Six Forms of Qi (Vital Force)
氣的六種表現(xiàn)形態(tài)?！傲鶜狻币徽f(shuō)最早見(jiàn)于《左傳》。“氣”是構(gòu)成一切有形之物的基本材料，充盈流動(dòng)于天地之間?！皻狻痹谶\(yùn)行變化中表現(xiàn)為六種不同的形態(tài)，即陰、陽(yáng)、風(fēng)、雨、晦（黑夜）、明（白晝），統(tǒng)稱(chēng)為“六氣”。陰與陽(yáng)、風(fēng)與雨、晦與明，兩兩相對(duì)。在六者的相互作用中，生成了更為復(fù)雜多樣的人與自然的現(xiàn)象。
This term means six different forms of qi (vital force). Their earliest mention is found in Zuo's Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals. Qi is the basic element of all things corporeal, and flows between heaven and earth. It manifests itself in six different forms: yin, yang, wind, rain, darkness (night), and light (day). They appear in pairs of opposites: yin versus yang, wind versus rain, and darkness versus light. Their interaction produces complicated and varied forms of human and other natural phenomena.
