辯偽錄 2.22

2.22

"Round three and five, an inch and one tenth;
The opening four and eight, with two-inch lips.
Two feet in length, uniform in thickness;
The belly triple-adjusted, calmly emitting warmth.
Yin is above, while yang runs downward;
Martial at head and tail, civil in the middle.
Beginning in seventy, ending in three decades;
Two hundred within, well-tempered and even.
The yin fire is white, the yellow sprouts lead;
The two gather together, assisting humankind.
The child dwells in the palace, preserved in safety;
Roaming to and fro, without leaving the gates."
