土复水也。）眚于九，（胜复皆因于火，故灾眚于九，南方离宫也。）其主骤注，雷霆震惊，（骤注，土复之变也。雷霆震
惊，火郁之达也。土火相协，故为是变。）沉 淫雨。（沉 ，阴云蔽日也。淫，久雨也。此皆湿复之变。 音阴。）
卑监之纪，是谓减化，（卑监之纪，土气不及也。凡甲己皆属土运，而己以阴柔，乃为不及。故于六己之年，化气不

土德衰，故雨愆期，金无所生，故收气平也。）风寒并兴，（土衰而木肆其暴，水无所畏，故风寒并兴。）草木荣美，秀而

炎威无德，灾反及之，微者复微，甚者复甚，气之常也。（此总结上文不及五运。凡相胜者，乘此孤危，恃彼强盛，不召
而至，炎威无德，至于子来报复，灾反及之。如木被金伤，则火来救母，起而相报，金为火制，乃反受灾。五行迭用，
胜复皆然。所以胜之微者报亦微，胜之甚者报亦甚。故《气交变大论》曰∶五运之政，犹权衡也。又曰∶胜复盛衰，不
能相多也。往来小大，不能相过也。正此之义。）
发生之纪，是谓启柬HT ，（此下详言太过之纪也。木之太过，是谓发生，阳刚之木，六壬是也。启，开也。HT ，

之年无卯酉，是太角本无上商也。故《新校正》云∶太过五运，独太角言与上商同，余四运并不言者，疑此文为衍。或
非衍则误耳。）上征则其气逆，其病吐利。（上征者，司天见少阴君火、少阳相火，乃壬子、壬午、壬寅、壬申四年是也。
木气有余而上行生火，子居母上，是为气逆，故其为病如此。《五营运大论》曰∶气相得而病者，以下临上，不当位者是
也。按∶此不言壬辰、壬戌上羽者，水木相临为顺，故不及之。）不务其德，则收气复，秋气劲切，甚则肃杀，清气大至，
草木凋零，邪乃伤肝。（若木恃太过，不务其德而侮土，则金必复之，故乘秋令而为灾如此。至其为病，则邪反伤肝矣。）
赫曦之纪，是谓蕃茂，（火之太过，是谓赫曦。六戊之岁，皆阳刚之火也。阳盛则万物俱盛，故曰蕃茂。）阴气内化，
阳气外荣，（阴降于下，阳升于上也。）炎暑施化，物得以昌。（阳气为发生之本也。）其化长，其气高，（阳主进，故化长。
火主升，故气高。）其政动，（阳主动也。）其令鸣显，（火之声壮，火之光明也。）其动炎灼妄扰，（大盛之害也。）其德暄

火，鳞属水，羽齐鳞化也。）其物脉濡，（脉为火，濡为水，其化亦然。）其病笑疟、疮疡血流、狂妄目赤。（皆火盛也。）
上羽与正征同，其收齐。（上羽者，太阳寒水司天，戊辰、戊戌年是也。火运太过，得水制之，则与升明正徽同其化。火
既务德，则金不受伤，而收令齐备也。）其病 ， 者，口噤如痫，肢体拘强也，水火相激而然。（ 证有二∶无汗恶寒

阴君火，戊寅、戊申，上见少阳相火，火盛则金衰，故收气后也。）暴烈其政，脏气乃复，时见凝惨，甚则雨水霜雹切寒，
邪伤心也。（若火不务德，暴烈其政，则金气受伤，水必复之，故其为灾如此，而寒邪反伤心也。）
敦阜之纪，是谓广化，（土之太过，是谓敦阜，六甲之岁，皆阳刚之土也。土之化气，广被于物，故曰广化。）浓德

故曰至阴。万物之化，无不赖土，故物化充成。）烟埃朦郁，见于浓土，（土本浓矣，而尤浓者，则在山川。烟埃朦郁，
土之气也，故见于此。）大雨时行，湿气乃用，燥政乃辟。（土之化湿，湿气行则燥气辟。辟，避同。）其化圆，其气丰，

The transformation of Yu (Water) is the same, (This generally discusses the six Gui years. Zheng is the tone of Fire; since Fire is deficient, it is called Shao Zheng [Lesser Fire]. Water overcomes it, so its transformation is the same as Shao Yu [Lesser Water].) Shang at the upper position is the same as Zheng Shang [Standard Metal], (Referring to Gui-Mao and Gui-You years. The upper position sees Yangming Dryness Metal ruling the heaven, which is called Shang Shang. Since the annual Fire qi is deficient, Metal has nothing to fear, and further receives assistance from the Dryness Metal ruling the heaven. Thus, in a year of Fire transport, the Qi of Shenping [Metal] prevails, hence it is said that Shang Shang is the same as Zheng Shang. Note: Among the six Shao Zheng years, Gui-Chou and Gui-Wei have Taiyin Damp Earth ruling the heaven (Shang Gong); Gui-Si and Gui-Hai have Jueyin Wind Wood ruling the heaven (Shang Jiao). Here only Shang Shang is mentioned, excluding Gong and Jiao, because Fire does not overcome Wood or Earth, and all return to the transformation of Shao Yu [Water].) Pathogenic factors injure the Heart. (Since Fire qi is deficient, Cold pathogenic factors injure the Heart.) Condensation, desolation, chill, and biting cold occur, leading to heavy rain and continuous drizzle, (Condensation, desolation, chill, and biting cold indicate Water overcoming Fire. Heavy rain and continuous drizzle indicate Earth repelling Water.) Calamities befall the Nine Palaces, (Both winning and repelling stem from Fire deficiency, so calamities occur in the Nine Palaces, corresponding to the Southern Li Palace.) The main manifestations are sudden torrential downpours and thunderous shocks, (Sudden torrents represent the variation of Earth's repulsion. Thunderous shocks represent the release of pent-up Fire qi. Earth and Fire cooperate, causing these changes.) Overcast clouds obscure the sun with prolonged rain. (Chen Yin refers to dark clouds hiding the sun. Yin refers to prolonged rain. These are all variations of Dampness repulsion. Yin sounds like "Yin".)
The era of Bei Jian [Low Supervision] is called Jianhua [Reduced Transformation], (Bei Jian indicates deficient Earth qi. All Jia and Ji years belong to Earth transport, but Ji years are yin and soft, representing deficiency. Thus, in the six Ji years, the transforming qi does not function properly, termed Jianhua.) Transforming qi does not function, while the policy of generation stands alone prominent, (Earth qi is insufficient, so Wood monopolizes the policy.) The Longqi [Growth Qi] is orderly, rain misses its time, and the Shouqi [Harvesting Qi] is balanced, (Fire and Earth do not interfere, so Longqi is orderly. Earth virtue declines, so rain is delayed. Metal has nothing to generate, so Shouqi is balanced.) Wind and Cold arise together, (Earth declines and Wood acts violently; Water has no fear, so Wind and Cold arise together.) Grass and trees flourish beautifully, blooming but not fruiting, maturing but becoming chaff. (Generation policy stands prominent, so grass and trees flourish. Transforming qi does not function, so although they bloom, they do not fruit. Bi sounds like "Bi", referring to chaff.) Their qi scatters, (Earth follows Wind, fluttering and scattering.) Their use is quiet and stable, (Earth policy is originally quiet; when its qi declines, transformation fails to affect things, becoming overly static.) Their movement manifests as ulcers, swelling, rupture, and carbuncles, (Disease of the Earth organ leads to vomiting and surging. Disease of muscle and tissue leads to ulcers, rotting, and carbuncles.) Their onset is damp and stagnant, (Earth fails to control Water.) Their internal organ is the Spleen, (Earth qi connects to the Spleen.) Their fruits are Plums and Chestnuts, (Plum is a Wood fruit; Chestnut is a Water fruit. With Earth deficiency, both fruits mature.) Their seeds are moist and stony, (Moist corresponds to Water; Stone corresponds to Wood.) Their grains are Beans and Hemp, (Bean is a Water grain; Hemp is a Wood grain. Both grains mature.) Their flavors are Sour and Sweet, (Sour prevails, Sweet declines.) Their colors are Greenish-Blue and Yellow, (More Greenish-Blue than Yellow.) Their animals are Oxen and Dogs, (Oxen are Earth animals, destined to decline. Dogs are Wood animals, destined to prosper.) Their insects are Naked-haired and Hairy, (Naked-haired belongs to Earth; Hairy belongs to Wood, showing prosperity and decline.) Their main manifestation is floating anger and vibration, (Manifestation of Wood superiority.) Their tones are Gong and Jiao, (Earth follows Wood.) Their diseases include stagnation, fullness, and obstruction, (Earth is insufficient and the Spleen fails to transport.) Following Wood transformation. (Summarizing the above.)
Shao Gong [Lesser Earth] is the same as Shao Jiao [Lesser Wood], (This generally discusses the six Ji years. Gong is the tone of Earth; Earth deficiency means Shao Gong. When Earth is insufficient, Wood takes advantage, so its transformation is the same as Shao Jiao.) Shang Gong [Upper Earth] is the same as Zheng Gong [Standard Earth], (Shang Gong refers to Taiyin Damp Earth ruling the heaven. In years of Earth deficiency, with the assistance of the ruling heaven, the Shao Gong era attains the Qi of Beihua [Preparation for Transformation], thus being the same as Zheng Gong. This applies to Ji-Chou and Ji-Wei years.) Shang Jiao [Upper Wood] is the same as Zheng Jiao [Standard Wood]. (Shang Jiao refers to Jueyin Wind Wood ruling the heaven. In years of Earth deficiency, half adopts Wood transformation. If Jueyin rules the heaven, Wood is further assisted. Thus, in an Earth transport year, the Fuhe [Dispersion and Harmony] transformation prevails, so Shang Jiao is the same as Zheng Jiao. This applies to Ji-Si and Ji-Hai years. Note: Ji-Mao and Ji-You years with Shang Shang are not mentioned because Earth and Metal do not interfere.) Their disease is undigested diarrhea, (Earth declines, Wind prevails.) Pathogenic factors injure the Spleen. (Earth qi is deficient, so pathogenic factors injure the Spleen.) Violent shaking and breaking, fluttering and scattering occur, leading to green, dry, and falling vegetation, (Violent shaking and breaking indicate Wood overcoming Earth. Green, dry, and falling vegetation indicate Metal repelling Wood.) Calamities befall the Four Corners, (Winning and repelling stem from Earth deficiency, so calamities appear in the Four Corners. The Four Corners refer to Earth's central position but flourishing in the four corners, i.e., Chen-Xu-Chou-Wei positions.) Their main symbols are broken branches, tigers, wild fields, and wolves, (Broken branches represent Metal's variation. Tigers, wild fields, and wolves often suffer injuries, all transformed by Metal repulsion.) Clear Qi takes effect, and the policy of generation is humiliated. (Metal repulsion takes effect; Wood victory is frustrated.)
The era of Cong Ge [Following Reform] is called Zhesou [Breaking Harvest], (Cong Ge indicates deficient Metal. All Yi and Geng years belong to Metal transport, but Yi years are yin and soft, representing deficiency. Thus, in the six Yi years, the harvesting qi is reduced and broken, termed Zhesou.) Harvesting qi lags behind, generating qi spreads, (When Metal's harvesting qi is delayed, Wood's generating qi spreads and prospers.) Growth combines virtue, Fire policy declares, and myriad species flourish. (Metal declines, so Fire exploits it. Fire prospers, so Earth receives aid. Thus, Growth combines virtue, Fire policy declares, and myriad species flourish.) Their qi rises, their use is restless and urgent, (Fire's qi and use rise and are restless.) Their movement involves rattling coughs, voicelessness, mental confusion, and reversal, (Rattling sound indicates cough. Jin indicates inability to speak. Mao indicates mental stuffiness. Jue indicates rebellious qi. Deficient Metal corresponds to the Lung; the Lung governs qi, hence these diseases. Keng sounds like "Keng". Mao has pronunciations Mao, Mo, Wu.) Their onset includes cough and asthma, (Lung disease.) Their internal organ is the Lung, (Metal qi connects to the Lung.) Their fruits are Plums and Apricots, (Plum is a Wood fruit; Apricot is a Fire fruit. With Metal deficiency, both fruits mature.) Their seeds are shells and networks, (Shell belongs to Metal; Network belongs to Fire, showing prosperity and decline.) Their grains are Hemp and Wheat, (Hemp is a Wood grain; Wheat is a Fire grain. Both grains mature.) Their flavors are Bitter and Pungent, (Bitter prevails, Pungent declines.) Their colors are White and Red, (More Red than White.) Their animals are Chickens and Sheep, (Chicken is a Metal animal, destined to decline. Sheep is a Fire animal, destined to prosper. *Jinkui Zhenyan* states Fire animals are sheep.) Their insects are Armored and Feathered, (Armored is a Metal insect; Feathered is a Fire insect. Showing prosperity and decline.) Their main manifestation is bright brilliance and scorching heat, (Manifestation of Fire superiority.) Their tones are Shang and Zheng, (Metal follows Fire.) Their diseases include sneezing, coughing, nasal congestion, and epistaxis, (Excess Fire affects the Lung.) Following Fire transformation. (Summarizing the transformation of deficient Metal qi above.)
Shao Shang [Lesser Metal] is the same as Shao Zheng [Lesser Fire], (This generally discusses the six Yi years. Shang is the tone of Metal; Metal deficiency means Shao Shang. When Metal is insufficient, Fire exploits it, so its transformation is the same as Shao Zheng.) Shang Shang [Upper Metal] is the same as Zheng Shang [Standard Metal], (Shang Shang refers to Yangming Dryness Metal ruling the heaven. In years of Metal deficiency, with the assistance of the ruling heaven, the Shao Shang era attains the Qi of Shenping [Reviewing Peace], thus being the same as Zheng Shang. This applies to Yi-Mao and Yi-You years.) Shang Jiao [Upper Wood] is the same as Zheng Jiao [Standard Wood], (In years of Metal deficiency, if Jueyin Wind Wood rules the heaven, Wood has no fear, so Wood transforms with Metal. Thus, it is the same as Zheng Jiao qi. This applies to Yi-Si and Yi-Hai years. Note: Yi-Chou and Yi-Wei years with Shang Gong are not mentioned because Earth and Metal do not interfere.) Pathogenic factors injure the Lung. (Metal is deficient, so pathogenic factors injure the Lung.) Brilliant light is intense, leading to ice, snow, frost, and hail, (Brilliant light is intense, indicating Fire overcoming Metal. Ice, snow, frost, and hail indicate Water repelling Fire.) Calamities befall the Seven Palaces, (Winning and repelling stem from Metal deficiency, so calamities occur in the Seven Palaces, corresponding to the Western Dui Palace.) Their main symbols are submerged scales, pigs, and rats, (Transformation of Water repulsion.) Organ qi arrives early, producing severe cold. (All are Water repulsions.)
The era of Helou [Dried Stream] is called Fanyang [Reversed Yang], (Helou indicates deficient Water. All Bing and Xin years belong to Water transport, but Xin years are yin and soft, representing deficiency. Thus, in the six Xin Yin Water years, Yang acts contrary to norm, termed Fanyang.) Storage order is not performed, transforming qi flourishes, (Water declines, so storage order does not function. Earth prevails, so transforming qi flourishes.) Growth qi announces itself, hibernating insects do not hide, (Fire has no fear, so Growth qi announces itself, and hibernating insects do not hide. Note: Harvesting qi is not mentioned because Metal and Water do not interfere.) Soil becomes moist, water springs diminish, (Earth overcomes Water.) Grass and trees grow vigorously, flourishing and abundant. (Growth and transformation qi are rich and dense.) Their qi stagnates, (Following Earth.) Their use is seeping and draining, (Water does not store.) Their movement is hard and static, (Earth pathogen stays stagnant, causing hardness and immobility as symptoms.) Their onset is dry and withered, (Yin qi is deficient.) Their internal organ is the Kidney, (Water qi connects to the Kidney.) Their fruits are Dates and Apricots, (Date is an Earth fruit; Apricot is a Fire fruit. With Water deficiency, both fruits should mature.) Their seeds are moist and fleshy, (Moist corresponds to Water, declining; Flesh corresponds to Earth, prospering.) Their grains are Millet and Setaria, (Millet is a Fire grain; Setaria is an Earth grain. Both grains should mature. Note: *Jinkui Zhenyan* states Fire grain is Millet, but this text says Wheat, suggesting an error between the two characters.) Their flavors are Sweet and Salty, (Sweet prevails, Salty declines.) Their colors are Yellow and Black, (More Yellow than Black. Jin sounds like "Jin".) Their animals are Pigs and Oxen, (Pig is a Water animal, destined to decline. Ox is an Earth animal, destined to reign.) Their insects are Scaly and Naked, (Scaly is a Water insect; Naked is an Earth insect. Prosperity and decline are similar.) Their main manifestation is dust, depression, and obscurity, (Manifestation of Earth superiority.) Their tones are Yu and Gong, (Water follows Earth.) Their diseases are flaccidity, reversal, and lower hardness, (Yangming excess and Shaoyin deficiency.) Following Earth transformation. (Summarizing the transformation of deficient Water qi above.)
Shao Yu [Lesser Water] is the same as Shao Gong [Lesser Earth], (This generally discusses the six Xin years. Yu is the tone of Water; Water deficiency means Shao Yu. When Water is insufficient, Earth exploits it, so its transformation is the same as Shao Gong.) Shang Gong [Upper Earth] is the same as Zheng Gong [Standard Earth], (Shang Gong is Taiyin Ruling Heaven. In years where Water declines and Earth prevails, if the ruling heaven encounters Earth, it receives further aid. Thus, the Shao Yu era performs the Qi of Beihua [Preparation for Transformation], so Shang Gong is the same as Zheng Gong. This applies to Xin-Chou and Xin-Wei years. Note: Xin-Si and Xin-Hai years with Shang Jiao are not mentioned because Water and Wood do not interfere; Xin-Mao and Xin-You years with Shang Shang are not mentioned because Metal and Water do not interfere.) Their disease is strangury and retention, (Kidney qi fails to transform. Bi is synonymous with Bi/Obstruction.) Pathogenic factors injure the Kidney. (Water is deficient, so pathogenic factors injure the Kidney.) Dusty haze and sudden rain occur, leading to violent shaking, breaking, and uprooting, (Dusty haze and sudden rain indicate Earth overcoming Water. Violent shaking, breaking, and uprooting indicate Water repelling Earth.) Calamities befall the One Palace, (Winning and repelling stem from Water deficiency, so calamities occur in the One Palace, corresponding to the Northern Kan Palace.) Their main symbols are hairy prominence, foxes, and naked transformations, failing to store, (Movement of Wood repulsion. Bi, pronounced Hege, also Mo.) Thus, acting upon danger, arriving without speed, fiery majesty lacks virtue, disaster returns to them. Minor victories bring minor repulsions, major victories bring major repulsions; this is the constant law of Qi. (This summarizes the five deficient transports above. Whenever one overcomes another, it exploits isolation and weakness, relying on strength, arriving unsummoned. Fiery majesty lacks virtue, until the child repays, and disaster returns. For example, if Wood is injured by Metal, Fire saves its mother and retaliates; Metal is controlled by Fire and suffers disaster. Five Elements alternate; winning and repelling are consistent. Thus, minor winners receive minor repulsions, major winners receive major repulsions. Hence, *Qijiao Bian Dalun* states: The administration of Five Transports is like a balance scale. It also states: Winning and repelling, prosperity and decline, cannot exceed each other in degree. Incoming and outgoing, small and large, cannot surpass each other. This is the meaning here.)
The era of Fasheng [Generating] is called Qichen [Opening and Spreading], (Below details the eras of excess. Excess Wood is called Fasheng. Yang-gang Wood corresponds to the six Ren years. Qi means opening. Chen means spreading. Spreading Yang harmony, generating all things. *Siqi Tiaoshen Lun* states: The three months of Spring are called Facen [Developing Old], which shares this meaning. Chen is the ancient character for Chen.) Earth becomes loose and draining, Cang Qi [Greenish-Blue Qi] reaches, (Wood qi moves, generating qi reaches, so Earth body becomes loose and draining. Cang Qi is Wood qi.) Yang harmony spreads, Yin qi follows, (Wood and Fire generate each other, so Yang harmony spreads. As Yang qi advances daily, Yin qi retreats daily. "Follows" means "follows later.") Generating qi is pure and transformative, all things flourish. (Wood qi is sufficient, so it can purely transform and glorify all things.) Its transformation is generation, its qi is beautiful, (Sheng is generation. Mei is fragrant/beautiful.) Its policy is dispersing, (Spreading harmonious qi, image of Wind.) Its order is flexible and comfortable, (Tiaoshu means following Qi transformation to grow long and smooth.) Its movement involves tremors, dizziness, and vertex diseases, (Diao is trembling. Xuan is spinning. Dian is vertex. Excess Wind-Wood causes such diseases. Diao is pronounced Tiliao.) Its virtue is sounding, scattering, and opening, (Sounding is Wind-Wood sound. Mi is scattering, luxurious. Qichai is the meaning of Facen; its virtue corresponds to Spring. *Liuyuan Zhengji Dalun* says: Its transformation is sounding, chaotic, opening, and splitting.) Its variation involves violent shaking, breaking, toppling, and uprooting, (Zhen means violent anger. La means breaking. Cui means falling. Ba means uprooting.) Its grains are Hemp and Rice, (Hemp is Wood grain; Rice is Metal grain. Aligning their transformations.) Its animals are Chickens and Dogs, (Chicken is Metal animal; Dog is Wood animal. Dog aligns with Chicken.) Its fruits are Plums and Peaches, (Plum is Wood fruit; Peach is Metal fruit. Plum aligns with Peach.) Its colors are Green, Yellow, and White, (Wood overcomes Earth and aligns with Metal, so three colors appear.) Its flavors are Sour, Sweet, and Pungent, (Three flavors correspond to Wood, Earth, and Metal.) Its image is Spring, (Wind-warmth matches Spring transformation.) Its meridians are Foot Jueyin and Shaoyang, (Foot Jueyin Liver, Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder, responses of Wood.) Its organs are Liver and Spleen, (Liver overcomes Spleen.) Its insects are Hairy and Armored, (Hairy aligns with Armored breeding.) Its objects are hard inside and hard outside, (Wood and Metal combine transformation.) Its disease is anger. (Wood is strong.) Tai Jiao [Greater Wood] is the same as Shang Shang [Upper Metal]. (Note: The six Ren years lack Mao and You years, so Tai Jiao originally has no Shang Shang. Thus, *Xin Zhengxiao* states: Among excess Five Transports, only Tai Jiao mentions being the same as Shang Shang; the other four do not mention it, suspecting this text is superfluous. Or if not superfluous, it is erroneous.) Shang Zheng [Upper Fire] causes its qi to rebel, its disease is vomiting and diarrhea. (Shang Zheng refers to Shaoyin Ministerial Fire and Shaoyang Ministerial Fire ruling the heaven, i.e., Ren-Zi, Ren-Wu, Ren-Yin, Ren-Shen four years. Excess Wood qi moves upward to generate Fire; Son sits above Mother, called Qi Rebellion, hence these diseases. *Wuyun Da Lun* states: Diseases occurring when Qi is compatible happen when lower oversees upper, occupying an improper position. Note: Ren-Chen and Ren-Xu years with Shang Yu are not mentioned because Water and Wood adjacency is favorable.) If it does not cultivate its virtue, then Shouqi [Harvesting Qi] repels, Autumn Qi is sharp and cutting, even severe肃杀 [Solemn Killing], Clear Qi arrives greatly, grass and trees wither, pathogenic factors injure the Liver. (If Wood relies on excess, does not cultivate virtue, and insults Earth, then Metal will repel it, causing disaster in Autumn. As for disease, pathogenic factors反而 injure the Liver instead.)
The era of Hexi [Blazing Heat] is called Fanmao [Flourishing Abundance], (Excess Fire is called Hexi. Years of the six Wu are all Yang-gang Fire. Yang excess means all things flourish, hence Fanmao.) Yin qi transforms internally, Yang qi glories externally, (Yin descends below, Yang ascends above.) Blazing heat implements transformation, things achieve prosperity. (Yang Qi is the root of generation.) Its transformation is growth, its qi is high, (Yang advances, so transformation grows. Fire ascends, so qi is high.) Its policy is moving, (Yang is active.) Its order is loud and manifest, (Fire's sound is strong, Fire's brightness is manifest.) Its movement is burning, scorching, and reckless disturbance, (Harm of great excess.) Its virtue is warm summer and stifling heat, (Heat transformation acts; its virtue corresponds to Summer.) Its variation is blazing fire and boiling, (Fire excess, extreme heat variation.) Its grains are Wheat and Beans, (Wheat is Fire grain; Bean is Water grain. Wheat aligns with Bean.) Its animals are Sheep and Pigs, (Sheep is Fire animal; Pig is Water animal. Their breeding aligns.) Its fruits are Apricots and Chestnuts, (Apricot is Fire fruit; Chestnut is Water fruit. Their substance is the same.) Its colors are Red, White, and Black, (Fire, Metal, Water three colors, showing prosperity and decline.) Its flavors are Bitter, Pungent, and Salty, (Also Fire, Metal, Water three flavors.) Its image is Summer, (Hot dusk and dark fire match Summer transformation.) Its meridians are Hand Shaoyin, Taiyang, Jueyin, and Shaoyang, (Hand Shaoyin Heart, Hand Taiyang Small Intestine, Hand Jueyin Pericardium, Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao, all responses of Fire.) Its organs are Heart and Lung, (Heart overcomes Lung.) Its insects are Feathered and Scaly, (Feathered belongs to Fire, Scaly belongs to Water, Feathered aligns with Scaly transformation.) Its objects are pulses and dampness, (Pulse is Fire, Dampness is Water, their transformation is likewise.) Its diseases include laughing malaria, sores, flowing blood, madness, and red eyes. (All due to Fire excess.)
Shang Yu [Upper Water] is the same as Zheng Zheng [Standard Fire], its harvesting is complete. (Shang Yu refers to Taiyang Cold Water ruling the heaven, Wu-Chen and Wu-Xu years. Fire transport excess is controlled by Water, thus sharing the transformation of Shengming Zhenghui [Ascending Bright Standard Harmony]. Since Fire cultivates virtue, Metal is not injured, and the harvesting command is complete.) Its disease is Jing [Spasm], stiffness involves jaw locking like epilepsy and limb rigidity, caused by Water and Fire clashing. (Jing syndrome has two types: No sweat and aversion to cold is Gang Jing [Stiff Spasm]; sweat and no aversion to cold is Rou Jing [Soft Spasm]; both are Foot Taiyang diseases. Chi sounds like "Chi".) Shang Zheng [Upper Fire] delays harvesting qi, (Shang Zheng refers to Two Fires ruling the heaven. Referring to Wu-Zi, Wu-Wu seeing Shaoyin Ministerial Fire; Wu-Yin, Wu-Shen seeing Shaoyang Ministerial Fire. Fire excess causes Metal decline, so harvesting qi is delayed.) Violently harsh is its policy, organ qi repels, occasionally seeing desolation, even severe rain, water, frost, and hail with biting cold, pathogenic factors injure the Heart. (If Fire does not cultivate virtue, acts violently harsh, then Metal qi is injured, and Water must repel, causing disasters as described, and Cold pathogenic factors反而 injure the Heart instead.)
The era of Dunfu [Piled High] is called Guanghua [Broad Transformation], (Excess Earth is called Dunfu. Years of the six Jia are all Yang-gang Earth. Earth's transforming qi broadly covers things, hence Guanghua.) Dense virtue and clear tranquility, following growth to fill, (Earth virtue is dense, Earth nature is quiet, following Fire's growth qi, filling the transformation policy; Earth is born from Fire.) Supreme Yin is solid internally, things transform fully and complete, (Supreme density and quietness mean Supreme Yin. Transformation of all things relies on Earth, so things transform fully and complete.) Smoke and dust obscure, seen in dense soil, (Earth is already dense, but especially dense in mountains and rivers. Smoke and dust obscure are Earth's qi, hence seen here.) Heavy rain occurs frequently, Dampness is used, Dry policy avoids. (Earth transforms Dampness; when Dampness acts, Dryness avoids. Pi is synonymous with Bi/Avoid.) Its transformation is round, its qi is abundant, (Round means pervasive. Feng means full.) Its policy is quiet, (Its virtue is dense and heavy, so its policy is tranquil.) Its order is comprehensive and prepared, (Earth reigns in four seasons and fills all things, hence Comprehensive and Prepared.) Its movement is damp accumulation and gathering, (Dampness is mostly moist; Quietness accumulates. Ju, pronounced Changliu, means gathering.) Its virtue is soft, moist, heavy, and muddy, (Nao means muddy/wet, also harmonious. Nao, pronounced Naidao.) Its variation is shocking thunder, flying storms, and collapse, (Shocking thunder and flying storms are thunder and violent wind. Collapse is flood bursting. This is Earth extreme combined with Wood repulsion transformation.) Its grains are Setaria and Hemp, (Setaria is Earth grain; Hemp is Wood grain.)
