Treatise 15

傳曰：天有三辰，地有五行，五行之沴，地氣為之也。水不潤下，火不炎上，木不曲直，金不從革，土爰稼穡，稼穡不熟，是之謂失其性。五行之性本乎地，人附於地，人之五事，又應於地之五行，其洪範最初之義乎？明史五行志著其祥異，而削事應之附會，其言誠韙矣。今準明史之例，並折衷古義，以補前史之闕焉。

The classics say that heaven has its three luminaries and earth its five phases, and that when the five phases fall into disorder, it is the earth's own qi that is at fault. When water fails to moisten and sink downward, fire to blaze upward, wood to bend and grow straight, metal to yield to reshaping, and earth to bring forth the harvest—and the harvest itself does not ripen—the phases are said to have lost their proper nature. The five phases take their character from the earth itself; because human beings live upon the earth, the five human affairs answer to the earth's five phases as well—perhaps this was the earliest sense of the Great Plan. The Ming History's treatise on the five phases records portents and anomalies while cutting away forced pairings of events with cosmic responses—a sound approach indeed. Here we follow the Ming History's model, reconcile it with the ancient understanding, and thereby fill the gaps left by earlier histories.

洪範曰：「水曰潤下。」水不潤下，則為咎徵。凡恒寒、恒陰、雪霜、冰雹、魚孽、蝗蝻、豕禍、龍蛇之孽、馬異、人痾、疾疫、鼓妖、隕石、水潦、水變、黑眚、黑祥皆屬之於水。

The Great Plan states, "Water is defined as moistening and descending." When water fails in this office, the result is a sign of cosmic blame. Persistent cold, unending gloom, snow and frost, hail, fish prodigies, locust swarms, swine plagues, dragon-and-serpent omens, strange horses, human deformities, epidemics, drum prodigies, falling stones, floods, aberrant waters, and black portents of every kind all belong to the element of water.
