请藏在金匮，命名为三实。然而这是一人之论。
The Emperor said: I wish to hear the three solids. Shao Shi said: To meet the year’s abundance, encounter the moon’s fullness and attain the season’s harmony, then though there be thieving wind and evil qi, they cannot endanger him. The Emperor said: How fine the discourse! How clear the way! Pray keep it in the golden coffer and name it the three solids. Yet this is the teaching of one man.
14
黃帝曰：願聞歲之所以皆同病者，何因而然？
黄帝曰：愿闻岁之所以皆同病者，何因而然？
Huáng Dì yuē: yuàn wén suì zhī suǒ yǐ jiē tóng bìng zhě, hé yīn ér rán?
黄帝说：愿听一岁之中人都患同样疾病，是什么原因？
The Emperor said: I wish to hear why in a single year all men fall ill with the same disease.
15
少師曰：此八正之𠉀也。黃帝曰：候之奈何？
少师曰：此八正之𠉀也。黄帝曰：候之奈何？ shào shī yuē: cǐ bā zhèng zhī hòu yě. Huáng Dì yuē: hòu zhī nài hé?
少师说：这是八正的候。黄帝说：怎样候？
Shao Shi said: This is the waiting on the eight uprights. The Emperor said: How is it waited on?
16
少師曰：𠉀此者，常以冬至之日，太一立於叶蟄之宫，其至也，天必應之以風雨者矣。風雨從南方來者，爲虚風，賊傷人者也。其以夜半至也，萬民皆卧而弗犯也，故其歲民小病。其以晝至者，萬民懈惰，而皆中於虚風，故萬民多病。虚邪入客於骨，而不發於外。至其立春，陽氣大發，腠理開，因立春之日，風從西方來，萬民又皆中於虚風，此兩邪相搏，經氣結代者矣。故諸逢其風而遇其雨者，命曰遇歲露焉。因歲之和而少賊風者，民少病而少死；歲多賊風邪氣，寒温不和，則民多病而死矣。
少师曰：𠉀此者，常以冬至之日，太一立于叶蛰之宫，其至也，天必应之以风雨者矣。风雨从南方来者，为虚风，贼伤人者也。其以夜半至也，万民皆卧而弗犯也，故其岁民小病。其以昼至者，万民懈惰，而皆中于虚风，故万民多病。虚邪入客于骨，而不发于外。至其立春，阳气大发，腠理开，因立春之日，风从西方来，万民又皆中于虚风，此两邪相搏，经气结代者矣。故诸逢其风而遇其雨者，命曰遇岁露焉。因岁之和而少贼风者，民少病而少死；岁多贼风邪气，寒温不和，则民多病而死矣。 shào shī yuē: hòu cǐ zhě, cháng yǐ dōng zhì zhī rì, tài yī lì yú yè zhé zhī gōng, qí zhì yě, tiān bì yīng zhī yǐ fēng yǔ zhě yǐ. fēng yǔ cóng nán fāng lái zhě, wéi xū fēng, zéi shāng rén zhě yě. qí yǐ yè bàn zhì yě, wàn mín jiē wò ér fú fàn yě, gù qí suì mín xiǎo bìng. qí yǐ zhòu zhì zhě, wàn mín xiè duò, ér jiē zhòng yú xū fēng, gù wàn mín duō bìng. xū xié rù kè yú gǔ, ér bù fā yú wài. zhì qí lì chūn, yáng qì dà fā, còu lǐ kāi, yīn lì chūn zhī rì, fēng cóng xī fāng lái, wàn mín yòu jiē zhòng yú xū fēng, cǐ liǎng xié xiāng bó, jīng qì jié dài zhě yǐ. gù zhū féng qí fēng ér yù qí yǔ zhě, mìng yuē yù suì lù yān. yīn suì zhī hé ér shǎo zéi fēng zhě, mín shǎo bìng ér shǎo sǐ; suì duō zéi fēng xié qì, hán wēn bù hé, zé mín duō bìng ér sǐ yǐ.
少师说：候这个的，常以冬至之日，太一立于叶蛰之宫，其至也，天必以风雨相应。风雨从南方来的是虚风，贼伤人的。其以夜半至，万民都卧而不犯，所以那一年人民少病。其以白昼至，万民懈惰而都中于虚风，所以万民多病。虚邪入客于骨而不发于外。到立春，阳气大发，腠理开，又因立春之日风从西方来，万民又都中于虚风，这两邪相搏，经气就结代了。所以凡逢其风而遇其雨的，叫遇岁露。岁气和顺而少贼风的，民少病而少死；岁多贼风邪气、寒温不和的，民多病而死。
Shao Shi said: To wait on this, always on the day of the winter solstice, when the Great One stands in the palace of Yezhe, heaven must answer his arrival with wind and rain. Rain and wind from the south are empty wind, which injures men thievishly. If it comes at midnight, all the people lie down and do not meet it, and so in that year they are little ill. If it comes by day, the people are slack and all are struck by the empty wind, and so many are ill. Empty evil lodges in the bone and does not issue outward. At the beginning of spring, when yang qi greatly issues and the interstices open, and on that day wind comes from the west, the people are all struck by empty wind again; the two evils strike each other and the channel qi knots and is interrupted. Hence all who meet its wind and encounter its rain are said to meet the year’s exposure. When the year is harmonious and thieving winds are few, the people are little ill and few die; when the year has many thieving winds and evil qi, and cold and warmth are not in harmony, many fall ill and die.
17
黃帝曰：虚邪之風，其所傷貴賤何如？𠉀之奈何？
黄帝曰：虚邪之风，其所伤贵贱何如？𠉀之奈何？ Huáng Dì yuē: xū xié zhī fēng, qí suǒ shāng guì jiàn hé rú? hòu zhī nài hé?
黄帝说：虚邪之风，所伤的贵贱怎样？怎样候？
The Emperor said: The wind of empty evil — how does it injure high and low? How is it waited on?

少師答曰：正月朔日，太一居天留之宫，其日西北風不雨，人多死矣。正月朔日，平旦北風，春，民多死。正月朔日，平旦北風行，民病多者，十有三也。正月朔日，日中北風，夏民多死。正月朔日，夕時北風，秋民多死。終日北風，大病死者十有六。正月朔日，風從南方來，命曰旱鄉；從西方來，命曰白骨，將國有殃，人多死亡。正月朔日，風從東方來，發屋揚沙石，國有大災也。正月朔日，風從東南方行，春有死亡。正月朔，天利温不風，糴賤，民不病；天寒而風，糴貴，民多病。此所謂𠉀歲之風，傷人者也。

少师回答说：正月朔日，太一居天留之宫，那天西北风而不雨，人多死。正月朔日平旦北风，春季民多死。正月朔日平旦北风行，民病多的十有三。正月朔日日中北风，夏季民多死。正月朔日夕时北风，秋季民多死。终日北风，大病死的十有六。正月朔日风从南方来，叫旱乡；从西方来，叫白骨，将有国殃，人多死亡。正月朔日风从东方来，发屋扬沙石，国有大灾。正月朔日风从东南方行，春季有死亡。正月朔日天晴温而不风，糴贱，民不病；天寒而风，糴贵，民多病。这就是所谓候岁之风，伤人的。
Shao Shi answered: On the first day of the first month, when the Great One dwells in the palace of Tianliu, if on that day a northwest wind blows without rain, many people die. If on the first day of the first month at dawn a north wind blows, in spring many die. If at dawn the north wind travels, those who fall ill are three in ten. If at midday a north wind blows, in summer many die; if at dusk, in autumn many die. With north wind all day, of those who fall gravely ill six in ten die. If on the first day of the first month the wind comes from the south, it is called the drought land; from the west, white bones — the state will have calamity and many will die. If from the east, houses are torn and sand and stones raised, and the state has great disaster. If from the southeast, in spring there is death. If on the first day of the first month the sky is clear and warm without wind, grain is cheap and the people are not ill; if cold with wind, grain is dear and many are ill. This is what is called waiting on the year’s wind, which injures men.

二月丑不風，民多心腹病。三月戌不溫，民多寒𤍠；四月已不暑，民多癉病；十月申不寒，民多暴死。諸所謂風者，皆發屋，折樹木，揚沙石，起毫毛，發腠理者也。

二月丑日不风，民多心腹病。三月戌日不温，民多寒热；四月巳日不暑，民多瘅病；十月申日不寒，民多暴死。所谓风，都是发屋、折树木、扬沙石、起毫毛、发腠理的。
If on the chou day of the second month there is no wind, many have heart and belly illness; if on the xu day of the third month it is not warm, many have cold and heat; if on the si day of the fourth month it is not hot, many have jaundice; if on the shen day of the tenth month it is not cold, many die suddenly. All that is called wind tears houses, breaks trees, raises sand and stones, lifts the fine hair and opens the interstices.
