"Wen Bing Tiao Bian" 2.1-2.2

"The Differentiation of Warm Diseases" written by the Qing Dynasty physician Wu Tang.

Chapter 2: Upper Burner Section (Sections 1-2, translated into modern Chinese)

1. Warm diseases include nine types: Wind Warmth, Warm Heat, Warm Epidemic, Warm Toxin, Summer Warmth, Damp Warmth, Autumn Dryness, Winter Warmth, and Warm Malaria. These conditions are more commonly found in the Shanghan examples of Wang Shuhe. In these examples, Shuhe cites passages from the Nanjing to strengthen his viewpoints. According to the seasonal patterns, he speculates about illnesses, and these manifestations indeed exist. Although Shuhe encountered these patterns in his treatment of diseases, he didn't provide clear treatment methods for them, merely recording them within the Shanghan examples, resulting in some confusion.
