また曰く、丙は炳（明らか）也、日輪炎熱等の火也。これを君火と云う。丁は火の弟也、また南方を司る。また曰く、丁は灯也、民家日用の火也。これを相火と云う。戊は土の兄也、中央に位し四季の土用を主り五常の信に配す。また曰く、戊は母也、五穀草木を生む母也。己は土の弟也。また曰く、己は起也、一切の器物を起して人民の作用を助ける也。庚は金の兄也、西方の秋を司り五常の礼に配し万物を収める方位也。故に云う、庚は更也、更改也。万物は木の世に生じ、金の世に更わり収まる也。辛は金の弟也、また秋に配す。また云う、辛は新也、万物更新なる也。壬は水の兄也、北の方の冬を司り五常の智に配す。また云う、壬は妊也、万物は金の世に収まり木の世に生ずる。癸は水の弟也。また曰く、癸は揆也、水は万物を揆る始め、智は万計を揆る本也。
子（九つ）始め、丑（八つ）結ぶ、寅（七つ）開く、卯（六つ）茂る、辰（五つ）震う、巳（四つ）止まる、午（九つ）外立つ、未（八つ）味わう、申（七つ）身、酉（六つ）知らへ、戌（五つ）破る・帰る、亥（四つ）絶える・尽きる。
子は根也、夜九つ夜半と云う。これは陰の終わり陽の始め也。故に子の字は了（終わる）と一（始め）の字を合わせて子とす。万物を生む根也。丑は極陰にして陽気を失う也。夜八つ鶏鳴と云う、物の終わり也。寅は陰気が陽気に捕らえられる也。朝七つ平旦と云い、平らに且つ昇る気あり。卯は日を生む也。朝六つ夜明けと云い、人が戸を開く時也。故に卯の字は戸の字を左右に開いた形也。辰は日昇り立つ也。朝五つ食時と云い、陽の極数也。巳は日の気満つ。昼四つ禺中と云い、日が中に禺（のぼ）る也。陽気満ち昇る也。午は陽気生まれる也。昼九つ日中と云い、日中天に昇れば傾く外なし。未は日通じ也、則ち日の辻也。昼八つ日昳と云う。申は日去也。昏七つ晡時と云う。猿の性の騒がしきは晡前の忙しきに応ず。酉は日収まる也。昏六つ日入と云う。閂の字は卯に反して戸を打ち合わせ横木を入れた形也。戌は陽気去る也。昏五つ黄昏と云う。また戌は戌（破る）也、陰気陽を破る也。草木霜に破れ滅びる也。亥は陽気帰る也。夜四つ人定と云う。微陽が盛陰と交わり人定まって妊む時也。草木帰って萌芽を孕む也。戌で破る、亥にて地震は尽きる也。子より始めて末広の春以後より地震を指して万歳楽と云う。
既に十月二日の大地震は辰の日にて夜の五つ過ぎ四つ前にて戌の下刻也。戌亥西北に当たり、戌は土に主り亥は水に司る。辰は東南に当たり土に主る所、此の節土中潤い多く、その気万物を更えんとすれど未だ上の陽気若く時至らずして発することあたわず。その気変じて地震となる。辰に震う急也。戌は破る、亥は絶えるの諺にして一年の終り一日の仕舞也。一旦吹き出し震崩とも、その翌日巳の日にて巳は止まる故に地震の元を失う也。過ぎれば子の刻に移り、子は九つにして陰の終わり陽の始めなれば、

これは天地が乾伸し万物五穀を生む根也。以ってここを押し時は凶年の兆しにあらず、豊年の瑞実に始まれる御世の祥瑞たるを示して、人の惑いを解き忌み疑う人なからんことを庶幾（こいねが）うと云う。
もっとも地形定まるまでその気ありといえども、再び大地震の憂いなきか。しかしながら天質は測りがたし。御用心肝要なり。

**From the upper right:**
It is also said that Bing means "bright"—the fire of the sun's wheel, flames, and heat. This is called sovereign fire. Ding is the younger brother of fire, and also governs the south. It is also said that Ding means "lamp"—the fire of daily use in people's homes. This is called ministerial fire. Wu is the elder brother of earth, positioned in the center, governing the earth periods of the four seasons and corresponding to trustworthiness among the Five Constants. It is also said that Wu means "mother"—the mother that gives birth to the five grains and all plants. Ji is the younger brother of earth. It is also said that Ji means "to raise"—raising all implements and assisting people's activities. Geng is the elder brother of metal, governing autumn in the west, corresponding to propriety among the Five Constants, and is the direction that gathers all things. Therefore it is said that Geng means "to change"—renewal and transformation. All things are born in the world of wood and change and are gathered in the world of metal. Xin is the younger brother of metal, also corresponding to autumn. It is also said that Xin means "new"—all things are renewed. Ren is the elder brother of water, governing winter in the north and corresponding to wisdom among the Five Constants. It is also said that Ren means "pregnant"—all things are gathered in the world of metal and born in the world of wood. Gui is the younger brother of water. It is also said that Gui means "to measure"—water is the beginning of measuring all things, wisdom is the foundation of measuring all plans.
Zi (9 o'clock) beginning, Chou (8 o'clock) binding, Yin (7 o'clock) opening, Mao (6 o'clock) flourishing, Chen (5 o'clock) shaking, Si (4 o'clock) stopping, Wu (9 o'clock) standing out, Wei (8 o'clock) tasting, Shen (7 o'clock) body, You (6 o'clock) knowing, Xu (5 o'clock) breaking/returning, Hai (4 o'clock) ending/exhausting.
Zi means "root"—the 9th night hour called midnight. This is the end of yin and beginning of yang. Therefore, the character zi combines the characters for "ending" and "beginning." It is the root that gives birth to all things. Chou is extreme yin and loses yang energy—the 8th night hour called cock-crow, the end of things. Yin is when yin energy is captured by yang energy—the 7th morning hour called level dawn, when there is energy rising levelly. Mao gives birth to the sun—the 6th morning hour called daybreak, when people open their doors. Therefore, the character mao has the shape of opening door panels left and right. Chen is when the sun rises and stands—the 5th morning hour called meal time, the extreme number of yang. Si is when the sun's energy is full—the 4th daytime hour called mid-morning, when the sun climbs to the middle. Yang energy fills and rises. Wu is when yang energy is born—the 9th daytime hour called midday; when the sun climbs to the middle of heaven, it can only decline. Wei means the sun penetrating—that is, the crossroads of the sun—the 8th daytime hour called afternoon decline. Shen means the sun departing—the 7th evening hour called late afternoon. The restless nature of monkeys corresponds to the busyness before evening. You means the sun is gathered—the 6th evening hour called sunset. The character for door bar is the reverse of mao, showing doors closed together with a crossbar inserted. Xu means yang energy departs—the 5th evening hour called dusk. Also, xu means "to break"—yin energy breaks yang. Plants and trees are broken by frost and perish. Hai means yang energy returns—the 4th night hour called people settle. When slight yang mingles with abundant yin, people settle and conceive. Plants and trees return and conceive buds. At xu there is breaking; at hai earthquakes end. Starting from zi, pointing to earthquakes after the spring that spreads to the end, this is called "ten thousand years of joy."
The great earthquake of the 2nd day of the 10th month was on a chen day, past the 5th night hour and before the 4th, in the lower part of the xu hour. Xu and hai correspond to the northwest; xu governs earth and hai governs water. Chen corresponds to the southeast and governs earth. At this season there is much moisture in the soil, and though the energy would transform all things, the yang energy above is still young and the time has not yet come for it to manifest. This energy transforms and becomes an earthquake. Shaking at chen is sudden. Xu means breaking and hai means ending—these are sayings about the end of the year and the finish of the day. Though it bursts forth and shakes and collapses momentarily, the next day is a si day, and since si means stopping, the source of earthquakes is lost. When it passes, it moves to the zi hour, and since zi is the 9th hour and the end of yin and beginning of yang,

This is heaven and earth stretching forth, the root that gives birth to all things and the five grains. Therefore, when we examine this, it is not a sign of bad years but shows that it is an auspicious omen of an age that has truly begun with abundant harvests. I hope to resolve people's confusion and that there will be no one who harbors taboos and doubts.
Though it is true that this energy exists until the earth's form is settled, there should be no more worry about great earthquakes. However, heaven's nature is unfathomable. Vigilance remains essential.
