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.

黄帝曰：夫自古通天者，生之本，本於陰陽。天地之間，六合之内，其氣九州、九竅、五藏、十二節，皆通乎天氣。其生五，其氣三。數犯此者，則邪氣傷人，此壽命之本也。

The Yellow Emperor said: from of old, communicating with heaven is the root of life, and this root is itself rooted in yin and yang. Between heaven and earth, within the six directions, the qi of the nine regions, the nine orifices, the five viscera and the twelve joints all communicate with the qi of heaven. Its generating is five and its qi are three – the five phases and the three yin and three yang. To transgress this again and again is to let the evil qi wound the person; this is the root of the allotted span.

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.

Huang Di said: good. In some years people do not fall ill, and yet the qi of the viscera does not answer and is not used — why is that? Qi Bo said: the qi of heaven constrains it, and the qi has what it follows.
