也。帝曰∶善。

(Huangdi asked:) When the pathogen is in the interior, but palpation reveals neither fullness nor hardness, and it gathers and scatters intermittently, what should be done? Qibo replied: What a detailed question! For conditions without accumulation (Ji), seek the affected Zang organ. If deficient, tonify it; use herbs to dispel the pathogen; use food to follow up with nourishment; use water soaking (Shui Zi) to promote circulation; harmonize the interior and exterior, and the disease can be cured.
Huangdi asked: Are there regulations for taking toxic and non-toxic herbs? Qibo replied: Diseases differ in duration (new vs. old), and formulas differ in size. The toxicity of herbs has established rules. To treat disease with highly toxic herbs, stop when six-tenths of the disease is gone; with commonly toxic herbs, stop at seven-tenths; with slightly toxic herbs, stop at eight-tenths; with non-toxic herbs, stop at nine-tenths. Use grains, meats, fruits, and vegetables to complete the dietary therapy and eliminate the remaining pathogen. Do not overdo it, lest you damage the Zheng Qi (Upright Qi). If the disease is not fully resolved, repeat the method as prescribed. First, consider the annual climate (Sui Qi); do not violate the harmony of Heaven and Earth. Do not reinforce excess or further deplete deficiency, thereby avoiding disaster for the people. Do not allow pathogens to arise or lose the Zheng Qi, which would cut short human life.
Huangdi asked: For those with chronic diseases, some have Qi stagnation and do not recover; even after the pathogen is gone, they remain emaciated. What should be done? Qibo replied: How profound is the Sage's question! Transformation cannot be substituted, and seasonal changes cannot be violated. As long as the meridians are unobstructed and Blood and Qi flow smoothly, restoring insufficiency to match that of healthy individuals, through nourishment and harmonization, waiting quietly for the right time, carefully guarding the Qi so it does not collapse, the physical form will manifest vitality, and Sheng Qi (Vital Qi) will grow. This is called the way of the Sage King. Thus, the general principle states: Do not substitute natural transformation, do not violate seasons, must nourish and harmonize, and wait for recovery. This is what is meant.
Huangdi said: Excellent.

Huangdi asked: I know about the Six Transformations and Six Changes, the excessive treatments of Sheng (Overcoming) and Fu (Rebounding) Qi, and the sequence of the six flavors (Sweet, Bitter, Pungent, Salty, Sour, Bland). However, regarding the transformation of the Five Yuns (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), sometimes they follow the Five Qi, sometimes they oppose Heavenly Qi, sometimes they follow Heavenly Qi but oppose Earthly Qi, sometimes they follow Earthly Qi but oppose Heavenly Qi, sometimes they are compatible, and sometimes incompatible. I fail to understand these matters. I wish to comprehend the records of Heaven, follow the principles of Earth, harmonize the Yuns, adjust the Transformations, so that Upper and Lower possess virtue, do not compete with each other, Heaven and Earth ascend and descend without losing propriety, the Five Yuns propagate without deviating from their governance, and the correct flavors are adjusted. How should one adapt to compliance or opposition? Qibo bowed twice and replied: Your question is profoundly insightful! This is the纲纪 (綱紀 - guiding principle) of Heaven and Earth, the source of changes. Who but a Sage Emperor could exhaust its ultimate principles? Although I am not wise, I request to expound this Dao, so it may never perish and remain unchanged for a long time.
Huangdi said: I wish for you to deduce and arrange them in order, following their categories, dividing their regional masters, distinguishing their ancestral functions, clarifying their Qi numbers, and illuminating their correct transformations. May I hear them? Qibo said: First establish the year to clarify its Qi. The numbers of the operational Yuns of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, and the transformations of the supervising Qi of Cold, Heat, Dryness, Dampness, Wind, and Fire, then the Way of Heaven can be seen, and the Qi of the people can be regulated. Yin and Yang expand and contract; being close, there is no confusion. Those that can be counted by numbers, let me proceed to explain.
Huangdi asked: What is the governance of Taiyang (Sun)? Qibo said: It is the record of Chen and Xu years.
Taiyang (Shaoyin Junfire on Heaven) Taijue (Jueyin Windwood on Earth) Taiyin (Dampness governs) Ren-Chen and Ren-Xu years. Its Yun is Wind, its Hua (Transformation) is rustling sounds and opening/splitting, its Bian (Change/Abnormality) is shaking, pulling, destroying, and uprooting, its Bing (Disease) is vertigo, tremors, and blindness.
Taijue (Initial/Normal) Shaozheng Taigong Shaoshang Taiyu (Final)
Taiyang Taireg (Initial/Normal) Taiyin Wu-Chen and Wu-Xu years same as Zheng Zheng. Its Yun is Heat, its Hua is warm summer heat, depression and mugginess, its Bian is fierce flames and boiling, its Bing is heat depression.
Taireg Shaogong Taishang Shaoyu (Final) Shaojue (Initial)
Taiyang Taigong Taiyin Jia-Chen (Sui Hui, same as Tian Fu) and Jia-Xu (Sui Hui, same as Tian Fu) years. Its Yun is Yin mist/dust, its Hua is soft, moist, heavy, and glossy, its Bian is thunder shock and drifting storms, its Bing is heaviness in the lower body.
Taigong Shaoshang Taiyu (Final) Taijue (Initial) Shaozheng
Taiyang Taishang Taiyin Geng-Chen and Geng-Xu years. Its Yun is Cool, its Hua is fog, dew, and whistling, its Bian is solemn killing and withering, its Bing is dryness, back dizziness, and chest fullness.
Taishang Shaoyu (Final) Shaojue (Initial) Taireg Shaogong
Taiyang Taiyu Taiyin Bing-Chen (Tian Fu) and Bing-Xu (Tian Fu) years. Its Yun is Cold, its Hua is congealing, miserable, and biting cold, its Bian is ice, snow, frost, and hail, its Bing is severe cold lingering in the valleys.
Taiyu (Final) Taijue (Initial) Shaozheng Taigong Shaoshang
In all these Taiyang ruling Heaven policies, the Qi transformation operates prior to Heaven (Xian Tian). Heavenly Qi is solemn, Earthly Qi is quiet. Cold descends upon the Great Void, Yang Qi does not command. Water and Earth combine in virtue, corresponding above to Chen Xing (Mercury) and Zhen Xing (Saturn). The grains are black and dark red. Its governance is solemn, its command is slow. When Cold governance is greatly launched, marshes lack Yang flames, then Fire erupts awaiting its time. Shaoyang governs in the middle, seasonal rains cease, rain stops and scatters, returning to Taiyin. Clouds face the North Pole, Dampness transformation spreads, moisture flows to all things. Cold spreads above, thunder moves below. Cold-Damp Qi holds at the Qi intersection. People suffer Cold-Damp diseases, developing muscle atrophy, flaccidity and inability to收 (receive/support) the feet, loose diarrhea, and blood overflow.
1st Qi: Earthly Qi migrates, Qi becomes greatly warm, grass blooms early, people suffer epidemics, Warm diseases arise. Symptoms: body heat, headache, vomiting, skin and interstices sores.
2nd Qi: Great Coolness returns, people feel miserable, grass encounters cold, Fire Qi is suppressed. People suffer Qi depression and middle fullness, Cold begins.
3rd Qi: Heavenly governance spreads, Cold Qi moves, rain descends. People suffer Cold, counteracting with internal Heat, abscesses, dysentery, heart heat, dizziness, and oppression. Untreated cases die.
4th Qi: Wind and Damp contend, wind transforms into rain. Things grow, transform, and mature. People suffer great heat and little Qi, muscle atrophy, foot flaccidity, and dysentery with red and white discharge.
5th Qi: Yang recovers and transforms, grass grows, transforms, and matures. People feel comfortable.
6th Qi: Earthly Qi is correct, Damp command acts. Yin condenses in the Great Void, dust dims the suburbs. People feel miserable, cold wind arrives. Counter-reactions cause death in gestation.
Therefore, for this year, it is suitable to use Bitter flavor to dry and warm. Must break the depressed Qi, first support its Hua Yuan (Source of Transformation), suppress its Yun Qi, assist what it cannot overcome. Do not let excessive force generate disease. Eat Sui Gu (Year Grain) to preserve True Qi, avoid Empty Evil to stabilize Zheng Qi. Adjust according to Qi similarity and difference, controlling quantity. Same as Cold-Damp: use Dry-Heat transformation. Different from Cold-Damp: use Dry-Damp transformation. Therefore, similar ones use more, different ones use less. When using Cold, stay away from Cold times; using Cool, stay away from Cool times; using Warm, stay away from Warm times; using Hot, stay away from Hot times. Diet follows the same method. If there is a false condition, reverse it. Reversing this causes disease. This is called "Time."
Huangdi said: Excellent. What is the governance of Yangming (Yang Brightness)? Qibo said: It is the record of Mao and You years.
Yangming (Dryness Metal on Heaven) Shaojue (Jueyin Windwood on Earth) Shaoyin (Heat governs) Clear-Heat and Rebound are same, same as Zheng Shang. Ding-Mao (Sui Hui) and Ding-You years. Its Yun is Wind, Clear, Heat.
Shaojue (Initial/Normal) Taireg Shaogong Taishang Shaoyu (Final)
Yangming Shaoreg Shaoyin Cold-Rain Overcome and Rebound are same, same as Zheng Shang. Gui-Mao (same Sui Hui) and Gui-You (same Sui Hui) years. Its Yun is Heat, Cold, Rain.
Shaoreg Taigong Shaoshang Taiyu (Final) Taijue (Initial)
Yangming Shaogong Shaoyin Wind-Cool Overcome and Rebound are same. Ji-Mao and Ji-You years. Its Yun is Rain, Wind, Cool.
Shaogong Taishang Shaoyu (Final) Shaojue (Initial) Taireg
Yangming Shaoshang Shaoyin Heat-Cold Overcome and Rebound are same, same as Zheng Shang. Yi-Mao (Tian Fu) and Yi-You (Sui Hui, Tai Yi Tian Fu) years. Its Yun is Cool, Heat, Cold.
Shaoshang Taiyu (Final) Taijue (Initial) Shaoreg Taigong
Yangming Shaoyu Shaoyin Rain-Wind Overcome and Rebound are same, same as Shao Gong. Xin-Mao and Xin-You years. Its Yun is Cold, Rain, Wind.
Shaoyu (Final) Shaojue (Initial) Taireg Shaogong Taishang
In all these Yangming ruling Heaven policies, Qi transformation operates posterior to Heaven (Hou Tian). Heavenly Qi is urgent, Earthly Qi is bright. Yang monopolizes the command, intense heat and summer run rampant. Objects become dry and hard. Pure wind governs. Wind and Dryness operate horizontally, flowing into the Qi intersection. More Yang, less Yin. Clouds approach the Rain House, Dampness transformation spreads. Dryness extreme turns to moisture. Grains are white and red. Intermittent grains commanded by Tai. Consumption affects white-shelled and feathered creatures. Metal and Fire combine in virtue, corresponding above to Bai Xing (Venus) and Ying Huo Xing (Mars). Its governance is cutting, its command is violent. Hibernating insects appear, flowing water does not freeze. People suffer cough, throat obstruction, onset of cold-heat, sudden tremors, and strangury. Clear Qi comes first and is strong, hair-like insects die. Heat comes later and violently, shell-covered insects suffer. Onset is restless. Overcome and rebound actions cause chaos. Clear-Heat Qi holds at the Qi intersection.
1st Qi: Earthly Qi migrates, Yin begins to condense, Qi becomes solemn, water freezes, cold-rain transforms. Disease: middle heat and distension, facial and eye swelling, sleepiness, rhinitis, sneezing, yawning, vomiting, yellow-red urine, severe cases strangury.
2nd Qi: Yang spreads, people relax, objects grow and flourish. Epidemics arrive greatly, people prone to sudden death.
3rd Qi: Heavenly governance spreads, Coolness moves, Dry-Heat combines. Dryness extreme turns to moisture. People suffer cold-heat.
4th Qi: Cold rain descends. Sudden collapse, tremors, delirium, little Qi, dry throat craving drink. Also heart pain, abscesses, sores, malaria chills. Bone flaccidity, bloody stool.
5th Qi: Spring command reverses, grass grows and flourishes. People's Qi is peaceful.
6th Qi: Yang spreads, climate warms unexpectedly, hibernating insects appear, flowing water does not freeze. People are healthy and peaceful, disease is Warmth.
Therefore, eat Sui Gu to calm Qi, eat Jian Gu (Intermittent Grain) to remove Evil. Year suitable for Salty, Bitter, Pungent flavors. Sweat, clear, scatter. Stabilize Yun Qi, prevent Evil invasion, break depressed Qi, nourish Hua Yuan. Regulate based on severity and quantity of Cold/Heat. Same as Heat: mostly Tian Hua. Same as Clear: mostly Di Hua. Use Cool away from Cool times, Hot away from Hot times, Cold away from Cold times, Warm away from Warm times. Diet follows same method. False conditions reverse. This is the Dao. Reversing this disrupts Heaven and Earth's classics and disturbs Yin-Yang's discipline.
Huangdi said: Excellent. What is the governance of Shaoyang (Lesser Yang)? Qibo said: It is the record of Yin and Shen years.
Shaoyang (Ministerial Fire on Heaven) Taijue (Jueyin Windwood on Earth) Jueyin (Wind governs) Ren-Yin (same Tian Fu) and Ren-Shen (same Tian Fu) years.

In all these Shaoyang ruling Heaven policies, Qi transformation operates prior to Heaven. Heavenly Qi is upright, Earthly Qi disturbs. Wind rises violently, trees fall, sand flies. Flames flow. Yin acts within Yang transformation, rain falls on time. Fire and Wood share virtue, corresponding above to Ying Huo Xing (Mars) and Sui Xing (Jupiter). Grains are red and green. Governance is strict, command is disturbing. Thus Wind-Heat mix, clouds boil. Taiyin flows horizontally, Cold arrives on time, cool rains rise together. People suffer cold in the middle, external sores, internal diarrhea/fullness. Thus Sages encounter it with harmony, not contention. Reciprocating actions cause people to suffer cold-heat malaria, diarrhea, deafness, blindness, vomiting. Upper oppression/swelling, color change.
1st Qi: Earthly Qi migrates, Wind wins and shakes, Cold departs, climate greatly warms, grass/trees bloom early. Cold comes but doesn't kill, Warm diseases start. Disease: Qi oppression above, blood overflow, red eyes, cough/reverse, headache, blood metrorrhagia, flank fullness, skin/interstice sores.
2nd Qi: Fire counter-depresses, white dust rises four directions, clouds approach Rain House, Wind cannot overcome Damp, rain falls, people are healthy. Disease: Heat depression above, cough/reverse vomiting, sores emerge in middle, chest/throat unfavorable, headache, body heat, confusion, pus-sores.
3rd Qi: Heavenly governance spreads, intense heat arrives, Shaoyang oversees above, rain ceases. People suffer internal heat, deafness/blindness, blood overflow, pus-sores, cough/vomiting, rhinitis, thirst, sneezing/yawning, bi-throat, red eyes, prone to sudden death.
4th Qi: Coolness arrives, heat intervals transform, white dew descends. People's Qi is peaceful, disease is whole-body heaviness.
5th Qi: Yang departs, Cold arrives, rain descends, Qi gates close. Hard wood withers early. People avoid Cold Evil, gentlemen are meticulous.
6th Qi: Earthly Qi is correct, Wind arrives, all things regenerate, fog/mist moves. Disease: closure incontinence, heart pain, Yang Qi not storing causing cough.
Suppress Yun Qi, praise what it cannot overcome. Must break depressed Qi, first take Hua Yuan. Violent excess does not arise, harsh diseases do not start.
Therefore, year suitable for Salty, Pungent, Sour flavors. Permeate, drain, soak, induce sweating. Observe Qi Cold/Warm to regulate excess. Same as Wind-Heat: more Cold transformation. Different from Wind-Heat: less Cold transformation. Use Hot away from Hot times, Warm away from Warm times, Cold away from Cold times, Cool away from Cool times. Diet follows same method. This is the Dao. False conditions reverse. Reversing this is the ladder to disease.
Huangdi said: Excellent. What is the governance of Taiyin (Greater Yin)? Qibo said: It is the record of Chou and Wei years.

In all these Taiyin ruling Heaven policies, Qi transformation operates posterior to Heaven. Yin monopolizes governance, Yang retreats. Great winds rise. Heavenly Qi descends, Earthly Qi ascends. Fields are dim, white dust rises four directions, clouds rush to South Pole. Cold rains come frequently. Objects mature in late summer. People suffer Cold-Damp, abdominal fullness, body swelling/oppression, fullness/reverse, cold厥 (Jue), cramping. Damp-Cold combine virtue, yellow-black dust dims, circulating in Qi intersection, corresponding above to Zhen Xing (Saturn) and Chen Xing. Governance is solemn, command is silent. Grains are black/dark. Thus Yin condenses above, Cold accumulates below. Cold-Water overcomes Fire, resulting in hail. Sunlight fails, killing Qi acts. Therefore, excess suits high places, deficiency suits low places. Excess suits late timing, deficiency suits early timing. This is Earth's benefit, Qi's transformation. People's Qi follows. Intermittent grains commanded by Tai.
1st Qi: Earthly Qi migrates, Cold departs, Spring Qi is correct, Wind comes. Life spreads, all things flourish. People's Qi is smooth. Wind-Damp clash, rain lags. People suffer blood overflow, tendon/lane cramping, joint disadvantage, body heaviness, tendon flaccidity.
2nd Qi: Great Fire is correct, objects receive transformation. People are harmonious. Disease: Warm epidemic spreads greatly, near and far alike. Damp steaming clashes, rain descends on time.
3rd Qi: Heavenly governance spreads, Damp Qi descends, Earthly Qi ascends. Rain descends on time, Cold follows. Contracting Cold-Damp, people suffer body heaviness/edema, chest/abdominal fullness.
4th Qi: Fear-Fire arrives, humid evaporation transforms. Earthly Qi ascends, Heavenly Qi blocks. Cold wind morning/evening. Steaming heat clashes. Grass/trees condense smoke. Damp transformation does not flow. White dew distributes yin, completing Autumn command. People suffer interstice heat, sudden blood overflow malaria, heart/abdominal fullness/heat/bloating, severe edema.
5th Qi: Cruel command acts, cold dew descends, frost falls early. Grass/trees yellow/fall. Cold reaches body. Gentlemen are meticulous. People suffer skin/interstice.
6th Qi: Cold greatly launches, Damp greatly transforms. Frost accumulates, Yin condenses. Water hardens to ice. Sunlight fails. Contracting Cold, patients suffer joint stiffness, waist/back pain. Cold-Damp pushes into Qi intersection causing disease.
Must break depressed Qi, take Hua Yuan. Benefit Sui Qi, prevent Evil victory. Eat Sui Gu to preserve True Qi, eat Jian Gu to protect Essence.
Therefore, year suitable for Bitter flavor to dry/warm. Severe cases: vent/drain. If not vented/drained, Damp Overflow externally, flesh ulcerates, skin splits, water/blood mix. Must praise Yang Fire, allow it to resist severe Cold. From Qi difference/similarity, judge quantity. Same Cold: use Heat transformation. Same Damp: use Dry transformation. Different: use less. Same: use more. Use Cool away from Cool, Cold away from Cold, Warm away from Warm, Hot away from Hot. Diet follows same method. False conditions reverse. This is the Dao. Reversing this causes disease.
