经曰∶诸热瞀螈，皆属于火；诸痛疮痒，皆属于心；诸禁鼓栗，如丧神守，皆属于火；
诸逆冲上，皆属于火；诸腹胀大，皆属于热；诸燥狂越，皆属于火；诸病有声，鼓之如鼓，皆
属于热；诸病 肿，疼酸惊骇，皆属于火；诸转反戾，水液混浊，皆属于热；诸呕吐酸，
暴注下迫，皆属于热。
又曰∶诸热瞀螈，暴喑冒昧，躁扰狂越，骂詈惊骇， 肿疼酸，气逆冲上，禁栗如
丧神守，嚏呕疮痒，喉痹耳鸣，及聋呕涌溢，食不下，目昧不明，暴注 螈，暴病暴死，
皆属于火。
《原病武》曰∶瞀，昏也；螈，动也。热甚则神气昏，心惕跳，肉 动，皆火然也。
暴喑，无声也。金受火邪，浊而不鸣也。金清则善鸣，火盛则金浊，难鸣而喑也。冒，昏冒也；
昧，暗昧也。火气闷热则神昏暗而不清爽也。躁，躁动烦闷也；扰，扰乱也。凡火甚则烦心
不眠，坐卧不宁，神志不定是也。狂越，狂乱而乖越，言语错乱，行止失常也。骂詈，恶声
以辱人也。惊骇，闻声则惊，惕然而恐骇，皆火邪盛，正气无主也。 肿疼酸，足附近 有肉
处，热胜则肿，风胜则动。疼，痛之轻浅；痛，则疼之甚也。酸，似疼非疼，其间侧侧然
酸髓而似疼痛之意也。乃肝木之火，故似酸也。如醉甚之甚，手足股腕皆为之酸髓者是也。
气逆冲上，火气炎上也。禁栗如要神守，战栗摇动而形体丧失保守之神也。嚏呕，鼻中气
痒而作声也。火烁肺金而邪气出鼻
窍，故痒碍而喷嚏也。疮疡，为心火之炽于皮肤也。喉痹，热客上焦，咽喉肿痛，吞津有碍而不
仁之谓也。耳鸣，肾水不滋，火炎上窍而有声，如闻钟鼓蝉鸣之类是也。
呕涌液，食不下∶火气炎上，胃膈热甚，则传化失常，故呕溢而上也。目昧不明，为热
气郁瘅也。平白目无所见，皆热气郁之甚也。暴注 螈∶暴注，卒然而泻也，热甚则流通，
而卒成水泻之类； 螈，动跳也。暴病暴死，火性疾速，如热气郁怫之久，则一时心神昏闷，
筋骨不用，卒然僵仆倒地而死，皆火之为也。
经曰∶壮火之气衰，少火之气壮。壮火食气，气食少火。壮火散气，少火生气。壮火食
气，故气得壮火则耗散；气食少火，故气得少火则长生。犹言少火滋养其气也。
《原病式》曰∶五脏之志过度，则劳伤本志。凡五志所伤，皆热也。所谓阳动阴静，
故形神劳则燥不宁。静则清平也。是故上善若水，下愚若火。如卒暴匮仆，多因五志七情过度
而卒病也。故善为心火之志，病笑者，火之甚也。五志过极，皆为火也。
(Li Dongyuan) Run Chang Wan (Intestine-Moistening Pill): Treats latent fire in the Spleen and Stomach. Symptoms include constipation with difficulty, or dryness and obstruction, complete loss of appetite. This is due to wind-dryness and blood-deficiency constipation.

The Classics state: All cases of heat-induced dizziness and convulsions belong to Fire; all pain, sores, and itching belong to the Heart; all cases of jaw stiffness, shivering, and chattering teeth, appearing as if losing spiritual control, belong to Fire; all cases of rebellious Qi rushing upward belong to Fire; all cases of abdominal distension and enlargement belong to Heat; all cases of dryness, mania, and unruliness belong to Fire; all diseases producing sounds, where percussion yields a drum-like resonance, belong to Heat; all diseases involving swelling, pain, soreness, fright, and alarm belong to Fire; all cases of twisting and contracture, with turbid urine, belong to Heat; all cases of vomiting acid, sudden profuse diarrhea, and tenesmus belong to Heat.
It is also said: All heat-induced dizziness and convulsions, sudden aphonia, mental confusion, restlessness, mania, cursing, and fright; swelling, pain, and soreness; rebellious Qi rushing upward; jaw stiffness and shivering as if losing spiritual control; sneezing, vomiting, sores, and itching; throat obstruction, tinnitus, and deafness; vomiting and fluid overflow, inability to eat, blurred vision, sudden profuse diarrhea and convulsions, sudden illness and sudden death—all belong to Fire.
*Yuan Bing Shi* states: "Mao" means dizziness; "Yong" means twitching. When heat is severe, the spirit becomes dull, the heart palpitates, and muscles twitch; these are caused by Fire.
"Sudden Aphonia" refers to sudden loss of voice. Metal (Lung) affected by Fire pathogen becomes turbid and cannot resonate. When Metal is clear, it resonates well; when Fire is excessive, Metal becomes turbid, making speech difficult and leading to aphonia. "Mao" means dizziness/confusion; "Mei" means dimness/obscurity. Muggy Fire Qi causes the spirit to be dim and unclear. "Zao" means restless agitation and vexation; "Rao" means disturbance. Severe Fire leads to a vexed heart, insomnia, restlessness in sitting and lying down, and unsettled spirit/mind. "Kuang Yue" means madness and deviation, disordered speech, and abnormal behavior. "Ma Li" means insulting others with foul language. "Jing Hai" means being startled by sound, feeling alert fear and alarm; these occur when Fire pathogen is excessive and Righteous Qi loses mastery. Swelling, pain, and soreness refer to fleshy areas near the feet; excess Heat causes swelling, excess Wind causes movement/twitching. "Teng" is mild pain; "Tong" is severe pain. "Suan" is like pain but not quite pain, a prickling soreness in the marrow resembling pain. This is the Fire of Liver Wood, hence the sensation of sourness. It is like extreme drunkenness where limbs and joints feel deep soreness. Rebellious Qi rushing upward is due to Fire flaring up. "Jin Li Ru Sang Shen Shou" refers to trembling and shaking where the body loses its spiritual guardian. "Ti Ou" is sneezing due to itchiness in the nose from Qi. Fire scorching Lung Metal causes pathogens to exit through nasal orifices, causing itchiness and sneezing. Sores and ulcers are caused by blazing Heart Fire in the skin. "Hou Bi" is heat lodging in the Upper Jiao, causing sore throat and swelling, difficulty swallowing saliva, and insensitivity. Tinnitus is caused by Kidney Water failing to nourish, with Fire flaring to the upper orifices, producing sounds like bells, drums, or cicadas.
Vomiting fluid overflow and inability to eat: Fire flares upward, causing intense heat in the Stomach and Diaphragm, disrupting transmission and transformation, leading to vomiting and reflux. Blurred vision is due to heat Qi stagnating and steaming. Inability to see clearly in broad daylight is due to severe heat Qi stagnation. "Bao Zhu Yong": "Bao Zhu" is sudden diarrhea; severe Heat causes rapid flow, resulting in watery diarrhea. "Yong" is jumping/twitching. Sudden illness and sudden death: Fire nature is swift. If heat Qi stagnates for a long time, it suddenly causes mental confusion, immobility of sinews and bones, leading to sudden collapse and death. These are all caused by Fire.
The Classics state: The Qi of Strong Fire declines; the Qi of Weak Fire strengthens. Strong Fire consumes Qi; Qi nourishes Weak Fire. Strong Fire dissipates Qi; Weak Fire generates Qi. Strong Fire consumes Qi, so Qi dissipated by Strong Fire is depleted; Qi nourished by Weak Fire grows long. This means Weak Fire nourishes Qi.
*Yuan Bing Shi* states: Excessive emotion of the Five Zang organs damages their respective spirits. All injuries from the Five Spirits generate Heat. Yang moves, Yin is still; thus, physical and mental labor leads to dryness and unrest. Stillness brings clarity and peace. Therefore, the supreme good is like water; the lowest ignorance is like fire. Sudden fainting often results from excessive Five Spirits and Seven Emotions causing sudden illness. Thus, managing Heart Fire emotions: illness manifesting as laughter indicates severe Fire. Extreme excess of the Five Spirits all transforms into Fire.
