清西派汪东亭（启濩）著。纲领：大道起手在乎性命合一；凡道顺行男女交合生胎原，仙道逆行铅来投汞、再入胞胎重造性命。三秘：采取、药物、火候，外加玄关。活子时外肾无念而举为清；凝神入炁穴、巽风武炼文养；小周天炼精化气至马阴藏相，大周天七日采大药、五龙捧圣过上下鹊桥，十月养胎、出神、九年还虚。男炼气坎宫、女炼形离位斩赤龙。力辟女鼎红铅等邪。
⚡ Ứng dụng: 按筑基—小周天—大周天—养胎出神的次第自检火候与效验，并分辨男女下手差异。

Wang Dongting’s text proves that all advanced talk collapses into two coupled essentials—xing (nature/spirit) and ming (life/qi-form)—and that Western-school method is judged by whether it reintegrates them without bias. If either pole is absolutized, the system fails: quietism or energetic athleticism both abort the elixir. The “essentials” are therefore a minimal sufficient ontology for practice.
1. Diagnose every chart as xing-biased (strong Seal/Eating, weak body) or ming-biased (strong body/Wealth, restless spirit) and assign rebalancing. 2. Sequence: stop ming leaks → stabilize breath/sleep → open xing clarity → couple. 3. In Western-school flavor, emphasize practical breath-qi work while holding non-attachment. 4. Reject pure meditation plans for exhausted ming charts; reject pure qigong for scattered xing charts. 5. Define “aim” as functional unity under stress (conflict months), not peak experiences.
Compared with 道书一贯真机易简录’s multi-volume synthesis, 性命要旨 is a minimalist essentialism: two poles, one aim. It is more systematically bipartite than 无根树’s single root metaphor. Its distinct logic is sufficiency—few principles, exhaustive implications for method choice.
