太阴经由湿土当令主管。手太阴肺经属辛金，在湿土之气中化生其气。若阳明燥金之气过盛，则太阴之气转化为燥；若太阴湿土之气过盛，则阳明之气转化为湿。因此，凡是病在太阴的，大多属于湿证，唯独温病发生在太阴时，会将湿气转化为燥邪。这是因为冬季肾水失于封藏，相火外泄而灼伤脾阴，到了春夏季节感受病邪，营分郁滞且热势旺盛，体内的湿气自然会被进一步耗损。足太阴脾经从足部走向胸部，行走在身体前面，分布到胃部并联络咽喉。所以病邪传入太阴后，就会出现腹部胀满和咽喉干燥的症状。太阴的湿气被阳明的燥气所剥夺，如果燥气亢盛、湿气枯竭，必然导致死亡。此时应当清解散透皮毛之邪，泄除阳明的燥气，同时滋养太阴的湿气。用黄酥丹主治。

少阴经由君火当令主管。足少阴肾经属癸水，在君火之气中化生其气。阳气过盛则丁火（心火）掌权而化热，阴气过盛则癸水违背时令而生寒。因此，凡是病在少阴的，大多属于寒证，唯独温病发生在少阴时，会将寒邪转化为热邪。这是因为冬季没有藏精，导致肾水亏损、相火外泄，到了春夏季节感受病邪，又正值火旺水虚的时候。足少阴肾经贯穿肾脏、联络肺脏并系连舌根，所以会出现口腔干燥、舌干且口渴的症状。肾主水，人体内的水火是对立并列的，如果肾水枯竭而心火亢盛，人就会死亡。此时应当清解散透皮毛之邪，泄除君火的亢盛，同时补益肾水的枯竭。用紫玉丹主治。

Abdominal fullness and dry throat
The Taiyin meridian is governed by damp-earth. The Hand-Taiyin (Lung) meridian, belonging to Xin-Metal, transforms its qi within the damp-earth environment. When Yangming (Metal) qi is excessive, Taiyin qi transforms into dryness; when Taiyin (Earth) qi is excessive, Yangming qi transforms into dampness. Therefore, diseases located in Taiyin are generally associated with dampness, whereas warm diseases located in Taiyin transform dampness into dryness. This is because during winter, Kidney water fails to be stored properly, allowing ministerial fire to leak out and scorch Spleen yin. Contracting pathogens in spring and summer leads to stagnation of Ying (nutritive) qi and flourishing heat, which naturally further depletes body dampness. The Foot-Taiyin Spleen meridian travels from the foot to the chest, runs along the anterior aspect of the body, distributes to the Stomach, and connects with the throat. Thus, when pathogens transmit to Taiyin, abdominal fullness and dry throat occur. If Taiyin dampness is deprived by Yangming dryness, resulting in hyperactive dryness and depleted dampness, death is inevitable. Treatment should involve clearing and dispersing pathogenic factors from the skin and hair, draining Yangming dryness, and nourishing Taiyin dampness. Huangsu Dan (Yellow Butter Pill) is the primary formula.

Dryness and thirst with fever
Shaoyin is governed by Sovereign Fire. The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney meridian, belonging to Gui-Water, transforms its qi within the Sovereign Fire environment. When yang is excessive, Ding-Fire (Heart Fire) assumes authority and generates heat; when yin is excessive, Gui-Water violates the seasonal order and generates cold. Therefore, diseases located in Shaoyin are mostly cold, whereas warm diseases located in Shaoyin transform cold into heat. This is because failing to store essence during winter leads to Kidney water deficiency and fire leakage. Contracting pathogens in spring and summer coincides with a period of flourishing fire and deficient water. The Foot-Shaoyin Kidney meridian penetrates the Kidney, connects with the Lung, and ties to the root of the tongue. Consequently, oral dryness, dry tongue, and thirst occur. The Kidney governs water; in the human body, water and fire stand in opposition. If Kidney water is exhausted while Heart fire is hyperactive, death ensues. Treatment should involve clearing and dispersing pathogenic factors from the skin and hair, draining the hyperactivity of Sovereign Fire, and replenishing the exhaustion of Kidney water. Ziyu Dan (Purple Jade Pill) is the primary formula.
