Commentary states: In children, the swelling and enlargement of the scrotal testicles due to qi stagnation and knotting is called Shan (hernia). This arises from congenital deficiency, where the Liver Channel is weak. Due to crying or anger, qi becomes rebellious and descends, striking the external genitalia. This causes the sinews and vessels to become lax and relaxed, leading to accumulation that does not disperse, thus forming Shan. If qi is deficient on one side, the swelling will also be unilateral, as the Foot Jueyin Liver Channel encircles the external genitalia and reaches the lower abdomen; when this channel is disturbed, it results in diseases such as Shan and pain in the lower abdomen.
