辩证
色红而高肿、按之而即痛者,为阳;色白而平板、按之而不痛者,为阴。色浮淡而根脚
模糊为虚,色沉着而根盘清正为实。色淡白青而板者,为寒;色深红紫而痛者,为热。审而治之,斯为得矣。
治诀
补则死,攻则亡,调和六腑最为良。
治法
凡初起,但用攻发,消去即了,不必补、托。若将作脓,方可内托。

辨证
颜色红且高肿、按压时立即疼痛的,属于阳证;颜色白且平坦、按压时不痛的,属于阴证。颜色浮浅淡白且根部模糊的是虚证,颜色深沉且根基端正清晰的是实证。颜色淡白青紫且板滞的是寒证;颜色深红紫且疼痛的是热证。仔细审察后进行治疗,这才是得当的方法。
治诀
盲目进补会导致死亡,一味攻伐也会致死,调和六腑才是最好的方法。
治法
凡是疾病初起,只需使用攻散发散的方法,使邪气消散即可痊愈,不需要使用补益或托毒外出的疗法。如果即将化脓,才可以采用内托法。

Diagnosis and Differentiation
If the color is red, elevated, and swollen, and pressing it causes immediate pain, it is a Yang syndrome. If the color is white, flat, and pressing it causes no pain, it is a Yin syndrome. If the color is floating, pale, and the root is blurred, it is a deficiency syndrome; if the color is deep and the base is clear and upright, it is an excess syndrome. If the color is pale, white, cyanotic, and stiff, it is a Cold syndrome; if the color is deep red-purple and painful, it is a Heat syndrome. Carefully examining and treating accordingly is the correct approach.
Treatment Principles
Blind supplementation leads to death, while aggressive attack leads to demise; harmonizing the Six Fu Organs (Six Bowels) is the best method.
Treatment Methods
When the disease first appears, only use attacking and dispersing methods to eliminate the pathogen, without needing supplementation or pushing out toxins. Only when suppuration is imminent should internal pushing-out methods be used.
Manifestations
Hidden Yin Syndrome (externally soft but internally hard, painful only upon pressing), Hidden Yang Syndrome (externally hard but internally soft, painful immediately upon pressing), Half-Yin Half-Yang Syndrome (sometimes externally soft and internally hard with immediate pain upon pressing, sometimes internally soft and externally hard but painless upon pressing, sometimes form belongs to Yang while color belongs to Yin, or color belongs to Yang while form belongs to Yin; these are all cases of chaotic Yin and Yang where treatment has no clear direction). The method should harmonize the Zang-Fu Organs and regulate Yin and Yang, using Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Zhi Gancao) as the sovereign herb. The secret transmission sovereign formula, communicating with spirit (assess the severity of the syndrome to determine the dosage size. Do not mistakenly administer, lest you bring disaster upon yourself).
