帝曰∶愿闻人之五脏卒痛，何气使然？岐伯对曰∶经脉流行不止，环周不休。寒气入经而稽
迟，泣而不行。客于脉外则血少；客于脉中则气不通，故卒然而痛。夫腹痛之证，多因劳役过甚
，饮食失节，中气不足，寒气乘虚而客之，故卒然而作大痛。经曰∶得炅则止。炅者，以热治寒
，治之正也。然腹痛有部分，脏位有高下，感受不同，为病非一。故痛有九种，曰寒、热、食、
血、湿、痰、虫、虚、实是也。凡痛绵绵无减增，以热手暖气按之，饮热姜汤之类得暂止，脉沉
迟者，虚寒也。时痛时止，腹满坚实，按之愈痛，口渴，大便秘结，脉洪数者，实热也。痛甚欲
大便，利后痛减，脉沉实者，食积也。痛有常处而不动移，从心下至腹，遍满而痛，若小便不利
，宜通小便。若小便利者，属蓄血，脉涩者，瘀血或死血也。居处卑湿，多饮停蓄为涎，肥人气
虚，脾湿生痰，小便不利，或得辛辣热汤少可，脉濡滑
者，湿痰也。痛定能食，时作时止，面白唇红，或肚上青筋肿聚，往来无休止，呕吐清水，脉乍
大乍小者，虫也。（脉宜沉细，忌浮大）。

The Yellow Emperor asked: I wish to hear about the sudden pain of the five zang organs in humans; what qi causes this? Qibo replied: The flow of qi and blood in the meridians never ceases, circulating around the body without rest. When cold pathogen enters the meridians, its flow becomes sluggish, stagnant, and obstructed. If it lodges outside the vessels, blood volume decreases; if it lodges inside the vessels, qi mechanism becomes blocked, thus causing sudden pain. Generally, abdominal pain is often caused by excessive labor, irregular diet, deficiency of middle jiao qi, allowing cold pathogen to invade when the defense is weak, resulting in sudden severe pain. The classics state: "Obtaining heat stops it." "Jiong" (heat) refers to treating cold with heat, which is the correct method. However, abdominal pain has specific locations, zang-fu positions vary in height and depth, and the pathogens contracted differ, so the diseases are not uniform. Therefore, there are nine types of pain: cold, heat, food stagnation, blood stasis, dampness, phlegm, parasites, deficiency, and excess.
Pain that is continuous without increase or decrease, relieved by warm hand pressure or drinking hot ginger soup, with a deep and slow pulse, indicates deficiency-cold pain. Pain that comes and goes, accompanied by abdominal fullness and firmness, worsened by pressure, thirst, constipation, and a flooding and rapid pulse, indicates excess-heat pain. Severe pain with an urge to defecate, relief after defecation, and a deep and solid pulse indicates food stagnation pain. Pain fixed in one place, moving from the epigastrium down to the abdomen, with generalized fullness and pain; if urination is difficult, promote urination. If urination is normal, it belongs to blood retention; a choppy pulse indicates blood stasis or dead blood. Living in low, damp places, frequently drinking stagnant water transforming into saliva/phlegm, obesity with qi deficiency, spleen dampness generating phlegm, difficulty in urination, or slight improvement after spicy hot drinks, with a soggy and slippery pulse, indicates damp-phlegm pain. Pain subsides allowing eating, pain comes and goes, pale face with red lips, or swelling of green veins on the abdomen, unceasing episodes, vomiting clear fluid, with a pulse that suddenly becomes large or small, indicates parasite pain. (The pulse should be deep and fine, avoiding floating and large).
