故民病胃脘当心而痛,四肢、两胁、咽膈不通,饮食不下,甚则耳鸣眩转,目
不识人,善僵仆,筋骨强直而不用,卒倒而无所知也。
故民病少气、疮疡、痈肿,胁肋、胸背、首面、四肢
胪胀,疡痱呕逆,螈 ,骨痛节疼,及有动泄注下,温疟,腹中暴痛,血溢流注,精液衰少,目赤心热,
甚则瞀闷,懊恼
故民病咳逆,心腹满引少腹,善暴痛,不可反侧,嗌干,面尘色恶,金胜而木病也。
故民病寒客心痛,腰椎痛,大关节不利,屈伸不便,善厥,痞坚腹满,阴乘阳故也。
自大寒至立春、春分,厥阴风木之位,阳用事而气微。故曰∶少阳得甲子,元头常准
,以大寒交初之气,分以六周,甲子以应六气,下傲一月。正月、二月少阳,三阴三阳亦同。
小满至大暑,少阳相火之位。阳气发,万物俱成,故亦云太阳旺。其脉洪大而
长,天气并万物,人脉盛衰。造物造化亦同。
大暑至秋分,太阴湿土之位。天气吉感,夏后阴已用事,故曰∶太阴旺。此三阴
三阳,与天气标本阴阳异矣。脉缓大而长。燥金旺,紧细短涩。以万物干燥,明可见矣。
因此,民众易患胃脘部当心而痛,四肢、两胁、咽膈部位不通畅,饮食难以下咽,严重时出现耳鸣、眩晕,视物不清甚至不识人,容易突然僵倒,筋骨强直而不能活动,突然昏倒且不知人事。
因此,民众易患气短、疮疡、痈肿,胁肋、胸背、头面、四肢肿胀,皮肤溃烂、中风瘫痪、呕吐呃逆,抽搐,骨痛关节疼痛,以及有腹泻如水注下,温疟,腹部突然剧痛,血液溢出如水流注,精液衰少,眼睛发红、心中烦热,严重时出现神志昏蒙闷乱,心中懊恼不舒。
因此,民众易患心腹胀满,腹中鸣响并频繁排便,严重时心痛、胁痛。
因此,民众易患咳嗽气逆,心腹胀满牵引至小腹,容易突发剧痛,身体不能左右翻转,咽喉干燥,面色如蒙尘且色泽晦暗,这是金气胜而木气病的表现。
因此,民众易患寒邪客于心脏导致心痛,腰椎疼痛,大关节不利,屈伸不便,容易厥逆,痞块坚硬、腹部胀满,这是阴气乘袭阳气的缘故。
从大寒到立春、春分,是厥阴风木当令之位,阳气开始主事但气势微弱。所以说:少阳得到甲子之日,岁首通常以此为准,以大寒交接初之气,分为六个周期,甲子对应六气,下临一个月。正月、二月属少阳,三阴三阳的情况也相同。
从春分到小满,是少阴君火当令之位。此时阳气清明,又处于阳明之位。
从小满到大暑,是少阳相火当令之位。阳气发散,万物成熟,所以也称为太阳旺盛。其脉象洪大而长,天气与万物相应,人脉的盛衰也是如此。造化的规律也是一样的。
从大暑到秋分,是太阴湿土当令之位。天气感应吉祥,夏季过后阴气已开始主事,所以称为太阴旺盛。这三阴三阳,与天气标本阴阳有所不同。脉象缓大而长。燥金旺盛时,脉象紧细短涩。因为万物干燥,这明显可见。
Therefore, the people may suffer from pain in the epigastrium corresponding to the heart, obstruction in the four limbs, hypochondriac regions, pharynx, and diaphragm, difficulty in swallowing food, and in severe cases, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), vertigo (dizziness and spinning sensation), blindness or inability to recognize people, tendency to stiffen and fall suddenly, rigidity of sinews and bones with loss of function, sudden collapse with loss of consciousness.
Therefore, the people may suffer from shortness of breath (Qi deficiency), sores and ulcers, carbuncles and swelling, distension in the hypochondriac, chest, back, head, face, and four limbs, skin lesions, apoplexy (stroke), vomiting and hiccups, convulsions, bone pain and joint ache, as well as diarrhea resembling a water flow, warm malaria (Wen Nue), sudden severe abdominal pain, hemorrhage flowing like water, depletion of essence and fluid, red eyes and heart heat, and in severe cases, mental confusion and oppression, inner restlessness and vexation.
Therefore, the people may suffer from fullness and distension in the heart and abdomen, borborygmus (abdominal rumbling) with frequent defecation, and in severe cases, heart pain and hypochondriac pain.
Therefore, the people may suffer from cough and rebellious Qi, fullness in the heart and abdomen radiating to the lower abdomen, tendency for sudden severe pain, inability to turn the body left or right, dry throat, dusty and dull complexion. This is because Metal is excessive and Wood is diseased.
Therefore, the people may suffer from cold pathogen invading the heart causing heart pain, lumbar spine pain, stiffness and inconvenience in large joints, tendency for syncope (Jue), hard masses and abdominal fullness. This is because Yin invades Yang.
From Da Han (Great Cold) to Li Chun (Start of Spring) and Chun Fen (Spring Equinox), it is the position of Jueyin Wind-Wood. Yang Qi begins to govern but its energy is slight. Thus it is said: When Shaoyang receives the Jiazi day, the beginning of the year is usually calculated based on this, starting with Da Han at the first Qi, divided into six cycles. Jiazi corresponds to the Six Qi, extending downwards for one month. The first and second months belong to Shaoyang, and the situation of the Three Yin and Three Yang is the same.
From Chun Fen (Spring Equinox) to Xiao Man (Grain Buds), it is the position of Shaoyin Ministerial Fire. Between the clarity of Yang Qi, it is also the position of Yangming.
From Xiao Man (Grain Buds) to Da Shu (Great Heat), it is the position of Shaoyang Ministerial Fire. Yang Qi expands, and all things mature; thus it is also called Taiyang Prosperous. Its pulse is surging, large, and long. The weather and all things correspond; the flourishing and decline of human pulses are similar. The creation and transformation follow the same pattern.
From Da Shu (Great Heat) to Qiu Fen (Autumn Equinox), it is the position of Taiyin Damp-Earth. The weather responds auspiciously; after summer, Yin Qi has begun to govern, thus it is called Taiyin Prosperous. These Three Yin and Three Yang differ from the Heaven-Weather Mark and Root Yin-Yang. The pulse is slow, large, and long. When Dry-Metal is prosperous, the pulse is tight, fine, short, and choppy. Since all things are dry, this is clearly visible.
From Qiu Fen (Autumn Equinox) to Xiao Xue (Minor Snow), it is the position of Yangming Dry-Metal. Qi declines and Yin becomes abundant, thus it is said that Metal Qi is prosperous, and its pulse is fine and minute.
