Smooth Progression (Shun Zheng): Initially, the lesion grows gradually from small to large, aversion to cold and severe fever appear gradually with pain. Abundant Qi causes the apex to swell high; abundant Blood causes the base to be constricted and red. Yang syndromes mature pus and ulcerate around the 14th day (two sevens); Yin syndromes begin to form pus only after 21 days. After ulceration, if the pus has a mild smell but no foul odor, necrotic tissue sheds easily and new flesh regenerates, while appetite increases. Although the sore may be large, it ultimately causes no harm; success is achieved regardless of age, strength, or weakness.

[Note] At the onset of carbuncles and sores, they grow from small to large, gradually presenting with aversion to cold, severe fever, and progressive redness/pain. "Abundant Qi" means the apex swells high; "Abundant Blood" means the base is constricted and red; this is Smooth Progression. Yang syndromes have rapid nature, so pus matures by day 14; Yin syndromes have slow nature, so pus forms only by day 21. If post-ulceration pus has a mild smell but no foul odor, necrotic tissue sheds easily and new flesh regenerates. Natural increase in diet intake means that even if the sore is large, it ultimately causes no harm. "Yan Qi" refers to the common term "Hala Qi" (referring to the normal, non-foul odor of pus).
