论曰五脏六腑皆有精，腑脏调和，则精常输泻，若腑脏衰，则形体皆极，令人少气吸吸，
五脏内虚，齿焦毛发落，悲伤喜忘，目视不明，耳聋行步不正，身体重，是皆精极之候，然
精极有虚极，有实极，凡阳邪害五脏，阴邪害六腑，阳实则从阴引阳，阴虚则从阳引阴，阳
病主高，高则实热，则宜泻于内，阴病主下，下则虚寒，故体重耳聋。行步不正，若邪气入
脏则咳，咳则多涕唾面肿气逆也，此邪气逆于六腑，淫虚厥于五脏，所以精极，治法形不足
者，温之以气，精不足者，补之以味，当治其微，若甚则五阴气俱绝，绝即目系转而目精夺，
是为志先死，不可救矣。

It is stated that the Five Zang organs and Six Fu organs all possess Jing (Essence). When the Zang and Fu organs are harmonious, Jing can be transported and excreted normally; if the Zang and Fu organs decline, the physical form becomes extremely depleted, causing shortness of breath and labored respiration. Internal deficiency of the Five Zang organs leads to scorched teeth and falling hair, sadness and forgetfulness, blurred vision, deafness, unsteady gait, and heavy body. These are all signs of extreme Jing depletion. However, extreme Jing depletion can be either extreme deficiency or extreme excess. Generally, Yang pathogens harm the Five Zang organs, while Yin pathogens harm the Six Fu organs. In cases of Yang excess, treatment should guide from the Yin meridians to the Yang meridians; in cases of Yin deficiency, treatment should guide from the Yang meridians to the Yin meridians. Yang diseases primarily manifest in the upper part; upper manifestations indicate excess heat, which is suitable for purging internal heat. Yin diseases primarily manifest in the lower part; lower manifestations indicate deficiency cold, resulting in heavy body, deafness, and unsteady gait. If pathogens enter the Zang organs, coughing occurs, leading to excessive phlegm and saliva, facial swelling, and rebellious Qi. This indicates pathogens rebelling in the Six Fu organs and flooding into the Five Zang organs with deficiency and jue (collapse), causing extreme Jing depletion. The treatment principle is: for those with insufficient physical form, warm them with Qi-tonifying methods; for those with insufficient Jing, tonify them with flavor-rich substances. Treatment should begin when the condition is mild. If it progresses to the point where the Qi of the Five Yin organs is completely exhausted, the eye tendons will turn, and the essence of the eyes will be depleted. This is called "Zhi" (Will) dying first, and it is incurable.
