论曰人与天地同流,通万物一气,故有感于山川毒厉之气而为病者,瘴疟是也。以其寒
热时作,与疟同类,故谓之瘴疟。传谓两山夹水多疟,盖阴气多而阳气少,则易为寒热之疾
故也。

Commentary states: Humans flow with the Qi of Heaven and Earth, sharing one Qi with all things. Therefore, illnesses caused by being affected by the toxic and pestilential Qi of mountains and rivers are known as Zhang Malaria (Zhang Nue, a type of malaria prevalent in miasma-prone regions). Because its alternating chills and fever resemble those of typical malaria, it is called Zhang Malaria. Legends say that areas between two mountains with flowing water often have malaria; this is likely because Yin Qi is abundant while Yang Qi is scarce, making such places prone to diseases characterized by alternating chills and fever.
Formula for treating Zhang Malaria persisting for one hundred days or a year: Baiwei Tang (White Root Decoction)
