Green Dragon is yang qi and white tiger is yin qi: The Green Dragon and the White Tiger contain one another

My teachers never refer to Li Kan or water fire as white and green, white is metal and green is wood as associated to internal organs .
 The Chinese National Chi Kung Institute correspondence course pdf has excellent information - very similar to the book Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality!


 


 This is a nice chart as it clarifies that contrary to the claim of a student - who studies IN CHINA AT WUDANG! - the "green dragon" and "white tiger" are NOT limited to just the liver and lung organs respectively.

The position of Qian is the cauldron. The position of Kun is the furnace.371 Inside the cauldron is the yin of aqueous silver, which is to say the fire dragon-innate disposition root. Inside the furnace is the yang of the Jade Bud, which is to say the water [black] tiger- lifespan stem.
The tiger is below in order to emit the trigger of fire. The dragon resides above, setting the clouds off in a blustering storm. Just as the yang in the furnace ascends, yin invariably descends, then the celestial cloudsouls and terrestrial whitesouls in the cauldron preserve their transformations. The Green Dragon and the White Tiger contain one another.
Xing ming gui zhi, 1615 

 Black Lead—the Water [black] Tiger—is the root of the emission and development of Heaven and Earth.
Only then is there substance (zhi ) and qi.

Red Lead—the Fire [red] Dragon—is the foundation of the emission and development of Heaven and Earth.
Only then is there qi and no substance.
 By this process the “Fire Dragon” and the “Water [black] Tiger” become the “Green Dragon” and the “White Tiger”
 So the yin that descends from the Heaven Cauldron - descending down the front - as the "aqueous silver" of the fire dragon-innate disposition - that is actually the white tiger. (see chart above). So it's yin qi that is swallowed - the saliva as jade dew or liquor, the ambrosia.
The tiger is below in order to emit the trigger of fire
So it is water [black] tiger that emits the fire that is yang (green dragon) - but when it is sublimated the yang then turns into the white tiger that descends down the front as yin.

 Reverted Elixir is formed by joining the two breaths (yin and yang qi) and therefore called the Male Tiger or True Lead [has substance] and Female Dragon or True Mercury [does not have substance].

 So this is the "essence" hub that does not move - according to Pregadio! Fascinating - it's the NEW MOON  (the first mensturation as the Eland Bull Dance!).




Wood (liver) is the child of water (kidney). The Green Dragon is the vapor (qi) of wood. Within the Green Dragon is the one primordial vapor [yuan qi].

Qi of metal flows through water. White tiger is the qi of metal. Within White Tiger is the one primordial vapor [yuan qi].

Green Dragon [liver qi] directs the movement of Fire by slowing the vapor.
White tiger [lung qi] strengthens the qi and directs the movement of water.

Nourishing the Essence of Life, Eva Wong

"The dragon and tiger are respectively the yang and yin components of generative energy.  Other names for the dragon are: the yang dragon that hides with the fluid, the yin within the yang (symbolized by the broken line flanked by two solid lines in the trigram Li), the vapor within the fluid, the vapor of pure yang, and the true fire.  Other names for the tiger are: the yin tiger that hides within the vapor, the yang within the yin (symbolized by the solid line flanked by two broken lines in the trigram Kan), the fluid within the vapor, the fluid of pure yin (or the vapor of pure yin), and the true water.  The dragon and tiger are therefore the components or ingredients of mundane generative energy. 
 
Do not confuse them with their carriers, fluid and vapor.  Central to the preservation and cultivation of generative energy is the process known as the copulation of the dragon and tiger.  The yin and yang components of generative energy meet and merge to become purified generative energy, with is also called the primordial vapor.  The process begins with the vapors of pure yang (dragon) and pure yin (tiger) rising from the base of the spine and traveling separately up the spine and through the shoulder blades.  When the vapors reach the head, they interact (copulate) and merge to become one unified vapor.  This unified vapor descents to the palate of the mouth and is manifested as nectar, a sweet, sticky fluid.  Swallowed down the throat, the nectar enters the middle tan-t'ian (in the area of the solar plexus) and eventually completes its circuit when it reaches the base of the spine again." e "Three Treasures."  Guarding the One means to preserve the origin of life, the pure energy of yang.  This is done by alchemically mutating the life forces as found in the body.  
 
The two major centers of the body, according to inner alchemy theory, are the heart and the kidneys.  The are associated with fire and water, the trigrams Li and Kan, the South and the North, respectively.  Fire, or the dragon, is the symbol of Yang; in human beings it is represented as nature.  Water, or tiger, is the symbol of Yin; in human beings it is found as their destiny.  Both these opposing energies are necessary to activate the mutations leading over to every higher levels of refinement. 
Wu Ming Jen does not give the source of his long quote over on thedaobums fake forum!! haha.

Stating:
I have not found consistency amongst different authors in Taoism and Qigong with respect to associations and correspondences of animals to cosmological, alchemical, spiritual, or bodily realms.
Which means that the source is confused!!

It is "confusing" but if you study the actual Neidan sources like I have done above then the confusion is clarified....

also I made this amazing discovery that the yuan qi origin is the New Moon - so this corroborates the original human Eland Bull Dance at first menstruation! The Daoist alchemy highest level = the oldest spiritual training ritual origins
