人得天地之气以成形。形者气之所犹以寓者也。气者形之所犹于充者也。二者固相为用
。而亦有轻重之差焉。形病气不病。虽羸瘦而无害。气病形不病虽肥壮而可忧。是形在所轻。而
气在所重也。人能安养天和。使五脏之气。均得其平。则何病之有。惟内伤七情外感六气。
而五脏之气病矣。故心气盛。则烦燥不宁。口干舌燥。肺气盛。则壅塞喘急。上膈烦满。肝
气盛则暴怒时发。两胁膨胀。脾气盛。则中脘痞塞。腹满饱闷。肾气盛。则膀胱满急。水道
不通。皆气之有余者也。心气虚。则精神恍惚。梦寐不宁。肺气虚。则呼吸短浅。皮毛洒淅
。肝气虚则筋脉不和。头空少睡。脾气虚则饥不欲飧。溏泄自利。肾气虚。则腰脑不能转侧
。大便与小便。前后牵引而微痛。此皆气之不足者也。善医者调其气而已有余者泻之。不足
者补之。又岂有虚虚实实之患乎。凡本经之虚实。或宜补而宜泻。然虚则补其母。实则泻其
子。又不可不知也。

Humans acquire the Qi of Heaven and Earth to form their physical body. The physical body is where Qi resides; Qi is what fills and energizes the physical body. The two indeed function mutually, yet there are differences in weight/importance. If the physical body is diseased but Qi is not, although emaciated, it is harmless. If Qi is diseased but the physical body appears healthy, although robust, it is worrisome. Thus, the physical body is considered lighter, while Qi is heavier/more critical. If humans can nurture Tian He (Natural Harmony), ensuring the Qi of the Five Zang Organs is balanced and even, what disease would there be? However, internal injury from Seven Emotions [Qi Qing] and external contraction of Six Qi [Liu Qi] cause the Qi of the Five Zang Organs to become diseased. Therefore, if Heart Qi is excessive, restlessness and irritability occur, along with dry mouth and tongue. If Lung Qi is excessive, congestion, wheezing, and urgency occur, with upper diaphragm vexation and fullness. If Liver Qi is excessive, sudden anger erupts, and both hypochondriac regions expand. If Spleen Qi is excessive, epigastric stuffiness occurs, with abdominal fullness and bloating. If Kidney Qi is excessive, bladder fullness and urgency occur, with obstruction of the water passages. These are all manifestations of Excess Qi. If Heart Qi is deficient, spirit becomes vague and sleep is restless. If Lung Qi is deficient, breathing is short and shallow, and skin/hair feels chilly. If Liver Qi is deficient, sinews and vessels are unharmonious, head feels empty, and sleep is scant. If Spleen Qi is deficient, hunger exists but appetite is lacking, with loose stools and spontaneous diarrhea. If Kidney Qi is deficient, waist and brain cannot turn easily, and urination/defecation involves pulling pain in the front and rear. These are all manifestations of Deficient Qi. Skilled physicians regulate Qi; for excess, they use draining methods; for deficiency, they use tonifying methods. How then could there be the disaster of "depleting the deficient and reinforcing the excess"? For deficiency or excess in the respective meridians, whether tonification or draining is appropriate, one must know that "tonify the mother when deficient, drain the child when excess."
