The *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) states that excessive Qi in the various meridians causes a condition of "Xie Jie" (exhaustion and flaccidity). The manifestations include pain in the spinal meridian, shortness of breath, and reluctance to speak. The Kidney is the official responsible for strength and vigor; Essence (Jing) is the root of the body, used to move and support the limbs. Once invaded by pathogenic factors, the Kidney becomes deficient and Essence fails to circulate. Consequently, symptoms such as spinal meridian pain, shortness of breath, and reluctance to speech occur. This condition is named "Xie Jie".

The variations of deficiency and excess in bone marrow are primarily governed by the Kidney and Bladder. If there is disease in these zang-fu organs, heat arising from the bones corresponds to the Zang organs, while cold corresponds to the Fu organs. Thus, the Kidney governs bones and bone marrow. When Kidney Qi is in excess: if it manifests as deficiency, the bones become weak, sore, and painful, accompanied by fatigue and weakness; if it manifests as excess, the bones feel hot and painful with vexation, and internal body fluids dry up. Treatment should follow the specific syndrome. Diseases of the bone marrow correspond to the Liver and Gallbladder. If zang-fu diseases arise from the marrow, generally heat corresponds to the Zang organs and cold to the Fu organs. Therefore, those with deficient marrow experience headache and restlessness.
