且夫中风者,有五不治也。开口、闭眼、撒屎、遗尿、喉中雷鸣,皆恶候也。且中风者
,为百病之长,至其变化,各不同焉。或中于脏,或中于腑,或痰或气,或怒或喜,逐其隙
而害成也。中于脏者,则令人不省人事,痰涎壅,喉中雷鸣,四肢瘫痪,不知疼痛,语言
謇涩,故难治也。中于腑者,则令人半身不遂,口眼 斜,知痒痛,能言语,形色不变,
故易治也。治之先审其症,而后刺之。其中五脏六腑形症各有名,先须察其源,而名其症,
根据标本刺之,无不效也。

Regarding wind-stroke (Zhong Feng), there are five conditions that are incurable. Opening the mouth, closing the eyes, defecation in bed, urinary incontinence, and roaring sounds in the throat are all ominous signs. Wind-stroke is considered the chief among diseases; its manifestations vary greatly. Pathogenic factors may invade the Zang organs or the Fu organs; etiology may involve phlegm or Qi stagnation, anger or joy, taking advantage of vulnerabilities to cause disease. When invading the Zang organs, it causes loss of consciousness, accumulation of phlegm and saliva, roaring sounds in the throat, paralysis of the four limbs, insensitivity to pain, and slurred speech; thus, it is difficult to treat. When invading the Fu organs, it causes hemiplegia, deviation of the mouth and eye, preservation of sensation to itching and pain, ability to speak, and unchanged complexion; thus, it is easier to treat. Treatment requires first examining the symptoms before needling. Each condition involving the five Zang and six Fu organs has specific names; one must first investigate the root cause and name the syndrome, then needle according to the principle of treating both the root and branch, ensuring efficacy.
