《黄帝内经·素问·气交变大论》
燥金来复，于是秋气肃杀峻烈当令，坚固的树木也不免要枝叶凋谢，在病则胸胁急剧疼痛，波及少腹，常呼吸少气而太息，在五谷则是味甘色黄的谷物被虫蛀食，在人体则邪气客于脾脏，所以黄色的谷物还在青绿色的时候就受到损害、收获减少，在人则多病饮食减少，食而无味，在天上应金星增光、木星减明。
复则收政严峻，名木苍凋，胸胁暴痛，下引少腹，善太息，虫食甘黄，气客于脾，黅谷乃减，民食少失味，苍谷乃损，上应太白、岁星。
Reappearing dry gold, thus the autumn chills must be severe and intense, even strong trees would lose their leaves. Sickness would manifest as rapid pain in the ribs and chest, which may affect the lower abdomen. There would often be breathlessness and sighing. In terms of grains, golden-yellow grains would be eaten by worms; for the human body, external pathogens would enter the spleen, thus the yellow grains were damaged even in their green state and their harvest would be poor. People would have less desire to eat and the food would be tasteless, in the sky the Golden Star would shine brightly, and Jupiter would be dimmer.
