心血。冬七十二日,省盐增苦,以养其心也。
肝若嘘时目睁睛
嘘则通肝,去肝家一切热聚之气。故胆生于肝,而胆气不清,因肝之积热,故上攻眼目

归宅,肝为目之官,秋面青受克,辛多伤肝,秋七十二日,省辛增酸,以养肝气。
肾吹抱取膝头平

春季嘘字诀能明目,关键在于调理肝脏;夏至呵字诀能使心火自然清闲;秋季呬字诀可知能滋润金肺;冬季吹字诀只要使肾水(坎中)安宁;三焦嘻字诀却能消除烦热;四季长呼字诀能使脾胃运化饮食。切忌出声让口耳听到,其功效甚至胜过保神丹。
心呵字诀:头顶连叉手(举手时呵气,反手时吸气)。呵气则通达于心,去除心家一切热气,或者热气上攻眼目,或者面色发红,舌上生疮,或者口舌生疮。所以心是全身五官的主宰,发号施令,能使五官协调。所以上古之人恬淡虚无,真气顺从,精神内守,疾病从何而来?实在是因为志趣闲适而欲望少,内心安定而不恐惧,身体劳累而不疲倦的缘故。秋冬时节应当温暖涌泉穴,以免损伤心君。《素书》说:足寒伤心就是这种情况。澄清内心则神自清明,火自下降,这是火降源于神的清明。心通于舌,舌为心之官窍,舌是心的苗窍,也是神的居所,又是血之海,所以血少则心神恍惚,睡眠不宁。冬天面色红受克,所以盐多伤心血。冬季七十二日,减少盐分增加苦味,以养护心脏。
肝嘘字诀:眼睛睁大。嘘气则通达于肝,去除肝家一切热聚之气。所以胆生于肝,如果胆气不清,是因为肝的积热,所以上攻眼目。大嘘三十次,一补一泻,则眼睛增光,不生眼屎。所以目通于肝,肝是魂的宅舍,夜间睡觉眼闭,则魂归宅,肝为目之官窍。秋天面色青受克,辛味多伤肝,秋季七十二日,减少辛味增加酸味,以养护肝气。
肾吹字诀:抱取膝头平。吹气则通达于肾,去除肾中一切虚热之气,或者目昏耳聋,补泻得宜,则肾气自然调和。所以肾通于耳,耳为肾之官窍,耳朵听声音会耗精,不可听淫声。大吹三十次,热擦肾堂(腰部),四季各十八日,面色黑受克,甘味多伤肾。所以在季月各十八日,减少甘味增加盐分,以养护肾气。
肺呬字诀:双手擎举。呬气则通达于肺,去除肺家一切所积之气,或者感受风寒咳嗽,或者鼻流涕,或者鼻热生疮,或者鼻塞严重。一补一泻,则肺气自然升降。肺是心的华盖,最喜欢清净,所以肺清则不生疾病。肺通于鼻,鼻为肺之官窍,肺是魄的居所。夏天面色白受克,苦属火,肺属金,夏季七十二日,减少苦味增加辛味,以养护肺气。
脾呼字诀:须撮口。呼气则通达于脾,去除脾家一切浊气。所以口臭四肢生疮,或者面色黄脾家有积滞,或者吃冷物,积聚不能消化,所以脾为仓廪之官,又参与血的生成。所以饮食不调,则不生血,四肢不动则脾困顿。所以夜间少吃,睡觉时脾不运动,导致宿食,则疾病产生。脾为四季之官,是意的宅舍,所以意不可以妄动,动则浩然之气不能清明。春天面色黄受克,春季七十二日,减少酸味增加甘味,以养护脾气。
三焦嘻字诀:卧姿嘻嘻。嘻气则通达于胆(注:原文此处逻辑有误,三焦通常对应嘻,但文中写通胆,依原文翻译),去除胆中一切客热之气,所以卧床时常嘻,能去除一身之客热,补泻得当,胆气自然清明,目不生眵,胆怕热,四时饮食,热的食物少吃,上膈无积滞,使胆气清爽。
[Diagram of the Functions of the Five Zang Organs and Their Correspondence to the Five Elements]
In spring, the "Xu" (Hissing) sound clarifies vision by regulating the Liver. At summer solstice, the "He" (Ah) sound naturally calms Heart Fire. In autumn, the "Si" (Sighing) sound moistens the Metal Lungs. In winter, the "Chui" (Blowing) sound ensures the peace of Kidney Water (Kan). The "Xi" (Giggling) sound eliminates irritability and heat from the Sanjiao (Triple Burner). Throughout the four seasons, long exhalation via the "Hu" (Purring) sound aids the Spleen in digesting food. One must avoid making audible sounds that reach the ears; its efficacy surpasses even that of the Shenbao Pill.
Heart He Sound: Hands crossed above the head (raise hands while exhaling "He", turn palms back while inhaling). Exhaling "He" unblocks the Heart, removing all excessive heat from the Heart system. This heat may attack the eyes, cause facial redness, sores on the tongue, or mouth ulcers. Thus, the Heart is the master of the five sense organs, issuing commands that coordinate them. Therefore, in ancient times, people were tranquil and void of desire, allowing True Qi to follow, spirit to remain inwardly guarded, and diseases to have no origin. This is because their will was calm with few desires, their hearts were at peace without fear, and their bodies labored without exhaustion. During autumn and winter, one should warm the Yongquan (KI 1) acupoint to prevent injury to the Heart Monarch. The *Su Shu* states: "Cold feet injure the Heart." Clarifying the mind leads to clear spirit, which causes Fire to descend; thus, Fire descends due to the clarity of the Spirit. The Heart connects with the tongue, which is the official organ of the Heart, the sprout of the Heart, the residence of the Spirit, and the sea of Blood. Therefore, when Blood is deficient, the Spirit becomes erratic and sleep is restless. In winter, a red face indicates being overcome by Water (Kidney), so excessive salt damages Heart Blood. During the 72 days of winter, reduce salt and increase bitter flavors to nourish the Heart.
Liver Xu Sound: Open the eyes wide. Exhaling "Xu" unblocks the Liver, removing all stagnant heat from the Liver system. The Gallbladder is born from the Liver; if Gallbladder Qi is unclear, it is due to accumulated heat in the Liver attacking the eyes. Perform thirty forceful "Xu" exhalations, alternating tonification and sedation, to brighten the eyes and prevent eye discharge. The eyes connect with the Liver, which is the residence of the Hun (Ethereal Soul). When sleeping at night with eyes closed, the Hun returns to its residence. The Liver is the official organ of the eyes. In autumn, a greenish face indicates being overcome by Metal (Lung), so excessive pungent flavors damage the Liver. During the 72 days of autumn, reduce pungent flavors and increase sour flavors to nourish Liver Qi.
Kidney Chui Sound: Embrace the knees flat. Exhaling "Chui" unblocks the Kidneys, removing all deficiency-heat from the Kidney system, such as dim vision or deafness. With proper tonification and sedation, Kidney Qi regulates itself. The Kidneys connect with the ears, which are the official organs of the Kidneys. Listening consumes Essence; one should not listen to licentious sounds. Perform thirty forceful "Chui" exhalations and rub the Kidney area (lower back) until warm. During the eighteen days of each season transition, a black face indicates being overcome by Wood (Liver), so excessive sweet flavors damage the Kidneys. Therefore, during the eighteen days of each季月 (seasonal transition month), reduce sweet flavors and increase salt to nourish Kidney Qi.
Lung Si Sound: Raise both hands. Exhaling "Si" unblocks the Lungs, removing all accumulated Qi from the Lung system, whether due to wind-cold cough, runny nose, nasal heat with sores, or severe nasal congestion. Alternating tonification and sedation allows Lung Qi to ascend and descend naturally. The Lungs are the canopy over the Heart, preferring clarity; thus, clear Lungs do not generate disease. The Lungs connect with the nose, which is the official organ of the Lungs, and the Lungs are the residence of the Po (Corporeal Soul). In summer, a pale face indicates being overcome by Fire (Heart). Bitter belongs to Fire, Lungs belong to Metal. During the 72 days of summer, reduce bitter flavors and increase pungent flavors to nourish Lung Qi.
Spleen Hu Sound: Pucker the mouth. Exhaling "Hu" unblocks the Spleen, removing all turbid Qi from the Spleen system. This addresses bad breath, sores on limbs, yellow complexion with Spleen accumulation, or indigestion from cold foods. Thus, the Spleen is the official of the granaries and participates in blood generation. If diet is irregular, blood is not generated; if limbs do not move, the Spleen becomes sluggish. Eating little at night prevents the Spleen from being inactive during sleep, avoiding food stagnation and disease. The Spleen is the official of the four seasons and the residence of the Yi (Intellect). Therefore, the Yi should not move recklessly, as this clouds the Hao Ran Zhi Qi (Noble Breath). In spring, a yellow face indicates being overcome by Earth (Spleen) imbalance or Wood overcoming Earth; during the 72 days of spring, reduce sour flavors and increase sweet flavors to nourish Spleen Qi.
Sanjiao Xi Sound: Lie down and giggle. Exhaling "Xi" unblocks the Gallbladder (Note: Text attributes Xi to Gallbladder here, though traditionally Sanjiao), removing all pathogenic heat from the Gallbladder. Lying down and giggling removes pathogenic heat from the whole body. With proper tonification and sedation, Gallbladder Qi clears, eyes do not produce discharge, and since the Gallbladder fears heat, one should eat less hot food throughout the four seasons to prevent upper Jiao accumulation and keep Gallbladder Qi fresh.
