The Original Text and Translation of Secret Books of Linglan

The Yellow Emperor asked: I would like to smell twelve dirty faces. What is your dignity? Qi Bo said to him, "It doesn't hurt to ask. Please say it! The heart is the monarch, and the god is outside. Dragon, the official to the prime minister, how to treat the festival. Liver, general, plan. Brave people and just officials decide what to do. Those in the middle of the school, I let them be officials, I am happy. Spleen and stomach, the official of granary (1), five flavors come out. People with large intestine and preachers have changed a lot. People who live in the small intestine are influenced by rich officials. Kidney, to be a strong official, you must have skills. The triple energizer is an official, and it must be blasphemed. Bladder, the official of the state (2), body fluid storage, gasification can be carried out. All these twelve officials can't lose each other.

Therefore, if you rule the Ming Dynasty, you will live a long life. If you die, you will think that the world is prosperous. If the Lord is not clear, the twelve officials will be in danger, and the road will be blocked and impassable. The appearance is a big injury. If you keep healthy, you will suffer. If you think the world is in great danger, you should quit it.

The supreme way is subtle and changeable. Who knows its origin? You know what you want when you are embarrassed. Min Min should be the best. The number of trance, born in one million, the number of millions, begins with measurement, can benefit the big, push the big, and its shape is system.

The Yellow Emperor said, "Well, I am famous for the equator. I am a great sage, but Xuan Ming Avenue can't stand it unless I fast and choose an auspicious day." . The Yellow Emperor chose auspicious days and auspicious signs, but hid Linglan's room to spread the news.

Huangdi asked: I want to hear about the division of responsibilities of the twelve organs of the human body. What is the level? Qi Bo replied: What a detailed question you asked! Please let me talk about this problem. The heart governs the whole body and is the official of the monarch. People's spiritual consciousness and thinking activities all come from the heart. The lung is the official of the Lord, just like the Lord assisting the monarch, it regulates the activities of the whole body because of the qi of the Lord. Liver, anger, courage as a general, known as the general's official, strategy comes from this. In the middle of Zhongshan, it is the priest who accepts his orders by closing his heart, and his spiritual joy is conveyed through it. The spleen and stomach control the intake and transportation of food, which is the official of the granary. The five flavors of nutrition can be digested, absorbed and transported through their functions. The large intestine is a conducting organ, which can transport the dregs of food out and make it turn into feces to be excreted. The small intestine is the official of receiving excess, which is further differentiated and turbid due to the healthy food in the stomach. Kidney is a powerful official, which can make people exert their strength and produce various skills. Blasphemous officials can cross the waterway. Bladder is the official of the state capital, which stores body fluid and excretes urine through gasification. Although the above twelve officials have a division of labor, their functions should be coordinated and cannot be separated from each other.

Therefore, the monarch is wise and smooth, and his subordinates are stable and normal. Using this principle to keep in good health can make people live longer without serious illness. If it is used to govern the world, it will make the country prosperous. If the monarch can't be wise and tactful, then the twelve officials, including himself, will be in danger, the way for various organs to play their normal role will be blocked, and the body will be seriously hurt. In this case, there is no way to preserve health and prolong life, which will only lead to disaster and shorten life. Similarly, to govern the world with the ignorance of the monarch, the regime will be in danger, so be vigilant again!

The deepest truth is subtle and unpredictable, and its changes are endless. It's really hard for anyone to know its origin clearly! Learned people study hard, but who can know its mystery! Those truths are hard to understand, just like being covered, how can we know what their essence is! Numbers that seem to have nothing come from tiny numbers of one millionth, and one millionth also comes from smaller measures. Only through the accumulation and expansion of thousands of times, can we deduce the harvest and evolve various worlds. The Yellow Emperor said: Good! I heard the pure and clear truth, which is really the foundation of the Great Sage's career. I really can't accept this grand theory if I don't concentrate on saving and choose an auspicious day. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor chose auspicious days, treasured these works in the Lan Room of Lingtai, and quickly preserved them for future generations.
