Yellow Emperor asked, saying: The "Stitching Joint True Evil" chapter mentions "Qu Yi" (Removing Clothes), stating that it involves needling the branch collaterals of the joints. I wish to hear the details. Qibo replied, saying: The waist and spine are the key joints of the human body; the thighs are the basis for walking and running; the penis and testicles are the mechanisms within the body, indicators of Yin fluids, and pathways for the flow of Jin Ye (Body Fluids). Therefore, if dietary intake is not regulated, and emotions of joy and anger are not expressed at appropriate times, Jin Ye will flow inward and overflow downward into the testicles. This leads to the obstruction of the water passages, internal heat without rest, difficulty in bending and stretching, inability to walk or run, swelling with fluid accumulation (Ran Ran Shui), where the fluid neither rises nor falls. As selected by Shi Bu (a specific location/method), the form cannot be hidden, and trousers cannot cover it. This condition is named "Qu Yi".

The Yellow Emperor asked again: There is a case of Long Bi (Dysuria/Retention of Urine) where urination occurs dozens of times a day; this is due to deficiency. If the body feels hot like charcoal, the neck and chest feel blocked or rejected, the Renying pulse (Radial Artery at the Neck) is agitated and vigorous, accompanied by wheezing and reversed Qi, this is due to excess (In Su Wen, there is an additional phrase "Yang Qi is excessively abundant on the exterior"). If Yin Qi is deficient, the Taiyin pulse becomes thin as a hair; this is also a sign of deficiency. Where is the disease located? Qibo said: The disease is in the Taiyin, its excess is in the Stomach, and it significantly involves the Lung. The disease name is Jue (Reversal/Cold Extremities), which is a fatal condition and untreatable. This presents five excesses and two deficiencies.

The Yellow Emperor asked: What do you mean by five excesses and two deficiencies? Qibo said: The so-called five excesses refer to the excess of pathogenic Qi; the two deficiencies also refer to the deficiency caused by pathogenic Qi. Now, externally there are five excesses, and internally there are two deficiencies. This indicates that the disease is neither in the exterior nor the interior, which is a clear sign of death.
