子午之岁。(壬子 壬午 戊子 戊午 甲子 庚子 庚午 丙子 丙午 甲午)
少阴君火司天,岁气热化之候。司天者,天之气也。阳明燥金在泉,在泉者,地之气侯也。
君火者,手少阴心经也。心者,君主之官,神明出焉。君火乃人身之主宰,阳气之本,余象主土,
乃发生万物之源。少阴司天,其化以热。凡炎蒸郁燠,庶类蕃茂,皆君火之化,而阳光明耀,温
养万物。热淫于上,故火行其政。君火之下,阴精承之,故大雨且至。民病胸中烦热嗌干等症。
皆君火上炎,肺金受伤也。金气主右,故右胁满。按经脉篇以溺色变,肩臂背 及缺盆中痛,肺
胀满,膨膨而喘咳,为手太阴肺经病。鼽衄,肩前 痛,为手阳明大肠经病。盖肺与大肠为表里,
金被火伤,故诸病皆主于肺也。尺泽穴,手太阴肺脉也。在肘内廉大纹中,动脉应手。金不胜火,
则肺气竭,而尺泽绝,故死不治。羽虫属火,同天之气,故安静。介虫属金,同地之气,故育。
金气在地,则木衰,故毛虫胎孕不成。
阳明燥金在泉,地之气候也。金气燥淫胜于下, 雾清暝。民病喜呕,呕而苦,善太息,心
胁痛,不能转侧,甚则嗌干,面尘身无膏泽,足外反热,为足少阳胆经病。嗌干面尘,为厥阴肝
经病。此以金邪淫胜,故肝胆受伤,为病如此。介虫属金,同其气故育。毛虫属木,受其制故耗。
金火之气不相合,故羽虫不成。燥金在泉,燥在地中,故湿毒之物不生。
子年和午年。(包括壬子、壬午、戊子、戊午、甲子、庚子、庚午、丙子、丙午、甲午等年份)
少阴君火主管司天之气,这是岁气呈现热化特征的时期。所谓“司天”,指的是天上的气候之气。阳明燥金主管在泉之气,所谓“在泉”,指的是地下的气候特征。
君火,对应手少阴心经。心,是君主之官,精神意识由此产生。君火是人体生命活动的主宰,也是阳气的根本,其象类比于土,是万物生长的源头。当少阴君火主管司天时,其气化作用表现为热。凡是炎热蒸腾、闷热郁结,使得各类生物繁茂生长,都是君火气化的结果;阳光明亮照耀,温养万物,也是如此。热气弥漫于上,因此火行使政令。在君火之下,有阴精来制约承顺,所以大雨将会降临。民众容易患上胸中烦闷发热、咽喉干燥等症状。这都是因为君火上炎,导致肺金受伤的缘故。金气主司右侧,所以会出现右胁部胀满。根据《经脉篇》的记载,小便颜色改变,肩臂背部及缺盆中疼痛,肺部胀满,膨隆且气喘咳嗽,属于手太阴肺经的病证。鼻塞流涕或鼻出血,肩前部疼痛,属于手阳明大肠经的病证。大概是因为肺与大肠互为表里,金属性被火邪所伤,所以各种病症都主要归因于肺。尺泽穴,属于手太阴肺经的脉气所在。位于肘内侧大纹中,脉搏跳动应手可感。如果金不能胜火,那么肺气就会衰竭,尺泽脉绝,就会导致死亡且无法医治。羽虫(鸟类)属火,与天的气候之气相同,所以它们保持安静。介虫(带壳动物)属金,与地的地气相同,所以它们繁衍生长。金气在地中旺盛,则木气衰弱,所以毛虫(哺乳类)的胎孕无法成形。
阳明燥金主管在泉之气,这是地下的气候特征。金气的燥性在下部过度盛行,导致雾气清冷昏暗。民众容易患上喜欢呕吐、呕吐带有苦味、经常叹气、心部和胁肋部疼痛、身体不能随意转侧等症状,严重时会出现咽喉干燥、面色如蒙尘垢、身体失去光泽、足外侧反常发热,这些属于足少阳胆经的病证。咽喉干燥、面色如蒙尘垢,属于厥阴肝经的病证。这是因为金邪过度盛行,导致肝胆受伤,从而出现上述病症。介虫属金,与金气相同,所以它们繁衍生长。毛虫属木,受到金的克制,所以它们损耗减少。金和火的气机不相融合,所以羽虫无法繁殖。燥金在泉,燥气存在于地中,所以湿毒性质的物体无法生成。
In the years of Zi and Wu (including Ren-Zi, Ren-Wu, Wu-Zi, Wu-Wu, Jia-Zi, Geng-Zi, Geng-Wu, Bing-Zi, Bing-Wu, Jia-Wu),
Shaoyin Junhuo (Ministerial Fire) governs the Si Tian (Heavenly Qi). This is a period where the annual climate exhibits thermal transformation. "Si Tian" refers to the atmospheric qi of heaven. Yangming Zaojin (Dry Metal) governs the Zai Quan (Earthly Qi). "Zai Quan" refers to the climatic characteristics of the earth.
Junhuo corresponds to the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian. The Heart is the official of the sovereign, from which Shen Ming (Spiritual Consciousness) emerges. Junhuo is the master of human physiology and the root of Yang Qi; its elemental correspondence is Earth, serving as the source for the generation of all things. When Shaoyin Junhuo governs Si Tian, its transformation manifests as Heat. All phenomena such as intense heat, stifling warmth, and the lush growth of various species are transformations of Junhuo; likewise, the bright shining sunlight warms and nourishes all things. When Heat overflows above, Fire exercises its administration. Below Junhuo, Yin Jing (Essence) acts in subordination and support, thus heavy rains will arrive. The people may suffer from symptoms such as chest irritability and heat, and dry throat. These are caused by Junhuo flaming upward, injuring Lung Metal. Metal Qi governs the right side, hence fullness in the right hypochondrium. According to the *Jing Mai* chapter, changes in urine color, pain in the shoulder, arm, back, and suprasternal fossa, lung distension with bloating, wheezing, and coughing, constitute diseases of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian. Epistaxis and pain in the anterior shoulder belong to the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. Since the Lung and Large Intestine are interior-exteriorly related, and Metal is injured by Fire, these pathologies are primarily attributed to the Lung. Chize (LU-5) is the point of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian. It is located in the large crease on the medial aspect of the elbow, where the pulse beats palpably. If Metal fails to overcome Fire, Lung Qi will exhaust, the pulse at Chize will cease, leading to death that is incurable. Feathered creatures (birds) belong to Fire, sharing the same qi as Heaven, thus they remain quiet. Armored creatures (shelled animals) belong to Metal, sharing the same qi as Earth, thus they thrive. With Metal Qi dominant on Earth, Wood declines, therefore hair-covered creatures (mammals) fail to conceive or carry pregnancy to term.
Yangming Zaojin governs Zai Quan, representing the earthly climatic condition. Excessive Dryness of Metal overflowing below results in misty, clear, and dim weather. The people may suffer from frequent vomiting, bitter vomiting, frequent sighing, pain in the heart and hypochondrium, inability to turn the body easily, and in severe cases, dry throat, a dusty complexion, loss of luster in the body, and reverse heat in the lateral foot. These are diseases of the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. Dry throat and a dusty complexion are diseases of the Jueyin Liver Meridian. This occurs because excessive Metal evil injures the Liver and Gallbladder, resulting in such ailments. Armored creatures belong to Metal, sharing its qi, thus they thrive. Hair-covered creatures belong to Wood, subjected to Metal's control, thus they diminish. The qi of Metal and Fire do not harmonize, therefore feathered creatures fail to reproduce. With Zaojin in Zai Quan, Dryness resides within the earth, thus damp-toxic substances do not generate.
