允乎哉 尔雅释诂。允、信也。疏、谓诚实不欺也。
All versions lack the character "Pian" (Chapter). Zhang Yin'an states: This refers to the disorder of Qi and Blood at a specific moment, not implying that an old disease has a specific cause. Qi originates from the Five Elements, hence it is called "Five Disorders".
What is meant by "Mutual Compliance"? In the *Jia Yi Jing* (Systematic Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion), two characters "Er Zhi" (and govern) follow the character "Shun" (compliance/obedience).
Clear Qi in Yin (end) Da Yun: Men, pronounced as "men". Clear Qi should ascend and ought to be in Yang; instead, it is in Yin. Turbid Qi should descend and ought to be in Yin; instead, it is in Yang. Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi) belongs to Yin, its nature is refined and dedicated, originally complying with Zong Qi (Gathering Qi) to circulate within the meridians. Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) belongs to Yang, its nature is fierce, slippery, and agile, suitable for circulating between the muscle tissues. Now, during the day it does not necessarily circulate in Yang meridians, and at night it does not necessarily circulate in Yin meridians. Its Qi moves in reverse, thus Clear and Turbid Qi interfere with each other, causing chaos in the chest. This is called "Da Men" (Great Oppression/Stifling). Jian An: "Man" is also written as "Man". The *Lüshi Chunqiu* states: "When the stomach is full, the middle body feels oppressed," which is the same meaning.
Receive Hand: In the *Jia Yi Jing*, the character "Jie" (receive/connect) is written as "An" (press).
There is a Way (end) Treasure of the Body: Da Yun: Dao (Way) refers to the pathway. When pathogenic factors arrive, there must be a way they come; thus, when they depart, there must be a way they leave. Carefully knowing this way and skillfully removing it is called the treasure of nourishing the body. Although these four sentences were issued for treating diseases with acupuncture, any physician who can thoroughly study them will surely seek the root and branch when treating diseases, seek the meridians when prescribing herbs, examine true and false pathogens carefully, and apply tonification and sedation without recklessness. This is indeed the essential method for physicians. Zhang Yin'an says: Dao speaks of the path taken. The *Zhi* book says: "Those who come via a Way," referring to the interfering chaotic Qi. Since it comes via a way, it must leave via a way. Therefore, carefully knowing its path allows one to differentiate and regulate Yin, Yang, Clear, and Turbid, becoming the treasure of nourishing the body.
Shu Points of Heart Shaoyin and Heart Master: Da Yun: The Shu point of the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian is Shenmen (Spirit Gate); the Shu point of the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian is Daling (Great Palace). (Zhang Zhicong does not mention Shu points).
Xing Point of Hand Taiyin: Da Yun: The Xing point of the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian is Yuji (Fish Border).
Shu Point of Foot Shaoyin: Da Yun: The Shu point of the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian is Taixi (Great Stream). Zhang Yin'an says: Taking the Kidney meridian when the Qi is in the Lung is because the Shaoyin meridian passes through the Kidney and connects to the Lung.
Take from Foot Taiyin (end) Zusanli: Da Yun: The Shu point of the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian is Taibai (Great White); the Shu point of the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian is Xangu (Sun Valley). If after needling the pathogenic Qi does not descend, one should take Zusanli (Leg Three Li) of the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian.
Take from Foot Zhu (end) Foot Taiyang Xing and Shu: Zhang Yin'an says: Tianzhu (Heavenly Pillar) and Dazhu (Great Bone) are both acupoints of the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian. "Bu Zhi" (not knowing) and "Bu Ying" (not responding) refer to lack of sensation or reaction. One should then take its Xing and Shu points, namely Tonggu (Passing Valley) and Shugu (Bone Bundle). Zhang Zhicong says: In ancient times, "He" (harmony) was understood as "Zhi" (knowing).
Qi in Arms and Feet (end) Xing and Shu: Zhang Yin'an says: For collaterals in the arms and feet containing blood stasis, the blood must first be removed by pricking. If in the hand, take hand points; if in the foot, take foot points. The Xing and Shu points of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian are Erjian (Second Gap) and Sanjian (Third Gap). The Xing and Shu points of the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian are Yemen (Liquid Gate) and Zhongzhu (Middle Well). The Xing and Shu points of the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian are Neiting (Inner Court) and Xangu (Sun Valley). The Xing and Shu points of the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian are Xiaxi (Understream) and Linqi (Approaching Flow).
Slow Entry, Slow Exit (end) Mutual Reversal: Zhang Yin'an says: In all needle tonification and sedation, harmony and slowness are prized. Thus, one should enter slowly and exit slowly, aiming only to guide Qi back to normality. Tonification guides healthy Qi, while sedation guides pathogenic Qi; the goal is always to preserve Essence and Qi. Hence it is said: "Tonification and sedation have no form, called 'Same Essence'." This means the methods in this chapter are not set for excess or deficiency, but specifically for chaotic Qi reversing each other, requiring such guiding treatment. This is mentioned again because questions about tonification and sedation often arise, to clarify their meaning.
Is it truly so? The *Erya · Shi Gu* states: "Yun" means trust/certainty. "Shu" means honest and deceit-free.
