1. The five accumulations (Ji) and six aggregations (Ju) are distinguished by their association with zang and fu organs respectively; the seven signs (Zheng) and eight masses (Jia) result from the stagnation of qi and blood. Zheng and Ji remain fixed in place with definite locations, whereas Jia and Ju can be moved and lack a fixed shape. Pi refers to fullness and obstruction due to qi congestion; it has not yet formed a hard mass and is named blood stasis. If retained for a long time without dispersing, it becomes Xuegu (blood gu); this often occurs after childbirth or during menstruation when exposed to wind-cold.
[Note] Qi accumulation in the five zang organs is called "Ji" (accumulation), hence there are five types of Ji. Qi aggregation in the six fu organs is called "Ju" (aggregation), hence there are six types of Ju. The Nan Jing describes accumulations in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney but does not mention six aggregations. This is because Ji pertains to blood disorders, while Ju pertains to qi disorders. Therefore, Li Gao provided formulas and methods for treating five accumulations. The Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun records seven zheng and eight jia, but only lists names and syndromes for the eight jia, lacking descriptions of the seven zheng. Other medical texts rarely mention them. Generally, zheng is considered a qi disorder, while jia is considered a blood disorder. However, diseases all originate from qi; after qi aggregates, blood coagulates. One need not overly adhere to specific names such as huang, qing, zao, xue, zhi, hu, she, and bie. Instead, classify those that are firm, immovable, and have fixed locations as zheng and ji; and those that are movable, rotatable, appearing and disappearing intermittently as jia and ju. Thus, it is said: "Zheng" means evidence/signs, implying tangible forms can be verified; "Jia" means false, implying shapes formed by borrowed materials. As for "Pi," it refers to stuffiness and obstruction, meaning the blockage of the qi pathway. "Blood stasis" refers to blood stagnating in the abdomen without forming a hard mass. After prolonged retention, it inevitably becomes Xuegu. All these conditions arise because, following childbirth or during menstruation, one fails to take proper precautions, allowing wind-cold external pathogens to invade. The pathogenic factors and healthy qi struggle against each other, knotting within the abdomen to form these conditions.
