[Figure for the Year of Gui Mao]
Yangming Dryness Metal governs the Heaven (Si Tian), Shaoyin Ministerial Fire governs the Earth (Zai Quan), and the middle reveals a Minor Zheng Fire Movement. The year's Fire is insufficient, causing the Qi transformation to operate later than the natural timing. This is known as the "Fu Ming" (Hidden Brightness) pattern.
As stated in "Yue Shang":
Virtue and influence are universal and widespread; the Five Transformations (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) are balanced. Its Qi is high; its nature is swift; its function is like burning and scorching; its transformation is abundant and lush. Its administration is bright and shining; its climate is hot and humid. Its category is Fire; it corresponds to Summer; its grains are Wheat; its fruits are Apricots; its solid parts have networks; its insects are Feathered creatures; its domestic animals are Horses; its color is Red; its taste is Bitter; its material form is Pulse/Vessels; its musical note is Zhi; its number is Seven. In humans, it corresponds internally to the Heart; it opens into the Tongue; it nourishes the Blood. Diseases manifest as spasms and convulsions (Chi Zhong). This is what the annual movement governs.
The Qi of Heaven and Earth: Dryness transformation is above (governing Heaven); the left interstitial position undergoes Zang transformation, and the right interstitial position undergoes Dan transformation. Therefore, the Heaven Qi is urgent, and its administration is severe. Bitter transformation is below (governing Earth); the left interstitial position undergoes Rou (soft) transformation, and the right interstitial position undergoes Dong (moving) transformation. Therefore, Yang Qi is vigorous. Hair-covered creatures (Mao Chong) die; after the heat, there is sudden violence, and Shell-covered creatures (Jie Chong) suffer calamity. The year's movement is hot; the counteracting forces of Cold transformation and Rain transformation are the same. This is called the days of Evil Qi transformation. There are four days of Dryness transformation and two days of Heat transformation; these are called the days of Regular Qi transformation.
Before the midpoint of the year, the Heaven Qi is governed by Yangming. Yangming transforms through its Middle Qi. When the time arrives, if Dryness and Dampness are equal, Yangming achieves harmony.
After the midpoint of the year, the Earth Qi is governed by Shaoyin. Shaoyin has transformations of its Root and Mark. When the time arrives, if Cold and Heat are balanced, the Qi of Shaoyin is harmonious.
First Qi Period: From the beginning of Hai hour on the day of Great Cold in the Ren Yin year, to the beginning of You hour on the day of Spring Equinox in this year, totaling sixty days and eighty-seven-and-a-half ke. The Principal Position is Tai Jiao (Wood), and the Guest Qi is Shao Zheng (Fire)... [Text fragments: White/Cinnabar, Initial Qi, Smooth movement, Suitable treatment, Cold/Heat, Harm].
Fourth Qi Period: From noon (Wu Zheng) on the day of Major Heat to morning Chen hour (Chen Zheng) on the day of Autumn Equinox, totaling over sixty days. The Principal Position is Tai Gong (Earth), and the Guest Qi is Tai Yang (Water). Middle sees Fire... [Text fragments: Pain and Abscess, Snow day, Yang Sweet movement]...
