There is no character "Pian" (Chapter) in various editions.
According to the *Jia Yi Jing* (Systematic Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion), it is designated as Chapter 19. The character "Ding" (Determine/Definite) is written as "Shi" (Solid/Real) in some versions. The meaning is the same.
In spring, needle the Luo-connecting vessels. Ma Shi believes that the character "Jing" (Channel/Meridian) should be read as "Luo" (Connecting Vessel). The rationale can be found in *Su Wen: Shui Re Xue Lun* (Treatise on Water and Heat Acupoints). Zhang Jingyue states that taking the Jing in spring refers to the large channels described in *Ling Shu: Ben Shu* (Original Channels), which run between the muscle intervals.
In summer, needle the Sheng-jing (Abundant Channels) and Sun-luo (Fine Connecting Vessels). Ma Shi cites *Shui Re Xue Lun*: "In summer, take the Sheng-jing and Fen-rou (muscle intervals)." It also says: "Those who are cured by penetrating the skin have pathogens residing superficially." This indicates that in summer, Qi is at the body surface, so the disease is also at the surface, confined to the skin, without deep needling. This is precisely because the pathogen resides in a very superficial location. It further states: "What is called Sheng-jing refers to the Yang channels." Therefore, only the Jing-acupoints of the six Yang channels of the hands and feet are selected.
Select the He-sea points. Ma Shi notes that *Shui Re Xue Lun* says: "Taking the He-sea points empties Yang pathogens." From this, we know these refer to the He-sea points of the six Yang channels.
In winter, needle the Jing-well and Ying-spring points. Ma Shi explains that *Shui Re Xue Lun* says: "Take Jing-well points to drain Yin rebellion." Thus, Yin channels should be needled at their Jing-well points, such as Shaoshang (LU-11) of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Channel. Taking Ying-spring points to tonify Yang Qi means Yang channels should be needled at their Ying-spring points, such as Erjian (LI-2) of the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Channel.
Warm Malaria (Wen Nue). *Su Wen: Nue Lun* (Treatise on Malaria) states: "First injured by Wind, then injured by Cold, hence fever precedes chills. It also occurs at specific times, thus called Warm Malaria."
Fifty-nine Needling Points (Wu-shijiu Ci). Detailed in the subsequent chapter *Re Bing* (Heat Diseases). The character "Ci" (Needle/Puncture) is missing or variant in most editions; only Zhang Jingyue's edition writes "Ci".
Wind-Water (Feng Shui) and Skin Distension (Fu Zhang). Ma Shi interprets the character " " as "Shui" (Water). Since the disease is caused by water, the character "Ji" (Disease/Affliction) is prefixed. Feng Shui is mentioned in *Su Wen: Qi Bing Lun* (Treatise on Strange Diseases), *Shui Re Xue Lun*, *Ping Re Lun* (Treatise on Evaluating Heat), and *Lun Ji Zhen Chi Pian* (Treatise on Diagnosing Diseases by Measuring the Arm) of this text. Fu Zhang refers to the condition described in *Shui Zhang Pian* (Treatise on Water Swelling) of this chapter. Commentary: *Waitai Miyao* quotes *Zhouhou Fang* stating that formulas for sudden abdominal distension originate from water pathology. Although the text uses "Ji" to describe the manifestation, it aligns with Ma's explanation. The pronunciation in Wu dialect is similar to "Shui", indicating a pathological appearance, not necessarily swelling.
Fifty-seven [Acupoints]. See *Su Wen: Shui Re Xue Lun*.
Above the Three Yin. In *Jia Yi Jing*, the character "Zhi" is written as "Jiao" (Intersect). Ma Shi explains that tonifying "above the Three Yin" refers to tonifying Sanyinjiao (SP-6), where the Qi and Blood of the three Foot Yin channels intersect, making it suitable for tonification. Since there are two acupoints involved, two characters for "tonify" and one for "all" are used. Zhang Zhicong agrees.
Heat Movement (Re Xing). Ma Shi states: Wait until heat is felt under the needle before stopping. Zhang Jingyue adds: When Yang Qi arrives, heat moves; once heat moves, diarrhea stops.
Tendon Cramping on the Yang Side (Immediately) Puncture Suddenly (Cu Ci). Ma Shi explains that "Cu" is synonymous with "Cu" (Suddenly). The lateral sides of the hands and feet belong to Yang channels. If cramping occurs on the Yang side, treat the Yang channel. The medial sides belong to Yin channels. If cramping occurs on the Yin side, treat the Yin channel. Both should be punctured suddenly. Zhang Jingyue interprets "Cu" as "disease," implying treatment should not be delayed by time but applied immediately according to the condition. Zhang Zhicong notes "Cu" is synonymous with "Cu." Cu Ci involves burning the needle for rapid puncture to treat tendon Bi syndrome. Commentary: Lou's *Gangmu* also writes "Cu," likely based on *Jing Jin Pian* (Treatise on Sinew Channels). This should be recorded as an alternative interpretation.
Pure Water Retention (Tu Shui). Zhang Jingyue states: "Tu" means "only." There is water but no wind, hence called Tu Shui. Commentary: Ma Shi says "Tu" means "only." The previous section discussed Feng Shui (with wind and water). Here, Tu Shui implies no wind but water (Note: Textual logic suggests pure edema). If there were no water, how could the text say "until exhausted, then stop"? It must be a textual error. Zhang Zhicong argues "Tu" means "multitude." Earth irrigates the four directions. If Earth Qi is deficient, the multitude of waters from the four directions overcomes Earth, causing water disease. This explanation is considered overly forced.
Huan Gu. Ma Shi notes: There is no Huan Gu acupoint in standard channels. Only Huantiao (GB-30) exists in the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Channel. Given "three cun below," it is speculated to be Fengshi (GB-31). The reasoning is sound. Zhang Jingyue agrees. Zhang Zhicong defines Huan Gu as selecting the muscle intervals of the hands and feet to drain water. Xi Gu (Valleys) comprise 365 points. Where large muscles converge, it is called Gu. Great convergence refers to the large muscles of the thighs and limbs. Commentary: Based on Zhicong's note, the phrase "three cun" seems inaccurate.
. Ma Shi explains " " as "straight." After insertion, straighten the needle to retain it. Zhang Jingyue compares "Tong" to an arrow case. After insertion, thrust like an arrow, then withdraw. Insert and withdraw repeatedly to exhaust the water. The needle acts like an arrow returning to its case, frequently entering and exiting to open the pathway and drain the water. Zhang Zhicong equates " " with "Tong" (Tube/Cylinder), inserting a tube-like needle, entering and exiting. Commentary: The meaning of "Tong" is unclear in previous annotations. *Jiu Zhen Lun* mentions the round needle has a cylindrical body. " " and "Tong" are identical. Lou's *Gangmu* records: "Tong needle has a hollow center, like water flowing from a tube." Interpreting via Zhicong, it likely describes inserting a needle into a tube to allow water to drain out. Some claim efficacy, but it should not be used recklessly. Zhang Jingyue cites *Zhen Yao*: For water retention, only Shuigou (GV-26) is effective. Needling other points may cause death when water is exhausted. This is crucial to know.
Must be firm; if coming slowly, then vexation and bending; if coming quickly, then quietness. Ma Shi states: To completely remove water, when the water force ends, the flesh must become firm. If water comes slowly, internal vexation occurs; if quickly, internal quietness ensues. Zhang Jingyue notes the lesion is in the skin/flesh, manifesting as firmness. Zhang Zhicong says edema in muscles is floating and soft; after water exhaustion, muscles become firm. I agree with Ma Shi. Commentary: The meaning from "Tu Shui" onwards is obscure. *Jia Yi Jing* has variants but remains unclear. Recorded here for reference. *Jia Yi Jing* states: For Tu Shui, first select three cun below Huan Gu, insert a Pai needle and retain it. Pull and insert, enter and exit repeatedly to exhaust water. Must bind firmly. Loose binding causes vexation; tight binding ensures quietness.
Drink Obstruction-Clearing Medicine. Ma Shi advises drinking medicine to clear obstruction and promote urination, preventing recurrence. Zhang Zhicong suggests that after water exhaustion, drink medicine to strengthen Spleen Earth to prevent water resurgence. Commentary: Ma Shi is correct.
While Drinking, No Food (Until) 135 Days. Zhang Jingyue warns against mixing medicine and food, as it hinders efficacy. After edema subsides, avoid foods that damage Spleen or generate dampness. Only after 135 days can one ensure non-recurrence.
Fixed Bi (Zhuo Bi) Does Not Disperse. Zhang Jingyue cites *Bi Lun*: "Excess Dampness leads to Fixed Bi," characterized by heaviness and difficulty moving, hence "does not disperse." If Cold-Damp stagnates long-term, suddenly needle Zusanli (ST-36) of the Foot-Yangming Stomach Channel to warm and tonify Stomach Qi, dispersing Cold-Damp and curing Bi. Shen Liangchen adds: Xi Gu belongs to bone. This follows the previous text regarding residual water in muscle/cutaneous layers flowing into joints, causing Fixed Bi. Thus, Zusanli is taken to drain the Zang via the Fu.
Bone as the Trunk (Gan). Ma Shi finds this sentence disconnected from context, possibly a fragment from *Jing Mai Pian*. Shen Liangchen explains: Bone pathology lies in the marrow nodes. "Gan" implies hardness like a tree trunk. Thus, Warm Malaria pathogens hide in bone marrow; Damp-Bi qi flows in joints. The bones remain hard and resistant to pathogenic injury. Commentary: Following Ma Shi's note.
Intestinal Obstruction (Chang Zhong Bu Bian). Zhang Jingyue distinguishes: Small Intestine obstruction fails to transform substances; Large Intestine obstruction fails to transmit. Both connect to the Stomach. Therefore, needle Zusanli (ST-36). Excess pathogens require draining; deficiency requires tonifying.
Lepra (Li Feng) (Until) No Other Foods. *Jia Yi Jing* reads "Su" as "Suo"; "Rui Zhen Zhen" as "Shun" (Suck); "E Qi" as "Xue" (Blood). Ma Shi equates "Li" with "Lei" (Leprosy). This describes needling Lepra. *Su Wen: Feng Lun* states: "Lepra involves heat in Ying and Wei, turbid Qi, causing nasal collapse, discoloration, and skin ulcers. Wind-Cold lodges in vessels, named Lepra." *Gu Kong Lun* and *Chang Ci Jie Lun* call it Da Feng. Zhang Jingyue advises proper diet ("Fang Shi") and avoiding wind-aggravating/toxic foods.
Commentary: Lepra is Leprosy, a chronic infectious disease. Symptoms appear years post-infection. Manifestations include widespread numbness, gradual destruction of limbs and nose. Face resembles psoriasis; scratching yields thick fluid; peeling skin causes intense itching. Two types: 1. Macular Leprosy: Red nodules on face/buttocks/limbs, ulcerating, leading to anesthesia, hair loss, and deformity. 2. Neural Leprosy: Initial nerve sensitivity/pain, progressing to anesthesia, nutritional defects, nerve thickening, and facial paralysis.
Abdominal Borborygmus, Qi Rushing Upward to Chest (Until) Zusanli. *Jia Yi Jing* reads "Chang" as "Lei" (Thunder) and "Shang" as "Chang" (Often). Zhang Zhicong attributes this to Large Intestine pathology. As the official of transmission, rebellion causes borborygmus and upward Qi rush. Zhang Jingyue cites *Jiu Zhen Shi Er Yuan*: "Yuan of Huang originates at Bozhong (CV-12/Qihai)." Juxu Shanglian and Zusanli are Foot-Yangming points. *Ben Shu* links Large Intestine to Shanglian. Thus, for Large Intestine邪, needle Juxu Shanglian. For Small Intestine邪 (later text), needle Juxu Xialian.
Small Intestine Pulling Testis (Until) To Regulate. *Jia Yi Jing* includes "Fei" (Lung) after "Xun Gan." Commentary: Based on later text mentioning Taiyin needling, *Jia Yi Jing* seems correct. Shen Liangchen identifies testicular pulling with lumbar/spinal pain and upward rush to heart as Small Intestine Hernia Qi. Zhang Jingyue defines "Kong" as pulling, "Gao" as testicle. Small Intestine connects to lower abdomen; excess邪 causes rebellious Qi rushing to Heart/Lung, steaming Liver/Stomach, pulling lumbar/spine, and affecting Huangqi/testicular roots. Select Yuan source of Huang to dissipate umbilical/abdominal knots. Needle Taiyin to tonify Lung deficiency. Take Jueyin to descend and drain Liver excess. Take Juxu Xialian to address Small Intestine affiliation. Observe traversing channels to locate邪 and regulate.
Long Sigh. Zhang Zhicong: Gallbladder Qi desires to rise, hence long sighs to extend it.
. Zhang Jingyue: Appearance of Heart Deficiency. Commentary: Ma Shi's interpretation as "quiet" is incorrect.
Vomiting Bile. *Jia Yi Jing* and *Qian Jin Fang* add "Zhi" (Juice) after "Ku" (Bitter).
Then Needle Shaoyang Blood Collaterals. Ma Shi: "Ze" should be "Ce" (Side). Gallbladder collaterals are posterior-lateral to ribs. Zhang Jingyue: Also needle Foot-Shaoyang blood collaterals to calm Wood. *Qian Jin Fang* omits "Ze".
Close Gallbladder Rebellion. Ma Shi: "Bi" means stop. Cites *Mencius*: "Present goodness, close evil." Zhu Xi notes: "Bi" means stop.
If Above Shangwan, Then Needle (Until) Remove It. Ma Shi: "Ze" is same as "Ce". Weiwuan is the general term for Shangwan and Xiawan. If above Shangwan, needle while supine, depressing downward. This matches *Shang Ge Pian*: "Qi causes Upper Ge," treated thus. If below Xiawan, needle Xiawan, dispersing and removing. Matches *Shang Ge Pian*: "Worms cause Lower Ge," treated thus. Zhang Jingyue: Depressing downward means needling Shangwan to drain high food Qi. Dispersing and removing means warming Xiawan to scatter cold stagnation.
邪 in Sanjiao Constraint (Until) Take Zusanli. Zhang Zhicong: This is Bladder pathology. Sanjiao lower shu emerges at Weiyang, merging with Taiyang, connecting to Bladder, constraining Lower Jiao. Excess causes urinary retention; deficiency causes incontinence, lower abdominal swelling/pain, inability to urinate. This is Sanjiao constraint. Thus, take the great collateral of Foot-Taiyang (Weiyang). Xiao luo refers to Sun luo. Foot-Taiyang and Jueyin collaterals intersect at the dorsum. Remove constricted blood vessels. Liver governs free flow; constriction in Jueyin collaterals also causes urinary retention. If lower abdominal swelling extends to Weiwuan, take Zusanli. *Shengji Zonglu* states: *Huangdi Sanbu Zhenjiu Jing* says lower abdominal swelling and urinary retention due to Sanjiao邪 is named Sanjiao Constraint. Disharmony of Ying/Wei and Wind invasion cause the Official of Decoction to be constrained, blocking urination/defecation. Needling Foot-Shaoyin/Taiyang channels with decoctions疏导 Sanjiao. Formulas include Zhiqiao Wan etc. (using Rhubarb, Boldo Seed, Apricot Kernel). Commentary: Here, Sanjiao refers to the Bladder. Previous sections listed Six Fu diseases excluding Bladder, confirming Sanjiao equals Bladder here. *Qian Jin Fang* calls Sanjiao the Middle Clear Fu, alias Yuhai, water pathways belong to Bladder. "Yue" (Constraint) is like Pi Yue. Qiao Shineng's edition of *Qian Jin* places "Yue" with the next sentence, which also makes sense. Zhang Jingyue identifies Taiyang great collateral as Feiyang (BL-58). Examining *Jia Yi Jing*, Weiyang is the auxiliary shu of Sanjiao, anterior to Taiyang, posterior to Shaoyang. This is a branch of Taiyang, supporting Zhicong's note.
Observe Color, Examine Eyes, To Know Dispersion and Return. Most editions lack "Mu" (Eye); only Zhang Jingyue has it. Ma Shi: "Yi" means "by." Cites *Analects*: "Observe his motives." Zhang Zhicong: Observing "yi" means observing the cause of disease. Commentary: Zhang added "Mu" based on *Xiao Zhen Jie* of *Jiu Zhen Shi Er Yuan*. Accepted here.
Unify Form. Ma Shi: "Yi" asks if fatness/thinness is equal. Zhang Zhicong: Quietly guard spirit and form, being together.
Disease Will Retreat. Zhang Jingyue: "Xia" means retreat/subside.
All Channels Excess, Disease Cured in Three Days. Zhang Jingyue: Unresolved邪 fears weak pulse. *Ping Ren Qi Xiang Lun*: "Disease inside, empty pulse." *Yu Ji Zhen Zang Lun*: "Disease outside, pulse not solid/firm, difficult to treat." *Xie Ke Pian*: "Empty and fine pulse persists long." All indicate deficiency. If disease in channels and pulse is solid/strong,邪 will exteriorize. Hence, cure in three days.
Qikou Inspects Yin, Renying Inspects Yang. Zhang Jingyue: Qikou is on Hand-Taiyin Lung channel, master of Five Zang, hence inspects Yin. Renying is on head, Foot-Yangming Stomach channel, source of Six Fu, hence inspects Yang.
