The Great Treatise on the Tianyuan Record

The Yellow Emperor asked, "Heaven has the five elements to control the five, giving rise to cold, heat, dryness, dampness and wind. Man has the five storage elements to transform the five qi, giving rise to joy, anger, thought and fear." It is said that the five cycles alternate and all are governed, and the day of eventual recuperation repeats itself. I already know this. I wish to hear how it can be combined with the three Yin and three Yang syndromes? The Guiyu District bowed his head and paid homage to the sun again: "What a clear question!" The Five elements of Yin and Yang are the laws of heaven and earth, the regulations of all things, the parents of change, the origin of life and death, and the abode of deities. How could they not be understood? Therefore, when things come into being, it is called transformation; when things reach their extreme, it is called change; when Yin and Yang are unpredictable, it is called divinity; when divinity is used in an unpredictable way, it is called sainthood. The application of change lies in the mysterious in the heavens, the Dao in human beings, and thus in the earth. The five years of Huasheng give rise to wisdom, and Xuan gives rise to the divine. God is wind in the sky and wood on the earth. It is heat in the sky and fire on the earth. It is wet in heaven and above on earth. It is dryness in the sky and metal on the earth. It is cold in the sky and water on the earth. Therefore, in the sky it is qi, and on the earth it takes shape. When form and qi interact with each other, all things are born. However, the universe is the upper and lower part of all things. Left and right are the paths of Yin and Yang. Water and fire are the signs of Yin and Yang. The metal and wood g represent the ultimate destination of generation. The amount of qi varies, and so does the form. The upper and lower levels respond to each other, and thus the gains and losses become more prominent. The emperor said, "What would it be like when I hear the master of the five elements?" The Guiyu District states: The five qi are in motion and each comes to an end on a certain day, not a single dominant time. The emperor said, "Please listen to what he has said." The Guiyu District Day: Chen Jikao's "Taishi Tianyuan Book" text states: The vast expanse of the universe, the origin of the primordial transformation, the beginning of all things, the end of the five cycles, the true and spiritual distribution of qi, the unification of the Kun primordial, the nine stars hanging in the sky, the seven rays circulating, the Yin of the sun and the Yang of the fields, the softness of the sun and the hardness of the sun, the seclusion and manifestation of the position, the alternation of cold and heat, the transformation of life and life, and the formation of chapters in all things. This is what is meant by "The Tenth Generation of Ministers". The emperor said, "Good." What does it mean that there is a certain amount of energy and a certain degree of prosperity or decline in form? The Ghost Yu District Sun: How much Yin and Yang energy there is respectively, the sun is three Yin and three Yang. There are waxes and wanes in form, which is called the governance of the five elements. Each has its own excesses and deficiencies. Therefore, at the beginning, when there is surplus, one follows; when there is deficiency, one follows; when there is deficiency, one follows; knowing to welcome and follow, the energy can be expected. Responding to heaven is the celestial symbol, inheriting the year is the straight year, and the three combinations are the governance. The emperor said, "What can be done when summoned by both superiors and subordinates?" The sun in the Guiyu District: Cold, heat, dryness, dampness, wind and fire are the Yin and Yang of heaven. The three Yin and three Yang complement each other. Water, fire, earth, metal, water and fire are the Yin and Yang of the earth. They grow, transform, store and respond to each other. Heaven gives birth to brightness and growth through Yang, and earth kills Yin and stores through Yang. The sky has Yin and Yang, and so does the earth. Wood, fire, earth, metal, water and fire, the Yin and Yang of the earth, grow, transform and store. Therefore, there is Yin within Yang and Yang within Yin. Therefore, those who wish to understand the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth should respond to the qi of heaven, moving without ceasing. That is why they moved to the right at the age of five. In response to the energy of the earth, one remains still and holds one's position. Therefore, the six domestic animals gather together, movement and stillness call each other, the upper and lower parts are adjacent, Yin and Yang are in conflict, and thus change arises. Emperor's Day: How many times are there from the previous week to the next? The day in the Guiyu District: The sky is governed by six, and the earth by five. For weekly weather, six volumes make up one backup. When the age of five is considered as one week, the ruler's fire becomes clear and the phase's fire is in position. The five and six are in harmony, and the seven hundred and twenty qi make up one ji. A king is ten years old. A thousand four hundred and forty breaths, at the age of sixty, constitute a week, which is not too much. I have seen this before. The day of the Emperor: The words of the master, the upper end of the weather and the lower end of the earth's discipline, can be said to be all understood. I wish to hear about it and keep it hidden, to govern the people at the top and myself at the bottom, to make the people famous, to promote harmony between the upper and lower levels, to bestow virtue upon the lower ranks, and to ensure that descendants have no worries: to be passed down to future generations, without an end. Can it be heard? The day in the Guyu District: The ultimate opportunity, forced to be connected in minute detail, its coming can be seen and its going can be traced. Those who respect others will thrive, while those who are arrogant will perish. Those who act privately without the right path will surely suffer the calamity of heaven. In accordance with the teachings of Heaven, please speak the truth. The day of the Emperor: Those who speak well at the beginning will surely understand until the end, and those who speak well near will surely know its distance. In this way, one will reach several extremes and the way will not be confused. This is what is called enlightenment. May the Master take pleasure in it, make it well-organized, simple yet not fragmented, long-lasting yet never lacking, easy to use and unforgettable, and organize it in an orderly manner. The most essential points, I wish to hear them all. GUI Yu Qu Ri: What a clear question! What a clear way! Just as a drum responds to a sound, so does its sound. Upon hearing this, I, at my age, will take charge of the earth's fortune. In the year of Yi Geng, Jin Yun took charge. In the year of Bingxin, water transportation was unified. In the year of Ding Ren, water transportation will be unified. In the year of Wu and GUI, the fire element dominates. The emperor said, "What can be done with the combination of the three Yin and three Yang?" The day of the Guiyu District: In the year of Zi and Wu, one sees the Lesser Yin above. In the year of Chou Wei, one sees the Supreme Yin. In the year of Yin Shen, the upper position shows Shaoyang. In the year of MAO You, he met Wang Yangming. In the year of Chen Cheng, the sun rises above. At the age of Yi Hai, I saw a clear and bright appearance. The Lesser Yin is called the standard, and the Jueyin is called the end. Above the Jueyin, the qi governs it. Above Shao Ming, the heat dominates. Above the Taiyin, dampness arises. Above Shaoyang, Xianghuo governs it. Wang Yangming's dagger was dominated by the noise of qi. Above the sun, coldness prevails. The so-called "essence" refers to the six elements. The emperor said, "How glorious is the way!" What a clear statement! The jade plate written by the author was kept and a plaque was signed with the date (Tianyuan Ji).
