Huangdi said: The five zang organs ⁽¹⁾, they store the essence, spirit, and soul. The six fu organs receive water and grain and transform them into substances ⁽²⁾. Their qi internally connects to the five zang organs ⁽³⁾, and externally connects to the limbs and joints. The floating qi that does not follow the meridians ⁽⁴⁾, is Weiqi. The essential qi that travels through the meridians is the Rong qi. Yin and yang follow each other, internally and externally interconnected, like a ring without end ⁽⁵⁾, continuously and smoothly ⁽⁶⁾, who can exhaust it? However, their differentiation of yin and yang, all have branches and roots, deficiency and excess, and the places where they separate. Those who can differentiate the yin and yang of the twelve meridians know where diseases arise. Observing the location of deficiency and excess ⁽⁷⁾, can determine the severity of the disease. Those who know the qi pathways of the six fu organs can understand the knots and connections at the gates ⁽⁸⁾. Those who know the hardness and softness of deficiency and excess know where to tonify and purge. Those who know the branches and roots of the six meridians can be free from confusion in the world.
