Wu Yun: "Qi disease" (Strange Disease) refers to illnesses that are distinct from ordinary diseases. Jian An: Conditions such as Wind disease (Wind Syndrome), Bi disease (Obstruction Syndrome), Jue disease (Jue Syndrome), and Wei disease (Flaccidity Syndrome) belong to many categories. The cases recorded in this chapter, such as aphonia during pregnancy (Chongshen Shengyin), Xiji (Accumulated Breath), and Zhenjin (Tendon Rash), are all peculiar diseases; hence the chapter is named "Qi Disease."
Chongshen (Pregnancy): The *Book of Songs* (Shijing) states, "Da Ren had a body." Mao's Commentary explains: "Body means heavy." Zheng's Subcommentary explains: "It refers to pregnancy." Ma Shi notes: "Heavy is pronounced with a level tone."
Aphonia at Nine Months: Ma Yun says: "Yin means mute." Medical texts state that after conception, the Liver Meridian nourishes the fetus in the first month, the Gallbladder Meridian in the second, the Heart Meridian in the third, the Small Intestine Meridian in the fourth, the Spleen Meridian in the fifth, the Stomach Meridian in the sixth, the Lung Meridian in the seventh, the Large Intestine Meridian in the eighth, the Kidney Meridian in the ninth, and the Bladder Meridian in the tenth. Yin meridians precede Yang meridians, starting with Wood and ending with Water, following the sequence of the Five Elements generating each other. However, reasoning from principles, the Qi and Blood of the twelve meridians of the hands and feet flow continuously day and night without interruption; there is no day or time when they do not jointly nourish the fetal Qi. There must be no principle of meridians nourishing the fetus separately. Now, saying "aphonia at nine months," it is likely that by the ninth month, the pregnancy has been long-standing, and the fetal body grows daily. The collateral vessels of the uterus connected to the Kidney Meridian become obstructed and blocked, so occasionally some individuals experience aphonia; this does not happen to everyone. (Here, "jue" means obstruction, not severance. The *Suwen: Shengqi Tongtian Lun* states: "Great anger causes the form and Qi to be obstructed, and blood stagnates above." This also refers to obstruction. The *Linghu: Jingmai Pian* states: "The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian ascends from the kidney, passes through the liver and diaphragm, enters the lung, follows the throat, and clamps the root of the tongue.") Zhang Jingyue notes: "Yin means hoarseness where the voice cannot be produced." Jian An: Xu Zhicai's method of monthly fetal nourishment is found in the *Qianjin Fang*. Xiao's *Nuke Jinglun* cites Zhang Huang's commentary: "Yin means having speech but no sound, hence the classic says 'cannot speak.' These two characters 'bu neng' (cannot) do not mean absolute silence. Human sound originates in the throat and issues from the root of the tongue. Because the fetal mass is large, it obstructs the meridian ascending from the kidney to the throat. Since the Kidney Meridian enters the lung, follows the throat, and ties to the root of the tongue, and the throat is the domain of the Lung which governs sound, the person may wish to speak internally, but others cannot hear, thus it is called Yin. The Lung and Kidney are mother-son organs, hence it is said that no treatment is necessary. If the *Daquan Jie* interprets this as not speaking, it would be a Heart disease, because the Heart governs vocalization. This is unrelated to fetal aphonia." Zhang Huang's discussion is as follows. However, medical theories cite Shao's *Houwenjianlu*: "Hao Weng, named Yun, was from Boling. A pregnant woman could not speak due to silent throat. Hao Weng said: 'The fetal sac is large, causing meridian congestion. Once the child is born and meridians flow, speech will return. Do not use toxic medicines.' It also cites *Yiyu*: 'Pregnant women whispering is not a disease. Upon hearing this, medication is unnecessary. On the day of delivery, only administer Baosheng Wan or Siwu Tang; natural speech returns postpartum, which is natural law, not the merit of medicine.' All these refer to fetal aphonia. Yin is tongue aphonia; the Kidney Meridian ties to the root of the tongue, making the principle clear. Xiao's citation is pedantic and absurd. Furthermore, Guo's *Baoqing Ji*, Chapter 9, mentions postpartum aphonia treated with Qizhen San, indicating that this syndrome occurs not only before birth."
Baoluo (Uterine Collaterals): Zhang Jingyue notes: "Collaterals within the uterus, collaterals of the Chong and Ren meridians." Wu Kun notes: "Refers to branch collaterals within the uterine chamber." Xi: Root system.
Ci Fa Yue (The Method of Needling States): From here until "Cheng Qi Zhen." Wu Kun considers this a separate chapter, which is correct.
Cheng Qi Zhen (Forming Rash/Disease): Wu Kun notes: "Zhen means disease." Zhang Zhicong agrees. Jian An: The *Guoyu* states: "Orphans and widows suffer from zhen." The *Shanghan Li* states: "Common people exposed to pathogens inevitably contract sudden zhen." Wang Bing's annotation is likely incorrect.
Ranhou Tiao Zhi (Then regulate them): These four characters should be deleted according to the *Xin Zhengxiao*. They are clearly annotations mixed into the original text. Why did various families interpret them as original text?
Wu Yong Shi Ye (Useless Stone): Zhang Zhicong notes: "Shi refers to needles, stones, and bi-shi (stone needles)." The *Zhenjing* states: "If both form-Qi and disease-Qi are insufficient, this indicates insufficiency of both Yin and Yang Qi. One must not needle. If one needles, it leads to double insufficiency. Double insufficiency leads to exhaustion of Yin and Yang, depletion of Blood and Qi, emptiness of the five Zang organs, withering of sinews, marrow, and bones. The elderly perish, and the robust do not recover." Therefore, emaciated individuals should not recklessly use needles and stones.
Fu Zhong You Xing Er Xie Zhi (Draining what is tangible in the abdomen): Zhang Zhicong notes: "Xie means draining via needling." The *Zhenjing* states: "The harm of needling: if inserted and not removed, essence leaks. Essence leakage makes the disease worse and [weak]." Note: Abdominal accumulations are tangible. In the female uterus, it does not benefit excess; in Xiji, it is stated that moxibustion and needling are contraindicated; in Fuliang, it is stated that it should not be moved. Thus, tangible things in the abdomen should not be drained by needling. Even if the needle hits the pathogen, if the tangible object remains, it drains the vital essence instead. The healthy Qi exits, while the pathogenic disease dominates within, leading to Cheng Qi Zhen. Jian An: Ma Shi and Zhang Jingyue follow Wang Bing's note, interpreting it as related to pregnancy, which is incorrect.
Xie Xia Man Qi Ni (Fullness under the ribs and rebellious Qi): Ma Yun says: "Fullness and distension under the ribs, with severe rebellious Qi causing panting."
Xiji (Accumulated Breath): Wu Kun notes: "Xiji is the same as Xiben and Feiji." Zhang Jingyue notes: "Accumulations not in the center but under the ribs start small and grow large over time, causing rib fullness, rebellious Qi, panting, and difficulty breathing, hence named Xiji. Currently, some have accumulations under the left rib, commonly called Pi; this is this condition. It is especially common in children. Likely due to excessive dietary injury, the Spleen fails to transform, leaving residual Qi stagnant and accumulating here. Its root lies between the ribs. When the Yangming disease worsens, it connects upward to the Lung. This is why it is called Xiji." Jian An: The *Baibing Shisheng Pian* states: "Stagnation remaining prevents resolution, Xiji forms accumulation." Based on this, "Xi" means growth. (From Gusu's annotation in the *Book of Han: Annals of Emperor Xuan*.) Like the proliferation of flesh. The *Shengji Zonglu* states: "Xi and Xi are alternating events of Yin and Yang. Now Qi gathers under the ribs, resting without dissipating, accumulating without dispersing, thus causing fullness and rebellion as disease. However, since the Qi resides externally and does not affect the Stomach and Intestines, eating is not hindered; it specifically harms respiration. Daoyin can move accumulated Qi, and medicinal power also relies on Daoyin to act. There is a formula attached in Volume 57." Interpreting Xiji as "resting without dissipating, accumulating without dispersing" is very accurate. However, saying it "harms respiration" is somewhat misleading.
Ji Wei Daoyin Fu Yao (Accumulation requires gradual Daoyin and medication): Gao Shishi notes: "Ji means gradually. One must gradually perform Daoyin and take medication. Daoyin means operation/circulation. Circulation allows recovery of deficient meridians. If only taking medication, medicine cannot cure alone."
Chi Mai Shuo Shen (Radial pulse rapid and severe): Jian An: The *Nanjing: Thirteenth Nan* states: "If the pulse is rapid, the skin of the Chi position is also hot." Ding's annotation: "Shuo corresponds to Heart. Hence the skin inside the arm is hot." This shares the same meaning as this context.
Jin Ji Er Xian (Sinew tension becomes visible): Wu Kun notes: "The large sinews of the body become tense and rigid." Jian An: Wang Bing's annotation is correct.
Zhenjin (Tendon Rash): Wu Kun notes: "Disease of the sinews." Jian An: The *Shengji Zonglu* states: "Heat causes sinews to relax; cold causes sinews to tense. Now, Liver Qi is internally deficient. Deficiency generates cold, hence sinews tense and become visible. The Radial pulse being rapid and severe suggests that the Chi position examines the abdomen. If the abdomen is tense, the Radial pulse appears rapid. Rapid also indicates deficiency due to internal Qi deficiency. Since Qi is cold and sinews tense, and the complexion shows white and black, this is a sign of extreme cold. There is a formula attached in Volume 42." Also, the *Waitai Mi Yao* states: "[Pi] Qi, upon onset, both sinews become string-tense. Chen's *Furen Liangfang* states: '[Pi]' refers to a tendon vessel in the abdomen near the umbilicus on either side, painful and tense. The larger is like an arm, the smaller like a finger. Formed by Qi, shaped like a string, named '[Pi] Qi.' Huilin's *Yiqie Jing Yinyi* states: '[Pi] disease' is cold Qi disease in the abdomen. Upon onset, vessels swell and pull tightly, like a bowstring, hence commonly called '[Pi] Qi disease.'" According to Wang Bing's note, this is Zhenjin.
Ming Yue Jueni (Named Jueni/Reversal Cold): The *Shengji Zonglu* attaches formulas in Volume 51. Li's *Lanshi Micang* has Qianghuo Fuzi Tang. Luo's *Weisheng Baojian* has Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Tang. Wei's *Defang Fang* has Baifuzi San, all treating headache caused by severe cold invading the brain.
Di Yue Shan (The Emperor said: Excellent): Gao Shishi notes: "These three characters are superfluous."
Wu Qi Zhi Yi Ye (Overflow of the Five Qi): Wu Kun notes: "Fishy, scorched, fragrant, musky, putrid." Zhang Jingyue notes: "Transformations of the Five Flavors." Ma Yun: "Qi of the Five Zang organs." Zhang Zhicong notes: "Wu Qi refers to Earth Qi. Earth is central, number five, flavor sweet, organ Spleen." Gao Shishi agrees. Cloud: "Yi means overflowing." Jian An: The Wanli edition of *Yishuo* writes "Earth Qi"; Zhicong's note is correct. Wang's intent should be the same.
Pi Dan (Spleen Pungency): The *Shengji Zonglu* states: "Food enters Yin and boosts Yang. Excess of rich and sweet foods causes internal heat and middle-fullness, making Yang Qi abundant. Hence single Yang is Dan. The symptom is a sweet taste in the mouth. If untreated for a long time, it transforms into Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst) due to rising heat Qi. There is a formula attached in Volume 45."
Shi Gan Mei Er Duo Fei (Eating sweet/delicious and fatty foods): The *Jiayi Jing* reads "Frequently eat delicious food and consume much sweet/fatty food." Jian An: The *Jiayi Jing* is correct. Mei Cheng's *Qi Fa* states: "Sweet, crisp, rich, and thick foods are called drugs that rot the intestines."
Zhuan Wei Xiao Ke (Transforming into Wasting-Thirst): Wu Kun notes: "Zhuan, written as Chuan. Chuan means transmission over a long time. Xiao Ke drinks water, consumes it quickly, yet thirst does not cease."
Yi Lan Chu Chen Qi (Using Orchid to remove stale Qi): The *Shengji Zonglu* treats Pi Dan with sweet taste and middle-fullness using Lancao Tang. Lancao (Orchid herb) one liang, sliced. Take one ingredient, boil in three cups of water to obtain one and a half cups, remove dregs, divide into three warm doses, anytime. Zhang Jingyue notes: "Lancao is sweet and cold in nature, with a fresh fragrance. It can generate fluids, quench thirst, and moisten muscles, thus removing stale, accumulated heat Qi." Jian An: Li Gao's *Shixiao Fang* has Lanxiang Yinzi. *Lanshi Micang* names it Ganlu Gao, treating Xiao Ke with extreme thirst, good appetite but emaciation. Wang Xun's *Yaoxing Zuanyao* states: "What the *Suwen* calls 'treating with orchid to remove stale Qi' refers to the leaves of Youlan and Jianlan, not Lancao or Zelan. Jianlan and Youlan did not exist in ancient times; this plagiarizes the erroneous theory of Kou Zongshi and Chen Jiamo."
Kou Ku Qu Yanglingquan (Bitter taste in mouth, select Yanglingquan): These six characters should be deleted according to the *Xin Zhengxiao*. Various families find them confusing.
Fu Gan Zhe Zhong Jiang Ye (The Liver is the General within): The *Jiayi Jing* has the six characters "Dan Zhe Zhong Jing Zhi Fu" (The Gallbladder is the Middle Essence Mansion) above "Gan," differing from the *Xin Zhengxiao*. The *Lingshu: Shichuan Pian* states: "The Liver governs as the General." The *Liujie Zangxiang Lun* states: "All twelve organs depend on the Gallbladder." The *Benshu Pian* states: "The Liver combines with the Gallbladder; the Gallbladder is the Middle Essence Mansion." (*Wuxing Dayi* citing *Hetu* has the same text). This section primarily discusses the Gallbladder; the *Jiayi Jing* text is correct. The *Shengji Zonglu* writes: "The Gallbladder is the Official of Uprightness, the Pure Mansion, upon which the eleven organs depend, and the throat acts as its envoy."
Yan Wei Zhi Shi (The Throat Acts as Envoy): Zhang Jingyue notes: "The Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian ascends clamping the throat. The Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian follows behind the throat, entering the Yingse. Thus, Liver and Gallbladder meridians all converge at the throat. Hence the throat acts as its envoy."
Dan Xu Qi Shang Yi (Gallbladder Deficiency, Qi Overflows Upward): The *Jiayi Jing* lacks the character "Xu" (Deficiency). Wu Kun: "Xu, written as Xu (Exhale). Cloud: Exhaling Qi, Qi overflows upward." Wang Ang notes: "Wu changed Dan Xu to Dan Xu, which is inadequate. Qi overflowing upward is the meaning of the character Xu." Ma Yun: "This Gallbladder Qi becomes deficient due to excessive labor." Zhang Jingyue notes: "Frequent deliberation without decision exhausts both Liver and Gallbladder. Exhaustion leads to deficiency. Deficiency means Qi is not secure, hence Gallbladder Qi overflows upward." Jian An: Frequent deliberation without decision should cause Gallbladder Qi depression. The *Jiayi Jing* seems plausible. The *Shengji Zonglu* states: "Frequent indecision makes the pure turbid and disturbed. Hence Qi overflows upward, causing bitter taste in the mouth. The Classic states 'Movement disorders cause bitter taste,' attributing it to Qi movement. There is a formula attached in Volume 42. *Weisheng Baojian* has Longdan Xiegan Tang. (Different from Dongyuan's formula.)"
Dan Mu Yu (Gallbladder Front-Mu and Back-Shu Points): Wu Kun notes: "Dan Mu is the Riyue point. Dan Yu is below the tenth thoracic vertebra on the spine, one and a half cun lateral on both sides." Jian An: The *Jiayi Jing* states: "Riyue is the Gallbladder Front-Mu point, located five fen below Qimen." Ma Shi mistakenly identified it as Qimen. Wang Bing's notes on Front-Mu and Back-Shu points originate from the *Nanjing: Sixty-Seventh Nan*.
Zhi Zai Yin Yang Shi'er Guan Xiangshi Zhong (Treatment lies within the mutual assistance of the Yin-Yang Twelve Officials): Zhi, Wu Kun changes to "Lun" (Discussion). Note: "This refers to the discussion in *Linglan Midian*." Zhang Jingyue agrees. Jian An: Wang Bing notes: "The current classic is lost; unknown what this refers to."
You Long Zhe (Those with Long/Urine Retention): Wu Kun notes: "Long means inability to urinate. Those with Long who urinate dozens of times a day..." Due to deficiency and decline of Middle Qi, when attempting to urinate, Qi cannot transport, resulting in incomplete emptying. After a short while, the urge arises again, but the output is scant. Jian An: The *Kouwen Pian* states: "Insufficiency of Middle Qi causes changes in urination and defecation." Chen's *Sanyin Fang* states: "Lin (Strangury) was anciently called Long; names differ. Long means fatigue/exhaustion. Lin means dripping. Although the modern name is vulgar, it fits the meaning. This explanation is incorrect." Dai Tong's *Liushu Gu* states: "Lin and Long are essentially one sound. Emperor Shang of Han had the taboo name Lin, hence Long was changed to HT. Longlv County was changed to Lvlv County. Both the *Neijing* and *Bencao Jing* use the character Long; writing Lin is a later alteration."
Shen Re Ru Tan Jing Ying Ge (Body heat like charcoal, neck/chest like a barrier): Wu Kun notes: "Body heat like charcoal, because the Stomach governs muscles. Neck/chest like a barrier, because the Stomach Meridian follows the throat and descends along the inner breast margin." Zhang Jingyue notes: "Like a barrier means upper and lower communication is blocked, as if obstructed."
Chuanxi Qi Ni (Panting and rebellious Qi): Ma Yun: "His breath pants, his Qi is severely rebellious." Zhang Jingyue notes: "Chuanxi means rapid breathing. Qi Ni means failure of regulation/control."
Xiwei Ru Fa (Fine and thin like hair): The *Jiayi Jing* lacks the character "Wei" (Fine).
Bing Zai Taiyin Qi Sheng Zai Wei Po Zai Fei (Disease in Taiyin, Excess in Stomach, Partially in Lung): Ma Yun: "This disease is in Taiyin, meridian insufficiency. Observed by the fine and weak pulse at the Qi Kou. The Qi excess is in the Stomach, observed by the agitated and full pulse at the Renying. The *Liujie Zangxiang Lun*, *Lingshu: Zhongshi*, *Jinfu*, etc., all state that a Renying pulse three times fuller indicates disease in Yangming. Hence it is called 'excess in Stomach.' As for panting and rebellious Qi, it partially concerns the Lung. However, the Lung is deficient, not excess. It is merely pathogenic Qi." Jian An: Comparing with Wang's explanation, the meaning is clearer. Wu Kun identifies Taiyin as Spleen; Zhang Jingyue identifies it as Spleen and Lung, which deviates from the classic's intent.
Ci Suo Wei De Wu Youyu (This is called obtaining Five Excesses): The *Jiayi Jing* lacks the three characters "Wu Suo Wei" (No such thing).
Wu Bing Zhi Qi Youyu Ye (Qi of the Five Diseases is in excess): The *Jiayi Jing* lacks the character "Wu" (Five).
Ci Qi Shen Bu Biao Bu Li Yi Zheng Si Ming Yi (This body is neither exterior nor interior, clearly a death case): The *Jiayi Jing* lacks the character "Shen" (Body). "Zheng Si" is written as "Si Zheng" (Death syndrome).
Dian Ji (Dian Disease/Epilepsy): Zhang Jingyue notes: "This is epilepsy. In the original classic, Dian and Dian are interchangeable. The meaning of this section is visible. Families explaining it as the vertex/top of the head are incorrect. Infants born with epilepsy are now called congenital diseases. I have never heard of a congenital disease of the vertex."
Mu You Suo Da Jing (Mother experienced great fright): The *Jiayi Jing* has several characters below "Mu." Zhang Zhaohuang says: "Diseases contracted in the womb are not limited to fright-epilepsy. Pregnant women must be extremely cautious in diet and lifestyle to produce intelligent, healthy offspring." Gao Shishi notes: "If Qi rises but does not descend, essence and fright Qi reside together. After birth, this causes the child to develop epilepsy. This epilepsy is a congenital strange disease and belongs to untreatable conditions."
[Pang] Ran [Zhong]: Pang [ ] are identical. The *Yupian* states: "Large." It describes a floating/swelling appearance. Pang also refers to miscellaneous/mixed. Hence Wang Bing interprets both meanings. Detailed in the *Ping Re Bing Lun*. Ma's version, [ ] is written as [ ].
Shen Wu Tong Zhe (Body without pain): Wu Kun notes: "Because the disease is not related to the exterior, the body has no pain."
Shen Feng (Kidney Wind): Ma Yun: "Kidney belongs to Water, hence Kidney deficiency causes water contraction. The Kidney should not be affected by Wind. Hence if Wind is present, the body floats. Wind-heat makes the pulse large. Wind combats Water, making the pulse tight. Fullness attacks the Spleen, causing inability to eat. Even if eating, intake is small. The *Shuire Xuelun* states: 'The Kidney is the gate of the Stomach. If the gate is not functional, water gathers to form disease.' Then it is difficult to desire eating." Gao Shishi notes: "Water moves due to Wind, hence named Kidney Wind." Jian An: Wang Bing's annotation in *Feng Lun* states: "When the Kidney receives Wind, the face swells [Pang] and becomes puffy." Zhang Jingyue, however, says: "Not external Wind, but Wind generated internally." The concept of internal Wind is unverified, thus it should not be followed.
Jing Yi Xin Qi Wei Zhe Si (After fright, if Heart Qi is flaccid, death ensues): Wu Kun notes: "Kidney pathogen overwhelms the Heart, causing susceptibility to fright. If after fright the Heart Qi remains strong, this is called correct Spirit, belonging to life. If after fright the Heart Qi is flaccid, this is called loss of Spirit, belonging to death." Zhang Zhicong notes: "Kidney Wind is not a death case. This disease originates in the Kidney and transmits inversely to what it conquers, hence death." Jian An: Wei, Ma Shi, and Zhang Jingyue still follow Wang Bing's meaning.
