The Supreme Superior’s Jade Canon on the External view of the Yellow Court

[Bindi]

I have read that the External Yellow Court Scripture is considered to be the first internal alchemy text, and that almost all Taoist internal alchemy texts have been modelled on it. I have access to three different translations, one by Jane Huang (actually her father’s translation) in The Primordial Breath: An Ancient Chinese Way of Prolonging Life through Breath Control Volume 2, one by Imios Archangelis and Miaoyu Lanying in Jade Writing, available online Here and one by Stuart Alve Olson in Yellow Court: The Exalted One’s External Illumination Scripture - Attributed to Lao Zi -. 

 

The external Yellow Court scripture is assumed to be written by a scholar, as it uses strictly seven words per line, no mean feat apparently in Chinese. It is divided into three chapters, I will follow Huang’s paragraphs. 

 

Chapter 1.1

太上黃庭外景玉經上

太上閑居作七言，

解說身形及諸神，

上有黃庭下關元，

後有幽闕前命門。

呼吸廬間入丹田，

玉池清水灌靈根，

審能修之 可長存。

 

The Exalted One’s Scripture on the External Illumination of the Yellow Court

Upper Chapter of the Scripture, Part One.

Above there is the Yellow Court and below the Pass of Origination.

Behind there is the Secret Watchtower and in front the Gate of Life. 
Breathe in the spaces of the Thatched Hut so to enter into the Elixir field. 
The pure water of the Jade Pool pours onto the Spiritual Root. 
If you are able to examine and cultivate this you can be long preserved. - Olson

T’ai Shang, the Supreme Superior [Lao Tzu , N.T.], in leisure living, composed the [following] seven-word  verses to explain the body and the spirits.

Up above, there is the Yellow Court and down below there is Kuan Yuan, the Primordial Pass.
In the rear is You Ch’ueh, the Dark Mysterious Gate Towers [the kidneys, N.T.], and in the front, there is Ming Men, the Gate of Life. 

Inhalations and exhalations are done through the Hut and enter into Tan T’ien, the Elixir Field. 
The clean and clear water of Yu Ch’ih, the Jade pond, is to irrigate Ling Ken, the Miraculous Root. 
Whoever can carefully nourish that may enjoy long life. - Huang

 

High Sovereign, residing in peace, wrote a seven-word scripture,

to tell the secrets how to enhance the individual form and spirit. 
Yellow Court is located above, Original Pass is located below. 
Quiet Watchtower is behind, Life Gate is at the front. 

Let your breath precipitate between three joined Dan Tian, 

and clear waters of Jade Pool irrigate Spirit Root.

Practice constantly, to achieve longevity. - Archangelis and Lanying

Perfectly, yet succinctly describes one method of practice of the MCO and transformation of jing to qi.

[Bindi]

黃庭中人衣朱衣，

關門壯籥合兩扉，

幽闕俠之高巍巍，

丹田之中精黑微。

玉池清水上生肥，

靈根堅固老不衰。

 

Within the Yellow Court are persons dressed in vermillion robes.

In the Pass of Origination behind the two closed doors [is a person] with a beautiful flute.

In the Secret Watchtower are very imposing and lofty heroes.

The subtle Jing and Qi are within the Elixir field.

The pure water of the Jade Pool is the foremost fertility of life.

The Spiritual Root is strong. In old age it does not deteriorate. - Olson

 

The person in the yellow Court wears vermillion clothes.
Shut the gates, strengthen the lock, and close the two doors. 
The Dark Mysterious Gate Towers stand up high and majestically on both sides. 
In the elixir Field, the vital energy is subtle and fine. 
The clean and clear water of the Jade Pond is above it, and produces rich and beneficial nutrients
so that the Mysterious Root is strong and firm and will always be free from deteriorating. - Huang

 

Yellow Court people wear red clothes. 
The radiance of the Original Pass is tightly sealed. 
Imperial palace knight comes from the elevated space within space. 

Essence and Qi in the middle of Dan Tian are profound. 
The clear dew from the Jade pool enables pure potency from above.

Spirit root will be firm, never weakening by time. - Archangelis and Lanying

Within the pool exists a scholar clothed in red vermilion.

This spirit dwells in the three inches horizontally beneath.

The internal and the external severely obstruct one another. 
The spirit within the Thatched Hut cultivates the cure. 
The Mysterious Receptor is the tube that receives the Qi from the Essence Storehouse. 
Naturally restrain the anxious and obstinate Child’s Essence. - Stuart Alve Olson

 

In Chung Ch'ih, the Middle Pond, there is a scholar wearing red clothes.

Three inches beneath the Field is where the spirit resides.

What are inside and outside mutually resist against each other, hence the doors should be shut tightly.

Inside Shen Lu, the Divine Hut, good maintenance should be kept. 

Hsuan Ying, the Dark Breast, and the bronchial tubes receive the tally of the essence. 

One should urgently strengthen one's essence to maintain oneself. - Huang

In the middle pool, seats a high spirit in red clothes. 
At a horizontal and deep place of the three inches in each direction, 

Between the centre and the circumference of the circle, revolves to keep the residence impregnable. 

The centre of the spirit residence synchronizes the cultivation.

The mysterious opening of wind channel receives essence of the essence. 
Very carefully but resolutely strengthen fresh essence to sustain yourself. - Archangelis and Lanying

宅中有士常衣絳，

子能見之可不病，

橫立長尺約其上，

子能守之可無恙。

呼嗡廬問以自償，

保守完堅 身受慶。

 

Dwelling within [the face] is a gentleman constantly dressed in a crimson robe.
If able to see the Child, there can be no illnesses. 
From East to West regulate. Restricted to one foot in length, it is foremost. 
If able to embrace the Child, you will be unaffected by illness and disease. 
Inhaling and exhaling within the spaces of the Thatched Hut is natural restoration. 
Guarding the Child brings about good fortune for repairing and making the body strong. - Olson

 

In the Residence, there is a scholar who always wears dark scarlet clothes. 
If one can see him, one will not be ill. 
The long ruler is set horizontally on top of it. 
If one can guard that, one will be free from troubles.

The breathings through the Hut are for self-fulfilling. 
If one can keep oneself strong and intact, the body will receive the welfare. - Huang

At this seat, there is a high spirit that always wears red clothes. 
If you are able to recognize it you would never get ill. 
Around it a constant proportion is established, channeling the higher reality. 
adjoin it consistently and you will make no errors. 
Inhale and exhale from it, to accomplish self-fulfillment,

and guard the whole body firm, capable, and ready to receive the experience of wonder.

方寸之中謹蓋藏，

精神還歸老復壯。

Within the square inch pay careful attention to conceal the Storehouse. 
Old age can be reversed to fertile health through restoring the spirit of vitality. 
When the heart bonds with the Secret Watchtower it flows down unexpectedly. 
Able to command with a staff from the Jade Tree, the Child is nourished. - Olson

 

One should cover and hide carefully what is inside the cubic-inch,

so that the spirits and the essence will return and the strength of the prime years will be restored when one is old. 
Together with the downflow from You Ch’ueh, the Dark and Mysterious Gate Towers,

it will nourish one’s Yu Shu, the Jade Tree [the body, N.T.], and make the body strong and reliable. - Huang
 

Carefully hide a square inch in the centre as a safe house,

for a spirit to return the old and to recover fresh and strength.

Remote mysteries flow down to establish completeness.

至道不煩無旁午，

There will be no confusion and no troubles when arriving at the Tao.

From within the wilderness the Spiritual Terrace is approached and Heaven penetrated.

In the centre of the square inch is a barrier below. 
Within the Jade chamber are the Spiritual Doors.

Teaching my own self, the gentleman can be seen. 
The Ocean Origin is the Hall of Illumination, giving order to Four Greats. 
The True Person prepares the Child’s Elixir for the beginning of a new self. 
Within the Three Barriers are the subtle Essence and Qi.

The Child seeks to cultivate immortality on Kun Lun. - Olson

 

Chih Tao, the Utmost Tao, is not troublesome.

It has no side tracks that go athwart. 
Ling T’ai, the Divine Terrace, goes up to Heaven, and commands a view of the middle open country. 
From the cubic-inch dwelling to the place beneath the pass, and to all the doors and the windows of Yu Fang, the Jade Chamber,

are all the places where the Prince teaches me. 
Ming T’ang, the Bright Hall, reaches in all directions to the sources of the sea of ways. 
Immortal Tzu Tan is right in front of me.
In the three passes, the vital energy is thick and rich.
If you want to be free from death, you should cultivate Mt. K’un Lun,

the king of the mountains [the head, N.T.]. - Huang
 

Great Tao is easy to practice, but you cannot see it’s highest point. 
The spirit on stage, connected to the Heavens, faces the unknown in the centre. 
It descends through a square inch pass of the heavenly gate, 

entering a jade room behind the gate. 
The True Man residing there is the higher self, a teacher within. 
At the top of the upper palate, four clear rivers join the sea of origin. 
True man prepares elixir for the new Self,

on a three path junction, where Jing and Qi cross. 
If you want this gate to be impassable for death,
build it to be like the Kunlun mountain. - Archangelis and Lanying

The Xiu Zhen Tu locates this under the tounge, but since the tounge acts like a bridge (aqueduct, in this case), they are not in conflicts. 

 

There are several technical descriptions in this text that refers to Nei Dan, but it is interesting how seldom both translations manages to translate them in an useful way.

In the book by Archangelis and Lanying there is almost a third translatIon, where each Chinese word has its exact translation in English beneath it, it adds another dimension to read that alongside the two translations. I posted a link to that book in the OP, I might start doing the same thing in these posts as it adds a lot when trying to understand it.

I just ordered it (and another translation) and printed out the Huang version. 😁

You referred to this line:

 

Quote

At the top of the upper palate, four clear rivers join the sea of origin. 

 

The four interests me,  Huang sees four as referring to the four directions, Archangelis and Lanying add the word rivers to make it four rivers to fit with their concept of the sea of origin. 
 
The original line is:

 

      明               堂              四               達                 法                 海             源，

  Bright           Hall            four          to reach           law               sea          origin
      [Ming Tang]

 

I’d love to know how else this line could be translated, including the word law, which neither translator seems to have taken on board. My best understanding might be “From the Bright Hall [Mingtang] Four reach the source of the law.” 
 

Where have all our Chinese translators gone? @Taoist Texts, @dawei?

[Cleansox]

Again, rather different from Saso. 

[Bindi]

Thanks for posting this ^ Cleansox. The author of your quote (Saso?) takes a liberty in translating the ‘four’ as four directions and organs, and then go on to list five organs and directions. 
 

I think this text needs more and better translators, that’s the only way out for non-Chinese interested in it. 
 

 

[Cleansox]

Saso draws the Zheng Yi oral priest training trumph card, that's where his interpretation comes from. 

 

The question is, if some of these characters are read together, formning idioms. 

 

With Da as arrive at, Fa as method or way, and four as a shorthand for the four elements that join the fifth in the center (implied by ming tang), then we do get "the five elements join, this is the way to arrive at the primordial". 

 

Check out awakens ppd, thread five qi (something) primordial. That might be it.

絳官重樓十二級，

官室之中五黑集，

赤城之子中池立，

下有長城玄谷色。

長生要妙 房中急，

棄捐淫欲專守精，

寸田尺宅可理生，

繫系子長留心安寧。

觀志遊神三奇靈，

閑暇無事心太平。

The Zhong Lou in the Red Palace has twelve bracelets. 
Within the Precious Jade House, the Five Color’s assemble. 
Abandon lustful desires and focus intently on the Child’s Essence.

Constantly restrain the difficult Child so the heart can be peaceful. 
Direct the conscious will so that the Spirit can quickly travel to become three extraordinary immortal spirits. 
Coursing about amongst them, there will be no problem in the mind for acquiring the Great Peace. - Olson
 

 

The storied tower of Chiang Kung, the Dark Scarlet Palace, has twelve steps [the trachea, N.T.].

The five breath energies assemble in the palace.

The prince of the Red Town stands in the Middle Pond. 
Beneath it, there are the long walls and the colour of Hsuan Ku, the Dark and Mysterious Valleys. 
The important wonder for longevity is to guard the urges of sex. 

One should renounce all lusts and desires to concentrate on guarding the essence. 
A square inch Field and a foot long Residence can manage life. 
By tying oneself to the Prince to keep him to stay long, one’s mind will be peaceful and calm. 
If one can observe the will and keep the spirits roam about in relaxation,
the three wonders will be quick and miraculous. 

One will be at ease, at leisure and free from troubles, and one’s mind will enjoy great peace. -Huang

 

In a palace made of  12 continuous stores

jade hall in the middle collects the 5 colours

and red spirit manifests itself in the central pool. 
Underneath there is a Great Wall surrounding a profound valley.

Longevity demands carefulness with the room of desires underneath.

Abandon investing to lust, concentrate on the essence of your essence, Pre-Heaven Jing.
The one inch entry within a one-foot land of one’s face is so able to govern human life. 
Concentration on the formation of one’s young self makes possible for the heart to stay at peace. 
Prevent will from dissipating, but let it join three wonderful spirits. 
Let it walk between them, and there would be no problem 

keeping the heart peaceful and content. - Archangelis and Lanying

One interesting thing here is: What is the twelve storied tower?

 

Is it the trachea, which have 12-20 cartilage rings? 

Or is it the rib cage, which has 12 ribs?

 

And the square inch field in the one foot area, why is only one translation specifying the face? 

 

The description of what location we are supposed to work with here is rather confusing. 

 

Another thing worth mentioning is the usage of the term "pre-heaven jing". Is that in the text? Or is that an interpretation, adding things that actually developed later? 

 

I have a bit left in Stuart Alve Olson's translation of the External Yellow Court Classic, and then Jade Writing is next.

I’ve always seen it referred to as the trachea, for example in the Neijing  tu Diagram. I still wonder with this text though if people came along and decided it meant something, like the 12 storied tower = trachea, but was this meant by the author?

the one foot area sounds to me like the whole head, the square inch then in the middle of the head. For my own personal reasons I take this to refer to the pineal gland and the area around it. The master gland is the pituitary, this is now known to manage all the other glands, but what if this was information from inner sight, that could easily be represented by a square inch in a square foot area. I have come to believe that the glands are very important in the neidan journey.

Check out Olsen. 

He thinks that the one foot area is the entire yellow court, and that there are three of them (Jerry Alan Johnson have great images of it), and the square inch would be the dantian proper. 

 

In the middle section (which the text is about, isn't this from section two/middle section), this would be the chest area, with a focus on the red chamber. 

 

Maybe... 

I reserv the right to be wrong 😁

Eternally preserve the Spiritual Illumination penetrating the Jade Chamber. 
When meditating on the Great Granary (the stomach) there will be no more hunger and thirst. 
When this is accomplished there will be a visitation from all Six Jade Maidens.

Close off the Child at the Essence Gate to acquire the medicine for longevity

In front of the Foremost Chamber Hall is where the spirits reside. 
Cleanse the mind to self-heal rather than wither from impurity. - Olson

 

By always thinking and guarding the Jade Chamber, one’s bright spirits [Shen Ming] will arrive. 
By always thinking of T’ai Ts’ang, the Great Warehouse, one will be free from hunger and thirst. 
By commanding the six Tings, the goddesses will come to pay respect.
By blocking off the routes for the essence, one will live long.

The main chamber is where the spirits reside.
One should bathe and groom oneself and be careful not to get dirty. - Huang
 

Frequently store the attained bright light to the jade room. 
Meditate periodically on the stomach area (Great Granary) to eliminate hunger and thirst. 
Once Qi starts flowing, all six Jade girls will be also present. 
Close your essence gate to achieve longevity. 
Straighten the room in the middle so spirit would live within. 
Cleanse the heart-mind [Xin] so it would be inclined to self-healing rather than self-intoxicating.

Contemplate each of the Five Viscera and see them as revenue. 
Cultivate and heal the Six Mansions like cleaning pure silk. 
The strength of the Tao is in the Void and Naturally-Just-So. 

All things have the Naturally-Just-So, the Tao is never vexed. 
It is non-action that surrounds and bequeaths the giving of ease to the self and body.
A curtain is situated at the chamber leading to the Void. 
Remain solitary and silent so the mouth does not speak. 
 

Cultivate harmony by standing alone in the True Person’s Palace.

Roam about without desire in the Garden of Virtue, a cheerful peace. 
With fragrant incense cleanse and purify before the Jade Maidens. 
At the gate of Spiritual Penetrations cultivate Bright Virtue.

Then, one can vividly observe the five viscera and see their terms of continence. 
When the six receptacles are kept well-nurtured, they are as clean as white silk. 
Void, Inaction and Nature are Tao’s old chums. 

When beings and things are kept according to Nature, there will be no trouble. 
If one keeps inaction as a high arch does, one’s body will be free from troubles. 
The living of void and inaction is right behind the curtain.

When one is quiet, detached, silent, simple, contented and without any desires, 

 

One can enjoy leisurely tours of the Garden of Te, Virtues,

Where it is clean, quiet and fragrant, and the Jade lady will come. 
Cultivating and understanding Te, the Virtues, is the gate to Tao. 
- Huang

 

Observe five solid organs, to learn their mutual interaction and rhythm.

Six offices manage repair and cleanliness, so they are like white silk. 
Void is the nature of the strength of Tao.

Substantial is the nature of the sobriety of Tao. 

Non-action with a firm resolution makes the body relaxed and the mind concentrated.

Find the void behind the curtain of the residences of bright spirit. 
Do not interact and talk without need, so your city wall is upright and Qi doesn’t leak, 

However maintain independence and harmony with the world at the same time, 

In a stance of a True Man. 
 

Achieve inner peace and accomplish external things without effort, enjoying the Garden of Virtue. 
Clear and fragrant the passage before the entry of the Jade Girl.

Cultivate virtue to avoid distractions in your Primordial spirit manifestation. 

- Archangelis and Lanying

十二重樓當然不是氣管

 

十二重樓是真人曼陀羅

 

黃庭中人衣朱衣是玄關當中的真人，剛開始出現的時候，是紅色的光譜

 

練到後來就中間的真人會發展出更多的真人，以曼陀羅的方式排列

 

所以中間的紅色光譜的真人就是真種子

 

只是你們連烏肝光都練不出來，讀黃庭經只能亂猜一通

 

烏肝光也練不出來

 

兔髓也練不出來

 

曼陀羅也練不出來

 

更別說紅光譜的真人

 

這些都沒有

 

怎麼可能知道什麼是十二重樓呢？

 

這個寫出黃庭經的人，應該就是練到紅色光譜真人的一個古代人

 

你們如果想要知道黃庭經在講什麼，你們就要自己練到紅色光譜的真人，才有辦法真正了解他在說什麼

 

如果你們要了解什麼是黃庭經，第一步就要放掉武火，不要再用武火去催動小周天了

Of course, the twelve-fold building is not the trachea.

The twelve-fold building is a real mandala.

The human clothes in Huangting are real people in the hallway. When they first appeared, it was a red spectrum.

After practising later, the real people in the middle will develop more real people, arranged in the way of mandala.

So the real person in the red spectrum in the middle is the real seed.

It's just that you can't even practice the black liver light. Reading the Huang Tingjing can only guess randomly.

Black liver light can't be practised either.

Rabbit marrow can't be practised either.

Mandala can't be practised either.

Not to mention the real person of the red spectrum

None of these are available.

How can I know what the twelve-fold building is?

This person who wrote the Huang Tingjing should be an ancient person who practised the red spectrum.

If you want to know what Huang Tingjing is talking about, you have to practice the real person of the red spectrum by yourself to really understand what he is talking about.

If you want to know what Huang Tingjing is, the first step is to release Wuhuo. Don't use martial fire to urge Xiao Zhoutian.
