There are eighteen types of Chuan Shi Lao Chong (Transmitting Corpse Parasites). The Chuan Shi disease transmits from top to bottom, and the symptoms resemble those of previous patients, hence it is also called "Zhu" (Impression/Transmission).

This leads to stagnation in Zhongwan (CV-12) due to impaired movement of Qi and Blood, forming accumulations. Over time, accumulations generate heat. Damp-heat steams and fumes, condensing with blood stasis. Following the Qi of the Five Elements, they transform into various strange forms, just as decaying grass turns into fireflies.

If not treated early, the cycle continues endlessly, piercing the heart and causing death.
