（附注：黄肿、黄汗）
黄疸这一病症，都是由湿热邪气造成的。湿气如果不能发散排出，就会郁结蒸腾而产生热；热气如果不能宣通畅达，就会固结凝聚而产生湿。湿气得到热邪的帮助而变得更深重，热邪因为湿气的存在而更加炽盛。这两者互相助长、互相成就，时间越久就越严重。然而探究其湿热产生的根源，没有不是因为大醉大饱，以及在醉饱之后贪睡久卧，或者努力行房事而导致的。也有的是在醉饱之后入水洗涤，寒气收敛束缚，使腠理（皮肤毛孔）密闭，汗液无法排出，从而导致湿热相互感应，形成这种病。外不能通过汗液排出，内不能通过大便泻出，湿热熏蒸濡染流入皮肤，上达面部和眼睛，下至足背，中间波及手臂，前腹后背，都像涂了金子一样发黄。小便颜色红赤像姜黄一样，就像用盐或酱腌制东西会改变其颜色一样，是因为湿热导致身体变色。治疗的大法是：上半身黄得厉害，适宜用发汗的方法；下半身黄得厉害，适宜用利小便的方法，以分消湿气并兼用退热的药剂。但是又必须观察患者所损伤的食物种类，从而进行消化导滞，不仅仅是治疗湿热而已。黄疸分为五种：酒疸、黄疸（谷疸）、黄汗、谷疸、女劳疸，需要区分病因。病的源头起于湿热，想知道哪些是不治之症，如何辨别呢？回答说：黄疸变成黑色像烟尘一样的会死；小便像膏脂一样的会死；腹部胀满的会死；饮食极少的会死。如果眼睛逐渐变白，小便通畅延长的，病将要痊愈了。
五疸（五种黄疸）如果是实热证，脉象必定洪大且数；如果脉象微涩，症状属于虚弱。

(Note: Yellow Edema, Yellow Sweat)
Jaundice is a condition caused by damp-heat. When dampness cannot be diffused and discharged, it stagnates and steams to generate heat; when heat cannot be ventilated and circulated, it consolidates to generate dampness. Dampness becomes deeper with the assistance of heat, and heat becomes more intense due to the presence of dampness. The two mutually assist and complete each other, becoming more severe the longer they persist. However, investigating the origin of this damp-heat, it invariably arises from excessive drinking and overeating, followed by sleeping or lying down for long periods, or strenuous sexual intercourse. It may also result from bathing in water after drinking and eating excessively; the cold air constricts and binds, closing the couli (skin pores), preventing sweat from exiting, thereby causing damp-heat to interact and form this disease. Unable to release externally through sweat or internally through bowel movements, the damp-heat steams and permeates into the skin, reaching upwards to the face and eyes, downwards to the dorsum of the feet, and centrally affecting the arms, anterior abdomen, and posterior back. The entire body appears yellow like gold. The urine is red and dark like turmeric. Just as salting or pickling changes the color of food, the body changes color due to damp-heat. The general treatment principle is: if jaundice is more severe in the upper body, sweating methods should be used; if it is more severe in the lower body, diuretic methods should be employed to separate and eliminate dampness while simultaneously using heat-clearing agents. Furthermore, one must observe the specific food that caused the injury and digest it, rather than merely treating the damp-heat. Jaundice is divided into five types: Wine Jaundice, Grain Jaundice, Yellow Sweat, Grain Jaundice (Gu Dan), and Labor-induced Jaundice (Nu Lao Dan); their causes must be distinguished. The disease originates from damp-heat. To know which cases are incurable and how to identify them: death occurs if the jaundice turns black like smoke or dust; if the urine resembles paste; if abdominal distension occurs; or if food intake is extremely low. If the eyes gradually turn white and urination becomes prolonged and free, the disease will recede.
In cases of the Five Jaundices with excess-heat, the pulse must be surging and rapid. If the pulse is faint and choppy, the symptoms belong to deficiency and weakness.
