Wind, cold, summer-heat, dampness, as well as improper diet and overexertion can all cause diseases; these are referred to as the "Five Pathogens" (Wu Xie). If one is injured by cold in winter, one will inevitably suffer from warm disease (Wen Bing) in spring. If one is injured by wind in spring, one will inevitably suffer from undigested food diarrhea (Sun Xie) in summer. If one is injured by summer-heat in summer, one will inevitably suffer from malaria in autumn. If one is injured by dampness in autumn, one will inevitably suffer from cough in winter. This follows the pattern of the four seasons' Qi. Although the five pathogens invade through different pathways, they are essentially all external pathogens and generally belong to the same category. However, the severe cold of winter has a particularly virulent toxicity. If a person contracts this pathogen and falls ill during winter, it is named "Zheng Shang Han" (True Cold Damage). If the pathogenic toxin lies latent in the skin and muscles, and erupts in spring taking advantage of the warming Qi, it is called Warm Disease. If the pathogen lingers for a long time and erupts in summer taking advantage of the intense summer heat, it is called Summer-Heat Disease. This is what is meant by "disease occurring before the Summer Solstice is Warm Disease, and disease occurring after the Summer Solstice is Summer-Heat Disease."
The sequence of disease transmission is as follows: The pathogen first attacks the Taiyang (Greater Yang) meridian, causing symptoms of headache, stiffness of the neck and back, and rigidity of the waist and spine, with a floating pulse at the cun, guan, and chi positions on both wrists. If the Taiyang disease does not resolve, it transmits to the Yangming (Yang Brightness) meridian, causing symptoms of body heat, eye pain, nasal dryness, and inability to sleep, with a long pulse at the cun, guan, and chi positions. If the Yangming disease does not resolve, it transmits to the Shaoyang (Lesser Yang) meridian, causing symptoms of chest and hypochondriac pain and deafness, with a wiry pulse at the cun, guan, and chi positions. If the Shaoyang disease does not resolve, it affects the Taiyin (Greater Yin) meridian, causing symptoms of abdominal fullness and heavy body, with a faint pulse at the cun, guan, and chi positions. If the Taiyin disease does not resolve, it affects the Shaoyin (Lesser Yin) meridian, causing symptoms of dry mouth, dry tongue, and thirst, or slight aversion to cold on the back, with a deep pulse at the cun, guan, and chi positions. If the Shaoyin disease does not resolve, it affects the Jueyin (Terminal Yin) meridian, causing symptoms of vexation and fullness, curled tongue, and retracted testicles, with a slow pulse at the cun, guan, and chi positions. The transmission of disease occurs only among the three Yang meridians and the three Yin meridians. If the illness has lasted less than three days, the pathogen is still in the Yang meridians, has not entered the interior, and the disease is in the exterior; it should be treated with sweating methods to achieve recovery. If four days have passed, the pathogen has entered the Yin meridians, the disease is in the interior, and it should be treated with purgative methods to achieve recovery. This is merely a general rule. In reality, some people transmit to several meridians within one day, while others remain in the Taiyang meridian for several days. Although Yang meridian diseases are generally suitable for sweating, Yangming meridian diseases are rather suitable for purgation; although Yin meridian diseases are generally suitable for purgation, Shaoyin meridian diseases may be suitable for warming tonification. This is due to differences in individual constitution (deficiency or excess), which affect the speed of transmission. There are also cases where transmission does not occur; in such cases, one must carefully examine the pulse and symptoms. For diseases affecting these six meridians, the pulse and symptoms of the five pathogens differ. Wind injury invariably causes aversion to wind, with a floating and relaxed pulse. Cold injury invariably causes aversion to cold, with a floating and tight pulse. As for summer-heat injury, the pulse is deficient; dampness injury, the pulse is soggy. A tight and full Renying (carotid) pulse indicates cold injury; a rapid and full Qikou (radial) pulse indicates food injury. Diagnosing the five pathogens reveals the root; diagnosing the six meridians reveals the branch. Some diseases are in the exterior but cannot be sweated; some are in the interior but cannot be purged. Excessive sweating leads to exhaustion of body fluids and subsequent loss of Yang. Premature purgation agitates the pathogen in the diaphragm, forming Chest Binding (Jie Xiong). Interference between clear and turbid Qi transforms into Cholera (Huo Luan). Internal stagnation of heat toxins transforms into Blood Stasis. Yellowing results from steaming damp-heat. Spots manifest from excessive Yang toxicity. Individuals with abundant Yang contracting heat develop Yang Toxicity; individuals with abundant Yin contracting cold develop Yin Toxicity. Worm activity leads to Huo Huo disease. Severe deterioration of the condition leads to Bai He disease. Conditions like relapse from exertion or sexual transmission require caution even after recovery. Pathological changes are manifold and cannot be exhaustively listed; one must seek treatment by category, aiming for appropriateness. Only "Liang Gan" diseases (where exterior and interior are simultaneously affected) are difficult to treat because both levels are invaded. Other conditions, such as Yin syndrome resembling Yang, Yang syndrome resembling Yin, Yin excess repelling Yang, or Yang excess repelling Yin, require careful differentiation by the physician.
Humans live between heaven and earth, relying on Qi and blood to sustain their true essence. Therefore, heaven experiences no year without cold and heat alternations, and humans experience no day without worry and suffering. Thus, there are diseases such as Shang Han, Tian Xing (epidemic spread), and Wen Yi (plague). Winter is the season of killing and harsh Qi. Those who are good at preserving health must protect themselves meticulously whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down during severe cold, so as not to offend cold toxins. Those who rush about carrying heavy loads are laborers. When Yang Qi should be stored and hidden, they instead disturb it, causing congestion in the Cou Li (pores/skin layers) and condensation in the Zang-Fu organs, forcibly consuming body fluids. Battled by cold, the Cou Li become insecure, and cold toxins mix with Ying and Wei Qi. At this time, the strong recover as their Qi circulates; the weak succumb and fall ill. Those who do not fall ill immediately harbor cold qi in the skin and muscles, developing warm disease in spring and heat disease in summer. This is all caused by the movement of one Qi. Ancient treatment methods state: On the first day, when the pathogen is in the skin, apply ointment and moxibustion. On the second day, when in the flesh, release the muscle layer according to method to disperse; sweating leads to recovery. On the third day, when in the muscle, sweating also leads to recovery. On the fourth day, when in the chest, use emesis. On the fifth day, when in the abdomen, and sixth day, when in the stomach, use purgation. This is Hua Tuo's treatment method. Regarding the method of San Yin and San Yang, theories on transmission do not exceed those of Zhang Zhongjing. Treating Shang Han requires Shang Han methods; treating miscellaneous diseases requires miscellaneous disease formulas. How can different transmissions be treated identically? Regulating Shang Han must follow fixed laws.
At the onset of illness, dizziness, nausea, and chills indicate what Su Wen calls "due to cold, desire like moving pivot,起居 like surprise, Shen Qi floats." This is new-onset Shang Han. What Zhang Zhongjing clearly describes regarding the transmission of the six meridians is what Su Wen calls Re Bing (Heat Disease). If the onset lacks order, with unclear exterior/interior signs initially, or presenting first with fever and thirst without aversion to cold, this is what Jiangnan calls Huang Bing and the North calls Han Bing. If it spreads rapidly among young and old, it is Tian Xing Shi Qi (epidemic seasonal Qi). For mild new-onset Shang Han, dispersing agents like Cong Bai San (Scallion White Powder) and He Jie San (Harmonizing Powder) can be used. For six-meridian transmission, follow Zhang Zhongjing's method: For exterior patterns, use Ma Huang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) or Gui Zhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction); for mixed cold patterns, use Ge Ban Tang (Half-Half Decoction); for interior patterns, use Xiao Cheng Qi Tang (Minor Order the Qi Decoction) or Shi Zao Tang (Ten Jujube Decoction); for deep interior penetration, use Da Cheng Qi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction); for half-exterior/half-interior, use Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction); for Pi (glomus) and Jie Xiong (chest binding), use Xie Xin Tang (Drain the Epigastrium Decoction) or Xiao Xian Xiong Tang (Minor Sinking into the Chest Decoction). For abdominal fullness, use Li Zhong Wan (Regulate the Center Pill), indicating passage beyond the Taiyin meridian. Transmission to Shaoyin presenting with cold limbs and floating/fine pulse requires Si Ni Tang-type formulas. For Jueyin patterns, medicate according to symptoms without haste. This outlines Zhang Zhongjing's principles. Liu Hejian's exterior-releasing methods use Fang Feng Tong Sheng San (Saposhnikovia Unblocking the Supreme Powder) and Shuang Jie San (Double Resolution Powder); entering the Fu organs uses San Yi Cheng Qi Tang and Da Chai Hu Tang; for chest binding and pi-fullness, use Da Xian Xiong Tang types; entering Yin uses Fu Zi Si Ni Tang; for half-exterior/half-interior harmonization, use Liang Ge San (Cool the Diaphragm Powder) and Yi Yuan San. For summer-heat, following Zhang Zhongjing, use Bai Hu Tang (White Tiger Decoction), often Gui Ling Gan Lu Yin (Cassia and Poria Sweet Dew Drink) or Yi Yuan San, as detailed in Zhi Zhi Fang. Hezi's methods: Exterior release uses Ma Huang Tang and Qing Long Tang; harmonization uses Liang Ge San; purgation uses Da Cheng Qi Tang and San Yi Cheng Qi Tang; emesis uses Gua Di San. For warm disease and epidemics, Liang Ge San is often used. For routine exterior release, use Tong Sheng San. To drain edema, Yu Gong San and Zhou Che Wan are essential, highly effective for common edema.
