至真要大论篇/Zhi Zhen Yao Da Lun

(The Various Changes in the Dominations of the Six Energies and their Relations with the Diseases)

黄帝问日:五气交合，盈虚更作，余知之矣。六气分治，司天地者，其至何如?岐伯再拜对日:明乎哉问也!天地之大纪，人神之通应也。帝日:愿闻上合昭昭，下合冥冥奈何?岐伯日:此道之所主，工之所疑也。

Yellow Emperor asked: "I have understood the principles about the mutual coordination of the five-motion's energies and their mutual alternations when they are excessive or insufficient. But what about the changes induced by the arrivals of the energy that controls the heaven or by that of the energy that effects the earth energy in the seasonal domination of the six energies respectively?" Qibo bowed and said: "What an explicit question you have asked. It is the fundamental law of the changes of heaven and earth, and the law for the human body to suit the changes of heaven and earth."

Yellow Emperor said: "I hope to know how can one suit the evident principle of heaven above and fit the profound truth of the earth below?" Qibo said:"This is the principal part in the medical theory which is unclear to many physicians."

帝日:愿闻其道也。岐伯日:厥阴司天，其化以风;少阴司天，其化以热;太阴司天，其化以湿;少阳司天，其化以火;阳明司天，其化以燥;太阳司天，其化以寒。以所临藏位，命其病者也。

Yellow Emperor said:"I hope to hear about it." Qibo said:"When Jueyin is controlling the heaven energy, the energy is assimilated by the wind; when Shaoyin is controlling the heaven energy, the energy is assimilated by the heat; when Taiyin is controlling by the heaven energy, the energy is assimilated by the wetness; when Shaoyang is controlling the heaven energy, the energy is assimilated by the fire; when Yangming is controlling the heaven energy, the energy is asimilated by the dryness; when Taiyang is controlling the heaven energy, the energy is assimilated by the cold. The names or the diseases are determined by the viscus to which the guest energy befalls."

帝日:地化奈何?岐伯日:司天同候，间气皆然。帝日:间气何谓?岐伯日:司左右者，是谓间气也。帝日:何以异之?岐伯日:主岁者纪岁，间气者纪步也。帝日:善。岁主奈何? 岐伯日:厥阴司天为风化，在泉为酸化，司气为苍化，间气为动化。少阴司天为热化，在泉为苦化，不司气化，居气为灼化。太阴司天为湿化，在泉为甘化，司气为黅化，间气为柔化。少阳司天为火化，在泉为苦化，司气为丹化，间气为明化。阳明司天为燥化，在泉为辛化，司气为素化，间气为清化。太阳司天为寒化，在泉为咸化，司气为玄化，间气为藏化。故治病者，必明六化分治，五昧五色所生，五藏所宜，乃可以言盈虚病生之绪也。

Yellow Emperor said:"What is the assimilating condition when the energy is affecting the earth energy?" Qibo said:"It is similar with the energy that controls the heaven energy. and the condition of the intermediate energy is also the same."

Yellow Emperor asked:" What is the intermediate energy?" Qibo said; "It is the energy that takes charge in the left or right side of the energy that controls the heaven energy and that effects the earth energy."

Yellow Emperor asked: "What is the difference of the energy that controls the heaven energy, the energy that affects the earth energy and the intermediate energy?" Qibo said:" The energy that controls heaven energy and that affects the earth energy dominates the energy activity of the whole year and the intermediate energy dominates the energy activity for sixty days (one pace )."

Yellow Emperor said: "Good. What is the condition of the energy that dominates the year?" Qibo said: "When Jueyin is controlling the heaven energy, it is assimilated by the wind, when it is affecting the earth energy, it is assimilated by the sourness, when it dominates the year's motion, it is assimilated by the green colour. When it is the intermediate energy, it is assimilated by the mobility. When Shaoyin is controlling the heaven energyv it is assimilated by the heat. when it is affecting the earth energy, it is assimilated by the bitterness, as a monarch, when Shaoyin does not dominate the year's motion, it is the intermediate energy, and is assimilated by the scorching heat. When Taiyin is controlling the heaven energy, it is assimilated by the wetness. When it is affecting the earth energy, it is assimilated by the sweetness, when it dominates the year's motion, it is assimilated by the yellow colour, when it is the intermediate energy, it is assimilated by the softness, when Shaoyang is controlling the heaven energy, it is assimilated by the fire, when it is affecting the earth energy, it is assimilated by the bitterness, when it dominates the year's motion, itis assimilated by the red colour, when it is the intermediate energy, it is assimilated by the brightness, when Yangming is controlling the heaven energy, it is assimilated by the dryness. When it is affecting the earth energy, it is asimilated by the acridness, when it is dominating the year's motion, it is assimilated by the plainness, when it is the intermediate energy, it is assimilated by the coolness. When Taiyang is controlling the heaven energy, it is assimilated by the cold, when it is affecting the earth energy, it is assimilated by the saltiness, when it is dominating the year's motion, it is assimilated by the black colour, when it is the intermediate energy, it is assimilated by the energy of storing.

"Thus, when treating, one must understand the different functions of the energy activities of the six energies, the functions produced by the five tastes and the five colours and what the five viscera like and dislike, then can one know the threads of the surplus and the deficiency of the energy activity and the diseaes."

帝曰:厥阴在泉而酸化，先余知之矣。风化之行也何如?岐伯日:风行于地，所谓本也，余气同法。本乎天者，天之气也，本乎地者，地之气也，天地合气，六节分而万物化生矣。故日:谨侯气宜，无失病机，此之谓也。

Yellow Emperor said:"I have known when Jueyin is affecting the earth energy, it will be assimilated by the sourness, but what is the condition when it is assimilated by wind?" Qibo said: "When Jueyin is affecting the earth energy, the wind moves about earth and the earth energy is assimilated by the wind, and the other five energies are likewise. When the six energies are controlling the heaven energy, they belong to the heaven energy, when the six energies are affecting the earth energy, they belong to the earth energy, when the heaven energy and the earth energy join together, there occur the delimitations of the six stages of the energies, and, in this way, can all things be growing and transforming. Thus, one must pay good attention to the observation of the weather change, and must not let slip the change of treating the diseaes."
