Each entry gives the term in traditional and simplified form, its pinyin, the senses it carries in the classical corpus, the passages where it does real work, and how published translations have rendered it.
nüè
The intermittent fevers. The chapter's definition is behavioural rather than aetiological: heat and cold by turns, with intervals of rest between the fits. Everything else in the chapter — the daily or alternate-day timing, the fits creeping later and then earlier, the three named kinds — is an account of why a disease behaves like that.
nüè qì
The malarial evil, spoken of as a thing that moves. It lodges at a depth, and that depth decides everything: shallow means it keeps pace with the defensive qi and the fit is daily; deep means it cannot, and the fit comes every other day or every few days. It is exuberant and vacuous by turns, and which it is at a given moment determines heat or cold, a restless or a quiet pulse.
kuáng
Mania, as chapter 55 names it: not a temperament and not an attack of rage, but an illness of the yang vessels in which the partings are by turns cold and hot. The site already carries 怒狂 nù kuáng, rage and mania, the compound chapter 46 uses when yang qi is abruptly checked. Here the word stands alone, and the chapter's business with it is only this — needle so as to empty the vessel, and stop once the partings everywhere run hot.
míng
Darkness — either the failing of light or, in the variant graph, the closing of the eyes. Chapter 32 uses it once, in a heat disease that begins with heaviness, bone pain, deafness and a liking for darkness, and needles the foot shaoyin for it. The base text writes 暝 with the sun radical; many editions write 瞑 with the eye radical. The two are read alike and the difference barely matters clinically, but the site transcribes the one the base text has.
kǒu mí
Rotten ulceration of the mouth, appearing above when the bladder shifts heat into the small intestine and the intestine is blocked below. The base text writes 麋, glossed as 糜.
xíng bì
The obstruction in which wind qi prevails. The chapter sorts the three kinds by the agent that dominates rather than by the tissue: wind moves, so moving obstruction is the one whose pains shift from place to place. It is also the kind the chapter calls easiest to cure, because wind stays in the surface and the qi.
fù suǐ bìng
The name the chapter gives to a shank so sore it cannot be touched: the evil has adhered to the marrow. It is the chapter's deepest and most violent case, treated not with the ordinary needle but with the chisel needle at Cut bone, letting blood — and it is one of the very few conditions in the Suwen to be given a formal name of its own.
bìng jī
The mechanism of illness: what makes a disease do what it does. The chapter introduces it twice — 無失病機 at the end of the passage on the six transformations, 審察病機，無失氣宜 when the emperor asks for it outright — and then answers with nineteen articles, each of the form 諸…，皆屬於某: 諸風掉胘，皆屬於肝；諸寒收引，皆屬於腎；諸氣膹鬱，皆屬於肺. Fifteen articles name a viscus, four name heat, and the whole is closed by 謹守病機，各司其屬，有者求之，無者求之. What the word holds is therefore not a symptom but the point where the six qi and the viscera meet: the same shaking may belong to liver or to fire, and the article that claims it is the 機, the trigger.
