Hong Kong Foot (a disease characterized by swelling and pain in the feet) presents with soreness and pain in the ankles and knees, accompanied by redness, swelling, abdominal distension, and heart pain. If there is no swelling but heat and pain, it is classified as Dry Hong Kong Foot; if there is Qi stagnation causing swelling and pain, it indicates prominent Dampness. Wind pathogen causes numbness, while Cold pathogen causes severe pain; if vomiting and rapid panting occur, the condition is critical. For Cold, Warmth, Dampness, and渗 (seeping/dampness) patterns, sweating methods are appropriate; for Heat and descending methods, careful differentiation is required. In cases where sinking of Qi leads to dorsum pedis swelling, it is due to Spleen Qi deficiency and Stomach Qi sinking. The Spleen embodies stillness to assist healthy movement; when Middle Qi is harmonious, Clear and Turbid substances are separated. If Spleen Earth is injured and cannot control Water, the Qi of Grain and Water sinks downward. For dorsum pedis swelling, Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) should be used to raise the Qi.

The Seven Hernias belong to the Liver. The *Nei Jing* states that illness of the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) manifests as such, and also refers to illness of the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel). Men suffer from the Seven Hernias, women from leukorrhea and Jia masses, both primarily governed by the Kidney Meridian. The hypochondrium and lower abdomen are pathways of the Liver Meridian; stagnant Qi becomes a Ju mass in the abdomen, and long-standing accumulation forms a Jia hernia. Acute hernias are mostly Cold, while chronic hernias are mostly Heat. The *Su Wen* discusses hernias of various meridians: Ren Mai illness results in seven hernias; Du Mai illness causes Chong Hernia. Transmission from Spleen to Kidney is named [missing character] Hernia; San Yang meridian illness causes chills and fever, transmitting into [missing character] Hernia. Evil lodging in the collateral of the Foot Jueyin causes sudden hernia and acute pain.
Chen Can said: Shaoyang Qi gathering upward forms Jia; Jueyin Qi knotting downward forms Hernia.
Qi Chong Hernia (Qi rushes to the heart, inability to pass stool or urine, can go up but not down, called Chong Hernia).
Fox Hernia (emerges at night, retracts during day like a fox, a Liver Wood pathology).
Long Hernia (Kidney pulse slippery and extreme causes scrotal swelling, pus/blood in urine retention, transmission of Spleen evil to Kidney).
[Missing Character] Hernia (stubborn bi-syndrome with loss of sensation, testicles large as a sheng or dou measure).
Jue Hernia (Liver Wood overacting on Spleen, Jue rebellion rising).
Hernia Jia (Transmission from Spleen to Kidney, lower abdomen solid, hot, and painful, shaped like a cucumber).
[Missing Character] Hernia (Foot Yangming disease causes Hernia, pulse slippery indicates Hernia, Liver Wood overacting on Stomach, large scrotum with pus/blood).
The above lists seven types of Hernia Qi.

Dao Qi Tang plus Litchi Seed (Li Ju He) and Tangerine Seed (Ju He), along with Aconite (Fu), Ginger (Jiang), Broken Paper (Po Gu Zhi), Qingpi, Tongcao, etc. Unilateral sagging without pain originates from Kidney Qi deficiency; Cang Zhu, Bai Zhi, Hua Shi, Ban Xia can be added to widen and regulate. Women with Jueyin Cold Qi aggregation and children with food stagnation hernias are easy to treat.

Chen Can said: Hernia does not depart from the Liver, nor does it exceed Cold. Because the Liver meridian connects to the genital organs, and the Liver is a Zhi Yin organ; the Foot Taiyang meridian belongs to the Kidney and connects to the Bladder, being a Cold-Water meridian. Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing focused on warming, dispersing, removing Cold, regulating Ying, and tonifying Qi, while Hezi (Liu Wansu/Zhang Yuan-su context implies Liu He-Jian or similar school, here referred to as Hezi) focused on pungent-aromatic Qi-moving methods. When the Stomach and Liver receive venting and draining, they heal; thus, Jin Ling Zi San and Hu Qian Wan are the two representative methods.
