黄帝问曰∶天有八风,经有五风,何谓?岐伯
对曰∶八风发邪,以为经风,触五脏,邪气发病。所谓得四时之胜者,春胜长夏,长夏胜冬,冬胜夏,夏胜
秋,秋胜春,所谓四时之胜也。东风生于春,病在肝,俞在颈项;南风生于夏,病在心,俞在胸胁;西风生于
秋,病在肺,俞在肩背;北风生于冬,病在肾,俞在腰股;中央为土,病在脾,俞在脊。故春气者病在头,夏
气者病在脏,秋气者病在肩背,冬气者病在四肢。故春善病鼽衄,仲夏善病胸胁,长夏善病洞泄寒中,秋善病
风疟,冬善病痹厥。故
冬不按跷,春不鼽衄,春不病颈项,仲夏不病胸胁,长夏不病洞泄寒中,秋不病风疟,冬不病痹厥,飧泄,
而汗出也。夫精者,身之本也。故藏于精者,春不病温。夏暑汗不出者,秋成风疟。此平人脉法也。
故曰∶阴中有阴,阳中有阳。平旦至日中,天之阳,阳中之阳也;日中至黄昏,天之阳,阳中之阴也;合
夜至鸡鸣,天之阴,阴中之阴也;鸡鸣至平旦,天之阴,阴中之阳也。故人亦应之。夫言人之阴阳,则外为阳,
内为阴。言人身之阴阳,则背为阳,腹为
阴。言人身之脏腑中阴阳,则脏者为阴,腑者为阳。肝心脾肺肾五脏皆为阴,胆胃大肠小肠膀胱三焦六腑皆为
阳。所以欲知阴中之阴阳中之阳者何也?为冬病在阴,夏病在阳,春病在阴,秋病在阳,皆视其所在,为施针
石也。故背为阳,阳中之阳,心也;背为阳,阳中之阴,肺也;腹为阴,阴中之阴,肾也;腹为阴,阴中之阳,
肝也;腹为阴,阴中之至阴,脾也。此皆阴阳表里内外雌雄相输应也,故以应天之阴阳也。
帝曰∶五脏应四时,各有收受乎?岐伯曰∶有。东方青色,入通于肝,开窍于目,藏精于肝,其病发
惊骇,其味酸,其类草木,其畜鸡,其谷麦,其应四时,上为岁星,是以春气在头也,其音角,其数八,是以
知病之在筋也,其臭臊。南方赤色,入通于心,开窍于耳,藏精于心,故病在五脏,其味苦,其类火,其畜羊,
其谷黍,其应四时,上为荧
惑星,是以知病之在脉也,其音征,其数七,其臭焦。中央黄色,入通于脾,开窍于口,藏精于脾,故病在舌
本,其味甘,其类土,其畜牛,其谷稷。其应四时,上为镇星,是以知病之在肉也,其音宫,其数五,其臭香,
西方白色,入通于肺,开窍于鼻,藏精于肺,故病在背,其味辛,其类
金,其畜马,其谷稻,其应四时,上为太白星,是以知病之在皮毛也,其音商,其数九,其臭腥,北方黑色,
入通于肾,开窍于二阴,藏精于肾,故病在溪,其味咸,其类水,其畜彘。其谷豆。其应四时,上为辰星,
是以知病之在骨也。其音羽,
其数六,其臭腐,故善为脉者,谨察五脏六腑,一逆一从,阴阳、表里、雌雄之纪,藏之心意,合心于精,
非其人勿教,非其真勿授,是谓得道。

Huangdi asked: "There are eight winds in nature and five winds affecting the meridians. What does this mean?" Qibo replied: "The evil qi induced by the eight winds enters the meridians, becoming wind pathogens of the meridians, which then disturb the five zang organs, causing disease. The so-called 'victory of the four seasons' refers to the mutual overcoming relationship among them: Spring overcomes Late Summer, Late Summer overcomes Winter, Winter overcomes Summer, Summer overcomes Autumn, and Autumn overcomes Spring. This is known as the victory of the four seasons. East wind arises in Spring, with pathology located in the Liver (Gan), its transport points situated at the neck and nape; South wind arises in Summer, with pathology located in the Heart (Xin), its transport points situated at the chest and hypochondrium; West wind arises in Autumn, with pathology located in the Lung (Fei), its transport points situated at the shoulder and back; North wind arises in Winter, with pathology located in the Kidney (Shen), its transport points situated at the waist and thighs; The Center belongs to Earth, with pathology located in the Spleen (Pi), its transport points situated at the spine. Therefore, when Spring qi is abnormal, disease occurs in the head; when Summer qi is abnormal, disease occurs in the zang organs; when Autumn qi is abnormal, disease occurs in the shoulder and back; when Winter qi is abnormal, disease occurs in the four limbs. Thus, in Spring, one is prone to rhinitis (Qiu) and epistaxis (Nu); in mid-Summer, one is prone to chest and hypochondriac diseases; in Late Summer, one is prone to profuse diarrhea (Dongxie) and cold in the middle jiao; in Autumn, one is prone to wind-malaria (Fengnue); in Winter, one is prone to Bi syndrome and Jue (numbness and cold extremities). Therefore, if one does not perform excessive massage or Dao Yin exercises in Winter, there will be no rhinitis or epistaxis in Spring, nor neck and nape diseases; in mid-Summer, there will be no chest and hypochondriac diseases; in Late Summer, no profuse diarrhea or cold in the middle jiao; in Autumn, no wind-malaria; in Winter, no Bi syndrome, Jue, Sunxi (undigested food in stool), or excessive sweating. Essence (Jing) is the root of the body. Therefore, those who preserve their essence will not suffer from Warm diseases (Wenbing) in Spring. If sweat is not released during the summer heat, wind-malaria will develop in Autumn. This is the pulse method for healthy individuals.
Thus it is said: There is Yin within Yin, and Yang within Yang. From dawn to noon, this is Heaven's Yang, specifically Yang within Yang; from noon to dusk, this is Heaven's Yang, specifically Yang within Yin; from twilight to midnight, this is Heaven's Yin, specifically Yin within Yin; from midnight to dawn, this is Heaven's Yin, specifically Yin within Yang. Humans correspond to this. When discussing human Yin and Yang, the exterior is Yang and the interior is Yin. When discussing the Yin and Yang of the human body, the back is Yang and the abdomen is Yin. When discussing the Yin and Yang within the zang-fu organs, the zang organs are Yin and the fu organs are Yang. The Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney (five zang organs) are all Yin; the Gallbladder, Stomach, Large Intestine, Small Intestine, Bladder, and Sanjiao (six fu organs) are all Yang. Why do we need to understand Yin-within-Yin and Yin-within-Yang? Because diseases in Winter are in the Yin aspect, diseases in Summer are in the Yang aspect, diseases in Spring are in the Yin aspect, and diseases in Autumn are in the Yang aspect. One must observe the location of the disease to apply acupuncture or Bian stone therapy accordingly. Therefore, the back is Yang; Yang within Yang is the Heart; the back is Yang; Yang within Yin is the Lung; the abdomen is Yin; Yin within Yin is the Kidney; the abdomen is Yin; Yin within Yang is the Liver; the abdomen is Yin; Yin within Supreme Yin is the Spleen. These are all corresponding relationships among Yin-Yang, Interior-Exterior, Inside-Outside, and Male-Female, thus corresponding to the Yin-Yang of Heaven.
The Emperor asked: "Do the five zang organs correspond to the four seasons, each having specific correspondences?" Qibo answered: "Yes. The color Green corresponds to the East, entering into communication with the Liver, opening through the eyes, storing essence in the Liver. Its diseases manifest as fright and palpitations. Its taste is Sour. Its category is Wood/Plants. Its animal is the Chicken. Its grain is Wheat. It corresponds to the seasons, appearing above as the Star Jupiter (Suixing). Therefore, Spring qi is concentrated in the head. Its musical note is Jue. Its number is Eight. From this, we know that disease is in the sinews. Its odor is Fishy. The color Red corresponds to the South, entering into communication with the Heart, opening through the ears, storing essence in the Heart. Thus, disease is in the five zang organs. Its taste is Bitter. Its category is Fire. Its animal is the Sheep. Its grain is Millet. It corresponds to the seasons, appearing above as the Star Mars (Yinghuo). Therefore, we know that disease is in the vessels. Its musical note is Zhi. Its number is Seven. Its odor is Scorched. The color Yellow corresponds to the Center, entering into communication with the Spleen, opening through the mouth, storing essence in the Spleen. Thus, disease is at the root of the tongue. Its taste is Sweet. Its category is Earth. Its animal is the Ox. Its grain is Ji (Broomcorn millet). It corresponds to the seasons, appearing above as the Star Saturn (Zhenxing). Therefore, we know that disease is in the flesh. Its musical note is Gong. Its number is Five. Its odor is Fragrant. The color White corresponds to the West, entering into communication with the Lung, opening through the nose, storing essence in the Lung. Thus, disease is on the back. Its taste is Pungent. Its category is Metal. Its animal is the Horse. Its grain is Rice. It corresponds to the seasons, appearing above as the Star Venus (Taibai). Therefore, we know that disease is in the skin and hair. Its musical note is Shang. Its number is Nine. Its odor is Raw/Fishy. The color Black corresponds to the North, entering into communication with the Kidney, opening through the two yin orifices (urethra and anus), storing essence in the Kidney. Thus, disease is in the muscle clefts (Xi). Its taste is Salty. Its category is Water. Its animal is the Pig. Its grain is Beans. It corresponds to the seasons, appearing above as the Star Mercury (Chenxing). Therefore, we know that disease is in the bones. Its musical note is Yu. Its number is Six. Its odor is Rotten. Therefore, those skilled in pulse diagnosis carefully observe the five zang and six fu organs, discerning compliance and rebellion, mastering the principles of Yin-Yang, Interior-Exterior, and Male-Female. They store these in their minds, focusing their hearts on precision. They do not teach unless the person is suitable, and they do not transmit unless it is the true lineage. This is called attaining the Dao.
