Unluckiness and cruelty.
These Supernatural Times and Events bring about the death of Qi,
and badness to the Essence (Jing).
But hidden away are the great influences,
wrapped together to form the Three Cinnabar Pellets (San Dan) of the Jade House,
all share in assisting the Emperor with transformation.
In fact, bringing on Extinguishment (Mie) causes Unluckiness (Xiong) to wane.

Great Ugliness (Da Chao) is broken up, and sinks down to be punished and destroyed

This key must not be allowed to appear from where it is hidden from view,
but it is to be known that during the first month of the lunar year,
the Scheme of Creation (Yuan Ji) is to be made public.
Inexhaustibly, the thousand divine spirits can collect together and return
to ramble about and entertain at the banquets at the Jade Palace
and assemble by rank to talk about things great and small
