Huáng dì wèn yuē: wǔ yùn gēng zhì, shàng yìng tiān qī, yīn yáng wǎng fù, hán shǔ yíng suí, zhēn xié xiāng bó, nèi wài fēn lí, liù jīng bō dàng, wǔ qì qīng yí, tài guò bù jí, zhuān shèng jiān bìng, yuàn yán qí shǐ, ér yǒu cháng míng, kě dé wén hū?
黄帝问道：五运交替主事，在上与一年的天数相应；阴阳往来反复，寒暑相接相随；真气与邪气相互逼迫，表里因而分离；六经的气血像水波一样动荡，五气偏倾移易，于是有太过、有不及，有一气独胜，也有被他气兼并。我想知道它的起始，以及它有没有一定的名称，可以讲给我听吗？
Huang Di asked: the five circuits govern in turn and answer above to the periods of heaven; yin and yang go and return, cold and summer heat meet and follow; the true and the evil press upon one another, and the inner and the outer are pulled apart; the six channels are tossed like waves and the five qi lean and shift. There is surplus and there is falling short; there is prevailing alone and there is being swallowed up. I wish to hear how it begins, and whether it has a constant name — may it be told to me?

歧伯稽首再拜對曰：昭乎哉問也，是明道也。此上帝所貴，先師傳之，臣雖不敏，往聞其㫖。
歧伯稽首再拜对曰：昭乎哉问也，是明道也。此上帝所贵，先师传之，臣虽不敏，往闻其㫖。
Qí bó qǐ shǒu zài bài duì yuē: zhāo hū zāi wèn yě, shì míng dào yě. Cǐ shàng dì suǒ guì, xiān shī chuán zhī, chén suī bù mǐn, wǎng wén qí zhǐ.
歧伯叩头到地、拜了又拜回答说：您问得多么明白啊，这是要阐明大道的。这是上古帝王所珍视、由先师传授下来的东西，臣虽不聪敏，往日也曾听过它的要旨。
Qi Bo bowed his head to the ground, bowed twice again, and answered: how bright the question is — this is to make the way clear. It is what the emperors above treasured and what the former teachers handed down. Though I am not quick, in the past I have heard its purport.

帝曰：余聞得其人不教，是謂失道，傳非其人，慢泄天寶。余誠菲德，未足以受至道，然而衆子哀其不終，願夫子保於無窮，流於無極。余司其事，則而行之，柰何？
帝曰：余闻得其人不教，是谓失道，传非其人，慢泄天宝。余诚菲德，未足以受至道，然而众子哀其不终，愿夫子保于无穷，流于无极。余司其事，则而行之，奈何？
Dì yuē: yú wén dé qí rén bù jiào, shì wèi shī dào, chuán fēi qí rén, màn xiè tiān bǎo. Yú chéng fěi dé, wèi zú yǐ shòu zhì dào, rán ér zhòng zǐ āi qí bù zhōng, yuàn fū zǐ bǎo yú wú qióng, liú yú wú jí. Yú sī qí shì, zé ér xíng zhī, nài hé?
黄帝说：我听说遇到合适的人而不教，就叫作失道；传给不该传的人，就是轻慢泄露天上的珍宝。我确实德行微薄，不足以接受这至高的道理；然而众人哀叹自己不得寿终，希望夫子为了无穷的后世、无极的流传而保住此道。我来主持这件事，照着去做，你看怎么办？
Huang Di said: I have heard that to meet the right person and not teach him is to lose the way; to hand it to the wrong person is to spill the treasure of heaven carelessly. My own virtue is truly thin and I am not fit to receive the utmost way. Yet the many lament that their lives do not come to their end, and I wish you, master, to keep it safe for the endless and let it flow into the boundless. I will take charge of the matter and act by it — how shall this be?

歧伯曰：請遂言之也。上經曰：夫道者，上知天文，下知地理，中知人事，可以長久。此之謂也。
歧伯曰：请遂言之也。上经曰：夫道者，上知天文，下知地理，中知人事，可以长久。此之谓也。
Qí bó yuē: qǐng suì yán zhī yě. Shàng jīng yuē: fú dào zhě, shàng zhī tiān wén, xià zhī dì lǐ, zhōng zhī rén shì, kě yǐ cháng jiǔ. Cǐ zhī wèi yě.
歧伯说：请让我就此讲下去。《上经》说：所谓道，上要懂得天文，下要懂得地理，中要懂得人事，这样才能长久。说的就是这个。
Qi Bo said: let me then speak of it in full. The Upper Canon says: the way — to know the patterns of heaven above, the patterns of earth below, and the affairs of human beings between — by this one may last long. This is what it means.
5
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.
黄帝说：这怎么讲？歧伯说：根本在于气的位置。位在天的是天文，位在地的是地理，通达人气变化的便是人事。所以太过之气先于天时而至，不及之气后于天时而至，这就是所谓治化，而人随之相应。
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.

帝曰：五運之化，太過何如？歧伯曰：歲木太過，風氣流行，脾土受邪，民病飱泄食減，體重煩冤，腸鳴，腹支滿，上應歲星。甚則忽忽善怒，眩冒巔疾，化氣不政，生氣獨治，雲物飛動，草木不寧，甚而搖落，反脅痛而吐甚。衝陽絶者，死不治，上應太白星。
帝曰：五运之化，太过何如？歧伯曰：岁木太过，风气流行，脾土受邪，民病飧泄食减，体重烦冤，肠鸣，腹支满，上应岁星。甚则忽忽善怒，眩冒巅疾，化气不政，生气独治，云物飞动，草木不宁，甚而摇落，反胁痛而吐甚。冲阳绝者，死不治，上应太白星。
Dì yuē: wǔ yùn zhī huà, tài guò hé rú? Qí bó yuē: suì mù tài guò, fēng qì liú xíng, pí tǔ shòu xié, mín bìng sūn xiè shí jiǎn, tǐ zhòng fán yuān, cháng míng, fù zhī mǎn, shàng yìng suì xīng.

Chōng yáng jué zhě, sǐ bù zhì, shàng yìng tài bái xīng.
黄帝说：五运的气化，太过的时候是怎样的？歧伯说：木运太过的年份，风气流行，脾土受邪。人们患完谷不化的泄泻、进食减少，身体沉重、烦闷冤屈，肠中鸣响，腹部支满，在上与岁星相应。重的则恍恍惚惚、容易发怒，头目眩晕、巅顶患病；化气不能施政，生气独自主治，云物飞动，草木不得安宁，甚至摇落；反而胁痛并且呕吐剧烈。冲阳脉绝的，会死，不可治；在上与太白星相应。
Huang Di said: as for the transformation of the five circuits, what is it like when there is surplus? Qi Bo said: in a year of wood in surplus, the qi of wind spreads and moves and the earth of the spleen receives evil; the people are ill with gruel diarrhoea and diminished eating, a heavy body and freting oppression, rumbling in the bowels and fullness propping the abdomen; it answers above to Jupiter. If it is severe they are dazed and quick to anger, dizzy and veiled, with illness at the crown; the qi of transformation does not govern and the qi of growth rules alone, clouds and things fly and move, plants and trees are not at rest and are even shaken bare, and there is counterflow pain in the flanks and severe vomiting. Where Chongyang is cut off there is death and no cure; it answers above to Venus.

歲火太過，炎暑流行，金肺受邪。民病瘧，少氣欬喘，血溢，血泄，注下，嗌燥耳聾，中熱，肩背熱。上應熒惑星。甚則胸中痛，脅支滿，脅痛，膺背肩胛間痛，兩臂内痛，身熱骨痛，而爲浸淫。收氣不行，長氣獨明，雨水霜寒。上應辰星。上臨少陰少陽，火燔爇，冰泉涸，物焦槁。病反譫妄狂越，欬喘息鳴，下甚血溢，泄不已。太淵絶者，死不治。上應熒惑星。

火运太过的年份，炎热暑气流行，肺金受邪。人们患疟疾，气少、咳喘，血外溢、血下泄、泻利如注，咽干耳聋，胸中热、肩背热，在上与荧惑星相应。重的则胸中痛，胁部支满疼痛，胸膺、背部、肩胛之间疼痛，两臂内侧疼痛，身热骨痛而成为浸淫之病。收气不得运行，长气独自昌明，雨水霜寒并至，在上与辰星相应。若上临少阴、少阳，则火势焚烧，冰泉干涸，万物焦枯；病反见谵语狂乱，咳喘、呼吸有声，下部甚则血溢，泄泻不止。太渊脉绝的，会死，不可治；在上与荧惑星相应。
In a year of fire in surplus, blazing summer heat spreads and moves and the metal of the lung receives evil. The people are ill with malaria, scantness of qi, coughing and panting, blood escaping upward, blood discharged downward, pouring below, dryness of the throat and deafness, heat in the centre and heat in the shoulder and back; it answers above to Mars. If it is severe there is pain in the chest, propping fullness and pain in the flanks, pain between the breast, the back and the shoulder blades, pain on the inner side of both arms, heat of the body and pain in the bones, and the soaking spread of the illness. The qi of gathering does not move and the qi of growth shines alone; rain, water, frost and cold arrive; it answers above to Mercury. If lesser yin or lesser yang presides above, fire blazes and scorches, the icy springs dry up and things are burnt and withered; the illness turns to delirious speech and raving, coughing and panting with a noisy breath, and, below, severe bleeding and unending discharge. Where Taiyuan is cut off there is death and no cure; it answers above to Mars.

歲土太過，雨濕流行，腎水受邪。民病腹痛，清厥意不樂，體重煩冤。上應鎮星。甚則肌肉萎，足痿不收，行善瘈，腳下痛，飲發，中滿食減，四支不舉。變生得位，藏氣伏，化氣獨治之，泉涌河衍，涸澤生魚，風雨大至，土崩潰，鱗見于陸。病腹滿溏泄，腸鳴，反下甚而太谿絶者，死不治。上應歲星。
岁土太过，雨湿流行，肾水受邪。民病腹痛，清厥意不乐，体重烦冤。上应镇星。甚则肌肉萎，足痿不收，行善瘈，脚下痛，饮发，中满食减，四支不举。变生得位，藏气伏，化气独治之，泉涌河衍，涸泽生鱼，风雨大至，土崩溃，鳞见于陆。病腹满溏泄，肠鸣，反下甚而太溪绝者，死不治。上应岁星。

土运太过的年份，雨湿之气流行，肾水受邪。人们患腹痛，四肢清冷厥逆、心中不乐，身体沉重、烦闷冤屈，在上与镇星相应。重的则肌肉萎缩，两足痿弱不能收持，行走时常常抽搐，脚下疼痛，水饮发作，中焦胀满、进食减少，四肢不能抬举。变气发生在土当位之时，藏气潜伏，化气独自施治，泉水涌出、河水漫溢，干涸的沼泽里生出鱼来，风雨大作，土崩塌溃散，鳞类出现在陆地上。病见腹满、溏泄、肠鸣；反而下部加重而太溪脉绝的，会死，不可治；在上与岁星相应。
In a year of earth in surplus, rain and dampness spread and move and the water of the kidney receives evil. The people are ill with pain in the abdomen, clear counterflow and a mind that takes no pleasure, a heavy body and freting oppression; it answers above to Saturn. If it is severe, the flesh wastes, the feet are limp and cannot be drawn up, walking brings twitching, there is pain under the foot, rheum breaks out, the centre is full and eating diminishes, and the four limbs cannot be lifted. Change arises when it holds its place: the qi of storage lies hidden and the qi of transformation governs alone, springs gush and rivers overflow, dried-up marshes bring forth fish, wind and rain arrive in force, the earth crumbles and collapses, and scaled creatures are seen on land. The illness is fullness of the abdomen, sloppy diarrhoea and rumbling in the bowels; if it turns worse below and Taixi is cut off, there is death and no cure; it answers above to Jupiter.

金运太过的年份，燥气流行，肝木受邪。人们患两胁下连少腹疼痛，目赤、眼角生疮，耳听不见声音。肃杀之气太甚，就身体沉重、烦闷冤屈，胸痛牵引到背部，两胁胀满并且疼痛牵引少腹，在上与太白星相应。重的则咳喘气逆，肩背疼痛，尻、阴部、大腿、膝、髀、小腿肚、胫骨、足都发病，在上与荧惑星相应。收气严峻，生气低伏，草木收敛，青苍之物干枯凋落。病反见突然剧痛，胠胁痛得不能转侧，咳逆剧烈而血外溢。太冲脉绝的，会死，不可治；在上与太白星相应。
In a year of metal in surplus, the qi of dryness spreads and moves and the wood of the liver receives evil. The people are ill with pain below both flanks and in the lower abdomen, red and painful eyes with sores at the corner of the eye, and ears that hear nothing. If the severity and killing is extreme, the body is heavy and there is freting oppression, pain in the chest that draws to the back, and fullness in both flanks with pain drawing into the lower abdomen; it answers above to Venus. If it is severe there is panting and coughing with counterflow qi, pain in the shoulder and back, and the sacrum, the private parts, the thigh, the knee, the hip, the calf, the shin and the foot are all affected; it answers above to Mars. The qi of gathering is harsh and the qi of growth sinks; plants and trees draw in and the blue-green dries and falls. The illness turns to sudden pain; the flanks cannot be turned or lain upon; the coughing counterflow is severe and blood escapes. Where Taichong is cut off there is death and no cure; it answers above to Venus.

水运太过的年份，寒气流行，邪气伤害心火。人们患身热、心中烦躁，躁动心悸，阴厥，上下都被寒邪所中，谵语狂妄、心痛，寒气提早到来，在上与辰星相应。重的则腹部胀大、小腿浮肿，咳喘，睡中出汗，厌恶风。大雨到来，尘雾昏蒙郁结，在上与镇星相应。若上临太阳，则下雨、结冰、下雪，霜不按时而降，湿气使万物变质。病反见腹满肠鸣，溏泄、食物不化，口渴而且昏蒙妄见。神门脉绝的，会死，不可治；在上与荧惑、辰星相应。
In a year of water in surplus, the qi of cold spreads and moves and the evil harms the fire of the heart. The people are ill with heat of the body and fretting of the heart, restlessness and palpitations, yin counterflow, cold struck through the upper and the lower, delirious speech and pain in the heart; the cold qi arrives early. It answers above to Mercury. If it is severe the abdomen is enlarged and the shins swell, there is panting and coughing, sweating in sleep and hatred of wind. Great rain comes, dust and mist are dim and pent; it answers above to Saturn. If greater yang presides above, there is rain, ice and snow, frost falls out of season, and the qi of dampness alters things. The illness turns to fullness of the abdomen and rumbling in the bowels, sloppy diarrhoea with food undigested, and thirst with a veiled and wandering mind. Where Shenmen is cut off there is death and no cure; it answers above to Mars and Mercury.

帝曰：善。其不及何如？歧伯曰：悉乎哉問也。歲木不及，燥乃大行，生氣失應，草木晚榮，肅殺而甚，則剛木辟著，悉萎蒼乾，上應太白星。
帝曰：善。其不及何如？歧伯曰：悉乎哉问也。岁木不及，燥乃大行，生气失应，草木晚荣，肃杀而甚，则刚木辟著，悉萎苍干，上应太白星。
Dì yuē: shàn. Qí bù jí hé rú? Qí bó yuē: xī hū zāi wèn yě. Suì mù bù jí, zào nǎi dà xíng, shēng qì shī yìng, cǎo mù wǎn róng, sù shā ér shèn, zé gāng mù pì zhuó, xī wěi cāng gān, shàng yìng tài bái xīng.
黄帝说：好。不及又是怎样的？歧伯说：您问得真周详啊。木运不及的年份，燥气于是大行，生发之气不能应时，草木推迟繁荣；肃杀之气太甚，则刚硬的树木被劈裂，全都枯萎而青苍干槁，在上与太白星相应。
Huang Di said: good. And what is it like when it falls short? Qi Bo said: how thorough the question is. In a year of wood falling short, dryness then moves greatly, the qi of growth loses its answering, and plants and trees flower late. If the severity and killing is extreme, the hard trees are split and broken and all of them wilt, blue-green and dry; it answers above to Venus.
Mín bìng zhōng qīng, qū xié tòng, shào fù tòng, cháng míng táng xiè, liáng yǔ shí zhì, shàng yìng tài bái xīng. Qí gǔ cāng. Shàng lín yáng míng, shēng qì shī zhèng, cǎo mù zài róng, huà qì nǎi jí, shàng yìng tài bái, zhèn xīng, qí zhǔ cāng zǎo.
人们患中焦虚寒，胠胁疼痛，少腹疼痛，肠鸣、溏泄，凉雨按时而至，在上与太白星相应，其谷色苍。若上临阳明，生气失其施政，草木重新繁荣，化气于是急促，在上与太白、镇星相应，其主苍色之物早凋。
The people are ill with clear cold in the centre, pain in the flank below the armpit, pain in the lower abdomen, rumbling bowels and sloppy diarrhoea; cool rain arrives in season; it answers above to Venus. Its grain is blue-green. If yang brightness presides above, the qi of growth loses its governance, plants and trees flourish a second time, and the qi of transformation becomes hurried; it answers above to Venus and Saturn, and what it governs is the blue-green that comes early.

復則炎暑流火，濕性燥，柔脆草木焦槁，下體再生，華實齊化，病寒熱瘡瘍，疿胗癰痤。
复则炎暑流火，湿性燥，柔脆草木焦槁，下体再生，华实齐化，病寒热疮疡，疿胗痈痤。

到了复气发作，则是炎暑流火，湿性转为干燥，柔脆的草木焦枯，而从下部重新生长，开花与结果同时发生；人们患寒热、疮疡、痱子、疹子、痈、痤。
Then revenge comes: blazing summer heat streams fire, what is damp in nature turns dry, the soft and brittle plants are scorched and withered and grow again from their lower parts, and flowers and fruits form together. The people are ill with cold and heat, sores and ulcers, prickly heat, rashes, abscesses and acne.

上應熒惑、太白，其榖白堅。白露早降，收殺氣行，寒雨害物，蟲食甘黄，脾土受邪，赤氣後化，心氣晚治，上勝肺金，白氣乃屈，其榖不成，欬而鼽，上應熒惑、太白星。
上应荧惑、太白，其谷白坚。白露早降，收杀气行，寒雨害物，虫食甘黄，脾土受邪，赤气后化，心气晚治，上胜肺金，白气乃屈，其谷不成，欬而鼽，上应荧惑、太白星。
Shàng yìng yíng huò, tài bái, qí gǔ bái jiān. Bái lù zǎo jiàng, shōu shā qì xíng, hán yǔ hài wù, chóng shí gān huáng, pí tǔ shòu xié, chì qì hòu huà, xīn qì wǎn zhì, shàng shèng fèi jīn, bái qì nǎi qū, qí gǔ bù chéng, kài ér qiú, shàng yìng yíng huò, tài bái xīng.
在上与荧惑、太白相应，其谷白而坚。白露提早下降，收敛肃杀之气运行，寒冷的雨水伤害万物，虫类蛀食甘黄之物，脾土受邪；赤气后化，心气晚于主治，火气上胜肺金，白气于是屈伏，其谷不能成熟，咳嗽而流清涕；在上与荧惑、太白星相应。
It answers above to Mars and Venus, and its grain is white and hard. White dew falls early, the qi of gathering and killing moves, cold rain harms things, insects eat the sweet and the yellow, and the earth of the spleen receives evil. The red qi transforms late and the qi of the heart governs late; what is above prevails over the metal of the lung and the white qi is bent; its grain does not form, and there is coughing with a running nose. It answers above to Mars and Venus.

In a year of fire falling short, cold then moves greatly, the governance of growth is not used, and things flourish and then sink. If the congealing bleakness is extreme, the yang qi does not transform and the glory and the beauty are snapped off; it answers above to Mercury. The people are ill with pain in the chest, propping fullness in the flanks, pain in both flanks, pain between the breast, the back and the shoulder blades and on the inner side of both arms, pent-up veiling and dimness, pain in the heart and sudden loss of voice, enlargement of the chest and abdomen, and pain under the flanks drawing into the back and loins; if it is severe they cannot straighten after bending, and the hip and the thigh feel as if they were sundered; it answers above to Mars and Mercury, and its grain is red. When revenge comes there is pent-up dust, great rain is about to arrive, and the black qi is put to shame; the people are ill with duck’s diarrhoea and fullness of the abdomen, food and drink do not go down, cold in the centre and rumbling in the bowels, discharge pouring with pain in the abdomen, sudden cramp, limpness and impediment, and the feet no longer bearing the body; it answers above to Saturn and Mercury, and the dark grain does not form.

土运不及的年份，风气于是大行，化气不能行令，草木虽茂盛繁荣，却飘摇太甚，只开花而不结实，在上与岁星相应。人们患完谷不化的泄泻与霍乱，身体沉重、腹痛，筋骨摇动而复，肌肉跳动酸痛，容易发怒；藏气当令行事，蛰虫早早依附，都患中寒之病；在上与岁星、镇星相应。
In a year of earth falling short, wind then moves greatly, the qi of transformation issues no command, and though plants and trees grow lush they are tossed about and flower without setting fruit; it answers above to Jupiter. The people are ill with gruel diarrhoea and sudden turmoil, a heavy body and pain in the abdomen, sinews and bones that shake and return, flesh that twitches and is sore, and quickness to anger; the qi of storage takes up its work, the hibernating creatures attach themselves early, and all are ill with cold in the centre; it answers above to Jupiter and Saturn.

其榖黅。復則收政嚴峻，名木蒼凋，胸脅暴痛，下引少腹，善大息。蟲食甘黄，氣客於脾，黅榖乃減，民食少失味，蒼榖乃損。

其谷色黄。复气发作则收敛之政严峻，高大的树木青苍凋落，胸胁突然剧痛，向下牵引少腹，常常长叹。虫类蛀食甘黄之物，邪气客留于脾，黄色之谷于是减产，人们进食减少、失去味觉，青色之谷也受损。
Its grain is yellow. When revenge comes the governance of gathering is stern and harsh, the great trees wither blue-green, there is sudden pain in the chest and flanks drawing down into the lower abdomen, and frequent deep sighing. Insects eat the sweet and the yellow, the qi lodges in the spleen, the yellow grain is diminished, the people eat little and lose their taste, and the blue-green grain is spoiled.
Shàng yìng tài bái suì xīng. Shàng lín jué yīn, liú shuǐ bù bīng, zhé chóng lái xiàn, zàng qì bù yòng, bái nǎi bù fù, shàng yìng suì xīng, mín nǎi kāng.
在上与太白、岁星相应。若上临厥阴，则流水不结冰，蛰虫出来现身，藏气不得施用，白气于是不再来复，在上与岁星相应，人们安康。
It answers above to Venus and Jupiter. If ceasing yin presides above, running water does not freeze, the hibernating creatures come out and are seen, the qi of storage is not used, and the white does not take its revenge; it answers above to Jupiter and the people are at peace.

In a year of metal falling short, blazing fire then moves, the qi of growth is put to use, the qi of growth to maturity prevails alone, the many things grow lush, and a parching, scorching qi moves; it answers above to Mars. The people are ill with heaviness and dizziness in the shoulder and back, a stopped nose and sneezing, blood in the stool pouring below; the qi of gathering comes late; it answers above to Venus, and its grain is hard and awned.

The qi of storage does not govern and the qi of the kidney is not balanced; it answers above to Mercury, and its grain is black millet. If greater yin presides above, great cold rises repeatedly, the hibernating creatures hide early, hard ice gathers on the ground, and the light of the sun does not govern.

民病寒疾於下，甚則腹滿浮腫，上應鎮星，其主黅榖。復則大風暴發，草偃木零，生長不鮮，面色時變，筋骨併辟，肉膶瘛，目視䀮䀮，物疏璺，肌肉胗發，氣并鬲中，痛於心腹，黄氣乃損，其榖不登，上應歲星。

夫五運之政，猶權衡也，高者抑之，下者舉之，化者應之，變者復之。此生長化成收藏之理，氣之常也。失常則天地四塞矣。故曰：天地之動靜，神明爲之紀；陰陽之往復，寒暑彰其兆。此之謂也。
夫五运之政，犹权衡也，高者抑之，下者举之，化者应之，变者复之。此生长化成收藏之理，气之常也。失常则天地四塞矣。故曰：天地之动静，神明为之纪；阴阳之往复，寒暑彰其兆。此之谓也。
Fú wǔ yùn zhī zhèng, yóu quán héng yě, gāo zhě yì zhī, xià zhě jǔ zhī, huà zhě yìng zhī, biàn zhě fù zhī. Cǐ shēng zhǎng huà chéng shōu cáng zhī lǐ, qì zhī cháng yě. Shī cháng zé tiān dì sì sè yǐ. Gù yuē: tiān dì zhī dòng jìng, shén míng wéi zhī jì; yīn yáng zhī wǎng fù, hán shǔ zhāng qí zhào. Cǐ zhī wèi yě.
五运的施政，就像秤锤与秤杆一样：高的压下它，低的抬起它，有化的就应之，有变的就复之。这是生长化成收藏的道理，是气的常道。失去常道，天地就四面闭塞了。所以说：天地的动静，以神明为纲纪；阴阳的往来反复，由寒暑显示它的征兆。说的就是这个。
The governance of the five circuits is like the weight and the beam: what is high is pressed down, what is low is lifted up, what transforms is answered, and what changes is revenged. This is the pattern of growth, maturation, transformation, completion, gathering and storage — the constant of the qi. Lose the constant and heaven and earth are blocked on all four sides. Hence it is said: the movement and stillness of heaven and earth have spirit brightness as their record; the going and returning of yin and yang have cold and summer heat to display their omens. This is what that means.

帝曰：夫子之言五氣之變，四時之應，可謂悉矣。夫氣之動亂，觸遇而作，發無常會，卒然災合，何以期之？
帝曰：夫子之言五气之变，四时之应，可谓悉矣。夫气之动乱，触遇而作，发无常会，卒然灾合，何以期之？
Dì yuē: fū zǐ zhī yán wǔ qì zhī biàn, sì shí zhī yìng, kě wèi xī yǐ. Fú qì zhī dòng luàn, chù yù ér zuò, fā wú cháng huì, cù rán zāi hé, hé yǐ qī zhī?
黄帝说：夫子所讲的五气的变化、四时的应象，可以说周详了。但气的动乱，是触遇而发作，发作没有固定的际会，猝然与灾害相合，用什么来预期它呢？
Huang Di said: what you have said, master, of the changes of the five qi and the answering of the four seasons may be called complete. But the stirring and disorder of the qi arises where it touches and meets; its outbreak has no constant occasion, and of a sudden disaster joins it — how is one to anticipate it?

歧伯曰：夫氣之動變，固不常在，而德化政令災變，不同其候也。帝曰：何謂也？歧伯曰：東方生風，風生木，其德敷和，其化生榮，其政舒啓，其令風，其變振發，其災散落。
歧伯曰：夫气之动变，固不常在，而德化政令灾变，不同其候也。帝曰：何谓也？歧伯曰：东方生风，风生木，其德敷和，其化生荣，其政舒启，其令风，其变振发，其灾散落。
Qí bó yuē: fú qì zhī dòng biàn, gù bù cháng zài, ér dé huà zhèng lìng zāi biàn, bù tóng qí hòu yě. Dì yuē: hé wèi yě? Qí bó yuē: dōng fāng shēng fēng, fēng shēng mù, qí dé fū hé, qí huà shēng róng, qí zhèng shū qǐ, qí lìng fēng, qí biàn zhèn fā, qí zāi sàn luò.
歧伯说：气的动变本来不常固定，而德、化、政、令、灾、变各有不同的征候。黄帝说：这怎么讲？歧伯说：东方生风，风生木；它的德是敷布和气，它的化是生长繁荣，它的政是舒展开启，它的令是风，它的变是振动发作，它的灾害是散落。
Qi Bo said: the stirring changes of the qi are by nature not constant, and virtue, transformation, governance, command, disaster and change do not share the same signs. Huang Di said: what does that mean? Qi Bo said: the east generates wind and wind generates wood. Its virtue is harmony spread abroad, its transformation growth and flowering, its governance opening and spreading, its command wind, its change shaking and bursting forth, its disaster scattering and falling.

南方生熱，熱生火，其德彰顯，其化蕃茂，其政明曜，其令熱，其變銷爍，其災燔爇。
南方生热，热生火，其德彰显，其化蕃茂，其政明曜，其令热，其变销烁，其灾燔爇。
Nán fāng shēng rè, rè shēng huǒ, qí dé zhāng xiǎn, qí huà fán mào, qí zhèng míng yào, qí lìng rè, qí biàn xiāo shuò, qí zāi fán ruò.
南方生热，热生火；它的德是彰显光耀，它的化是繁盛茂密，它的政是明亮照耀，它的令是热，它的变是销熔灼烁，它的灾害是焚烧。
The south generates heat and heat generates fire. Its virtue is manifest display, its transformation lush abundance, its governance bright shining, its command heat, its change melting and scorching, its disaster burning and blazing.
32
中央生濕，濕生土，其德溽蒸，其化豐備，其政安靜，其令濕，其變驟注，其災霖潰。
中央生湿，湿生土，其德溽蒸，其化丰备，其政安静，其令湿，其变骤注，其灾霖溃。
Zhōng yāng shēng shī, shī shēng tǔ, qí dé rù zhēng, qí huà fēng bèi, qí zhèng ān jìng, qí lìng shī, qí biàn zhòu zhù, qí zāi lín kuì.
中央生湿，湿生土；它的德是湿润蒸腾，它的化是丰盛完备，它的政是安静，它的令是湿，它的变是骤然倾注，它的灾害是久雨溃决。
The centre generates dampness and dampness generates earth. Its virtue is moist steaming, its transformation rich provision, its governance quiet and still, its command dampness, its change sudden pouring, its disaster long rain that bursts and washes away.
33
西方生燥，燥生金，其德清潔，其化緊斂，其政勁切，其令燥，其變肅殺，其災蒼隕。
西方生燥，燥生金，其德清洁，其化紧敛，其政劲切，其令燥，其变肃杀，其灾苍陨。
Xī fāng shēng zào, zào shēng jīn, qí dé qīng jié, qí huà jǐn liǎn, qí zhèng jìng qiè, qí lìng zào, qí biàn sù shā, qí zāi cāng yǔn.
西方生燥，燥生金；它的德是清肃洁净，它的化是收紧收敛，它的政是强劲急切，它的令是燥，它的变是肃杀，它的灾害是青苍之物陨落。
The west generates dryness and dryness generates metal. Its virtue is clear and pure, its transformation tightening and drawing in, its governance strong and sharp, its command dryness, its change severity and killing, its disaster the blue-green falling.
34
北方生寒，寒生水，其德淒滄，其化清謐，其政凝肅，其令寒，其變凓冽，其災冰雪霜雹。是以察其動也，有德、有化，有政、有令，有變有災，而物由之，而人應之也。
北方生寒，寒生水，其德凄沧，其化清谧，其政凝肃，其令寒，其变凓冽，其灾冰雪霜雹。是以察其动也，有德、有化，有政、有令，有变有灾，而物由之，而人应之也。
Běi fāng shēng hán, hán shēng shuǐ, qí dé qī cāng, qí huà qīng mì, qí zhèng níng sù, qí lìng hán, qí biàn lì liè, qí zāi bīng xuě shuāng báo. Shì yǐ chá qí dòng yě, yǒu dé, yǒu huà, yǒu zhèng, yǒu lìng, yǒu biàn yǒu zāi, ér wù yóu zhī, ér rén yìng zhī yě.
北方生寒，寒生水；它的德是凄清寒凉，它的化是清静安宁，它的政是凝结肃整，它的令是寒，它的变是凛冽严寒，它的灾害是冰、雪、霜、雹。所以观察它的变动，有德、有化，有政、有令，有变、有灾，万物由此而生，人也随之相应。
The north generates cold and cold generates water. Its virtue is bleak and chill, its transformation clear and still, its governance congealing and ordered, its command cold, its change bitter and piercing, its disaster ice, snow, frost and hail. And so, watching its movement, there is virtue and there is transformation, there is governance and there is command, there is change and there is disaster; things follow from them and the human being answers to them.
35
帝曰：夫子之言，歲候不及其太過而上應五星。今夫德化政令，災眚變易，非常而有也。卒然而動，其亦爲之變乎？
帝曰：夫子之言，岁候不及其太过而上应五星。今夫德化政令，灾眚变易，非常而有也。卒然而动，其亦为之变乎？
Dì yuē: fū zǐ zhī yán, suì hòu bù jí qí tài guò ér shàng yìng wǔ xīng. Jīn fú dé huà zhèng lìng, zāi shěng biàn yì, fēi cháng ér yǒu yě. Cù rán ér dòng, qí yì wéi zhī biàn hū?
黄帝说：夫子说过，岁候的不及与太过，在上与五星相应。如今德、化、政、令、灾眚、变易，并不是常有的。猝然发动，五星也会随之变动吗？
Huang Di said: you have said, master, that when the year’s signs fall short or are in surplus they answer above to the five planets. Now virtue, transformation, governance and command, disaster, calamity, change and exchange are not constant possessions. When they stir of a sudden, do the planets also change for them?
36
歧伯曰：承天而行之，故無妄動，無不應也。卒然而動者，氣之交變也，其不應焉，故曰：應常不應卒，此之謂也。
歧伯曰：承天而行之，故无妄动，无不应也。卒然而动者，气之交变也，其不应焉，故曰：应常不应卒，此之谓也。
Qí bó yuē: chéng tiān ér xíng zhī, gù wú wàng dòng, wú bù yìng yě. Cù rán ér dòng zhě, qì zhī jiāo biàn yě, qí bù yìng yān, gù yuē: yìng cháng bù yìng cù, cǐ zhī wèi yě.
歧伯说：五星是承奉天道而运行的，所以不会妄动，没有不与天道相应的。猝然而动的那些，是气的交变，五星并不与之相应。所以说：应常而不应猝，说的就是这个。
Qi Bo said: they move by receiving from heaven, and so they do not move wildly and there is nothing they do not answer to. What stirs of a sudden is the meeting and change of the qi, and they do not answer to it. Hence it is said: they answer to the constant and do not answer to the sudden. This is what that means.
37
帝曰：其應柰何？歧伯曰：各從其氣化也。帝曰：其行之徐疾逆順何如？歧伯曰：以道留久，逆守而小，是謂省下。
帝曰：其应奈何？歧伯曰：各从其气化也。帝曰：其行之徐疾逆顺何如？歧伯曰：以道留久，逆守而小，是谓省下。
Dì yuē: qí yìng nài hé? Qí bó yuē: gè cóng qí qì huà yě. Dì yuē: qí xíng zhī xú jí nì shùn hé rú? Qí bó yuē: yǐ dào liú jiǔ, nì shǒu ér xiǎo, shì wèi xǐng xià.
黄帝说：它们是怎样相应的？歧伯说：各自随从它的气化。黄帝说：它们运行的快慢、逆顺是怎样的？歧伯说：顺着轨道停留长久，逆行留守而且光芒变小，这叫作省下。
Huang Di said: how do they answer? Qi Bo said: each follows the transformation of its own qi. Huang Di said: what of the slowness and speed of their course, their counterflow and accord? Qi Bo said: to stay long upon its path, to go counter and halt and grow small — this is called inspecting below.
38
以道而去，去而速來，曲而過之，是謂省遺過也。久留而環，或離或附，是謂議災與其德也，應近則小，應遠則大。
以道而去，去而速来，曲而过之，是谓省遗过也。久留而环，或离或附，是谓议灾与其德也，应近则小，应远则大。
Yǐ dào ér qù, qù ér sù lái, qū ér guò zhī, shì wèi xǐng yí guò yě. Jiǔ liú ér huán, huò lí huò fù, shì wèi yì zāi yǔ qí dé yě, yìng jìn zé xiǎo, yìng yuǎn zé dà.
顺着轨道离去，离去又迅速回来，迂曲而过，这叫作省察遗漏的过失。长久停留而回环，或者离开、或者依附，这叫作议论灾害与其德；应在近处则其象小，应在远处则其象大。
To leave by its path, to go and return swiftly, to pass by in a bend — this is called inspecting what was missed and what went amiss. To stay long and go in a ring, now leaving and now clinging — this is called deliberating on the disaster and on the virtue of it. If the answering is near, the sign is small; if it is far, the sign is great.
39
芒而大，倍常之一，其化甚；大常之二，其眚即也。小常之一，其化減；小常之二，是謂臨視，省下之過與其德也。
芒而大，倍常之一，其化甚；大常之二，其眚即也。小常之一，其化减；小常之二，是谓临视，省下之过与其德也。
Máng ér dà, bèi cháng zhī yī, qí huà shèn; dà cháng zhī èr, qí shěng jí yě. Xiǎo cháng zhī yī, qí huà jiǎn; xiǎo cháng zhī èr, shì wèi lín shì, xǐng xià zhī guò yǔ qí dé yě.
光芒大，超过常度一倍，其气化就太甚；超过常度二倍，灾害就立即发作。小于常度一倍，其气化就减退；小于常度二倍，这叫作临视，是省察下面的过失与其德。
If the rays are large — one times more than the constant — its transformation is severe; two times more than the constant, and its calamity arrives at once. One times less than the constant, and its transformation is diminished; two times less, and this is called looking down upon it: inspecting the faults below and the virtue of it.
40
德者福之，過者伐之，是以象之見也，高而遠則小，下而近則大。故大則喜怒邇，小則禍福遠。
德者福之，过者伐之，是以象之见也，高而远则小，下而近则大。故大则喜怒迩，小则祸福远。
Dé zhě fú zhī, guò zhě fá zhī, shì yǐ xiàng zhī xiàn yě, gāo ér yuǎn zé xiǎo, xià ér jìn zé dà. Gù dà zé xǐ nù ěr, xiǎo zé huò fú yuǎn.
有德的赐福给它，有过失的攻伐它。所以星象的出现，高而远的就小，下而近的就大。所以星象大则喜怒临近，星象小则祸福遥远。
What has virtue is blessed, what has fault is attacked. Therefore when the image appears, high and far it is small, low and near it is great. Hence when it is great, joy and anger are near; when it is small, good fortune and ill are far off.
41
歲運太過，則運星北越；運氣相得，則各行以道。故歲運太過，畏星失色，而兼其母，不及，則色兼其所不勝。
岁运太过，则运星北越；运气相得，则各行以道。故岁运太过，畏星失色，而兼其母，不及，则色兼其所不胜。
Suì yùn tài guò, zé yùn xīng běi yuè; yùn qì xiāng dé, zé gè xíng yǐ dào. Gù suì yùn tài guò, wèi xīng shī sè, ér jiān qí mǔ, bù jí, zé sè jiān qí suǒ bù shèng.
岁运太过，则该运之星向北越出常度；运气相得，就各循其道而行。所以岁运太过，被克之星失去本色，而兼见其母星之色；岁运不及，则其色兼见其所不胜之星的颜色。
When the circuit of the year is in surplus, the star of the circuit crosses to the north; when the circuit and the qi obtain one another, each travels by its own path. Therefore when the year’s circuit is in surplus, the awed star loses its colour and takes on that of its mother; when it falls short, its colour takes on that of what it cannot prevail over.
42
肖者瞿瞿，莫知其妙，閔閔之當，孰者爲良？妄行無徴，示畏侯王。帝曰：其災應何如？歧伯曰：亦各從其化也。故時至有盛衰，凌犯有逆順，留守有多少，形見有善惡，宿屬有勝負，徴應有吉凶矣。
肖者瞿瞿，莫知其妙，闵闵之当，孰者为良？妄行无征，示畏侯王。帝曰：其灾应何如？歧伯曰：亦各从其化也。故时至有盛衰，凌犯有逆顺，留守有多少，形见有善恶，宿属有胜负，征应有吉凶矣。
Xiào zhě jù jù, mò zhī qí miào, mǐn mǐn zhī dāng, shú zhě wéi liáng? Wàng xíng wú zhēng, shì wèi hóu wáng. Dì yuē: qí zāi yìng hé rú? Qí bó yuē: yì gè cóng qí huà yě. Gù shí zhì yǒu shèng shuāi, líng fàn yǒu nì shùn, liú shǒu yǒu duō shǎo, xíng xiàn yǒu shàn è, sù shǔ yǒu shèng fù, zhēng yìng yǒu jí xiōng yǐ.
那显象令人瞿瞿然惊顾，没有人知道它的奥妙；闵闵然深求其至当，又有谁堪称高明？妄自行动而没有征验，只是显示畏惧给侯王看罢了。黄帝说：灾害的应验是怎样的？歧伯说：也各自随从它的气化。所以时令到来有盛有衰，凌犯有逆有顺，留守有多有少，形见的征象有善有恶，所属星宿有胜有负，征应也就有吉有凶了。
The image startles and looks about, and none knows its subtlety; anxiously searching for what is fitting, who among them is good? To act recklessly with no omen is only to display dread before the lords and kings. Huang Di said: how does the disaster answer? Qi Bo said: it too follows each one’s transformation. And so the arrival of the season has its flourishing and its decline, approaching and infringing have their counterflow and accord, halting and staying have their many and their few, the forms that appear have their good and their evil, the lodges they belong to have their prevailing and their losing, and the omen and its answering have their good fortune and their ill.
43
帝曰：其善惡何謂也？歧伯曰：有喜有怒，有憂有喪，有澤有燥，此象之常也，必謹察之。
帝曰：其善恶何谓也？歧伯曰：有喜有怒，有忧有丧，有泽有燥，此象之常也，必谨察之。
Dì yuē: qí shàn è hé wèi yě? Qí bó yuē: yǒu xǐ yǒu nù, yǒu yōu yǒu sāng, yǒu zé yǒu zào, cǐ xiàng zhī cháng yě, bì jǐn chá zhī.
黄帝说：善恶是指什么？歧伯说：有喜悦之象、有愤怒之象，有忧戚之象、有丧亡之象，有润泽之象、有枯燥之象，这都是星象的常态，必须谨慎观察。
Huang Di said: what is meant by the good and the evil? Qi Bo said: there is joy and there is anger, there is sorrow and there is mourning, there is gloss and there is dryness. These are the constants of the images; one must observe them carefully.
44
帝曰：六者高下異乎？岐伯曰：象見高下，其應一也，故人亦應之。帝曰：善。其德化政令之動靜損益，皆何如？
帝曰：六者高下异乎？岐伯曰：象见高下，其应一也，故人亦应之。帝曰：善。其德化政令之动静损益，皆何如？
Dì yuē: liù zhě gāo xià yì hū? Qí bó yuē: xiàng xiàn gāo xià, qí yìng yī yě, gù rén yì yìng zhī. Dì yuē: shàn. Qí dé huà zhèng lìng zhī dòng jìng sǔn yì, jiē hé rú?
黄帝说：这六种征象，出现在高处与低处有区别吗？歧伯说：征象显现于高或低，它的应验是一样的，所以人也一样相应。黄帝说：好。德、化、政、令的动静损益，又都是怎样的呢？
Huang Di said: do these six differ as high or low? Qi Bo said: whether the image appears high or low, its answering is one; and so the human being also answers to it. Huang Di said: good. And the movement and stillness, the loss and the gain of virtue, transformation, governance and command — what are they all like?
45
歧伯曰：夫德化政令災變，不能相加也，勝復盛衰，不能相多也，往來小大，不能相過也，用之升降，不能相無也，各從其動而復之耳。
歧伯曰：夫德化政令灾变，不能相加也，胜复盛衰，不能相多也，往来小大，不能相过也，用之升降，不能相无也，各从其动而复之耳。
Qí bó yuē: fú dé huà zhèng lìng zāi biàn, bù néng xiāng jiā yě, shèng fù shèng shuāi, bù néng xiāng duō yě, wǎng lái xiǎo dà, bù néng xiāng guò yě, yòng zhī shēng jiàng, bù néng xiāng wú yě, gè cóng qí dòng ér fù zhī ěr.
歧伯说：德、化、政、令、灾、变，不能相互增益；胜复盛衰，不能相互增多；往来大小，不能相互越过；升降的作用，不能相互缺少；各自随从它的变动而往复罢了。
Qi Bo said: virtue, transformation, governance, command, disaster and change cannot be added to one another; prevalence and revenge, flourishing and decline, cannot be multiplied in one another; coming and going, small and great, cannot pass beyond one another; in their use, rising and falling, they cannot do without one another. Each follows its own movement and returns.
46
帝曰：其病生何如？歧伯曰：德化者，氣之祥；政令者，氣之章；變易者，復之紀；災眚者，傷之始。氣相勝者和，不相勝者病，重感於邪則甚也。
帝曰：其病生何如？歧伯曰：德化者，气之祥；政令者，气之章；变易者，复之纪；灾眚者，伤之始。气相胜者和，不相胜者病，重感于邪则甚也。
Dì yuē: qí bìng shēng hé rú? Qí bó yuē: dé huà zhě, qì zhī xiáng; zhèng lìng zhě, qì zhī zhāng; biàn yì zhě, fù zhī jì; zāi shěng zhě, shāng zhī shǐ. Qì xiāng shèng zhě hé, bù xiāng shèng zhě bìng, chóng gǎn yú xié zé shèn yě.
黄帝说：疾病是怎样发生的？歧伯说：德与化，是气的吉祥之象；政与令，是气的彰显；变易，是复气的纲纪；灾与眚，是损伤的开始。气能相互制约的就和谐，不能相互制约的就生病；再次感受邪气，病就加重了。
Huang Di said: how does illness arise? Qi Bo said: virtue and transformation are the good omens of the qi; governance and command are its display; change and exchange are the record of revenge; disaster and calamity are the beginning of harm. Where the qi prevail upon one another in turn there is harmony; where they do not, there is illness; and if evil is felt a second time, it is severe.
47
帝曰：善。所謂精光之論，大聖之業，宣明大道，通於無窮，究於無極也。余聞之，善言天者，必應於人；善言古者，必驗於今；善言氣者，必彰於物；善言應者，同天地之化；善言化言變者，通神明之理。非夫子孰能言至道歟？乃擇良兆而藏之靈室，每旦讀之，命曰氣交變，非齊戒不敢發，慎傳也。
帝曰：善。所谓精光之论，大圣之业，宣明大道，通于无穷，究于无极也。余闻之，善言天者，必应于人；善言古者，必验于今；善言气者，必彰于物；善言应者，同天地之化；善言化言变者，通神明之理。非夫子孰能言至道欤？乃择良兆而藏之灵室，每旦读之，命曰气交变，非斋戒不敢发，慎传也。
Dì yuē: shàn. Suǒ wèi jīng guāng zhī lùn, dà shèng zhī yè, xuān míng dà dào, tōng yú wú qióng, jiū yú wú jí yě. Yú wén zhī, shàn yán tiān zhě, bì yìng yú rén; shàn yán gǔ zhě, bì yàn yú jīn; shàn yán qì zhě, bì zhāng yú wù; shàn yán yìng zhě, tóng tiān dì zhī huà; shàn yán huà yán biàn zhě, tōng shén míng zhī lǐ. Fēi fū zǐ shú néng yán zhì dào yú? Nǎi zé liáng zhào ér cáng zhī líng shì, měi dàn dú zhī, mìng yuē qì jiāo biàn, fēi zhāi jiè bù gǎn fā, shèn chuán yě.
黄帝说：好。这就是所谓精纯光明的论述、大圣的事业，可以宣明大道，通达于无穷，究极于无极。我听说：善于谈论天的，必定能应验于人；善于谈论古的，必定能验证于今；善于谈论气的，必定能彰显于物；善于谈论应象的，能与天地的化育相同；善于谈论化与变的，能通达神明的道理。除了夫子，谁能讲出这样的至道呢？于是选择吉日良兆，把它藏在灵室之中，每天早晨诵读，命名为《气交变》；不斋戒就不敢开启，要慎重地传授啊。
Huang Di said: good. This is what is called the discourse of essential light, the work of the great sage: it proclaims and makes bright the great way, reaching into the endless and fathoming the boundless. I have heard it said that he who speaks well of heaven must find its answer in the human being; he who speaks well of antiquity must find its proof in the present; he who speaks well of the qi must find it displayed in things; he who speaks well of answering is at one with the transformation of heaven and earth; he who speaks well of transformation and of change penetrates the pattern of spirit brightness. Who but you, master, could speak the utmost way? So I have chosen a good omen and laid it away in the chamber of the spirit, reading it every morning; it is named the Meeting of the Qi and Change. Without fasting and purification I dare not open it — hand it on with care.
