黄帝問曰：六化六變，勝復淫治，甘苦辛鹹酸淡先後，余知之矣。夫五運之化，或從五氣，或逆天氣；或從天氣，而逆地氣；或從地氣，而逆天氣；或相得，或不相得，余未能明其事。欲通天之紀，從地之理，和其運，調其化，使上下合德，無相奪倫，天地升降，不失其宜，五運宣行，勿乖其政，調之正味，從逆奈何？
黄帝问曰：六化六变，胜复淫治，甘苦辛咸酸淡先后，余知之矣。夫五运之化，或从五气，或逆天气；或从天气，而逆地气；或从地气，而逆天气；或相得，或不相得，余未能明其事。欲通天之纪，从地之理，和其运，调其化，使上下合德，无相夺伦，天地升降，不失其宜，五运宣行，勿乖其政，调之正味，从逆奈何？
Huáng dì wèn yuē: liù huà liù biàn, shèng fù yín zhì, gān kǔ xīn xián suān dàn xiān hòu, yú zhī zhī yǐ. Fú wǔ yùn zhī huà, huò cóng wǔ qì, huò nì tiān qì; huò cóng tiān qì, ér nì dì qì; huò cóng dì qì, ér nì tiān qì; huò xiāng dé, huò bù xiāng dé, yú wèi néng míng qí shì. Yù tōng tiān zhī jì, cóng dì zhī lǐ, hé qí yùn, tiáo qí huà, shǐ shàng xià hé dé, wú xiāng duó lún, tiān dì shēng jiàng, bù shī qí yí, wǔ yùn xuān xíng, wù guāi qí zhèng, tiáo zhī zhèng wèi, cóng nì nài hé?
黄帝问道：六化六变、胜复淫治、甘苦辛咸酸淡的先后，我已经知道了。至于五运的化育，有的顺从五气，有的违逆天气；有的顺从天气而违逆地气；有的顺从地气而违逆天气；有的相得，有的不相得，我还不明白其中的缘故。我想贯通天的纲纪，依循地的道理，调和其运，调理其化，使上下合德，不相侵夺次序，天地升降不失其宜，五运宣行不违背它的政令，再用正味来调治，其中的顺与逆该怎么办？
Huang Di asked: the six transformations and six changes, prevalence and revenge, excess and governance, and the order of sweet, bitter, pungent, salty, sour and bland — I know them already. But as to the transformations of the five circuits: some follow the five qi, some oppose the qi of heaven; some follow the qi of heaven and oppose the qi of earth; some follow the qi of earth and oppose the qi of heaven; some are in accord and some are not in accord — I have not been able to make these matters clear. I wish to thread the order of heaven, follow the pattern of earth, harmonise the circuits and tune the transformations, so that above and below join in virtue and do not steal one another’s order, so that the rising and falling of heaven and earth lose nothing of what is fitting and the five circuits spread and move without thwarting their governance. When one adjusts them with the correct flavours, what of following and opposing?

歧伯稽首再拜對曰：昭乎哉問也。此天地之綱紀。變化之淵源。非聖帝孰能窮其至理歟？臣雖不敏。請陳其道。令終不滅。久而不易。帝曰：願夫子推而次之。從其類序，分其部主。别其宗司，昭其氣數。明其正化，可得聞乎？歧伯曰：先立其年，以明其氣。金木水火土運行之數。寒暑燥濕風火臨御之化。則天道可見。民氣可調。陰陽卷舒，近而無惑。數之可數者，請遂言之。
歧伯稽首再拜对曰：昭乎哉问也。此天地之纲纪。变化之渊源。非圣帝孰能穷其至理欤？臣虽不敏。请陈其道。令终不灭。久而不易。帝曰：愿夫子推而次之。从其类序，分其部主。别其宗司，昭其气数。明其正化，可得闻乎？歧伯曰：先立其年，以明其气。金木水火土运行之数。寒暑燥湿风火临御之化。则天道可见。民气可调。阴阳卷舒，近而无惑。数之可数者，请遂言之。
Qí bó qǐ shǒu zài bài duì yuē: zhāo hū zāi wèn yě. Cǐ tiān dì zhī gāng jì. Biàn huà zhī yuān yuán. Fēi shèng dì shú néng qióng qí zhì lǐ yú? Chén suī bù mǐn. Qǐng chén qí dào. Lìng zhōng bù miè.

歧伯叩头再拜回答说：问得多么明白啊！这是天地的纲纪，变化的渊源。若不是圣明的帝王，谁能穷尽它的至理呢？臣虽不聪敏，请让我陈述其中的道理，使它终不灭绝、久而不变。黄帝说：希望夫子推演编排它，依从它的类序，区分它的部主，辨别它的宗司，昭明它的气数，讲明它的正化，可以讲给我听吗？歧伯说：先确定年岁，以明其气。金木水火土运行的数，寒暑燥湿风火临御的化，这样天道就可以看见，民气就可以调理，阴阳卷舒，切近而不迷惑。那些可以计数的数目，请让我逐一道来。
Qi Bo bowed his head to the ground, bowed twice again, and answered: how bright the question is! This is the guiding order of heaven and earth, the wellspring of transformation and change. But for a sage emperor, who could exhaust its ultimate principle? Though I am not quick, let me set out its way, so that it never perishes and long endures unchanged. Huang Di said: I would have you push it through and set it in order — by its kinds, its allotments and governors, distinguishing its ancestral offices, making bright its qi and numbers and clear its upright transformation. May I hear it? Qi Bo said: first establish the year to make its qi clear. The numbers of the circuit of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and the transformations by which cold, heat, dryness, dampness, wind and fire come down and govern — then the way of heaven can be seen and the people’s qi tuned; yin and yang roll up and spread out, and what lies near is without confusion. The numbers that can be counted — let me speak of them fully.

Huang Di said: what of the governance of greater yang? Qi Bo said: it is the era of chen and xu.

Greater yu, greater jue, lesser zhi, greater gong, lesser shang.
Fán cǐ tài yáng sī tiān zhī zhèng. Qì huà yùn xíng xiān tiān. Tiān qì sù, dì qì jìng, hán lín tài xū, yáng qì bù lìng, shuǐ tǔ hé dé, shàng yìng chén xīng, zhèn xīng, qí gǔ xuán jīn.

凡是太阳司天的年份，气化运行都先于天时。天气肃厉，地气安静，寒气降临太虚，阳气不能行令，水与土合德，上应辰星、镇星，其谷为玄、黅。其政肃，其令徐，寒政大举，泽中不见阳焰，于是火气等待时机而发，少阳在中主治，时雨至此而止，止到极处雨便散去，还归于太阴，云气朝向北极，湿化于是布行，泽水流行于万物，寒气敷布于上，雷声动于下，寒湿之气拘持于气交之处，百姓发病为寒湿发作，肌肉萎缩，两足痿弱不能收持，濡泻、血溢。
All these, the governance of greater yang governing the heaven: the qi transformation runs ahead of heaven. The qi of heaven is austere, the qi of earth still; cold comes down upon the great void; the yang qi does not issue its commands; water and earth join in virtue; above it answers to Mercury and Saturn; its grain is the dark and the yellow. Its governance is austere, its command slow; the governance of cold is greatly raised, and the marsh has no flame of yang. Then fire waits its time to rise, lesser yang governs in the middle, and the seasonal rain reaches its limit; stopping at the extreme the rain scatters and returns to greater yin. Clouds court the north pole, the damp transformation spreads, the marsh moistens the ten thousand things, cold spreads above and thunder moves below. Cold and damp qi hold at the junction of qi, and the people are ill with cold and damp breaking out: the flesh withers, the feet are limp and cannot be drawn in, there is watery flux and blood spills.

初之气，地气迁移，气候大为温暖，草木提早繁荣，百姓易患疫疠，温病于是发作，身热、头痛、呕吐，肌肤腠理生疮。
The first qi: the qi of earth moves; the qi becomes greatly warm; the grass flourishes early; the people fall ill with pestilence; warm disease arises, with fever, headache, vomiting and sores in the flesh and interstices.
11
二之氣，大涼反至，民乃慘，草乃遇寒，火氣遂抑，民病氣鬱中滿，寒乃始。
二之气，大凉反至，民乃惨，草乃遇寒，火气遂抑，民病气郁中满，寒乃始。

The third qi: the governance of heaven is laid out, cold qi moves, rain falls, and the people are ill with cold — instead there is heat in the centre — with abscesses and running flux below, heat in the heart and dim oppression; those untreated die.
13
四之氣，風濕交争，風化爲雨，乃長，乃化、乃成，民病大熱少氣，肌肉萎，足萎，注下赤白。

The fourth qi: wind and damp contend; wind transforms into rain; things grow, transform and ripen. The people are ill with great heat and scant qi: the flesh withers, the feet are limp, and the flux below is red and white.
14
五之氣，陽復化，草乃長，乃化、乃成，民乃舒。
五之气，阳复化，草乃长，乃化、乃成，民乃舒。
Wǔ zhī qì, yáng fù huà, cǎo nǎi zhǎng, nǎi huà, nǎi chéng, mín nǎi shū.
五之气，阳气重新化育，草类生长、化育、结实，百姓感到舒展。
The fifth qi: yang transforms again; the grass grows, transforms and ripens; the people are at ease.
15

终之气，地气正，湿令行，阴凝太虚，埃昏郊野，民乃惨凄，寒风以至，反者孕乃死。
Zhōng zhī qì, dì qì zhèng, shī lìng xíng, yīn níng tài xū, āi hūn jiāo yě, mín nǎi cǎn qī, hán fēng yǐ zhì, fǎn zhě yùn nǎi sǐ.
终之气，地气正，湿令流行，阴气凝结于太虚，尘埃昏蔽郊野，百姓悲凄，寒风到来，与此相反而行的孕妇会死胎。
The final qi: the qi of earth is upright, the command of dampness moves, yin congeals in the great void, dust darkens the open country, and the people are sad and chill; cold wind arrives, and where it acts contrary the pregnant die.
16
故歲宜苦以燥之，温之，必折其鬱氣，先資其化源，抑其運氣，扶其不勝，無使暴過而生其疾。食歲榖以全其真，避虚邪以安其正。適氣同異，多少制之。同寒濕者，燥熱化，異寒濕者，燥濕化。故同者多之，異者少之。用寒遠寒，用涼遠涼，用温遠温，用熱遠熱。食宜同法，有假者反常，反是者病，所謂時也。
故岁宜苦以燥之，温之，必折其郁气，先资其化源，抑其运气，扶其不胜，无使暴过而生其疾。食岁谷以全其真，避虚邪以安其正。适气同异，多少制之。同寒湿者，燥热化，异寒湿者，燥湿化。故同者多之，异者少之。用寒远寒，用凉远凉，用温远温，用热远热。食宜同法，有假者反常，反是者病，所谓时也。
Gù suì yí kǔ yǐ zào zhī, wēn zhī, bì zhé qí yù qì, xiān zī qí huà yuán, yì qí yùn qì, fú qí bù shèng, wú shǐ bào guò ér shēng qí jí. Shí suì gǔ yǐ quán qí zhēn, bì xū xié yǐ ān qí zhèng. Shì qì tóng yì, duō shǎo zhì zhī. Tóng hán shī zhě, zào rè huà, yì hán shī zhě, zào shī huà. Gù tóng zhě duō zhī, yì zhě shǎo zhī. Yòng hán yuǎn hán, yòng liáng yuǎn liáng, yòng wēn yuǎn wēn, yòng rè yuǎn rè. Shí yí tóng fǎ, yǒu jiǎ zhě fǎn cháng, fǎn shì zhě bìng, suǒ wèi shí yě.
所以这一年宜用苦味来燥它、温它，必须折损它的郁气，先资助它的化源，抑制它的运气，扶助它所不胜之气，不要让暴过发生而生病。吃岁谷以保全真元，避开虚邪以安定正气。根据气之同异，用多少来制约。与寒湿之气相同的，用燥热来化；与寒湿之气不同的，用燥湿来化。所以相同的要多用，不同的要少用。用寒要避开寒，用凉要避开凉，用温要避开温，用热要避开热。饮食也同一法度，有假借的情况就反常而行，违反这些就会生病，这就是所谓时。
Therefore in such a year one should use bitter to dry them and warm them. One must break their pent qi, first aiding the source of their transformation, checking their circuit qi and supporting what they do not prevail over, so that no violent excess arises and brings illness. Eat the grain of the year to keep the true whole, and avoid empty evil to settle the upright. Accord with the same and the different in the qi, and hold them in check by more or less. Where it is the same as cold and damp, transform with dryness and heat; where different from cold and damp, transform with dryness and dampness. Thus what is the same is increased and what is different is decreased. In using cold keep far from cold, in using cool keep far from cool, in using warm keep far from warm, in using heat keep far from heat. Food follows the same rule. Where there is a pretext, one goes contrary to it; to go contrary to this is to fall ill. This is what is called the season.

凡是阳明司天的年份，气化运行后于天时。天气劲急，地气光明，阳气专行其令，炎暑大行，万物干燥而坚硬，淳风主治，风燥横运，流于气交，阳气多而阴气少，云气趋向雨府，湿化于是敷布，燥到极处便化为泽润，其谷为白、丹，间谷取其中过大的，耗损的是白甲之品与羽虫，金火合德，上应太白、荧惑。其政急切，其令暴烈，蛰虫于是出现，流水不结冰。百姓病咳、咽塞，寒热发作，突然振慄、癃闭，清凉之气先来而劲急，毛虫于是死亡，热气后至而暴烈，介虫于是遭殃。
All these, the governance of yang brightness governing the heaven: the qi transformation runs behind heaven. The qi of heaven is urgent, the qi of earth bright; yang has its command alone and scorching heat moves greatly; things are dry and so hard; simple wind governs; wind and dryness move crosswise and flow to the junction of qi; yang is much and yin little; clouds hasten to the rain storehouse; the damp transformation spreads; dryness at its extreme becomes moisture; its grain is the white and the cinnabar, and the intercalary grain is the one that is over; what it consumes is the white-shelled and the feathered; metal and fire join in virtue; above it answers to Venus and Mars. Its governance is pressing, its command violent; the hibernating creatures then appear and running water does not freeze. The people are ill with cough and blocked throat; cold and heat break out; there is sudden shivering, retention and stoppage. When the cool comes first and is hard, the hairy creatures die; when heat comes after and is violent, the shelled creatures are harmed.

初之气，地气迁移，阴气开始凝结，气开始肃杀，水于是结冰，寒化为雨。其病为内热胀满，面目浮肿，嗜睡，鼽衄、喷嚏、呵欠，呕吐，小便黄赤，严重的则淋。
The first qi: the qi of earth moves; yin begins to congeal; the qi begins to be austere; water freezes and cold turns to rain. Its illnesses are heat and distension within, swelling of face and eyes, sleepiness, snivelling, nosebleed, sneezing and yawning, vomiting, yellow-red urine, and in severe cases strangury.
26

終之氣，陽氣布，𠉀反温，蟄蟲來見，流水不冰，民乃康平，其病温。故食歲榖，以安其氣。食閒榖，以去其邪。歲宜以鹹以苦以辛，汗之、清之、散之，安其運氣，無使受邪。折其鬱氣，資其化源。以寒熱輕重，少多其制。同熱者，多天化。同清者，多地化。用涼遠涼，用熱遠熱，用寒遠寒，用温遠温。食宜同法，有假者反之，此其道也。反是者，亂天地之經，擾陰陽之紀也。
终之气，阳气布，候反温，蛰虫来见，流水不冰，民乃康平，其病温。故食岁谷，以安其气。食间谷，以去其邪。岁宜以咸以苦以辛，汗之、清之、散之，安其运气，无使受邪。折其郁气，资其化源。以寒热轻重，少多其制。同热者，多天化。同清者，多地化。用凉远凉，用热远热，用寒远寒，用温远温。食宜同法，有假者反之，此其道也。反是者，乱天地之经，扰阴阳之纪也。

终之气，阳气布散，气候反而温暖，蛰虫出现，流水不结冰，百姓安康平和，其病为温。所以要吃岁谷来安定其气，吃间谷来祛除其邪。这一年宜用咸、苦、辛，或用汗法、清法、散法，安定其运气，不让它受邪。折损它的郁气，资助它的化源。按寒热的轻重，决定用量的多少。同于热的，多用天气之化；同于清的，多用地气之化。用凉要避开凉，用热要避开热，用寒要避开寒，用温要避开温。饮食也同一法度，有假借的就反过来，这就是其道。违反这些，就会扰乱天地的纲纪、阴阳的秩序。
The final qi: yang qi spreads, the season turns warm instead, the hibernating creatures come out, running water does not freeze, and the people are healthy and level; their illness is warm disease. Therefore eat the grain of the year to settle their qi, and eat the intercalary grain to drive off their evil. In such a year use salty, bitter and pungent, and sweat them, clear them, scatter them, settling their circuit qi and not letting it take on evil. Break their pent qi and aid the source of their transformation. By the lightness or heaviness of cold and heat, hold them in check by more or less. Where it is the same as heat, use much of the heavenly transformation; where the same as coolness, use much of the earthly transformation. In using cool keep far from cool, in using heat keep far from heat, in using cold keep far from cold, in using warm keep far from warm. Food follows the same rule; where there is a pretext, one goes contrary. This is the way of it; to go contrary to it is to disorder the warp of heaven and earth and trouble the order of yin and yang.

凡此少陽司天之政，氣化運行先天，天氣正，地氣擾，風乃暴舉，木偃沙飛，炎火乃流，陰行陽化，雨乃時應，火木同德，上應熒惑、歲星，其榖丹蒼，其政嚴，其令擾，故風熱參布，雲物沸騰，太陰横流，寒乃時至，涼雨並起，民病寒中，外發瘡瘍，内爲泄滿。故聖人遇之，和而不爭，往復之作，民病寒熱，瘧泄，聾瞑，嘔吐，上怫腫色變。
凡此少阳司天之政，气化运行先天，天气正，地气扰，风乃暴举，木偃沙飞，炎火乃流，阴行阳化，雨乃时应，火木同德，上应荧惑、岁星，其谷丹苍，其政严，其令扰，故风热参布，云物沸腾，太阴横流，寒乃时至，凉雨并起，民病寒中，外发疮疡，内为泄满。故圣人遇之，和而不争，往复之作，民病寒热，疟泄，聋瞑，呕吐，上怫肿色变。

凡是少阳司天的年份，气化运行先于天时。天气正，地气扰乱，风于是暴起，树木倒伏、沙石飞扬，炎火流行，阴行而阳化，雨水按时相应，火与木同德，上应荧惑、岁星，其谷为丹、苍。其政严厉，其令扰乱，所以风热交互散布，云气沸腾，太阴横流，寒气按时而至，凉雨并起，百姓病寒中，外发疮疡，内为泄泻胀满。所以圣人遇到这种年份，和而不争。往复之作，百姓病寒热、疟疾、泄泻、耳聋目瞑、呕吐，上部怫郁肿胀而面色改变。
All these, the governance of lesser yang governing the heaven: the qi transformation runs ahead of heaven. The qi of heaven is upright, the qi of earth troubled; wind then rises violently, trees lie down and sand flies, and blazing fire flows; yin moves and yang transforms; rain answers in season; fire and wood join in virtue; above it answers to Mars and Jupiter; its grain is the cinnabar and the blue-green. Its governance is severe, its command troubling. Therefore wind and heat spread together, clouds and things seethe, greater yin runs crosswise, cold comes in season and cool rain rises with it. The people are ill with cold in the centre, with sores breaking out outside and flux and fullness within. Therefore the sage, meeting such a year, is harmonious and does not contend. As going and returning take their course, the people are ill with cold and heat, malaria and flux, deafness and dimmed eyes, vomiting, and swelling above with a changed countenance.

初之氣，地氣遷，風勝乃摇，寒乃去，候乃大温，草木早榮，寒來不殺，温病乃起，其病氣怫於上，血溢目赤，欬逆頭痛，血𡹌脅滿，膚腠中瘡。

初之气，地气迁移，风气偏胜而摇动，寒气于是离去，气候大为温暖，草木提早繁荣，寒气虽来却不能杀伤，温病于是兴起，其病为气怫郁于上、血溢、目赤、咳逆、头痛、鼻中出血、胁肋胀满、肤腠生疮。
The first qi: the qi of earth moves; wind prevails and shakes; cold departs; the season becomes greatly warm; grass and trees flourish early; cold comes but does not kill. Warm disease then arises: qi pents above, blood spills, the eyes are red, there is coughing and counterflow and headache, blood from the nose, fullness of the ribs, and sores in the skin and interstices.
39
二之氣，火反鬱，白埃四起，雲趨雨府，風不勝濕，雨乃零，民乃康，其病熱鬱於上，欬逆嘔吐，瘡發於中，胸嗌不利，頭痛身熱，昏憒膿瘡。

二之气，火气反而郁结，白色尘埃四起，云气趋向雨府，风不能胜过湿，雨于是落下，百姓安康，其病为热郁于上、咳逆呕吐、疮发于内、胸咽不利、头痛身热、昏愦脓疮。
The second qi: fire is pent instead; white dust rises on all sides; clouds hasten to the rain storehouse; wind cannot prevail over dampness and rain then falls; the people are at ease. Their illnesses are heat pent above, coughing and counterflow with vomiting, sores breaking out within, an obstructed chest and throat, headache and fever, and dim confusion with pus-filled sores.

The third qi: the governance of heaven is laid out; scorching heat arrives; lesser yang comes down from above; the rain reaches its limit. The people are ill with heat in the centre, deafness and dimmed eyes, blood spilling, pus-filled sores, coughing and vomiting, snivelling, nosebleed and thirst, sneezing and yawning, throat closure, red eyes, and often die suddenly.

Sì zhī qì, liáng nǎi zhì, yán shǔ jiān huà, bái lù jiàng, mín qì hé píng, qí bìng mǎn, shēn zhòng.
四之气，凉气到来，炎暑在间隙中化育，白露下降，民气和平，其病为胀满、身体沉重。
The fourth qi: coolness arrives; scorching heat transforms in the interval; white dew falls; the people’s qi is harmonious and level; their illness is fullness and heaviness of body.
42
五之氣，陽乃去，寒乃來，雨乃降，氣門乃閉，剛木早凋，民避寒邪，君子周密。
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。
Wǔ zhī qì, yáng nǎi qù, hán nǎi lái, yǔ nǎi jiàng, qì mén nǎi bì, gāng mù zǎo diāo, mín bì hán xié, jūn zǐ zhōu mì.
五之气，阳气于是离去，寒气到来，雨水下降，气门于是闭塞，坚硬的树木提早凋零，百姓避开寒邪，君子应当周密防护。
The fifth qi: yang departs, cold arrives, rain falls, and the gates of qi close; the hard-wooded trees wither early; the people shun the cold evil, and the noble man keeps himself closed and close.
43
終之氣，地氣正，風乃至，萬物反生，霿霧以行，其病開閉不禁，心痛，陽氣不藏而欬。抑其運氣，贊所不勝，必折其鬱氣，先取化源，暴過不生，苛疾不起。故歲宜鹹，辛宜酸，滲之泄之，漬之發之，觀氣寒温，以調其過。同風熱者多寒化，異風熱者少寒化。用熱遠熱，用温遠温，用寒遠寒，用涼遠涼，食宜同法，此其道也。有假者反之，反是者，病之階也。
终之气，地气正，风乃至，万物反生，霿雾以行，其病开闭不禁，心痛，阳气不藏而咳。抑其运气，赞所不胜，必折其郁气，先取化源，暴过不生，苛疾不起。故岁宜咸，辛宜酸，渗之泄之，渍之发之，观气寒温，以调其过。同风热者多寒化，异风热者少寒化。用热远热，用温远温，用寒远寒，用凉远凉，食宜同法，此其道也。有假者反之，反是者，病之阶也。
Zhōng zhī qì, dì qì zhèng, fēng nǎi zhì, wàn wù fǎn shēng, méng wù yǐ xíng, qí bìng kāi bì bù jìn, xīn tòng, yáng qì bù cáng ér kài. Yì qí yùn qì, zàn suǒ bù shèng, bì zhé qí yù qì, xiān qǔ huà yuán, bào guò bù shēng, kē jí bù qǐ. Gù suì yí xián, xīn yí suān, shèn zhī xiè zhī, zì zhī fā zhī, guān qì hán wēn, yǐ tiáo qí guò. Tóng fēng rè zhě duō hán huà, yì fēng rè zhě shǎo hán huà. Yòng rè yuǎn rè, yòng wēn yuǎn wēn, yòng hán yuǎn hán, yòng liáng yuǎn liáng, shí yí tóng fǎ, cǐ qí dào yě. Yǒu jiǎ zhě fǎn zhī, fǎn shì zhě, bìng zhī jiē yě.
终之气，地气正，风于是到来，万物反而萌生，霿雾流行，其病为开合不能约束、心痛，阳气不能潜藏而咳嗽。抑制其运气，扶助它所不胜之气，必须折损它的郁气，先取化源，暴过就不会发生，苛疾就不会起来。所以这一年宜用咸、辛，宜用酸，或用渗法、泄法，或用渍法、发法，观察气候的寒温，来调治它的太过。与风热相同的多用寒化，与风热不同的少用寒化。用热要避开热，用温要避开温，用寒要避开寒，用凉要避开凉，饮食也同一法度，这就是其道。有假借的就反过来，违反这些，就是生病的阶梯。
The final qi: the qi of earth is upright and wind then arrives; the ten thousand things sprout instead; murky fog moves; its illnesses are an opening and closing that cannot be restrained, and heart pain; the yang qi cannot hide and there is coughing. Check their circuit qi and aid what they do not prevail over; one must break their pent qi and first take the source of transformation, so that violent excess does not arise and harsh illness does not begin. Therefore in such a year salty and pungent are fitting, and sour as well; strain them and drain them, steep them and disperse them, watch whether the qi is cold or warm, and so correct what is over. Where it is the same as wind and heat, use much cold transformation; where different from wind and heat, use little cold transformation. In using heat keep far from heat, in using warm keep far from warm, in using cold keep far from cold, in using cool keep far from cool. Food follows the same rule. Where there is a pretext, one goes contrary; to go contrary to it is the stair to illness.

凡此太陰司天之政，氣化運行後天陰專其政，陽氣退辟，大風時起，天氣下降，地氣上騰，原野昏霿，白埃四起，雲奔南極，寒雨數至，物成於差夏。
凡此太阴司天之政，气化运行后天阴专其政，阳气退辟，大风时起，天气下降，地气上腾，原野昏霿，白埃四起，云奔南极，寒雨数至，物成于差夏。
Fán cǐ tài yīn sī tiān zhī zhèng, qì huà yùn xíng hòu tiān yīn zhuān qí zhèng, yáng qì tuì bì, dà fēng shí qǐ, tiān qì xià jiàng, dì qì shàng téng, yuán yě hūn méng, bái āi sì qǐ, yún bēn nán jí, hán yǔ shuò zhì, wù chéng yú chài xià.
凡是太阴司天的年份，气化运行后于天时。阴气专行其政，阳气退避，大风时时兴起，天气下降，地气上腾，原野昏霿，白色尘埃四起，云气奔向南极，寒雨屡屡到来，万物在晚夏的余时里长成。
All these, the governance of greater yin governing the heaven: the qi transformation runs behind heaven; yin has its governance alone and the yang qi withdraws; great winds rise from time to time; the qi of heaven descends and the qi of earth mounts; the open country is dim and murky; white dust rises on all sides; clouds run to the south pole; cold rain comes again and again, and things ripen in the late summer.
Mín bìng hán shī, fù mǎn, shēn chēn fèn, fū zhǒng pǐ nì, hán jué jū jí, shī hán hé dé, huáng hēi āi hūn, liú xíng qì jiāo, shàng yìng zhèn xīng, chén xīng, qí zhèng sù, qí lìng jì, qí gǔ jīn xuán.
百姓病寒湿，腹中胀满，身体肿胀，浮肿、痞逆，寒厥拘急，湿寒合德，黄黑尘埃昏暗，流行于气交，上应镇星、辰星。其政肃，其令寂，其谷为黅、玄。
The people are ill with cold and damp: fullness of the belly, swelling of the body, swollen feet with rheumy counterflow, cold reversal and cramping; dampness and cold join in virtue; yellow and black dust darkens; it moves at the junction of qi; above it answers to Saturn and Mercury. Its governance is austere, its command still; its grain is the yellow and the dark.
52
故陰凝於上，寒積於下，寒水勝火，則爲冰雹，陽光不治，殺氣乃行，故有餘宜高，不及宜下；有餘宜晚，不及宜早。土之利，氣之化也，民氣亦從之，閒榖命其太也。
故阴凝于上，寒积于下，寒水胜火，则为冰雹，阳光不治，杀气乃行，故有余宜高，不及宜下；有余宜晚，不及宜早。土之利，气之化也，民气亦从之，间谷命其太也。
Gù yīn níng yú shàng, hán jī yú xià, hán shuǐ shèng huǒ, zé wéi bīng báo, yáng guāng bù zhì, shā qì nǎi xíng, gù yǒu yú yí gāo, bù jí yí xià; yǒu yú yí wǎn, bù jí yí zǎo. Tǔ zhī lì, qì zhī huà yě, mín qì yì cóng zhī, jiān gǔ mìng qí tài yě.
所以阴气凝结于上，寒气积聚于下，寒水胜过火，就化为冰雹，阳光不能施治，杀气于是流行。所以太过之年宜种高处，不及之年宜种低处；太过之年宜晚，不及之年宜早。土地之利，是气化的结果，民气也随从它，间谷则取其中过大的。
Therefore yin congeals above and cold gathers below; cold water prevails over fire and so there is hail; the light of the sun does not govern and the qi of killing moves. Thus in a year of surplus one should plant high, in a year of shortfall low; in surplus late, in shortfall early. The profit of the soil is the transformation of the qi, and the people’s qi follows it too; the intercalary grain is the one that is over.
53
初之氣，地氣遷，寒乃去，春氣正，風乃來，生布萬物以榮，民氣條舒，風濕相薄，雨乃後，民病血溢，筋絡拘強，關節不利，身重筋痿。
初之气，地气迁，寒乃去，春气正，风乃来，生布万物以荣，民气条舒，风湿相薄，雨乃后，民病血溢，筋络拘强，关节不利，身重筋痿。
Chū zhī qì, dì qì qiān, hán nǎi qù, chūn qì zhèng, fēng nǎi lái, shēng bù wàn wù yǐ róng, mín qì tiáo shū, fēng shī xiāng bó, yǔ nǎi hòu, mín bìng xuè yì, jīn luò jū qiáng, guān jié bù lì, shēn zhòng jīn wěi.
初之气，地气迁移，寒气于是离去，春气端正，风于是到来，生发之气布散于万物而使它们繁荣，民气条达舒展，风湿相迫，雨于是后至，百姓病血溢、筋络拘强、关节不利、身体沉重、筋脉痿弱。
The first qi: the qi of earth moves; cold departs; the spring qi is upright and wind then arrives; the qi of birth spreads through the ten thousand things and makes them flourish; the people’s qi is ordered and at ease; wind and damp press upon one another and rain comes late. The people are ill with blood spilling, cramping and stiffening of the sinews and networks, joints that do not move well, heaviness of body and limp sinews.
54
二之氣，大火正，物承化，民乃和，其病温厲大行，遠近咸若，濕蒸相薄，雨乃時降。
二之气，大火正，物承化，民乃和，其病温厉大行，远近咸若，湿蒸相薄，雨乃时降。
Èr zhī qì, dà huǒ zhèng, wù chéng huà, mín nǎi hé, qí bìng wēn lì dà xíng, yuǎn jìn xián ruò, shī zhēng xiāng bó, yǔ nǎi shí jiàng.
二之气，大火之气端正，万物承受化育，百姓于是和畅，其病为温厉大行，远近都如此，湿气蒸腾相迫，雨于是按时下降。
The second qi: the great fire is upright and things receive its transformation; the people are harmonious. Their illness is a great running of warm pestilence, the same far and near; dampness steams and presses, and rain falls in season.
Sān zhī qì, tiān zhèng bù, shī qì jiàng, dì qì téng, yǔ nǎi shí jiàng, hán nǎi suí zhī, gǎn yú hán shī, zé mín bìng shēn zhòng, fū zhǒng, xiōng fù mǎn.
三之气，天气布政，湿气下降，地气上腾，雨于是按时下降，寒气随之而来，感受寒湿，百姓就病身体沉重、浮肿，胸腹胀满。
The third qi: the governance of heaven is laid out; damp qi descends and the qi of earth mounts; rain falls in season and cold follows it. Taking in cold and damp, the people are ill with heaviness of body and swollen feet, with fullness of chest and belly.
Sì zhī qì, wèi huǒ lín, rù zhēng huà, dì qì téng, tiān qì pǐ gé, hán fēng xiǎo mù, zhēng rè xiāng bó, cǎo mù níng yān, shī huà bù liú, zé bái lù yīn bù, yǐ chéng qiū lìng, mín bìng còu lǐ rè, xuè bào yì nüè, xīn fù mǎn rè, lú zhàng, shèn zé fū zhǒng.
四之气，畏火临至，溽湿蒸腾而化，地气上腾，天气隔塞不通，寒风在早晚吹来，蒸热相迫，草木凝聚如烟，湿化不能流动，于是白露阴布，成就秋令，百姓病腠理发热，血液突然溢出、疟疾，心腹胀满发热，皮肤肿胀，严重的则浮肿。
The fourth qi: the dreaded fire comes down; the sultry damp steams and transforms; the qi of earth mounts and the qi of heaven is shut off; cold wind blows at dawn and dusk; steam and heat press one another; grass and trees gather smoke; the damp transformation does not flow. Then white dew spreads yin and the command of autumn is completed. The people are ill with heat in the interstices, sudden spilling of blood and malaria, heat and fullness in the heart and belly, swelling of the skin, and in severe cases swollen feet.
57
五之氣，慘令已行，寒露下，霜乃早降，草木黃落，寒氣及體，君子周密，民病皮腠。
五之气，惨令已行，寒露下，霜乃早降，草木黄落，寒气及体，君子周密，民病皮腠。
Wǔ zhī qì, cǎn lìng yǐ xíng, hán lù xià, shuāng nǎi zǎo jiàng, cǎo mù huáng luò, hán qì jí tǐ, jūn zǐ zhōu mì, mín bìng pí còu.
五之气，惨肃的时令已经流行，寒露降下，霜于是提早降下，草木枯黄凋落，寒气侵入身体，君子应当周密防护，百姓病在皮腠。
The fifth qi: the bleak command has moved; cold dew descends and frost falls early; grass and trees yellow and fall; the cold qi reaches the body; the noble man keeps himself closed and close; the people are ill in the skin and interstices.
58
終之氣，寒大舉，濕大化，霜乃積，陰乃凝，水堅冰，陽光不治，感於寒，則病人關節禁固，腰脽痛，寒濕推於氣交而爲疾也。必折其鬱氣，而取化源，益其歲氣，無使邪勝。食歲穀以全其真，食間穀以保其精。
终之气，寒大举，湿大化，霜乃积，阴乃凝，水坚冰，阳光不治，感于寒，则病人关节禁固，腰脽痛，寒湿推于气交而为疾也。必折其郁气，而取化源，益其岁气，无使邪胜。食岁谷以全其真，食间谷以保其精。
Zhōng zhī qì, hán dà jǔ, shī dà huà, shuāng nǎi jī, yīn nǎi níng, shuǐ jiān bīng, yáng guāng bù zhì, gǎn yú hán, zé bìng rén guān jié jìn gù, yāo shuí tòng, hán shī tuī yú qì jiāo ér wéi jí yě. Bì zhé qí yù qì, ér qǔ huà yuán, yì qí suì qì, wú shǐ xié shèng. Shí suì gǔ yǐ quán qí zhēn, shí jiān gǔ yǐ bǎo qí jīng.
终之气，寒气大举，湿气大化，霜于是积聚，阴气凝结，水结成坚冰，阳光不能施治，感受寒气，百姓就病关节禁固、腰脽疼痛，寒湿推移到气交之处而形成疾病。必须折损它的郁气，取用化源，增益它这一年的岁气，不让邪气取胜。吃岁谷以保全真元，吃间谷以保养精气。
The final qi: cold is greatly raised and dampness greatly transforms; frost gathers and yin congeals; water is hard ice; the light of the sun does not govern. Taking in cold, the people are ill with joints locked and fixed, pain in the waist and buttocks, and cold and damp pushed to the junction of qi to make disease. One must break their pent qi and take the source of transformation; increase the qi of the year and not let evil prevail. Eat the grain of the year to keep the true whole and the intercalary grain to preserve the essence.
59
故歲宜以苦燥之温之，甚者發之泄之，不發不泄，則濕氣外溢，肉潰皮拆，而水血交流，必贊其陽火，令禦甚寒，從氣異同，少多其判也。同寒者以熱化，同濕者以燥化。異者少之，同者多之。用凉遠凉，用寒遠寒，用温遠温，用熱遠熱。食宜同法，假者反之，此其道也，反是者病也。
故岁宜以苦燥之温之，甚者发之泄之，不发不泄，则湿气外溢，肉溃皮拆，而水血交流，必赞其阳火，令御甚寒，从气异同，少多其判也。同寒者以热化，同湿者以燥化。异者少之，同者多之。用凉远凉，用寒远寒，用温远温，用热远热。食宜同法，假者反之，此其道也，反是者病也。
Gù suì yí yǐ kǔ zào zhī wēn zhī, shèn zhě fā zhī xiè zhī, bù fā bù xiè, zé shī qì wài yì, ròu kuì pí chāi, ér shuǐ xuè jiāo liú, bì zàn qí yáng huǒ, lìng yù shèn hán, cóng qì yì tóng, shǎo duō qí pàn yě. Tóng hán zhě yǐ rè huà, tóng shī zhě yǐ zào huà. Yì zhě shǎo zhī, tóng zhě duō zhī. Yòng liáng yuǎn liáng, yòng hán yuǎn hán, yòng wēn yuǎn wēn, yòng rè yuǎn rè. Shí yí tóng fǎ, jiǎ zhě fǎn zhī, cǐ qí dào yě, fǎn shì zhě bìng yě.
所以这一年宜用苦味来燥它、温它，病重的用发散、泄下之法，不散发不泄下，湿气就会向外泛溢，肌肉溃烂、皮肤拆裂，水与血交流，必须扶助它的阳火，使它抵御严寒，依从气的同异，决定用量的多少。同于寒的用热来化，同于湿的用燥来化。不同的少用，相同的多用。用凉要避开凉，用寒要避开寒，用温要避开温，用热要避开热。饮食也同一法度，有假借的就反过来，这就是其道，违反这些就会生病。
Therefore in such a year one should use bitter to dry them and warm them; in severe cases disperse and drain them. If one neither disperses nor drains, the damp qi overflows outside, the flesh rots and the skin splits, and water and blood mingle. One must aid its yang fire and make it withstand the great cold. By the same and the different in the qi, decide more and less. What is the same as cold transforms by heat, what is the same as damp transforms by dryness. The different is decreased and the same increased. In using cool keep far from cool, in using cold keep far from cold, in using warm keep far from warm, in using heat keep far from heat. Food follows the same rule; where there is a pretext, one goes contrary. This is the way of it; to go contrary is to fall ill.

Lesser yin, greater jue, yang brightness: ren zi and ren wu. Its circuit is wind roused; its transformation is clamour and tangling, opening and splitting; its change is shaking, tearing, breaking and uprooting; its illness is propping fullness. Greater jue, lesser zhi, greater gong, lesser shang, greater yu.

凡是少阴司天的年份，气化运行先于天时。地气肃，天气明，寒与暑相交，热与燥相加，云气奔驰于雨府，湿化于是流行，时雨于是下降，金火合德，上应荧惑、太白。其政明，其令切，其谷为丹、白，水火寒热拘持于气交之处，而成为疾病的起始。热病生于上部，清病生于下部，寒热凌犯而争于中，百姓病咳喘、血溢血泄、鼽嚏目赤、眼角生疮，寒厥入胃，心痛腰痛，腹大，咽喉干燥、上部肿胀。
All these, the governance of lesser yin governing the heaven: the qi transformation runs ahead of heaven. The qi of earth is austere, the qi of heaven bright; cold and summer heat alternate; heat adds to dryness; clouds gallop to the rain storehouse; the damp transformation moves; seasonal rain falls; metal and fire join in virtue; above it answers to Mars and Venus. Its governance is bright, its command pressing; its grain is the cinnabar and the white. Water and fire, cold and heat, hold at the junction of qi, and there disease begins. Heat disease arises above, cool disease below, and cold and heat invade and contend in the middle. The people are ill with coughing and panting, blood spilling and blood pouring, snivelling and sneezing with red eyes, sores at the eye corners, cold reversal entering the stomach, heart pain and low back pain, a great belly, a dry throat and swelling above.
67
初之氣，地氣遷，燥將去，寒乃始，蟄復藏，水乃冰，霜復降，風乃至，陽氣鬱，民反周密，關節禁固，腰脽痛，炎暑將起，中外瘡瘍。
初之气，地气迁，燥将去，寒乃始，蛰复藏，水乃冰，霜复降，风乃至，阳气郁，民反周密，关节禁固，腰脽痛，炎暑将起，中外疮疡。

初之气，地气迁移，燥气将要离去，寒气于是开始，蛰虫重新潜藏，水于是结冰，霜又降下，风于是到来，阳气郁结，百姓反而周密闭藏，关节禁固，腰脽疼痛，炎暑将要兴起，内外生疮。
The first qi: the qi of earth moves; dryness is about to depart and cold then begins; the hibernating creatures hide again; water freezes; frost falls again; wind arrives; the yang qi is pent. The people keep themselves closed and close, with joints locked and fixed, and pain in the waist and buttocks; scorching heat is about to rise, and there are sores within and without.
68

三之气，天气布政，大火流行，万物繁茂鲜明，寒气按时到来，百姓病气厥心痛、寒热交替发作、咳喘目赤。
The third qi: the governance of heaven is laid out, the great fire moves, the many kinds are luxuriant and bright; cold comes in season. The people are ill with qi reversal and heart pain, cold and heat arising by turns, coughing and panting with red eyes.
Sì zhī qì, rù shǔ zhì, dà yǔ shí xíng, hán rè hù zhì, mín bìng hán rè, yì gān huáng dān, qiú nǜ yǐn fā.

五之气，畏火临至，暑气反而到来，阳气于是化育，万物于是生长繁荣，百姓安康，其病为温。
The fifth qi: the dreaded fire; heat comes instead; yang transforms; the ten thousand things grow and flourish; the people are healthy; their illness is warm disease.
72
終之氣，燥令行，餘火内格，腫於上，欬喘，甚則血溢，寒氣數舉，則霿霧翳，病生皮腠，内舍於脅，下連少腹，而作寒中，地將易也。必抑其運氣，資其歲勝，折其鬱發，先取化源，無使暴過而生其病也。
终之气，燥令行，余火内格，肿于上，咳喘，甚则血溢，寒气数举，则霿雾翳，病生皮腠，内舍于胁，下连少腹，而作寒中，地将易也。必抑其运气，资其岁胜，折其郁发，先取化源，无使暴过而生其病也。

Bì yì qí yùn qì, zī qí suì shèng, zhé qí yù fā, xiān qǔ huà yuán, wú shǐ bào guò ér shēng qí bìng yě.
终之气，燥令流行，余火在内格拒，上部肿胀，咳喘，严重的则血溢，寒气屡屡兴起，就霿雾遮蔽，病生于皮腠，内舍于胁，下连少腹，而成为寒中，这是地气将要变易的时候。必须抑制它的运气，资助它这一年的所胜之气，折损它的郁发之气，先取化源，不要让暴过发生而生病。
The final qi: the command of dryness moves; the remaining fire is shut off within; there is swelling above, coughing and panting, and in severe cases blood spilling. When cold qi rises again and again there is murky fog and a blurring veil; illness arises in the skin and interstices, lodges within at the ribs and reaches down to the lower belly, making cold in the centre — the earth is about to change. One must check their circuit qi, aid what prevails over the year, break their pent outbreak and first take the source of transformation, so that no violent excess arises and brings illness.

食歲榖以全真氣，食閒榖以辟虚邪，歲宜鹹以耎之，而調其上，甚則以苦發之，以酸收之，而安其下，甚則以苦泄之，適氣同異而多少之。同天氣者，以寒清化；同地氣者，以温熱化。用熱遠熱，用涼遠涼，用温遠温，用寒遠寒。食宜同法，有假則反，此其道也。反是者病作矣。
食岁谷以全真气，食间谷以辟虚邪，岁宜咸以耎之，而调其上，甚则以苦发之，以酸收之，而安其下，甚则以苦泄之，适气同异而多少之。同天气者，以寒清化；同地气者，以温热化。用热远热，用凉远凉，用温远温，用寒远寒。食宜同法，有假则反，此其道也。反是者病作矣。

Fǎn shì zhě bìng zuò yǐ.
吃岁谷以保全真气，吃间谷以辟除虚邪。这一年宜用咸来使它柔软，从而调治上部；严重的就用苦来发散、用酸来收敛，从而安定下部；严重的就用苦来泄下。依从气的同异决定用量的多少。同于天气的，用寒清来化；同于地气的，用温热来化。用热要避开热，用凉要避开凉，用温要避开温，用寒要避开寒。饮食也同一法度，有假借的就反过来，这就是其道。违反这些病就会发作。
Eat the grain of the year to keep the true qi whole, and the intercalary grain to ward off empty evil. In such a year salty is fitting, to soften them, and so to tune what is above; in severe cases use bitter to disperse and sour to gather, and so to settle what is below; in severe cases use bitter to drain. Accord with the same and the different in the qi and give more or less. What is the same as the qi of heaven transforms by cold and coolness; what is the same as the qi of earth by warmth and heat. In using heat keep far from heat, in using cool keep far from cool, in using warm keep far from warm, in using cold keep far from cold. Food follows the same rule; where there is a pretext, one goes contrary. This is the way of it; to go contrary to it is for illness to arise.

凡是厥阴司天的年份，气化运行后于天时；那些同正之年，气化运行与天相同。天气扰乱，地气端正，风生于高远之处，炎热随从其后，云气趋向雨府，湿化于是流行，风火同德，上应岁星、荧惑。其政挠动，其令急速，其谷为苍、丹。间谷则说其中太过的，耗损的是文角之品与羽虫。风燥火热，胜复更相发作，蛰虫出现，流水不结冰。热病流行于下部，风病流行于上部，风燥的胜复显形于中。
All these, the governance of ceasing yin governing the heaven: the qi transformation runs behind heaven; and in the years that are the same as upright, the qi transformation runs with heaven. The qi of heaven is troubled, the qi of earth upright; wind arises high and far and scorching heat follows it; clouds hasten to the rain storehouse; the damp transformation moves; wind and fire join in virtue; above it answers to Jupiter and Mars. Its governance is bending, its command swift; its grain is the blue-green and the cinnabar; its intercalary grain is said to be the one that is over; what it consumes is the patterned-horned and the feathered. Wind, dryness, fire and heat arise again and again in prevalence and revenge; the hibernating creatures come out and running water does not freeze. Heat disease moves below, wind disease above, and the prevalence and revenge of wind and dryness take shape in the middle.

終之氣，畏火司令，陽乃大化，蟄蟲出見，流水不冰，地氣大發，草乃生，人乃舒，其病温厲。必折其鬱氣，資其化源，贊其運氣，無使邪勝。歲宜以辛調上，以鹹調下，畏火之氣，無妄犯之。用温遠温，用熱遠熱，用涼遠涼，用寒遠寒，食宜同法，有假反常，此之道也，反是者病。
终之气，畏火司令，阳乃大化，蛰虫出见，流水不冰，地气大发，草乃生，人乃舒，其病温厉。必折其郁气，资其化源，赞其运气，无使邪胜。岁宜以辛调上，以咸调下，畏火之气，无妄犯之。用温远温，用热远热，用凉远凉，用寒远寒，食宜同法，有假反常，此之道也，反是者病。
Zhōng zhī qì, wèi huǒ sī lìng, yáng nǎi dà huà, zhé chóng chū xiàn, liú shuǐ bù bīng, dì qì dà fā, cǎo nǎi shēng, rén nǎi shū, qí bìng wēn lì.

终之气，畏火当令，阳气于是大化，蛰虫出现，流水不结冰，地气大发，草类生长，人也舒展，其病为温厉。必须折损它的郁气，资助它的化源，扶助它的运气，不让邪气取胜。这一年宜用辛来调治上部，用咸来调治下部，畏火之气，不要妄加触犯。用温要避开温，用热要避开热，用凉要避开凉，用寒要避开寒，饮食也同一法度，有假借的就反常而行，这就是其道，违反这些就会生病。
The final qi: the dreaded fire holds command; yang greatly transforms; the hibernating creatures come out; running water does not freeze; the qi of earth breaks out greatly; grass grows and people are at ease; their illness is warm pestilence. One must break their pent qi, aid the source of their transformation and support their circuit qi, not letting evil prevail. In such a year pungent is fitting to tune what is above and salty to tune what is below; the qi of the dreaded fire must not be rashly offended. In using warm keep far from warm, in using heat keep far from heat, in using cool keep far from cool, in using cold keep far from cold. Food follows the same rule; where there is a pretext, one goes contrary. This is the way of it; to go contrary is to fall ill.

帝曰：善。夫子言可謂悉矣，然何以明其應乎？歧伯曰：昭乎哉問也！夫六氣者，行有次，止有位，故常以正月朔日平旦視之，睹其位而知其所在矣。運有餘，其至先；運不及，其至後，此天之道，氣之常也。運非有餘，非不足，是謂正歲，其至當其時也。帝曰：勝復之氣，其常在也。災眚時至，侯也柰何？歧伯曰：非氣化者，是謂災也。帝曰：天地之數，終始柰何？
帝曰：善。夫子言可谓悉矣，然何以明其应乎？歧伯曰：昭乎哉问也！夫六气者，行有次，止有位，故常以正月朔日平旦视之，睹其位而知其所在矣。运有余，其至先；运不及，其至后，此天之道，气之常也。运非有余，非不足，是谓正岁，其至当其时也。帝曰：胜复之气，其常在也。灾眚时至，侯也奈何？歧伯曰：非气化者，是谓灾也。帝曰：天地之数，终始奈何？
Dì yuē: shàn. Fú zǐ yán kě wèi xī yǐ, rán hé yǐ míng qí yìng hū? Qí bó yuē: zhāo hū zāi wèn yě! Fú liù qì zhě, xíng yǒu cì, zhǐ yǒu wèi, gù cháng yǐ zhèng yuè shuò rì píng dàn shì zhī, dǔ qí wèi ér zhī qí suǒ zài yǐ.

黄帝说：好。夫子的话可以说是详尽了，然而怎样明白它的应验呢？歧伯说：问得多么明白啊！六气运行有次序，停止有位置，所以常用正月初一的清晨来观察它，看到它的位置就知道它在哪里了。运有余，到来就早；运不及，到来就晚，这是天道，是气的常度。运既不有余，也不不足，就叫作正岁，它的到来正当其时。黄帝说：胜复之气，是有常度的。灾眚按时而至，候察它该怎么办？歧伯说：不是气化的，就叫作灾。黄帝说：天地的数，终始是怎样的？
Huang Di said: good. What you have said may be called thorough — but how is its answer made clear? Qi Bo said: how bright the question is! As to the six qi, their movement has an order and their resting has a position; so one always observes them at daybreak on the first day of the first month, and seeing their position knows where they are. When the circuit is in surplus it arrives early; when the circuit falls short it arrives late — this is the way of heaven and the constant of qi. When the circuit is neither in surplus nor short, it is called an upright year and its arrival keeps its season. Huang Di said: the qi of prevalence and revenge has its constant. Disaster and calamity come in season — how is one to watch for them? Qi Bo said: what is not the transformation of qi is called disaster. Huang Di said: as to the numbers of heaven and earth, what of their ending and beginning?

歧伯曰：悉乎哉問也，是明道也。數之始，起於上，而終於下。歲半之前，天氣主之；歲半之後，地氣主之。上下交互，氣交主之，歲紀畢矣。故曰：位明，氣月可知乎，所謂氣也。帝曰：余司其事，則而行之，不合其數，何也？歧伯曰：氣用有多少，化洽有盛衰，衰盛多少，同其化也。帝曰：願聞同化何如？
歧伯曰：悉乎哉问也，是明道也。数之始，起于上，而终于下。岁半之前，天气主之；岁半之后，地气主之。上下交互，气交主之，岁纪毕矣。故曰：位明，气月可知乎，所谓气也。帝曰：余司其事，则而行之，不合其数，何也？歧伯曰：气用有多少，化洽有盛衰，衰盛多少，同其化也。帝曰：愿闻同化何如？
Qí bó yuē: xī hū zāi wèn yě, shì míng dào yě. Shù zhī shǐ, qǐ yú shàng, ér zhōng yú xià. Suì bàn zhī qián, tiān qì zhǔ zhī; suì bàn zhī hòu, dì qì zhǔ zhī.

歧伯说：问得真详尽啊，这是要阐明大道的。数的起始，从上部开始，到下部终止。半岁之前，由天气主事；半岁之后，由地气主事。上下交互，由气交主事，一年的纪就完备了。所以说：位置明白了，气所在的月份就可以知道了，这就是所谓气。黄帝说：我主持这件事，依照它去做，却不合它的数，为什么？歧伯说：气的运用有多少，化的洽合有盛衰，衰盛多少各不相同，都从属于它的化。黄帝说：希望听听同化是怎样的？
Qi Bo said: how thorough the question is — this is to make the way clear. The numbers begin above and end below. Before the half-year the qi of heaven governs; after the half-year the qi of earth governs; where above and below cross, the junction of qi governs — and the record of the year is complete. Therefore it is said: when the positions are clear, the month of each qi can be known — this is what is called the qi. Huang Di said: I preside over the matter and follow it in practice, yet it does not match its numbers — why? Qi Bo said: the use of qi has more and less, and the reach of transformation has flourishing and decline; decline and flourishing, more and less, all belong to the same transformation. Huang Di said: I wish to hear what this same transformation is like.

歧伯曰：風温，春化同，熱曛昏火，夏化同，勝與復同，燥清烟露，秋化同，雲雨昏暝埃長夏化同。寒氣霜雪冰，冬化同。此天地五運六氣之化，更用盛衰之常也。帝曰：五運行同天化者，命曰天符，余知之矣。願聞同地化者，何謂也？歧伯曰：太過而同天化者三，不及而同天化者，亦三；太過而同地化者三；不及而同地化者亦三，此凡二十四歲也。帝曰：願聞其所謂也。
歧伯曰：风温，春化同，热曛昏火，夏化同，胜与复同，燥清烟露，秋化同，云雨昏暝埃长夏化同。寒气霜雪冰，冬化同。此天地五运六气之化，更用盛衰之常也。帝曰：五运行同天化者，命曰天符，余知之矣。愿闻同地化者，何谓也？歧伯曰：太过而同天化者三，不及而同天化者，亦三；太过而同地化者三；不及而同地化者亦三，此凡二十四岁也。帝曰：愿闻其所谓也。

歧伯说：风温与春化相同，热曛昏火与夏化相同，胜与复相同，燥清烟露与秋化相同，云雨昏暝尘埃与长夏化相同，寒气霜雪冰与冬化相同。这是天地五运六气之化，更相为用、有盛有衰的常度。黄帝说：五运运行而同于天化的，命名为天符，我已经知道了。希望听听同于地化的，叫作什么？歧伯说：太过而同于天化的有三，不及而同于天化的也有三；太过而同于地化的有三，不及而同于地化的也有三，这共是二十四年。黄帝说：希望听听它的具体所指。
Qi Bo said: wind and warmth are the same as the spring transformation; heat, dimness, darkness and fire the same as the summer transformation; prevalence and revenge are the same as each other; dryness, coolness, smoke and dew the same as the autumn transformation; cloud, rain, dimness, darkness and dust the same as the late-summer transformation; cold qi, frost, snow and ice the same as the winter transformation. These are the transformations of the five circuits and six qi of heaven and earth, the constant of their using one another with flourishing and decline. Huang Di said: where the five circuits in their movement are the same as the heavenly transformation it is named a heaven tally — I know that already. I wish to hear what is called the same as the earthly transformation. Qi Bo said: those in surplus and the same as the heavenly transformation are three, and those that fall short and are the same as the heavenly transformation are three as well; those in surplus and the same as the earthly transformation are three, and those that fall short and are the same as the earthly transformation are three as well — twenty-four years in all. Huang Di said: I wish to hear what they are.

Qi Bo said: in jia chen and jia xu, greater gong adds below to greater yin; in ren yin and ren shen, greater jue adds below to ceasing yin; in geng zi and geng wu, greater shang adds below to yang brightness — three such. In gui si and gui hai, lesser zhi adds below to lesser yang; in xin chou and xin wei, lesser yu adds below to greater yang; in gui mao and gui you, lesser zhi adds below to lesser yin — three such. In wu zi and wu wu, greater zhi comes down above upon lesser yin; in wu yin and wu shen, greater zhi comes down above upon lesser yang; in bing chen and bing xu, greater yu comes down above upon greater yang — three such. In ding si and ding hai, lesser jue comes down above upon ceasing yin; in yi mao and yi you, lesser shang comes down above upon yang brightness; in ji chou and ji wei, lesser gong comes down above upon greater yin — three such.

帝曰：加者何謂？歧伯曰：太過而加同天符，不及而加同歲會也。帝曰：臨者何謂？歧伯曰：太過不及，皆曰天符，而變行有多少，病形有微甚，生死有早晏耳。帝曰：夫子言用寒遠寒，用熱遠熱，余未知其然也。願聞何謂遠？歧伯曰：熱無犯熱，寒無犯寒，從者和，逆者病，不可不敬畏而遠之，所謂時興六位也。帝曰：温涼何如？
帝曰：加者何谓？歧伯曰：太过而加同天符，不及而加同岁会也。帝曰：临者何谓？歧伯曰：太过不及，皆曰天符，而变行有多少，病形有微甚，生死有早晏耳。帝曰：夫子言用寒远寒，用热远热，余未知其然也。愿闻何谓远？歧伯曰：热无犯热，寒无犯寒，从者和，逆者病，不可不敬畏而远之，所谓时兴六位也。帝曰：温凉何如？

黄帝说：加是什么意思？歧伯说：太过而加的，同于天符；不及而加的，同于岁会。黄帝说：临是什么意思？歧伯说：太过与不及，都叫作天符，只是变行有多少，病形有微甚，生死有早晚罢了。黄帝说：夫子说用寒要远寒、用热要远热，我还不明白其中的道理。希望听听什么叫作远？歧伯说：用热不要触犯热，用寒不要触犯寒，顺从的就和，违逆的就病，不可不敬畏而远离它，这就是所谓时兴六位。黄帝说：温凉怎么样呢？
Huang Di said: what is meant by adding? Qi Bo said: what is in surplus and adds is the same as a heaven tally, and what falls short and adds is the same as a year meeting. Huang Di said: what is meant by coming down? Qi Bo said: surplus and shortfall are both called heaven tallies; only the movement of change has more and less, the form of the illness slight and severe, and death and life early and late. Huang Di said: you have spoken of using cold and keeping far from cold, using heat and keeping far from heat; I do not yet understand how it is so. I wish to hear what is meant by keeping far. Qi Bo said: do not offend heat with heat, nor cold with cold; those who follow are harmonious and those who oppose fall ill; one cannot but stand in awe and keep far from them — this is what is called the six positions rising in season. Huang Di said: and warm and cool?

歧伯曰：司氣以熱，用熱無犯；司氣以寒，用寒無犯；司氣以涼，用涼無犯；司氣以温，用温無犯。閒氣同其主無犯，異其主則小犯之，是謂四畏，必謹察之。帝曰：善。其犯者何如？歧伯曰：天氣反時，則可依則及，勝其主，則可犯，以平爲期，而不可過，是謂邪氣反勝者。故曰：無失天信，無逆氣宜，無翼其勝，無贊其復，是謂至治。帝曰：善。五運氣行，主歲之紀，其有常數乎？
歧伯曰：司气以热，用热无犯；司气以寒，用寒无犯；司气以凉，用凉无犯；司气以温，用温无犯。间气同其主无犯，异其主则小犯之，是谓四畏，必谨察之。帝曰：善。其犯者何如？歧伯曰：天气反时，则可依则及，胜其主，则可犯，以平为期，而不可过，是谓邪气反胜者。故曰：无失天信，无逆气宜，无翼其胜，无赞其复，是谓至治。帝曰：善。五运气行，主岁之纪，其有常数乎？

歧伯说：司气为热，用热不要触犯；司气为寒，用寒不要触犯；司气为凉，用凉不要触犯；司气为温，用温不要触犯。间气与它的主气相同就不要触犯，与它的主气不同就可以稍稍触犯，这就叫四畏，必须谨慎审察。黄帝说：好。如果触犯了呢？歧伯说：天气与时令相反，就可以依从法则而触犯；胜过它的主气，就可以触犯，以平为期，而不可太过，这就是所谓邪气反胜。所以说：不要失掉天信，不要违逆气宜，不要助长它的胜气，不要赞助它的复气，这就叫至治。黄帝说：好。五运之气运行、主岁之纪，有常数吗？
Qi Bo said: when the presiding qi is heat, using heat does not offend; when the presiding qi is cold, using cold does not offend; when it is cool, using cool does not offend; when it is warm, using warm does not offend. Where the interval qi is the same as its governor it does not offend; where different from its governor one may offend slightly — this is called the four awes, and one must examine them carefully. Huang Di said: good. And what of one who does offend? Qi Bo said: when the qi of heaven goes against the season, one may offend according to the rule; when it prevails over its governor, one may offend, taking levelness as the mark and not going beyond — this is what is called evil qi prevailing in reverse. Therefore it is said: do not lose the trust of heaven, do not oppose what suits the qi, do not give wing to its prevalence, do not aid its revenge — this is called the highest governance. Huang Di said: good. As to the movement of the qi of the five circuits and the record of what governs the year, is there a constant number?

All these records of the fixed periods — prevalence and revenge, upright transformation — have their constant numbers, and one cannot but examine them. Therefore one who knows their gist finishes in a single word, and one who does not know it is scattered without end. This is what it means.

帝曰：善。五運之氣，亦復歲乎？歧伯曰：鬱極乃發，待時而作也。帝曰：請問其所謂也？歧伯曰：五常之氣，太過不及，其發異也。帝曰：願卒聞之。歧伯曰：太過者暴，不及者徐。暴者爲病甚，徐者爲病持。帝曰：太過不及，其數何如？歧伯曰：太過者，其數成；不及者，其數生，土常以生也。帝曰：其發也何如？
帝曰：善。五运之气，亦复岁乎？歧伯曰：郁极乃发，待时而作也。帝曰：请问其所谓也？歧伯曰：五常之气，太过不及，其发异也。帝曰：愿卒闻之。歧伯曰：太过者暴，不及者徐。暴者为病甚，徐者为病持。帝曰：太过不及，其数何如？歧伯曰：太过者，其数成；不及者，其数生，土常以生也。帝曰：其发也何如？
Dì yuē: shàn. Wǔ yùn zhī qì, yì fù suì hū? Qí bó yuē: yù jí nǎi fā, dài shí ér zuò yě. Dì yuē: qǐng wèn qí suǒ wèi yě? Qí bó yuē: wǔ cháng zhī qì, tài guò bù jí, qí fā yì yě. Dì yuē: yuàn zú wén zhī.

黄帝说：好。五运之气，也会在一年中回复吗？歧伯说：郁到极处就会发作，是等待时机而发作的。黄帝说：请问这是什么意思？歧伯说：五常之气，有太过有不及，它们的发作各不相同。黄帝说：希望听个究竟。歧伯说：太过的暴急，不及的徐缓。暴急的为病重，徐缓的为病缠身。黄帝说：太过与不及，其数怎样？歧伯说：太过的，其数成；不及的，其数生，土则常以生为数。黄帝说：它们的发作是怎样的呢？
Huang Di said: good. Does the qi of the five circuits also return within the year? Qi Bo said: when what is pent reaches its extreme it breaks out; it waits for its time and then acts. Huang Di said: pray tell me what that means. Qi Bo said: the qi of the five constants, in surplus and in shortfall, break out differently. Huang Di said: I wish to hear it to the end. Qi Bo said: what is in surplus is violent and what falls short is slow; the violent makes severe illness and the slow makes illness that lingers. Huang Di said: as to surplus and shortfall, what of their numbers? Qi Bo said: what is in surplus has the number of completion, what falls short has the number of birth — earth always takes birth for its number. Huang Di said: and what of their breaking out?

歧伯曰：土鬱之發，巖谷震驚，雷殷氣交，埃昏黄黑，化爲白氣，飄驟高深，擊石飛空，洪水乃從，川流漫衍，田牧土駒，化氣乃敷，善爲時雨，始生始長，始化始成。故民病心腹脹，腸鳴，而爲數後，甚則心痛脅䐜，嘔吐霍亂，飲發注下，胕腫身重。雲奔雨府，霞擁朝陽，山澤埃昏，其乃發也，以其四氣。雲横天山，浮游生滅，怫之先兆。
歧伯曰：土郁之发，岩谷震惊，雷殷气交，埃昏黄黑，化为白气，飘骤高深，击石飞空，洪水乃从，川流漫衍，田牧土驹，化气乃敷，善为时雨，始生始长，始化始成。故民病心腹胀，肠鸣，而为数后，甚则心痛胁䐜，呕吐霍乱，饮发注下，胕肿身重。云奔雨府，霞拥朝阳，山泽埃昏，其乃发也，以其四气。云横天山，浮游生灭，怫之先兆。
Qí bó yuē: tǔ yù zhī fā, yán gǔ zhèn jīng, léi yīn qì jiāo, āi hūn huáng hēi, huà wéi bái qì, piāo zhòu gāo shēn, jī shí fēi kōng, hóng shuǐ nǎi cóng, chuān liú màn yǎn, tián mù tǔ jū, huà qì nǎi fū, shàn wéi shí yǔ, shǐ shēng shǐ zhǎng, shǐ huà shǐ chéng.

歧伯说：土郁发作时，岩谷震惊，雷声在气交之处隆隆作响，尘埃昏黄发黑，化为白气，飘骤于高深之间，击石飞空，洪水随之而来，川流漫衍，田野牧地化为土驹，化气于是敷布，善于化作时雨，万物开始生长、开始化育、开始结实。所以百姓病心腹胀满、肠鸣，而成为频数下利，严重的则心痛、胁肋胀满，呕吐霍乱，痰饮发作、注下，浮肿、身体沉重。云气奔驰于雨府，霞光簇拥朝阳，山泽尘埃昏暗，这就是它发作的时候，在其四之气。云横天山，浮游生灭，这是怫郁的先兆。
Qi Bo said: when earth is pent and breaks out, the cliffs and valleys are shaken and alarmed; thunder rumbles at the junction of qi; dust darkens yellow and black and is transformed into white qi; it gusts high and deep; it strikes stones and hurls them into the air; great water follows; the streams run over and spread; fields and pasture become earth in the shape of colts; the transforming qi then spreads and well serves as seasonal rain; things begin to grow, begin to ripen, begin to transform, begin to be complete. Therefore the people are ill with distension of heart and belly and rumbling of the intestines, with frequent stool, and in severe cases heart pain and distension at the ribs, vomiting and cholera, rheumy outbreaks and running flux below, swollen feet and heaviness of body. Clouds run to the rain storehouse, sunset clouds crowd about the morning sun, and the dust of hills and marshes darkens — this is when it breaks out, in the fourth qi. Clouds lie across the mountains of heaven, floating and now living now dying — the foretoken of what is pent.
128
金鬱之發，天潔地明，風清氣切，大涼乃舉，草樹浮煙，燥氣以行，霿霧數起，殺氣來至，草木蒼乾，金乃有聲。故民病欬逆，心脅滿，引少腹，善暴痛，不可反側，嗌乾，面塵色惡。山澤焦枯，土凝霜鹵，怫，乃發也，其氣五。夜零白露，林莽聲悽，怫之兆也。
金郁之发，天洁地明，风清气切，大凉乃举，草树浮烟，燥气以行，霿雾数起，杀气来至，草木苍干，金乃有声。故民病咳逆，心胁满，引少腹，善暴痛，不可反侧，嗌干，面尘色恶。山泽焦枯，土凝霜卤，怫，乃发也，其气五。夜零白露，林莽声凄，怫之兆也。
Jīn yù zhī fā, tiān jié dì míng, fēng qīng qì qiè, dà liáng nǎi jǔ, cǎo shù fú yān, zào qì yǐ xíng, méng wù shuò qǐ, shā qì lái zhì, cǎo mù cāng gān, jīn nǎi yǒu shēng.

金郁发作时，天洁净、地光明，风清、气切，大凉兴起，草树浮烟，燥气流行，霿雾屡屡兴起，杀气到来，草木苍白干枯，金于是发出声响。所以百姓病咳逆、心胁胀满、牵引少腹，多突然疼痛，不能转侧，咽喉干燥，面色如尘、颜色难看。山泽焦枯，土壤凝结成霜卤，怫郁，这就是它发作的时候，在其五之气。夜里落下白露，林莽之间声音凄切，这是怫郁的征兆。
When metal is pent and breaks out, heaven is clean and earth bright; wind is clear and the qi pressing; great coolness is raised; grass and trees float in mist; the dry qi moves; murky fog rises again and again; the qi of killing arrives; grass and trees are pale and withered, and metal then gives out a sound. Therefore the people are ill with coughing and counterflow, fullness of heart and ribs drawing on the lower belly, often sudden pain that will not let them turn from side to side, a dry throat, and a dusty face of evil colour. Hills and marshes are scorched and withered, and the soil congeals into salt and frost; it is pent — this is when it breaks out, in the fifth qi. At night white dew falls and the woods and thickets give a mournful sound — the foretoken of what is pent.
129
水鬱之發，陽氣乃辟，陰氣暴舉，大寒乃至，川澤嚴凝，寒雰結爲霜雪，甚則黄黑昏翳，流行氣交，乃爲霜殺，水乃見祥。故民病寒客心痛，腰脽痛，大關節不利，屈伸不便，善厥逆，痞堅腹滿。陽光不治，空積沈陰，白埃昏暝，而乃發也，其氣二火前後。太虚深𤣥，氣猶麻散，微見而隱，色黑微黄，怫之先兆也。
水郁之发，阳气乃辟，阴气暴举，大寒乃至，川泽严凝，寒雰结为霜雪，甚则黄黑昏翳，流行气交，乃为霜杀，水乃见祥。故民病寒客心痛，腰脽痛，大关节不利，屈伸不便，善厥逆，痞坚腹满。阳光不治，空积沉阴，白埃昏暝，而乃发也，其气二火前后。太虚深𤣥，气犹麻散，微见而隐，色黑微黄，怫之先兆也。
Shuǐ yù zhī fā, yáng qì nǎi bì, yīn qì bào jǔ, dà hán nǎi zhì, chuān zé yán níng, hán fēn jié wéi shuāng xuě, shèn zé huáng hēi hūn yì, liú xíng qì jiāo, nǎi wéi shuāng shā, shuǐ nǎi xiàn xiáng.

Tài xū shēn xuán, qì yóu má sàn, wēi xiàn ér yǐn, sè hēi wēi huáng, fú zhī xiān zhào yě.
水郁发作时，阳气于是退避，阴气暴起，大寒于是到来，川泽严寒凝结，寒气结成霜雪，严重的则黄黑昏暗遮蔽，流行于气交，于是成为霜杀，水于是显现出征兆。所以百姓病寒邪客于心而痛、腰脽疼痛、大关节不利、屈伸不便，多厥逆，痞坚腹满。阳光不能施治，空中积聚沉阴，白色尘埃昏暗，而这时就发作，在其二之气，火气的前后。太虚深远幽玄，气如同麻一样散开，微微显现而又隐藏，色黑而微黄，这是怫郁的先兆。
When water is pent and breaks out, the yang qi withdraws; the yin qi rises violently; great cold then arrives; rivers and marshes are sternly congealed; the cold vapour congeals into frost and snow; and in severe cases yellow and black darken and veil it, moving at the junction of qi, and it becomes the killing of frost, and water shows its portent. Therefore the people are ill with cold lodging in the heart and pain, pain in the waist and buttocks, the great joints unmoving with bending and stretching uneasy, often reversal, and hard knots with fullness of belly. The light of the sun does not govern, and in the void there gathers a heavy yin, and white dust makes a dim darkness — then it breaks out, in the second qi, before and after the fire. The great void is deep and dark; the qi scatters like hemp, faintly seen and then hidden, black in colour with a little yellow — the foretoken of what is pent.
130
木鬱之發，太虚埃昏，雲物以擾，大風乃至，屋發折木，木有變。故民病胃脘當心而痛，上支兩脅，鬲咽不通，食飲不下，甚則耳鳴眩轉，目不識人，善暴僵仆。太虚蒼埃，天山一色，或氣濁色黄黑鬱若，横雲不起，雨而乃發也，其氣無常。長川草偃，柔葉呈陰，松吟高山，虎嘯巖岫，怫之先兆也。
木郁之发，太虚埃昏，云物以扰，大风乃至，屋发折木，木有变。故民病胃脘当心而痛，上支两胁，鬲咽不通，食饮不下，甚则耳鸣眩转，目不识人，善暴僵仆。太虚苍埃，天山一色，或气浊色黄黑郁若，横云不起，雨而乃发也，其气无常。长川草偃，柔叶呈阴，松吟高山，虎啸岩岫，怫之先兆也。

木郁发作时，太虚尘埃昏暗，云物因而扰乱，大风于是到来，掀屋折木，木有异变。所以百姓病胃脘当心而痛，上支两胁，膈咽不通，饮食不下，严重的则耳鸣、眩晕转侧，眼不识人，多突然僵仆。太虚苍色尘埃，天山一色，或气浑浊、色黄黑而郁结，横云不起，下雨时就发作，其气无常。长河之畔草叶倒伏，柔嫩的叶子显出阴色，松树在高山上吟响，猛虎在岩岫间啸叫，这是怫郁的先兆。
When wood is pent and breaks out, dust darkens the great void; clouds and things are troubled; great wind then arrives; roofs are lifted and trees snapped; wood has its change. Therefore the people are ill with pain in the stomach when it faces the heart, propping upward to both ribs, the diaphragm and throat blocked, food and drink not going down, and in severe cases ringing in the ears, dizziness and turning, eyes that do not know people, and often sudden collapse. The great void is a blue-gray dust, heaven and hills one colour; or the qi is turbid, yellow-black and pent; lying clouds do not rise, and in rain it then breaks out — its qi has no constant. On the long river the grass lies down, the tender leaves show a shady colour, the pine sings on the high hills, the tiger roars among cliffs and caves — the foretoken of what is pent.
131
火鬱之發，太虚腫翳，大明不彰，炎火行，大暑至，山澤燔燎，材木流津，廣厦騰煙，土浮霜鹵，止水乃減，蔓草焦黄，風行惑言，濕化乃後。
火郁之发，太虚肿翳，大明不彰，炎火行，大暑至，山泽燔燎，材木流津，广厦腾烟，土浮霜卤，止水乃减，蔓草焦黄，风行惑言，湿化乃后。
Huǒ yù zhī fā, tài xū zhǒng yì, dà míng bù zhāng, yán huǒ xíng, dà shǔ zhì, shān zé fán liǎo, cái mù liú jīn, guǎng shà téng yān, tǔ fú shuāng lǔ, zhǐ shuǐ nǎi jiǎn, màn cǎo jiāo huáng, fēng xíng huò yán, shī huà nǎi hòu.
火郁发作时，太虚肿胀遮蔽，太阳不明亮，炎火流行，大暑到来，山泽焚烧，材木流出津液，广大的房舍腾起烟气，地上浮起霜卤，静止的水于是减少，蔓草焦黄，风流行而多惑乱之言，湿化于是滞后。
When fire is pent and breaks out, the great void swells and is veiled; the great brightness is not bright; blazing fire moves; great heat arrives; hills and marshes burn; timber exudes its sap; broad houses send up smoke; the soil floats with salt and frost; standing water then diminishes; creeping grasses scorch and yellow; wind moves and words confuse; the damp transformation then comes late.
132
故民病少氣，瘡瘍癰腫，脅、腹、胸、背，面首四支，䐜憤，臚脹，瘍疿，嘔逆，瘛瘲骨痛，節乃有動，注下温瘧，腹中暴痛，血溢流注，精液乃少，目赤心熱，甚則瞀悶懊憹，善暴死。刻終大温，汗濡𤣥府，其乃發也，其氣四。
故民病少气，疮疡痈肿，胁、腹、胸、背，面首四支，䐜愤，胪胀，疡疿，呕逆，瘛疭骨痛，节乃有动，注下温疟，腹中暴痛，血溢流注，精液乃少，目赤心热，甚则瞀闷懊憹，善暴死。刻终大温，汗濡𤣥府，其乃发也，其气四。
Gù mín bìng shǎo qì, chuāng yáng yōng zhǒng, xié, fù, xiōng, bèi, miàn shǒu sì zhī, chēn fèn, lú zhàng, yáng fèi, ǒu nì, chì zòng gǔ tòng, jié nǎi yǒu dòng, zhù xià wēn nüè, fù zhōng bào tòng, xuè yì liú zhù, jīng yè nǎi shǎo, mù chì xīn rè, shèn zé mào mèn ào náo, shàn bào sǐ. Kè zhōng dà wēn, hàn rú xuán fǔ, qí nǎi fā yě, qí qì sì.
所以百姓病少气，疮疡痈肿，胁、腹、胸、背，面、头、四肢肿胀，皮肤胀满，疮疡痱子，呕逆，瘛瘲骨痛，关节因而摇动，注下、温疟，腹中突然疼痛，血溢流注，精液于是减少，目赤心热，严重的则昏闷懊憹，多突然死亡。一日的时刻将尽时气候大温，汗水濡湿玄府，这就是它发作的时候，在其四之气。
Therefore the people are ill with scant qi, with sores and swellings, with swelling of the ribs, belly, chest and back, the face, head and four limbs, with scaly heat and rashes, with vomiting and counterflow, with twitching and bone pain, with joints that move of themselves, with running flux and warm malaria, with sudden pain in the belly, with blood spilling and pouring, with a scantness of essence and fluid, with red eyes and heat in the heart, and in severe cases dim oppression and gnawing grief; they often die suddenly. When the mark of the clepsydra ends there is great warmth, and sweat soaks the dark gates — then it breaks out, in the fourth qi.
133
動復則靜，陽極反陰，濕令乃化乃成，華發水凝，山川冰雪，焰陽午澤，怫之先兆也。有怫之應而後報也，皆觀其極而乃發也。木發無時，水隨火也。謹𠉀其時，病可與期。失時反歲，五氣不行，生化收藏，政無恒也。
动复则静，阳极反阴，湿令乃化乃成，华发水凝，山川冰雪，焰阳午泽，怫之先兆也。有怫之应而后报也，皆观其极而乃发也。木发无时，水随火也。谨候其时，病可与期。失时反岁，五气不行，生化收藏，政无恒也。
Dòng fù zé jìng, yáng jí fǎn yīn, shī lìng nǎi huà nǎi chéng, huá fā shuǐ níng, shān chuān bīng xuě, yàn yáng wǔ zé, fú zhī xiān zhào yě. Yǒu fú zhī yìng ér hòu bào yě, jiē guān qí jí ér nǎi fā yě.

动过之后就会静，阳极就反为阴，湿令于是化育、于是成就，花开而水凝，山川结冰降雪，阳气止于泽上，这是怫郁的先兆。有怫郁的应验而后才发作，都是观察它到了极处才发作。木的发作没有定时，水随从火。谨慎候察它的时机，发病的日期就可以约定。如果失掉时令、与岁气相违，五气不能运行，生、化、收、藏，其政就没有常度了。
When movement is past it is stillness; when yang reaches its extreme it turns to yin; the command of dampness then transforms and completes; blossoms open and water congeals; hills and streams are ice and snow; flame-yang crosses the marsh — the foretoken of what is pent. There is the answer of what is pent, and only then the outbreak; all of them are watched to their extreme before they break out. Wood breaks out at no fixed time; water follows fire. Watch their season carefully and the illness can be foretold. If one loses the season and goes against the year, the five qi do not move, and of birth and transformation, gathering and storing, the governance has no constancy.
134
帝曰：水發而雹雪，土發而飄驟，木發而毁折，金發而清明，火發而曛昧，何氣使然？歧伯曰：氣有多少，發有微甚。微者當其氣，甚者兼其下，徴其下氣，而見可知也。帝曰：善。五氣之發，不當位者，何也？歧伯曰：命其差。帝曰：差有數乎？歧伯曰：後皆三十度而有奇也。帝曰：氣至而先後者何？歧伯曰：運太過，則其至先，運不及，則其至後，此候之常也。帝曰：當時而至者，何也？
帝曰：水发而雹雪，土发而飘骤，木发而毁折，金发而清明，火发而曛昧，何气使然？歧伯曰：气有多少，发有微甚。微者当其气，甚者兼其下，徵其下气，而见可知也。帝曰：善。五气之发，不当位者，何也？歧伯曰：命其差。帝曰：差有数乎？歧伯曰：后皆三十度而有奇也。帝曰：气至而先后者何？歧伯曰：运太过，则其至先，运不及，则其至后，此候之常也。帝曰：当时而至者，何也？

黄帝说：水郁发作则降雹雪，土郁发作则狂风骤雨，木郁发作则毁折，金郁发作则清明，火郁发作则昏昧，是什么气使它这样？歧伯说：气有多少，发作有微甚。轻微的正当其本气，严重的就兼及它下面的气，验之于下面的气，就可以知道了。黄帝说：好。五气的发作，不在其本位，为什么？歧伯说：这叫做差。黄帝说：差有定数吗？歧伯说：都在三十度有余之后。黄帝说：气到来有先有后，为什么？歧伯说：运太过，到来就早；运不及，到来就晚，这是候察的常度。黄帝说：按时而到来的，又怎样呢？
Huang Di said: water breaks out in hail and snow, earth in sudden squalls, wood in breakage and snapping, metal in clear brightness, fire in dim darkness — what qi makes it so? Qi Bo said: the qi has more and less, and the outbreak slight and severe. The slight keeps to its own qi; the severe takes in what lies below it, and by testing the qi below, what appears can be known. Huang Di said: good. When the outbreak of the five qi is not in its proper position, why is that? Qi Bo said: it is called a lag. Huang Di said: has the lag a number? Qi Bo said: afterwards they are all thirty degrees and a fraction. Huang Di said: what of the qi arriving early or late? Qi Bo said: when the circuit is in surplus it arrives early, when the circuit falls short it arrives late — this is the constant of watching. Huang Di said: and what of the one that arrives in its season?
135
歧伯曰：非太過，非不及，則至當時，非是者眚也。帝曰：善。氣有非時而化者，何也？歧伯曰：太過者，當其時。不及者，歸其已勝也。帝曰：四時之氣，至有早晏，高下左右，其候何如？歧伯曰：行有逆順。至有遲速。故太過者化先天。不及者，化後天。帝曰：願聞其行何謂也？
歧伯曰：非太过，非不及，则至当时，非是者眚也。帝曰：善。气有非时而化者，何也？歧伯曰：太过者，当其时。不及者，归其已胜也。帝曰：四时之气，至有早晏，高下左右，其候何如？歧伯曰：行有逆顺。至有迟速。故太过者化先天。不及者，化后天。帝曰：愿闻其行何谓也？

歧伯说：既非太过，也非不及，就按时到来；不是这样的就是眚。黄帝说：好。气有不合时令而化的，为什么？歧伯说：太过之气，正当其时；不及之气，归返于它已经取胜之气。黄帝说：四时之气，到来有早有晚，有高下左右，怎样候察？歧伯说：运行有逆有顺，到来有迟有速。所以太过的化先于天时，不及的化后于天时。黄帝说：希望听听它的运行是怎样的？
Qi Bo said: neither in surplus nor in shortfall, it arrives in its season; what is not so is a calamity. Huang Di said: good. When qi transforms out of season, why is that? Qi Bo said: what is in surplus keeps to its season; what falls short returns to what has already prevailed over it. Huang Di said: as to the qi of the four seasons, their arrival early and late, high and low, left and right — how is one to watch them? Qi Bo said: their movement has reverse and forward, their arrival slowness and speed. Therefore what is in surplus transforms ahead of heaven and what falls short transforms behind heaven. Huang Di said: I wish to hear what its movement is.

歧伯曰：春氣西行，夏氣北行，秋氣東行，冬氣南行。故春氣始於下，秋氣始於上，夏氣始於中，冬氣始於標；春氣始於左，秋氣始於右；冬氣始於後，夏氣始於前。此四時正化之常。故至高之地，冬氣常在；至下之地，春氣常在，必謹察之。帝曰：善。黄帝問曰：五運、六氣之應見，六化之正，六變之紀，何如？
歧伯曰：春气西行，夏气北行，秋气东行，冬气南行。故春气始于下，秋气始于上，夏气始于中，冬气始于标；春气始于左，秋气始于右；冬气始于后，夏气始于前。此四时正化之常。故至高之地，冬气常在；至下之地，春气常在，必谨察之。帝曰：善。黄帝问曰：五运、六气之应见，六化之正，六变之纪，何如？
Qí bó yuē: chūn qì xī xíng, xià qì běi xíng, qiū qì dōng xíng, dōng qì nán xíng. Gù chūn qì shǐ yú xià, qiū qì shǐ yú shàng, xià qì shǐ yú zhōng, dōng qì shǐ yú biāo; chūn qì shǐ yú zuǒ, qiū qì shǐ yú yòu; dōng qì shǐ yú hòu, xià qì shǐ yú qián. Cǐ sì shí zhèng huà zhī cháng. Gù zhì gāo zhī dì, dōng qì cháng zài; zhì xià zhī dì, chūn qì cháng zài, bì jǐn chá zhī. Dì yuē: shàn. Huáng dì wèn yuē: wǔ yùn, liù qì zhī yìng xiàn, liù huà zhī zhèng, liù biàn zhī jì, hé rú?
歧伯说：春气向西行，夏气向北行，秋气向东行，冬气向南行。所以春气起于下部，秋气起于上部，夏气起于中部，冬气起于末梢；春气起于左，秋气起于右；冬气起于后，夏气起于前。这是四时正化的常度。所以最高的地方，冬气常在；最低的地方，春气常在，必须谨慎审察。黄帝说：好。黄帝问道：五运、六气的应验显现，六化之正，六变之纪，是怎样的呢？
Qi Bo said: the spring qi moves west, the summer qi north, the autumn qi east, the winter qi south. Therefore the spring qi begins below, the autumn qi above, the summer qi in the centre and the winter qi at the tip; the spring qi begins on the left and the autumn qi on the right; the winter qi begins behind and the summer qi in front. These are the constants of the upright transformation of the four seasons. Therefore in the highest places the winter qi is always present, and in the lowest the spring qi is always present; one must watch them carefully. Huang Di said: good. Huang Di asked: as to the answering appearance of the five circuits and six qi, the uprightness of the six transformations and the record of the six changes, what are they?
Qí bó duì yuē: fú liù qì zhèng jì, yǒu huà yǒu biàn, yǒu shèng yǒu fù, yǒu yòng yǒu bìng. Bù tóng qí hòu, dì yù hé hū? Dì yuē: yuàn jìn wén zhī. Qí bó yuē: qǐng suì yán zhī. Fú qì zhī suǒ zhì yě.

歧伯回答说：六气正纪，有化有变，有胜有复，有用有病，它们的候察各不相同，帝王想问哪一样？黄帝说：希望全部听到。歧伯说：请让我逐一道来。气的所至：厥阴所至为和平，少阴所至为暄暖，太阴所至为尘埃溽湿，少阳所至为炎暑，阳明所至为清劲，太阳所至为寒雰，这是时化的常度。
Qi Bo answered: the upright record of the six qi has its transformations and its changes, its prevalences and its revenges, its uses and its illnesses; their watchings are not alike — which would the emperor have? Huang Di said: I wish to hear them all. Qi Bo said: let me speak of them in order. As to where the qi arrives: where ceasing yin arrives there is peace and harmony; where lesser yin arrives, warmth; where greater yin arrives, dust and sultry damp; where lesser yang arrives, scorching heat; where yang brightness arrives, clear hardness; where greater yang arrives, cold vapour — the constant of the transformation of the seasons.

帝曰：願聞其用也。歧伯曰：夫六氣之用，各歸不勝而爲化。故太陰雨化，施於太陽；太陽寒化，施於少陰；少陰熱化，施於陽明；陽明燥化，施於厥陰；厥陰風化，施於太陰；各命其所在，以徴之也。帝曰：自得其位何如？歧伯曰：自得其位，常化也。帝曰：願聞所在也。歧伯曰：命其位而方月可知也。帝曰：六位之氣，盈虚何如？歧伯曰：太少異也，太者之至徐而常，少者暴而亡。
帝曰：愿闻其用也。歧伯曰：夫六气之用，各归不胜而为化。故太阴雨化，施于太阳；太阳寒化，施于少阴；少阴热化，施于阳明；阳明燥化，施于厥阴；厥阴风化，施于太阴；各命其所在，以徵之也。帝曰：自得其位何如？歧伯曰：自得其位，常化也。帝曰：愿闻所在也。歧伯曰：命其位而方月可知也。帝曰：六位之气，盈虚何如？歧伯曰：太少异也，太者之至徐而常，少者暴而亡。

黄帝说：希望听听它的作用。歧伯说：六气的作用，各自归于它所不胜的而化为气。所以太阴的雨化，施于太阳；太阳的寒化，施于少阴；少阴的热化，施于阳明；阳明的燥化，施于厥阴；厥阴的风化，施于太阴；各自命名它所在之处，来验证它。黄帝说：自得其位又怎样？歧伯说：自得其位，就是常化。黄帝说：希望听听它的所在。歧伯说：命名它的位置，方位和月份就可以知道了。黄帝说：六位之气，盈虚怎样？歧伯说：太过与不及各不相同，太过的到来徐缓而有常，不及的暴急而消亡。
Huang Di said: I wish to hear its use. Qi Bo said: as to the use of the six qi, each returns to what it does not prevail over and so becomes transformation. Therefore the rain transformation of greater yin is applied to greater yang; the cold transformation of greater yang to lesser yin; the heat transformation of lesser yin to yang brightness; the dryness transformation of yang brightness to ceasing yin; the wind transformation of ceasing yin to greater yin — each naming where it is, to test it. Huang Di said: and when it gets its own position? Qi Bo said: getting its own position is the constant transformation. Huang Di said: I wish to hear where it is. Qi Bo said: name its position and the direction and month can be known. Huang Di said: as to the qi of the six positions, what of their fullness and emptiness? Qi Bo said: the over and the under differ: what is over arrives slowly and constantly, what is under comes violently and is soon gone.

帝曰：天地之氣，盈虚何如？歧伯曰：天氣不足，地氣隨之；地氣不足，天氣從之，運居其中，而常先也。惡所不勝，歸所同和，隨運歸從，而生其病也。故上勝則天氣降而下，下勝則地氣遷而上，多少而差其分，微者小差，甚者大差，甚則位易氣交，易則大變生而病作矣。大要曰：甚紀五分，微紀七分，其差可見，此之謂也。
帝曰：天地之气，盈虚何如？歧伯曰：天气不足，地气随之；地气不足，天气从之，运居其中，而常先也。恶所不胜，归所同和，随运归从，而生其病也。故上胜则天气降而下，下胜则地气迁而上，多少而差其分，微者小差，甚者大差，甚则位易气交，易则大变生而病作矣。大要曰：甚纪五分，微纪七分，其差可见，此之谓也。
Dì yuē: tiān dì zhī qì, yíng xū hé rú? Qí bó yuē: tiān qì bù zú, dì qì suí zhī; dì qì bù zú, tiān qì cóng zhī, yùn jū qí zhōng, ér cháng xiān yě.

黄帝说：天地之气，盈虚怎样？歧伯说：天气不足，地气随从它；地气不足，天气随从它，运居于中间，而常常在先。厌恶它所不胜的，归向与它同和的，随运归从，因而生病。所以上面的胜，天气就下降；下面的胜，地气就迁上，多少而相差其分，轻微的小差，严重的就大差，严重的就位置变易、气交改易，改易就会产生大变而发病。大要上说：严重的纪相差五分，轻微的纪相差七分，它的差就可以看出来了，说的就是这个。
Huang Di said: as to the qi of heaven and earth, what of their fullness and emptiness? Qi Bo said: when the qi of heaven falls short the qi of earth follows it; when the qi of earth falls short the qi of heaven follows it; the circuit lies between them and is always first. It dislikes what it does not prevail over and returns to what is in harmony with it; following the circuit it returns and follows, and so illness arises. Therefore when what is above prevails the qi of heaven descends, and when what is below prevails the qi of earth moves up; by more and less their portions differ: the slight make a small difference, the severe a great difference, and in the extreme the positions change places at the junction of qi; and when they change, great changes arise and illness occurs. The Great Compendium says: the severe record differs by five parts and the slight record by seven; and so the difference can be seen. This is what it means.

帝曰：善。論言熱無犯熱，寒無犯寒，余欲不遠寒，不遠熱，柰何？歧伯曰：悉乎哉問也。發表不遠熱，攻裏不遠寒。帝曰：不發不攻，而犯寒犯熱，何如？歧伯曰：寒熱内賊，其病益甚。帝曰：願聞無病者何如？歧伯曰：無者生之，有者甚之。帝曰：生者何如？
帝曰：善。论言热无犯热，寒无犯寒，余欲不远寒，不远热，奈何？歧伯曰：悉乎哉问也。发表不远热，攻里不远寒。帝曰：不发不攻，而犯寒犯热，何如？歧伯曰：寒热内贼，其病益甚。帝曰：愿闻无病者何如？歧伯曰：无者生之，有者甚之。帝曰：生者何如？
Dì yuē: shàn. Lùn yán rè wú fàn rè, hán wú fàn hán, yú yù bù yuǎn hán, bù yuǎn rè, nài hé? Qí bó yuē: xī hū zāi wèn yě. Fā biǎo bù yuǎn rè, gōng lǐ bù yuǎn hán. Dì yuē: bù fā bù gōng, ér fàn hán fàn rè, hé rú? Qí bó yuē: hán rè nèi zéi, qí bìng yì shèn. Dì yuē: yuàn wén wú bìng zhě hé rú? Qí bó yuē: wú zhě shēng zhī, yǒu zhě shèn zhī. Dì yuē: shēng zhě hé rú?
黄帝说：好。论中说热不要触犯热，寒不要触犯寒，我想既不避开寒，也不避开热，该怎么办？歧伯说：问得真详尽啊！发表不必避开热，攻里不必避开寒。黄帝说：既不发表也不攻里，却触犯寒、触犯热，会怎样？歧伯说：寒热在内成为贼邪，病就更加严重。黄帝说：希望听听没有病的人怎样？歧伯说：无病的会因而生病，有病的会更加严重。黄帝说：生病又怎样？
Huang Di said: good. The discourse says do not offend heat with heat, nor cold with cold; but I wish neither to keep far from cold nor to keep far from heat — how is that? Qi Bo said: how thorough the question is! In dispersing the exterior one need not keep far from heat, and in attacking the interior one need not keep far from cold. Huang Di said: what if one neither disperses nor attacks, yet offends cold and heat? Qi Bo said: cold and heat become thieves within, and the illness grows worse. Huang Di said: I wish to hear of one who is not ill. Qi Bo said: it breeds illness in the sound and worsens it in the sick. Huang Di said: and what of the breeding?

歧伯曰：不遠熱則熱至，不遠寒則寒至，寒至則堅否腹滿，痛急下利之病生矣。熱至則身熱，吐下霍亂，癰疽瘡瘍，瞀鬱注下，瞤瘛腫脹，嘔鼽衄頭痛，骨節變，肉痛，血溢，血泄，淋閟之病生矣。帝曰：治之柰何？歧伯曰：時必順之，犯者治以勝也。黄帝問曰：婦人重身，毒之何如？歧伯曰：有故無殞，亦無殞也。帝曰：願聞其故，何謂也？
歧伯曰：不远热则热至，不远寒则寒至，寒至则坚否腹满，痛急下利之病生矣。热至则身热，吐下霍乱，痈疽疮疡，瞀郁注下，瞤瘛肿胀，呕鼽衄头痛，骨节变，肉痛，血溢，血泄，淋閟之病生矣。帝曰：治之奈何？歧伯曰：时必顺之，犯者治以胜也。黄帝问曰：妇人重身，毒之何如？歧伯曰：有故无殒，亦无殒也。帝曰：愿闻其故，何谓也？
Qí bó yuē: bù yuǎn rè zé rè zhì, bù yuǎn hán zé hán zhì, hán zhì zé jiān pǐ fù mǎn, tòng jí xià lì zhī bìng shēng yǐ. Rè zhì zé shēn rè, tù xià huò luàn, yōng jū chuāng yáng, mào yù zhù xià, shùn chì zhǒng zhàng, ǒu qiú nǜ tóu tòng, gǔ jié biàn, ròu tòng, xuè yì, xuè xiè, lín bì zhī bìng shēng yǐ. Dì yuē: zhì zhī nài hé? Qí bó yuē: shí bì shùn zhī, fàn zhě zhì yǐ shèng yě. Huáng dì wèn yuē: fù rén chóng shēn, dú zhī hé rú? Qí bó yuē: yǒu gù wú yǔn, yì wú yǔn yě. Dì yuē: yuàn wén qí gù, hé wèi yě?
歧伯说：不避开热，热就会到来；不避开寒，寒就会到来。寒到来，就有坚否、腹满、痛急、下利之类的病发生。热到来，就会身热，吐下霍乱，痈疽疮疡，昏闷郁结、注下，瞤动瘛瘲、肿胀，呕吐、鼽衄、头痛，骨节变异，肌肉疼痛，血溢，血泄，淋閟之类的病发生。黄帝说：怎样治疗？歧伯说：时令必须顺从而不违，触犯了的就用它所胜之气来治。黄帝问道：妇人怀孕，用毒药怎样？歧伯说：有故则无殒，也不会殒落。黄帝说：希望听听其中的缘故，是什么意思？
Qi Bo said: if one does not keep far from heat, heat arrives; if one does not keep far from cold, cold arrives. When cold arrives, illnesses of hard blockage, fullness of belly, urgent pain and flux arise. When heat arrives, there is fever, vomiting and purging with cholera, abscesses and sores, dim pent flux below, twitching and convulsion with swelling and distension, vomiting, snivelling, nosebleed and headache, altered joints, painful flesh, blood spilling, blood pouring, and strangury and stoppage. Huang Di said: how is one to treat them? Qi Bo said: the season must be followed; what has been offended is treated with what prevails over it. Huang Di asked: when a woman is with child, what of using poisons? Qi Bo said: where there is cause there is no destruction, nor will she be destroyed. Huang Di said: I wish to hear the cause — what is meant?

歧伯曰：大積大聚，其可犯也，衰其太半而止，過者死。帝曰：善。鬱之甚者，治之柰何？歧伯曰：木鬱逹之，火鬱發之，土鬱奪之，金鬱泄之，水鬱折之，然調其氣，過者折之，以其畏也，所謂冩之。帝曰：假者何如？歧伯曰：有假其氣，則無禁也，所謂主氣不足，客氣勝也。
歧伯曰：大积大聚，其可犯也，衰其太半而止，过者死。帝曰：善。郁之甚者，治之奈何？歧伯曰：木郁达之，火郁发之，土郁夺之，金郁泄之，水郁折之，然调其气，过者折之，以其畏也，所谓写之。帝曰：假者何如？歧伯曰：有假其气，则无禁也，所谓主气不足，客气胜也。
Qí bó yuē: dà jī dà jù, qí kě fàn yě, shuāi qí tài bàn ér zhǐ, guò zhě sǐ. Dì yuē: shàn. Yù zhī shèn zhě, zhì zhī nài hé? Qí bó yuē: mù yù dá zhī, huǒ yù fā zhī, tǔ yù duó zhī, jīn yù xiè zhī, shuǐ yù zhé zhī, rán tiáo qí qì, guò zhě zhé zhī, yǐ qí wèi yě, suǒ wèi xiè zhī. Dì yuē: jiǎ zhě hé rú? Qí bó yuē: yǒu jiǎ qí qì, zé wú jìn yě, suǒ wèi zhǔ qì bù zú, kè qì shèng yě.
歧伯说：大积大聚，是可以触犯的，衰减它一大半就停止，超过了就会死。黄帝说：好。郁得厉害的，怎样治疗？歧伯说：木郁要通达它，火郁要发散它，土郁要夺取它，金郁要宣泄它，水郁要折损它，然后调理其气，太过的折损它，用它所畏之气，这就是所谓泻。黄帝说：假借的情况怎样？歧伯说：有假借其气的，就没有禁忌，这就是所谓主气不足、客气偏胜。
Qi Bo said: great accumulations and great gatherings may be offended; lessen them by more than half and stop — to go beyond is death. Huang Di said: good. When what is pent is severe, how is it treated? Qi Bo said: when wood is pent, reach through it; when fire is pent, disperse it; when earth is pent, take from it; when metal is pent, drain it; when water is pent, break it; and then tune their qi. What is over is broken with what it fears — this is what is called draining. Huang Di said: what of a pretext? Qi Bo said: when the qi is borrowed there is no prohibition — this is what is called the governing qi falling short and the guest qi prevailing.
Dì yuē: zhì zāi! Shèng rén zhī dào. Tiān dì dà huà, yùn xíng zhī jié, lín yù zhī jì, yīn yáng zhī zhèng, hán shǔ zhī jīn, fēi fú zǐ shú néng tōng zhī? Qǐng cáng zhī líng lán zhī shì, shǔ yuē liù yuán zhèng jì, fēi zhāi jiè bù gǎn shì, shèn chuán yě.
黄帝说：博大啊！圣人的道理。天地的大化，运行的节度，临御的纲纪，阴阳的政令，寒暑的时令，若不是夫子，谁能通晓它？请把它藏在灵兰之室，题名为《六元正纪》，不是斋戒之后不敢出示，慎重地传下去。
Huang Di said: how great it is! The way of the sage — the great transformation of heaven and earth, the seasons of their movement, the order of their coming down to govern, the governance of yin and yang, the commands of cold and heat: but for you, who could master it? Let it be stored in the Orchid Chamber of the Numinous, inscribed as the Six Origins and the Regular Order; unless one has fasted and purified, one dare not show it. Hand it down with care.
