Chung replies: "From the Great Tao comes the sky and earth. When sky and earth divided the ve emperors emerged. The green emperor of the East is the ruler of spring. During this season yang rises within yin and gives birth to the ten thousand things. The red emperor of the South is the ruler of summer. During this season yang rises within yang and makes the ten thousand things grow. The white emperor of the West is the ruler of autumn. During this season yin rises within yang and directs all things to complete their course of development. The black emperor of the North is the ruler of winter. During this season yin rises within yin and makes all things decay and die. In the ninety days of a season, eighteen days are set aside in each season [for the yellow emperor]. In spring the yellow emperor in the center assists the green emperor to give birth to all things. In summer he encourages the red emperor to help things grow. In autumn he helps the white emperor to let things mature. In winter he supports the black emperor to ensure that all things are at rest. The ve emperors each rule seventy-two days. Together they rule the three hundred and sixty days of the year; together they help the sky and the earth follow the principles of Tao."
