夫瘰 者。结风于内。积热在肝。荣卫不和。胸膈壅滞。毒热相搏。流注于筋脉结聚所
成也。初得即觉项边磊磊。状若连珠。面色萎黄。皮肤壮热。久而不疗。俾热上蒸。则成脓
也。按内经谓荣气不从。逆于肉理。乃生壅肿。盖荣气逆则血郁。郁则热气聚而为脓。瘰
之疾。亦犹是也。热气内结。搏聚在肝。肝主筋。肝藏血。久不瘥。故热聚于血。血腐而为
脓。在于颈腋。肿结相连。有如梅李实是已。

【附论】
瘰疬(颈部淋巴结结核)这种病,是由于风邪结聚于体内,热毒积聚在肝脏,导致营卫之气不和,胸膈部位气机壅滞。毒热相互搏结,流注于筋脉,最终在结聚之处形成肿块。刚发病时,就会感觉脖子旁边有颗粒状隆起,形状像串联的珠子,面色萎黄,皮肤发热。如果长时间不治疗,使热毒向上蒸腾,就会化脓。按照《内经》的说法,营气运行不畅,逆乱于肌肉纹理之间,就会产生壅肿。大概是因为营气逆乱导致血液郁滞,郁滞则热气聚集而化为脓液。瘰疬这种疾病,也是同样的道理。热气在内结聚,搏结在肝脏。肝主司筋脉,肝贮藏血液。如果久治不愈,热邪就聚积在血液中,血液腐败就变成了脓液。病灶位于颈部和腋下,肿胀结块相连,就像梅子李子一样。

[Attached Discussion]
Luo Li (Scrofula, cervical lymph node tuberculosis) is a disease caused by wind pathogen knotting internally and heat toxin accumulating in the Liver. It results from disharmony of Ying (Nutrient) and Wei (Defensive) Qi, and stagnation in the chest and diaphragm. Toxic heat fights and flows into the sinews and vessels, eventually forming masses at sites of accumulation. Initially, one feels nodular lumps along the neck, resembling a string of beads, with a sallow complexion and hot skin. If left untreated for a long time, allowing heat to steam upward, suppuration occurs. According to the *Nei Jing* (Inner Canon), when Ying Qi does not flow smoothly and reverses within the muscle tissue, it generates swelling and congestion. Essentially, reversed Ying Qi leads to blood stasis; stasis causes heat to gather and transform into pus. Luo Li follows this same principle. Internal heat knots and gathers in the Liver. The Liver governs the sinews and stores blood. If not cured for a long time, heat aggregates in the blood, causing the blood to rot and become pus. Located in the neck and axilla, the swollen nodes are connected, resembling plums or plums.
