《形证论》歌曰∶五色之痢最多端，见此方知有五般，青色只因惊积聚，黄多食积在脾间，白色
冷虚肠胃患，赤为积热最难安，鸡肝隐积多成片，黑血相和不易安，唇搐胸高兼露齿，脸红筋出每居前，急
安脏腑和汤散，医者留心按古贤。又歌曰∶五色之痢莫言奇，四岁之前始有之，青色只因惊积聚，黄因食积
毒于脾，赤黑已知心肾病，白多残害是脾为，三七以前无变动，休令多睡饮餐迟。此疾，且须和五
脏，补荣卫，方渐渐安愈，如目肿，不进饮食（杨云是恶候）只与调胃散补之。

《形证论》中的歌诀说道：五色痢的病因最为复杂，见到这种症状就知道有五种不同的情况。青色多是因为惊风导致的气血积聚；黄色多是脾脏内有食积；白色是肠胃受寒且虚损所致；红色是由于积热内蕴，病情最难安定；鸡肝色（紫黑）是因隐伏之积滞多成片状；黑色是血液与瘀血相混，也不易安宁。若伴有嘴唇抽搐、胸部高耸兼牙齿外露，以及面部发红、筋脉显露等症状，通常出现在疾病前期。此时急需安抚脏腑，服用和汤散治疗，医生需留心参考古代贤人的经验。
另一首歌诀说：五色痢不必觉得奇怪，四岁之前的儿童才开始出现此病。青色多因惊风积聚，黄色因食积毒素在脾脏，赤色和黑色已知涉及心肾病变，白色多由脾脏受损引起。在三七二十一岁之前没有变化，不要让患儿过多睡眠，进食和饮水要迟缓。此病，必须调和五脏，补益营卫，病情才能渐渐痊愈。如果眼睛肿胀，不能进食（杨氏认为这是恶候），只给予调胃散进行补益调理。

The song in "Xing Zheng Lun" states: Dysentery with five colors has the most diverse causes; seeing this symptom indicates there are five distinct types. Green color is solely due to fright accumulation (Jing Ji Ju); yellow is mostly food stagnation within the Spleen; white is caused by cold deficiency affecting the intestines and stomach; red is due to accumulated heat, making it difficult to stabilize; chicken liver color (purple-black) implies hidden accumulation often forming clumps; black blood mixed with stasis is also hard to settle. If accompanied by lip twitching, chest distension, exposed teeth, facial redness, and visible meridians, these usually appear at the beginning of the disease. Urgently soothe the Zang-Fu organs and administer He Tang San (Harmonizing Decoction); physicians should pay attention to the methods of ancient sages.
Another song states: Do not consider dysentery with five colors strange; it begins to occur in children before four years old. Green is solely due to fright accumulation; yellow is due to food stagnation toxins in the Spleen; red and black indicate Heart and Kidney pathology; white is mostly harm to the Spleen. Before the age of twenty-one (3x7), there is no change; do not allow excessive sleep, and delay feeding and drinking. For this disease, one must harmonize the Five Zang organs and tonify Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi) for gradual recovery. If eyes are swollen and appetite is lost (Yang considers this a bad omen), only administer Tiao Wei San (Stomach-Regulating Powder) to tonify.
