戊辰 戊戌
上太阳寒水司天，中太征火运，下太阴湿土在泉。火运太过，得司天寒水制之，则火得其平，
所谓赫曦之纪。其运热，其化暄暑郁燠，其变炎烈沸腾，（火气薰蒸，火运太过，则寒承之。）
其病热郁。虽生热症，而瘟疫少。
甲辰 甲戌
上太阳寒水司天，中太宫土运，下太阴湿土在泉。运克天气曰不和，土上克水，故病甚也。
虽杂病甚而瘟疫微。太过之运加地气曰同天符。甲辰甲戌，运同司地曰湿土。甲辰甲戌，运临本
气之位曰岁会，辰戌丑未，土位也。其运阴埃，其化柔润重泽，（皆中运湿土之化。）其变振惊
飘骤，（土运太过，风木乘之。）其病下重。（土湿之病。）
庚辰 庚戌
上太阳寒水司天，中太商金运，下太阴湿土在泉。运生天气曰小逆，金上生水也，故病亦微。
中金运太过，又能胜水。其运凉，其化雾露萧 ，其变金运肃杀，万物凋零。火气承金，即阳杀
之象。金气太过，其病燥。肺金受伤，故背闷瞀而胸胀满。庚辰刚柔失守，天运化疫。三年之后，
发而为疫。微则徐，三年后，甚则速，三年首也。速至壬午，徐至癸未，木疫发也。药宜羌活、
紫苏、薄荷、滑
石，煎汤量冷，研五瘟丹服。辰戌之年，太阳寒水当迁正司天，而厥阴风木，以上年在泉之右间，
当升新岁司天之左间，故畏天柱，金星胜之也。遇庚辰庚戌，庚为阳金，其气先天而至。中运胜
之，忽然不前，木运升之，金乃抑之，木不能前，暴郁为害，金能胜木也。木郁不升，人病在肝。
木郁欲发，必待其得位之时而后作。升之不前，清生风少，肃杀于春，露霜复降，草木乃萎。民
病瘟疫早发，咽嗌乃干，四肢满，肢节皆痛，金胜木衰之也。（金气肃杀于春，阴胜抑阳，故病瘟
疫节痛。）木郁既久，其极必发，故大风摧拉等变。民病为卒中偏痹，手足不仁。
丙辰 丙戌
上太阳寒水司天，中太羽水运，下太阴湿土在泉。运气相同曰天符，运与气皆水。其运寒，其化
凝惨 冽，此丙年水运之正化也。其变冰雪霜雹，（水太过，土气承之。）其病大寒，留于溪谷。
（筋骨肢节之会，水运太过，寒甚气凝。）辰戌岁，少阳降地，太阴当迁正在泉，而少阳相火以上
年司天之右间，当降为今岁在泉之左间，故畏地玄，水胜窒之也。遇水运太过，先天而至。丙辰丙
戌年，水运承之，降而不下，彤云才见，
黑气反生。暄暖欲生，冷气卒至，甚即冰雹，皆寒水胜火之化。（与丙申岁少阴不降同义。）
丙辰丙戌岁，少阳相火，当降今岁在泉，遇此二年，水运承之，降而不下，则为火郁，变为瘟疫。
药宜凉膈散，兼导赤散加知母，五瘟丹服之。久而不降，伏之化郁，冷气复热，赤风化疫。民病
面赤，心烦头痛目眩。赤气彰而热病欲作。少阳火郁为病，太阳寒水司天，太阴湿土在泉，故天
气肃，地气静，水土合德。民病寒湿，肌肉痿，足痿不行，濡泄血溢。（火郁之病，寒湿使然。）
岁半之后，地气主之。自三之气，止极雨散之后，交于四气，则在泉用事，而太阴居之，故又雨
朝北极，湿化布焉。泽流万物，土之德也。雷动于下，火郁发也。太阳寒水司天之客气，加于主
气之上。本年初之气，加于主气之上。本年初之气，少阳用事。上年在泉之气，至此迁移，故曰
地气迁。后放此。
初之气，少阳相火用事。地气迁，气乃大温，草乃早荣。（上年终之气君火，今岁初气相火，
二火之交，故气温草荣。）民温病乃作，身热头痛呕吐，肌腠疮疡。客气相火，主
气风木，风火相搏，故为此病。
二之气，阳明燥金用事。民乃惨，草遇寒，故大凉至而火气抑。民病气郁中满，寒乃始，清寒
滞于中，阳气不行也。
三之气，太阳寒水用事。天政布，寒气行，雨乃降。民病寒反为热中，痈疽注下，心热瞀闷，
不治者死。（若人伤于寒而为病热，太阳寒水司天，寒气下临，心气上从，寒侮阳则火无不应，
若不治之则阳绝而死。）
按∶六气司天，皆无不治者死之说，唯此太阳寒水言之，可见人以阳气为生之本，不可不
顾也。
四之气，厥阴风木客气用事。而加于太阴湿土主气，故风湿交争，而风化为雨。木得土化，
故乃长乃化乃成。民病厥阴风木之气。值大暑时，木能生火，故民病大热，以客胜主。脾土受伤，
故为少气，肉痿足痿，注下赤白等症。
五之气，少阴君火用事。岁半之后，地气主之，以太阴在泉，而得君火之化。阳复化，草乃
长乃化乃成。万物能长能成，民亦舒而无病。
终之气，太阴湿土在泉，地气正也，故湿令行。阴凝太虚，埃 郊野，民情喜
阳而恶阴，故惨凄以湿令而寒风至，风能胜湿，故曰反。反者孕乃死。所以然者，人为 虫，从
上化也。风木非时相加，故土化者当不育也。以上十年，皆寒水司天，湿土在泉。湿宜燥之，寒宜
温之。味苦者，苦从火化，治寒以热也。寒水司天则火气郁，湿土在泉则水气郁，故必折去其致
郁之气，则郁者舒矣。寒水司天则心火不胜，太阴在泉则肾水不胜。诸太过者抑之，不胜者扶之，
则气无暴过，而疾不生矣。
巳亥之岁（丁巳 丁亥 癸巳 癸亥 己巳 己亥 乙巳 乙亥 辛巳 辛亥）
厥阴风木司天，岁气风化之候，天之气也。少阳相火在泉，地之气也。厥阴风木，乃足厥阴
肝经，属东方木，春旺七十二日。木邪乘土，故诸病皆主于脾。其化以风，凡发生万物，皆风之化，
而飘怒摇动，云物飞扬。风淫于上，故太虚埃昏，云物扰乱。寒生春气而流水不冰。然风胜则金
令乘之，清肃气行，故蛰虫不出。民病胃痛，上支两胁，隔咽不通，饮食不下，舌本强，食则呕，
腹胀食不下，溏泄瘕水闭，病本于脾。此以木邪乘土，故诸病皆本于脾也。冲阳，足阳明胃脉，
在足 上，动脉应手。土不胜木则脾胃气竭，而冲阳绝，死不治。
少阳相火在泉，火淫所胜，（相火淫胜于下。）故焰明郊野，热极生寒，故寒热更至。民病注泄
赤白，热在下焦，故少腹痛，溺赤便血。其余诸症，皆与少阴在泉同候。羽虫属火，同其气故育。
介虫属金，受其制故耗。火在泉则木为退气，故毛虫属木亦不育。少阳相火在泉，火在地中，则
寒毒之物不生。
壬辰年、壬戌年：
上一年位由太阳寒水司天，中运为太角（木运太过），下位由太阴湿土在泉。司天之气与中运相生称为顺化，因为水生木，所以这一年百姓舒展，疾病较少。其异常变化表现为狂风摧折树木。（壬属阳木，风运太过，则金气来承制，因此出现这种变异。）其运行为风，其气化表现为风（风为木的气化）。鸣响（风木发出的声音）、繁盛、萌芽。（其病变表现为眩晕、头摇动（头摇）、目眩不开。（木运太过所致。）
戊辰年、戊戌年：
上一年位由太阳寒水司天，中运为太征（火运太过），下位由太阴湿土在泉。火运太过，得到司天寒水的制约，则火势得以平衡，这被称为“赫曦之纪”。其运行为热，其气化表现为温暖、暑热、郁蒸闷热，其异常变化表现为烈火焚烧、沸腾翻滚，（火气熏蒸，火运太过，则寒气来承制。）其病变表现为热邪郁结。虽然产生热症，但瘟疫较少。
甲辰年、甲戌年：
上一年位由太阳寒水司天，中运为太宫（土运太过），下位由太阴湿土在泉。中运克制司天之气称为不和，土克水，所以疾病严重。虽然杂病严重，但瘟疫轻微。太过之中运加临地气称为同天符。甲辰、甲戌年，中运与司天、在泉之气同为湿土。甲辰、甲戌年，中运临于本气之位称为岁会，辰、戌、丑、未为土之位。其运行为阴埃（湿气弥漫），其气化表现为柔和滋润、沉重润泽，（均为中运湿土的气化。）其异常变化表现为震动、惊恐、狂风骤雨，（土运太过，风木乘虚侵袭。）其病变表现为身体下部沉重。（土湿导致的病症。）
庚辰年、庚戌年：
上一年位由太阳寒水司天，中运为太商（金运太过），下位由太阴湿土在泉。中运生司天之气称为小逆，金生水，所以疾病也轻微。中金运太过，又能胜水。其运行为凉，其气化表现为雾露萧瑟，其异常变化表现为金运肃杀，万物凋零。火气承袭金气，即阳杀的现象。金气太过，其病变表现为燥。肺金受伤，所以背部闷塞、视物模糊而胸部胀满。庚辰年刚柔失守，天运化为疫气。三年之后，发作成为疫病。轻微则缓慢，三年后发作；严重则迅速，以三年为首发期。迅速者至壬午年，缓慢者至癸未年，木疫发作。药物宜用羌活、紫苏、薄荷、滑石，煎汤放凉服用，并研服五瘟丹。辰戌之年，太阳寒水应当迁正司天，而厥阴风木，以上一年在泉的右间气，应当升为新岁司天的左间气，所以畏惧天柱星（金星）的胜利克制。遇到庚辰、庚戌年，庚为阳金，其气先于时令而至。中运胜过它，突然不能前行，木运欲升，被金所抑制，木不能前进，暴郁为害，因为金能胜木。木郁不升，人病在肝。木郁欲发，必须等到其得位之时而后发作。升之不前，清气生而风少，肃杀之气行于春季，露水霜雪再次降临，草木于是枯萎。百姓瘟疫早发，咽喉干燥，四肢胀满，关节皆痛，这是金胜木衰所致。（金气肃杀于春，阴胜抑阳，所以病发瘟疫、节痛。）木郁已久，其极必发，所以有大风摧折等变异。百姓病发为卒中偏瘫痹阻，手足麻木不仁。
丙辰年、丙戌年：
上一年位由太阳寒水司天，中运为太羽（水运太过），下位由太阴湿土在泉。运气相同称为天符，运与气皆为水。其运行为寒，其气化表现为凝结凄惨凛冽，这是丙年水运的正化。其异常变化表现为冰雪霜雹，（水太过，土气来承制。）其病变为大寒，留滞于溪谷。（筋骨肢节交会之处，水运太过，寒气甚重而气机凝滞。）辰戌岁，少阳相火降地，太阴应当迁正在泉，而少阳相火以上年司天的右间气，应当降为今岁在泉的左间气，所以畏惧地玄（水星），水胜而窒塞它。遇到水运太过，先于时令而至。丙辰、丙戌年，水运承袭它，降而不降，彤云才见，黑气反生。温暖欲生，冷气突然到来，严重则冰雹，都是寒水胜火的气化。（与丙申岁少阴不降意义相同。）丙辰、丙戌岁，少阳相火应当降入今岁在泉，遇到此二年，水运承袭它，降而不降，则为火郁，变为瘟疫。药物宜用凉膈散，兼用导赤散加知母，并服五瘟丹。久而不降，伏藏之气化郁，冷气复转为热，赤风化疫。百姓病见面色红赤，心烦头痛目眩。赤气彰显而热病欲作。少阳火郁为病，太阳寒水司天，太阴湿土在泉，所以天气肃杀，地气安静，水土合德。百姓病发寒湿，肌肉痿软，足痿不能行走，濡泄便血。（火郁之病，由寒湿导致。）岁半之后，地气主事。自三之气，止于极雨散之后，交于四气，则在泉用事，而太阴居之，所以又雨朝北极，湿化布散。泽流万物，是土的德行。雷动于下，是火郁发作。太阳寒水司天的客气，加于主气之上。本年初之气，加于主气之上。本年初之气，少阳用事。上年在泉之气，至此迁移，所以叫地气迁。后仿此类推。
初之气，少阳相火用事。地气迁，气乃大温，草乃早荣。（上年终之气君火，今岁初气相火，二火相交，所以气温草荣。）百姓温病乃作，身热头痛呕吐，肌肤腠理疮疡。客气相火，主气风木，风火相搏，所以为此病。
二之气，阳明燥金用事。百姓神色惨淡，草遇寒，所以大凉至而火气被抑。百姓病发气郁中满，寒乃始，清寒滞于中，阳气不行也。
三之气，太阳寒水用事。天政布散，寒气行，雨乃降。百姓病发寒反为热中，痈疽注下，心热瞀闷，不治者死。（若人伤于寒而为病热，太阳寒水司天，寒气下临，心气上从，寒侮阳则火无不应，若不治之则阳绝而死。）
按：六气司天，皆无不治者死之说，唯此太阳寒水言之，可见人以阳气为生之本，不可不顾也。
四之气，厥阴风木客气用事。而加于太阴湿土主气，故风湿交争，而风化为雨。木得土化，所以乃长乃化乃成。百姓病发厥阴风木之气。值大暑时，木能生火，所以百姓病发大热，以客胜主。脾土受伤，所以为少气，肉痿足痿，注下赤白等症。
五之气，少阴君火用事。岁半之后，地气主之，以太阴在泉，而得君火之化。阳复化，草乃长乃化乃成。万物能长能成，百姓亦舒而无病。
终之气，太阴湿土在泉，地气正也，所以湿令行。阴凝太虚，埃尘郊野，民情喜阳而恶阴，所以惨凄以湿令而寒风至，风能胜湿，所以叫反。反者孕乃死。所以然者，人为倮虫，从上化也。风木非时相加，所以土化者当不育也。以上十年，皆寒水司天，湿土在泉。湿宜燥之，寒宜温之。味苦者，苦从火化，治寒以热也。寒水司天则火气郁，湿土在泉则水气郁，所以必折去其致郁之气，则郁者舒矣。寒水司天则心火不胜，太阴在泉则肾水不胜。诸太过者抑之，不胜者扶之，则气无暴过，而疾不生矣。
巳亥之岁（丁巳、丁亥、癸巳、癸亥、己巳、己亥、乙巳、乙亥、辛巳、辛亥）：
厥阴风木司天，岁气风化之候，是天之气。少阳相火在泉，是地之气。厥阴风木，乃足厥阴肝经，属东方木，春旺七十二日。木邪乘土，所以诸病皆主于脾。其气化以风，凡发生万物，皆风之化，而飘怒摇动，云物飞扬。风淫于上，所以太虚埃昏，云物扰乱。寒生春气而流水不冰。然风胜则金令乘之，清肃气行，所以蛰虫不出。百姓病发胃痛，上支两胁，隔咽不通，饮食不下，舌本强，食则呕，腹胀食不下，溏泄瘕水闭，病本于脾。此以木邪乘土，所以诸病皆本于脾也。冲阳穴，足阳明胃脉，在足背上，动脉应手。土不胜木则脾胃气竭，而冲阳绝，死不治。
少阳相火在泉，火淫所胜，（相火淫胜于下。）所以焰明郊野，热极生寒，所以寒热更至。百姓病发注泄赤白，热在下焦，所以少腹痛，溺赤便血。其余诸症，皆与少阴在泉同候。羽虫属火，同其气故育。介虫属金，受其制故耗。火在泉则木为退气，所以毛虫属木亦不育。少阳相火在泉，火在地中，则寒毒之物不生。
Ren Chen and Ren Xu Years:
The upper position is governed by Taiyang Cold Water Si Tian (Supreme Heaven Qi), the central movement is Tai Jiao (Excessive Wood Movement), and the lower position is governed by Taiyin Damp Earth Zai Quan (Earthly Spring). When the Si Tian Qi generates the central movement, it is called Shun Hua (Smooth Transformation); since Water generates Wood, the people are comfortable and diseases are few. Its abnormal changes manifest as violent winds uprooting trees. (Ren belongs to Yang Wood; when Wind Movement is excessive, Metal Qi acts as a constraint, hence these changes.) The movement is Wind, its transformation is Wind (Wind is the transformation of Wood). Sounds (the sound of wind-wood), abundance, sprouting. (Its diseases manifest as dizziness and tremors (head shaking), and closed eyes (due to excessive Wood Movement).)
Wu Chen and Wu Xu Years:
The upper position is governed by Taiyang Cold Water Si Tian, the central movement is Tai Zheng (Excessive Fire Movement), and the lower position is governed by Taiyin Damp Earth Zai Quan. Excessive Fire Movement is constrained by the Si Tian Cold Water, thus achieving balance, known as the "He Xi Ji" (Era of Blazing Heat). The movement is Heat, its transformation is warmth, summer heat, and stifling mugginess; its abnormal changes are fierce flames and boiling turbulence. (Fire Qi steams upward; when Fire Movement is excessive, Cold Qi acts as a constraint.) Its diseases manifest as Heat stagnation. Although heat syndromes arise, plagues are rare.
Jia Chen and Jia Xu Years:
The upper position is governed by Taiyang Cold Water Si Tian, the central movement is Tai Gong (Excessive Earth Movement), and the lower position is governed by Taiyin Damp Earth Zai Quan. When the central movement overcomes the Si Tian Qi, it is called Bu He (Disorder); Earth overcomes Water, so diseases are severe. Although miscellaneous diseases are severe, plagues are mild. An excessive central movement adding to the Earthly Qi is called Tong Tian Fu (Same Heaven符). In Jia Chen and Jia Xu years, the movement coincides with Si Tian and Zai Quan as Wet Earth. When the central movement arrives at its own positional origin, it is called Sui Hui (Year Meeting); Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei are positions of Earth. The movement is Yin Ai (Yin Mist), its transformation is soft, moist, heavy, and润泽 (nourishing/dewy), (all transformations of the central Wet Earth Movement). Its abnormal changes are shocks, frights, gusty winds, and sudden storms. (When Earth Movement is excessive, Wind-Wood takes advantage.) Its diseases manifest as heaviness in the lower body. (Diseases caused by Earth-Dampness.)
Geng Chen and Geng Xu Years:
The upper position is governed by Taiyang Cold Water Si Tian, the central movement is Tai Shang (Excessive Metal Movement), and the lower position is governed by Taiyin Damp Earth Zai Quan. When the central movement generates the Si Tian Qi, it is called Xiao Ni (Minor Reverse); Metal generates Water, so diseases are also mild. Excessive Central Metal Movement can also overcome Water. The movement is Cool, its transformation is misty and dewy desolation; its abnormal changes are the肃 Sha (Solemn Killing) of Metal Movement, with all things withering. Fire Qi inheriting Metal Qi represents the image of Yang Killing. Excessive Metal Qi causes Dryness diseases. Lung Metal is injured, causing back stuffiness, blurred vision, and chest fullness. In Geng Chen year, Gang Rou (Yang-Yin) fails to maintain order, and Heavenly Movement transforms into epidemic Qi. Three years later, an epidemic erupts. If mild, it develops slowly after three years; if severe, it develops quickly, starting from the third year. Rapid onset reaches Ren Wu year, slow onset reaches Gui Wei year, with Wood Epidemic erupting. Medicines should include Qiang Huo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Zi Su (Perillae Folium), Bo He (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba), and Hua Shi (Talcum), decocted in water, cooled, and taken with Wu Wen Dan (Five Plagues Pill). In Chen and Xu years, Taiyang Cold Water should ascend to Si Tian, while Jueyin Wind Wood, previously the Right Intercalary Qi of Zai Quan from the previous year, should ascend to become the Left Intercalary Qi of Si Tian for the new year. Thus, it fears the dominance of Tian Zhu (Venus/Metal). Encountering Geng Chen or Geng Xu years, Geng is Yang Metal, arriving before its season. The Central Movement overcomes it, suddenly halting progress. Wood Movement attempts to ascend but is suppressed by Metal; unable to advance, it becomes violently stagnant and harmful, as Metal overcomes Wood. Stagnant Wood not ascending leads to Liver diseases. When Wood stagnation is about to erupt, it must wait for its proper time to act. Failure to ascend results in less Clear Qi and less Wind; killing Qi acts in Spring, frost and dew return, and grass and trees wither. People suffer from early-onset epidemics, dry throat and pharynx, limb fullness, and joint pain, due to Metal overcoming deficient Wood. (Metal's killing action in Spring, Yin overcoming and suppressing Yang, leads to plague and joint pain.) After prolonged Wood stagnation, extreme eruption occurs, causing great wind destruction. People suffer from stroke, hemiplegic bi-syndrome, and numbness in hands and feet.
Bing Chen and Bing Xu Years:
The upper position is governed by Taiyang Cold Water Si Tian, the central movement is Tai Yu (Excessive Water Movement), and the lower position is governed by Taiyin Damp Earth Zai Quan. When Movement and Qi are identical, it is called Tian Fu (Heavenly符); both are Water. The movement is Cold, its transformation is freezing, bleak, and piercing cold, which is the correct transformation of Bing year Water Movement. Its abnormal changes are ice, snow, frost, and hail. (Water is excessive, Earth Qi acts as a constraint.) Its diseases manifest as severe Cold lingering in valleys and ravines. (Convergences of sinews, bones, limbs, and joints; excessive Water Movement leads to severe Cold and qi stagnation.) In Chen and Xu years, Shaoyang Ministerial Fire descends to Earth, and Taiyin should ascend to Zai Quan. However, Shaoyang Ministerial Fire, previously the Right Intercalary Qi of Si Tian from the previous year, should descend to become the Left Intercalary Qi of Zai Quan for this year. Thus, it fears Di Xuan (Mercury/Water), being blocked by Water victory. Encountering excessive Water Movement arriving early: in Bing Chen and Bing Xu years, Water Movement inherits it, preventing descent. Red clouds appear, but Black Qi arises instead. Warmth begins to generate, but Cold Qi strikes suddenly; severely, hail forms. These are transformations of Cold Water overcoming Fire. (Same meaning as Shaoyin failing to descend in Bing Shen year.) In Bing Chen and Bing Xu years, Shaoyang Ministerial Fire should descend to Zai Quan, but encountering these two years, Water Movement inherits it, preventing descent, leading to Fire Stagnation and transforming into plague. Medicines should include Liang Ge San (Cool the Chest Powder), combined with Dao Chi San (Guide Out Red Powder) plus Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), and Wu Wen Dan. Prolonged failure to descend causes latent Qi to stagnate; Cold Qi transforms into Heat, Red Wind creates epidemics. People suffer from red face, vexation, headache, and dizziness. Red Qi manifests, and Heat disease is about to arise. Shaoyang Fire Stagnation causes disease. With Taiyang Cold Water Si Tian and Taiyin Damp Earth Zai Quan, Heavenly Qi is solemn, Earthly Qi is quiet, and Water and Earth harmonize. People suffer from Cold-Dampness, muscle flaccidity, foot weakness preventing walking, damp diarrhea, and blood hemorrhage. (Fire Stagnation diseases are caused by Cold-Dampness.) After mid-year, Earthly Qi governs. From the Third Qi until after the dispersion of extreme rain, transitioning to the Fourth Qi, Zai Quan takes effect, with Taiyin occupying it. Thus, rain faces North Pole, and Damp Transformation spreads. Moisture flows through all things, the virtue of Earth. Thunder moves below, indicating Fire Stagnation eruption. The Ke Qi (Guest Qi) of Taiyang Cold Water Si Tian adds onto the Zhu Qi (Host Qi). The First Qi of this year adds onto the Host Qi. In the First Qi, Shaoyang is active. The Zai Quan Qi from the previous year migrates here, hence called Di Qi Qian (Earth Qi Migration). Subsequent cases follow this pattern.
First Qi: Shaoyang Ministerial Fire is active. Earth Qi migrates, Qi becomes greatly warm, grass blooms early. (Last year's Final Qi was Lord Fire, this year's First Qi is Ministerial Fire; intersection of two Fires causes warmth and early blooming.) People suffer from Warm Diseases: fever, headache, vomiting, skin ulcers. Guest Qi Ministerial Fire combines with Host Qi Wind Wood; Wind and Fire clash, causing these diseases.
Second Qi: Yangming Dry Metal is active. People look grim, grass encounters cold, so great Coolness arrives and Fire Qi is suppressed. People suffer from Qi stagnation and abdominal fullness; Cold begins, Clear-Cold stagnates in the middle, Yang Qi cannot circulate.
Third Qi: Taiyang Cold Water is active. Heavenly administration spreads, Cold Qi moves, rain descends. People suffer from Cold turning into internal Heat, abscesses, dysentery, heart heat, and stuffiness. Untreated, death ensues. (If one is injured by Cold and develops Heat disease, with Taiyang Cold Water Si Tian, Cold Qi descends, Heart Qi responds upward. Cold insults Yang, so Fire responds accordingly; if untreated, Yang perishes and death occurs.)
Note: Among the Six Qi Si Tian, all mention "untreated leads to death," specifically stated for Taiyang Cold Water, showing that Yang Qi is the root of life and must be protected.
Fourth Qi: Jueyin Wind Wood Guest Qi is active, adding onto Taiyin Damp Earth Host Qi. Thus, Wind and Damp contend, and Wind transforms into Rain. Wood receives Earth's transformation, leading to growth, maturation, and completion. People suffer from Jueyin Wind Wood Qi. During Great Heat, Wood generates Fire, so people suffer from intense Heat, as Guest overcomes Host. Spleen Earth is injured, leading to shortness of breath, muscle flaccidity, foot weakness, and dysentery with red and white discharge.
Fifth Qi: Shaoyin Lord Fire is active. After mid-year, Earthly Qi governs. With Taiyin Zai Quan, it receives Lord Fire's transformation. Yang returns and transforms, grass grows, matures, and completes. All things grow and complete; people are comfortable and disease-free.
Final Qi: Taiyin Damp Earth Zai Quan, Earth Qi is correct, so Damp Command acts. Yin condenses in the Great Void, dust fills suburbs. People prefer Yang and dislike Yin, so bleakness comes with Damp Command and Cold Wind. Wind can overcome Damp, hence called Fan (Reverse). Reverse means conception dies. This is because humans are Luo Chong (Naked Creatures), transforming from above. Non-seasonal Wind Wood addition means Earth transformation cannot nurture. For the above ten years, Cold Water is Si Tian and Wet Earth is Zai Quan. Damp should be dried, Cold should be warmed. Bitter flavors transform from Fire; treat Cold with Heat. Cold Water Si Tian causes Fire Qi stagnation; Wet Earth Zai Quan causes Water Qi stagnation. Thus, one must suppress the Qi causing stagnation, so the stagnant Qi relaxes. Cold Water Si Tian means Heart Fire cannot overcome; Taiyin Zai Quan means Kidney Water cannot overcome. Suppress excesses, support deficiencies, so Qi does not violently exceed, and diseases do not arise.
Si Hai Years (Ding Si, Ding Hai, Gui Si, Gui Hai, Ji Si, Ji Hai, Yi Si, Yi Hai, Xin Si, Xin Hai):
Jueyin Wind Wood is Si Tian, representing the seasonal Wind transformation phenomenon, the Qi of Heaven. Shaoyang Ministerial Fire is Zai Quan, the Qi of Earth. Jueyin Wind Wood corresponds to the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, belonging to Eastern Wood, flourishing for 72 days in Spring. Wood Evil attacks Earth, so all diseases primarily involve the Spleen. Its transformation is Wind; all generating things undergo Wind transformation, causing floating, anger, shaking, and flying clouds/objects. Wind excess above causes the Great Void to be dusty and dim, clouds and objects chaotic. Cold generates Spring Qi, yet flowing water does not freeze. However, Wind victory allows Metal Command to take over, Clear-Solid Qi moves, so hibernating insects do not emerge. People suffer from stomach pain, distension supporting both hypochondria, blocked throat and pharynx, inability to eat, stiff tongue base, vomiting after eating, abdominal fullness, inability to eat, loose stools, masses, and urinary retention. Diseases originate in the Spleen. Since Wood Evil attacks Earth, all diseases originate in the Spleen. Chongyang Point, Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian pulse, located on the dorsum of the foot, pulsating. If Earth cannot overcome Wood, Spleen-Stomach Qi exhausts, Chongyang pulse vanishes, death is incurable.
Shaoyang Ministerial Fire is Zai Quan. Fire Excess Victory (Ministerial Fire excess below) causes flames to brighten suburbs. Extreme Heat generates Cold, so Cold and Heat alternate. People suffer from bloody and white dysentery, Heat in Lower Jiao, lower abdominal pain, red urine, and bloody stool. Remaining symptoms are similar to Shaoyin Zai Quan patterns. Feathered creatures belong to Fire, sharing its Qi, so they thrive. Armored creatures belong to Metal, controlled by it, so they decline. Fire Zai Quan makes Wood retreating, so hairy creatures belonging to Wood also fail to thrive. Shaoyang Ministerial Fire Zai Quan, Fire in the Earth, prevents the generation of Cold-Toxic substances.
