复临泰壮 干 。 遁否观剥坤二六。
青白正分开与辟。 赤黑往来通道路。
泰即居艮否居坤。 干作天门巽地户。
气终于丑始于寅。 血谛辛阴从下去。
丙潜壬内却从高。 顺至乙穴还上注。
妇随夫唱几曾停。 万派千流无暂住。
血气包含六子中。 昼夜行流五十度。
食时骸理敬修行。 玄府身周匀闭拒。
排山倒海毒非常。 撩鼻捻髭心不怖。
天长地久太虚持。 不亏八一元来数。
休说乘虚谩履空。 嬴取康宁三六足。
知之非难行之难。 造次颠沛宜常虑。
且天地之形如卯。横卧于东南西北者。自然之势也血气营运故始于手太阴。终于足厥阴
。帝
曰。地之为下否乎。岐伯曰。地为人之下太虚之中也。曰冯乎。曰大气举之也。是地如卯黄
在其中矣。又曰地者所以载生成之形类也。易曰。坤浓载物德。合无疆。信乎天之包地。形
如卯焉。故人首之上。为天之天。足之下为地之天。人之浮于地之上。如地之浮于太虚之中
也
。地之西始于寅终于丑。血之东根于辛纳于乙。相随往来不息。独缺于干巽。为天地之门户
也。启玄子云。戊土属干。巳土属巽。遁甲曰。六戊为天门。六巳为地户。此之谓也。经
云。天地者万物之上下。左右者阴阳之道路。气血者父母
也。父母者天地也。血气周流于十
二经。总包六子于其中。六气五行是也。无形者包有形。而天总包地也。天左行而西气随之
。百川并进而东血随之。
(前段为歌诀)
再次降临泰卦与壮卦,对应乾卦。遁卦、否卦、观卦、剥卦对应坤卦的二爻和六爻。
青色与白色正位分开,开启与闭辟相应。
红色与黑色往来相通,贯通道路。
泰卦居于艮位,否卦居于坤位。
乾卦象征天门,巽卦象征地户。
气运终结于丑时,开始于寅时。
血运谛定于辛位,阴气从下方升起。
丙火潜藏,壬水在内,却从高处运行。
顺行至乙穴,又向上灌注。
妇女跟随丈夫歌唱,何曾停止过?
万派千流的水势,没有片刻停留。
血气包含在八卦的六个子卦之中。
昼夜循环流动五十周次。
进食之时,腠理应当恭敬修行(保持通畅)。
玄府遍布全身,均匀闭合抵御外邪。
气势排山倒海,毒性非常猛烈。
撩动鼻子、捻动胡须,内心也不恐惧。
天长地久,由太虚持守。
不亏损八十一元的数理。
不要说乘虚而谈、漫步虚空。
要赢得健康安宁,三六之数已足够。
知道它并不难,难的是实行它。
在仓促急迫或颠沛流离之际,应当常常思虑。
(后段为论述)
况且天地的形状如同卯字,横卧在东南西北方向,这是自然的趋势。血气营运的缘故,所以始于手太阴肺经,终于足厥阴肝经。
黄帝问道:大地是在下面的吗?
岐伯回答:大地在人的下面,处于太虚之中。
黄帝问:大地会下陷吗?
岐伯回答:大气托举着它。
所以说大地就像“卯”字,黄道在其中了。
又说:大地是用来承载生成各类形体的。《易经》说:坤厚载物,德行广阔无疆。确实如此,天包裹着地,形状如同“卯”字。
所以人的头部之上,是天之天;脚部之下,是地之天。人漂浮在地面之上,就像大地漂浮在太虚之中一样。
大地的西方始于寅时,终于丑时。血气的东方根源于辛位,收纳于乙位。相随往来不息,唯独空缺于乾卦和巽卦的位置,因为它们是天地之门户。
启玄子(王冰)说:戊土属于乾卦,巳土属于巽卦。《遁甲》说:六戊为天门,六巳为地户。说的就是这个道理。
《内经》说:天和地是万物的上下方,左和右是阴阳的道路。血和气是父母。父母就是天地。血气在十二经脉中周流,总括包含六个子卦在其中,这就是六气和五行。无形的事物包裹有形的事物,而天总括包裹着地。天向左运行,气随之向西;百川并进向东,血随之向东。
(Preceding verse)
Once again, Tai (Peace) and Zhuang (Mighty) descend, corresponding to Qian (Heaven). Dun (Retreat), Pi (Standstill), Guan (Contemplation), and Bo (Splitting Apart) correspond to the second and sixth lines of Kun (Earth).
Qing (Green/Blue) and Bai (White) are separated in their correct positions, opening and closing correspondingly.
Chi (Red) and Hei (Black) come and go, connecting the pathways.
Tai resides in Gen (Mountain), Pi resides in Kun (Earth).
Qian serves as the Heavenly Gate, Xun (Wind/Wood) serves as the Earthly Door.
Qi concludes at Chou (Ox hour/time) and begins at Yin (Tiger hour/time).
Blood is fixed at Xin (Metal stem), Yin Qi rises from below.
Bing (Fire stem) hides, Ren (Water stem) is within, yet flows from high places.
Moving forward to Yi (Wood stem) point, it then circulates upward.
As a wife follows her husband's song, when does it ever stop?
Myriad streams and thousand currents do not rest for a moment.
Blood and Qi encompass the six trigrams (children) within.
Day and night, they flow and circulate fifty times.
During meal times, the pores (Couli) should be cultivated with reverence.
The Xuanfu (Mysterious Pores) surround the body, uniformly closing to resist pathogens.
The momentum overturns mountains and seas, toxicity is extremely fierce.
Stirring the nose or twirling the mustache, the heart does not fear.
Heaven is long and Earth is enduring, held by the Great Void (Taixu).
Not losing the numerical count of eighty-one Yuan.
Do not speak of riding emptiness and walking on void.
To gain health and peace, the number of thirty-six is sufficient.
Knowing it is not difficult; practicing it is difficult.
In haste or adversity, one should always consider this.
(Latter prose)
Moreover, the shape of Heaven and Earth is like the character "Mao" (Rabbit), lying horizontally across East, South, West, and North; this is the natural trend. Due to the circulation of Blood and Qi, the cycle begins at the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian and ends at the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian.
The Yellow Emperor asked: Is the Earth located below?
Qibo answered: The Earth is below humans, situated within the Great Void.
The Yellow Emperor asked: Does it sink?
Qibo answered: It is supported by the Great Qi (Atmosphere).
Thus, the Earth is like "Mao," with the ecliptic within it.
It is also said: The Earth is that which carries and generates all forms. The I Ching says: Kun is thick and carries things, its virtue is boundless. Indeed, Heaven envelops Earth, shaped like "Mao."
Therefore, above the human head is the Heaven of Heaven; below the feet is the Heaven of Earth. Humans floating above the Earth are like the Earth floating within the Great Void.
The West of the Earth begins at Yin and ends at Chou. The East of Blood originates at Xin and is received at Yi. They follow each other without ceasing, except where Qian and Xun are vacant, as these are the Gates of Heaven and Earth.
Qixuanzi (Wang Bing) stated: Wu Earth belongs to Qian, Si Earth belongs to Xun. The Dun Jia states: Six Wus are the Heavenly Gate, Six Sis are the Earthly Door. This is what is meant.
The Classics state: Heaven and Earth are the upper and lower of all things; Left and Right are the pathways of Yin and Yang. Blood and Qi are the parents. Parents are Heaven and Earth. Blood and Qi circulate through the Twelve Meridians, encompassing the six trigrams within them, which are the Six Qi and Five Elements. The formless encompasses the formed, and Heaven encompasses Earth. Heaven moves leftward, and Qi follows westward; rivers advance eastward, and Blood follows eastward.
