釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 8.58

8.58

心為朱雀，腎為玄武，肝為青龍，肺為白虎，脾為勾陳。此五種眾生，則攝一切世間禽獸悉在其內。亦為五姓，謂宮、商、角、徵、羽，一切萬姓並在其內。對書典則為五經，一切書史並從此出。若對工巧，即是五明、六藝，一切技術悉出其間。當知此身雖小，義與天地相關。如是說身，非但直是五陰世間，亦是國土世間。

The heart is the Vermilion Bird; the kidneys are the Dark Warrior; the liver is the Azure Dragon; the lungs are the White Tiger; and the spleen is the Yellow Dragon (Gouchen). These five kinds of sentient beings encompass all mundane birds and beasts entirely within them. They also constitute the five surnames—namely, gong, shang, jue, zhi, and yu—with all ten thousand surnames contained entirely within them. In corresponding to written scriptures, they are the Five Classics, and all histories and texts derive from them. If corresponding to crafts, they are the five fields of knowledge and the six arts, and all technical skills derive from among them. One should know that although this body is small, its significance is interconnected with heaven and earth. Speaking of the body in this way, it is not merely the realm of the five aggregates, but also the realm of the country.
