Yang Ming (陽明) is the first phase of the cycle on Meridiania: closing a previous contact so the next can start clean. It is not Shang Han Lun Yang Ming as a bright-heat syndrome; here it is the house threshold — separating without losing the ground.
LessonTake support, and be able to say no.
Separation closes a previous contact so the next one can start clean. The Stomach studies the capacity to take from outside what nourishes, and to feel the ground, without having to do it all alone. The Large Intestine studies the boundary: pushing away what does not belong, the gesture of no. Together they give a self that can stand distinct without losing support. In the house, this phase is the threshold.
If the cycle breaks · ConfluenceMerging with the other and being unable to stand in a real disagreement. Agreement is wanted, and contact is avoided wherever the world does not match.
Study questionCan this gesture let go of what came before and bear weight, or does it only reach toward the other?
