此篇相传谓为叔和述仲景金匮之文。虽远不可考。观其揭首之辞。信有之也。然既曰以为与
伤寒相似而致辨焉。则亦述所当述者。是故后人称之为仲景之徒云。
伤寒所致太阳痉湿 三种。宜应别论。以为与伤寒相似。故此见之。
痉。见太阳上编。 。音谒。下同。痉见下。素问诸痉项强。是也。湿。沾润不干也。天之
雨露。上湿也。地之水潦。下湿也。人之汗液。身中之湿也。凡着沾润。经久不干。皆能致病。
伤湿之谓也。 。伤暑也。史记羽扇 。淮南子武王荫 人于樾下。左拥而右扇之。是也。叔和
之意。盖谓三者皆风寒之变证。既成变证。则当别为立论。然自风寒变来。本属太阳。犹有风寒
涉似之疑。须当并为辨论。故揭己意而述之如下。
太阳病。发热。脉沉而细。名曰痉。
此揭痉之状。发热。太阳未除也。沉。寒也。细。湿也。中风伤寒。病犹在太阳。而脉变如此
者。则是重感寒湿而变痉。不可仍以中风伤寒称也。详见下。
太阳病。发汗太多。因致痉。
此承上条撤消变痉之由。千金曰。太阳中风。重感寒湿则变痉。然则发汗太多者。重感寒湿
而变痉之原因也。盖中风自汗。伤寒发汗。汗出过多。衣被必湿。湿胜寒生。过时不更。汗后新
虚。易于感受。湿渍寒侵。渗注关节。所以有痉之变也。
不然。则太阳病而发汗。安得别有所谓寒湿而可以为重感哉。
太阳病。发热。汗出。不恶寒者。名曰柔痉。
此以中风而致变言。汗出不恶寒。风伤卫也。柔。风性软缓也。
太阳病。发热。无汗。反恶寒者。名曰刚痉。
此以伤寒而致变言。无汗。反恶寒。寒伤荣也。刚。寒性劲急也。
病。身热。足寒。颈项强急。恶寒。时头热。面赤。目脉赤。独头面摇。卒口噤。背反张者。
痉病也。
卒。清勿切。噤。郡轸切。此以痉之具证言。身热头热。面赤。目脉赤。阳邪发于阳也。足寒。
阴邪逆于阴也。独头面摇者。风行阳而动于上也。卒。忽然也。噤。寒而口闭也。盖口者脾之窍。
胃为脾之合。而脉挟口。环唇。脾虚胃寒。故忽然唇口吻合。噤急而饮食不通也。背反张者。太
阳之脉挟背。故寒则筋急而拘挛。热则筋缓而纵弛也。然刚柔二痉。则各见证之一偏。惟风寒俱
有而致变者。则具见也。痉止此。详见痉书。
湿家之为病。一身尽疼。发热。身色如似熏黄。
一身尽疼者。人身之土。内则主脾胃。外则主肌肉。土恶湿。湿自外入。肌肉先伤也。发热。
湿郁而蒸也。熏黄者。土本黄色。湿则昏滞。故黧暗而不明也。
湿家病。身上疼痛。发热。面黄而喘。头痛。鼻塞而烦。其脉大。自能饮食。腹中和无病。病
在头中寒湿。故鼻塞。内药鼻中则愈。
塞。心勿切。内。音纳。此以上湿言。亦风湿也。身上疼痛。与上条互词。面黄。喘。烦。脉大者。
风为阳。而阳受之也。能饮食者。阳能化谷。所以胃和而里无病也。病在头以下。申上文之意。
寒以湿之性言。鼻气通于天。故邪独甚而专主治也。
湿家。其人但头汗出。背强。欲得被覆向火。若下之早。则哕。胸满。小便不利。舌上如苔
者。以丹田有热。胸中有寒。渴欲得水而不能饮。则口燥烦也。
强。上声。此以下湿言。亦寒湿也。但头汗出者。寒为阴。阴邪客于阴。阳上越而不通于下
也。背强欲得被覆向火者。太阳之脉挟背。背居北。最为畏寒。寒湿之阴邪。注经络。渗骨髓。
所以筋脉牵急。而恶寒甚也。哕。胸满者。凡在太阳下早皆然也。丹田。下焦也。胸中。上焦也。
热在下而寒在上。所以渴欲得水。反逆而不能饮。且又亡津液。所以口干燥而内作烦 也。
太阳病。关节疼痛而烦。脉沉而细者。此名湿痹之候。其人小便不利。大便反快。但当利其
小便。
此以湿之入里者言。关节疼痛者。寒湿之气。走注内渗。所以脉沉而细也。痹以疼痛言。小
便不利。大便反快者。湿即水。甚则横流。不遵故道。妄逆而暴乱也。利其小便者。导其遵故道
而行。禹之治功也。
病者一身尽疼。发热日晡所剧者。此名风湿。此病伤于汗出当风。或久伤取冷所致也。
发热。日晡所剧者。阳明主胃而属土。土主湿。所以热甚于阳明之王时也。然汗出当风而为
风湿。则是以身中之湿言。此其所以阳明王而热则剧。与久伤取冷。与夏月伤于冷水之意同。
问曰。风湿相搏。一身尽疼痛。法当汗出而解。值天阴雨不止。医云。此可发汗。汗之病不
愈者。何也。答曰。发
其汗。汗大出者。但风气去。湿气在。是故不愈也。若治风湿者。发其汗。但微微似欲汗出者。
风湿俱去也。
此承上条复设问答而喻治。阴雨不止。则湿不除。所以益当发汗也。然风湿本由汗出当风而
得。则汗之大出者。必反湿转加甚可知也。微微似欲汗出而不见出。则湿消而风散矣。此固发汗
之微机。后之动辄以大汗为言者。其去道奚啻寻常而已哉。
湿家下之。额上汗出。微喘。小便利者。死。若下利不止者。亦死。
额上汗出微喘者。阳亡于上也。小便利与下利不止者。阴脱于下也。然治湿当利其小便。而
以小便利主死。何也。误治而阴阳散亡也。湿止此。
太阳中热者。 是也。其人汗出恶寒。身热而渴也。
蒸热谓之暑。伤暑谓之 。汗出恶寒者。太阳表不固也。身热者。暑邪伤阳也。渴者。亡津
液而内燥也。然渴为内证。太阳主表而有渴。何也。炎暑之时。阳浮外越。人之津液本少。渴为
常事。况更汗出而重亡津液乎。且太阳温病已有渴。又况 乎。
太阳中 者。身热。疼重而脉微弱。此以夏月伤冷水。水行皮中所致也。
身热疼重。而曰夏月伤冷水。水行皮中所致者。土主肌肉而恶湿。水渗土而蒸发也。脉微弱
者。热则血干而气耗也。然夏日则饮水。故人之常事。而曰伤。何哉。良由暑迫。饮之过多。或
得之澡洗。暑反内入也。然则庸俗以当盛暑时濯流饮泉。而得身热疼重。遽谓为闭水伤寒者。水
其暑之讹。而伤寒则浮谣之谬也。
太阳中 者。发热。恶寒。身重而疼痛。其脉弦细而芤迟。小便已。洒洒然毛耸。手足逆冷。
小有劳身即热。口开。前板齿燥。若发汗。则恶寒甚。加温针。则发热甚。数下之。则淋甚。
数。音速。发热。恶寒。身重而疼痛。总上文具证而言。下乃申其详而致戒也。弦细芤迟。
亦详微弱之意。小便已。洒洒然毛耸者。阴虚而寒内作也。手足逆冷者。阳热内陷也。小有劳身
即热者。阳虚气怯。不胜力任之甚也。口开者热甚也。故反则噤是也。前板齿燥者。阳明热甚而

也。言三法皆不可也。然则治之奈何。金匮治 以白虎加人参汤。白虎有啸则生风之能。荐凉解
秋之义。人参有益阳补虚之用。生津止渴之功。是故通寒暑而妙应。神矣哉。所谓方而世为万病
祖者。此之谓也。
这一篇相传被认为是王叔和叙述张仲景《金匮要略》中的文字。虽然年代久远难以考证，但看它开篇的言辞，确实有这种说法。既然说它与伤寒相似而加以辨析，那么这也是叙述应当叙述的内容。所以后人称它为张仲景的门徒所作。
由伤寒引起的太阳经痉病、湿病、暍（中暑）三种病症，应该单独论述，因为它们与伤寒相似，所以在此出现。
痉病，见《伤寒论》太阳篇上卷。“痉”音谒，下文相同。痉病见下卷。《素问》中提到的各种痉病项背强直，就是这类病。湿，指沾润不干的状态。天上的雨露，是上部的湿；地上的积水，是下部的湿；人体的汗液，是身体内部的湿。凡是沾染湿润，经久不干，都能致病，这就是伤湿的意思。“暍”（yē），即伤暑。《史记》记载项羽用扇子扇人，《淮南子》记载武王在树荫下让人左拥右扇，说的就是这个意思。王叔和的意思大概是认为这三种病都是风寒的变证，既然成为变证，就应当另外立论。然而它们从风寒变化而来，原本属于太阳经，仍然有风寒涉似（类似）的疑惑，必须合并进行辨析讨论，所以揭示自己的观点并叙述如下。
太阳病，发热，脉沉而细，称为痉病。
这是揭示痉病的症状。发热，说明太阳表证未解。沉脉主寒，细脉主湿。中风或伤寒，病邪仍在太阳经，但脉象变成这样，这是因为再次感受寒湿而变为痉病，不能再简单地称为中风或伤寒了。详见下文。
太阳病，发汗过多，因而导致痉病。
这是承接上一条，撤销关于变为痉病的原因的解释。《千金方》说：太阳中风，再次感受寒湿就会变为痉病。那么发汗过多，就是再次感受寒湿而变为痉病的原因。大概中风自汗，伤寒发汗，出汗过多，衣被必然潮湿，湿气胜则寒气生，过时不更换，汗后正气新虚，容易感受外邪。湿邪浸渍，寒邪侵袭，渗入关节，所以有变为痉病的情况。
否则，太阳病发汗，怎么会另外有所谓的寒湿可以作为再次感受的呢？
太阳病，发热，汗出，不恶寒，称为柔痉。
这是以中风导致变化的角度来论述。汗出且不恶寒，是风邪伤了卫气。柔，指风性软缓。
太阳病，发热，无汗，反而恶寒，称为刚痉。
这是以伤寒导致变化的角度来论述。无汗且反恶寒，是寒邪伤了营血。刚，指寒性劲急。
患病者，身体发热，脚冷，颈项强直拘急，恶寒，有时头部发热，面色红赤，眼结膜充血，只有头面部摇动，突然牙关紧闭，角弓反张的，是痉病。
“卒”读清勿切，“噤”读郡轸切。这是详细陈述痉病的症状。身体热、头热、面赤、眼结膜红，是阳邪发于阳分。脚冷，是阴邪逆于阴分。只有头面部摇动，是因为风气行于阳分而动于上部。“卒”，忽然也。“噤”，因寒而口闭。口是脾的窍，胃是脾的合脏，经脉环绕口唇，脾虚胃寒，所以忽然嘴唇闭合，牙关紧急，饮食不通。角弓反张，是因为太阳经脉夹脊背而行，所以寒则筋脉拘急挛缩，热则筋脉松弛纵缓。然而刚痉和柔痉，只是见证的一个方面，只有风寒俱有而导致变化的，才会全部见到这些症状。痉病论述到此结束，详见《痉书》。
患有湿病的人，全身疼痛，发热，身体颜色像熏黄一样。
全身疼痛，是因为人身之土，内主脾胃，外主肌肉。土恶湿，湿从外入，肌肉先受伤。发热，是湿邪郁滞而蒸腾。熏黄，是因为土本黄色，湿邪使其昏滞，所以颜色黧暗而不明亮。
湿病患者，身上疼痛，发热，面黄而气喘，头痛，鼻塞且烦躁，脉象大，能正常饮食，腹部平和无病。病位在头部受寒湿侵袭，所以鼻塞，将药物纳入鼻中即可痊愈。
“塞”读心勿切，“内”通“纳”。这是以上部湿邪而言，也是风湿病。身上疼痛，与上一条互为补充。面黄、气喘、烦躁、脉大，是因为风为阳邪，阳经受邪。能饮食，是因为阳气能化谷，所以胃气和调而里无病。病位在头部以下，申述上文的意思。寒是从湿的性质来说的。鼻气通于天，所以邪气独盛而专门主治头部。
湿病患者，只有头部出汗，背部强直，想要盖被子靠近火源。如果过早使用下法，就会出现呃逆，胸满，小便不利，舌苔如苔状。这是因为丹田（下焦）有热，胸中（上焦）有寒，口渴想喝水却不能喝，所以口燥烦闷。
“强”读上声。这是以下部湿邪而言，也是寒湿病。只有头部出汗，是因为寒为阴邪，阴邪客居阴分，阳气上浮而不能通达于下。背部强直想要盖被子靠近火源，是因为太阳经脉夹脊背，背部居北，最畏寒冷。寒湿阴邪，注于经络，渗入骨髓，所以筋脉牵拉拘急，非常怕冷。呃逆、胸满，凡是太阳病误用下法都会如此。丹田指下焦，胸中指上焦。热在下而寒在上，所以口渴想喝水，反而逆阻不能喝，而且又耗伤津液，所以口干燥而内部产生烦闷。
太阳病，关节疼痛且烦躁，脉沉而细的，这叫做湿痹的候象。其人小便不利，大便反而通畅快利，只应当通利小便。
这是以湿邪入里的情况而言。关节疼痛，是寒湿之气走窜渗透，所以脉沉而细。痹指疼痛。小便不利，大便反而快利，是因为湿即是水，严重时横流，不遵循常道，妄逆而暴乱。通利小便，是引导其遵循常道而行，就像大禹治水一样。
患病者全身疼痛，发热在傍晚加重的，这叫做风湿。此病是由于出汗时当风，或久处寒冷环境所致。
发热在傍晚加重，是因为阳明主胃而属土，土主湿，所以在阳明旺的时候热势更重。然而出汗当风而成风湿，这是以身中之湿而言。这就是为什么阳明旺时热势加剧，与久处寒冷、夏天伤于冷水的意思相同。
问曰：风湿相搏，全身疼痛，按理应发汗而解。正值阴雨连绵不止，医生说可以发汗，发汗后病没好，为什么呢？答曰：发汗，如果汗出太多，只是风气去了，湿气还在，所以不好。如果治疗风湿，发汗只要微微似欲出汗的样子，风湿就能一起去除。
这是承接上一条再次设问答以比喻治法。阴雨不止，则湿邪不去，所以更应当发汗。然而风湿本来是由出汗当风引起的，那么汗出太多的，必然反而使湿邪加重可知。微微似欲出汗而不见大汗，则湿消而风散矣。这确实是发汗的微妙机理，后世动辄说大汗的，离正道何止寻常距离啊。
湿病患者误用下法，额头出汗，微喘，小便通利的，死。如果腹泻不止的，也死。
额头出汗微喘，是阳气亡于上。小便通利与腹泻不止，是阴气脱于下。然而治湿应当利小便，而以小便通利为主却主死，为什么呢？因为误治导致阴阳散亡。湿病论述到此结束。
太阳中热者，就是暍病。其人汗出恶寒，身热而口渴。
蒸热称为暑，伤暑称为暍。汗出恶寒，是太阳表气不固。身热，是暑邪伤阳。口渴，是耗伤津液而内部干燥。然而口渴是内证，太阳主表而有口渴，为什么呢？炎热暑天，阳气浮越于外，人的津液本来就少，口渴是常事，何况再出汗而重亡津液呢？况且太阳温病已有口渴，更何况是暍病呢？
太阳中暍者，身体发热，疼痛沉重而脉微弱。这是夏天伤于冷水，水气行于皮中所致。
身体发热疼痛沉重，说是夏天伤于冷水，水气行于皮中所致，是因为土主肌肉而恶湿，水渗入土而蒸发。脉微弱，是因为热则血干而气耗。然而夏天饮水，本是人之常事，为什么说伤呢？良由暑热逼迫，饮水过多，或者洗澡洗头，暑邪反而内入。那么庸俗之人认为在盛夏时濯洗流水饮用泉水，而得身体发热疼痛沉重，就称之为闭水伤寒，这是把暑字讹传为水，而伤寒则是浮夸谣言的错误。
太阳中暍者，发热，恶寒，身体沉重而疼痛，脉弦细而芤迟。小便结束后，洒洒然毛发耸立，手足逆冷。稍微劳动身体即发热，张口呼吸，前板齿干燥。如果发汗，则恶寒更甚；加用温针，则发热更甚；多次使用下法，则淋证更甚。
“数”读速。发热、恶寒、身体沉重而疼痛，总括上述症状而言，下面乃申述详情并予以告诫。弦细芤迟，也是详述微弱之意。小便结束后，洒洒然毛发耸立，是阴虚而寒内生。手足逆冷，是阳热内陷。稍微劳动身体即发热，是阳虚气怯，不胜力任之甚。张口呼吸，是热甚。所以反过来就是牙关紧闭。前板齿干燥，是阳明热甚而津液干枯。恶寒甚，是因为表虚。发热甚，是因为扰动阳气而损伤阴液。淋甚，是因为损伤阴液而津液枯竭。说这三种方法都不可用。那么怎么治疗呢？《金匮要略》治疗暍病用白虎加人参汤。白虎有啸则生风的能，荐凉解秋的意义。人参有益阳补虚的作用，生津止渴的功效。所以能通寒暑而妙应，神妙啊。所谓方剂是世间万病之祖，说的就是这个。
This chapter is traditionally believed to be text from Zhang Zhongjing's *Jingui Yaolue* narrated by Wang Shuhe. Although it is too distant in time to verify, observing the opening remarks confirms this belief. Since it states that these conditions are similar to Shanghan (Cold Damage) and thus differentiated, it indeed narrates what should be narrated. Therefore, later generations referred to it as being authored by a disciple of Zhang Zhongjing.
The three types of diseases caused by Shanghan affecting the Taiyang channel—Jing disease (Spasm), Shi disease (Dampness), and Ye disease (Heatstroke)—should be discussed separately because they resemble Shanghan, hence their appearance here.
Jing disease is described in the upper volume of the Taiyang chapter. "Jing" is pronounced *ye*, same as below. Jing disease is seen in the lower volume. The various jing diseases with neck stiffness mentioned in *Suwen* refer to this. Shi (Dampness) refers to moisture that does not dry. Rain and dew from heaven constitute upper dampness; water accumulation on earth constitutes lower dampness; sweat from the human body constitutes internal dampness. Anything that becomes moist and remains undried for a long time can cause disease; this is called injury by dampness. "Ye" (*yē*) refers to injury by summerheat. The *Shiji* records Yu Fan fanning people, and *Huainanzi* records King Wu shading people under trees, fanning them left and right; this refers to such practices. Wang Shuhe's intention was likely that these three conditions are all transformed patterns of Wind-Cold. Once transformed patterns arise, separate discussions are warranted. However, since they originate from Wind-Cold and belong originally to the Taiyang channel, there remains doubt regarding their similarity to Wind-Cold, necessitating combined differentiation and discussion. Thus, his own views are revealed and narrated as follows.
Taiyang disease, with fever, deep and fine pulse, is named Jing disease.
This reveals the manifestation of Jing disease. Fever indicates the Taiyang exterior pattern has not resolved. A deep pulse indicates Cold; a fine pulse indicates Dampness. In Wind-stroke or Shanghan, if the pathogen remains in the Taiyang channel but the pulse changes thus, it is due to secondary contraction of Cold-Damp leading to Jing disease, and cannot simply be called Wind-stroke or Shanghan anymore. See details below.
Taiyang disease, resulting from excessive sweating, leads to Jing disease.
This continues the previous clause to explain the cause of transformation into Jing disease. *Qianjin Fang* states: Taiyang Wind-stroke, when secondarily affected by Cold-Damp, transforms into Jing disease. Thus, excessive sweating is the cause of secondary Cold-Damp contraction leading to Jing disease. Generally, Wind-stroke involves spontaneous sweating, Shanghan involves induced sweating. Excessive sweating makes clothing and bedding wet; excess dampness generates cold. If not changed over time, after sweating, the new deficiency makes one susceptible to external pathogens. Dampness infiltrates and Cold invades, seeping into joints, thus causing transformation into Jing disease.
Otherwise, how could Taiyang disease treated with sweating involve another so-called Cold-Damp as a secondary contraction?
Taiyang disease, with fever, sweating, and aversion to cold absent, is named Rou-Jing (Soft Spasm).
This discusses change caused by Wind-stroke. Sweating without aversion to cold indicates Wind injuring the Wei (Defensive) Qi. "Rou" (Soft) refers to the soft and slack nature of Wind.
Taiyang disease, with fever, no sweating, and contrary aversion to cold, is named Gang-Jing (Hard Spasm).
This discusses change caused by Shanghan. No sweating and contrary aversion to cold indicate Cold injuring the Ying (Nutritive) Blood. "Gang" (Hard) refers to the stiff and urgent nature of Cold.
In patients, with body heat, cold feet, neck and back stiffness and rigidity, aversion to cold, occasional head heat, red face, red eye vessels, only head and face shaking, sudden lockjaw, and opisthotonos, this is Jing disease.
"Cu" is pronounced *qingwu qie*; "Jin" is pronounced *junzhen qie*. This details the full symptoms of Jing disease. Body heat, head heat, red face, red eye vessels indicate Yang pathogen manifesting in Yang aspects. Cold feet indicate Yin pathogen counterflowing in Yin aspects. Only head and face shaking occurs because Wind moves in Yang and acts upward. "Cu" means suddenly. "Jin" means mouth closed due to Cold. The mouth is the orifice of the Spleen; the Stomach is the interior-exterior pair of the Spleen, and meridians surround the lips. Spleen deficiency and Stomach Cold cause sudden lip closure, jaw urgency, and inability to eat or drink. Opisthotonos occurs because the Taiyang meridian runs along the back; thus, Cold causes tendon stiffness and spasms, while Heat causes tendon relaxation and flaccidity. However, Gang-Jing and Rou-Jing each present only one aspect of the syndrome. Only when both Wind and Cold are present causing transformation do all these symptoms appear fully. Jing disease discussion ends here; see *Jing Shu* for details.
Patients with Shi disease suffer from whole-body pain, fever, and skin color resembling smoked yellow.
Whole-body pain occurs because Earth governs the Spleen and Stomach internally and muscles externally. Earth dislikes Dampness; when Dampness enters from outside, muscles are injured first. Fever results from Dampness stagnation and steaming. Smoked yellow occurs because Earth is naturally yellow; Dampness causes dullness and turbidity, making the complexion dark and obscure.
Shi disease patients experience body pain, fever, yellow face, wheezing, headache, nasal congestion with irritability, and a large pulse. They can eat normally, and the abdomen is harmonious with no illness. The pathology lies in Cold-Damp affecting the head, causing nasal congestion; inserting medicine into the nose will cure it.
"Sai" is pronounced *xinwu qie*; "Nei" is pronounced *na*. This discusses upper Jiao Dampness, also Wind-Damp. Body pain complements the previous clause. Yellow face, wheezing, irritability, and large pulse occur because Wind is Yang pathogen affecting Yang channels. Ability to eat indicates Yang can transform grain, so Stomach Qi is harmonious and interior is healthy. Pathology is below the head, elaborating on the previous point. Cold is described by the nature of Dampness. Nasal qi connects to Heaven, so pathogenic factors are particularly severe and require specific treatment of the head.
Shi disease patients exhibit only head sweating, back stiffness, and desire to cover themselves with blankets near fire. If purgatives are used prematurely, hiccups, chest fullness, difficult urination, and tongue coating resembling moss will occur. This is because Heat resides in the Dantian (Lower Jiao) while Cold resides in the Chest (Upper Jiao). Thirst for water but inability to drink leads to dry mouth and irritability.
"Qiang" is pronounced *shang sheng*. This discusses lower Jiao Dampness, also Cold-Damp. Head-only sweating occurs because Cold is Yin pathogen lodging in Yin, causing Yang to float upward without communicating downward. Back stiffness and desire for warmth occur because the Taiyang meridian runs along the back; the back faces North and fears Cold most. Cold-Damp Yin pathogen penetrates meridians and marrow, causing tendon and vessel tension and severe aversion to cold. Hiccups and chest fullness result from premature purgation in Taiyang disease. Dantian refers to Lower Jiao; Chest refers to Upper Jiao. Heat below and Cold above cause thirst for water but reverse flow preventing drinking, plus fluid depletion, leading to dry mouth and internal irritability.
Taiyang disease with joint pain and irritability, deep and fine pulse, is named Shi-Bi (Damp Bi) syndrome. Patients have difficult urination and loose stools. Treatment should focus on promoting urination.
This discusses Dampness entering the interior. Joint pain results from Cold-Damp Qi wandering and penetrating inward, causing deep and fine pulses. Bi refers to pain. Difficult urination and loose stools occur because Dampness is Water; when excessive, it flows horizontally, deviating from normal pathways, acting recklessly. Promoting urination guides it back to normal pathways, akin to Yu the Great controlling floods.
Patients with whole-body pain and fever worsening at dusk are named Feng-Shi (Wind-Damp). This disease results from sweating exposed to wind or prolonged exposure to cold.
Fever worsening at dusk occurs because Yangming governs the Stomach and belongs to Earth, which governs Dampness. Thus, heat intensifies during Yangming's prosperous time. However, Wind-Damp from sweating exposed to wind relates to internal Dampness. This explains why heat worsens when Yangming is prosperous, consistent with prolonged cold exposure or summer injury from cold water.
Question: When Wind and Damp contend, causing whole-body pain, perspiration should resolve it. Why did perspiration fail when rain continued incessantly? Answer: Profuse sweating expels only Wind, leaving Damp behind, hence failure. To treat Wind-Damp, induce slight perspiration ("slightly desiring sweat"); then both Wind and Damp are expelled.
This continues the previous clause with Q&A to illustrate treatment. Incessant rain prevents Damp removal, necessitating perspiration. However, Wind-Damp originates from sweating exposed to wind; profuse sweating would exacerbate Damp. Slight perspiration eliminates Damp and disperses Wind. This is the subtle mechanism of perspiration; those advocating profuse sweating deviate greatly from the Dao.
Purgation in Shi disease patients causing forehead sweating, slight wheezing, and free urination leads to death. If diarrhea persists, it also leads to death.
Forehead sweating and wheezing indicate Yang collapse upward. Free urination or persistent diarrhea indicates Yin exhaustion downward. Treating Damp requires promoting urination, yet free urination signifies death here due to mismanagement causing Yin-Yang dispersion. Shi disease discussion ends.
Taiyang Heatstroke (Ye) involves sweating, aversion to cold, body heat, and thirst.
Steaming heat is called Summerheat; injury by Summerheat is called Ye. Sweating and aversion to cold indicate insecure Taiyang exterior. Body heat indicates Summerheat injuring Yang. Thirst indicates fluid depletion and internal dryness. Thirst is an interior sign, yet Taiyang is exterior; why thirst? During hot summers, Yang floats outward, fluids are scarce, and thirst is common. Especially with sweating causing further fluid loss. Moreover, Taiyang Warm Disease already presents thirst, let alone Ye disease.
Taiyang Ye disease presents body heat, heavy pain, and weak pulse. This results from summer cold water injury, with water qi circulating in the skin.
Body heat and heavy pain from summer cold water injury relate to Earth governing muscles and disliking Dampness; water permeates Earth and evaporates. Weak pulse indicates heat drying blood and consuming Qi. Drinking water in summer is normal, yet termed "injury"? Due to oppressive heat, excessive drinking, or bathing/washing, Summerheat pathogen may enter internally. Vulgar beliefs attributing summer heat and heavy pain from swimming/drinking cold spring water to "Closed Water Shanghan" are errors confusing "Summerheat" with "Water" and spreading false rumors about Shanghan.
Taiyang Ye disease presents fever, aversion to cold, heaviness and pain, string-taut thin hollow slow pulse. After urination, chills with hair standing erect, cold extremities. Slight exertion causes body heat, open mouth, and dry anterior teeth. Perspiration worsens aversion to cold; moxibustion worsens fever; repeated purgation worsens strangury.
"Shuo" is pronounced *su*. Fever, aversion to cold, heaviness, and pain summarize previous symptoms; the following details warnings. String-taut, thin, hollow, slow pulses elaborate on weak meanings. Chills after urination indicate Yin deficiency generating internal Cold. Cold extremities indicate internal sinking of Yang Heat. Exertion-induced heat indicates Yang deficiency and Qi timidity, unable to bear effort. Open mouth indicates severe Heat (contrary to lockjaw). Dry anterior teeth indicate Yangming Heat exhausting fluids. Worsened aversion to cold indicates exterior deficiency. Worsened fever indicates disturbing Yang and damaging Yin. Worsened strangury indicates damaging Yin and exhausting fluids. These three methods are contraindicated. How to treat? *Jingui Yaolue* treats Ye with Baihu Jia Renshen Tang (White Tiger Plus Ginseng Decoction). Baihu has the ability to generate wind upon roaring, symbolizing cooling autumn air. Renshen benefits Yang, tonifies deficiency, generates fluids, and stops thirst. Thus, it harmonizes Cold and Heat miraculously. Truly divine! As said, formulas are ancestors of treating myriad diseases; this is what is meant.
