温病非伤寒也。而余一并及之。何也。经云。冬伤于寒。春必病温。以其病由伤寒而致也。暑病亦由伤寒而致。
而不及之。何也。经云夏伤于暑。秋必 疟。以伤暑自是夏时病。且温病有一二日至八九日。六经传变之候。而暑病则
无是也。秋疟亦有六经传变之候。又何为而不及之也。金匮序云。仲景着伤寒杂病论。合十六卷。今世但传伤寒十卷。
而杂病未见其书。王翰林于蠹简中。得其书三卷。中论杂病而疟疾亦与焉。兹故不复及也。且也。疟疾而有六经传变者。
此即是秋时。伤寒。否则仲景岂不明经络。何为而未详言也。又如伤暑亦系杂病。金匮中即是中 之证。若伤暑而有六
经传变者。此又是夏时伤寒。其初必由寒气而得也。外如霍乱病。亦系杂证。伤寒论列之六经篇后者。必仲景原论中。
既言伤寒。即言杂病也。惜乎其十六卷书。已大半亡失。即今世所传伤寒论十卷。其辩脉平脉可汗可下诸篇。悉系叔和

(This is the original text of Zhang Zhongjing, transferred here from the upper volume of *Shanghan Lun*.)
Wenbing (Warm Disease) is not Shanghan (Cold Damage). Yet I discuss it together with it. Why? The classics state: "If one is injured by cold in winter, one will inevitably suffer from Wenbing in spring." Because this disease arises from Shanghan. Shubing (Summerheat Disease) also arises from Shanghan.
Why is Shubing not mentioned? The classics state: "If one is injured by summerheat in summer, one will inevitably suffer from Nue (Malaria) in autumn." Because injury by summerheat is inherently a disease of the summer season. Moreover, Wenbing presents with transmission patterns across the Six Channels (Liu Jing, the six major meridians/systems) over one to two days up to eight or nine days; whereas Shubing does not present such patterns. Autumnal Nue also presents with Six Channel transmission patterns; why is it not mentioned? The Preface to *Jinkui Yaolue* states: Zhang Zhongjing composed *Shanghan Zabing Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases), comprising sixteen volumes. Today, only ten volumes of *Shanghan Lun* are transmitted.
The book on miscellaneous diseases has not been seen. Wang Hanlin obtained three volumes from worm-eaten bamboo slips. These discussed miscellaneous diseases, including Nue. Therefore, I do not discuss it again here. Furthermore, if Nue presents with Six Channel transmission,
this is essentially Autumnal Shanghan. Otherwise, would Zhang Zhongjing not understand the meridians? Why did he not elaborate on it? Similarly, injury by summerheat belongs to miscellaneous diseases, as evidenced in *Jinkui*. If injury by summerheat presents with Six Channel transmission, this is again Summer Shanghan, which must have originated from cold pathogen. Additionally, Huoluan (Cholera-like disorder) also belongs to miscellaneous syndromes. *Shanghan Lun* lists it after the Six Channel chapters, implying that in Zhang Zhongjing's original treatise,
since Shanghan was discussed, miscellaneous diseases were included as well. Regrettably, half of those sixteen volumes have already been lost. Even the currently transmitted ten volumes of *Shanghan Lun*, specifically the chapters on differentiating pulses, normal pulses, and methods for sweating and purging, were all added by Wang Shuhe. Thus, we know that a significant portion of the miscellaneous disease texts has been lost. Zhao Yi-de of the Ming Dynasty wrote *Jinkui Yanyi*. Although he recognized that Jing (Stiffness/Convulsion), Shi (Dampness), Baihe (Lily Disease), Huhuo (Fox-Spirit Disease), and Nue (Malaria) are not Shanghan, he failed to isolate Huoluan as a distinct category. This is another point I do not understand. Here, because I am discussing Wenbing, I comment on this matter. Those who aspire to this path will surely find my words correct.
Taiyang Bing (Taiyang Syndrome) presenting with fever, thirst, and no aversion to cold is called Wenbing (This explains the difference between Wenbing and Shanghan. By calling it Taiyang Bing, it indicates that although both present with stiffness and pain of the head and neck due to Taiyang meridian involvement,
those Shanghan cases arise from cold pathogen, hence they exhibit aversion to cold; whereas these Wenbing cases arise from warm pathogen, hence they do not exhibit aversion to cold. They present with immediate fever and thirst upon onset. I consider that no aversion to cold, fever, and thirst constitute Yangming Wenbing, but since the symptom of head and neck stiffness involves Taiyang, it is categorized under Taiyang Bing. I further believe that the seasonal qi in spring is warm; when the healthy qi injures the person, illness can occur immediately, not necessarily resulting from winter cold injury. Therefore, its treatment method differs from Shanghan.)
If after inducing sweating, the body becomes burning hot, it is named Fengwen (Wind-Warmth). In Fengwen disease, the pulse is floating at all positions (Yin and Yang, referring to cun and chi, or superficial and deep), there is spontaneous sweating, heaviness of the body, excessive sleepiness, snoring nasal breathing, difficulty speaking, and inability to articulate words. If treated with purgation, there will be difficulty urinating, fixed staring gaze, and incontinence of urine and feces. If treated with fire therapy, mild cases result in yellowing of the skin; severe cases resemble convulsions and epilepsy with spasms. If treated with moxibustion or fumigation, one error prolongs the illness; a second error accelerates death. (I suspect there is a textual error in this passage; "difficulty urinating" should precede "if treated with purgation." This follows the previous text regarding Wenbing and describes adverse outcomes from misdiagnosis. At the onset of Wenbing, warm pathogen attacks the meridians; it should not be treated with sweating. Physicians, unaware of this, mistakenly identify it as a Taiyang syndrome and recklessly prescribe Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) or Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) to induce sweating. The warm pathogen invades the meridians, and fluids are depleted; yang qi becomes hyperactive, causing the body heat to feel like burning. This is called Fengwen. Essentially, this Fengwen is Wenbing, likely because spring is windy, and warm qi comes from the wind, hence the name Wind-Warmth. The pulse in Fengwen after erroneous sweating is floating at all positions. "Floating at Yin and Yang" means because Wenbing is inherently hot, and sweating was induced, all yang qi in the body escapes outward, making the pulse floating at both cun and chi positions. Spontaneous sweating, according to Cheng Wuji's commentary, indicates injury to Wei Qi (Defensive Qi). Heaviness of the body, somnolence, snoring, and speech difficulties, according to *Tiaobian*, indicate that wind obstruction causes qi stagnation and confusion, while intense heat causes qi depression. Difficulty urinating results from profuse sweating depleting fluids. Fixed gaze and incontinence after purgation result from erroneous sweating and purging in an original Taiyang case. *Tiaobian* states that the branch meridian of Taiyang connects to the upper eyelid; erroneous sweating severs the meridian qi, causing the eyes to stare upward without movement. Also, the Bladder is the fu-organ of Taiyang, storing fluids. Erroneous sweating and purging doubly deplete fluids, leading to urinary incontinence. If erroneously treated with moxibustion, mild cases involve fire heat drying earth, causing external loss of color and yellowing; severe cases involve extreme heat generating wind, causing mental status to resemble epilepsy, with limbs curling and spasming. Fumigation produces similar adverse changes as moxibustion. I note: Fumigation is a method to forcibly extract sweat. Physicians, unaware of the error in sweating, see persistent burning heat and assume sweating was insufficient, thus using fumigation. This is a common error. Inducing sweating in Fengwen is one error; if the illness persists after sweating and is then purged or subjected to fire therapy, it is a second error. Can one hope for a prolonged life span instead of accelerated death? Someone asks: Body heaviness and difficulty urinating—how do you know it is not Shibi (Damp-Bi)? I answer: In Damp-Bi, body heaviness indeed accompanies difficulty urinating, but if sweating occurs, dampness dissipates. Now, with spontaneous sweating and increased body heaviness, how can it not be Fengwen? Note: In this passage, Zhang Zhongjing provides no treatment method. Chang Qizhi in *Buwang Lun* states: Purging and fumigation are errors. One may use Baihu Jia Renshen Tang (White Tiger Plus Ginseng Decoction), Guizhi Chaihu Ban Tang (Half-Dose Cinnamon Twig and Bupleurum Decoction), or Guizhi Qu Shaoyao Jia Shujie Longgu Muli Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction minus Peony plus Realgar, Dragon Bone, and Oyster Shell). Guo Baiyun further suggests Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Tang (Bupleurum, Cinnamon Twig, and Ginger Decoction) and Chaihu Jia Longgu Muli Tang (Bupleurum Plus Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell Decoction). I argue that the previous section lacks Shaoyang syndrome signs; thus, formulas containing Chaihu (Bupleurum) are not appropriate. Formulas containing Ganjiang (Dried Ginger) and Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) are unsuitable for warm-heat conditions. Only Baihu Jia Renshen Tang remains, yet it does not align with Taiyang fever and thirst. Consulting *Qianjin Fang*, there is Weirui Tang (Asparagus Decoction), which actually supplements Zhang Zhongjing's incomplete treatment methods. This formula is recorded later among ancient experts' methods for treating Wenbing.)
Someone asks: For Taiyang Bing with fever, thirst, and no aversion to cold, what medicine should be used before inducing sweating? I answer: In Zhang Zhongjing's treatises, such as Gegen Tang (Kudzu Decoction) and Gegen Huangqin Huanglian Tang (Kudzu, Scutellaria, and Coptis Decoction), these two formulas can be referenced and modified for use.
