The Yellow Emperor asked, "If I were to hear the instructions of the twelve Treasuries, what would be their status?" Qi Bo said to the sun: "What a wonderful question!" Please comment on ① The True Storehouse Meridian: The original work "The Storehouse Meridian of the True Storehouse Meridian", modified according to (Tai Su). ② Suspended: The original word "urgent" here is deleted. ③ Yi: The original work is "dead", revised according to the "Taikuan and New Corrections". ④ Pingdan: There is no unity. The heart is the official organ of the ruler, from which the spirit and the mind arise. The lung is the official organ of guidance, from which the discipline and control arise. The liver is the official organ of the general, from which the strategy and planning arise. The gallbladder is the official organ of moderation, from which the decision-making arises. The muttony smell is the official organ of command and guidance, from which the joy and happiness arise. The spleen and stomach are the official organ of storage and coldness, from which the five flavors arise. The large intestine is the official organ of transmission, from which the transformation arises. The small intestine is the official organ of reception, from which the transformation arises. The kidney is the organ of strength, from which skills are derived. The triple burner is the organ of determination and reading, from which waterways are derived. The bladder is the organ of the state capital, where body fluids are stored, and when qi is transformed, they can be released. All these twelve organs must not be lost. Therefore, when the ruler is clear, the lower body will be at peace; when one maintains health through this, one will live a long life, and one will not be in danger in the end of life; when one governs the world, it will thrive. If the master is not clear, the twelve officials will be in danger, causing the path to be blocked and unobstructed, resulting in great damage to the body. If one uses this to maintain health, it will bring disaster. It is believed that the root cause of the world is in great danger. One should be cautious and vigilant! The ultimate path lies in its subtleties and is ever-changing. Who knows its origin? How embarrassing! Xiao ①, who knows its essence? In the time of Fujian's chaos, which one is the best? The number of refinement starts from the slightest increase, and the slightest increase starts from measurement. A thousand or ten thousand can increase, and the one who increases will determine its form. The Yellow Emperor said, "Well done! I have heard of the way of Jingguang and the deeds of the Great sage, and to proclaim the great way, without fasting and choosing an auspicious day, I would not dare to accept it." The Yellow Emperor then chose an auspicious day to restore the good omen and hid the room of Linglan to pass it on and protect it.
