[Diagram of the Ding Si Year's Climate and Qi]
Jueyin Wind-Wood governs the Heaven (Si Tian), Shaoyang Minister-Fire resides in the Earth (Zai Quan). The Central Movement is Shaojiao Wood Movement. The Wood Qi of the year is insufficient, causing the climate transformation to operate later than the heavenly timing. Its meteorological manifestation is the same as that of regular Wood movement.
Yang energy expands, wind qi flows. The musical note corresponds to Jue (Ang). The generative number is eight. The physical characteristic is firmness at the center. Corresponding to the human body, it belongs to the Liver organ, opens into the eyes, and nourishes the sinews. The prone diseases are abdominal tension and limb fullness. This is the climatic transformation of the annual movement.
Soft transformation.
Star constellations are restricted.
In this year, the Yin aspect of the year becomes the Heavenly Qi, and the Yang aspect becomes the Earthly Qi. The Heavenly Qi is deficient, corresponding with the Wood movement. Furthermore, Wood and Fire share the same virtue, making their Qi unified; they do not rely on the source of transformation but merely assist the Wood movement.
Pungent flavor harmonizes.
Before the middle of the year, Heavenly Qi presides. The sky disseminates the administration of Jueyin Wind-Wood, and its command is wind.
After the middle of the year, Earthly Qi presides. The earth executes the command of Shaoyang Minister-Fire, and its transformation is fire. This is the normal pattern of Qi transformation.
The First Qi period begins from the beginning of the Si hour on the Day of Great Cold in the Bing Chen year, ending at the beginning of the Mao hour on the Spring Equinox day of this year, lasting sixty days and eighty-seven and a half ke. The Principal Position is Shaojiao Wood. [Text corruption/omission here regarding Guest Qi]. From the middle of the Zi hour on Great Heat day to the exact Xu hour on the Autumn Equinox day, lasting over sixty days. The Principal Position is Shaogong Earth. The Guest Qi is Shaoyin Minister-Fire. The Central reveals Wood movement. Humid heat struggles against each other in the upper left region. The people suffer from jaundice and edema. It is appropriate to regulate the Shaoyin Guest Qi: tonify with salty flavor, drain with sweet flavor, and astringe with sour flavor. The annual grain should be red (Dan), and the intercalary grain should be beans, so that heat will not become an evil pathogen.
The Fifth Qi period begins from the beginning of the Hai hour on the Autumn Equinox day, ending at the beginning of the You hour on the Minor Snow day, lasting over sixty days. The Principal Position is Taishang Metal. The Guest Qi is Taiyin Damp-Earth. The Central reveals Wood movement. Dryness and dampness alternate in superiority. Deep yin qi spreads. Cold qi reaches the body, and wind and rain occur. It is appropriate to regulate the Taiyin Guest Qi: tonify with sweet flavor, drain with bitter flavor, and relax with sweet flavor. The annual grain should be red (Dan), and the intercalary grain should be sesame, so that dampness will not become an evil pathogen.
The Final Qi period begins from the exact You hour on the Minor Snow day, ending at the exact Wei hour on the Great Cold day, lasting over sixty days. The Principal Position is Shaoyu Water. The Guest Qi is Shaoyang Minister-Fire. The Central reveals Wood movement. Wood generates Fire. Fearing the command of Fire, Yang Qi undergoes great transformation. Hibernating insects appear. Flowing water does not freeze. Earthly Qi erupts vigorously. Grass grows. People feel comfortable. However, warm febrile epidemics may occur. It is appropriate to regulate the Shaoyang Guest Qi: tonify with salty flavor, drain with sweet flavor, and [text missing] with salty flavor. The annual grain should be red (Dan), and the intercalary grain should be beans, so that fire will not become an evil pathogen.
This is the transformation of the Six Qi. The year is a Balanced Wood year. If evil qi invades, those who enforce the law (Zhong Zhi Fa) fall ill. People suffer from sudden acute diseases. Therefore, the classics state: "Those struck by the Enforcer of Law, their disease is rapid and dangerous."
