夫虚劳上气者。肺气虚弱。邪气盛实也。气聚于肺。则肺布叶举。上焦不通。气满胸中。
故为上气之疾。虚劳上气者。缘肺主于气。为阳。阳气有余。则致肺满上逆。虚劳之病。或
阴阳俱伤。或血气偏损。今是阴气不足。阳气有余。故上气也。

Deficiency consumption with upward qi (Xu Lao Shang Qi) is a condition caused by deficiency of lung qi and excess of pathogenic factors. When qi accumulates in the lungs, it causes the pulmonary lobes to expand and the dispersing function to be obstructed, leading to blockage of the upper jiao (upper burner) and qi stagnation in the chest, thus resulting in the disease of upward qi. The term "deficiency consumption with upward qi" arises because the Lung governs qi and belongs to Yang; an excess of Yang qi leads to fullness in the Lung and rebellion of qi upwards. Deficiency consumption diseases may involve injury to both Yin and Yang, or imbalance between blood and qi. In this case, there is insufficiency of Yin qi and excess of Yang qi, hence the symptom of upward qi.
