The teeth are the external manifestation of the essence of bones. Dryness now indicates heat within the bones. This interpretation is overly speculative. Furthermore, Shen stated that one should use acrid-cool herbs to release the exterior and sweet-cold herbs to clear the interior, similar to the Xiangru San (Elsholtzia Decoction) used by later generations. However, this is also incorrect.
Generally, for this syndrome, cooling herbs (such as Huanglian [Coptidis Rhizoma] and Shigao [Gypsum Fibrosum]), diuretic herbs (such as Wuling San [Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria]), or warming middle-jiao herbs (such as Dashun San [Great Harmony Decoction]) are all unsuitable. Only Xiangru (Elsholtiae Herba) is truly a supreme remedy for resolving summerheat.
Adding a single dose of Xiangru to moistening and tonifying formulas (such as Huang Tang or Shengmai San [Generate the Pulse Decoction]) might well be an excellent approach.
Taiyang Zhongre (Summerheat Stroke in Taiyang Channel) refers to Zhongshu (Heatstroke).
Note: This clause and the preceding one illustrate the distinction between deficiency and excess in Zhongshu (Heatstroke) and Zhongre (Summerheat), covering the fundamental principles of these syndromes. Xu annotated the preceding clause as follows: "This corresponds to Jiegu's concept of 'acquired from stillness,' termed Zhongshu (Heatstroke), which is a Yin syndrome." He annotated this clause as: "Acquired from movement, termed Zhongre (Summerheat), which is a Yang syndrome." This is erroneous. (Jiegu's "Zhongshu" actually refers to illness caused by cold injury during summer due to excessive cooling, which Zhang Jiebin named Yinshu (Yin Summerheat). Although both are called "summerheat," they are not caused by summerheat pathogen. Additionally, the "illness of summerheat" mentioned in *Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage) also refers to Shanghan (Cold Damage), merely named differently according to the season; it cannot be cited to annotate this classic.)
Furthermore, according to *Shan Hai Jing* (Classic of Mountains and Seas), there is a bird on Beixiao Mountain named HT; consuming it can cure Zhongshu (Heatstroke). In the *Zhuangzi*, Chapter "Ze Yang": "Those who are frozen borrow clothes from spring; those suffering from summerheat seek the cold wind of winter." Fang stated: "Zhongshu is injury by summerheat." The *Records of the Grand Historian* records Yu fanning himself; *Huainanzi* records King Wu shading people under trees and fanning them. These refer to this condition.
In Taiyang Zhongshi (Dampness Strike in Taiyang Channel), the body feels hot and heavy with pain, while the pulse is weak and faint.
Note: Zhao and Zhou have comprehensive discussions on Zhongshi (Dampness Strike), but they lack precision and are not recorded here.
Yun Qi Zi in *Shanghan Baoming Ji* (Preservation of Life Collection for Cold Damage) states: "In Taiyang Zhongshi (Dampness Strike), the body is hot and vexed. Sweat wants to emerge but does not. The patient desires to drink cold water. After pouring cold water, sweat still fails to emerge. Water moves within the skin, resulting in a weak pulse, indicating water retention at the exterior. One should induce sweating. Shengma Tang (Cimicifugae Decoction) is appropriate. Ingredients: Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) — each 1 liang. Coarsely crush the herbs. Take 1 liang per dose, decoct in 3 cups of water, and take orally."
[Additional Remarks] Zhang Zhongjing combined Jing (Stiffness/Spasm), Shi (Dampness), and Zhongshi (Dampness Strike) into one chapter, which holds profound significance. The climate of heaven consists of Wind, Cold, Summerheat, Dampness, and Dryness. When climatic conditions are abnormal and human constitution is deficient, they interact to cause disease. Among these, Wind and Cold harm humans the most, hence the *Shanghan Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage Disorders) was written to exhaust their principles. Other pathogens entering from the exterior are categorized in the *Jingui Yaolue* (Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Cabinet), and this chapter is part of that collection. Then why discuss Dampness and Dampness Strike but omit Dryness? It is because Dryness is the dominant qi of Autumn, yet it has not been seen to harm humans as severely as Wind, Cold, Summerheat, and Dampness; thus, the treatise does not cover it. (*Neijing* states "Autumn injury by Dampness" but not "Autumn injury by Dryness"; it also says "Dryness predominates leading to dryness," referring not to Autumn Dryness but to terrestrial dryness rather than celestial dryness. Later theories such as Dry Epidemic and Autumn Dryness Disease are mere speculations by outsiders and are not credible.) However, Jing (Stiffness) arises from internal dryness attracting external pathogens, though its pathological mechanism differs slightly from Wind and Cold. Therefore, combining it with Dampness and Dampness Strike further proves that Autumn Dryness does not independently cause disease. Moreover, the pulses, symptoms, and treatments for Jing (Stiffness), Shi (Dampness), and Zhongshi (Dampness Strike) are so meticulously detailed that it can be inferred this is likely Zhang Zhongjing's original text, rather than an abbreviated version by later editors.
