Jaundice is divided into Yang Jaundice and Yin Jaundice, but it is generally caused by Dampness (Shi). Yang Jaundice occurs when Dampness transforms into Fire (Huo), with Stagnant Heat (Yu Re) accumulating in the interior. Gallbladder heat causes fluid leakage, which merges with turbid Qi of the Stomach. Unable to ascend and vent out or descend and excrete, it steams and stagnates. Invading the Lung (Fei), it causes both the body and eyes to turn yellow; heat flowing into the Bladder (Pang Guang) turns urine red. The color is bright, as Yang governs brightness, so treatment focuses on the Stomach (Wei). Yin Jaundice occurs when Dampness stems from Cold Water (Han Shui); Spleen Yang (Pi Yang) fails to transform heat. Gallbladder fluid is obstructed by Dampness, soaking the Spleen, infiltrating muscles, and accumulating in the skin. The yellow color resembles smoke staining, appearing dull, as Yin governs dullness, so treatment focuses on the Spleen. Jaundice refers to the condition where the body, eyes, and urine are all yellow.
Jaundice is classified into five names: Grain Jaundice (Gu Dan), Female Labor Jaundice (Nu Lao Dan), Wine Jaundice (Jiu Dan), and those related to Damp-Heat (Shi Re). Ultimately, these归结 to Damp-Heat mutually stagnating and steaming. If accompanied by Spleen and Stomach deficiency over a long duration, the condition becomes chronic. Yinchen Wuling San (Artemisia Capillaris and Five-Ingredient Poria Pill) is the primary formula, which must be modified according to the specific disease presentation. If the disease persists for a long time, leading to abdominal distension and black complexion, this is considered incurable and should be known in advance.
[Grain Jaundice] (Purging methods should not be used to avoid damaging the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian, preventing transformation into distension.)

He Shutian stated: If the pulse is wiry and there is hypochondriac pain, Shaoyang disease has not resolved; continue with Harmonizing methods. If thirsty and drinking fluids, Yangming has transformed into Dryness; urgently purge the heat. If manic with blood stasis, attack vigorously. If hematuria occurs after sweating, tonify. For Exterior Deficiency, solidify the Defensive Qi; for Interior Deficiency, build the Middle Jiao. Female Labor Jaundice involves turbid filth; initially detoxify, then unblock orifices, and finally vigorously tonify the True Yin of the Kidney.
