When the physical form is weak and the vital energy (Qi) is consumed, as noted by Ma Yun: The sweat from the soul (Po-han) has not yet ceased, and the interstices (Cou-Li) are not yet closed. The physical form is weak and the vital energy is consumed; this is due to external contraction of wind-cold, causing the interstices to close. It should manifest as Wind Malaria.
The *Malaria Chapter* states that malaria, as a syndrome, does not occur only in autumn; it can develop in all four seasons. Briefly noted: Wang Bing's commentary mentions "when autumn arrives, the autumn sun returns," hence this discussion.
Wind Malaria: This is simply malaria. It certainly does not refer to a specific type of disease called "Wind Malaria." The *Jin Gui Zhen Yan Lun* says, "In autumn, one is prone to Wind Malaria." It also says, "Those who do not sweat during summer heat will develop Wind Malaria in autumn." The *Ci Malaria Chapter* says, "Wind Malaria manifests with sweating and aversion to wind." The *Malaria Chapter* says, "All malaria arises from wind." All these can serve as evidence.
Therefore, wind is the beginning of a hundred diseases. Zhang Yun: Whenever pathogenic factors injure the Defensive Qi, such as the cold, heat, dampness, qi, and wind mentioned above, none enter without relying on wind qi. Thus, wind is the beginning of a hundred diseases.
Upper and lower do not combine: Wu Yun: Yang is referred to as upper, Yin as lower. When Yang contains Yin and Yin contains Yang, it is called "combine" (Bing). It means that after wind-cold illness persists for a long time, the pathogenic factor transforms; Yang descends from above and Yin ascends from below, which is called "not combining." This indicates that water and fire do not interact, and Yin and Yang separate. Briefly noted: Wang Bing interprets "Bing" as communication, which aligns with Wu's meaning.
Excellent Physician: Wang Chong's *Lun Heng* states, "A physician who can cure one disease is called skillful; one who can cure a hundred diseases is called excellent." Therefore, an excellent physician masters prescriptions for a hundred diseases and treats illnesses of a hundred people.
Yang Qi should be obstructed: Ma Yun: "Ge" refers to obstruction and lack of free flow. Briefly noted: Here, "Ge" does not refer to dysphagia (Ye-Ge). Both Wang Bing and Ma Yun cite the phrase "Three Yang knotting is called Ge," which is likely incorrect.
Reversing these three times: Zhi Yun: Refers to dawn (Pingdan), noon (Rizhong), and afternoon (Rixi).
The form becomes exhausted and thin: Ma Yun: Unavoidably becoming distressed and emaciated.
Arising urgently (Qi Ji): Wu changed it to "Shou" (guard). Ma Yun: Ying Qi stores the essence of the five zang organs and circulates within the meridians along with Zong Qi, while externally having a exterior-interior relationship with Wei Qi. When Wei Qi responds externally, Ying Qi immediately arises to respond. This is called "Qi Ji." Zhang Yun: "Ji" is synonymous with Qi. The *Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun* states, "Essence transforms into Qi." This refers to storing essence and arising Qi. "Ji" is pronounced like "Qi." Zhi Yun: Yin governs storing essence, and the Qi within Yin arises quickly to respond externally. Yang governs defending the exterior and solidifying Yin. Wang Yun: "Qi" means arising to respond. If there is a call from outside, the interior rises frequently to respond. For example, if summoned by favorable conditions externally, the Heart arises with joy to respond; if summoned by adverse conditions externally, the Liver arises with anger to respond, and so on. Briefly noted: Among these explanations, it is unknown which is correct. Wang's explanation seems easier to understand. Moreover, Wang Bing's intent also seems reasonable.
Combining leads to mania: Zhang Yun: "Bing" refers to Yang pathogenic factors entering the Yang aspect, known as Double Yang. Briefly noted: Although different in meaning from Wang Bing's note, the underlying intent is similar.
Yang cannot overcome Yin: Gao Yun: Yin-cold is excessive. When Yin-cold is excessive, the Qi of the five zang organs contends. Contention means mutual disharmony.
Arrange the Yin and Yang: Zhang Yun: Similar to saying arranging them properly so that neither dominates excessively. Wu Yun: "Chen" means to set or arrange. Briefly noted: Wang Bing reads "Chen" as "Xun" (follow), but the basis is unclear.
Qi establishment remains as before: Zhang Yun: Humans receive the Qi of Heaven and Earth to establish life, hence it is called "Qi establishment." However, only when Yin and Yang are harmonious can Qi establishment remain normal. The first section's statement that "the root of life lies in Yin and Yang" precisely refers to these two sections. Briefly noted: Wang Bing's statement that "True Qi stands alone" seems clear and apt.
Wind guests invade and disorder Qi: Wang Bing's commentary on the *Bi Lun* states: "Yin Qi refers to Qi moving recklessly." Briefly noted: The *Shuo Wen Jie Zi* states: "Yin means soaking and spreading according to the grain." Xu Kai says: "Following its meridian lines, it soaks and permeates." Ma Yun: When wind comes to lodge within, soaking and thereby disturbing Ying and Wei Qi, wind presses inward and heat arises. This seems inappropriate.
Consequently eating full: Zhang Yun: The following three sections all relate back to the previous text "Wind guests invade and disorder Qi." Since wind qi has become disordered externally, if one subsequently eats until full, then [pathogens] follow to guest the Yangming channel... Briefly noted: The word "yin" (consequently/because of) appears three times in the following text, hence this interpretation.
Intestinal Pi leads to hemorrhoids: Wu Yun: Fluids in the intestines accumulate and obstruct, leading to hemorrhoids. Briefly noted: The *Xu Zi Hui* explains "Pi" as water between the intestines, likely based on this chapter. I have examined that "Pi" originally refers to accumulation; because of water accumulating between the intestines, it takes the water radical. In *Waitai Miyao*, Pi Yin is sometimes written as Pi Yin, which is completely different from the meaning in Zhuangzi. The term "Chang Pi" appears ten times in the *Suwen* and *Lingshu*, mostly referring to bloody and white dysentery. Only this chapter says, "Chang Pi leads to hemorrhoids." It is likely an ancient general term for intestinal filth, pus, and blood exiting from the anus. Wang Bing added the character "er" (and), saying "Chang Pi leads to hemorrhoids." Wu expanded the meaning to explain it, which is acceptable. Zhang Yun: Having Chang Pi and hemorrhoids, accompanied by dysentery with pus and blood. This seems like a careless reading. Ma Yun: His intestines daily accumulate, gradually expelling out through the anus to become hemorrhoids. Does this interpret "Pi" as folds? It is difficult to accept.
Consequently exerting strength forcefully: Wu and Zhang follow Wang Bing's note, interpreting it as sexual intercourse involving forceful exertion. Ma, Zhi, and Gao interpret it as using physical strength forcibly. Briefly noted: The following text says, "Kidney Qi is injured," so Wang Bing's note seems more appropriate.
Yang being dense leads to solidity: Chao Yuanfang's *Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* writes "Yin dense, Yang solid" (from Volume 12, Cold and Heat Disease Syndromes). Examining the following text: "If Yang is strong but cannot be dense, Yin Qi will perish." Thus, Chao Yuanfang is mistaken. Zhi Yun: This summarizes the meaning of the preceding text and emphasizes Yang.
This is called the standard of the Sage: Gao Yun: The preceding text says, "The Sage arranges Yin and Yang, harmonizing internal and external," hence it again says "harmonize accordingly." Zhi Yun: This is called the method of regulation by the Sage.
Contracted due to exposure to wind: Ma Yun: This refers to encountering mist and dew mentioned earlier. Wang Bing's note interprets "Lu" (dew/exposure) as nakedness, which is incorrect. Zhi Yun: Dew is Yin pathogen; wind is Yang pathogen. The Yin and Yang pathogens in heaven damage the Yin and Yang of our body, resulting in cold and heat diseases. Zhang Yun: Being exposed to wind causes cold pathogen to invade externally and Yang Qi to resist internally; Yin and Yang contend, thus generating cold and heat. Briefly noted: Zhang's note is slightly similar to Wang's intent.
Hole diarrhea (Dong Xie): The *Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun* writes "Sun Xie" (undigested stool diarrhea). The *Lun Ji Zhen Chi* writes "Hou Xie Chang Pi." Knowing that Dong Xie is Sun Xie. The *Xie Qi Zang Fu Bing Xing* states: "Dong means food is not digested; upon swallowing, it comes back out." The *Jia Yi Jing* writes "Dong Xie." Probably "Dong" and "Tong" are homophones. The *Shuo Wen Jie Zi* states: "Tong is a flute." Xu Kai says: "Open and hollow without bottom." Emperor Yuan of Han played the Dong Xiao, annotated as same as Tong. Water and grain do not digest, like a hollow void without bottom, hence called Dong Xie. *Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* states: Dong Xie is dysentery without limit. The *Shui Gu Li Hou* cites this chapter's text for detailed discussion; reference is advised. Also seen in *Xiao Er Dong Xie Xia Li Hou*. Wang Ang's *Zhun Sheng* states: Can Xie, water and grain do not digest and exit intact; this is it. The *Shiji - Cang Gong Zhuan* mentions "Feng" (*Taiping Yulan* writes "Dong Feng"), which is this condition. Or, excessive diet damages the stomach and intestines, also causing undigested rice and grain. This is colloquially called water-grain diarrhea. Pathogenic factors lingering, likely referring to summer. Gao Yun: Pathogenic factors linger, becoming Dong Xie in summer.
Wind Malaria: *Qian Jin Fang* writes "Feng Nue" (Explanation provided in *Malaria Chapter*).
Autumn injury by dampness leads to upward reversal and cough: Zhang Yun: Damp-earth rules at the end of late summer, hence autumn injury by dampness. Autumn Qi connects to the Lung. Dampness stagnates and turns into heat, ascending to attack Lung Metal, hence Qi reverses causing cough. Briefly noted: *Suhui Ji* states: Dampness is the command of late summer, why speak of it in autumn? Generally, spring, summer, and winter each have three months, so their commands operate within their respective seasons. Late summer resides prosperously only in the sixth month. Although autumn has three months, the damp command of late summer often invades and exceeds into autumn. Hence it says "Autumn injury by dampness." (Autumn command is dryness, but the first three months of autumn are close to late summer; deficiency allows dampness to dominate, excess matches fire transformation, and balanced state does not harm people. This classic only mentions wind, heat, dampness, and cold as harming agents, not dryness.) Someone asked me: Why are there many descriptions of dryness diseases in the Seven Chapters of Five Movements and Six Qi? I said: The Seven Chapters of Five Movements and Six Qi and other chapters of *Suwen* are two different books authored by different people, with different intentions, and should not be mixed. Wang Bing believed the seven chapters were inserted into *Suwen* and were not original *Suwen* text. My current deduction follows the original intent of *Suwen* and should be viewed independently. Here, we should only discuss autumn onset. Dampness enters from below, hence manifests as cough in the Lung, termed upward reversal. The Lung is the master of all Qi. Now diseased, Qi does not circulate outward. Additionally, dampness stagnates in collaterals, hence limbs become flaccid and weak, or cold. The *Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun* mentions "Winter generates cough"; since it mentions passing the time, it differs significantly from this chapter's meaning. (Briefly noted: Andao's argument is extremely refined; highlighting the key points here, one should study the whole chapter carefully.)
Flaccidity and cold extremities (Wei Jue): Zhang Yun: The *Tai Yin Yang Ming Lun* states, "Those injured by dampness, the lower part receives it first." The preceding text says, "Due to dampness, large tendons become short and soft, small tendons become long and slack." Short and soft causes contracture; long and slack causes flaccidity. Thus, dampness below leads to flaccidity and cold extremities. Flaccidity mostly belongs to heat; cold extremities are due to cold.
Warm disease (Wen Bing): *Lun Ji Zhen Chi* writes "Dan Re" (feverish heat). *Suhui Ji* states: Cold is the command of winter. Winter cold infection occasionally does not manifest immediately. By spring, the Yang Qi within the body, although initially constrained by cold pathogen and unable to rise gradually, must still emerge according to the season. Hence it manifests as Warm disease. It also states: Spring Warm disease occurs because cold toxin invades human skin and muscles; Yang is constrained. By spring, heavenly and earthly Yang Qi emerges externally; the constrained Yang Qi within the person also cannot exit, hence the disease acts up. (Han Zhihe said: Winter cold constrains Yang; by spring, secondary infection triggers onset. I believe this only applies to Warm diseases with aversion to cold. Those without aversion to cold do not require secondary infection to manifest. Thus Zhang Zhongjing said: 'Taiyang disease with fever, thirst, and no aversion to cold is Warm disease.' This is correct.) Ma Yun: The *Re Lun* states, "All diseases contracting Shanghan and becoming Wen, before Summer Solstice are Bing Shu (Heat disease)." The *Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun* states, "Winter injury by cold leads to Wen disease in spring." The *Shanghan Lun* states, "Winter contraction of cold transforms into Wen disease in spring." Thus the meaning of Wen is clear. Yang Xuancao's explanation of Wen Bing in Difficulty 58 of *Nan Jing*, identifying it as epidemic pestilence Qi, is incorrect.
Liver Qi overflows: Ma Yun: Liver Qi overflows and Wood becomes excessive. Zhang Yun: Jin means overflow.
Spleen Qi perishes: Zhi Yun: The Liver has much fluid; when fluid overflows into the Liver, Spleen Qi perishes in its transportation function. Briefly noted: This is exactly Wang Bing's note.
Great bone Qi labor: Ma Yun: Refers to the high bone mentioned in the previous section. The *Yu Ji Zhen Zang Lun* also calls it "Great Bone." Wang Ang says: High bone, the bone protruding above the Mingmen acupoint in the waist. Zhang Yun: Severe fatigue and exhaustion.
Panting and fullness: *Han Shu - Shi Xian Zhuan*: "Worried and full, not eating." Annotation: Man is same as Men. Wang Bing's note: Causes heart stuffiness. Probably "Man" is read as "Men."
Stomach Qi becomes thick/congested: Briefly noted: Wang Bing's note: "Spleen Qi not moist, Stomach Qi strong and thick." This is likely Pi Yue (Spleen Constriction) syndrome. The *Shanghan Lun* states: "Fuyang pulse floating and choppy; floating indicates strong Stomach Qi; choppy indicates frequent urination. Floating and chopping struggle together, feces become hard, the Spleen is constricted. Hemp Seed Pill governs it." This is it. Zhang Yun: Spleen Qi not moist, thus Stomach Qi stagnates, hence called "becomes thick." Thick means distension and fullness. Already feels inadequate. Wang Ang says: Sour, salty, sweet, pungent describe harms, omitting benefits. Bitter describes benefits, omitting harms. Ancient texts do not adhere to a single style; one should not force interpretations. Therefore, interpreting "Stomach Qi thick" as beneficial is very erroneous.
Weakened and relaxed: Zhang Yun: Ju means damaged. Zhi Yun: Suppressed. Briefly noted: Wang Bing defines as moistening, which is likely incorrect.
Spirit and Essence suffer disaster: Xin Zheng Xiao notes: Yang is Yan (disaster). Ma Yun: Yang means half. The *Si Qi Tiao Shen Da Lun* has "Wei Yang Jue Mie" (not yet exhausted/extinguished); here it says Spirit can only reach half. Briefly noted: Both explanations are valid. Wang Bing defining as long-lasting is likely wrong. Also, excessive flavors cause disease, examples vary. Two mentions of Spleen Qi, two of Heart Qi. Liver, Kidney, Stomach Qi, each one mention. No mention of Lung Qi; reason unknown. Perhaps an error in the ancient text?
Cou Li (interstices): *Guang Ya*: Cou means gather. *Ji Zhong Zhou Shu*: "Surrounding central lands, considered the great gathering place of the world." Likely the place where primordial Qi gathers, hence called Cou. Because it is in the muscles, it also uses the flesh radical to write "Cou." *Wen Xin Diao Long*: "Cou Li without stagnation." Wu Kun's note on *Ju Tong Lun*: "Cou is sweat pore; Li is muscle grain." The *Nu Lun* states: "Sweat pores sparse, Cou Li open." Knowing that interpreting Cou solely as sweat pore is mistaken.
Bone and Qi are refined: Song edition writes "Gu Qi." Gao Yun: With harmonized five flavors, the Kidney-governed bones are upright, Liver-governed tendons are flexible, Lung-governed Qi flows, Heart-governed Blood flows smoothly, Spleen-governed Cou Li are dense. Truly thus,有形 (form-based) bones and intangible Qi both become refined. One can be said to strictly follow the Dao, let Sheng Qi connect with Heaven, and long possess the Mandate of Life.
