According to *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases): The Lung governs Qi and corresponds externally to the skin and hair. When a person engages in physical exertion or labor, their Qi dissipates outwardly, causing the Couli (pores) to open. If one then exposes themselves to wind while seeking coolness, cold Qi suddenly invades the Lung, triggering coughing. This is termed "acute Qi cough" (Bao Qi Sou), characterized by severe coughing with little sputum. (From Volume 14)
