Among the five types of jaundice, Jiudan (Alcohol Jaundice) has the most variations. Wine, as a substance, varies according to individual tolerance: some can drink a dan without getting drunk, while others become disordered merely by touching their lips. Formed through fermentation, it possesses great heat toxicity. When it penetrates the hundred vessels to cause disease, it not only causes yellowing. Overflowing into the skin, it manifests as blackness or edema; flowing into the clear qi pathways, it causes yellow eyes and nasal carbuncles, among other varying symptoms. Therefore, in the formula discussions, besides Jiudan, there are other distinct conditions such as Rou Dan (Meat Jaundice), Hei Dan (Black Jaundice), Pi Dan (Mass Jaundice), Lao Yi (Exertion Overflow), and even states of mental confusion and loss of normal consciousness.
