As mentioned in the text regarding transmission to Yangming, etc., it then transmits to Jueyin. On the sixth day, the pathogenic factors that had not fully transmitted previously remain as if still in Taiyang. Symptoms such as headache down to scrotal retraction appear in succession, being more severe than Lianggan (simultaneous contraction of exterior and interior meridians). By the seventh day, would death not occur? How can one say the disease is receding? Furthermore, when Taiyang is affected, if transmission must traverse all six meridians, then on the second day it reaches Yangming, and on the third day Shaoyang. Since these meridians inherently involve headaches, by the fourth day when it transmits to Taiyin—which does not reach the head—one should expect abdominal fullness and dry throat, but no longer a headache. Why must the headache only slightly subside on the seventh day? One might ask: When Taiyang transmits to Yangming, do the pathogenic factors not yet fully transmitted remain in Taiyang? Are there no such symptoms? The answer is yes; these are symptoms of Taiyang-Yangming Bingbing (concurrent disease of Taiyang and Yangming). To interpret "Taiyang disease recedes on the seventh day" as "transmitting to Yangming" is incorrect. This error stems from Ma Shi's commentary on the *Suwen*, which misaligned with Zhang Zhongjing's annotations, given that Qibo did not state the phrases "no further meridian transmission" and "without adding heterogeneous pathogens." Another view suggests that "no further meridian transmission" means that after traversing all six meridians, the seventh day should see a return to Taiyang without further transmission. Alas, this is due to Cheng Wuji's erroneous commentary, leading to later speculations, which I have already detailed. Someone asks: You claim "no further meridian transmission," for instance, "Taiyang does not transmit further." Is there evidence? I reply: The *Taiyang Chapter* states: "In the first day of cold damage, Taiyang receives the pathogen; if the pulse remains quiet, it indicates no transmission." "On the second or third days, if Yangming and Shaoyang symptoms do not appear, it indicates no transmission." The *Shaoyang Chapter* states: "On the third day of cold damage, the three Yang meridians are exhausted, and the three Yin meridians should receive the pathogen. If the patient can eat and does not vomit, this indicates the three Yin meridians do not receive the pathogen." These are cases where transmission should occur but does not. It must be understood that Zhang Zhongjing's theories originate from the *Suwen*, presenting only the general principles. Regarding the timing of the recession of diseases in the six meridians, could there not be variations? Cold damage cannot be rigidly confined to specific days. Moreover, after six days of transmission reaching the point of scrotal retraction, the condition is critical and urgent. To wait until the twelfth day for the disease to recede and the scrotum to relax is not a standard pattern. Practitioners should understand this with flexibility and insight.
