六气为病，风、热、湿、火、燥、寒，乃天之六气也。
风木厥阴，肝胆之气也。
诸暴强直，〔支〕痛 戾，里急筋缩，皆属于风。
注云∶暴，卒也，虐害也。强劲有力而不柔和也。直，筋劲强也。
〔注云〕∶支痛，支，持也，坚固支持，筋挛不柔而痛也。 ， 缩也，戾，乖
戾也，谓筋缩里急，乖戾失常而病也。然燥金主为紧敛、短缩、劲切，而风木为病，反
见燥金之化者，由亢则害，承乃制也。况风能湿而为燥也，筋缩者，燥之甚也，故谓风
甚皆兼于燥也。
热者，少阴君火之热，乃真心小肠之气也。
〔诸病喘呕吐酸，暴注下迫，转筋，小便混浊，腹胀大而鼓之有声如鼓，痈疽疡疹，
瘤气结核，吐下霍乱，瞀郁肿胀，鼻窒鼽衄，血溢血泄，淋 身热，恶寒战栗，惊惑悲
笑，谵妄，衄蔑血污，皆属于热。〕
注云∶喘，热则息数气粗而为喘也，故热则脉实而甚数，喘之象也。
注云∶〔酸者〕，肝木之味也。由火实制金，不能平木，则肝〔木〕自甚，
故为酸也。法宜湿药散之，亦〔犹〕解表之义也。使肠胃结滞开通，怫热散而
和之。若久喜酸而不已，不宜温之，宜以寒药下之，后以凉药调之，结散热去，则
气和〔也〕。
六气致病，风、热、湿、火、燥、寒，这是自然界的天之六气。
风木对应厥阴经，是肝胆之气。
各种突然发生的肢体强直、支撑性疼痛、筋脉拘急扭曲、腹部拘急和筋脉短缩，都归属于风邪。
注释说：暴，意为突然、猛烈伤害。强劲有力而不柔和。直，指筋脉强劲僵硬。
注释说：支痛，支，意为支撑，坚固地支持，因筋脉挛急不柔和而疼痛。缩，即收缩；戾，乖张违背，指筋脉短缩、腹部拘急，因乖张失常而发病。然而燥金主司紧敛、短缩、劲切，而风木致病，反而出现燥金的化象，这是因为亢盛则有害，有承制才能平衡。况且风能生湿进而转化为燥，筋脉短缩是燥邪严重的表现，所以说风邪严重时常兼夹燥邪。
热邪，是少阴君火的炎热，属于真心和小肠的气机。
[各种疾病如气喘、呕吐、吐酸水、急性腹泻伴肛门紧迫、肌肉痉挛、小便浑浊、腹部胀大且叩击有声如鼓、痈疽疮疡皮疹、肿瘤瘰疬结核、呕吐泄泻霍乱、神志昏蒙郁结肿胀、鼻塞流涕鼻出血、血液溢出或排泄、淋证身体发热、恶寒战栗、惊恐迷惑悲笑、胡言乱语、鼻血及污血，都归属于热邪。]
注释说：喘，因为热邪导致呼吸急促、气息粗重而喘息，所以热邪时脉象实而极快，这是喘息的征象。
注释说：这是火气炎上的征象，所以胃（膈）热严重时，就会发生呕吐。
注释说：酸味，是肝木的味道。由于火邪实证克制肺金，不能制约肝木，则肝木自盛，所以产生酸味。治疗法则适宜用具有湿润性质的药物来疏散它，这也类似于解表的意义。使肠胃的结滞得以开通，郁热消散从而调和。如果长期喜欢酸味且不止，不宜用温药，适宜用寒凉药物攻下，之后用清凉药物调理，待结滞散开、热邪去除，则气机调和。
Diseases caused by the Six Qi, namely Wind, Heat, Dampness, Fire, Dryness, and Cold, are the Six Qi of Heaven (Nature).
Wind-Wood corresponds to the Jueyin (Terminal Yin) channel, which is the Qi of the Liver and Gallbladder.
Various sudden occurrences of limb rigidity, supportive pain, tendon twisting and deviation, abdominal urgency, and tendon shortening all belong to Wind.
The annotation states: "Bao" (Sudden/Violent) means abrupt or severely harmful. It refers to being strong and powerful without softness. "Zhi" (Straight) refers to tendons being strong and stiff.
The annotation states: "Zhi tong" (Supportive pain), "Zhi" means to support, firmly holding up, causing pain due to tendon spasms that are not flexible. "Suo" means contraction; "Li" means deviant or contrary, referring to tendon shortening and abdominal urgency, where illness arises from deviation and loss of normal function. However, Metal-Dryness governs tightening, contraction, and sharp cutting, yet when Wind-Wood causes disease, it manifests the transformation of Metal-Dryness. This is because "excess leads to harm, and control follows." Moreover, Wind can generate Dampness and transform into Dryness; tendon shortening is a severe manifestation of Dryness, hence it is said that severe Wind often combines with Dryness.
Heat refers to the heat of Shaoyin (Lesser Yin) Sovereign Fire, which is the Qi of the Heart and Small Intestine.
[Various diseases such as panting, vomiting, regurgitation of sour fluid, acute diarrhea with tenesmus, muscle cramps, turbid urine, abdominal distension large and resonant upon percussion, carbuncles, sores, ulcers, rashes, tumors, scrofula, tuberculosis, vomiting and diarrhea cholera, mental confusion and depression with swelling, nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, epistaxis, hematemesis or hematochezia, strangury with body heat, aversion to cold and shivering, fright, confusion, sadness, laughter, delirium, nosebleeds, and bloody discharges all belong to Heat.]
The annotation states: Panting occurs because Heat causes rapid breathing and coarse breath, thus during Heat conditions, the pulse is full and extremely rapid, which is the image of panting.
The annotation states: This is the image of Fire Qi flaming upward; therefore, when Stomach (Diaphragm) Heat is severe, vomiting occurs.
The annotation states: Sourness is the flavor of Liver-Wood. Because excessive Fire controls Lung-Metal, failing to subdue Liver-Wood, Liver-Wood becomes hyperactive, thus producing sourness. The treatment principle should employ moistening herbs to dissipate it, which is also similar in meaning to releasing the exterior. This opens up stagnation in the intestines and stomach, disperses constrained Heat, and harmonizes. If one has a long-term preference for sour taste that does not cease, warming herbs should not be used; instead, cold herbs should be used to purge, followed by cooling herbs to regulate. Once stagnation is scattered and Heat is removed, Qi will be harmonized.
