黄帝内经·素问
Overall Paraphrase
The Yellow Emperor asked: What are the essential principles of diagnosis and acupuncture?
Qi Bo replied: From the pattern of correspondence between the qi of heaven and earth across the four seasons and the qi of the human body — In the first and second months, the qi of heaven begins to rise and stir, the qi of earth begins to sprout, and the qi mechanism of the human body is predominantly vibrant in the Liver. In the third and fourth months, the qi of heaven is at its peak, the qi of earth is fully dispersed, and the qi mechanism of the human body is predominantly vibrant in the Spleen. In the fifth and sixth months, the qi of heaven is at its fullest, the qi of earth rises to its height, and the qi mechanism of the human body is predominantly vibrant in the Head. In the seventh and eighth months, the yin qi begins its withering and descending influence, and the qi mechanism of the human body is predominantly vibrant in the Lungs. In the ninth and tenth months, yin qi begins to condense, the qi of earth begins to close and store, and the qi mechanism of the human body is predominantly vibrant in the Heart. In the eleventh and twelfth months, the earth is sealed in ice, the qi of earth is completely closed, and the qi mechanism of the human body is predominantly vibrant in the Kidneys.
Therefore, in spring, acupuncture should be applied to the scattered points on the surface, in the interstices of the flesh and sinews; stop once blood appears. For severe cases, stop after the qi has been transmitted through the channels. For mild cases, once the qi has circulated once around the channels, that suffices. In summer, acupuncture should be applied to the luo (connecting) vessels; stop once blood appears, and when the qi has fully dispersed and the needle openings close, the painful condition will certainly be resolved. In autumn, acupuncture should be applied to the skin, following the patterns of the flesh, with the same method for upper and lower regions; stopping once the complexion changes shows the intended response. In winter, acupuncture should be applied to the deep points and interstices; insert deeply for severe conditions, and shallowly and dispersedly for mild ones. Each of the four seasons has its appropriate needling method, always conforming to the location of the qi at that time.
If one ignores seasonal regulations in needling and uses methods contrary to tetany against season –
Spring needling at summer level: The pulse becomes chaotic, qi is weak; evil qi penetrates the marrow. The disease will not be cured and will lead to lack of appetite, lack of qi, and fatigue. 🌿
Spring needling at autumn level: The sinews become spasmodic and contract, qi counterflows and the patient develops cough seizures or repeated conditions of fright; the disease will not be cured and the patient will experience periodic terror and a tendency to sob. 💨
Spring needling at winter level: Pathogenic qi penetrates deeply and becomes internally derived lethargy and stagnant qi; causing abdominal distention, the disease not cured and the patient left having frequent lapses into talkativity.
Summer needling at spring level: The disease will not be cured, and produces a chronic indolent, detached languor and over-inclination to lethargy. 😮💨
Summer needling at autumnal level: The disease will not be cured, and generates a feeling in the heart of withheld and effort-covered agitation of fearfulness and tremble in avoidance, as though about to be seized. 😰
Summer needling at winter level: The disease is not cured, and results in shortness of resilience, mood swings presenting as frequent angers and heats of substance arousal (fire being combustible). 🔥
Autumn needling at spring level: The disease is not cured and is accompanied by the feeling of spiritual flux and pettiness, start-out-kind initiative that proves complete forgetfulness to arise and memories lapses upon rising. 😵💫
Autumn needling at summer level: The disease is not cured, potentially worsening into continual afflictive drowsiness hypersomnia fluss due to spirit drain, and consequently ends up multiplied in anxious non-construable agitating interlusions - or simple: gets into nervous episodes bringing somnolent escalation and multiplying dreaming height. 😴
Autumn needling at winter level: The disease is not cured, inducing distinct episodic shivering chills from without and repeated chills inner generated (marked as algidity periods in alteration) produced chilling harsh streams — all adding chill that prolongs lack hardening patterns persisting; using symptomology designated: ongoing continuous recurrently profuse fluid chilling unease presented regular shock; all forming manifest along for trembles. 🌊
Winter needling at spring level: The disease fails to resolve with desperate desire without amenity reaches no matter lie (giving ambivalent—i.e., cannot choose ret in exhaustion), that induces shallowness through reduced paralysis that tends with hallucinatory fabrication where and inward looming mirages — obviously somnipathy deliri(a) symptomatol). 👁️
Winter needling at summer level: The disease too not heals; cause the ascent and reverse ramping of qi surges, as qi rise assumes many a stiffness causes to devolving into various impediment arthritis-like blocking patterns labeled bimodal tether(s) causing ve(st). ‘Various types of arthralgia obstruction (closed impedance conditions as well). 💨
Winter needling at autumn level: The disease is other likewise never recovers, giving ongoing marked thirst arising of disturbance sequence that extends dry constraint (gu fen). 💧
Wherever one places needless piers toward chest and abdominal areas, it is imperative by rule precaution to remove risk to the five yin–viscera penetration risk.
