论述说:《内经》提到大肠有热会导致排出肠垢,巢元方说,肠垢就是肠道间津液浑浊黏腻的物质。这属于传化之腑(指六腑中负责传导和消化食物的器官),热气积聚而形成痢疾,痢疾日久不愈,导致肠道虚弱滑脱,津液与污垢随之排出,这是邪热之气实盛,而真脏之气虚弱的表现,因此出现这种证候。

Discussion: The *Neijing* (Inner Canon) states that heat in the Large Intestine leads to the discharge of intestinal mucus. Chao Yuanfang stated that "intestinal mucus" refers to turbid and greasy fluids within the intestines. These are organs of transmission and transformation, where accumulated heat forms dysentery. If dysentery persists for a long time without healing, the intestines become deficient and slippery, causing fluids and filth to be discharged. This indicates excess pathogenic heat and deficiency of the true Zang-Qi, thus resulting in this syndrome.
