醇酒之性，大热大毒，清香美味，既适于口，行气和血，亦宜于体，由是饮者不自觉其过于多也，不思肺属金，性
畏火，其体脆，其位高，为气之主，肾之母，木之夫。酒下咽膈，肺先受之。若是醇者，理宜冷冻饮料，过于肺入于胃，然
后渐温肺，先得温中之寒，可以补气，一益也；次得寒中之温，可以养胃，二益也；冷酒行迟，传化以渐，不可恣饮，
三益也。古人终日百拜，不过三爵，既无酒病，亦免酒祸。今余稽之于礼经则曰∶饮齐视冬时。饮齐，酒也。视，犹比
也。冬时，寒也。参之《内经》，则曰热因寒用。厥旨深矣！今则不然，罔顾受伤，只图取快。盖热饮有三乐存焉，膈滞
通快，喉舌辛美，盖行可多。不知酒性喜升，气必随之，痰郁于上，溺涩于下，肺受贼邪，金体必燥。恣饮寒凉，其热
内郁，肺气得热，必大伤耗。其始也病浅，或呕吐，或自汗，或疮痍，或鼻查，或自泄，或心脾痛，尚可发散而去之。
若其久也。为病深矣，为消，为渴，为内疸，为肺痿，为内痔，为鼓胀，为失明，或喘哮，为劳嗽，为癫痫，亦为难明
之病，倘非具眼，未易处治，可不谨乎？或曰∶人言一盏冷酒，须二盏血乃得行，酒不可冷冻饮料明矣。余曰∶此齐东之语
耳！今参之于经，证之以理，发之为规戒，子以为迂耶？
醇酒的性质，大热且有大毒。它清香美味，既适合口腹之欲，又能行气和血，对身体也有益处，因此饮酒者往往不知不觉就喝多了，也不思考肺属金，其性畏惧火邪，肺体脆嫩，位置最高，是气的主宰，肾之母，肝之夫（木之夫）。酒液咽下经过膈部时，肺首先受到熏蒸。如果是纯酿的好酒，按理应当冷冻后饮用，酒液经过肺进入胃中，然后逐渐变温以暖肺，先得到胃中的寒气，可以补气，这是第一益；接着得到寒凉中的温热，可以养胃，这是第二益；冷酒运行缓慢，消化吸收循序渐进，不可放纵豪饮，这是第三益。古人整天拜客饮酒，不过三杯，既没有酒病，也免除了酒祸。现在我查考礼经说：“饮酒的量要参照冬天的时节。”“饮齐”就是酒。“视”就是比照的意思。“冬时”就是寒冷。再参考《内经》，说“热因寒用”。其中的旨意非常深远！现在的人却不是这样，不顾及身体受伤，只图一时痛快。大概热饮有三点乐趣存在其中：胸膈滞塞通畅爽快，喉咙舌头辛辣美味，大概可以喝得更多。却不知道酒的性质喜欢上升，气必然随之而上，痰郁结在上部，小便涩滞在下方，肺受到贼邪侵害，金的体质必然干燥。放纵饮用寒凉之物，热气内郁，肺气受热，必然大大耗伤。起初病情浅表，或者呕吐，或者自汗，或者生疮疡，或者鼻出血，或者自发性腹泻，或者心脾疼痛，还可以用发散的方法去除病邪。如果时间久了，疾病就深入了，变成消渴，变成口渴，变成内疸，变成肺痿，变成内痔，变成鼓胀，变成失明，或者喘哮，变成劳嗽，变成癫痫，也都是难以明了的疾病，如果不是有见识的人，不容易治疗，能不谨慎吗？有人说：“人们说喝一杯冷酒，需要两杯血才能推动运行，所以酒不可以冷冻后饮用，这很明显了。”我说：“这是齐国东郊的荒诞之言罢了！现在我参照经典，验证于道理，发表为规劝戒律，您认为这是迂腐吗？”
The nature of pure wine is extremely hot and highly toxic. Its clear fragrance and delicious taste suit the palate, and its ability to regulate Qi and invigorate blood benefits the body; thus, drinkers often unconsciously overindulge without considering that the Lung belongs to Metal, fears Fire in its nature, has a fragile constitution, occupies the highest position, serves as the master of Qi, the mother of the Kidney, and the husband of Wood (Liver). When wine passes through the diaphragm, the Lung is affected first. If it is high-quality wine, logic dictates it should be consumed chilled. Passing through the Lung into the Stomach, it then gradually warms the Lung. First, obtaining the coldness from the middle Jiao can tonify Qi, which is one benefit; second, obtaining warmth from the cold can nourish the Stomach, which is another benefit; third, cold wine moves slowly, allowing digestion and transformation to proceed gradually, preventing reckless drinking, which is a third benefit. In ancient times, people drank only three cups during all-day banquets, avoiding both wine-induced illnesses and disasters. I have consulted the Ritual Classics, which state: "The quantity of drinking should correspond to the winter season." "Yin Qi" refers to wine. "Shi" means to compare or correspond. "Winter season" implies coldness. Consulting the *Neijing* (Classic of Internal Medicine), it states: "Use heat with cold administration." The purport is profound! However, nowadays people act otherwise, disregarding bodily injury and seeking only immediate pleasure. There are three pleasures in drinking hot wine: clearing chest stagnation brings relief, the throat and tongue enjoy a spicy flavor, and one tends to drink more. They fail to realize that wine's nature tends to ascend, carrying Qi with it; this causes phlegm to stagnate above and urinary difficulty below, subjecting the Lung to pathogenic factors and drying out the Metal constitution. Indulging in cold drinks causes internal heat retention; when Lung Qi is heated, it suffers significant depletion. Initially, the disease is superficial, manifesting as vomiting, spontaneous sweating, sores, epistaxis, spontaneous diarrhea, or Heart-Spleen pain, which can still be treated by dispersing methods. If prolonged, the disease becomes deep, turning into Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst), thirst, internal jaundice, Fei Wei (lung atrophy), internal hemorrhoids, Gu Zhang (drum-like distension), blindness, wheezing asthma, Lao Sou (consumptive cough), or epilepsy—conditions that are difficult to understand and treat unless one possesses insight. Can one not be cautious? Some say, "People claim that one cup of cold wine requires two cups of blood to circulate, proving wine should not be chilled." I reply, "This is merely absurd talk from the eastern suburbs of Qi! Now, referencing the classics and verifying with reason, I issue these regulations and warnings. Do you consider this pedantic?"
