凡此少阳司天之政，气化营运先天。（此总结寅申年少阳司天六气之化也。先天义见前。）天气正，地气扰，（少阳火
气司天，阳得其位，故天气正。厥阴木气在泉，风动于下，故地气扰。）风乃暴举，木偃沙飞，炎火乃流。（此风木在泉、
相火司天之化。）阴行阳化，雨乃时应。（太阴湿土，主二之气，与少阳并行于岁半之前，故阴行阳化，雨乃时应。）火木

本乎一气，故言同；彼以上下相制，各行其政，故云合也。）其谷丹苍。（丹应司天，苍应在泉。）其政严，其令扰，故风
热参布，云物沸腾，太阴横流，寒乃时至，凉雨并起。（此皆木火之化，火盛则寒水来复，故寒至雨起。）民病寒中，外
发疮疡，内为泄满，（火盛于外，故民病寒中。外热，故为疮疡。内寒，故为泄满。）故圣人遇之，和而不争。（圣人调摄

三之气，天政布，炎暑至，少阳临上，雨乃涯；（天政布，司天布化也。客主之气，皆属少阳，相火专令，故炎暑至，
雨乃涯。涯言其际，凡雨之起止，皆得云也。）民病热中，聋瞑血溢，脓疮咳呕，鼽衄渴嚏欠，喉痹目赤，善暴死。（客
主之火交炽，故为热病如此。）
四之气，凉乃至，炎暑间化，白露降，民气和平；（燥金之客，加于湿土之主，故凉气至而炎暑间化。间者，时作时

而风木动之，风为阳，故其为病如此。）
抑其运气，赞所不胜，（抑其太过，助其不及也。）必折其郁气，先取化源，（本年相火司天则金郁，风木在泉则土郁。
郁气、化源，详义见前。又如《本病篇》曰∶寅申之年，阳明升天，主窒天英，胜之不前。少阴降地，主窒地玄，胜之
不入。故刺法论于金欲升而天英窒抑之，当刺手太阴之经。火欲降而地玄窒抑之，当刺足少阴之所出，足太阳之所入，
王氏曰∶化源，年之前十二月 ，迎而取之。《新校正》云∶详王注资取化源，俱注云取，其意有四等∶太阳司天取九月，
阳明司天取六月，是二者先取在天之气也；少阳司天取年前十二月 ，太阴司天取九月，是二者乃先时取在地之气也。少
阴司天取年前十二月，厥阴司天取四月，义不可解。按《玄珠》之说则不然，太阳阳明之月，与王注合，少阳少阴俱取
三月，太阴取五月，厥阴取年前十二月。《玄珠》之义可解，王注之月疑有误也。）暴过不生，苛疾不起。（能行上法，其
气自和，故无暴过苛疾之患。《新校正》云∶详此不言食岁谷间谷者，盖此岁天地气正，上下通和，故不言也。）故岁宜
咸宜辛宜酸，渗之泄之，渍之发之，（以上十年，相火司天，风木在泉。咸从水化，能胜火也。辛从金化，能胜木也。酸
从木化，顺木火之性也。渗之泄之，所以去二便之实；渍之发之，所以去腠理之邪也。）观气寒温，以调其过，同风热者
多寒化，异风热者少寒化。（虽岁气宜用之治如上文，然必当观寒温之盛衰，以调其有过者也。故此十年之中，其大运有

用寒化之品以治之，如太宫太商太羽岁是也。）用热远热，用温远温，用寒远寒，用凉远凉，食宜同法，此其道也。有假

Wu Yin and Wu Shen years (Both are "Tian Fu" [Heavenly Symbols]. The *Xin Zheng Xiao* states: A detailed examination reveals slight differences between the Wu Shen year and the Wu Yin year. Shen belongs to Metal, assisting the Lung. The Lung is subjected to Fire's punishment, so its Qi is slightly substantial, and the people's diseases will be halved.)
The upper climate is Shaoyang Ministerial Fire ruling Heaven; the central movement is Tai Zheng [Excessive] Fire transport; the lower climate is Jueyin Wind Wood ruling Earth. Its main transport is Shu [Heat], and its transformation manifests as warmth, noise, oppression, and mugginess. (*Xuān xiāo* refers to the image of intense fire. This is the normal transformation of Tai Zheng Fire in Wu years. *Wu Chang Zheng Da Lun* states: Transformation becomes virtue, noise becomes heat.) Its variations manifest as fierce inflammation and boiling agitation (the variation of Tai Zheng Fire). Its diseases include upper heat stagnation, blood hemorrhage, bloody stool, and heart pain (Fire pathologies internally correspond to the Heart). The Fire transformation number is two (because the ruling Heaven Qi and the transport are identical). The Wind transformation number is three (ruling Earth). These are the degrees of normal transformation. Therapeutically, the upper part should use Salty-Cold substances, the middle part Sweet-Neutral substances, and the lower part Pungent-Cool substances; this is appropriate for medicines and foods. (Using Sweet-Neutral in the middle is because Tai Zheng Fire should be drained with Sweet flavor. The principles for the upper and lower parts are the same as above.)
The six stages of guest Qi are: Tai Zheng, Shao Gong, Tai Shang, Shao Yu (end), Shao Jue (beginning).
Jia Yin and Jia Shen years
The upper climate is Shaoyang Ministerial Fire ruling Heaven; the central movement is Tai Gong [Excessive] Earth transport; the lower climate is Jueyin Wind Wood ruling Earth. Its main transport is Yin Yu [Rainy Humidity], and its transformation manifests as softness, moisture, heaviness, and dampness (the normal transformation of Tai Gong Earth in Jia years). Its variations manifest as shocking tremors, drifting, and sudden storms (the variation of Tai Gong Earth). Its diseases include heavy body, edema, fullness, and phlegm-fluid retention (all diseases caused by excessive dampness of Tai Gong). The Fire transformation number is two (ruling Heaven). The Rain transformation number is five (central transport). The Wind transformation number is eight (ruling Earth). These are the degrees of normal transformation. Therapeutically, the upper part should use Salty-Cold substances, the middle part Salty-Neutral substances, and the lower part Pungent-Cool substances; this is appropriate for medicines and foods. (Using Salty-Neutral in the middle uses Salty flavor to soften hardness and promote diuresis to treat excessive Earth. The principles for the upper and lower parts are the same as above.)
The six stages of guest Qi are: Tai Gong, Shao Shang, Tai Yu (end), Tai Jue (beginning), Shao Zheng.
Geng Yin and Geng Shen years
The upper climate is Shaoyang Ministerial Fire ruling Heaven; the central movement is Tai Shang [Excessive] Metal transport; the lower climate is Jueyin Wind Wood ruling Earth. It corresponds to Zheng Shang [Normal] Metal. (This year's Metal transport is excessive, but it is controlled by the Ministerial Fire ruling Heaven, so Metal achieves balance. This is called the "Jian Cheng Ji" [Firm Completion Era], where the upper Zheng Fire is equivalent to Normal Metal.) Its main transport is Liang [Coolness], and its transformation manifests as mist, dew, clarity, and biting cold (the normal transformation of Tai Shang Metal in Geng years. *Wu Chang Zheng Da Lun* states: Its virtue is mist and dew, rustling and desolate). Its variations manifest as solemn killing and withering (the variation of Tai Shang Metal). Its diseases involve the shoulders, back, and chest (Metal evil invading the Lung). The Fire transformation number is seven (ruling Heaven). The Clear/Cool transformation number is nine (central transport). The Wind transformation number is three (ruling Earth). These are the degrees of normal transformation. Therapeutically, the upper part should use Salty-Cold substances, the middle part Pungent-Warm substances, and the lower part Pungent-Cool substances; this is appropriate for medicines and foods. (Since the central transport corresponds to Normal Metal, Pungent-Warm substances are suitable. The principles for the upper and lower parts are the same as above.)
The six stages of guest Qi are: Tai Shang, Shao Yu (end), Shao Jue (beginning), Tai Zheng, Shao Gong.
Bing Yin and Bing Shen years (The *Xin Zheng Xiao* states: A detailed examination of the Bing Shen year shows that Shen Metal generates Water, making the Water transformation command stronger, so the disease caused by the ruling Heaven Ministerial Fire should be halved.)
The upper climate is Shaoyang Ministerial Fire ruling Heaven; the central movement is Tai Yu [Excessive] Water transport; the lower climate is Jueyin Wind Wood ruling Earth. Its main transport is Han Su [Cold Severity], and its transformation manifests as condensation, bleakness, and biting cold (the normal transformation of Tai Yu Water in Bing years. *Wu Chang Zheng Da Lun* states: Its virtue is condensed bleakness and cold air). Its variations manifest as ice, snow, frost, and hail (the variation of Tai Yu Water. These two sections are similar to the text for Bing Chen and Bing Xu years; however, those years have Cold Water ruling Heaven, while this year has Ministerial Fire ruling Heaven, implying differences in severity). Its diseases include cold-type edema (disease caused by excessive cold of Tai Yu). The Fire transformation number is two (ruling Heaven). The Cold transformation number is six (central transport). The Wind transformation number is three (ruling Earth). This is called the days of normal transformation. Therapeutically, the upper part should use Salty-Cold substances, the middle part Salty-Warm substances, and the lower part Pungent-Warm substances; this is called appropriate for medicines and foods. (Using Salty-Warm in the middle: Salty corresponds to Water transformation, and Warm treats Cold. Using Pungent-Warm below is due to the ruling Earth Wood Qi combined with the Cold transport Qi. *Xuan Zhu* states: Use Pungent-Cool below.)
The six stages of guest Qi are: Tai Yu (end), Tai Jue (beginning), Shao Zheng, Tai Gong, Shao Shang.
In all these cases where Shaoyang rules Heaven, the Qi transformation and operation precede the natural timing (This summarizes the six Qi transformations of Shaoyang ruling Heaven in Yin and Shen years. The meaning of "preceding heaven" is seen earlier). The Heavenly Qi is upright, but the Earthly Qi is disturbed (Shaoyang Fire rules Heaven, Yang obtains its position, so Heavenly Qi is upright. Jueyin Wood rules Earth, Wind moves below, so Earthly Qi is disturbed). Wind rises violently, trees bend, and sand flies; flames and fires flow (This is the transformation of Wind/Wood ruling Earth and Ministerial Fire ruling Heaven). Yin moves within Yang's transformation, and rain falls at the proper time (Taiyin Wet Earth governs the second Qi, running parallel with Shaoyang before mid-year, so Yin moves within Yang's transformation, and rain falls on time). Fire and Wood share virtue, corresponding to Yinghuo [Mars] and Suixing [Jupiter] in the sky (Fire and Wood share the same Qi, so these two stars should shine brightly. Note: Among the six Qi ruling Heaven, only Shaoyang and Jueyin speak of "sharing virtue," while others speak of "combining virtue." This is because the former involves mutual generation from one source, hence "sharing"; the latter involves mutual restriction, each conducting its own administration, hence "combining"). The corresponding grains are Red and Green/Blue (Red corresponds to ruling Heaven, Green/Blue to ruling Earth). The administration is strict, and the commands are chaotic, so wind and heat are distributed together, clouds and things boil, Taiyin湿气 flows horizontally, cold arrives on time, and cool rains rise together (These are all transformations of Wood and Fire. When Fire is excessive, Cold Water retaliates, so cold arrives and rain rises). People suffer from internal cold, external sores and ulcers, internal diarrhea and fullness (Fire is excessive externally, so people suffer from internal cold. External heat causes sores. Internal cold causes diarrhea and fullness). Therefore, sages handle it by harmonizing without contending (Sages regulate moderately, ensuring harmony between water and fire, avoiding contention). During periods of recurrence, people suffer from cold-heat malaria, diarrhea, deafness, blindness, vomiting, upper congestion/swelling, and color changes (When heat is excessive and cold retaliates, water and fire contend, causing various diseases. Fu [pronounced fo] means heart depression/discomfort).
First Qi: Earthly Qi migrates, wind prevails causing shaking, cold departs, climate becomes very warm, grass and trees bloom early, cold comes but does not kill (Jun Fire operates in the first Qi, combined with Ministerial Fire ruling Heaven, so the climate is very warm. Migration of Earthly Qi, see earlier). Warm diseases arise; their symptoms include Qi stagnation in the upper body, blood hemorrhage, red eyes, cough with reversed Qi, headache, uterine bleeding, hypochondriac fullness, and sores in the skin and pores (Jun and Ministerial Fire combine their Qi, thus causing such diseases).
Second Qi: Fire is conversely depressed, white dust rises everywhere, clouds move toward the rain house, wind cannot overcome dampness, rain falls, and people recover (Taiyin Wet Earth operates, so the host Jun Fire is conversely depressed, leading to dust rising, dampness prevailing, and rain falling. However, host and guest generate each other, so people recover). Their diseases include heat stagnation in the upper body, cough with reversed Qi and vomiting, sores appearing in the middle, chest and throat discomfort, headache, fever, confusion, and suppurative sores (All are diseases transformed by damp-heat. Kui [pronounced gui] means mental confusion).
Third Qi: Heavenly administration spreads, hot summer heat arrives, Shaoyang approaches the upper position, and rain ceases (Heavenly administration spreading refers to the ruling Heaven disseminating transformation. Both guest and host Qi belong to Shaoyang, Ministerial Fire holds exclusive command, so hot summer heat arrives, and rain ceases. Ya implies boundaries; regarding the start and end of rain, this can be said). People suffer from heat in the middle, deafness, blindness, blood hemorrhage, suppurative sores, cough, vomiting, nasal congestion, epistaxis, thirst, sneezing, yawning, throat obstruction, red eyes, and sudden death (Guest and host Fire intertwine and blaze, causing such heat diseases).
Fourth Qi: Coolness finally arrives, hot summer heat undergoes intermittent transformation, white dew descends, and people's Qi becomes peaceful (Dry Metal guest adds to Damp Earth host, so coolness arrives and hot summer heat transforms intermittently. Intermittent means occurring and stopping at times. Earth and Metal generate each other, so people's Qi becomes peaceful). Their diseases include fullness and heavy body (Dryness prevailing causes Lung self-disease, hence chest fullness. Dampness prevailing causes Spleen self-disease, hence heavy body).
Fifth Qi: Yang departs, cold arrives, rain descends, and the Qi gates close (Cold Water guest adds to Dry Metal host; Water is cold and Metal contracts, so the climate is thus. Qi gates refer to the pores of the skin and flesh, which vent Ying and Wei Qi, hence called Qi gates. Wang Shi's commentary says: They are Xuanfu). Hard wood withers early, people avoid cold evils, and gentlemen are meticulous (Metal is solemn and Water is cold; one should fear and avoid them).
Sixth Qi: Earthly Qi is correct, wind arrives, all things grow again, and fog/mist moves (Jueyin rules Earth, Wind Wood operates; the host Qi is generated by Cold Water, so Earth obtains its correctness, wind arrives, things grow, and mist moves. , Meng, Meng, Mao have three pronunciations; note: When Heavenly Qi descends and Earthly Qi does not respond, it is called .) Their diseases include inability to control the closing gates (incontinence), heart pain, and cough due to Yang Qi failing to store (The season should be for storage, but Wind Wood stirs it; Wind is Yang, thus causing such diseases).
Suppress its transport Qi, assist what it cannot overcome (Suppress what is excessive, aid what is deficient). One must break its stagnant Qi and first take the source of transformation (This year, Ministerial Fire ruling Heaven causes Metal stagnation, and Wind Wood ruling Earth causes Earth stagnation. Stagnant Qi and Source of Transformation, see detailed meanings earlier. Also, *Ben Bing Pian* states: In Yin and Shen years, Yangming ascends to Heaven but is blocked by Tianying, preventing advancement. Shaoyin descends to Earth but is blocked by Dixuan, preventing entry. Thus, *Cifa Lun* states: If Metal desires to ascend but is suppressed by Tianying, puncture the Jing-River point of Hand Taiyin. If Fire desires to descend but is blocked by Dixuan, puncture the exit of Foot Shaoyin and the entrance of Foot Taiyang. Wang Shi says: Source of Transformation refers to the twelfth month of the previous year, taking it by迎 (welcoming/reversing). *Xin Zheng Xiao* states: Examining Wang Shi's notes on sourcing the transformation, all note "taking," with four levels: Sunyang ruling Heaven takes September, Yangming ruling Heaven takes June; these two take Heavenly Qi first. Shaoyang ruling Heaven takes the twelfth month of the previous year, Taiyin ruling Heaven takes September; these two take Earthly Qi beforehand. Shaoyin ruling Heaven takes the twelfth month of the previous year, Jueyin ruling Heaven takes April; the meaning is inexplicable. According to *Xuan Zhu*, it is different: The months for Sunyang and Yangming match Wang Shi's notes; Shaoyang and Shaoyin both take March, Taiyin takes May, Jueyin takes the twelfth month of the previous year. *Xuan Zhu*'s meaning is explicable, and Wang Shi's months may be erroneous). Violent illnesses will not arise, and severe diseases will not occur (If the above methods are practiced, the Qi will naturally harmonize, thus avoiding violent and severe diseases. *Xin Zheng Xiao* states: Examining why food of the Year Grain and Interim Grain is not mentioned here, it is likely because the Heaven and Earth Qi are upright and harmonious in this year, hence not mentioned). Therefore, the year should use Salty, Pungent, and Sour flavors; drain it, purge it, soak it, and induce sweating (For the past ten years, Ministerial Fire ruled Heaven and Wind Wood ruled Earth. Salty follows Water transformation, overcoming Fire. Pungent follows Metal transformation, overcoming Wood. Sour follows Wood transformation, following the nature of Wood and Fire. Draining and purging removes excess from the two bowels; soaking and inducing sweat removes pathogens from the skin and pores). Observe the Qi's cold or warmth to adjust excesses; if aligned with Wind-Heat, use more Cold transformations; if misaligned with Wind-Heat, use fewer Cold transformations (Although the treatment for the year's Qi is as described above, one must observe the prosperity or decline of cold and warmth to adjust any excesses. Thus, within these ten years, if the Great Transport aligns with the ruling Earth's Wind or ruling Heaven's Heat, one should use more Cold-transforming substances to treat it, e.g., Tai Jue and Tai Zheng years. If it differs from the ruling Earth's Wind or ruling Heaven's Heat, one should use fewer Cold-transforming substances, e.g., Tai Gong, Tai Shang, and Tai Yu years). When using Hot remedies, avoid Hot seasons; when using Warm remedies, avoid Warm seasons; when using Cold remedies, avoid Cold seasons; when using Cool remedies, avoid Cool seasons; dietary appropriateness follows the same method. This is the principle. If there is a false appearance, reverse it; violating this leads to disease (Detailed meaning seen earlier in Sunyang and Yangming administrations).
The Emperor said: Excellent. How is Taiyin's administration? Qibo said: It is the Chou and Wei years.
Ding Chou and Ding Wei years
Upper: Taiyin Earth ruling Heaven (Ruling Heaven). Middle: Shao Jue Wood transport deficient (Central Transport). Lower: Taiyang Water ruling Earth (Ruling Earth). It corresponds to Zheng Gong [Normal] Earth. (This year's Wood transport is deficient, so Earth obtains its administration, called the "Wei He Ji" [Lax Era], where the upper Gong Earth is equivalent to Normal Earth). Its main transport is Wind, Clearing, and Heat (Wind is the Qi of Shao Jue transport; Clearing is the Qi that overcomes Wind; Heat is the Qi that restores Clearing). Clearing and Heat transformations' victory and restoration are the same; this is the degree of evil transformation (Detailed meaning seen earlier in Yangming administration). Disaster occurs in the Third Palace (Three is the East Zhen Palace. Water transport is deficient, so disaster reaches it). Rain transformation number is five (Ruling Heaven). Wind transformation number is three (Central Transport). Cold transformation number is one (Ruling Earth). These are the degrees of normal transformation. Therapeutically, the upper part should use Bitter-Warm substances, the middle part Pungent-Warm substances, and the lower part Sweet-Hot substances; this is appropriate for medicines and foods. (Bitter-Warm follows Fire transformation, treating ruling Heaven's dampness. Pungent follows Metal transformation, treating central transport's Wind/Wood. Since Shao Jue is deficient, it should follow Warm. Sweet-Hot follows Earth/Fire transformation, treating ruling Earth's Cold Water. *Xuan Zhu* states: Upper use Acid-Neutral, Lower use Sweet-Warm).
The six stages of guest Qi are: Shao Jue (start/normal), Tai Zheng, Shao Gong, Tai Shang, Shao Yu (end).
Gui Chou and Gui Wei years
Upper: Taiyin Earth ruling Heaven. Middle: Shao Zheng Fire transport deficient. Lower: Taiyang Water ruling Earth. Its main transport is Heat, Cold, and Rain (Heat is the Qi of Shao Zheng transport; Cold is the Qi that overcomes Heat; Rain is the Qi that restores Cold). Cold and Rain transformations' victory and restoration are the same; this is the degree of evil transformation. Disaster occurs in the Ninth Palace (Nine is the South Li Palace. Fire transport is deficient, so disaster reaches it). Rain transformation number is five (Ruling Heaven). Fire transformation number is two (Central Transport). Cold transformation number is one (Ruling Earth). These are the degrees of normal transformation. Therapeutically, the upper part should use Bitter-Warm substances, the middle part Salty-Warm substances, and the lower part Sweet-Hot substances; this is appropriate for medicines and foods. (Salty-Warm in the middle: Salty follows Water transformation, used to treat Fire. Since Shao Zheng is deficient, it should follow Warm. Upper and lower are the same as before. *Xuan Zhu* states: Upper use Acid-Harmonious, Lower use Sweet-Warm).
The six stages of guest Qi are: Shao Zheng, Tai Gong, Shao Shang, Tai Yu (end), Tai Jue (beginning).
Ji Chou and Ji Wei years (Both are "Tai Yi Tian Fu" [Great One Heavenly Symbol]).
Upper: Taiyin Earth ruling Heaven. Middle: Shao Gong Earth transport deficient. Lower: Taiyang Water ruling Earth. It corresponds to Zheng Gong [Normal] Earth. (This year's Earth transport is deficient, assisted by the ruling Heaven's Damp Earth, called the "Bei Jian Ji" [Low Supervision Era], where the upper Gong Earth is equivalent to Normal Earth). Its main transport is Rain, Wind, and Clearing (Rain is the Qi of Earth transport; Wind is the Qi that overcomes Rain; Clearing is the Qi that restores Wind). Wind and Clearing transformations' victory and restoration are the same; this is the degree of evil transformation. Disaster occurs in the Fifth Palace (Five is the Central Palace. Earth transport is deficient, so disaster reaches it). Rain transformation number is five (Ruling Heaven and Central Transport are identical). Cold transformation number is one (Ruling Earth). These are the degrees of normal transformation. Therapeutically, the upper part should use Bitter-Hot substances, the middle part Sweet-Neutral substances, and the lower part Sweet-Hot substances; this is appropriate for medicines and foods. (This year, Earth and Water Yin are excessive, so the upper part should use Bitter-Hot, differing slightly from before. Central transport Earth Qi is insufficient, so Sweet-Neutral is suitable. *Xuan Zhu* states: Upper use Sweet-Neutral).
The six stages of guest Qi are: Shao Gong, Tai Shang, Shao Yu (end), Shao Jue (beginning), Tai Zheng.
Yi Chou and Yi Wei years
Upper: Taiyin Earth ruling Heaven. Middle: Shao Shang Metal transport deficient. Lower: Taiyang Water ruling Earth. Its main transport is Cool, Heat, and Cold (Cool is the Qi of Shao Shang transport; Heat is the Qi that overcomes Cool; Cold is the Qi that restores Heat). Heat and Cold transformations' victory and restoration are the same; this is called the days of evil transformation. Disaster occurs in the Seventh Palace (Seven is the West Dui Palace. Metal transport is deficient, so disaster reaches it). Damp transformation number is five (Ruling Heaven). Clear/Cool transformation number is four (Central Transport). Cold transformation number is six (Ruling Earth). This is called the days of normal transformation. Therapeutically, the upper part should use Bitter-Hot substances, the middle part Acid-Neutral substances, and the lower part Sweet-Hot substances; this is called appropriate for medicines and foods. (Acid-Neutral in the middle: For the Master of Metal's position, tonification is with Acid, treating the deficiency of Shao Shang. Upper and lower are the same as before. *Xuan Zhu* states: Upper use Acid-Neutral, Lower use Sweet-Warm).
The six stages of guest Qi are: Shao Shang, Tai Yu (end), Tai Jue (beginning), Shao Zheng, Tai Gong.
Xin Chou and Xin Wei years (Both are "Tong Sui Hui" [Same Year Assembly]).
Upper: Taiyin Earth ruling Heaven. Middle: Shao Yu Water transport deficient. Lower: Taiyang Water ruling Earth. It corresponds to Zheng Gong [Normal] Earth. (Xin year Water transport is deficient, and Wet Earth ruling Heaven overcomes it, called the "He Liu Ji" [Dried Stream Era], where the upper Gong Earth is equivalent to Normal Earth). Its main transport is Cold, Rain, and Wind (Cold is the Qi of Shao Yu transport; Rain is the Qi that overcomes Cold; Wind is the Qi that restores Rain). Rain and Wind transformations' victory and restoration are the same; this is called the days of evil transformation. Disaster occurs in the First Palace (One is the North Kan Palace. Water transport is deficient, so disaster reaches it). Rain transformation number is five (Ruling Heaven). Cold transformation number is one (Central Transport and Ruling Earth are identical). This is called the days of normal transformation. Therapeutically, the upper part should use Bitter-Hot substances, the middle part Bitter-Neutral substances, and the lower part Bitter-Hot substances; this is called appropriate for medicines and foods. (Bitter-Neutral in the middle, Bitter-Hot below: Bitter follows Fire transformation, using Heat to treat Cold. Treatment of the upper part is the same as before. *Xuan Zhu* states: Upper use Acid-Harmonious, Lower use Sweet-Warm).
The six stages of guest Qi are: Shao Yu (end), Shao Jue (beginning), Tai Zheng, Shao Gong, Tai Shang.
In all these cases where Taiyin rules Heaven, the Qi transformation and operation follow behind the natural timing (This summarizes the six Qi transformations of Taiyin ruling Heaven in Chou and Wei years. The meaning of "following heaven" is seen earlier). Yin exclusively holds power, Yang retreats and avoids, and great winds often arise (Taiyin rules Heaven with Dampness, Taiyang rules Earth with Cold, so Yin holds power exclusively, and Yang retreats. Earth deficiency allows Wind to overcome it, so great winds often arise. Bi is synonymous with Bi [avoid]). Heavenly Qi descends, Earthly Qi ascends, the plains become dim, and white dust rises everywhere. Clouds rush to the South Pole, cold rains arrive frequently, and objects mature during the uneven summer (Dampness descends, Cold ascends, so the plains become dim, white dust rises. Ruling Heaven governs the South, and Taiyin resides there, so clouds rush to the South Pole, and rain/dampness is more common in the South. Cha means uneven. End of Summer entering Autumn is called Cha Xia. Because the Host Qi is at the time of Damp Earth, and the Guest Qi is at the order of Shaoyang, Earth Qi is slightly warm, so objects mature. , Meng, Meng, Mao have three pronunciations. Cha, chao shi qie). People suffer from cold-dampness, abdominal fullness, heavy body, distension, edema, fullness, reversed Qi, cold reversal, and stiffness/tetany (All are diseases transformed by cold-dampness. Fen Men means distension/fullness. , Chang zhen qie). Dampness and Cold combine their virtue, yellow-black dust becomes dim, circulating in the Qi intersection, corresponding to Zhensheng [Saturn] and Chenxing [Mercury] in the sky (Cold-Damp, Yellow-Black, Zhensheng and Chenxing are all transformations of Earth and Water). The administration is solemn, the commands are silent (Cold's administration is solemn, Damp's command is silent). The corresponding grains are Red and Black (Red corresponds to ruling Heaven, Black to ruling Earth). Thus, Yin condenses above, Cold accumulates below, Cold Water overcomes Fire, resulting in hail; sunlight fails to govern, and killing Qi proceeds (Upper Damp, Lower Cold, so the administration is thus. Killing Qi is Yin Qi). Therefore, what is excessive should be high, what is deficient should be low; what is excessive should be late, what is deficient should be early; this is the benefit of Earth and the transformation of Qi, and people's Qi also follows it (Excess and deficiency refer to Grain Qi. All Year Grains and Interim Grains have distinct colors, tastes, firmness, and crispness, with differences in Qi prosperity and decline. This year's Cold administration is excessive, so grains with excess Qi should be high and harvested late, as they can overcome Cold. Those with deficient Qi should be low and harvested early, as they cannot overcome Cold. People's strength and weakness are similar in their Qi). Interim Grains are named Tai (Detailed meaning seen earlier in Yangming administration).
First Qi: Earthly Qi migrates, cold departs, Spring Qi arrives, wind arises, life spreads, all things flourish, people's Qi is smooth and comfortable, Wind and Damp interact, and rain is delayed (Guest and Host Qi are both Jueyin Wind Wood operating, so cold departs and things flourish. With Taiyin Damp Earth ruling Heaven, Wind and Damp interact. Wind overcomes Damp, so rain arrives late. Migration of Earthly Qi, see earlier). People suffer from blood hemorrhage, tendon/stiffness constriction, joint disadvantage, heavy body, and tendon flaccidity (Wind disease affects tendons, Damp disease affects flesh, thus causing these syndromes. Blood hemorrhage is due to Wind injuring the Liver).
Second Qi: Great Fire is upright, objects receive its transformation, and people are harmonious (Guest and Host Qi are both Shaoyin Jun Fire operating, so Great Fire Qi is upright, objects receive its transformation, and people are also harmonious). Their diseases include widespread epidemic fevers, affecting far and near equally; Damp steaming interacts, and rain falls on time (Fire is excessive and Qi is hot, so people suffer from epidemic fevers. With Taiyin ruling Heaven, Damp steaming interacts. Timely rain falls on schedule, hence called timely descent).
