The Yellow Emperor Chapter 69 – Basic Question – The Great Treatise on the Interactions and Transformations of Qi 气交变大论
This Chapter is a dialogue from the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, specifically Chapter 69, "The Great Treatise on the Interactions and Transformations of Qi." The Yellow Emperor questions Qibo about the principles governing the interplay of celestial phenomena, earthly influences, and human physiology, particularly focusing on the Five Movements (elements) and their effects on nature and humans. Qibo explains how excesses and deficiencies in these elements, mirroring celestial alignments, cause imbalances resulting in disease. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these interactions to maintain health and harmony with the Dao. Finally, the text highlights the need for careful preservation and transmission of this knowledge.
