2. Point out the causes, pathology, symptoms, treatment methods and prognosis of four types of febrile diseases including Yin Yang Jiao, Feng Jue, labor wind and kidney wind.
3. When evil energy invades the human body, there must first be a deficiency in righteous energy.
Original Huangdi asked: If there is a warm person with a fever, sweating and frequent reheating, and a rapid pulse, not due to sweating, raving and being unable to eat, what is the name of the disease? Qi Bo replied: The name of the disease is the intersection of yin and yang, and the intersection of yin and yang. Death. The emperor said: I would like to hear what he said. Qi Bo said: The reason why people sweat is because they are born in grains, and grains are born in essence. Nowadays, when evil spirits fight against the flesh and bones and cause sweating, this is because the evil spirits are overcome and the essence is victorious. If the essence is superior, you should be able to eat without relapse. Relapse of fever is caused by evil spirits. Those who sweat are the essence. Nowadays, if you are sweating and have frequent fever, it is because of evil. Those who cannot eat have no energy to support them. Those who remain sick may live a long life. Qiefu's "Regulations on Heat" says: People who sweat profusely but have a irritated pulse will die. If the pulse does not correspond to the sweat, then the patient cannot be ill and the patient will die. Those who talk wildly lose their ambition, and those who lose their ambition will die. Now I see three deaths, but not one life. Even if I get better, I will definitely die.
The Emperor said: There is a disease with body heat, sweating and fullness, and the trouble is not relieved by sweating. Why is this disease? Qi Bo said: The person who is sweating and the body is hot is wind; sweating and fullness are not relieved. The disease is called "Ri Feng Jue". The emperor said: "I hope everyone will hear about it." Qi Bo said: Ju Yang governs qi, so it receives evil first, and Shaoyin acts as an external and internal agent. When it gets heat, it will follow it, and if it follows it, it will cause diarrhea. The emperor said, "What can be done to cure it?" Qi Bo said, "Prick it on the outside and inside, drink it and take soup."
The emperor said: What is the disease caused by laboring wind? Qibo said: The method of laboring wind is under the lungs. It is also a disease that causes people to have strong vision, spit like tears, and feel aversion to wind and make them feel cold. This is a disease caused by labor wind. The emperor said: "What can be done to cure it?" Qi Bo said: "I want to save you." It takes three days for a giant yang to induce semen, five days for a middle-aged man, and seven days for a person with no semen. Coughing up green and yellow mucus, which looks like pus and is as big as a bullet. It comes out of the mouth and nose. If it does not come out, it will damage the lungs. If the lungs are damaged, death will occur.
The emperor said: For those with kidney disease, the face is sore and congested, which is harmful to speech. Can it be acupuncture? Qi Bo said: It is not appropriate to acupuncture when it is weak. If you prick when you don't prick, the Qi will definitely arrive in the next five days. The emperor said, "How is it going?" Qibo said: "It will be short of breath and sometimes hot, sometimes hot from the chest and back to the head, sweating, hot hands, dry mouth and thirst, yellow urine, swollen eyes, ringing in the abdomen, and difficulty walking because of weight loss" , menstruation does not come, irritability makes it impossible to eat, and the inability to straighten your head, and cough when you hold your head straight. The disease is called Feng Shui, which is discussed in "Acupuncture Methods".
The emperor said: I would like to hear what he said. Qi Bo said: Where evil comes together, its Qi will be deficient. When yin is deficient, yang will be added to it, so when there is little qi, there will be heat and sweating. Yellow urine means there is heat in the abdomen. Those who cannot straighten their stomachs have disharmony in their stomachs. When the patient is biting, the cough becomes severe and the upper part presses the lungs. For those with water vapor, slight swelling will first appear under the eyes. The emperor said: "Why do you say this?" Qi Bo said: "Water is yin, and the eyes are also yin. The abdomen is where the yin resides. Therefore, water in the abdomen will cause swelling under the eyes." The true Qi is reversed upwards, so the mouth is bitter and the tongue is dry, and it is impossible to lie down and lie down, and when you are upright, you will cough up clear water. People suffering from various water diseases cannot lie down. Lying down will cause fright, and fright will cause severe coughing. If there is a rumbling sound in the abdomen, the disease originates from the stomach. If the spleen is thin, the patient will feel restless and unable to eat. Those who cannot eat will suffer from epigastric diastasis. For those who are too heavy to walk, the stomach pulse is at the foot. If menstruation does not come, the cell pulse is closed. Cell veins belong to the heart and are connected in the cells. Today, the Qi is forced up the lungs and the heart Qi cannot flow down, so menstruation does not come. The emperor said: Good.
Translation Huangdi asked: Some patients with febrile diseases have fever again after sweating, and their pulses are rapid and restless. Not only are their illnesses not abated by sweating, but they have garbled speech and refuse to eat. Wait for the symptoms, what is this disease? Qi Bo replied: This disease is called Yin-Yang intercourse, and Yin-Yang intercourse is a fatal disease. Huangdi said: I want to hear the truth. Qi Bo said: The reason why people can sweat depends on the essence transformed from water and grain. If the essence of water and grain is strong, it can overcome evil spirits and sweat. Now evil spirits and righteousness are fighting between bones and flesh, and sweat can be achieved. What is important is that the evil qi retreats and the essence qi prevails. Those who have the essence qi prevail should be able to eat and drink without having a fever. The recurrence of fever is due to the fact that the evil Qi still remains, and the sweating is caused by the Essence and Qi overpowering the evil. The recurrence of fever after the sweating is now caused by the evil Qi prevailing over the Essence. Without food and drink, the essence and Qi will not be continuously replenished, and the evil heat will not linger. If this continues, the patient's life will be in immediate danger. It is also said in "The Treatise on Heat" that sweating while the pulse is still strong is a sign of death. Now that the pulse does not correspond to the sweating, it means that the essence can no longer overcome the evil energy, and the signs of death are obvious. Besides, raving is a sign of insanity, and insanity is a sign of death. Now there are three types of death certificates, but there is no sign of life. Although the disease may be temporarily alleviated by sweating, death will eventually occur.
Huang Di said: Some diseases cause fever, sweating, and depression all over the body. The depression is not relieved by sweating. What kind of disease is this? Qibo said: The whole body feels hot due to sweating. Wind evil; boredom and incomprehension are caused by the downward flow of Qi and the upward flow of Qi. The disease is called Fengjue. Huangdi said: I hope you can tell me in detail. Qi Bo said: The sun governs the qi of all Yangs and controls the surface of the body, so the Sun is the first to feel the invasion of wind evil. Shaoyin and the sun are related to the outside and the inside, and diseases on the outside must be dealt with on the inside. Shaoyin is affected by the heat of the sun, and its qi also reverses upward, and the upper reverse becomes a convulsion. Huang Di said: How to treat it? Qi Bo said: During treatment, the external and internal meridians of Taiyang and Shaoyin should be pricked at the same time, that is, the Taiyang should be pricked to purge wind-heat evil, Shaoyin should be pricked to reduce the upward and negative qi, and decoction should be taken orally.
Huang Di said: What is the condition of Lao Feng? Qi Bo said: The affected part of Lao Feng is often under the lungs. Its symptoms include stiffness of the head and neck, dizziness and blurred vision. , spitting out sticky phlegm like tears, chilling due to wind aversion, this is the onset of labor disease. Huang Di said: How to cure it? Qi Bo said: First, the chest should be unobstructed so that it can be lifted up and down freely. For young people with abundant kidney essence, the energy of the sun can lead the kidney essence to spread out, and the water can relieve the fire. With appropriate treatment, recovery can be achieved in three days; for middle-aged people with slightly weakened essence, recovery can take five days; for the elderly, The essence has declined and the water cannot help the fire. It will take seven days to recover. This kind of patient coughs up greenish-yellow sticky phlegm, which looks like pus and condenses into lumps, the size of bullets. The phlegm should be discharged from the mouth or nose. If the phlegm cannot be coughed out, the patient's lungs will be injured, and the patient will die if the lungs are injured.
Huang Di said: There are people suffering from kidney wind who have swollen faces, congested eyes, and difficulty in speech. Can this disease be treated with acupuncture? Qi Bo said: Deficiency syndrome cannot be treated with acupuncture. If you stab the patient by mistake when you shouldn't, it will damage the true qi and make the internal organs weak. After five days, the disease qi will return and the disease will worsen. Huangdi said: What will happen when the disease qi arrives? Qi Bo said: When the disease qi arrives, the patient will feel short of breath, sometimes have fever, often feel heat from the chest and back to the head, sweating and hot hands, thirsty mouth, and yellow urine. Swelling under the eyes, ringing in the abdomen, heaviness in the body, and difficulty in moving. If the patient is a woman, her menstruation will stop, she will be upset and unable to eat or sleep, and will cough violently when lying on her back. This disease is called Feng Shui and is discussed in "Acupuncture Methods".
Huang Di said: I want to hear the truth. Qi Bo said: The reason why evil energy can invade the human body is because its healthy energy is first deficient. The kidneys belong to yin, and wind evil belongs to yang. When kidney yin is insufficient, wind yang takes advantage of the deficiency and invades, resulting in short breathing, constant fever and sweating. Yellow urine is due to heat in the abdomen. You cannot lie on your back because the water vapor is superior to the stomach and there is disharmony in the stomach. Coughing worsens when lying on your back because water vapor is forced up into the lungs. For those with water-vapor disease, slight swelling will first appear under the eyes. Huang Di said: Why? Qi Bo said: Water belongs to Yin, and the area under the eyes is also Yin, and the abdomen is also the place where Yin is located, so if there is water in the abdomen, the area under the eyes will be slightly swollen. The water evil qi ascends to the heart, forcing the fire qi of the internal organs and heart to reverse upward, so the mouth is bitter and the throat is dry. You cannot lie on your back. If you lie on your back, the water qi will reverse upward and you will cough up clear water. Anyone suffering from water vapor disease cannot lie down because the water vapor rises up in the stomach. When lying down, the water vapor rises up to the heart and causes fright, and when it goes against the lungs, the cough worsens. Ringing in the abdomen means water vapor is flowing in the gastrointestinal tract, and the disease is rooted in the stomach. If water is forced from the spleen, one will be upset and unable to eat. If you don't eat well, the water vapor is blocked in the epigastrium. The body is heavy and it is difficult to move because the meridians of the stomach go down to the feet and water vapor flows down along the meridians. Women's menstruation is not due to the blockage of water qi and blocked cell veins. The cell veins belong to the heart and are connected down in the cells. The water qi is forced upward by the lungs, which prevents the heart qi from flowing down. Therefore, the cell pulses are closed and menstruation does not come. Huang Di said: OK.
