【方歌】心善精神爽，言清舌润鲜，不躁不烦渴，寤寐两安然。
肝善身轻便，不怒不惊烦，指甲红润色，溲和便不难。
脾善唇滋润，知味喜加餐，脓黄稠不秽，大便不稀干。
肺善声音响，不喘无嗽痰，皮肤光润泽，呼吸气息安。
肾善不午热，口和齿不干，小水清且白，夜卧静如山。
【注】寤寐者，醒与睡也。不怒不惊者，不自怒惊也。溲者，
小水也。便者，大便也。不午热者，不午后发热也。
【方歌】一恶神昏愦，心烦舌燥干，疮色多紫黑，言语自呢喃。
二恶身筋强，目睛正视难，疮头流血水，惊悸是伤肝。
三恶形消瘦，疮形陷又坚，脓清多臭秽，不食脾败难。
四恶皮肤槁，痰多韵不圆，喘生鼻扇动，肺绝必归泉。
五恶时引饮，咽喉若燎烟，肾亡容惨黑，囊缩死之原。
六恶身浮肿，肠鸣呕呃繁，大肠多滑泄，脏腑败之端。
七恶疮倒陷，如剥鳝一般，时时流污水，四肢厥逆寒。
【注】呢喃，言语不清也。惊悸，心惊跳也。消瘦，肌肉消瘦
也。皮肤槁，干槁也。韵不圆，不响亮也。鼻扇动，鼻
孔扇动也。咽喉若燎烟，干热呛痛也。容惨，不乐也。
囊缩，外肾缩也。呕呃，呕而作格逆也。如剥鳝，疮面
无皮，似剥皮鳝鱼之状也。
【方歌】顺证初起小渐大，憎寒壮热渐焮疼，气盛顶尖高肿起，
血盛根脚收束红。阳证二七脓熟溃，阴证廿一脓始成，
已溃腌气无滃气，腐脱新生饮食增。疮形虽大终无害，
老少壮弱俱成功。
【注】痈疽初起，从小而大，渐渐憎寒壮热，渐渐疼痛焮赤。
气盛者，顶尖高肿而起；血盛者，则根脚收束而红，此
顺证也。阳证则十四日，而脓即熟者，阳性速也；阴证
必待廿一日，而脓始成者，阴性迟也。已溃脓有腌气，
而无滃气者，则腐肉易脱，新肉易生。饮食自增，疮形
虽大，终无害也。腌气即俗呼"哈拉"气也。

[Song of Third Evil (Spleen)] Emaciation of form, sores are sunken and hard, pus is thin and foul-smelling, inability to eat indicates spleen failure and difficulty in treatment.

[Song of Favorable Prognosis] At the initial stage, the swelling grows gradually from small to large, aversion to cold and high fever gradually intensify with burning pain. Abundant Qi causes the apex to swell high; abundant Blood causes the base to be confined and red. For Yang syndromes, pus matures and ulcerates after fourteen days; for Yin syndromes, pus forms only after twenty-one days. After ulceration, if there is normal odor but no foul stench, necrotic tissue falls off easily, new flesh grows easily, and appetite increases. Although the sore may be large, it ultimately causes no harm; success is achieved regardless of age or strength.
[Note] At the initial stage of carbuncles and ulcers, they grow from small to large, gradually presenting with aversion to cold, high fever, and burning redness/pain. "Abundant Qi" refers to the apex swelling high; "Abundant Blood" refers to the base being confined and red; this is a favorable prognosis. For Yang syndromes, pus matures in fourteen days because Yang nature is rapid; for Yin syndromes, pus forms only after twenty-one days because Yin nature is slow. After ulceration, if the pus has a normal odor (referred to colloquially as "Ha La" smell) and no foul stench, necrotic tissue will easily slough off and new flesh will easily regenerate. Appetite naturally increases; although the sore may be large, it ultimately causes no harm. "Yan Qi" (腌气) refers to the colloquial "Ha La" smell.
