黄疸病的发生，是由于饮酒和饮食过度，导致脏腑热邪极盛，水谷之气相互搏结，积聚在脾胃之中，又受到风湿之邪的侵袭，气机郁结阻滞而不得疏散，热气郁蒸所致。因此，患者进食后即刻感到饥饿，身体、面目、指甲、牙齿以及小便全部发黄，且想安静躺卧；或者身上血脉呈现红色或青色，这些症状都可能出现，必定伴有发冷发热，这些都是疸病。如果患病后出现口渴，说明病情难治；如果不口渴，则病情容易治愈。病发于阴分（里），患者必然呕吐；病发于阳分（表），必然先恶寒战栗随后发热。

Jaundice is caused by excessive consumption of alcohol and food, leading to extreme heat in the zang-fu organs. The mixture of water and grain accumulates in the spleen and stomach, and is further constrained by wind-dampness. This results in stagnation and obstruction, where heat qi becomes郁 (stagnant) and steams upward. Consequently, patients feel hungry immediately after eating; their body, face, eyes, nails, teeth, and urine all turn yellow; they desire to lie down quietly; or their blood vessels may appear red or blue. These symptoms are invariably accompanied by chills and fever, which characterize Dan disease (jaundice). If thirst develops, the condition is difficult to treat; if there is no thirst, it is easier to cure. When the disease originates in the Yin aspect (interior), vomiting will occur; when it originates in the Yang aspect (exterior), chills and trembling will precede the onset of fever.
