(Interpretation)
"The Yellow Emperor asked: I heard that the skin has divisions, the pulses have branches, the tendons have knots, and the bones have "Measurement." Huang Di said: "I heard that there are twelve meridians on the skin, the distribution of meridians is vertical and horizontal, the distribution of tendons is connected by knots, and the distribution of bones is long and short.
"The diseases they suffer from are different, and the parts of their skin are distinguished, left and right, up and down, where the yin and yang are, and the origin of the disease. I would like to hear the explanation." , the location of yin and yang can determine the onset and prognosis of the disease. I want to hear the truth behind this.
"Qi Bo said: If you want to know that the skin is connected by meridians, all the meridians are the same." Qi Bo said: You need to know that the parts of the skin are connected by the meridians. It is the same in every sutra.
"The yang of Yangming is called Shafei, and the upper and lower methods are the same. If there are floating collaterals in its parts, they are all collaterals of Yangming." The yang meridian of Yangming Meridian is called Shafei, and the hand , the diagnosis method of Foot Yangming Meridian is the same. The floating collaterals that belong to the upper and lower parts of it all belong to Yangming's collaterals.
"If its color is too green, it will cause pain; if it is too dark, it will cause numbness; if it is yellow or red, it will be hot; if it will be too white, it will be cold; if all five colors are seen, it will be cold and hot." If its meridians are too green, it will be Diseases and pains, if the color is dark, it is a disease, if the color is yellow and red, it is hot, and if the color is white, it is cold. If all five colors are visible, it is a disease of mixed cold and heat.
"When the collaterals are strong, they enter the meridian. Yang governs the outside, and yin governs the interior. The Yang of Shaoyang is called Shuzhi, and the upper and lower methods are the same. Those with floating collaterals in their parts are all Shaoyang. "It's the collaterals." If the evil energy of the collaterals is strong, it will be transmitted inwards into the meridians, because the collaterals are yang on the outside and the meridians are yin on the inside. The invasion of external evils usually passes through the meridians from the outside and the inside. Yes, the yang collaterals of the Shaoyang meridian are called "Shu Zhi". The diagnosis method of the Shaoyang meridian of the hands and feet is the same. Diagnosis of the collaterals present in its upper and lower parts belongs to the collaterals of Shaoyang.
"When the collaterals are strong, they enter the meridians. Therefore, those in the yang dominate the interior, and those in the yin dominate the exit, so as to penetrate into the interior. This is true for all meridians." If the evil energy of the collaterals is strong, it will go inward. When this sutra was introduced, it was said that "it is divided into yang and governs the interior", so it was said that "the part that is in yin governs the passage out and penetrates into the interior". This is true for the internal and external entry and exit of each meridian.
Today I learned to identify diseases from the skin. Let’s continue learning, that’s all for today.
