The root causes of disease lie in seven types of Qi: Cold Qi, Heat Qi, Anger Qi, Resentment Qi (Qi of indignation), Joy Qi, Worry Qi, and Sorrow Qi. These pathogenic factors accumulate and condense, becoming hard like a cup or plate (the character "pan" is pronounced as Pu-guan), located below the heart and in the abdomen. They cause severe pain bordering on death, prevent eating and drinking, and come and go intermittently. Each attack brings suffering akin to dying, as if haunted by evil spirits. All these conditions arise from the seven Qi. Specifically, Cold Qi induces vomiting and nausea; Heat Qi causes rapid speech with unclear articulation (alternatively described as mental confusion and lack of clarity); Anger Qi leads to rebellious Qi rising uncontrollably, with hot pain rushing upward to strike the heart, resulting in shortness of breath nearly causing death and difficulty breathing; Resentment Qi causes Qi accumulation below the heart, leading to chest fullness and inability to eat; Joy Qi prevents rapid walking and prolonged standing; Worry Qi inhibits strenuous activity and causes restlessness at night when lying down; Sorrow Qi leads to forgetfulness and an inability to understand spoken language, misplacing items and being unable to find them later. Upon hearing urgent news, the tendons and sinews of the four limbs may spasm, rendering the extremities immobile, resembling illness. These are diseases generated by the seven Qi. In men, sudden onset is often due to irregular diet; in women, it is often residual pathology from wind-stroke after childbirth. (This content is cited from Volume 13 of *Qianjin Fang*)
