The Qi of Jueyin Wind Wood consumes the most essence and blood, causing damage to the lung fluid due to wind movement, and causing sadness and tears due to dryness. The aspirations of the five organs are sorrow in the lungs and fear in the kidneys; The voice of the five organs cries in the lungs. When the lungs are filled with fluid and the body is dry, it turns into kidney water. When the body's emotions rise, it likes to rise but dislikes to fall. When it rises, it feels proud and happy, and when it falls, it feels frustrated and fearful; Those who are sad have the advantage of fear. When the yang energy is about to descend, there will be a lack of extension. Those who lack extension will be led down by yin and up by yang, but they will not descend immediately (as detailed in "Lingshu? Kouwen").
