天氣，清淨光明者也。藏德不止，故不下也。天明則日月不明，邪害空竅，陽氣者閉塞，地氣者冒明。

The qi of heaven is pure, still, bright and luminous. It stores its virtue away and never stops, and so it does not fall. If the sky becomes over-bright, then sun and moon lose their light, and evils harm the openings; the yang qi is stopped up and shut in, and the qi of earth throws a veil over the brightness.
**「地氣」本篇3見**；**「冒明」之冒讀 mào，蒙也**；**天氣、地氣對舉，本篇二見**
惟賢人上配天以養頭，下象地以養足，中傍人事以養五藏。天氣通於肺，地氣通於嗌，風氣通於肝，雷氣通於心，谷氣通於脾，雨氣通於腎。

Only the worthy person above matches heaven to nourish the head, below images earth to nourish the feet, and in the middle relies on human affairs to nourish the five viscera. The qi of heaven communicates with the lung; the qi of earth with the pharynx; the qi of wind with the liver; the qi of thunder with the heart; the qi of the valleys with the spleen; the qi of rain with the kidney.
「地氣通於嗌」——地氣通嗌，與天氣通肺相對；**「地氣」本篇3見**
歧伯曰：地氣制之也，非天不生，地不長也。帝曰：願聞其道。歧伯曰：寒熱燥濕，不同其化也。

Qi Bo said: the qi of earth constrains it; it is not that heaven does not engender or earth does not grow. Huang Di said: I wish to hear the way of it. Qi Bo said: cold, heat, dryness and dampness — their transformations are not alike.
**「地氣」本篇3見：一在堅成之紀「地氣明」，一在「地氣制已勝」（見於五十一之段），一在此段「地氣制之也，非天不生，地不長也」**；**此段答生化薄厚、成熟少多之問**
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？

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.

帝曰：願聞其道也。歧伯曰：初氣終三氣，天氣主之，勝之常也。四氣盡終氣，地氣主之，復之常也。有勝則復，無勝則否。帝曰：善。復已而勝何如？歧伯曰：勝至則復，無常數也，衰迺止耳。復已而勝，不復則害，此傷生也。帝曰：復而反病何也？歧伯曰：居非其位，不相得也。大復其勝，則主勝之，故反病也，所謂火燥熱也。帝曰：治之何如？

Huang Di said: I wish to hear the way of it. Qi Bo said: from the first qi to the third the qi of heaven governs — the constant of prevalence; from the fourth qi to the end the qi of earth governs — the constant of revenge. Where there is prevalence there is revenge; where there is none there is none. Huang Di said: good. What of prevalence after revenge is done? Qi Bo said: when prevalence arrives there is revenge, without a constant number, and it stops only when it declines. If there is prevalence after revenge and no revenge follows, there is harm — this injures life. Huang Di said: why is there illness instead when revenge occurs? Qi Bo said: it dwells in a place not its own, and they do not get on together. When the revenge greatly exceeds its prevalence, the host prevails over it; hence illness instead — the fire, dryness and heat of which it speaks. Huang Di said: how is it treated?
