风。八风。得其正则无邪。唯不得其正。则为邪气。而能中于人。然其中者。要各以四时之胜气袭之。故春胜长夏。
长夏胜冬。而于所胜之入。则又必随脏随时而为病。以内气不守。外疾得入也。故春气病在头。夏气病在脏。在脏者心
通夏气。为诸脏之主。故病在脏。秋气病在肩背。冬气病在四肢。唯病在头。故春善鼽衄。夏邪通心。故善病胸胁。长
夏犯脾。土气动扰。积风为寒。故善病洞泄。寒中。秋暑汗不出而风袭肤腠。故善病风疟。冬寒邪犯四肢。故善病痹厥。
原其然者。人身之精。真阴也。为元气之本。唯冬能藏精。则根本内实。而邪不易犯。虽夏之暑邪。亦得汗出而邪不入

热 热病一门。帝问以为伤寒之类。其非谓伤寒止于热病。特帝以热起见而问伤寒之变热者耳。盖六日遍六经者。
热之势盛而易于入经者也。热病不止伤寒。而以伤寒为重。故首举六经传变之条。然伤寒变热为有阳气。热虽盛不死。
此见伤寒之未变热者。阴寒惨毒不可言无事。况两感于寒则表里阴阳俱受哉。后人又有言两感不死而可以有治法者。以
此人内伤极重。适与外感寒会故如是耳。然亦危矣。若真两感则必无治法也。
有热胜而阴虚。正气虚不能胜热者。病亦死。内经曰。有病温。汗出辄复热。而脉躁疾。不为汗衰。狂言不能食。
病名阴阳交。交者死也。阴气不守而阳邪入之。则阴已散越。故曰阴阳交。又有汗出复热不能食。脉躁盛狂言。此亦死。
盖汗生于精。精生于谷。令邪气争而得汗。是精胜也。精胜当能食而不复热。乃辄复热者。邪胜也。邪胜不能食。是精

热病其脉色相胜。见真阴不守。病若两感者亦必死。为其无内也。太阳之脉。色荣颧骨。热病也。荣未交。其荣颧

太阳之脉浮。厥阴之脉弦而细。以病言。太阳为头痛腰脊强。厥阴为烦满囊缩。今以太阳热病。与厥阴争见。此为阴阳

热病。内连肾。外见少阳之脉色。少阳之脉色。荣颧颊前。此热病也。荣未交。可得汗而已。若与少阴脉争见者。
死期不过三日。热病连肾。本经连肾也。其热之脉色荣颊前。是少阳外见。汗之可已。而独与少阴脉争见。夫少阳之脉

于是邪正相胜而争。气争于肝则肝气乱。故狂言而惊。以肝病主惊骇也。肝脉布胁。故胁满痛。热极阳胜而淫于四末。
故手足躁扰。其邪乘土犯胃。则胃不和而卧不安。此则肝病甚矣。庚辛死者。邪进而胜正败于克也。
心热病。则下脉厥而上。上则下脉虚。虚生脉痿。枢折挈胫纵而不任地。夫心主血脉。心为血养则不热。不热则心

Wind. The Eight Winds (Ba Feng, winds from eight directions). When they follow their proper seasonal patterns, there is no pathogenic factor; only when they deviate from the norm do they become pathogenic factors capable of invading humans. However, those that invade must attack according to the overcoming Qi (Sheng Qi) of the four seasons. Thus, Spring overcomes Late Summer; Late Summer overcomes Winter. In the season being overcome, illness must arise in accordance with the corresponding Zang organ and time, because internal Qi fails to guard, allowing external pathogens to enter. Therefore, Spring Qi causes illness in the head; Summer Qi causes illness in the Zang organs. Among the Zang organs, the Heart corresponds to Summer Qi and is the master of all Zang organs; thus, illness occurs in the Zang organs. Autumn Qi causes illness in the shoulders and back; Winter Qi causes illness in the four limbs. Because illness occurs in the head, Spring is prone to nasal congestion and epistaxis (Jiu Nu). Because Summer pathogens connect with the Heart, illness often affects the chest and hypochondrium. Because Late Summer pathogens invade the Spleen, Earth Qi becomes disturbed, accumulating wind into cold, so illness often manifests as severe diarrhea (Dong Xie) and cold invasion in the middle (Han Zhong). Because Autumn heat prevents sweating while wind attacks the skin and interstices, illness often manifests as wind-malaria (Feng Nue). Because Winter cold pathogens invade the four limbs, illness often manifests as bi-syndrome (Bi) and cold extremities (Jue). Tracing the origin: the essence of the human body is True Yin (Zhen Yin), which is the root of Yuan Qi (Primordial Qi). Only in Winter can essence be stored; then the root is internally solid, and pathogens find it difficult to invade. Even if Summer heat pathogens exist, one can sweat out the pathogens, preventing them from entering. If one does not store essence in Winter, and in Summer heat prevents sweating, both the mechanisms of excretion and storage are lost. Thus, in Spring one should suffer from warm diseases (Wen Bing), and in Autumn wind-malaria is inevitable. This is how illness arises according to time and Zang organ. This is the cause of Wind Pathogen invasion.
Wind moves swiftly and changes frequently. Once it invades a person, the resulting injury manifests as various diseases with diverse transformations. Thus, it may manifest as alternating chills and fever (Han Re), or heat in the middle (Re Zhong), or cold in the middle (Han Zhong), or leprosy/wind disease (Li Feng), or hemiplegia/paralysis (Pian Ku). Although these diseases have different names, they are all variations of Wind. For alternating chills and fever: Wind hides between the skin layers, unable to communicate internally or excrete externally. Since it moves swiftly and changes frequently, when the pores (Cou Li) open, Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) loses its guard, causing sudden chills. When the sweat pores (Xuan Fu) close, Yang Qi becomes obstructed internally, causing heat, irritability, and stifling sensation. This is why it manifests as alternating chills and fever. The cold aspect weakens appetite; the heat aspect consumes muscle tissue, leading to inability to eat. This is the severity of alternating chills and fever. Regarding cold in the middle and heat in the middle: Wind and the Yangming channel enter the Stomach. The Stomach is located in the Middle Jiao, and its channel ascends to the inner canthus. In obese individuals, pathogens cannot exit and remain as heat in the middle, causing yellow eyes. In thin individuals, pathogens leak outward causing cold, manifesting as cold in the middle with tearing. Wind Qi enters together with the Taiyang channel, traveling through various acupoints and dispersing between muscle intervals, interfering with Wei Qi. Thus, it can cause muscle swelling and ulcers. If Qi stagnates and does not flow, it can also cause numbness in the flesh. As for Leprosy (Li): Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi) is hot, and its Qi is impure, causing destruction of the nasal bridge and deterioration of complexion, with skin ulcers and溃烂. When Wind-Cold lodges in the channels and does not depart, it is called Leprosy/Wind Disease (Li Feng), indicating deep penetration of Wind. If Wind strikes the Shu points of the Five Zang and Six Fu organs, it enters each gateway. Thus, depending on the left or right Shu point struck, it becomes Hemiplegic Wind (Pian Feng). Following Fengfu (GV16) upward into Naohu (DU17), it becomes Brain Wind (Nao Feng). Entering the eye system, it becomes Eye Wind (Mu Feng). After drinking alcohol, Xuan Fu opens easily, and invasion leads to Dripping Wind (Lou Feng) with continuous sweating. Intercourse with sweating depletes Spring Essence internally, and invasion leads to Internal Wind (Nei Feng). Washing hair recently and being invaded leads to Head Wind (Shou Feng). Wind failing to scatter externally and transmitting inward leads to Intestinal Wind (Chang Feng). Heat causes lower bleeding; cold causes undigested food diarrhea (Sun Xie). Lodging in the interstices with continuous sweating is also called Leakage Wind (Xie Feng). Following Fengfu, these constitute seven types, clarifying how they become Wind.
Wind entering the Five Zang organs transforms into various symptoms, each having different manifestations. Lung affected by Wind: profuse sweating, aversion to wind, and pale white complexion. All wind injuries involve aversion to wind; those with profuse sweating result from Wind opening the interstices. Any Wind invasion presents with a slightly pale white appearance, which is the color of the Lung. Lung movement manifests as cough; forced by Wind, there must be shortness of breath, improving during the day and worsening at night. During the day, it harmonizes with Wei Qi; at night, it enters with Yin, hence worsening. Diagnosis is indicated by white color above the eyebrows. Heart affected by Wind: profuse sweating, aversion to wind, dryness, irritability, and red complexion. Wind Wood and Heart Fire clash; Wood and Fire intertwine fiercely, confusing spirit and mind, causing irritability. Severe redness makes speech difficult; Heart disease causes stiffness of the tongue base. When Heart is harmonious, taste is perceived; thus, diagnosis is via the mouth. Liver affected by Wind: profuse sweating, aversion to wind, sadness, slightly bluish complexion, dry throat, and irritability. Liver governs Wind, but if Wind overcomes it, internal Qi is insufficient, causing sadness. Stirring its original Qi causes irritability. Sometimes hating women: strong genitalia indicate lust; disease indicates jealousy (Yin). Eyes are the orifice of the Liver; thus, diagnosis is below the eyes. Spleen affected by Wind: profuse sweating, aversion to wind, lethargy, unwillingness to move limbs. Spleen is overcome by Wind-Wood. Slightly yellow complexion (Yellow is Earth). Lack of appetite; Wind dominance causes Earth to loosen, failing to transform. Nose is the master of the face; thus, diagnosis is via the nose. Kidney affected by Wind: profuse sweating, aversion to wind, facial edema, back pain unable to stand upright. Pathogen entry causes Kidney to carry Water Qi upward, causing facial edema. Located in this region, back pain prevents standing. Complexion is [missing character], indicating Kidney exhaustion. Difficulty in urination/defecation indicates Kidney Qi injury. Diagnosis is on the muscles. Water carries Wind, attacking Earth. These are the differences in Wind affecting the Five Zang, leading to varied illnesses. Furthermore, among these symptoms, there are distinctions: Head Wind: head and face sweat profusely, aversion to wind. Illness worsens one day before the wind arrives; headache prevents going out. By the next day, it improves slightly. Because washing hair invites Wind, it strikes the head and face, causing sweating and aversion to wind. Head Wind comes and goes unpredictably; whenever wind is about to arise, it worsens one day prior. Headache, being Yang, arrives first and quickly. First arrival means decline, so it improves the next day. Dripping Wind: constant profuse sweating, cannot wear single clothes. Sweating upon eating. Because Wind Pathogen combines with alcohol, Yang Qi scatters, causing sweating. Yang dominance causes body heat and aversion to cold, hence cannot wear single clothes. Food generates Yang Qi, so sweating occurs upon eating. Severely, Yang alone dominates upper body, causing panting and continuous sweating, soaking clothes. Yang excess and Yin deficiency cause dry mouth and thirst. Body cannot endure labor. Leakage Wind: profuse sweating soaking clothes, dry mouth, inability to work, whole body pain, then chills. Because exterior is not secure, and sweating is like an ulcer, fluids dry up, causing dry mouth. Blood deficiency causes inability to work and whole body pain. Moreover, profuse sweating loses Yang, causing chills. These are the parts of Wind, yet illnesses differ.
Wind is the chief of a hundred diseases. When it invades humans, treatment must be early. Delay allows transmission until death. Those who transmit do so because they were not treated early. When Wind-Cold lodges in humans, making all hairs stand erect and skin close, causing heat, at this time it should be released via sweating. If there is numbness, pain, or swelling, herbal compresses, moxibustion, or acupuncture can remove it. If untreated, the disease enters the Lungs. Because Wind-Cold enters from exterior to interior, it must first affect the Lungs. Wind-Cold closed here without moving is named Lung Bi (Obstruction), causing cough and rebellious Qi, transforming into cough and wheezing. This is still a time for releasing via sweating. If untreated, it transmits to the Liver, following the overcoming cycle. Also called Liver Bi. Because Liver Qi rebels and rises upward, there is hypochondriac pain and cold extremities. Invading the Stomach causes vomiting. Can be treated with massage or acupuncture. If untreated, it transmits to the Spleen. Liver Wood overcomes Earth. Wind-Heat enters the Spleen, named Spleen Bi. Internally, there is middle heat and vexation; externally, the body turns yellow. Yet it can still be treated with massage, herbs, or bathing to resolve exterior and interior Wind-Heat. If untreated, the Spleen transmits to the Kidney, named Shan Jia (Hernia/Mass). Shan Jia gathers Qi and causes pain, named Lower Abdomen Oppressive Heat Pain with White Discharge. Oppressive heat means vexatious heat. Pathogens gather in Lower Jiao, urine becomes turbid white. Due to heat accumulation not dissipating, depleting True Yin like insects sucking blood, it is named Gu (Poison/Insect). Yet this is still treatable. If untreated, Kidney transmits to the Heart, causing sinews and vessels to contract and spasm, named Chou (Convulsion). Heart governs blood vessels. Heart disease causes blood dryness, so sinews and vessels contract. Hands and feet spasm, hence named Chou. Pathogen reaching the Heart, the disease is extreme. If a Heavenly Cycle completes, Qi of all Five Zang ceases, hence death. This is the sequence of disease transmission.
There is a disease presenting with edema resembling water. Pulse is large and tight. Body has no pain, form is not emaciated, cannot eat, eats little. This disease is in the Kidney, named Kidney Wind. Resembling water means edematous swelling, similar to water but not true water retention. Large pulse indicates Yin deficiency. Tight pulse indicates Cold Qi. No pain and non-emaciated form indicate pathogen is not lodging in the exterior. Kidney Pathogen counter-overcomes Spleen, hence inability to eat. Since Kidney overcomes Spleen, it inevitably attacks the Heart. Attacking the Heart causes Spirit Qi to lose its guard, causing fright. Fright causes Heart Qi to wither and weaken, unable to recover. Water and Fire are both trapped, hence death.
There is internal injury coinciding with Wind Pathogen, exacerbating and manifesting due to addition. Illness persists without leaving shelter. These are all chronic injuries. Or injury from Dampness lingering in muscle intervals and blood vessels. Or falling/fright causing bad blood to linger and not disperse. Or sudden unregulated joy/anger causing Qi rebellion. Or improper diet causing internal injury. Or irregular cold/warmth causing interstitial closure and Wei Qi blockage. When opening and exposed to Wind-Cold, pathogen is in front, Wind-Cold follows. Both meeting causes Blood and Qi coagulation, hence Cold Bi. Or those who receive Wind after sweating from heat. Although not external thieving Wind, pathogen adds and manifests, also called Combined Pathogen (He Xie).
Pathogens injuring humans each have entry points, ultimately returning to Three Regions. Wind of the three regions differs. Some originate from Yin, some from Yang. Unregulated joy/anger injures Zang organs; Zang injury means disease originates from Yin. Clear/Dampness attacks deficiency, disease originates from below. Wind/Rain attacks deficiency, disease originates from above. Licentiousness is countless. But initial illness only involves these three regions. Thus, Wind/Rain/Cold/Summer Heat cannot injure alone without Deficient Pathogen (Xu Xie). Two deficiencies meeting, then they lodge in the form. Thus, Qi has fixed abodes, named by location. Upper, Middle, Lower divided into three sections.
Cold: According to Neijing's Wind section describing pathogenesis, it is detailed and thorough. Ideally, there should be a Cold section to complete the source of disease. Now the book only preserves the Warm Disease chapter, considering Warm Diseases as a category of Shang Han (Cold Damage). Considering them as similar to Shang Han, one can know there was proper Shang Han before. Because the lost three volumes and sixty chapters of Qi Heng (Extraordinary) are also lost. Later generations saw Zhang Zhongjing's methods did not match Warm Diseases, and treating Cold was not just about channel transmission. Presumably Zhang Zhongjing saw the complete book, but Wang Shuhe did not examine it carefully, thus placing the Warm Disease clause at the head of Zhang Zhongjing's Shang Han, and using channel transmission methods to confuse various clauses. From what is scattered in this classic, there is "Qi abundance, body cold, obtained from Shang Han." The Wind Pathogen section says: "Striking the face descends to Yangming; striking the neck descends to Taiyang; striking the cheek descends to Shaoyang." How can this be in the example of channel transmission? Could it be that Wind is so, but Cold is not? Zhang Zhongjing said: "Taiyang disease, whether fever has appeared or not, must have aversion to cold, body pain, vomiting/reversal, and pulse both Yin and Yang are tight, named Shang Han." This matches "Qi abundance, body cold, obtained from Shang Han." Cold is Yin Pathogen, hence cannot immediately cause heat. Cold causes Qi rebellion, hence body pain and vomiting. Because Ying has cold, pulse Yin and Yang are both tight. He also said: "On the first day, Taiyang receives it; if pulse is quiet, it does not transmit. On the second or third day, if Yangming and Shaoyang signs do not appear, it does not transmit." Seeing this, how can one place Warm Disease clause at the head of Shang Han? Wang Shuhe could not narrate Zhang Zhongjing but confused the text with his own ideas, citing this clause to suppress it, making later generations unaware that Neijing text is lost and Zhang Zhongjing's supplementation is wonderful. Is he not a sinner of a thousand years?
Warm: The Warm Disease section, the Emperor asked regarding Shang Han as a category. It does not mean Shang Han stops at Warm Disease. Specifically, the Emperor asked about Shang Han changing to Warm based on heat. Presumably, six days covering six channels, Heat trend is abundant and easily enters channels. Warm Disease is not only Shang Han, but Shang Han is heavy. Thus, first listing six-channel transmission clauses. However, Shang Han changing to Warm has Yang Qi. Even if Heat is abundant, one does not die. This shows that Shang Han not yet changed to Warm, Yin Cold is cruel and toxic, impossible to say nothing happens. Especially if contracting Cold on both Exterior and Interior (Liang Gan), then Exterior/Interior and Yin/Yang are both affected. Later generations again said Liang Gan does not die and can have treatment methods. Because this person has severe internal injury, coinciding with external Cold, thus such. Yet it is also critical. If true Liang Gan, there must be no treatment method.
If Heat dominates and Yin is deficient, Zheng Qi is weak and cannot overcome Heat, disease also dies. Neijing said: "Having Warm Disease, sweating then fever returns, pulse is restless and rapid, does not decrease with sweating, delirious speech, inability to eat. Disease name is Yin-Yang Intersection (Yin Yang Jiao). Intersection means death. Yin Qi does not guard and Yang Pathogen enters, then Yin has already scattered. Hence named Yin-Yang Intersection." There is also sweating then fever returns, inability to eat, pulse restless and abundant, delirious speech. This also means death. Sweat is born from Essence; Essence is born from Grain. Letting Pathogen contend and obtain sweat is Essence victory. Essence victory should be able to eat and not fever return. But fever returns, meaning Pathogen victory. Pathogen victory means inability to eat, meaning Essence provides no benefit. Like this, pulse restless and abundant, delirious speech. Pulse cannot overcome disease, hence restless. Lost words hence delirium. So-called seeing three deaths and not seeing one life, how can one live?
Warm Disease, its pulse and color overcome each other, showing True Yin does not guard. If disease is Liang Gan, also must die. Because there is no interior. Taiyang pulse, color shines on cheekbones, Warm Disease. Ying has not intersected. Its shining on cheekbones: Taiyang Heat. Red color should appear on cheeks, but Ying has not intersected, because damaging Wei but not reaching Ying. At this time, if contending with Jueyin pulse appearing, death period will not exceed three days. The reason: Taiyang pulse is floating; Jueyin pulse is string-like and fine. Regarding disease: Taiyang is headache and stiff waist/spine; Jueyin is vexation/fullness and testicular retraction. Now Taiyang Warm Disease contends with Jueyin appearing. This is Yin and Yang both diseased. The order of Six Channel Warm Disease starts with Taiyang, ends with Jueyin. Now beginning and end contend appearing, hence should die before period ends.
Warm Disease, internally connects to Kidney, externally shows Shaoyang pulse/color. Shaoyang pulse/color, shines on cheek/jaw front. This is Warm Disease. Ying has not intersected, can obtain sweat and be cured. If contending with Shaoyin pulse appearing, death period will not exceed three days. Warm Disease connects to Kidney, this channel connects to Kidney. Its Heat pulse/color shines on jaw front, is Shaoyang external appearance. Sweating it can be cured. But alone contends with Shaoyin pulse appearing. Shaoyang pulse is string-like; Shaoyin pulse is deep and faint. With previous clause, all are so-called Yang disease seeing Yin pulse. Jueyin makes dark/bright; Shaoyin governs interior. Two Yins are root of Yin. Two Yin pulses seen in Warm Disease, then True Yin is exhausted. True Yin exhausted, then does not wait for completing three days of channel travel. Half period.
Five Zang Warm Diseases: If in channels not resolved and invade Zang, then Zang disease appears. Zang disease appearing then has death period. Such as Liver Warm Disease: urine first yellow, abdominal pain, much lying down, body heat. Jueyin Heat starts from Lower Jiao, hence urine first yellow. Rebelling upward to abdomen, hence must cause abdominal pain and sinew relaxation, hence much lying down. Fire born from Wood, hence body heat. This is Jueyin in channels. Not resolving, pathogen enters Zang. Then Pathogen and Zheng contend and fight. Qi contends in Liver, then Liver Qi is chaotic, hence delirious speech and fright. Because Liver disease governs fright/terror. Liver channel spreads to hypochondrium, hence hypochondriac fullness/pain. Heat extreme, Yang dominates and floods four extremities, hence hands/feet restless. Pathogen overcomes Earth attacking Stomach, then Stomach not harmonious and sleep uneasy. This is Liver disease severe. Geng/Xin days death: Pathogen advances and defeats Zheng in overcoming.
Heart Warm Disease: then lower pulses rebel upward. Upward then lower pulses empty. Empty generates Mai Wei (Vessel Flaccidity). Pivot breaks, lifting shank relaxes and cannot bear ground. Heart governs blood vessels. Heart nourished by blood then not hot. Not hot then Heart pulse is peaceful and can descend to interact with Foot Three Yin. Now Heart Qi hot then Fire alone flares upward. Its descending to Yin pulses all rebel upward. Hence lower empty generating Mai Wei. Wherever four limbs joints are, pivot breaks cannot lift. Shank relaxes cannot bear ground.
Spleen Warm Disease: first heavy head, cheek pain, vexation, green face, desire to vomit, body heat. Spleen Heat, Heat must ascend. Making Yangming channel in head/face first diseased. This is heavy head cheek pain. Vexation: Spleen Heat reaches Stomach and Heart. Green face: Wood Pathogen dominates and invades Yangming region. Spleen dry not transporting, then Stomach also not harmonious, hence desire to vomit. Body heat: whole body muscle heat. Heat to this, then Heat flood dominates and overcomes Kidney. Hence Heat contest then waist pain cannot bend/extend. Abdominal fullness/diarrhea: Earth obstruction hence full. Cooperating with Heat hence diarrhea. Bilateral mandible pain: Yangming collaterals. If rebellion severe, Jia/Yi days death.
Lung Warm Disease: first chilly trembling, raising hairs, aversion to Wind-Cold, yellow tongue coating, body heat. Lung governs skin/hairs. Heat then fears cold, hence raising hairs, aversion to Wind-Cold. Lung connects to Stomach. Middle Jiao Heat enters Stomach, hence yellow tongue. Body heat. To Heat extreme and contends with Zang Qi, then Qi rebels panting/coughing, pain travels to chest/back, and cannot take deep breath. Headache unbearable. Because panting/rebellion in Lung, then Lung Qi cannot descend, and Three Yang all obstruct upward, hence pain unbearable. Also sweating then chills: because Heat Pathogen in Lung, skin/hairs not closing.
Kidney Warm Disease: first waist pain, bitter thirst desiring drink, body heat. Heat to Kidney, its Heat is deep. Water loses its function, must first show in its region. Waist and [missing character] are Kidney region. No Water hence waist pain [missing]. Heat and empty then must draw water to save self, hence bitter thirst desiring drink. Body heat Yin melts and Ying Heat. Heat contest then neck pain and stiffness. [Missing] cold and [missing]. Feet bottom heat, do not want to speak. Its rebellion then headache dizzy/swaying. Wu/Ji days death. Because Heat contest then externally reaches Exterior Taiyang, hence neck stiff pain. Internally severe in Interior Shaoyin, hence [missing] cold and [missing]. This [missing] adding Cold: Yin has no Qi to fill. Feet bottom heat: Heat rises from Yongquan, sign of Water empty. Do not want to speak: Dantian Qi does not suffice. Dizzy/swaying: form of no foundation. Yin empty no Qi, injuring Spirit Mind.
