As tradition states, Heaven’s way is like a perfect compass,

Correlation of the number 3, while Earth’s way is similar

To a perfect carpenter's square, correlation of the number 4.

The compass in motion describes a complete circle whereas

The square brings things to the state of rest, securing them

In their proper places—in the four corners of the universe.

What converts Heaven (3) and Earth (4) is the number 5,

Correlation of the Centre, the Pole Star in the starlit sky.

In the sense, we can contend that 3+4=5, symbol of pivot,

Spiral development, increase and upgrowth. The number 5

Underlies both numerical diagrams: one is 55, another is 45

To total the round 100, resume of five generations of humans.

All things are contained within that womb of the universe

Arranged around the Pole Star, the pivot of all in existence.

The sun and moon establish the boundaries of spheres

Of their influence to the left and to the right of the pivot.

The Yin and Yang natural forces in secrecy make contacts;

The four seasons sneak up without being noticed by others—

By stealth they take their appropriate periods; the five phases

Conceal their motives until the right time to come.

Once all the six directions: up and down, north and south,

East and west become cohered with no apparent separation,

The four seasonal divisions revolve in succession

Around the Dipper constellation, as if the celestial dial plate.

To stick to the axis of the universe means to be born in spring,

Grown up in summer, cropped in autumn and preserved in winter.

This is the order defined by Heaven, once and for all.

When dynamic numbers represent static even-numbered spaces,

The spiral development takes place as the earnest of success

And victorious accomplishment. Therefore, one who follows

Heaven's will survives, but one who contradicts it will surely die

Despite initial progress. Similar, a man of wisdom has firm axis

Within his heart/mind, also known as the Clay Crystal,

Which enables all things rotate around his intents and designs

And which is similar to the Pole Star in the midst of night sky,

The universal axis for keeping Heaven and Earth linking.
