Prolonged walking damages the sinews (sinews), which is due to labor injuring the Liver. Exhausting one's strength in planning and worrying injures the Liver, manifesting as extreme fatigue of the sinews (Ying Jin Ji). Overusing the spirit for mental calculation injures the Spleen, manifesting as extreme fatigue of the flesh (Ying Rou Ji). Unexpected excessive worry injures the Heart, manifesting as extreme fatigue of the vessels (Ying Mai Ji). Preoccupation with future events causes labor that injures the Lungs, manifesting as extreme fatigue of Qi (Ying Qi Ji). Striving to maintain moral integrity and restraining desires injures the Kidneys, manifesting as extreme fatigue of the bones (Ying Gu Ji).
The head is the mansion of the spirit. If the head droops and the eyes are sunken, the spirit is about to escape. The back is the mansion of the chest organs. If the back is curved and the shoulders hang low, the internal organs are about to deteriorate. The waist is the mansion of the Kidneys. If turning and shaking is difficult, the Kidneys are about to be exhausted. The bones are the mansion of the marrow. If one cannot stand for long and trembles, the bones are about to be exhausted. The knees are the mansion of the sinews. If flexion and extension are impossible and walking results in stooping, the sinews are about to be exhausted.
First-degree damage affects the skin and hair: the skin gathers and hair falls out. Second-degree damage affects the blood vessels: the vessels become deficient and small, unable to nourish the internal organs. Third-degree damage affects the muscles: the muscles emaciate, and food cannot transform into flesh. Fourth-degree damage affects the sinews: the sinews relax and cannot hold themselves. Fifth-degree damage affects the bones: bone weakness prevents rising from bed. If the damage progresses from top to bottom, resulting in bone weakness preventing rising from bed, it is fatal. If the damage progresses from bottom to top, resulting in gathered skin and fallen hair, it is fatal. The Lungs govern the skin and hair; for Lung damage, tonify Qi. The Heart governs the blood vessels; for Heart damage, regulate Ying and Wei (nutritive and defensive Qi). The Spleen governs the muscles; for Spleen damage, regulate diet and adapt to cold and warmth. The Liver governs the sinews; for sinew damage, soothe the interior (emotions). The Kidneys govern the bones; for bone damage, benefit the essence. Worry and thought injure the Heart. Cold form and cold drinks injure the Lungs. Anger and reversed Qi injure the Liver. Improper diet and labor fatigue injure the Spleen. Sitting in dampness or entering water injures the Kidneys. Excess leads to harm; control brings balance. Extreme cold generates heat. Extreme heat generates cold. Extreme Wood resembles Metal. Extreme Fire resembles Water. Extreme Earth resembles Wood. Extreme Metal resembles Fire. Extreme Water resembles Earth.
The five depressions (Wu Yu) are treated by draining, breaking, reaching, dispersing, and seizing. "Reaching" for Wood depression means vomiting to allow free flow. "Dispersing" for Fire depression means sweating to allow dispersion. "Seizing" for Earth depression means purging to remove stagnation. "Draining" for Metal depression means渗利 (promoting urination) and releasing the exterior. "Breaking" for Water depression means suppressing to control rebellious Qi. Fullness and rebellion below the heart result from improper purging. Qi rushing to the chest and dizziness upon standing result from improper vomiting. Muscle twitching, fear of cold, and curled feet result from improper sweating.
Loss of Yang leads to seeing ghosts, as Qi fails to guard. Loss of Yin leads to blindness, as Blood fails to nourish. Excess Yang leads to mania, as Qi merges with Yang. Excess Yin leads to epilepsy, as Blood merges with Yin. Stagnant Qi that does not move indicates primary Qi disease. Obstructed Blood that does not moisten indicates secondary Blood disease. Disharmony of the Five Zang organs leads to blockage of the nine orifices. Disharmony of the Six Fu organs leads to fluid accumulation and obstruction. Hands that can flex but not extend indicate sinew disease. Hands that can extend but not flex indicate bone disease. Convulsions indicate tense and contracted sinews. Flaccidity indicates relaxed and extended sinews. Twitching involves alternating extension and contraction of limbs. Tongue protrusion without retraction indicates excess Yang. Tongue retraction and inability to speak indicate excess Yin.
Wind injury in spring leads to undigested diarrhea in summer. Summerheat injury in summer leads to malaria in autumn. Dampness injury in autumn leads to cough in winter. Cold injury in winter leads to warm diseases in spring. Wind is the leader of a hundred diseases. Feng Fei refers to inability to control the four limbs. Pian Ku refers to hemiplegia. Feng Yi refers to sudden unconsciousness. Feng Bi refers to bi-syndromes resembling wind patterns. Tan refers to flaccid paralysis where sinews are loose and cannot lift.

Taiyin disease presents with abdominal fullness, spontaneous diarrhea, deep pulse at cun/guan/chest, and lack of fluids reaching the throat. Shaoyin disease presents with dry tongue and mouth. Jueyin disease presents with irritability, fullness, and contracted scrotum. Exterior heat feels like light covering (xi ran). Interior heat feels like steaming (zheng zheng). Stiff neck and back indicate Taiyang exterior pathogen. Aversion to wind indicates fear of wind. Fever with chills indicates onset in Yang. No fever with chills indicates onset in Yin. Alternating chills and fever indicates winning and losing between Yin and Yang. Irritable heat indicates heat transmitting to the interior.
Jian Jue is caused by hot Qi and overexertion. Bo Jue is caused by severe Qi rebellion. Xie Jie involves spinal pain, shortness of breath, and reluctance to speak. Inability to control limbs indicates Spleen disease. Rou Wei indicates numb muscles. Muscle writhing indicates Spleen heat.

(Also include Tong Bi, Zhuo Bi, Xing Bi, Zhou Bi.) Tong Bi involves pulling pain in sinews and bones. Zhuo Bi is fixed and immobile. Xing Bi moves unpredictably. Zhou Bi involves whole-body pain.
Kidney transferring Cold to Liver causes abscesses and shortness of breath. Spleen transferring Cold to Liver causes abscesses and sinew spasms. Liver transferring Cold to Heart causes mania and chest obstruction. Heart transferring Cold to Lungs causes Lung Xiao. Lung Xiao involves drinking one part and urinating two parts; it is fatal and untreatable. Lung transferring Cold to Kidneys causes Yong Shui. Yong Shui presents with soft abdomen when pressed; water Qi resides in the Large Intestine, making gurgling sounds when walking fast, like a bag wrapping paste. This is a water disease. Spleen transferring Heat to Liver causes fright and epistaxis. Liver transferring Heat to Heart is fatal. Heart transferring Heat to Lungs transmits to Ge Xiao. Lung transferring Heat to Kidneys transmits to Rou Jing. Kidney transferring Heat to Spleen transmits to Xu Chang Pi, which is fatal and untreatable. Bladder transferring Heat to the Uterus causes Long and bloody urine. Bladder transferring Heat to the Small Intestine causes intestinal blockage and upper mouth ulcers. Small Intestine transferring Heat to the Large Intestine causes Xu Jia and Chen Shi. Large Intestine transferring Heat to the Stomach causes hunger with emaciation, called Shi Yi. Stomach transferring Heat to the Gallbladder is also called Shi Yi. Gallbladder transferring Heat to the Brain causes nasal pungency and Bi Yuan. Bi Yuan presents with continuous turbid discharge.
The five flavors are Xin, Gan, Ku, Suan, and Xian. Excessive Xin causes tight sinews and withered nails. Excessive Gan causes bone pain and hair loss. Excessive Ku causes withered skin and falling hairs. Excessive Suan causes calloused skin and peeling lips. Excessive Xian causes coagulated vessels and changed complexion. Wine has strong ascending Qi and is Yang. Meat has thick descending flavor and is Yin. Thin flavors are Yin within Yang. Thin flavors promote circulation; Suan, Ku, Ping, Xian belong here. Thick flavors are Yin within Yin. Thick flavors promote purging; Suan, Ku, Xian, Han belong here. Thin Qi is Yang within Yin. Thin Qi promotes excretion; Xin, Gan, Dan, Ping, Han, Liang belong here. Thick Qi is Yang within Yang. Thick Qi generates heat; Xin, Gan, Wen, Re belong here. Light and clear form images (like thin-flavored tea), originating from Heaven,亲近 superior. Heavy and turbid form shapes (like thick-flavored Rhubarb), originating from Earth,亲近 inferior. (Each follows its kind.) Xin and Gan flavors disperse and are Yang. Suan and Ku flavors induce vomiting and purging and are Yin. Clear Yang opens the Cou Li (clearest of clear). Clear Yang fills the four limbs (turbid among clear). Turbid Yin returns to the Six Fu (turbid among turbid). Turbid Yin travels to the Five Zang (clear among turbid).
The Seven Forms are Da, Xiao, Huan, Ji, Qi, Ou, and Fu. Da Form: One Sovereign, Three Ministers, Nine Assistants, large regulation. Xiao Form: One Sovereign, Two Ministers, small regulation. Huan Form: Tonifies upper/treats upper with slow action, thin flavor. Ji Form: Tonifies lower/treats lower with urgent action, thick flavor. Qi Form: Odd numbers (1 Sovereign 2 Ministers, etc.). Ou Form: Even numbers (2 Sovereigns 4 Ministers, etc.). Fu Form: If Qi form fails, use Ou form; this is a compound formula.
The Ten Agents include Xuan, Tong, Bu, Xie, Qing, Zhong, Hua, Se, Zao, Shi, Han, Re. Xuan removes stagnation (Ginger, Tangerine Peel). Tong removes obstruction (Akebia, Stephania). Bu removes weakness (Ginseng, Mutton). Xie removes closure (Descurainia, Rhubarb). Qing removes excess (Ephedra, Kudzu). Zhong removes timidity (Magnetite, Iron Slag).

Shi (Moistening) removes dryness (White Quartz, Purple Quartz). Han removes heat (Rhubarb, Mirabilite). Re removes cold (Aconite, Cinnamon).
Diseases worsening by day and quiet by night indicate excess Yang, Qi disease only. Worsening by night and quiet by day indicate excess Yin, Blood disease only. Fever by day, quiet by night indicates Yang flourishing in Yang division. Quiet by day, fever/restlessness by night indicates Yang sinking into Yin (Re Ru Xue Shi). Fever/restlessness day and night indicates Re Yang without Yin (drain Yang, tonify Yin urgently). Chills by night, quiet by day indicates Yin/Blood flourishing in Yin division. Quiet by night, chills by day indicates Yin overflowing into Yang. Chills day and night indicates Re Yin without Yang (drain Yin, tonify Yang urgently). Chills by day, restlessness by night, inability to eat indicates Yin-Yang confusion, which is fatal.
Fire excess/Water deficiency is Yang excess/Yin deficiency, causing heat. Water excess/Fire deficiency is Yin excess/Yang deficiency, causing cold. White complexion indicates Lung Qi deficiency. Black complexion indicates Kidney Qi sufficiency. Fat people have much dampness. Thin people have much fire.
Exterior pathogens: release via sweating. Interior pathogens: purge via downward movement. High pathogens: induce vomiting. Fierce pathogens: gather via downward movement. Cold deficiency collapse of Zang: treat with moxibustion. Pulse-related spasm/bi: treat with acupuncture. Blood stasis/swelling/heat: treat with Bian stones. Qi stagnation/paralysis/cold-heat: treat with Dao Yin. Meridian blockage/numbness: treat with medicinal wine. Blood/Qi coagulation/sinew disease: treat with warming compresses.
Good walking relies on Marrow meeting Juegu. Bearing weight relies on Bones meeting Dazhu. Young adults sleeping deeply have excess Blood and deficient Qi. Elderly waking easily have excess Qi and deficient Blood. Poverty to wealth hurts the Heart with joy. Wealth to poverty creates stagnant fire. Kai Gui Men means sweating. Jing Jing Fu means promoting urination. For elderly/prolonged illness, tonify deficiency first. For young/new illness, attack pathogen primarily. Regulating diet is a good prescription for curing disease. Regulating Spleen and Stomach is the royal way of medicine.
Diagnosis by observation is Shen (Divine): observing five colors. Diagnosis by listening/smelling is Sheng (Sage): hearing five tones. Diagnosis by questioning is Gong (Worker): asking preferences for five flavors. Diagnosis by palpation is Qiao (Skillful): feeling pulses.
External contraction follows Zhang Zhongjing. Internal injury follows Li Dongyuan. Heat diseases follow Liu Hejian. Miscellaneous diseases follow Zhu Danxi. Understanding Gan, Zhong, Shang distinguishes root and branch severity. Clarifying Internal, External, Non-internal/external addresses Deficiency/Excess of Interior/Exterior. Respect seasonal Qi, do not violate Heavenly Harmony. Combining color and pulse ensures perfection. Heaven and Earth differ North/South; bodies differ Deficiency/Excess. Adaptation lies in change; enlightenment lies in the person. Medicine originates from Qi and Huang, a sacred art. Learning follows Confucius and Mencius, a benevolent heart. These are the firm words of sages, revered by physicians. They are the ladder for students, as described by Yunlin.
