Taiyin Shitu (Too Yin Damp Earth) governs the Heaven Qi, and Taiyang Hanshui (Too Yang Cold Water) resides in the Earth. The central movement is Shaozheng Huoyun (Lesser Zhi Fire Movement). The year's Fire is insufficient, so the Qi transformation and operation lag behind the natural timing. Dampness transforms into Heaven Qi. Clear Qi reaches its extreme.

For grains corresponding to Taijue (Greater Jue Wood), the Cold transformation and Rain transformation of excess and reaction are the same; this represents the degree of pathogenic Qi transformation. The number for Rain transformation is five, for Fire transformation is two, and for Cold transformation is six; these are the numbers of correct transformation.

Yin Qi condenses above, and Cold Qi accumulates below. When Cold Water overcomes Fire, hail occurs. The Sun's warmth fails to function properly, and killing (autumnal/winter) Qi begins to prevail. Winged insects remain quiet, while scaled insects breed; this is what suits the year's objects. Winged insects do not mature, and heat toxins do not generate; this is restricted by Earth Qi. Therefore, in years of excess, one should dwell in high places; in years of insufficiency, in low places. In years of excess, disease onset is late; in years of insufficiency, it is early. This is the benefit of Earth and the transformation of Qi; people's physiological Qi also follows this. Diseases in such a year are caused by Cold-Damp, manifesting as abdominal fullness, body swelling, epigastric distension with counterflow, cold jue with spasms and stiffness. This is because Sui Wet Earth is above and Cold Water is below; Earth can control Water, but Heaven Qi is abundant while Earth Qi is deficient. One should take the source of transformation to level Earth Qi, augment the Sui Qi, and prevent pathogenic Qi from overcoming healthy Qi. Eat black-colored (Xuan) grains to preserve true Qi, and eat grains of the inter-qi to protect essence. For this year, it is suitable to use Bitter flavors to dry dampness and Warm methods to dispel cold. For severe cases, use Diaphoresis (Sweating) or Purging methods. If neither diaphoresis nor purging is used, dampness will overflow externally, causing muscle ulceration and skin cracking, leading to the mixing of water and blood. One must assist Yang Fire to resist severe cold. Since the movement differs from simple cold-damp, its transformation is suitable for sparing use of Dry-Hot substances. Thus it is said: its transformation above is Bitter-Warm, middle is Salty-Warm, and below is Sweet-Hot. This is the suitability of medicine and food.

Before the midpoint of the year, Taiyin governs. When Dampness prevails excessively, deep Yin Qi spreads, and rain changes cause withering. People suffer from edema, bone pain, and Yin Bi (Cold Bi syndrome affecting the yin regions). Yin Bi refers to... [text missing/garbled].

After the midpoint of the year, Taiyang governs. When Cold prevails internally, the climate becomes condensed, solemn, and chilling. People suffer from lower abdomen pulling to the testicles, radiating to the waist and spine with upward rushing, heart pain, and bleeding. Throat... [text missing]. The succession... [text garbled]. Its onset involves pain, and the disease manifests as confusion, sorrow, and forgetfulness. Its transformation combines with the qi it cannot overcome. Summer has bright and luminous transformations, thus winter has stern and frosty regulations.

First Qi period: From Hai hour on Great Cold day of Renwu year to You hour on Spring Equinox day of this year, totaling 60 days and 87.5 ke. The main position is Taijue Wood. Guest Qi is gentle and comfortable. Wind-Damp struggle against each other, and rain comes late. People suffer from blood effusion, tendon meridian stiffness, joint disadvantage, heavy body, and tendon flaccidity. It is suitable to regulate the Guest Qi of Jueyin. Supplement with Salty, drain with Sweet, and astringe with Sour. Year grain should be Black (Xuan); inter-grain should be Beans. Although there is Heat transformation, it cannot become pathogenic.

Third Qi period: From Shen hour on Grain Full day to Wu hour on Great Heat day, totaling over 60 days. Main position is Shaozheng Fire. Guest Qi is Taiyin Earth. Central Fire Movement matches. Year Fire is in position. Dampness stagnates it. Heaven policy spreads, Dampness descends, Earth Qi rises. Rain falls on time, Cold follows. Contracting Cold-Damp leads to diseases of heavy body, edema, chest and abdominal fullness. Treat Taiyin Guest Qi. Supplement with Sweet, drain with Bitter, and relax with Sweet. Year grain should be Black (Xuan); inter-grain should be Hemp. Although there is Damp pathogen, it causes no harm.

Fourth Qi period: From Wu hour on Great Heat day to Chen hour on Autumn Equinox day, totaling over 60 days. Main position is Taigong Earth. Guest Qi is Shaoyang Fire. Central Fire Movement matches. Qi and Movement are identical. Fearful Fire arrives, humid steaming transforms. Earth Qi rises, Heaven Qi is blocked. Cold wind blows morning and evening. Steaming heat struggles, grasses and trees are shrouded in smoke. Dampness does not flow, so White Dew Yin Qi spreads, forming Autumn decree. People suffer from acupore heat, sudden blood effusion, malaria, heart and abdominal fullness-heat, abdominal distension, and severely, edema. Treat Shaoyang Guest Qi. Supplement with Salty, drain with Sweet, and... [verb missing]. Year grain should be Black (Xuan); inter-grain should be Beans. Although there is Fire pathogen, it causes no harm. In this period, do not violate the heat of the governing Qi.

Fifth Qi period: From Si hour on Autumn Equinox day to Mao hour on Minor Snow day, totaling over 60 days. Main position is Shaoshang Metal. Guest Qi is Yangming Metal. Central Fire Movement matches. Qi and Movement are identical. Stern decree has acted. Cold dew descends, frost falls early. Grasses and trees yellow and fall. Cold air reaches the body. Gentlemen should be careful and covered. People suffer from skin and acupore issues. Regulate Yangming Guest Qi. Supplement with Sour, drain with Pungent, and drain with Bitter. Year grain should be Black (Xuan); inter-grain should be Millet (Shu). Although there is Dry transformation, it cannot become pathogenic.

Final Qi period: From Mao hour on Minor Snow day to Chou hour on Great Cold day, totaling over 60 days. Main position is Taiyu Water. Guest Qi is Taiyang Water. Central Fire Movement matches. Water is in position and can overcome Fire. Cold greatly rises, Dampness greatly transforms. Frost accumulates, Yin condenses. Water forms hard ice. Sunlight fails to function. Contracting Cold leads to diseases of joint stiffness, back pain [missing character], and alternating cold and heat persisting at the Qi intersection. Regulate Taiyang Guest Qi. Supplement with Bitter, drain with Salty, firm with Bitter, and moisten with Pungent. Year grain should be Black (Xuan); inter-grain should be Foxtail Millet (Ji). Although there is Cold transformation, it cannot become pathogenic.

These are the Six Jie Qi periods. Transformations at the Qi intersection: if Heaven Qi prevails, there is a reaction of Jueyin; if Earth Qi prevails, there is a reaction of Taiyin. Treat each according to their respective excess-reaction laws.
