Ping's Note: This section appears in the same compilation of *Suwen* (Plain Questions), and also in Volume 12, Section 5 of *Jiayijing* (Systematic Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion).
Headache and tinnitus, with dysfunction of the nine orifices (the seven sensory orifices plus the urethra and anus), arise from disorders of the stomach and intestines. (The meridians of the stomach and intestines ascend to the head and distribute to the seven orifices; therefore, dysfunction of the stomach and intestines leads to pathology in the head and orifices.)
Ping's Note: This section appears in the same compilation of *Suwen*, and also in Volume 11, Section 9 of *Jiayijing*.
Sudden carbuncles, flaccid tendons, pain following the muscle intervals, unceasing Po sweat (sweat governed by the Lung), and insufficiency of Bao Qi (Qi of the Bladder) should be treated by selecting Shu points on the meridians. (Flaccid tendons refer to tendons weakened by dampness. Pain following the intervals refers to pain along the intermuscular spaces. Po sweat is sweat governed by the Lung. Insufficiency of Bao Qi refers to insufficiency of the Qi of the Bladder. These five conditions can be primarily treated by selecting the Shu points of the Twelve Meridians. Ping's Note: In *Suwen*, "ru" is written as a different character. *Suwen* and *Jiayijing* omit the character "wai" after "sui".)
Based on verification and supplementation from Wang Bing's commentary on *Suwen*, Lin Yi et al.'s New Corrections, Lin Yi et al.'s corrected *Jiayijing*, *Maijing* (Pulse Classic), and citations in the Japanese *Ishinpō* (Medical Heart Formulas), these contents should reside in the missing seventh volume of the current text. The citations from various books are appended item by item below for reference.
Diet has constant moderation, daily routine has constant measure, no recklessness, no disorder. (To select sounds, colors, fragrances, and flavors according to principle, without reckless hearing or seeing. To move according to principle, without engaging in affairs beyond one's duty. Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 1, Chapter 1, *Shanggu Tianzhen Lun* (Discourse on the Heavenly Truth of Antiquity) of *Suwen*.)
The teachings of the sages of antiquity were followed by all below. (The sages of antiquity, when instructing others, first practiced it themselves; this is teaching without words. Teaching without words surpasses teaching with words, so many common people imitated and practiced it; thus it is said that all below followed it. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
The body's musculature is unified with the Great One (Taiji). (The body of the Zhenren [True Person] has musculature identical in nature to the Taiji; hence it is called "Zongyi" [unified with the source]. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
There are those called Zhiren (Perfected Persons). (Accumulating essence and preserving spirit, reaching the virtue of Dao, they are called Zhiren. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
The Yellow Emperor said: I have heard that the sages of antiquity discussed human form, distinguished the Zang-Fu organs, traced the meridians, integrated the Six Reities (Six Meridians), each following its own meridian; the emission points of Qi acupoints have their names; the streams and valleys attached to bones have their divisions and origins; the distribution of reversal and compliance has its order; the Yin and Yang of the four seasons have their principles; the correspondence between interior and exterior has its manifest and concealed aspects. Is this truly so? (Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 2, Chapter 5, *Yinyang Yingxiang Dalun* (Great Discourse on the Correspondence of Yin and Yang) of *Suwen*. Additionally, according to the New Corrections: From "Di yue" to "xin qi ran hu", the Quan Qiyuan edition and *Taisu* place this before "The teachings of the sages of antiquity".)
In terms of transformation, it manifests as grasping (tendon contraction). (Grasping, worry, hiccups, coughing, and [missing character] are changes in will/emotion, named transformations. Ping's Note: This passage also appears in Volume 2, Chapter 5 of *Suwen*.)
The pulse generates from the Spleen. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
In terms of transformation, it manifests as worry. (Worry of the Heart lies in the Heart's transformation; worry of the Lung lies in the Lung's emotion. Thus, the Lung governs Autumn, and worry is its proper emotion; the Heart governs Summer, and worry arises from transformation. Ping's Note: This passage appears in *Suwen* above. Also, Yang's note here appears in *Jiayijing* Volume 1, Chapter 1.)
The East: Wind injures tendons, Sour flavor injures tendons. The Center: Dampness injures flesh, Sweet flavor injures flesh. The South: Heat injures Qi, Bitter flavor injures Qi. The North: Cold injures Blood, Salty flavor injures Blood. The West: Heat injures skin and hair, Pungent flavor injures skin and hair. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in *Suwen* above. Additionally, according to *Suwen* New Corrections: "All injuries of the five directions mentioned here, *Taisu* states as self-injury." Yuan Ke edition says: Self-injury seems to be a note.)
The Center generates Dampness. (In the sixth month, Four Yang and Two Yin combine and steam to generate Dampness. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Dampness generates Earth. (Four Yang and Two Yin combine to become Dampness, steaming and rotting all things to form Earth. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
In terms of transformation, it manifests as hiccups. (Hiccups are rebellious Qi. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Dryness injures skin and hair; Heat overcoming Dryness. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Cold injures bones. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Dampness overcoming Cold. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter. Additionally: The passages "Cold injures bones" and "Dampness injures Cold" are omitted in Yuan Ke edition.)
Salty flavor injures bones. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Left and Right are the pathways of Yin and Yang. (Yin Qi moves to the right, Yang Qi moves to the left. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Xiao zhe zhuozhuo (describing a hollow, distended abdomen). (Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 3, Chapter 8, *Linglan Midian Lun* (Secret Discourse on the Spiritual Repository) of *Suwen*.)
The dwelling place of Shen (Spirit). (Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 3, Chapter 9, *Liujie Zangxiang Lun* (Discourse on the Manifestation of Zang-Fu in Six Sections) of *Suwen*.)
Additionally: In *Suwen · Liujie Zangxiang Lun*, the Lung is called Taiyin within Yang; the New Corrections cite *Taisu* changing Taiyin to Shaoyin; the Kidney is called Shaoyin within Yin; the New Corrections cite *Taisu* changing Shaoyin to Taiyin; the Liver is called Shaoyang within Yang; the New Corrections cite *Taisu* as Shaoyang within Yin. These three items were extracted from thirteen sheets of manuscript found by Yang Xingwu in the Imperial Collection of Ninna-ji Temple in Japan and added to Book 3, Chapter 2, *Yinyang He* of this book; thus these three are not listed again.
When the disease is mild, recovery occurs in a cycle. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 4, Chapter 16, *Zhuyao Jingzhong Lun* (Discourse on the Essential Meridian Endings) of *Suwen*.)
Slippery pulse indicates deficiency of Qi. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 5, Chapter 17, *Maiyao Jingwei Lun* (Essential Discourse on Pulse Examination) of *Suwen; additionally, *Maijing* writes "deficiency of Qi" as "scarcity of Qi".)
White should resemble the luster of white jade, not the dryness of chalk. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
The Five Zang organs are the mansions of the Interior. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Walking with stooped back and stiff dorsum pedis. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Resembling the excessive floating of the Heart. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 7, Chapter 21, *Jingmai Bailun* (Discourse on Differences in Meridians) of *Suwen*.)
What is meant by deficiency of Qi. (Deficiency of Qi refers to insufficiency of Qi in the Danzhong. Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 8, Chapter 28, *Tongping Xushi Lun* (Discourse on Uniform Evaluation of Deficiency and Excess) of *Suwen*.)
Fullness at the Chi position without response. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Warm feet indicate life; cold feet indicate death. (Warm feet indicate Qi descending, thus life. Cold feet with non-descending Qi is rebellion leading to death. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Excess pulse in severe or chronic disease is treatable. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter. Additionally, Wang Bing's note on *Suwen* says: In chronic disease, Qi and Blood are depleted, so the pulse should not be excess and large; thus it is untreatable. New Corrections say: "Examining the classic stating excess in severe/chronic disease is treatable, while the note considers it untreatable; *Jiayijing*, *Taisu*, and Quan Qiyuan edition all state it is treatable." It further cites Chao Yuanfang: "Rapid and large pulse indicates life; fine, small, and floating pulse indicates death." Yuan Ke edition writes "hanging, small, and firm pulse in chronic disease is treatable," which is likely erroneous.)
Reciting and somewhat understanding, understanding but unable to distinguish, distinguishing but unable to clarify, clarifying but unable to manifest. (Learning the Dao has five stages: one, reciting; two, understanding; three, distinguishing; four, clarifying; five, manifesting. Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 23, Chapter 75, *Zhezhi Jiao Lun* (Discourse on Profound Teachings) of *Suwen*.)
Listing the stars and the light of sun and moon. (This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Reaching up to Shennong, establishing profound teachings comparable to the Two Emperors. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Regarding the Three Yang, Tai serves as the profession/foundation. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Below presents as leakage disease. (Leakage disease refers to bladder leakage, frequent urination and defecation, inability to hold. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Kidney exhaustion leads to death, dying at dusk. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
You must indeed distinguish and understand the faults of the Five Zang organs. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 23, Chapter 76, *Shi Congrong Lun* (Discourse on Showing Composure) of *Suwen*.)
Therefore it is named the Classic of Diagnosis. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
As an assistant to the myriad people. (Fu means assistance. Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 23, Chapter 77, *Shuwuguo Lun* (Discourse on Five Negligences) of *Suwen*.)
The disease is deep and severe. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Initially joy, initially suffering. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Fall of feudal lords, and dukes, marquis, and kings. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Qi internally becomes excess. (Qi in heaven and earth is external Qi; Qi in the human body is internal Qi. External Qi shapes all things, constituting external excess; Internal Qi nourishes and guards, constituting internal excess. Seeking the principle of internal Qi in treating disease is the key to treatment. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Changing names to appear clever. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 23, Chapter 78, *Zhengsishi Lun* (Discourse on Four Errors) of *Suwen*.)
Foolish mind claiming merit. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
The Yellow Emperor sat leisurely, observing the eight extremes, rectifying the Qi of the Eight Winds, and asked Leigong: Regarding categories of Yin and Yang, the way of meridians, what each of the Five Viscera governs, which Zang organ is most noble? (Heaven is Yang, Earth is Yin, Humanity is Harmony. Without Yin, Yang declines and kills endlessly; without Yang, Yin grows and multiplies endlessly. Endless growth harms Yin, causing Yin disasters; endless decline harms Yang, causing Yang calamities. Thus, sages are needed between Heaven and Earth to harmonize Yin and Yang Qi, allowing all things to grow. The way of Harmony is to first cultivate oneself and virtue, then Yin and Yang Qi harmonize; if Yin and Yang Qi harmonize, the winds of the eight seasons are regulated; if winds of eight seasons are regulated, the winds of the eight voids cease; thus diseases do not arise, and auspicious signs gather. This is also unknowingly so. Thus, the Yellow Emperor asks about the nobility and baseness of the body's meridians, based on regulation, cultivating oneself to rectify the Qi of the Eight Winds. Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 24, Chapter 79, *Yinyang Lei Lun* (Discourse on Categories of Yin and Yang) of *Suwen*.)
Three Yang acts as the meridian framework, Two Yang acts as the support, One Yang acts as the wandering department. (Three Yang refers to Foot-Taiyang Meridian, ascending from the inner canthus to the head, dividing into four paths, descending the neck with main and branch meridians totaling six paths, traveling on the back, serving as the meridian framework for the body. Two Yang refers to Foot-Yangming Meridian, rising from the nose, descending the throat dividing into four paths, with main and branch meridians totaling six paths, traveling up and down the abdomen, supporting the body. One Yang refers to Foot-Shaoyang Meridian, arising from the outer canthus, connecting the head dividing into four paths, descending the supraclavicular fossa with main and branch meridians totaling six paths up and down, managing the hundred joints, circulating Qi in three regions, hence called Wandering Department. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Pulse is deep and drum-like without floating, emptying the Zhi (Will) and Xin (Heart). (Lung pulse floating and choppy is normal. Now seeing deep and drum-like pulse indicates Kidney pulse. Foot-Shaoyin Meridian penetrates the spine and connects to the Kidney, ascends into the Lung, emerges from the Lung to connect to the Heart. Lung Qi descends into Kidney Will, ascends into Heart Spirit. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
One Yin arrives alone. (One Yin refers to Jueyin. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Two Yin and One Yang disease is in the Lung. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Both Yin and Yang are exhausted, expected in early spring. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Yin and Yang intersect, expected during [water stillness]. ( , pronounced lian jian, water stillness, July when Water is born. Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Ascending once but not descending, cold jue reaches the knees. (Deficiency is jue. Yang Qi ascends once to the head but does not descend to the feet; the calves are deficient, thus cold jue reaches the knees. Ping's Note: This passage appears in Volume 24, Chapter 80, *Fang Shengshuai Lun* (Discourse on Extreme Excess and Deficiency) of *Suwen*.)
If lying in an empty room, it is one of Yin and Yang. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Extreme Yang cuts off Yin, this is deficiency of Qi. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
The Spleen governs defense. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in *Jiayijing* Volume 1, Chapter 3.)
The Six Fu organs, the Stomach is their sea, wide chest, large neck, expanded thorax, where grains are contained. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
One should observe Quezhong. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in *Jiayijing* Volume 1, Chapter 15.)
Black color appears in the Ting (forehead). (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Above Quezhong is the pharynx and larynx. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
At Quezhong is the Lung. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Diseases originating from Yang should be treated externally first, then internally. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in the same chapter.)
Wei Qi remains in the abdomen. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in *Jiayijing* Volume 9, Chapter 4.)
It is not disaster wind. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in *Jiayijing* Volume 10, First Lower Compilation.)
Blood and Qi stagnate, hip skin fills muscles. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in *Jiayijing* Volume 11, Chapter 6.)
Meridians with abnormalities. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in *Maijing* Volume 1, Chapter 2.)
Slippery pulse indicates scarcity of Qi. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in *Maijing* Volume 1, Chapter 13. Additionally, *Suwen · Maiyao Jingwei Lun* writes "scarcity of Qi" as "deficiency of Qi".)
Cold Qi suddenly ascends, pulse full and excess, how is it? Answer: Excess and slippery indicates life; excess and rebellious indicates death. What about the form being entirely full? Answer: If the entire form is full, the pulse is urgent, large, and firm, Chi position is full without response; in such cases, compliance indicates life, rebellion indicates death. What is compliance indicating life and rebellion indicating death? Answer: Compliance means warm hands and feet; rebellion means cold hands and feet. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in *Maijing* Volume 4, Chapter 7.)
First month paste, second month vessels, third month womb, fourth month fetus, fifth month tendons, sixth month bones, seventh month formed, eighth month moving, ninth month restless, tenth month birth. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in Japanese *Ishinpō* Volume 22. Additionally, in *Taisu* Volume 9, Chapter 1, *Jingmai Zhengbie* chapter, Yang's note says: "When receiving the body, first month paste, second month vessels, preceding form." From third month womb onwards is not recorded. Additionally, *Ishinpō* Volume 24 cites *Taisu*: "Emperor Xuanyuan said: Humans receive Qi of Heaven and Earth, transforming to be born; first month paste, second month vessels, third month womb, fourth month fetus, fifth month tendons, sixth month bones, seventh month formed, eighth month moving, ninth month odor, tenth month birth." This is likely Yang's note, slightly differing from *Ishinpō* Volume 22.)
Daoyin (Guiding and Pulling), referring to exercises like Bear Neck and Bird Stretch, Five Animal Frolics, etc., near cures paralysis and myriad diseases, far achieves long life and clear vision. (Ping's Note: This passage appears in Japanese *Ishinpō* Volume 27, citing Yang's note from *Taisu*.)
