《内经》说：面色黄赤主风证。又说：面色黄赤主热证。黄色，是脾胃的本色，也是湿土的本色。通过六部（寸关尺三部，每部浮中沉）和十法（望诊的多种方法），都可以综合推断。五色与四时的变化，都应当深入参详探究。

The *Classic of Internal Medicine* states: Yellow and red complexions indicate Wind. It also states: Yellow and red complexions indicate Heat. Yellow is the color of the Spleen and Stomach, and also the color of Damp Earth. Through the Six Regions (Cun, Guan, Chi positions on both hands, each with Floating, Middle, and Deep levels) and Ten Methods (various inspection techniques), all can be comprehensively deduced. The changes of the Five Colors and Four Seasons should all be deeply investigated.
If the whole body aches, there is fever, and the complexion is yellow like smoked tobacco, this is the disease pattern of a patient with Dampness. If the face is yellow with fever, and the body is heavy with limb pain, this indicates Dampness in the Exterior. If the face is yellow, lustrous but slightly dull, this is Damp-Heat. In patients with Dampness, if there is body pain, fever, yellow face, wheezing, headache, nasal congestion, and irritability, with a large pulse, normal appetite, and a peaceful abdomen without pathology, this is due to Cold-Damp affecting the head, hence the nasal congestion. If the yellow complexion is dull and stagnant, this is Cold-Damp. If there is body pain, a slightly yellow face, yellow dental plaque, and yellow nails, this is Jaundice (*Huang Dan*). If the yellow color resembles Gardenia fruit, this is Jaundice. When Wind-Dampness combats each other, dizziness occurs immediately after eating; grain qi fails to digest, causing bitterness from turbid qi in the Stomach; turbid qi flows downward, leading to urinary obstruction; Yin is affected by Cold, while Heat flows into the Bladder, resulting in full-body yellowing; this is Grain Jaundice (*Gu Dan*). If the yellow complexion is dull and blackish, this is Female Labor Jaundice or Wine Jaundice. If the face is blue-black, the heart feels as if garlic paste has been consumed, stools are jet black, skin is numb, and the pulse is floating and weak, although blackish with a hint of yellow, this is Black Jaundice (*Hei Dan*). In Jaundice diseases, if the face is red-yellow, there is thirst, urine is dark red and bright, and there is body heat, this is Yang Jaundice (*Yang Huang*). If there is no thirst, the face is dark yellow, and the body is cold as ice, this is Yin Jaundice (*Yin Huang*). If the face is black-yellow, with thirst and abdominal distension, it is difficult to treat. If an infant is born with jaundice covering the whole body and face, with a golden color, this is Fetal Jaundice (*Tai Huang*). If the whole body and face are yellow and swollen, the pulse is deep, and urination is difficult, this is Interior Water (*Li Shui*). Yellow lips indicate Spleen disease. A sallow, lusterless complexion indicates Spleen Deficiency. A yellow nose tip, open pores, profuse sweating, and body itching with a sensation like mice crawling under the skin, indicates that My Bi (Muscle Bi) has not healed, external pathogens have been contracted again, and internally combined with the Spleen. If the "Two Pools of Wind Qi" (specific facial areas) are yellow like loess, the Spleen is injured. A thin, slightly yellow complexion, loss of appetite, bodily lethargy, unwillingness to move limbs, excessive sweating, aversion to wind, and yellowness above the nose indicate Spleen Wind (*Pi Feng*). A yellow face, bodily numbness, inability to walk, loss of taste in food, inverted dreams, and dreaming of following dead people, indicate the onset of Spleen Wind. A yellow face with abdominal distension and a tendency to dysentery indicates Spleen Epilepsy (*Pi Xian*). During epilepsy attacks, if the face is yellow, abdomen is full, vomiting and diarrhea have a sour odor, and frequent convulsions occur, this is Food Epilepsy (*Shi Xian*). A yellow face with muscle twitching indicates Spleen Heat. A yellow face with red eyes and pain/fullness in the hypochondrium indicates Spleen Heat. Frequent yawning, easy sneezing, clear nasal discharge, fever, and a yellow face indicate Middle Cold (*Zhong Han*). A yellow complexion mixed with white indicates Spleen-Stomach Deficient-Cold. A yellow complexion mixed with green indicates Spleen Deficiency with Diarrhea. A yellow-white complexion without luster indicates Spleen-Lung Qi Deficiency. A dry, yellow complexion indicates Stomach Disease with Deficient-Heat. A pale yellow complexion indicates Stomach Disease with Deficient-Cold. Abdominal distension, poor appetite, mental fatigue, a yellow face, and emaciation indicate Deficient Distension (*Xu Zhang*). A yellow, puffy face with poor appetite indicates Extreme Deficiency (*Xu Ji*). A grayish-yellow complexion, prominent abdominal veins, abdominal distension, and generalized swelling comparable to Pi Distension indicate Drum Distension (*Gu Zhang*). A yellow face, black stools, forgetfulness resembling mania, indicates Accumulated Blood inside. Generally, a yellow face indicates difficult defecation. A yellow-and-white complexion with patterns like crab claws indicates Food Retention (*Shi Ji*). Quiet lying down with a yellow face and a small, choppy pulse indicates lack of appetite. A yellow, swollen face in children indicates Accumulation Syndrome (*Ji Zheng*). A cyan-yellow face, emaciated muscles,憔悴 (withered) hair and skin, staring eyes, hard and enlarged abdomen, and exposed blue veins indicate Kan Disease (*Gan Bing*). Fluctuating yellow and white complexions indicate Kan Accumulation (*Kan Ji*). A yellow, emaciated face, hair forming tufts, and itchy nose indicate Brain Kan (*Nao Gan*). A spine protruding like a saw, a drum-like sound when patting the back, and a yellow, thin face indicate Spine Kan (*Ji Gan*). Neck nodules, pus and blood in stool/urine, emaciation, yellow face, and fever indicate Innocent Kan (*Wu Gu Gan*). Abdominal distension, blue veins, sallow face, scorched hair, bony prominence, geophagia (eating dirt), indigestion, and skin sores indicate Spleen Kan (*Pi Gan*). A large belly with a small head, yellow and thin, indicates Ding Xi Kan (*Ding Xi Gan*). Emaciation, yellow face, sores, or diarrhea of green/yellow/white stool, or stool resembling greasy mud, indicates Kan Diarrhea (*Kan Xie*). Fever, abdominal distension, somnolence, yellow face, limb weakness, rotting nose with foul discharge, gingival sores, or black bloody diarrhea indicates Pediatric Kan with intestinal worms. Cyan-yellow face, fatigue, body pain, dry scorching lips/tongue, falling eyebrows/hair, severe abdominal pain (like biting or crawling insects), indicates Worm Zhuan (*Chong Zhu*). Abdominal masses that rise and disappear upon pressure, intermittent swelling/pain, midnight epigastric discomfort, locked jaw, vomiting of saliva/clear fluid, cyan-yellow face, and failure of diet to nourish flesh indicate Worm Syndrome (*Chong Zheng*). Dark circles under eyes/nose, sallow face, and crab-claw-like blood vessels on the face also indicate Worm Syndrome. A yellow face with white lips indicates Deficient-Cold Diarrhea. A deep yellow complexion indicates Vomiting/Diarrhea due to Food Injury. A string-taut, floating, large, short pulse, shortness of breath, abdominal fullness, hypochondriac/cardiac pain unrelieved by pressure, dry nose, anhidrosis, somnolence, generalized jaundice, difficult urination, tidal fever, and occasional hiccups with ear/preauricular swelling indicate Yangming Wind Strike (*Yang Ming Zhong Feng*). Generalized jaundice with tidal fever indicates Stomach Heat. A yellow face with slight periorbital edema indicates Phlegm-Fluid (*Tan Yin*). A yellow face with a large, deficient pulse indicates Accumulated Qi in the abdomen, characteristic of Jue Hernia (*Jue Shan*). A yellow-red face with a firm, long Kidney pulse indicates Waist Fracture (severe lower back pain). If the pulse is scattered, it indicates Blood Deficiency that will not recover. A firm, long Spleen pulse with a yellow face indicates Shortness of Breath. If the pulse is scattered and the face lacks luster, it indicates Edema of the lower legs resembling water. A yellow face with a floating, large, long pulse, subxiphoid masses like peaches/plums, abdominal fullness, vomiting/diarrhea, borborygmus, heavy limbs, edematous/cold lower legs, and inability to lie down indicates Spleen Accumulation (*Pi Ji*). Symptoms appear when hungry and subside when full, due to competition between Grain Qi and Pathogenic Qi. A dry, yellow complexion indicates Heat damaging Body Fluids. A dull, yellow complexion indicates Consumption of Body Fluids. A yellow-red forehead (Tian Ting) indicates Upper Jiao Heat. A fine pulse with a yellow face indicates Wei Qi Decline. A fine, choppy Cun Kou pulse, cyan-yellow face, chills, cough, reverse flow of Qi, bloody sputum, and salivation indicate simultaneous deficiency of Ying and Wei Qi. A yellow nose tip indicates Cold in the Upper Chest. A ghastly yellow nose indicates Spleen Failure. A cyan-yellow nose tip indicates the person likely suffers from Lin Syndrome (dysuria). Observing a yellow nose tip indicates difficult urination. A smoked-yellow face in women indicates Irregular Menstruation. A fine pulse with a yellow face in obese individuals indicates Cold in the Upper Chest. In newborns, yellowness around the nose/mouth, closed eyes crying, puckered mouth/face, dry mouth, and immobility of limbs indicate Blood Ruin, undeveloped muscles, and unconverged blood vessels. Yellow and greasy indicates Pus. Yellow and depleted color indicates Chronic Disease. Chronic disease with a yellow face but good appetite indicates Internal Heat. In Taiyang Disease of Cold Damage, after sweating/purging plus moxibustion/cauterization, if there is epigastric stuffiness, chest irritability, cyan-yellow face, and muscle twitching, it is difficult to treat; if the face is slightly yellow and the radial artery at the wrist is warm, it is easy to heal. Brightness at the nose tip/shan gen with yellow eyes indicates improvement. Harmonious pulse with restlessness and yellow inner eyelids indicates impending resolution. A turning yellow in chronic disease indicates healing. Subtle yellow indicates recovery approaching. Complexions clearing like dispersing clouds indicate imminent cure and ease of treatment. Yellow rising on the cheeks indicates the disease is just beginning to heal. Yellow at Cheng Jiang indicates incurable disease. Yellow at the corners of the mouth indicates Spleen Extinction. Yellow-black in Kidney disease, spots the size of a thumb corresponding to the ears, indicate sudden death. In Heat Disease, with wheezing/cough/bloody sputum, edema of limbs/abdomen, yellow face, shivering, and mutism, the Lung dies first, with Po and Skin/Hair departing. A yellow face with green eyes and chaotic hand movements indicates Evil Wind in the Stomach, where Wood overacts on Earth. A face lacking luster, looking like earth, indicates Spleen Extinction. A face lacking luster like earth, unable to accept food, indicates death within four days. Mouth/eye distortion, fright, delirium, yellow face, and excess/non-sensibility in upper/lower meridians indicate the end of Yangming. A patient with a sallow face, dryness without thirst, chest irritability/fullness, and intractable diarrhea indicates Spleen-Stomach Extinction. True Spleen Pulse arriving: weak, alternating slow/fast, cyan-yellow lusterless face, withering hair indicates death due to lack of Stomach Qi, where Wood overacts on Earth. Kidney Disease with cold extremities, red face/yellow eyes, urinary incontinence, bone/joint pain, lower abdominal binding pain, Qi rushing to the heart: the pulse should be deep/fine/slipping, but is now floating/large; the color should be black but is yellow; this is Earth overacting on Water, a major reversal, ten deaths, untreatable. These are all observations regarding the color Yellow.
