Mysterious kanji

[George Bourdaniotis]

Happy New Year everyone!

今年もよろしくお願いします。

Here is my first question of the new year!

I am doing a translation that talks about the five energies and I
cannot find 沖散させる [chuusan suru] in any dictionary--online and paper.
The context is 金気を沖散させる. I have tentatively translated it as disperse
metal energy.

Anyone know this one?

沖（さんずい）ではなく冲（にすい）の間違いではないですか。

興渠を食せば肺臓が傷付けられ、金気を冲散する。

Yes, exactly, 冲 is correct.

The Chinese version of the word is explained here:

Thank you for all the good responses!

I just found another one that is causing me grief: 外逐される.
水気を「外逐」させる

[[I just found another one that is causing me grief: 外逐される.水気を「外
逐」させる]]

Maybe a little deduction would help. 逐 has a similar meaning to 追う

Are they talking about repelling moisture, or something similar?

I have decided on the use of 'expel' here as an approximation of the
meaning of 外逐させる.

I'm not an expert on this subject. Please don't count on me too much.
You are referring to spmething similar to the followings, right ?

韮(にら)を食せば肝臓が傷つけられ木気が消耗される。
にんにくを食せば心臓が傷つけられ火気が滅亡される。
らっきょうを食せば脾臓が傷つけられ土気が困憊される。
あさつきを食せば肺臓が傷つけられ金気が冲散される。
葱(ねぎ)を食せば腎臓が傷つけられ水気が外逐される。

These sentences are explaining what particular vegetables would work to expell
certain "qi" out of the body.

Though each sentence has different expression reflecting nature of each "qi", all
ending parts mean "be expelled".

Yes, the original meaning of逐is "pursue; chase" (e.g. Mencius: 則之野，有眾逐虎。Going once out to the wild country, [Mencius saw] people in pursuit of a tiger.) With "外", we can say "chase AWAY", "drive OUT", "EX-pel".
