论曰脾与胃合俱象土。外荣肌肉,腐熟水谷。风寒暑湿袭于外,则留连肌腠。传于脾胃
。食饮不节害于内。则肠胃乃伤,不化糟粕。皆能为病,所得之源不一。故立名多端。且久
风入中则为飧泄。湿胜则为濡写。寒中则为洞泄,暑胜则为毒痢。而又或冷、或热、或赤、
或白、或色杂、或肠垢、或滞下、或休息、或疳、或蛊之类。种种不同。悉由将摄失宜。饮
食不慎,致肠胃不调。邪气交攻。施治之方。则有宜调补。宜攻化。宜收敛。宜渗泄。各随
所宜以用之。
论曰内经谓诸厥固泄,皆属于下,暴注下迫,皆属于热,盖为冷热不调,气不相济也,
脾胃怯弱,水谷不分,湿饮留滞,水走肠间,禁固不能,故令人腹胀下利,有如注水之状,
谓之注泄,世名水泻。

Commentary states: The Spleen and Stomach are combined, their image corresponds to Earth. Externally, they nourish the muscles; internally, they rot and cook food and drink. If Wind, Cold, Summer-heat, or Dampness invade from the exterior, they linger in the muscle-cou li (interstices of skin and muscle) and transmit to the Spleen and Stomach. If eating and drinking are irregular and harm the interior, the Intestines and Stomach are injured and fail to transform residues into feces. All these can cause disease, but the sources of acquisition are not uniform, hence there are many names for them. For instance, long-standing Wind entering the center leads to Sundry Diarrhea (diarrhea with undigested food); excessive Dampness leads to Ru Xie (loose, watery stool); Cold invading the interior leads to Dong Xie (urgent diarrhea); excessive Summer-heat leads to Du Li (severe dysentery). Furthermore, there are cases of cold or heat, red or white discharge, mixed colors, intestinal mucus, tenesmus, intermittent dysentery, infantile malnutrition (Gan), or gu poison, among others. These vary greatly. All arise from improper care, imprudent diet, leading to dysfunction of the Intestines and Stomach and attacking by pathogenic factors. In treatment, some formulas are suitable for tonifying and regulating, some for purging and transforming, some for astringing, and some for leaching out dampness. Each should be used according to what is appropriate.
Commentary states: The *Nei Jing* (Inner Canon) states: "All cases of Jue (reversal), obstruction, and leakage belong to the Lower Jiao," and "Sudden pouring diarrhea with urgency belongs to Heat." This is likely due to the imbalance of Cold and Heat and the failure of Qi to coordinate. If the Spleen and Stomach are weak and deficient, water and grain cannot be separated; Dampness and fluid retention stagnate, water flows into the intestines, and control is lost, causing abdominal distension and diarrhea resembling pouring water. This is called Zhu Xie (pouring diarrhea), commonly known as Shui Xie (Water Diarrhea).
