Therefore it is said: when the sage treats illness he must know the yin and yang of heaven and earth, the ordering of the four seasons, the five viscera and six receptacles, the female and the male, the outer and the inner, and what needling, moxa, stone and potent drugs each govern; he takes human affairs at ease, so as to make clear the way of the canon; noble and base, rich and poor have each their differing kinds and principles; he asks whether a man is young or grown, and the principle of courage and cowardice; he examines the divisions, knows the root and beginning of the illness, and in the eight upright and the nine indicators his diagnosis must match.
「八正」本篇1見；「八正九𠉀，診必副矣」一句，結上「必知天地陰陽」以下諸事；「𠉀」為候之異體，第二十六、二十七篇底本並作此形。

Shàng guān xià guān, sī bā zhèng xié, bié wǔ zhōng bù, àn mài dòng jìng,
“look above and look below, watch the evils of the eight uprights, distinguish the five divisions of the middle, press the pulse and note its movement and stillness,”
「八正」本篇1見，止此一見；「司八正邪」，謂司察八節正氣之邪；此目為第七十七篇所立，此篇再引；「八正邪」即八正之邪，非「正邪」連文

Qibo says: In every method of needling, one must watch for the qi of sun and moon, of stars and constellations, of the four seasons and the eight standards; only when that qi has settled does one needle.
「必𠉀日月星辰四時八正之氣」；八正謂二分二至四立八節之正氣；與 77 篇「八正」同義，此處為刺法所𠉀
用鍼之服，必有法則，上視天光，下司八正，以辟奇邪，而觀百姓，審於虚實，無犯其邪。是得天之露，遇歲之虚，救而不勝，反受其殃。

In the service of the needle there must be a rule: above look to the heavenly light, below govern the eight uprights, to ward off anomalous evil and to observe the hundred clans; examine emptiness and fullness, and do not offend against their evil. If one meets heaven’s dew and encounters the year’s emptiness, though one rescue, one cannot prevail, and instead suffers its calamity.

Eight is the winds. The winds answer to man’s eight joints of thigh and arm, the empty winds of the eight uprights. When the eight winds injure a man they lodge within the bone seams, the lower back and spine, the joints and interstices, making deep obstruction. So for this needle one must make the body long and the tip sharp, to take deep evil and distant obstruction.

The Emperor asked Shao Shi: I have heard that the four seasons’ eight winds injure men, and that there is cold and heat in it. When cold, the skin is tight and the interstices closed; when hot, the skin is slack and the interstices open. Does thieving wind and evil qi get in by this? Or must it be the empty evil of the eight uprights that can injure a man?
