This ancient Chinese medical text, a dialogue between the Yellow Emperor and his physician Qi Bo, explains the symptoms and causes of ailments related to the Yangming channel, a meridian associated with the stomach. Specific symptoms, such as aversion to fire, wood sounds, and people, are linked to the channel's elemental imbalances and energetic excesses. The discussion explores the relationship between the Yangming channel's function and various physical manifestations, including unusual behaviors like discarding clothing, climbing, and singing, and the potential for life-threatening consequences if the illness affects internal organs. Qi Bo's explanations detail the physiological mechanisms behind these unusual symptoms, grounded in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
