论曰伤寒病虽有三阴三阳，然在阳则太阳病多，在阴则少阴病多，以二经为表里故也，
至于阳明太阴病颇稀少，而少阳厥阴病又少也，然究观古人治阳明则多下，于少阴则多温，
盖阳明者胃也，胃受病，则不恶寒反恶热， 汗出，大便秘，谵语潮热，须下之乃愈，若
乃气弱本虚人，国中病，腠理寒邪气，更不经三阳，而便见少阴证，盖少阴者肾也，肾受病，
则身冷恶寒，四肢厥逆，脉微细，心烦但欲寐，或自利而渴，须温之乃愈，虽然三阴病，大
约可温，而古人特于少阴详言之者，则少阴病尤宜温故也。

Discussion states: Although cold damage diseases are divided into the three Yin and three Yang meridians, Taiyang disease is more common in the Yang meridians, and Shaoyin disease is more common in the Yin meridians, because these two meridians are exteriorly-interiorly related. Mingyang disease and Taoyin disease are quite rare, while Shaoyang disease and Jueyin disease are even rarer. However, a careful examination of ancient treatment methods reveals that Mingyang disease is often treated with purgation, while Shaoyin disease is often treated with warming. This is because the Mingyang meridian corresponds to the Stomach; when the Stomach is affected by pathogens, symptoms such as aversion to heat rather than cold, sweating, constipation, delirium, and tidal fever occur, which require purgation for recovery. In individuals with weak constitution and inherent deficiency, where the interstices (Couli) are loose, cold pathogens may bypass the three Yang meridians and directly invade the Shaoyin meridian, presenting Shaoyin syndrome. Since the Shaoyin meridian corresponds to the Kidney, when the Kidney is affected, symptoms include cold body, aversion to cold, cold limbs, thready and faint pulse, irritability with a desire only to sleep, or diarrhea with thirst. These conditions require warming for recovery. Although diseases of the three Yin meridians can generally be treated with warming methods, the ancients specifically detailed Shaoyin disease because it is particularly suitable for warming therapy.
