夫痢者。皆由荣卫不足。肠胃虚弱。冷热之气。乘虚入客于肠间。虚则泄。故为痢也。
然其痢而有赤白者。是热乘于血。血渗肠内则赤也。冷气入肠。搏于肠间。津液凝滞则白也。

Dysentery arises from the insufficiency of Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi), and the weakness of the intestines and stomach. Cold and heat pathogens invade the intestinal cavity due to this deficiency, leading to diarrhea; thus, dysentery is formed.
When dysentery presents with both red and white discharge, it indicates that heat has affected the blood, causing blood to seep into the intestines, resulting in redness. Conversely, cold qi enters the intestines and clashes with the fluids there, causing fluid stagnation and coagulation, which results in white discharge.
