癫痫这一疾病，在各方书中记载，都将其作为同一证候来治疗。我认为癫病与痫病难以一概而论。所以癫病完全归属于心经。
痫病有人称之为“旋名倒”。症状表现为肢体抽搐、强直或松弛、口吐白沫，发出羊的叫声。这多是因为年幼时脐疮未愈，频繁洗浴，湿气侵袭脾经所致。这种称为羊痫。因为羊对应地支中的“未”，属于坤位，由足太阴脾经（湿土）主司。所以此病生于脾经。患者出现昏晕颠倒，双手频繁伸展，发出鸡的叫声。片刻后即苏醒，但醒后易复发。这多是因为年幼时燥气损伤胃腑，烦热毒邪内生，郁结的涎液进入胃中所致。这种称为鸡痫。因为鸡对应地支中的“酉”，由足阳明胃经（燥金）主司。所以此病生于胃经。患者出现眩晕颠倒，眼球牵引，肢体牵拉拘急强直，发出猪的叫声，吐出涎沫，过一会儿才停止。这多是因为年幼时呕吐腹泻，夹杂风邪所致。这种称为猪痫。因为猪对应地支中的“亥”，由手厥阴心包络（风木）主司。所以此病生于右肾经。患者出现眩晕颠倒，眼睛上翻，牙关紧闭，身体抽搐，发出牛吼声。这多是因为年幼时……（原文此处有缺漏）生于肺经。
大凡癫痫病，都是因为惊动，导致脏腑之气不平，郁结而生出涎液，闭塞诸条经脉，气机逆乱而发病。有的在母胎中受惊，有的年幼时感受风寒暑湿，或者饮食不节制，逆乱脏气。详细推究，三因（内因、外因、不内外因）具备。风寒暑湿得之于外，惊恐震慑得之于内，饮食饥饱属于不内外因。虽然三因不同，但导致气机逆乱则是相同的。病气传遍五脏，散布于六腑，溢满于络脉。只是各人禀赋不同，脏腑强弱有别，性情理路有燥静之分，所以各种证候蜂拥而起。推究其病因，没有超出这三条，病的机理就全部清楚了。《三因方》说：五痫合属五脏，而没有肾痫和胃痫的说法。因为肾对应鼠，不是家畜饲养之物，神志无专门主治，所以不产生痫病象；胃对应鸡（注：此处原文逻辑似有误，通常胃属未土，鸡属酉金，原文可能指代某种配属关系或笔误，但依文意翻译），属于六畜之物，所以有形象关联。加上胃为五脏之海，不同于其他腑。另外狗对应戌，由手少阳三焦经主司。虽然狗属于六畜，但没有犬痫，因为辰、戌为魁罡之地，四煞无处不存，不兴起痫的病象。

Epilepsy, as recorded in various medical texts, is often treated as a single syndrome. I believe that Dian (癫) and Xian (痫) cannot be generalized together. Therefore, Dian is entirely attributed to the Heart meridian.
Xian is sometimes referred to as "Xuán Míng Dǎo" (旋名倒). Its symptoms include limb convulsions, spasms, or flaccidity, foaming at the mouth, and sounds resembling those of a sheep. This condition is often caused by umbilical sores in childhood that fail to heal, coupled with frequent bathing, allowing dampness to invade the Spleen meridian. It is named Sheep Epilepsy (Yáng Xián). In Chinese cosmology, the Sheep corresponds to the Earthly Branch Wei (未), belonging to the Kun position, and is governed by the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian (Zú Tàiyīn Pí Jīng - Wet Earth). Thus, this disease arises from the Spleen meridian. Patients experience dizziness and disorientation, frequent extension of both hands, and emit sounds like a chicken. They awaken after a short while but are prone to recurrence. This is often caused by dryness injuring the Stomach in childhood, leading to internal accumulation of irritant toxins and stagnant phlegm entering the Stomach. It is named Chicken Epilepsy (Jī Xián). The Chicken corresponds to the Earthly Branch You (酉), governed by the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian (Zú Yángmíng Wèi Jīng - Dry Metal). Thus, this disease arises from the Stomach meridian. Patients experience vertigo and disorientation, eye traction, limb pulling and stiffness, emit pig-like noises, spit saliva, and recover after a short period. This is often caused by vomiting and diarrhea in childhood complicated by wind pathogens. It is named Pig Epilesty (Zhū Xián). The Pig corresponds to the Earthly Branch Hai (亥), governed by the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian (Shǒu Juéyīn Xīnbāo Luò - Wind Wood). Thus, this disease arises from the Right Kidney meridian. Patients experience vertigo and disorientation, eyes rolling back, jaw clenching, convulsions, and emit bellowing sounds like an ox. This is often caused by... [text missing] arising from the Lung meridian.
Generally, epilepsy is caused by shock, which disrupts the harmony of zang-fu qi, leading to stagnation and the generation of phlegm, blocking the meridians, and resulting in jue (reversal of qi flow). It may result from shock received in the womb, exposure to wind-cold-summerheat-dampness in childhood, or irregular diet causing rebellion of zang-fu qi. Detailed analysis shows the presence of the Three Causes (Sān Yīn): wind-cold-summerheat-dampness come from outside; fright and shock come from inside; dietary excess or deficiency belong to neither inside nor outside. Although the causes differ, they all lead to qi rebellion. The pathogenic qi spreads through the five zang organs, six fu organs, and collaterals. However, due to individual constitutional differences, varying strength of zang-fu organs, and distinct temperaments (dry/still vs. moist/agitated), various syndromes arise. Tracing the etiology, it does not exceed these three categories, thus covering the entirety of the pathology. *San Yin Fang* states: The five types of xian correspond to the five zang organs, excluding the Kidney and Stomach. The Kidney corresponds to the Rat, which is not a domesticated animal, and has no specific spiritual ruler, hence no kidney xian. The Stomach corresponds to the Chicken (note: textual logic here is complex/possibly erroneous in source), a domesticated animal, hence associated. Additionally, the Stomach is the "Sea of the Five Zang," unlike other fu organs. The Dog corresponds to Xu, governed by the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian. Although dogs are domesticated, there is no dog xian, because Chen and Xu are "Kui Gang" positions, where the four evils have no place, and thus do not manifest xian imagery.
