张氏医通咳嗽门。载增补素问五脏六腑咳治例。当参看。
Wu Yun: That which produces sound is called "ke" (cough); that which involves continuous, connected sounds is called "sou" (phlegm-rattling cough). The text mentions only "ke" and omits "sou"; this is a textual ellipsis. *Rumen Shiqin* states that sou and ke are the same syndrome. Later scholars sometimes classified sou as Yang and ke as Yin, but there is no evidentiary basis for this. Furthermore, the chapter "Ke Lun" (Treatise on Cough) in the *Neijing* discusses only ke, without using the character sou. Therefore, ke is equivalent to sou, and sou is equivalent to ke. *Yinyang Yingxiang Dalun* states: "Injury by dampness in autumn generates coughing in winter." *Wuzang Shengcheng Pian* states: "Cough with rebellious Qi." *Zhenyao Jingzhong Lun* states: "If acupoints corresponding to autumn are needled in spring, it leads to coughing." *Shicongrong Pian* states: "Cough accompanied by vexation indicates rebellion of Kidney Qi." In the *Suwen*, the term "kesou" (cough) appears together only in these four passages; in other chapters, only "ke" is used, not "sou". Thus, "kesou" refers to a single syndrome.
Jian An notes: *Shiming* explains: Ke means "carving"; when Qi rushes in and out unevenly, it resembles carving. Sou means "hasty"; it implies forceful and rapid action. Wu’s interpretation aligns with this. Liu Wansu stated: Ke refers to sound without phlegm; sou refers to phlegm without sound (*Baoming Ji*). Li Tangqing refuted this, stating there is no evidence (*Xinyin Gan Zhu*). This view is correct.
Regarding cold food and drink: *Xieqi Zangfu Bingxing Pian* states: "Exposure to cold in form and ingestion of cold drinks injures the Lung. Because internal and external cold interact, both interior and exterior are injured, causing Qi to rebel and move upward." Wang Ang stated: Cold affecting the skin and hair is external cold injury; consuming cold drinks and food is internal cold injury. Modern people only know of external cold injury and ignore internal cold injury, erroneously classifying it as Yin Syndrome. This is incorrect. Without reading the *Neijing*, how could one know this? Jian An notes: Internal cold injury indeed exists, but it is distinct from Yin Syndrome.
"Transmitted to each according to its time": Zhang Jiebin annotated: For example, the Liver should be diseased in Spring, as it is the season of Wood. However, the Liver may also be diseased outside the Wood season because the Lung first received the pathogen and transmitted it to the Liver. The principle applies similarly to other Zang-Fu organs receiving pathogens out of season. Wang Ang noted: Ma Shi’s annotation suggests the Lung transmits pathogens to the Five Zang organs causing cough; Li Shicai followed this, which is erroneous. Given the opening statement "The Lung causes people to cough" and the concluding remarks regarding the Lung, it is clear that cough originates from the Lung.
"For diarrhea and pain": Wu Yun explained: The preceding text discusses combined internal and external pathogens, so the disease manifestations involve both interior and exterior. Cough is an exterior syndrome; diarrhea is an interior syndrome. Cold in the exterior causes body pain; cold in the interior causes abdominal pain. This represents symptoms involving both interior and exterior. Jian An notes: Wang Bing’s annotation interpreting this as "astringent dysentery" is likely incorrect.
"Cheng Qiu Ze" (When encountering Autumn): Jian An notes: According to Lin Yi’s new corrections, the complete edition and *Taisu* do not contain these three characters. However, since the following text mentions "encountering Spring," "encountering Summer," etc., the complete edition and *Taisu* likely suffered from textual loss. Versions from Ma Shi onwards include these characters.
"First Received Pathogen": Wu Yun stated: Being "first affected" implies that subsequently the Lung is involved, leading to cough.
"Zhi Yin" (Extreme Yin): Gao Shishi annotated: The Spleen is the Extreme Yin among the Yin organs,寄旺 (residing and flourishing) through the four seasons. Encountering Zhi Yin refers to its time of flourishing. Jian An notes: *Bi Lun* states that those encountering Zhi Yin suffer from Muscle Bi. Wang Bing annotated: Zhi Yin refers to the months of Wu and Ji, and the months where Earth resides.
"Wheezing with Sound": *Zhoubing Yuanhou Lun* and *Waitai Miyao* add the character "Sheng" (sound) after "Yin" (sound).
"Throat feels obstructed like a blockage": *Jiayi Jing* writes "Jiejie" as "Hehe" (New Corrections state that *Jiayi Jing* writing "Jiejie ru geng zhuang" as "Hehe" is an error). "Geng" is written as "Geng" in *Zhoubing Yuanhou Lun*. Wu Yun stated: Jiejie implies a hard obstruction causing hindrance. Zhang Zhicong annotated: *Xieqi Zangfu Bingxing Pian* states: "Excessively large Heart pulse indicates throat obstruction." Since the throat is the orifice of the Lung, excessive Heart Fire insulting Metal (Lung) causes the sensation of blockage in the throat. Jian An notes: The commentary on *Xijing Fu* states that plants piercing humans is called "geng".
"Cannot turn or roll": *Waitai Miyao* writes "cannot turn or side-lean," which seems more plausible.
"Yin Yin draws to shoulders and back": *Zhoubing Yuanhou Lun* writes "draws to shoulders." ○ Ma Zhen noted: Referencing *Ci Shi Nan Zhi*, collecting Li Dongyuan’s formulas for Five Zang Coughs: Lung Cough uses Mahuang Tang; Heart Cough uses Jiegeng Tang; Liver Cough uses Xiaochaihu Tang; Spleen Cough uses Shengma Tang; Kidney Cough uses Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Tang. Although these may not fully match every clinical presentation, they are recorded here for reference.
"Chang Chong" (Long Worms): Zhang Jiebin annotated: These are roundworms (Ascaris), residing in the intestines. Severe vomiting causes them to exit upwards with the Qi. Jian An notes: *Zhoubing Yuanhou Lun* states Chang Chong are roundworms, about one chi long. *Xieqi Zangfu Bingxing Pian* states: "Slightly slippery Spleen pulse indicates worm poison... Hui (roundworm)." Pronounced "Hui". *Shuowen* states: Long worms in the abdomen. *Guanyanzi* states: Inside the human body are pinworms and roundworms; outside are lice and nits. Dongfang Shuo’s *Shenyi Jing* states: Roundworms in the abdomen resemble earthworms; these are grain-consuming worms. Too many harm the person; too few prevent proper digestion of grain. Thus, roundworms commonly reside in the intestines.
"Vomiting Bile": *Qianjin Fang* writes "clear bitter fluid exits." *Sishiqi Pian* states: "When Gallbladder fluid leaks, the mouth tastes bitter; when Stomach Qi rebels, bitter vomit occurs." Hence it is called "vomiting gallbladder."
"Cough with involuntary defecation": Zhang Zhicong annotated: "Shi" should be read as "Shi" (feces). *Lian Po Zhuan* states: "Sat for a moment and passed stool three times." Jian An notes: *Jiayi Jing* writes "Shi," which is correct. *Zhoubing Yuanhou Lun* writes "Shi" (feces); *Qianjin Fang* writes "Fen" (excrement).
"Sanjiao Cough": Zhang Jiebin annotated: If chronic cough persists, the Upper, Middle, and Lower Sanjiao all become diseased. Ingestion, excretion, ascending, and descending functions lose harmony, resulting in abdominal fullness and inability to eat or drink. Jian An notes: Wang Bing interpreted this as referring to the Upper and Middle Sanjiao; Ma Shi interpreted it as the Hand-Taiyang Sanjiao. Both are likely incorrect.
"All these gather at the Stomach and relate to the Lung": Ma Zhen stated: The coughs of the Five Zang and Six Fu organs are thus, yet they all gather at the Stomach because the Stomach is the master of the Five Zang and Six Fu. They relate to the Lung because the Lung first receives the pathogen and then transmits it to other organs. This causes excessive saliva and facial edema, all due to Qi rebelling upward. This is the general summary of Zang-Fu cough diseases. Jian An notes: This explanation surpasses Wang Bing’s annotation. Zhang Jiebin and Gao Shishi still follow Ma Shi’s meaning.
"Treat their Shu points": Zhang Zhicong annotated: Cough located in the Five Zang should be treated via their Shu points. The Shu points of the Five Zang are all on the back. To locate the Back-Shu points, first measure the distance between the two nipples, then use grass to measure across the back; this determines the location for moxibustion and needling of the Five Zang Shu points. Jian An notes: This is based on *Xueqi Xingzhi Pian*, whereas various commentators attribute it to *Benshu Pian*; it is unclear which is correct.
"Treat their He points": Zhang Zhicong annotated: He points treat interior Fu organs. Therefore, cough located in the Six Fu organs should be treated using He points. Stomach He point enters Zusanli; Large Intestine He point enters Shangliao (Upper Leg Three Empty); Small Intestine He point enters Xialiao (Lower Leg Three Empty); Sanjiao He point enters Weiyang; Bladder He point enters Weizhong; Gallbladder He point enters Yanglingquan. Gao Shishi agrees. Jian An notes: This is based on *Xieqi Zangfu Bingxing Pian*, whereas various commentators attribute it to *Benshu Pian*; it is unclear which is correct.
"Treat their Jing points": Zhang Zhicong annotated: For edema, treat using the Jing-River meridians of the Lung and Stomach. Jian An notes: The preceding text mentioned Shu and He points; previous annotations seem appropriate. *Zhengzhi Zhunsheng* and Zhang’s *Yitong* (Cough section) contain supplemented treatment examples for Five Zang and Six Fu Coughs from the *Suwen*; these should be consulted.
