Quan Ying Lun states: Hematemesis (vomiting blood) is caused by the rebellion of Ying and Wei Qi. Ying Qi refers to Blood, while Wei Qi refers to Qi. When Ying and Wei coordinate with each other without deviating from the normal pathway, if one side becomes excessive, it leads to the reckless movement of Blood. It is like opening a channel for water; if the breach is on the east, it flows east; if on the west, it flows west. This is the Qi driving the Blood, and its momentum is thus. Chao Yuanfang stated: The reason for reckless bleeding is that Heat Qi is abundant while Blood is deficient. Heat pathogen invades the Blood; since Blood nature tends to flow and scatter when heated, it moves recklessly. When Qi rebels, Blood follows Qi upward, thus causing hematemesis. Alternatively, after overeating, the Spleen and Stomach become internally cold and fail to digest food. Suddenly vomiting the ingested food causes Qi and Blood to clash, thereby injuring the Lung and Stomach, also leading to hematemesis. If chronic coughing leads to Qi rebellion, accompanied by facial and ocular edema and coughing up blood, this is a deficiency-consumption syndrome.

Epistaxis (nosebleed) is caused by heat accumulation in the Five Zang organs. Blood flows with Qi, circulating freely through the Zang organs. If Cold and Heat are harmonized and do not deviate from the norm, there will be no stagnation or overflow. Blood coagulates when exposed to Cold and flows/scatters when exposed to Heat. When Heat pathogen attacks the Blood, Blood follows the movement of Qi and overflows from the nasal orifice. There are also cases due to Taiyang disease or plague affecting the Yang meridians, where sweat is not induced, Heat injures the Five Zang organs, and consequently, blood issues forth.

Hematochezia (blood in stool) is caused by heat accumulation and injury in the Large Intestine. Once the organ Qi is damaged, Wind pathogen naturally enters. Or, accumulated Heat, accumulated Cold, or Damp-Toxin may reside in the Spleen and Stomach, or malnutrition (Gan syndrome) may damage the Zang organs. Consequently, Cold and Heat intermingle, and Gan-Dampness interacts, causing the blood-moving Qi to remain inside, stagnating without a proper destination, seeping into the intestines, thus resulting in hematochezia. Abdominal distension with internal Cold Qi attacking and rushing can also cause hematochezia. Furthermore, Wind-Cold invading the Spleen and Stomach due to deficiency, or blood stasis in the intestines and stomach, or Damp-Toxin flowing downward resembling bean curd residue, or Gan injury to the Zang organs can also lead to blood in the stool. If Heat accumulates in the Upper Jiao (Heart and Lung) and transmits to the Large Intestine, it also causes hematochezia. After significant blood loss, Spleen weakness inevitably leads to thirst. Over time, Blood deficiency results in emaciated and yellowish skin and blackened hair loss.

Hematuria (blood in urine) occurs because the Heart governs Blood and pairs with the Small Intestine. Blood circulates throughout the meridians and Zang organs. If Heat gathers in the Bladder, Blood seeps into the bladder sac (Pao), thus causing blood to appear in the urine.
