Song on Tianzhu Bone Collapse due to Other Diseases from *Xingzheng Lun*:
Tianzhu collapse is not due to Heart or Spleen, but vomiting and diarrhea imbalance leading to emaciation. Severe Shanghan (Cold Damage) without sweating and abnormal pulse (Note from *Fengsui*: instead of floating pulse), determined by delayed treatment with effective medicine. Without these, sudden onset implies lack of limb fat. Body soft, head heavy as stone, face red, lips crimson, cheeks scarlet. This disease often stems from Kidney Heat (Note from *Fengsui*: Gallbladder Heat), followed by latent heat diseases. Liver receiving heat-wind causes Tianzhu collapse, maintain with cooling medicines. Paste must be hot-natured for tendons to relax, immediate mild effect, do not doubt. Vomiting/diarrhea neck softness requires Qi regulation; Shanghan column collapse needs no special treatment.
*Shibi Jing* states: Whether Shanghan, vomiting, or diarrhea, pathogenic toxins enter the Liver meridian due to deficiency, heat pathogens soak the tendons, causing them to become soft and elongated, or hands/feet soft, or neck soft. Must use Liangge method. If vomiting/diarrhea, first regulate Stomach Qi, paste neck, and take cooling Liver/Gallbladder medicines. Do not be too hot, nor too cold.
