The pathogenic factors of Heaven (external environmental pathogens), when invading, harm the Five Zang Organs; the cold and heat of food and drink, when invading, harm the Six Fu Organs; the dampness of Earth, when invading, harms the skin, flesh, sinews, and vessels. (See Category on Treatment Principles, VIII.)
The onset of all diseases must first occur at the hair and skin. When pathogens invade, the Cou Li (skin texture and pores) open; once open, they enter and lodge in the Luo Collaterals. If they remain there without departing, they transmit to the Jing Main Vessels; if they remain there without departing, they transmit to the Fu Organs, accumulating in the stomach and intestines. When pathogens initially enter the skin, the fine hairs stand up, and the Cou Li open; when they enter the Luo Collaterals, the collateral vessels become full and their color changes; when they lodge in the Jing Main Vessels, they sink due to deficiency; when they remain between the sinews and bones, excessive cold causes sinew spasm and bone pain, while excessive heat causes sinew flaccidity, bone emaciation, muscle wasting and cracking, and hair becoming straight and deteriorating. Pathogens lodging in the skin cause the Cou Li to open; once open, pathogens enter the Luo Collaterals; when the Luo Collaterals are full, they pour into the Jing Main Vessels; when the Jing Main Vessels are full, they enter and lodge in the Fu and Zang Organs. (Meridians XXXI.)
When pathogens lodge in the body, they must first settle in the hair and skin; if they remain without departing, they enter the Sun Collaterals (finest collaterals); if they remain without departing, they enter the Luo Collaterals; if they remain without departing, they enter the Jing Main Vessels, internally connecting to the Five Zang Organs and dispersing into the stomach and intestines. When both Yin and Yang are affected, the Five Zang Organs are injured. This is the sequence of pathogens entering from the hair and skin and reaching the extreme depth of the Five Zang Organs. (Acupuncture XXX.)
Wind and rain damaging humans first lodge in the skin, transmit to the Sun Collaterals; when the Sun Collaterals are full, they transmit to the Luo Collaterals; when the Luo Collaterals are full, they transport to the large Jing Main Vessels. Cold and dampness damaging humans cause the skin to lose its tension and the muscles to become hard and tight. (Diseases XIX.)
When Heaven and Earth are mild and warm, the "waters of the meridians" (meridian qi and blood flow) are calm; when Heaven is cold and Earth frozen, the waters congeal and stagnate; when Heaven is hot and Earth warm, the waters boil and overflow; when sudden storms arise, the waters surge and rise in waves. Similarly, when pathogens enter the vessels, cold causes blood to coagulate and stagnate, while heat makes Qi fluid and lubricated. Deficient pathogens take this opportunity to invade, just as water surfaces rise in waves when struck by wind; the arterial pulses of the meridians also rise in waves intermittently. (Acupuncture XIV.)
Pathogens lodging in the Luo Collateral of Foot-Shaoyin (Kidney) cause sudden heart pain, acute distension, and fullness/support in the chest and hypochondrium. Pathogens lodging in the Luo Collateral of Hand-Shaoyang (Sanjiao) cause throat obstruction, tongue rolling, dry mouth, vexation, and pain along the lateral aspect of the arm down to the hand, not reaching the head. Pathogens lodging in the Luo Collateral of Foot-Jueyin (Liver) cause sudden hernia and acute pain. Pathogens lodging in the Luo Collateral of Foot-Taiyang (Bladder) cause headache, neck, and shoulder pain. Pathogens lodging in the Luo Collateral of Hand-Yangming (Large Intestine) cause Qi fullness in the chest, panting with support, and heat in the chest. Pathogens lodging between the palm and arm cause inability to flex. Pathogens lodging in the Foot-Yangqiao Vessel cause eye pain starting from the inner canthus. Pathogens lodging in the Luo Collateral of Hand-Yangming (Large Intestine) cause deafness and intermittent loss of hearing. Pathogens lodging in the Luo Collateral of Foot-Yangming (Stomach) cause nasal congestion, epistaxis, and coldness in the upper teeth. Pathogens lodging in the Luo Collateral of Foot-Shaoyang (Gallbladder) cause hypochondriac pain, difficulty breathing, coughing with sweating. Pathogens lodging in the Luo Collateral of Foot-Shaoyin (Kidney) cause sore throat preventing swallowing, unprovoked irritability, and Qi rushing upward to the diaphragm. Pathogens lodging in the Luo Collateral of Foot-Taiyin (Spleen) cause lower back pain radiating to the lower abdomen and testicles, making supine breathing difficult. Pathogens lodging in the Luo Collateral of Foot-Taiyang (Bladder) cause spasms and back stiffness, radiating to the hypochondrium with pain. Pathogens lodging in the Luo Collateral of Foot-Shaoyang (Gallbladder) cause pain in the pivot area (Huantiao), making thigh lifting impossible. Pathogens lodging between the Five Zang Organs cause pain radiating along the vessels, coming and going intermittently. Pathogens lodging in the Luo Collaterals of Hand-Shaoyin (Heart), Foot-Shaoyin (Kidney), Hand-Taiyin (Lung), Foot-Taiyin (Spleen), and Foot-Yangming (Stomach)—these five collaterals all converge in the ear and ascend to connect with the left corner of the head. If all five collaterals are exhausted, it causes movement in the body's pulses but insensibility of the form, resembling a corpse; this is called Corpse Jue (Shi Jue). (Acupuncture XXX.)
Pathogens in the Lung cause skin pain, aversion to cold and fever, upward rushing of Qi with panting, sweating, and coughing that moves the shoulders and back. Pathogens in the Liver cause pain in the middle of both hypochondria, internal cold, retention of evil blood, frequent pulling sensations in the joints during movement, and occasional foot swelling. Pathogens in the Spleen and Stomach cause muscle pain. If Yang Qi is excessive and Yin Qi deficient, there is internal heat and frequent hunger; if Yang Qi is deficient and Yin Qi excessive, there is internal cold, borborygmus, and abdominal pain. If both Yin and Yang are excessive or both deficient, there will be alternating cold and heat. Pathogens in the Kidney cause bone pain and Yin Bi (deep bi syndrome). Yin Bi is characterized by tenderness that cannot be pinpointed by pressure, abdominal distension, lower back pain, difficulty defecating, pain in the shoulders, back, neck, and occiput, and occasional dizziness. Pathogens in the Heart cause heart pain, frequent sadness, and occasional dizziness and fainting. (Acupuncture XXV.)
Diseases of the Six Fu Organs: Facial heat indicates Foot-Yangming disease; blood in the webbing of the thumb (Yu Ji) indicates Hand-Yangming disease; vertical and depressed pulses above both dorsum pedis indicate Foot-Yangming disease, which is the Stomach meridian. Large Intestine disease involves cutting pain and gurgling in the intestines; heavy exposure to cold in winter leads to diarrhea, pain around the navel, and inability to stand for long periods, sharing symptoms with Stomach disease. Stomach disease involves abdominal distension, pain in the epigastrium centered at the heart pit, upward support to both hypochondria, blockage of the diaphragm and pharynx, and inability to swallow food and drink. Small Intestine disease involves lower abdominal pain, pain radiating from the lower back and spine to the testicles, frequent urgency for defecation, heat in front of the ears, severe cold, or isolated heat in the shoulder, and heat between the little finger and ring finger. Sanjiao disease involves abdominal Qi fullness, especially hardness in the lower abdomen, inability to urinate, urgency, and if fluids overflow and stay, it becomes distension. Bladder disease involves unilateral swelling and pain in the urinary region, desire to urinate but inability upon pressure, heat in the shoulder or depressed pulse, and heat on the lateral aspect of the little toe and behind the tibial malleolus. Gallbladder disease involves frequent sighing, bitter taste, vomiting of old bile, palpitations in the epigastrium, fear of being captured, dry throat, and frequent spitting. (Acupuncture XXIV.)
Unregulated joy and pleasure damage the Zang Organs; Zang damage means disease arises from Yin. Clear dampness attacks deficiency, so disease arises from below. Wind and rain attack deficiency, so disease arises from above. Worry and rumination damage the Heart; severe cold damages the Lungs; anger damages the Liver; intercourse while drunk with sweat exposed to wind damages the Spleen; excessive exertion, or intercourse followed by sweating and bathing, damages the Kidneys. (Diseases II.)
The Five Zang receive Qi from what they generate (Mother), transmit it to what they overcome (Overcome), retain Qi in what generates them (Mother - *Note: Text says 'Qi she yu qi suo sheng', literally 'Qi lodges in what it generates', but contextually often refers to Mother-Child relationship dynamics or specific transmission paths; translating literally*), and die from what overcomes them (Overcoming). When the Five Zang have disease, each transmits to what it overcomes. If untreated, according to the pattern, within three months or six months, or three days or six days, after transmitting through the Five Zang, death occurs. This is the sequential transmission following the overcoming order. Thus it is said: Distinguishing Yang allows one to know the origin of the disease; distinguishing Yin allows one to know the timing of life and death. (Zang-Xiang XXIV.)
Wind and cold damage the Form; worry, fear, and anger damage Qi. Qi damage affects the Zang, resulting in Zang disease; Cold damage affects the Form, resulting in Form disease; Wind damage affects the Sinews and Vessels, resulting in Sinew/Vessel response. (Acupuncture XXXI.)
Wind damages the Liver; Dryness overcomes Wind. Heat damages Qi; Cold overcomes Heat. Dampness damages Flesh; Wind overcomes Dampness. Heat damages Skin and Hair; Cold overcomes Heat. Cold damages Blood; Dryness overcomes Cold. (Zang-Xiang VI.)
The Heart manifests as belching; the Lungs as coughing; the Liver as speaking; the Spleen as swallowing; the Kidneys as yawning and sneezing; the Stomach as rebellious Qi, hiccups, and fear; the Large and Small Intestines as diarrhea; the Lower Jiao overflowing as water retention; the Bladder with dysfunction as strangury; lack of control as enuresis; the Gallbladder as anger. (Diseases XXV.)
Worry and rumination immediately damage the Heart. Dietary irregularities and fatigue immediately damage the Spleen. Furthermore, if eating is very excessive, sweat comes from the Stomach; intercourse while drunk and full, sweat comes from the Spleen. Sitting long in damp places or forcing entry into water immediately damages the Kidneys. Anger causes Qi to rebel upward and not descend, immediately damaging the Liver. Furthermore, running fast and fearing, sweat comes from the Liver. (Yunqi XLIV. Also Diseases III, slightly similar.)
Disease caused by emotional injury to the Five Zang has a specific time of death. The Five Zang store Essence; they must not be damaged. Damage leads to loss of containment and Yin deficiency; Yin deficiency leads to lack of Qi; lack of Qi leads to death. (Zang-Xiang IX.)
The fluids of the Five Zang and Six Fu Organs all seep upward into the eyes. Sadness causes Qi to merge, leading to tension in the Heart Vessels; tension in the Heart Vessels causes the Lung to lift; lifting of the Lung causes fluids to overflow upward, resulting in coughing and weeping. (Diseases LVIII.)
Lung disease presents with panting and flaring nostrils; Liver disease presents with bluish complexion; Spleen disease presents with yellow lips; Heart disease presents with short, curled tongue and red cheekbones; Kidney disease presents with black cheekbones and face. (Pulse and Color Class XXXI.)
Frequent borborygmus in the abdomen, Qi rushing to the chest, panting unable to stand long, indicates Pathogen in the Large Intestine. Lower abdomen pulling to testicles, radiating to waist and spine, rushing up to the heart, indicates Pathogen in the Small Intestine, which connects to the testicular cord, belongs to the spine, penetrates the Liver and Lungs, and networks the Heart Vessels. Excess Qi causes reversal and upward rushing to the stomach and intestines, steaming the Liver, dispersing into the Huang (diaphragmatic fat), and knotting at the navel. Frequent vomiting with bitter fluid, long sighs, central chest discomfort, and fear of being caught indicate Pathogen in the Gallbladder with rebellion in the Stomach. Inability to eat, blockage in the diaphragm, indicates Pathogen in the Epigastrium. Lower abdominal pain and swelling, inability to urinate, indicates Pathogen in the Sanjiao constraint. (Acupuncture XLVII.)
Thin luster appearing on the eyebrows indicates disease in the Skin. Blue, yellow, red, white, or black lip colors indicate disease in the Muscle. Fluid-like Ying Qi indicates disease in Blood and Qi. Blue, yellow, red, white, or black eye colors indicate disease in the Sinews. Scorched, dry ears covered in dust indicate disease in the Bone. (Acupuncture XXVI.)
Cunkou pulse floating and slippery indicates daily progression of disease. Renying pulse deep and slippery indicates daily improvement. If Cunkou pulse is slippery and deep, disease progresses daily and is internal. If Renying pulse is slippery, vigorous, and floating, disease progresses daily and is external. If the floating/deep nature of the pulse and the size comparison between Renying and Cunkou are equal, the disease is difficult to cure. For disease in the Zang, deep and large pulse indicates easy recovery; small pulse is adverse. For disease in the Fu, floating and large pulse indicates easy recovery. Renying pulse vigorous and firm indicates injury by Cold. Qikou (Cunkou) pulse vigorous and firm indicates injury by Food. (Pulse and Color XXXII.)
Rapid pulse causes vexation; choppy pulse causes heart pain. (Pulse and Color XXI.)
Disease of Ying (Nutritive) Qi presents with chills, fever, shortness of breath, and blood moving up and down. Disease of Wei (Defensive) Qi presents with Qi pain that comes and goes, chest oppression with rumbling sounds, due to Wind-Cold lodging in the stomach and intestines. Cold Bi disease, if remaining without departing, causes intermittent pain and insensibility of the skin. (Acupuncture XXXII.)
Wei Qi remaining in the abdomen, accumulating and not moving, stagnating and unable to reach its normal location, causes fullness in the limbs, hypochondria, and stomach, panting, and reversed respiration. (Acupuncture XXVI.)
Carefully examining Wei Qi reveals it as the mother of all diseases. (Acupuncture XXIX.)
Disease of the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel): Men develop seven types of internal hernias; women develop leukorrhea and masses. Disease of the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel): Rebellious Qi and internal urgency. Disease of the Du Mai (Governing Vessel): Stiff spine and opisthotonos. Disease arising here: Qi rushes from the lower abdomen to the heart causing pain, inability to pass stool or urine, called Chong Hernia. In women: infertility, strangury, hemorrhoids, enuresis, dry throat. (Meridians XXVII.)
Foot-Yangming is the Sea of the Five Zang and Six Fu Organs; its vessels are large with abundant blood, and its Qi is vigorous with strong heat. (Meridians XXXIII.)
Disorder of the Five Zang leads to blockage of the Seven Orifices; disorder of the Six Fu Organs leads to retention and formation of carbuncles. (Meridians XXII.)
Disease in the Heart and Lungs causes nasal obstruction. (Zang-Xiang XI.)
Thin skin lacking luster, flesh not firm but overly moist, indicates poor function of the stomach and intestines; pathogens linger, leading to major accumulations. (Diseases LXXVI.)
Little food intake but excessive Qi indicates Pathogen in the Stomach and Lungs. (Diseases XXI.)
Disease of the Jing Jin (Sinew Meridians): Cold causes reverse bending and sinew spasm; Heat causes sinew flaccidity and inability to contract. Yang-side spasm causes reverse bending; Yin-side spasm causes inability to extend forward. (Disease Class LXIX.)
Qi rushes upward to the diaphragm. (Acupuncture XXX.)
