Ping An: This chapter appears in Volume 11, Chapter 40 "Fu Zhong Lun" (Treatise on Abdominal Disorders) of the *Su Wen* (Basic Questions), and also in Volume 7, First Middle Section of the *Jia Yi Jing* (Classified Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion).
The Yellow Emperor asked Qi Bo: Why do patients with Re Bing (Heat Disease) experience pain?
Qi Bo replied: Re Bing is characterized by Yang pulses; it arises from the hyperactive movement of the Three Yang meridians. If the Ren Ying pulse (pulse at the carotid artery) beats one time faster than the Cun Kou pulse (radial pulse), it indicates Shaoyang syndrome; two times faster indicates Taiyang syndrome; three times faster indicates Yangming syndrome. If Taiyang pathogenic factors enter the Yin aspect, pain occurs. If the pathology involves the head and abdomen, distension and headache result.
The Yellow Emperor said: Excellent. (Note: The Yangming meridian has the greatest quantity of Qi and Blood; thus, a Ren Ying pulse three times faster indicates disease. The Taiyang meridian is next in magnitude, so a pulse two times faster indicates disease. The Shaoyang meridian has the least, so a pulse one time faster indicates disease. Heat diseases are Yang patterns. Since the Taiyang meridian governs the exterior and the head, when a heat disease begins, the Taiyang meridian is affected first. After Taiyang is affected, the pathogen descends to affect the Yangming meridian, so Yangming is affected subsequently. After Yangming is affected, the pathogen flows to the terminal Shaoyang meridian, so Shaoyang becomes diseased. When Taiyang pathogen enters the Shaoyin meridian, Yang excess and Yin deficiency occur, causing headache. Yang excess and Yin deficiency cause abdominal distension.)
Ping An: In the *Jia Yi Jing*, the character "Zai" (at/in) follows "Yi Sheng," "Er Sheng," and "San Sheng." In the *Su Wen*, the characters "Zai Taiyang" are written as "Ru Yin Ye" (entering Yin). Xin Zhengjiao states: "The *Jia Yi Jing* lacks the three characters 'Ru Yin Ye'." The *Su Wen* and *Jia Yi Jing* read: "When Yang enters Yin, the disease manifests in the head and abdomen."
Ping An: This chapter appears in Volume 13, Chapter 47 "Qi Bing Lun" (Treatise on Rare Diseases) of the *Su Wen*, and also in Volume 11, Sixth Section of the *Jia Yi Jing*.
The Yellow Emperor said: There is a condition where the mouth tastes sweet. What is this disease called? How does it arise?
Qi Bo replied: This is the overflow of the essence of the Five Grains, named Pi Dan (Spleen Heat Disease).
When the Five Flavors enter the mouth, they are stored in the Stomach. The Spleen transports their clear Qi. Fluid retention in the Spleen causes sweetness in the mouth; this results from consuming rich and fatty foods. Such individuals must frequently consume sweet, delicious, and fatty foods, which generate internal heat. Sweetness causes fullness; thus, the Qi overflows upward, transforming into Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst Syndrome). Treatment should use Lan (Orchid/Pogostemon cablin), which removes stale and accumulated pathogenic factors.
(Note: The Five Qi refer to the Qi of the Five Grains. Fluid retention in the Spleen refers to the fluids of the Five Grains. Rich and fatty soups cause heat to accumulate internally; thus, the Spleen transforms saliva, which exits via the Lianquan acupoint and enters the mouth, named Pi Dan. Internal heat flares up and Qi overflows, transforming into Xiao Ke. Drinking Lan decoction can remove stale accumulated factors.)
Ping An: In the *Su Wen*, "Ming Wei He" is written as "Bing Ming Wei He"; in the *Jia Yi Jing*, it is "Bing Ming Yue He." In the *Su Wen*, "Qing Qi" is written as "Jing Qi"; in the *Jia Yi Jing*, it is "Jin Ye." "Ye Zai Pi" (Fluid in the Spleen) is written as "Jin Ye Zai Pi" in the *Su Wen* and *Jia Yi Jing*. In the *Su Wen* and *Jia Yi Jing*, "Fei Geng" is written as "Mei," and "Zhi" is written as "Fa." Xin Zhengjiao states: "The *Tai Su* writes 'Fa' as 'Zhi'." The *Su Wen* includes the characters "Fei Ye" after "Er Duo." In the *Su Wen* and *Jia Yi Jing*, the character "Zhong" precedes "Man," and the character "Zhuan" is not repeated. In the *Jia Yi Jing*, "Xiao Ke" is written as "Xiao Dan," with a note stating: "The *Su Wen* writes 'Xiao Ke'." The character "Lan" is not repeated in the *Su Wen* and *Jia Yi Jing*.
