4.56

“Establishment” means that vegetables sprout and the yin and yang grow; “Removal” means that alternation functions to adjust; “Fullness” means that the spirits receive offerings and there is no more surfeit; “Levelness” means that the yang qi congeals and abides without increase or decrease; “Settling” means that ghosts and spirits interface and evil vapors do not circulate; “Grasping” means that yin qi predominates while yang qi is scarce; “Breaking” means the discussion of resolving and breaking apart the yin and yang; “Danger” means the heavenly window opens and the earthly door closes; “Success” means that yang qi is sufficient and yin qi aligns, hence it is named “Success”; “Harvest” means that yang qi circulates, yin becomes level, and sprouts grow, hence it is called “Harvest”; “Opening” means that the yin nature opens and yang qi emerges, hence it is named “Opening”; “Closing” is analogized to the heavenly window and earthly door being solemn, shut tight, and blocked, so that the myriad spirits do not wander, hence it is named “Closing.” These are the names of the spirits of the five precepts.
