Sān-Guān Zhāng-Dì Shí-Bā
The 'Three Barriers' (the Mouth, Hand, and Foot)
Chapter Number Eighteen

Sān-Guān Zhī Zhōng Jīng-Qì Shēn
There are 'Three Barriers' (the Mouth, Hand, and Foot).
In the Center one
the basic motive Qi of Life resides, deep and intense.

[Page 6]

Wèi Guān Yuán Zhī Zhōng Nán-Zǐ Zàng Jīng Zhī Suō Yĕ Yòu Jù Xià Wén Kŏu-Shŏ -Zú
It means that the Barrier known as 'Primal Center' is because
a man can store up his Essence (Jing) in this place.
To repeat, according to the [three] characters below,
the Mouth, Hands, and Feet

Wéi Sān-Guān Yòu Yuán Yáng Zǐ Yǐ Míng-Táng Dòng-Fáng Dān-Tián
stand for the 'Three Barriers'.
Furthermore, one is the base of Primary Yang,
the 'Young Son' of the Bright Hall (located one inch behind the frontal sinus),
the Bridal Chamber (a portion of the Brain),
and the 'Cinnabar Field'

Wéi Sān-Guān Bìng Jiē Kĕ-Yǐ Zhàng Wén Qŭ Zhī Ér Cún Yĕ
The 'Three Barriers' (the Mouth, Hand, and Foot)
combine in complete cooperation with each other.
Likewise, they do so in the sense that they are receivers,
facilitating the places used for accumulation and storage.
