外揣/Wai Chuai
(Determination from Outside)
黃帝日:余聞九針九篇，余親授其調(diào)[余親授其調(diào):《太素》卷十九《要知道》“授”作“受”]，頗得其意。夫九針者，始于一而終于九，然未得其要道也。夫九針者，小之[之:《甲乙》卷五第七無此字]則無內(nèi)，大之則無外，深不可為下，高不可為蓋[深不可為下，高不可以蓋:《甲乙》卷五第七無“深不”十字]，恍惚無窮，流溢無極，余知其合于天道人事四時之變也，然余愿[愿:《太素》卷十九《要知道》“愿”下有“聞”字]雜之毫毛，渾束為一，可乎?岐伯日:明乎哉問也，非獨(dú)針道焉，夫治國亦然。
Yellow Emperor said: "I have heard the nine-chapter about the nine kinds of needle, I have grasped its meaning personlly and know the meaning from the first kind to the ninth kind of needles approximately, but I do not understand its meaning thoroughly. In the principle of the nine kinds of needle, its meticulousness contained inside can not be smaller, and its extensiveness involved outside can not be larger. Its profoundness seem dim and boundless, and its applications are overflowing without end. I know its conditions are changing along with the law of heaven, the affairs of man and the variations of the four seasons, but I want to know whether it is possible to sum up the details which are as fine as the fine hair into a general programme?" Qibo said: "You are asking a brilliant question, it is not only necessary to have a general programme in acupuncture, but also necessary to have one in ruling a country."
黃帝日:余愿聞針道，非國事也。岐伯日:夫治國者，夫惟道焉，非道，何可小大深淺，雜合而為一乎?
Yellow Emperor said:"What I want to hear is about the principle of acupuncture, not ruling a country." Qibo said:"When ruling a country, it must base on a principle, if there is no principle, how can one sum up the tremendous small and large, complex and simple things into a general programme?"
黃帝日:愿卒聞之。岐伯日:日與月焉，水與鏡焉，鼓與響焉。夫日月之明，不失其影，水鏡之察，不失其形，鼓響之應(yīng)，不后其聲，動搖則應(yīng)和，盡得其情。
Yellow Emperor said: "I hope to hear the details about it." Qibo said: "It can be analogized with the sun and moon, water and the mirror and the drum and the sound of the drumbeat; the sun and moon are bright, but they can by no means without shadow, the water and the mirror are limpid and clear, but they can by no means remove their physical form, the responding sound of the drum can by no means later than the drumstick hitting the drum, and one will know the existence whenever there is a response. When one understands all of them, he will be able to master the therapy of acupuncture."
黃帝日:窘乎哉!昭昭之明不可蔽。其不可蔽，不失陰陽也。合而察之，切而驗之，見而得之，若清水明鏡之不失其形也。五音不彰，五色不明，五藏波蕩，若是則內(nèi)外相襲，若鼓之應(yīng)桴，響之應(yīng)聲，影之似形。故遠(yuǎn)者司外揣內(nèi)，近者司內(nèi)揣外，是謂陰陽之極，天地之蓋，請藏之靈蘭之室，弗敢使泄也。
Yellow Emperor said: "How critical! The illuminating light can not be concealed as it can not be divorced from the principle of Yin and Yang opposing each other. In treating, one should examine the overall conditions of the patient, verify it through palpation and obtain the condition of the disease by inspection, in this way, the condition of the discase will be as clear as the water and mirror without distortion. The voice and the complexion of the patient are the reflections of the functions of the internal organs, when the five tones are not resounding, the five colours are not distinct, it shows the five solid organs are wavering: it is the case of the interior and the exterior affecting each other, the reflection outside will like the drum responding to the drumbeat, and like the shadow appearing simultaneously with the body. Therefore, when observing the voice and complexion of the patient from outside, one can determine the syndrome of the organ inside; when inspecting the conditions of internal organ from inside, one can determine the changes of the voice and complexion outside. It can be considered to be the extreme of Yin and Yang changes, and the principle involving heaven and earth. I will keep it in the library of orchid chamber and be careful not to lose it."
