Cold malaria (Han Nue) is a disease pattern caused by the intermingling of Yin and Yang. When Yang Qi is deficient, Yin prevails; when Yin prevails, cold generates from within, resulting in coldness both internally and externally. Therefore, upon onset, the patient experiences only trembling, shivering, and clenching of the jaw.
