The Nose

한글 비 · Pinyin Bi

The spirit's cottage and the gate of heaven's qi — thick discharge and thin, the nose that cannot smell, the polyp taken off with a pellet, and the drinker's red nose

鼻

The nose is called the spirit's cottage, the door the spirit qi goes in and out by, and in the Laozi's reading it is the gate of heaven's qi where the mouth is the gate of earth's. Clinically it belongs to the lung, and the Nanjing puts the whole chapter in one line: when the lung is harmonious the nose can know scent from stench. What follows is a set of distinctions a practitioner can act on. Thick turbid discharge that will not stop is nasal deep-source and belongs to heat; clear watery discharge is lung cold. A nose blocked for a few days is a chill caught; one that blocks at the least draught, year after year, is a weak surface, and Dongwon treats it by supplementing rather than dispersing. A hard thing inside the nose is a polyp, and the chapter removes it with a pellet of caustics set against it daily until the discharge stops. The last third is the drinker's nose — red at the tip, purple-black at worst — which the chapter explains as blood made hot by wine, then chilled and congealed so that it cannot move, and treats by cooling the blood inside and rubbing sulphur on outside. It ends with two lines of cultivation: rub the bridge of the nose thirty times till it is hot on both sides, and keep the hairs of the nose cut, since this is the door the spirit qi passes through.

2.1 The Nose Is Called the Spirit's Cottage 鼻曰神廬

2.1.1

黃庭經曰, 神廬之中, 當修治. 呼吸廬間, 入丹田. 神廬者, 鼻也, 乃神氣出入之門也. 《類聚》

Translation영역

The Yellow Court Classic says: within the spirit's cottage, there should be cultivation; breathing in and out through the cottage, one enters the cinnabar field. The spirit's cottage is the nose, the door by which the spirit qi goes in and out.

2.2 The Nose Is the Gate of the Mysterious Female 鼻爲玄牝之門戶

2.2.1

Source원문

老子曰, 谷神不死, 是謂玄牝. 玄牝之門, 爲天地根, 綿綿若存, 用之不勤. 何謂玄牝之門. 答曰, 鼻通天氣曰玄門, 口通地氣曰牝戶. 口鼻乃玄牝之門戶也. 《正理》

Translation영역

The Laozi says: the valley spirit does not die; this is called the mysterious female. The gate of the mysterious female is the root of heaven and earth, continuous as though it were there, and used without ever being exhausted. What is meant by the gate of the mysterious female? The answer: the nose passes heaven's qi and is called the mysterious gate; the mouth passes earth's qi and is called the female door. Mouth and nose are the gates of the mysterious female.

Clinical note임상 주석

The Laozi's most quoted passage read as anatomy. Air from above through the nose, food from below through the mouth — and the division holds for the rest of the book, since the nose belongs to the lung and the mouth to the spleen.

2.5 Nasal Deep-Source 鼻淵

2.5.1

Translation영역

The Neijing says: where the gallbladder moves heat to the brain, there is stinging at the bridge of the nose and nasal deep-source. Nasal deep-source is turbid discharge coming down without stop; passing on, it becomes nosebleed and dimness of the eyes. The commentary says: the gallbladder's fluid pours down as turbid discharge, coming down without cease like a spring of water, and so it is called the nasal deep-source. If it goes long without ceasing it must become nosebleed, and much blood being lost, the eyes see darkly.

Clinical note임상 주석

鼻淵, the nasal deep-source — the name is the image, a spring that runs and will not stop. Chronic sinusitis with the ache at the bridge of the nose, and the Fluids chapter's 5.23.3 carries the same passage from the mucus's side.

Clinical note임상 주석

控腦砂 — the sand that drags at the brain. Purulent discharge with headache, which is sinusitis at the stage where it involves the frontal sinus; the worm is the tradition's explanation, and it is the only one it had for something that eats away inside the head.

Wine-nose is the tip of the nose turned red, and at worst purple-black. Drinkers commonly have it.
