Review:

"The emotions of joy and anger are injurious to the spirit. Cold and heat are injurious to the body. Violent anger is hurtful to yin; violent joy is hurtful to yang. When rebellious emotions rise to heaven, the pulse expires and leaves the body. When joy and anger are without moderation, then cold and heat exceed all measure and life is no longer secure".
