Huangdi, The Yellow Emperor


Yellow Emperor asked Qi-Bo:

"The laws of needling dictate that acupuncture should be, first and foremost, based upon the spirit. Blood, blood vessels, nutritive energy, vital energy, along with pure essence and the spirit, are stored in five viscera. When the five viscera lose energy due to imbalance in seven emotions and excessive desires, it will cause a loss of reproductive energy, a dispersion of mental strength, a confusion of will and intention, a deviation of decision and planning. Why is that?"


Qi-Bo replied:

"Virtue is what Heaven bestows on us. Energy is what Earth bestows on us. Life is a product of an interaction between the virtue of Heaven and energy of Earth. Reproductive energy is the source of life. The spirit comes about as a result of the struggle between the two kinds of reproductive energy. Mental consciousness travels along with the spirit; strength travels in and out with reproductive energy. Mind is responsible for the performance of activities. Intention directs the mind to perform activities. Will carries out the decision made by intention; deliberation studies the plans for fulfilling the wishes of will...”
