明经言∶春食朝露，日欲出时向东气也；秋食飞泉，日没时向西气也；冬食沆瀣，北方夜半

阳，日入为飞泉，夜半为沆瀣，及天地玄黄为六气。皆令人不饥，延年无疾者。人有堕穴中

服用它使人不感到饥饿且长寿，使面色美丽。当人处于急难或被困隔绝的境地时可以使用它，就像龟、蛇通过服气而长生不死一样。阳陵子
明经说：春天在早晨食用朝露，这是日出之前向东方的气息；秋天食用飞泉（流动的水），这是日落时向西方的气息；冬天食用沆瀣（夜间的露水/寒气），这是北方半夜的气息；夏天食用正阳（午时的阳光之气），这是南方日中的气息。这些都与天玄地黄之气相结合，称为“六气”。也有说法认为平明（天刚亮）为朝露，日中为正阳，日入为飞泉，夜半为沗瀣，以及天地玄黄合为六气。这些都能使人不感到饥饿，延年益寿且无疾病。有人掉进洞穴中，洞穴里有蛇，蛇每天按照这种方式服气。那人看见蛇这样做后，便模仿蛇依循时节，在饥饿时就服用。又接着模仿蛇，每天如此，经过长久时间渐渐见效，身体变得轻健，似乎能轻盈飞升。惊蛰节气之后，人与蛇一同跃出洞穴。
清洗疮疥，消除瘢痕。放入酱中能使其容易煮熟，沾染衣物便会腐烂，洗涤污垢如同灰汁一般，与其他水不同。江淮以南地区，地势低洼潮湿，五月上旬至下旬尤为严重。《月令》中提到“土润溽暑”是五月中的中气，过了这个节气以后，都必须曝晒书籍。汉代崔实在七夕节曝书，阮咸怎能免俗，大概说的就是这个道理。梅子沾染衣物，都用梅叶汤洗才能脱去污渍，其他都不能脱除。
味道甘甜，性平，无毒。主治心腹疼痛、疰忤鬼气邪秽等病症，应当对着泉水空腹饮用。时代升平之时，醴泉（甜美的泉水）就会涌出，读古史书中大有这种水的记载，也认为新汲取的水最好。止热消渴及反胃，腹痛，霍乱为上。
味道甘甜，性平，无毒。主治胸膈部的各种热症，明目止渴。生长在巴西极远的地方，像饴糖一样。汉武帝建立金茎，制作仙人掌承露盘，收取云表之露，服食以求成仙。
Ingesting it causes one not to feel hungry and promotes longevity, beautifying the complexion. It can be used when a person is in urgent distress or trapped in isolation, similar to how turtles and snakes achieve immortality by ingesting Qi (vital energy). Yanglingzi
Mingjing stated: In spring, consume morning dew at dawn; this is the Qi of the east before sunrise. In autumn, consume flying springs (flowing water) at sunset; this is the Qi of the west after sunset. In winter, consume hangxie (nighttime mist/dew); this is the Qi of the north at midnight. In summer, consume zhengyang (midday sunlight Qi); this is the Qi of the south at noon. These are combined with the Qi of Tianxuan Dihuang, forming the "Six Qis." Another view holds that pingming (daybreak) is morning dew, rizhong is zhengyang, riru is feiquan, yeban is hangxie, along with Tiandi Xuanhuang, constituting the Six Qis. All of these enable one to remain without hunger, extend life, and avoid disease. A person fell into a cave containing snakes, which consumed Qi daily in this manner. Upon seeing the snake's behavior, the person imitated the snake according to the seasons, consuming it when hungry. Continuing to mimic the snake daily, gradual efficacy was observed over time; the body became light and vigorous, seemingly capable of levitation. After Jingzhe (Awakening of Insects), both the person and the snake leaped out of the cave simultaneously.
Washes sores and scabies, eliminates scars. When added to sauce, it makes food cook easily; if it stains clothes, it causes rotting. Washing dirt off with it is like using lye ash water, differing from other waters. South of the Jianghuai region, the terrain is low and damp, especially severe from early to late May. The *Yueling* (Monthly Ordinances) states that "earth moist and muggy heat" occurs during the middle Qi of May. After this solar term, books must be sun-dried. Cui Shi of the Han Dynasty sun-dried books on the Qixi Festival; Ruan Xian could not escape custom, referring to this practice. Plum stains on clothes can only be removed with plum leaf decoction; others cannot be removed.
Sweet flavor, neutral nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats epigastric and abdominal pain, zhuwu (wandering pestilence), ghostly Qi, and evil filth. One should face a spring and drink it on an empty stomach. During times of peace and prosperity, liquan (sweet springs) gush forth. Ancient histories record much about this water; newly drawn water is considered best. For stopping heat-induced thirst, regurgitation, abdominal pain, and cholera-ruin, it is superior.
Sweet flavor, neutral nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats various heat syndromes in the chest and diaphragm, brightens the eyes, and stops thirst. Grows in the remote regions of Baxi, resembling maltose. Emperor Wu of Han established golden pillars and made cactus-shaped dew-catching plates to collect dew from the clouds, ingesting it to seek immortality.
Cold nature, non-toxic. Tuan shi zhe (a specific form/preparation): primarily resolves alcohol-induced heat, nasal congestion due to Shanghan (cold damage), and facial redness with various heats after drinking alcohol.
