Ma Yun states: The first chapter comprehensively lists various types of pain and adopts a question-and-answer format, hence the chapter title. Wu Kun, based on the *Xin Zheng* (New Corrections), changed the title to "Cu Tong" (Sudden Pain).
The people must have verification in themselves. In the *Guoyu · Chu Yu*, Zi Ge, the Right Yin of Chu, said: "The people are born from Heaven; knowing Heaven's will necessarily means knowing the people's will."
One must be satisfied with oneself (or reject/discard). Zhang Jingyue annotated: "Yan (厌) means satisfaction." Gao Shishi annotated: "Yan means rejection. Reject what is wrong and follow what is right." Danbo Yuanjian's commentary considers Zhang Jingyue's annotation correct.
The essential number reaches its extreme. Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: In the *Suwen · Yubai Lun Yao Pian*, it is stated: "The essence of the ultimate numbers is proximate and subtle."
Clearly and distinctly. The Song edition lacks the character "Yi Ming". Gao Shishi relied on this for his analysis. Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: Examining Wang Bing's annotations, the Song edition is closer to the original meaning.
Like removing a blindfold or resolving confusion. In the Song edition, "Ru" (like/as if) is written as "Er" (and/then). Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: "Meng" (blindfold) is identical to "Meng". In the *Suwen · Cijie Zhenxie Lun*, it states: "The second is Fa Meng (removing visual obstruction)." In the *Liji · Zhongni Yanju*, it states: "Clear as if removing a blindfold." Also seen in Dongfang Shuo's *Seven Laments*: "Hoping the ruler removes his blindfold." In the biography of Yang Xiong of the Han Dynasty: "Removing the blindfold, vast and clear." In the biography of Dou Rong: "Vast as if removing a blindfold." (In the Jin Dynasty, Gu Kaizhi wrote *Qi Meng Ji*, and Zhu Xi had *Yi Xue Qi Meng*.) In Mao Heng's commentary on the *Shijing*: "Having pupils but unable to see is called Meng." Wang Chong in *Lunheng* says: "A person who has not studied is called Meng." "Meng" refers to bamboo or wood categories, which can all serve as evidence. Wang Bing's annotation is inappropriate.
Delayed and slow. The *Shuowen Jiezi* states: "Ji (稽) means to stay and stop."
Contracted and twisted (not extending). Xiong Zongli provided phonetic readings: "Xiong sound," reverse cut "Bei Yuan fan." It means not extending.
Constricted and urgent. Phonetic explanation: "Chu (绌)," Ding Gu Qie. Zhang Jingyue annotated: "Chu means bent and curved." Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: In the *Guangyun*, "Chu," Zhu Lv Qie, sounds like "Jiong." In the *Xunzi · Feixiang Pian*: "Huanji Yingchu." The annotation states: "Still speaking of extension and contraction."
Jiong (Heat). Xiong Zongli provided phonetic reading: "Ancient Hui reverse cut," meaning the appearance of smoke emerging. Tang Chun's *Yuanbing Ji* states: "Ling (灵), sounds like Ling." A slight heat appearance. The *Neijing · Jutong Lun* states: "When cold qi lodges outside the vessels, pulling small collaterals causing pain, obtaining Ling stops the pain." The annotation states: "Ling means heat." Checking the *Pianyun*, "Jiong" means bright. It has no direct relation to heat. Checking records, there is "Ling," which is a slight heat appearance. It is likely that copyists mistakenly wrote "Jiong" instead of "Ling." Whether this is true remains to be examined and read. (Checking dictionaries: "Jiong," *Tangyun* Gu Jiong Qie, sounds like Ying. *Shuowen*: To see. *Guangyun*: Light. "Ling," *Guangyun* Lang Ding Qie, sounds like Ling. *Zilei*: Slight heat appearance. *Zhengzitong*: Colloquial form of "Ling.") Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: Both Xiong Zongli and Tang were mistaken. Gao Shishi says: "Jiong" is identical to "Ling," meaning heat. (*Jiyun*: "Ling," Ju Yong Qie, sounds like Jing, steaming heat. *Zihui*: Ju Yong Qie.) *Tongya* states: "The 'Jiong' in *Lingshu* and *Suwen* should be the same as 'heat.'" This view is appropriate.
And cannot be pressed. Hua Shou said: This should be interpreted as severe pain that does not cease.
Below the membrane source. Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: Wang Bing's annotation on *Nuelun* states: "Muyuan refers to the root system of the diaphragm membranes." This differs from the annotation here.
The vessels flanking the spine. Zhang Jingyue said: "Those flanking the spine are the Foot Taiyang Meridian. The deepest among them are the Fu Chong and Fu Lü vessels, so pressing cannot reach their location." Gao Shishi said: "It is the Fu Chong vessel." The deep aspect means that when pathogenic factors lodge in the Chong vessel flanking the spine, the location is deep; whereas in the abdominal Chong vessel, it floats on the exterior and is shallow. Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: The Chong vessel has distinctions between floating and sinking, as seen in the *Lingshu · Wuyin Wumei Pian*. Gao Shishi's annotation has superior reasoning.
Originating at Guanyuan. Ma Yun said: According to the *Gukong Lun*, the Chong vessel originates at Qichong. Now saying it "originates at Guanyuan" is likely because the Ren vessel runs upward through the center of the navel, while the Chong vessel rushes upward alongside both sides of the navel. Thus, originally originating at Qichong and running parallel with the Ren vessel, it can also be said to originate at Guanyuan. Zhang Jingyue said: "Guanyuan is an acupoint of the Ren vessel, located three cun below the navel. The Chong vessel originates in the uterus." (From the *Wuyin Wumei Pian*) which is Guanyuan.
Following it. Wu Kun said: Qi moves along with it.
Pulsating movement palpable by hand. Ma Yun said: When panting occurs with movement, pain is felt upon manual palpation. Gao Shishi said: At the Renying and Koucui points, the pulse is rapid and palpable. Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: Wang Bing, Wu Kun, and Zhang Jingyue did not explain this. It likely refers to the throbbing sensation in the abdomen. The *Lingshu · Bai Bing Shisheng Pian* states: "When it attaches to the Fu Chong vessel, palpating reveals pulsating movement." This is exactly the meaning. "Chuan" (panting) might be interchangeable with "Ruan" (soft/moving). "Ruan" sounds like "Ruan." The *Shuowen* states: "Movement." Ma Yun and Gao Shishi's annotations are likely incorrect.
Upon pressing, warm qi arrives; when warm qi arrives, pain ceases. Hua Shou said: These thirteen characters above are unclear in reference. Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: The Gao Shishi edition moved these thirteen characters to the fourth pair of questions, so under "therefore pressing stops the pain," the textual flow is coherent, which is extremely correct.
Pulling each other downwards. Wu Kun wrote "pulling each other up and down," which is incorrect.
Between the small intestine and the membrane source. Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: The text above states: "Between the intestines and stomach, below the membrane source." Zhang Jingyue said: "Membrane refers to fascia. Source refers to the origin of Huang (bladder fat). Between the intestines and stomach, below the membrane source, all are empty spaces." Interpreting "Source" as the "Origin of Huang" is likely erroneous. The *Bai Bing Shisheng Pian* states: "Settling outside the intestines and stomach, between the Muyuan." It also states: "Attaching to the Muyuan of the intestines and stomach." The *Taiyin Yangming Lun* states: "The spleen and stomach are connected by membranes." Generally, between the zang-fu organs, there are membranes that separate them and systems that connect them. This is the membrane source. Therefore, Wang Bing's annotation on *Nuelun* states: "The root system of the diaphragm membranes." Ma Shi's annotation on the *Bai Bing Shisheng Pian* states: "What is outside the intestines and stomach, between the membrane sources, is the space inside the skin and outside the membranes." This explanation is close to being correct.
Large vessels. Gao Shishi said: The large collaterals of the zang-fu organs. Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: The *Bai Bing Shisheng Pian* states: "When the pain temporarily subsides, the large vessels take over." The *Lihe Zhenyelun* states: "Disrupting the large vessels." All refer to this meaning.
Accumulations formed after one night. Gao Shishi said: "Suxi" means lingering for a long time. Another interpretation: "Not just morning but evening," thus painful overnight. Wang Ang said: According to this, it is equivalent to modern intestinal hernia (small intestine qi).
Rebellious counterflow with upper discharge. Wu Kun said: Upper discharge refers to vomiting and surging. If surging and rebellious are severe, yin qi must be exhausted.
Yin qi exhausted, yang qi has not entered. Ma Yun said: The qi of the yin meridians is exhausted, and defensive qi cannot enter, causing cold qi to stagnate. Gao Shishi said: Yin qi is exhausted internally, while yang qi is deficient externally and cannot immediately enter the yin. With yin qi exhausted and yang qi not yet entered, sudden pain and unconsciousness occur. After a short while, the exhausted yin qi recovers, and the unentered yang qi returns. Fluctuating between exacerbation and relief leads to survival.
Cannot form aggregations. Zhang Jingyue said: Food and fluids cannot remain stagnant. Gao Shishi said: Not forming accumulations, followed by diarrhea and abdominal pain. Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: Wang Bing's annotation is correct.
Warm qi remaining in the small intestine. Wu Kun said: This clarifies the condition of abdominal pain with blockage and lack of free passage. Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: This chapter narrates fourteen cases of abdominal pain; only one belongs to heat, while the rest belong to cold. Wang Ken-tang's *Zhengzhi Zhunsheng* contains relevant discussions, which should be consulted. Additionally, Shi Zaizhi's formulas list each syndrome with pulse indications and treatments; the text is too lengthy to record here, but consultation is recommended.
Indeed, each has its specific location. Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: Wu Kun changed "Gu" (indeed/solid) to "Mian" (face), which is pedantic.
Observe the five colors. Ma Yun said: According to Section 4 of the *Lingshu · Se Pai*, the principle is the same as this.
Sunxi (diarrhea with undigested food). Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: The *Jiayi Jing* and *Taisu* write it as "food and rebellious qi." However, in the *Jingmai Pian*, diseases governed by the liver include vomiting, rebellious qi, and sunxi; it is unlikely the characters were changed.
Lungs spread, leaflets elevated. Gao Shishi said: The lung organ spreads widely, and the lung leaflets elevate. Danbo Yuanjian's commentary: This follows Quan Yuanqi's annotation; we now adopt it.
Upper jiao blocked, ying and wei do not disperse. Wu Kun said: The two "bu" (not) characters are incorrect.
Essence retreats. Wu Kun said: Que means stepping back, i.e., retreating.
Therefore, qi does not move. The *Xin Zheng* correction states: "Bu" (not) should be "Xia" (down). Examining the preceding text, "Xia" is correct. Wu Kun also follows this. Ma Yun, however, said: Those who write "descending movement" do not understand the circulation of meridians. Zhang Jingyue also cited the *Benshen Pian*: "Those who worry have qi blocked and not moving," to prove this, but it is unreliable.
Qi does not move. The *Xin Zheng* cites the *Jiayi Jing*, which seems plausible. Wu Kun said: Qi refers to ying-wei surface qi. This is also acceptable.
Both interior and exterior are scattered. Ma Yun said: When humans engage in labor, qi moves and causes panting, and sweat inevitably emerges externally. Panting causes internal qi to scatter, and sweating causes external qi to scatter; therefore, using this method leads to consumption and dispersion.
