Discourse states: In the condition of *Gu Zheng* (Bone-steaming) with vexation and thirst, Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi) and Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) are exhausted, leading to emaciation of muscles. Deficient Yang Qi steams upward, causing dryness and depletion of body fluids, resulting in chest vexation and heat, parched throat, and consequently, mental restlessness, thirst, and a desire to drink copiously.
