伤寒病到了第六天，是厥阴经受邪。厥阴经，是肝脏的经脉。它的脉气循行经过生殖器，联络于肝脏。所以患病六天后，如果出现烦闷胀满，且寸口脉搏动迟缓的，必然睾丸不会收缩，外部证候必定表现为发热、恶寒，像疟疾一样，这是病情将要痊愈的表现，适宜用桂枝麻黄各半汤。如果尺寸两部脉搏都沉而短的，必然是睾丸收缩，毒气侵入内脏，适宜用承气汤攻下。大抵伤寒病，脏腑传变，阳经先受邪，所以依次传入阴经。阳主生发，所以太阳水经传变为阳明土经，土经传变为少阳木经，这是轻微的邪气。阴主肃杀，所以木经传变为太阴上经，土经传变为少阴水经，水经传变为厥阴木经。到了第六七天，应当传至厥阴肝木，因为移气克制脾土，导致脾土困顿而危殆，卫气和营气不通，耳聋，睾丸收缩，神志昏迷而死。此时应速用承气汤。又说：脾热病，则五脏危险。又说：土败木贼，则死。如果第六七天，脾胃脉象显示脾气完全恢复，不再受克，邪气无处容身，否极泰来，营卫通畅，就会大汗出而病解。

On the sixth day of Cold Damage (Shanghan), the Jueyin meridian is affected. The Jueyin meridian belongs to the Liver. Its vessels circulate through the genitalia and connect to the liver. Therefore, on the sixth day of illness, if there is irritability and fullness, and the pulse at the Cun position is slow, the testicles will not retract. The external symptoms must include fever and aversion to cold resembling malaria, indicating that the disease is about to resolve. Guizhi Mahuang Ge Ban Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Ephedra Half-Volume Decoction) should be used. If the pulses at both Cun and Chi positions are deep and short, the testicles will definitely retract, and toxic heat has entered the zang organs. Chengqi Tang (Gut-Purging Decoction) should be used to purge them. Generally, in Cold Damage diseases, the transmission between zang and fu organs follows a sequence where the Yang meridians are affected first, gradually transmitting to the Yin meridians. Yang governs generation; thus, Taiyang Water transmits to Yangming Earth, and Earth transmits to Shaoyang Wood, representing a mild pathogenic factor. Yin governs destruction; thus, Wood transmits to Taiyin Upper, Earth transmits to Shaoyin Water, and Water transmits to Jueyin Wood. By the sixth or seventh day, it should transmit to Jueyin Liver Wood. Since Qi shifts to overcome Spleen Earth, the Spleen becomes trapped and critical. Wei Qi and Ying Blood circulation is blocked, leading to deafness, retraction of the testicles, loss of consciousness, and death. In such cases, Chengqi Tang should be used rapidly. It is said: "Spleen Heat Disease endangers the five zang organs." It is also said: "When Earth fails and Wood attacks, death occurs." However, if by the sixth or seventh day, the Spleen and Stomach pulses indicate that Spleen Qi is fully restored and no longer overcome, the pathogen will have no place to reside. As adversity turns to prosperity, Ying and Wei Qi will flow freely, resulting in profuse sweating and resolution of the disease.
