于是得以治疗;(“平”,就是静的意思。“秘”,就是固守的意思。人生赖以生存的,只有精与神。精由阴气滋生,神随阳气变化,所以阴气平和、阳气固秘,那么精神和顺而安定。)阴阳分离决裂,精气就会断绝。(“决”、“绝”意思相同。有阳无阴则精竭,有阴无阳则气绝。两者相互分离决裂,不是生病就是死亡,这正说明了阴阳不可偏废的道理。)因为遭受风露侵袭,于是产生寒热症状。(上文论述风疟、风邪客于体内扰乱正气,都没有完全阐明风的含义,所以这里再次阐述并涉及四季的邪气。因暴露于风中,寒邪从外部侵入,阳气在内部抗拒,阴阳相互迫近冲突,所以产生寒热症状。)春季受伤于风邪,邪气滞留不去,于是发生洞泄(严重腹泻);(春季受伤于风邪,是木邪亢盛,滞留时间既久,就会克制脾土,所以发生洞泄。)夏季受伤于暑邪,秋季发生疟疾;(夏季受伤于暑邪,如果不立即发病而……)
Then treatment can be effective; ("Ping" [flat/peaceful] means quiet. "Mi" [secret/tight] means firm or consolidated. What human life relies upon is only Jing [Essence] and Shen [Spirit]. Jing is generated by Yin, and Shen transforms through Yang. Therefore, when Yin is peaceful and Yang is consolidated, the Spirit and Essence are regulated.) If Yin and Yang separate and break apart, Jing Qi [Essence and Vital Energy] will cease. ("Jue" [decide/sever] and "Jue" [cut off/extinguish] mean the same. Having Yang without Yin leads to the exhaustion of Jing; having Yin without Yang leads to the exhaustion of Qi. The mutual separation and rupture of the two implies either illness or death, which precisely demonstrates that Yin and Yang cannot be neglected.) Due to exposure to wind, chills and fever arise. (The preceding text discussed Wind Malaria [Feng Nüe] and Wind pathogen lodging to disrupt Zheng Qi [Upright Energy], but did not fully elucidate the nature of Wind. Thus, it reiterates this point and extends to the pathogens of the four seasons. Being exposed to wind allows Cold pathogen to invade externally while Yang Qi resists internally; Yin and Yang press against each other in conflict, thus generating chills and fever.) Injury by Wind in Spring, with pathogenic factors lingering, results in severe diarrhea; (Injury by Wind in Spring indicates an excess of Wood pathogen. After lingering for a long time, it overacts on Spleen Earth, thus causing severe diarrhea.) Injury by Summerheat in Summer, leading to Malaria [Nüe] in Autumn; (Injury by Summerheat pathogen in Summer, if not manifesting as immediate illness...)
