之虚。逢月之空。失时之和。三虚相搏。则为暴病卒死。两实一虚者。只伤于虚风也。淋露寒热者。
汗出而为寒为热也。犯其雨湿之地。则风湿相击而为痿。其有三虚而偏中于邪风。则为击仆偏枯。故
圣人避风。如避矢石矣。倪仲玉曰。重言圣人避风。如避矢石者。上节谓避太一出游之第一日。此避
太一立于中宫所朝之八风也。
Taiyi (The Supreme One) usually resides in the Yezhe Palace on the day of the Winter Solstice. After forty-six days, on the following day, it moves to the Tianliu Palace and resides there for forty-six days. On the next day, it moves to the Cangmen Palace and resides there for forty-six days. On the next day, it moves to the Yinluo Palace and resides there for forty-five days. On the next day, it moves to the Tiangong Palace and resides there for forty-six days. On the next day, it moves to the Xuanwei Palace and resides there for forty-six days. On the next day, it moves to the Cangguo Palace and resides there for forty-six days. On the next day, it moves to the Xinluo Palace and resides there for forty-five days. On the next day, it returns to the Yezhe Palace, marking the arrival of the Winter Solstice.
Lu Lianghou stated: This chapter discusses the palaces inhabited by Taiyi and the days of its migration, thereby corresponding to the well-being of the ruler, ministers, generals, and chancellors. Taiyi refers to the North Star; the direction pointed to by the handle of the Big Dipper is called "Yuejian" (Month Establishment), which indicates the direction governed by the current solar term. Five days constitute one Hou (pentad); three Hous constitute one Qi (solar term); three Qis constitute one Jie (section/term). At the midpoint of the Zi hour on the Winter Solstice, Yang energy begins to stir for the first time, marking the beginning of the year. Therefore, Taiyi usually resides in the Yezhe Palace on the Winter Solstice. Yezhe belongs to the Kan Palace. It resides in its own palace for forty-six days; on the forty-seventh day, it migrates to the Tianliu Palace of the Gen Palace. Tianliu belongs to the Gen Palace, where it resides for forty-six days. On the following day, it migrates to the Cangmen Palace of the Zhen Palace. Cangmen belongs to the Zhen Palace, where it resides for forty-six days. On the following day, it migrates to the Yinluo Palace of the Xun Palace. Yinluo belongs to the Xun Palace, where it resides for forty-five days. On the following day, it migrates to the Tiangong Palace of the Li Palace. Tiangong belongs to the Li Palace, where it resides for forty-six days. On the following day, it migrates to the Xuanwei Palace of the Kun Palace. Xuanwei belongs to the Kun Palace, where it resides for forty-six days. On the following day, it migrates to the Cangguo Palace of the Dui Palace. Cangguo belongs to the Dui Palace, where it resides for forty-six days. On the following day, it migrates to the Xinluo Palace of the Qian Palace. Xinluo belongs to the Qian Palace, where it resides for forty-five days. On the forty-sixth day, it returns to the Yezhe Palace, which marks the Winter Solstice of the coming year. This cycle continues endlessly, ending and beginning again. This describes the palaces inhabited by Taiyi throughout a year.
Ni Zhongyu stated: The Kan Palace is named Yezhe because during the winter season, all things are dormant and sealed away. When Yang energy begins to stir for the first time, hibernating insects start to move, hence the name Yezhe. The Gen Palace is named Tianliu because Gen represents the mountain, which is upright and immobile, thus deriving its name. The Zhen Palace is named Cangmen because "Cang" means storage. The Qi of heaven and earth and all things is stored here until the spring season in the east arrives, causing vibration and opening up, hence the name Cangmen. The Xun Palace is named Yinluo because in the Luoshu (River Chart), the numbers two and four are at the shoulders. The Xun Palace is located in the southeast and governs the fourth month, hence the name. The Li Palace is named Tiangong because the sun and moon attach to the sky, primarily reflecting the image of Li brightness being above, hence the name. The Kun Palace is named Xuanwei because Kun represents the earth. "Xuan" means profound and distant; "Zhi" (or Wei) implies compliance and gentleness. The way of the earth is profound, distant, soft, and compliant, hence the name. The Dui Palace is named Cangguo because "Guo" means fruit. All things store and bear fruit in autumn, hence the name. The Qian Palace is named Xinluo because "Xin" means beginning. In the Luoshu, nine is carried on top and one is walked upon; one is the beginning of Qian. These Nine Palaces correspond to the Eight Directions, and their names change with the seasons according to the times.
Taiyi travels daily, starting from the Winter Solstice, residing in the Yezhe Palace. Counting the days it occupies, it moves from one position to nine, then returns to the first, continuing this endless cycle, ending and beginning again. When Taiyi shifts its position, Heaven responds with wind and rain. If there is wind and rain on that specific day, it is an auspicious omen, indicating a good harvest, peaceful people, and few illnesses. If the wind and rain come too early, there will be excessive rain; if they come too late, there will be drought. Regarding anomalies when Taiyi is on the Winter Solstice day, the divination concerns the Ruler; when Taiyi is on the Spring Equinox day, anomalies concern the Chancellor; when Taiyi is in the Central Palace, anomalies concern officials; when Taiyi is on the Autumn Equinox day, anomalies concern Generals; when Taiyi is on the Summer Solstice day, anomalies concern the common people. What is meant by "anomalies" is that on the days Taiyi resides in a certain palace, violent winds break trees and raise sand and dust. Divinations regarding nobility and status are made based on the direction associated with that palace. Furthermore, one observes the direction from which the wind comes to make predictions. Wind blowing from the direction where Taiyi resides is called Shifeng (Solid/True Wind), which promotes growth and nourishes all things. Wind blowing from the opposite direction behind Taiyi is called Xufeng (Empty/False Wind), which harms people and causes destruction and harm. One must carefully monitor and avoid Xufeng. Thus, the Sages said: To avoid the path of Empty Evil (Xu Xie) is like avoiding arrows and stones. If so, evil cannot harm. This is what is meant. (Note: The character "Han" [sweat] in the original text should be "Han" [drought].)
Lu Lianghou stated: This describes Taiyi traveling through the Nine Palaces. "Counting the days it occupies" means counting from the occupied palace to the ninth day, then returning to the original palace. For example, if residing in the Yezhe Palace, on the first day it reaches Tianliu, on the second day Cangmen, on the third day Yinluo, on the fourth day Tiangong, on the fifth day the Central Palace, on the sixth day Xuanwei, on the seventh day Cangguo, on the eighth day Xinluo, and on the ninth day it returns to the Yezhe Palace. If residing in the Tianliu Palace, it counts nine days from Tianliu and returns to Tianliu. This cycle continues endlessly, ending and beginning again. Wind and rain are the harmonious Qi of Yin and Yang in Heaven and Earth. Therefore, on the days Taiyi changes palaces, Heaven responds with wind and rain. If there is wind and rain on the day itself, it is auspicious, leading to a good year, peace among the people, and few diseases. If wind and rain occur before the scheduled date, it indicates excessive rain; if after the date, it indicates drought and dryness. This refers to the first day of Taiyi's journey, which is the forty-seventh day after changing palaces. The Solstices (Winter/Summer) and Equinoxes (Spring/Autumn) are periods of Yin-Yang separation and conjunction. The Central Palace is used to divine the Eight Winds. Therefore, if there are anomalies on the first day of residing in each palace, divinations are made concerning the Ruler, people, generals, and chancellors. Violent winds breaking trees and raising sand are violent and abnormal climatic changes. Shifeng (True Wind) refers to the East Wind in spring, South Wind in summer, West Wind in autumn, and North Wind in winter; the Southeast Wind during the transition between spring and summer, and the Northwest Wind during the transition between autumn and winter. These are the righteous Qi of the four seasons, promoting growth and nourishing all things. Those blowing from the opposite direction, such as the Southwest winds on the Winter Solstice or the Northwest winds on the Spring Equinox, are called Xuxiang (Empty Direction) irregular winds, which harm people and destroy all things. Thus, the Sages said to avoid the path of Empty Evil as if avoiding arrows and stones. "Avoidance" refers to the first day of Taiyi's journey.
Therefore, when Taiyi migrates and stands in the Central Palace, it faces the Eight Winds to divine auspiciousness and inauspiciousness. Wind blowing from the south is called Dawefeng (Great Weak Wind). When it injures humans, it internally settles in the Heart and externally affects the Mai (Vessels/Pulse). Its Qi is primarily hot. Wind blowing from the southwest is called Mofeng (Plotting Wind). When it injures humans, it internally settles in the Spleen and externally affects the Ji (Muscles/Flesh). Its Qi is primarily weak. Wind blowing from the west is called Gangfeng (Rigid Wind). When it injures humans, it internally settles in the Lungs and externally affects the Pi Fu (Skin). Its Qi is primarily dry. Wind blowing from the northwest is called Zhefeng (Breaking Wind). When it injures humans, it internally settles in the Small Intestine and externally affects the Hand Taiyang Vessel. If the vessel qi is severed, blood overflows; if blocked, qi and blood do not flow smoothly, leading to sudden death. Wind blowing from the north is called Dagangfeng (Great Rigid Wind). When it injures humans, it internally settles in the Kidneys and externally affects the Gu (Bones) and the Lü Jin (Back muscles/tendons) of the shoulder and back. Its Qi is primarily cold. Wind blowing from the northeast is called Xiongfeng (Auspicious/Ominous Wind - literally "Fierce Wind"). When it injures humans, it internally settles in the Large Intestine and externally affects the two flanks, the area below the axillary bones, and the limb joints. Wind blowing from the east is called Ying'erfeng (Infant Wind). When it injure humans, it internally settles in the Liver and externally affects the Jin Niu (Tendon connections). Its Qi is primarily dampness in the body. Wind blowing from the southeast is called Ruofeng (Weak Wind). When it injures humans, it internally settles in the Stomach and externally affects the muscles. Its Qi is primarily heaviness in the body. These eight winds can only cause disease when they come from the direction of emptiness (Xu). If the "Three Empties" combine, sudden severe illness or death occurs. If there are "Two Solidities and One Emptiness," the disease manifests as dripping sweat, alternating cold and fever. If one encounters wet and rainy places, it leads to Wei Syndrome (flaccidity/atrophy). Thus, the Sages avoid wind as they would avoid arrows and stones. If one has the "Three Empties" and is partially struck by evil wind, it results in sudden collapse or hemiplegia (Pian Ku).
Lu Shi stated: On the fifth day of Taiyi's journey, standing in the Central Palace, it faces the Eight Winds to divine auspiciousness and inauspiciousness. The Eight Winds refer to the winds of the four cardinal directions and the four intercardinal directions. The human five Zang Organs are born from the five directions and Five Elements, internally connecting with the six Fu Organs, and externally connecting with the skin, vessels, flesh, tendons, and bones. Therefore, irregular winds from the eight directions internally damage the Zang-Fu organs and externally cause diseases in the physical form. These all come from the direction of emptiness and thus cause disease. For instance, if residing in the Yezhe Palace, on the fifth day of the journey, wind comes from the south and west; if residing in the Cangmen Palace, on the fifth day of the journey, wind comes from the northwest. Any irregular wind arriving on the counted day is called Xufeng (Empty Wind). The "Three Empties" refer to: the emptiness of the year (annual luck deficiency), the emptiness of the moon (waning moon phase), and the loss of harmony of the season. When these three empties combine, sudden severe illness or death occurs. "Two solidities and one emptiness" refers to injury solely by empty wind. "Linlu Hanre" refers to sweating followed by sensations of cold or heat. Encountering rainy and wet places causes wind-dampness to clash, resulting in Wei Syndrome. If there are "Three Empties" and one is partially struck by evil wind, it results in sudden collapse or hemiplegia. Thus, the Sages avoid wind as they would avoid arrows and stones. Ni Zhongyu stated: The repetition of "the Sages avoid wind as they would avoid arrows and stones" serves two purposes: the previous section referred to avoiding the wind on the first day of Taiyi's journey, while this section refers to avoiding the Eight Winds faced when Taiyi stands in the Central Palace.
