午未酉戌亥及寅。正化从本其数生。子丑寅卯巳及申。对化从标其数成。正化令实胜无
复。对化令虚胜复行。运从成数皆因少。生数都缘太与平。

各七十二循环毕。主运木火土金水。运生一运周而始。阳年起太阴年少。太少之各相间起。
角征宫商羽迭排。每年自觉轮无已。欲推客气寻谁问。当年运是初之运。五音支小逐阴阳。
运运相生体前论。
五太之年虽异纪。司天止有羽与征。太角运与上商同。上征逢时气逆冲。戊火然为太征

上羽还同正征议。大征更见征司天。收气必晚难齐至。太商若更遇上征。便与正商无少异。
运或本羽见上羽。长气不化乖常度。唯大宫年本气专。更无他候夺其权。纵逢上羽及上征。
终莫亏盈土化宣。
五少之年从鬼化。司天唯有角商宫。若逢相克比和者。更逐天音与正同。
辛一丁三己五中。乙七癸九是灾宫。胜从各分时与位。谁知五脏与宫同。
土火之郁发于四。金发于五为常事。木郁之发无相期。水郁二火前后至。气有多少发微

微厥下承如气应。盛者差三十度奇。气犹未去乖常令。运太过者其至先。运不及者其至后。
当先反后后反先。发不如期是灾咎。木达火发土夺之。金泄水为之折制。观其虚盛与调之。
过者折之以其畏。咸泻肾兮酸泻肝。甘泻脾兮辛泻肺。苦泻心兮自古同。客胜无妨假其气。
午、未、酉、戌、亥及寅月，正化从本，其数为生数。子、丑、寅、卯、巳及申月，对化从标，其数为成数。正化令气实而胜气无复气；对化令气虚而胜复之气行。运气遵循成数皆因少阴/少阳（少），生数都缘太阴/太阳与平气。
初之气始于大寒前，无改易。二之气始于清明前三日。三之气始于夏至前五日。四之气始于处暑后七日。五之气始于立冬后五日。
各七十二候循环完毕。主运为木、火、土、金、水。运始于一运周而复始。阳年起于太角，阴年起于少角。太少之声各自相间而起。角、徵、宫、商、羽依次排列。每年自觉轮转无已。欲推客气寻谁问？当年运是初之运。五音配地支小大逐阴阳。运运相生体前论。

Months of Wu, Wei, You, Xu, Hai, and Yin: Zheng-hua (Orthodox Transformation) follows the Ben (Root), and its number is the Sheng-number (Generating Number). Months of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Si, and Shen: Dui-hua (Counterpart Transformation) follows the Biao (Mark), and its number is the Cheng-number (Completing Number). Zheng-hua makes Qi substantial, so there is no Fu-qi (Rebound Qi); Dui-hua makes Qi deficient, so Sheng-Fu (Victory and Repression) qi moves. Yun (Movement) follows the Cheng-number because of Shao (Less); the Sheng-number arises from Tai (Greater) and Ping (Balanced).
The first Qi begins at Da Han (Great Cold) without change. The second Qi begins three days before Qing Ming (Clear Brightness). The third Qi begins five days before Xia Zhi (Summer Solstice). The fourth Qi begins seven days after Chu Shu (Limit of Heat). The fifth Qi begins five days after Li Dong (Start of Winter).
Each cycle completes 72 Hou (5-day periods). The Zhu-yun (Main Movement) consists of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. The Yun starts with one movement and cycles round. Yang years start with Tai-jue (Great Jue), Yin years start with Shao-jue (Less Jue). Tai and Shao sounds rise alternately. Jue, Zhi, Gong, Shang, Yu are arranged in turn. Every year, it feels like an endless rotation. To deduce the Ke-qi (Adventitious Qi), who to ask? The Yun of that year is the initial Yun. The five tones and earthly branches follow Yin and Yang according to their size. Yun generates Yun, as discussed in the previous theory.
In years of Five Tai (Five Greats), although the records differ, the Si-tian (Heavenly Ruler) only has Yu and Zhi. Tai-jue Yun is the same as Upper Shang. When Upper Zhi meets, Qi rushes counter-currently. In years of Wu Fire, it is a Tai-Zhi year. Upper Yu is still discussed similarly to Zheng-Zhi. If Great Zhi appears with Zhi as Si-tian, the Harvest Qi will surely be late and difficult to arrive on time. If Tai-Shang meets Upper Zhi, it is no different from Zheng-Shang. If Yun originally Yu sees Upper Yu, the Long Qi does not transform, violating normal measures. Only in Da-Gong years is the Ben-qi (Root Qi) exclusive. No other Hou can seize its power. Even if meeting Upper Yu and Upper Zhi, ultimately the Earth transformation cannot be diminished or increased; it remains prosperous.
In years of Five Shao (Five Lessees), they follow Gui-hua (Ghost Transformation). The Si-tian only has Jue, Shang, and Gong. If encountering mutual overcoming or harmonizing, further follow the Heavenly Tone and align with the Zheng (Standard).
Xin is one, Ding is three, Ji is five in the middle. Yi is seven, Gui is nine; these are Zai-gong (Disaster Palaces). Victory follows each division of Time and Position. Who knows that the Five Zang-organs correspond to the Gong?
The depression of Earth and Fire erupts in the fourth season. The eruption of Metal in the fifth season is a common matter. The eruption of Wood depression has no fixed expectation. The eruption of Water and Fire arrives sequentially. The amount of Qi varies, leading to minor or major eruptions. Minor eruptions are supported below, responding like Qi. Major eruptions differ by more than thirty degrees. If Qi has not yet departed, it violates normal orders. When Yun is Taiguo (Excessive), its arrival is early. When Yun is Buji (Deficient), its arrival is late. It should be reversed: late becomes early, early becomes late. Erupting out of due time is a disaster omen. Wood reaches, Fire erupts, Earth snatches. Metal leaks, Water restricts and controls. Observe the deficiency and excess and regulate them. For those in excess, restrain them with what they fear. Salty drains Kidney, Sour drains Liver. Sweet drains Spleen, Pungent drains Lung. Bitter drains Heart, this has been the same since ancient times. Adventitious victory causes no harm, borrow its Qi.
