The manifestations of Wind affecting the Stomach include excessive sweating on the neck, aversion to wind, difficulty in swallowing food and drink, obstruction and blockage in the chest and diaphragm, frequent abdominal distension, worsening of distension when exposed to cold without adequate clothing, diarrhea after consuming cold food, and upon examination, a thin body with a distended abdomen.

The Yingjing (ST9) acupoint on both sides of the neck is where the Stomach meridian qi resides; therefore, sweat tends to be more abundant on the neck. When Wind pathogen obstructs the Stomach, food and drink cannot pass down, leading to chest/diaphragmatic obstruction and abdominal fullness. Exposure to cold due to inadequate clothing adds external Cold, causing increased distension. Consuming cold food adds internal Cold, resulting in diarrhea. Damage to righteous Qi leads to muscle wasting, hence the thin body; pathogenic stagnation in the middle jiao causes the distended abdomen.

The manifestations of Shou Feng (Head Wind) include excessive sweating on the head and face with aversion to wind. The condition typically worsens one day before the wind arises, with severe headache preventing going out or entering indoors. On the day the wind actually blows, the condition improves slightly. The manifestations of Lou Feng (Leaking Wind) include excessive sweating, inability to wear single-layer clothes normally, sweating during meals, and in severe cases, whole-body sweating, panting, aversion to wind, constantly damp clothes, dry mouth with frequent thirst, and inability to perform physical labor. The manifestations of Xie Feng (Draining Wind) include excessive sweating that soaks the clothes, dry mouth, wind pathogen infiltrating the surface, inability to perform physical labor, generalized body pain, and aversion to cold.

This summarizes the symptoms of Shou Feng, Lou Feng, and Xie Feng mentioned earlier. Shou Feng occurs when Wind pathogen invades shortly after bathing, affecting only the head. Since the head corresponds to Heaven's Qi, when weather is about to become windy, the human body responds accordingly. Thus, headache and aversion to wind occur one day prior, severe enough to prevent going out or in. On the day the wind rises, the pathogenic Qi escapes outward through sweat, leading to slight improvement. Lou Feng results from loose and leaky couli (pores/skin texture), allowing Wind pathogen to enter easily but exit with difficulty. Due to exterior deficiency, single-layer clothes are not tolerated. Eating causes Qi leakage and sweating; severely, the body sweats excessively, accompanied by panting and aversion to wind, indicating Lung Qi deficiency. Excessive sweating consumes fluids, causing dry mouth and thirst. Qi damage prevents physical labor. Lou Feng is often caused by drinking alcohol. Xie Feng arises from exterior deficiency. With exterior deficiency, labor causes generalized pain and sweating; sweating leads to Yang leakage, causing cold sensations. Other symptoms resemble those of Lou Feng.

In *Ling Shu: Wu Bian Pian* (Five Changes Chapter of the Spirit Pivot), the Yellow Emperor asked: How can we diagnose those prone to Feng Jue (Wind Jue) and Lu Han (Dripping Sweat)? Shao Yu replied: Those whose muscles are not firm and whose couli are loose are prone to Wind diseases. The Yellow Emperor asked: How can we identify non-firm muscles? Shao Yu replied: Non-firm muscles without distinct tissue lines indicate coarse texture and loose skin, meaning loose couli. This refers to a homogeneous appearance. Non-firm muscles and loose couli allow Wind pathogen to invade easily, causing susceptibility to Wind disease and profuse sweating like dripping water, termed Lu Han. The area behind the knee (popliteal fossa) should have firm muscles. If muscles there are non-firm without tissue lines, or if the texture is coarse, the skin is not dense and couli are loose. "Homogeneous" here means lacking distinct tissue lines.

In *Su Wen: Ping Re Bing Lun* (Discussion on Evaluating Heat Diseases Chapter of the Basic Questions), the Yellow Emperor asked: There is a disease characterized by fever, sweating, irritability, and fullness, where sweating does not relieve the irritability and fullness. What is this disease? Qi Bo replied: Fever with sweating indicates Wind. Irritability and fullness persisting despite sweating indicate Jue (reversal). This disease is named Feng Jue. The Yellow Emperor requested further explanation. Qi Bo replied: The Taiyang (Greater Yang) meridian governs the body's Qi and is thus the first to receive pathogenic invasion. Shaoyin (Lesser Yin) is its interior-exterior pair. When heat is received, Shaoyin Qi follows upward; following too much leads to Jue. The Yellow Emperor asked: How should it be treated? Qi Bo replied: Needle both the exterior and interior meridians, and administer herbal decoctions.

This corresponds to Zhang Zhongjing's description of Wind damaging Wei Qi. Wind is a Yang pathogen with a dispersing nature, causing spontaneous sweating. The reason irritability and fullness do not resolve with sweating is that Taiyang, also called Ju Yang (Giant Yang), controls Ying and Wei Qi and governs the exterior of the body. Its meridian internally connects with Shaoyin, forming an interior-exterior relationship. Because Wind pathogen in Taiyang transforms into Heat, Shaoyin Qi follows upward. "Following upward" means counter-flowing upward. Yin merges with Yang, resulting in excess above and deficiency below. Excess above causes persistent irritability and fullness; deficiency below causes cold feet and Jue. Caused by Wind pathogen, it is named Feng Jue. Treatment requires addressing both exterior and interior: needling to release the exterior and taking decoctions to harmonize the interior.
