Wind injury in Spring leads to Sund Xie (undigested food diarrhea) in Summer, known as Chang Pi (Intestinal Dysentery/Pus-Blood Disorder). Long-term wind pathogen causes Sund Xie. In Sund Xie, if the pulse is small and hands/feet are cold, it is difficult to cure; if the pulse is large and hands/feet are warm, it is easy to cure. The Yellow Emperor asked: What about Chang Pi with bloody stool? Qibo replied: If the body is hot, prognosis is poor (death); if the body temperature is normal, prognosis is good (survival). Asked: What about Chang Pi with white mucus discharge? Replied: If the pulse is deep, survival; if floating, death. Asked: What about Chang Pi with pus and blood discharge? Replied: If the pulse is suspended and severed (extreme abnormality), death; if slippery and large, survival. Asked: Regarding Chang Pi category, if the body is not hot and the pulse is not suspended/severed, what happens? Replied: Slippery and large pulses indicate survival; suspended and choppy pulses indicate death, predicting the time of death based on the affected Zang organ.
