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.

Wind hernia — 風 fēng, wind; 疝 shàn, a rupture — and this chapter names it five times, once for each of the five depots: 肺風疝、脾風疝、心風疝、腎風疝、肝風疝. All five sit in the same slot of the same scheme — 滑則病X風疝, the slippery pulse, the surplus branch — next to the 濇 branch that gives 積. So the chapter is saying one thing five times: a surplus in the channel, read as a slippery pulse, makes a hernia of wind in the depot that channel belongs to. Which depot belongs to which channel is where this chapter departs from the usual pairing — 少陰 to 肺, 太陰 to 脾, 陽明 to 心, 太陽 to 腎, 少陽 to 肝 — and 丹波元簡 flags it. 厥陰 is the sixth channel and has no depot in the scheme, and correspondingly its hernia is not named for an organ at all: 滑則病狐疝風. There is no standalone 疝 in the chapter; every one of the six is a compound, which is why 疝 itself carries a note rather than a quotation.

The second case of the chapter: heat with sweating, plus a fretting fullness that the sweating does not relieve. The sweating with heat is wind; the fullness that will not resolve is inversion, explained as the shaoyin following the evil upward because it stands inner-outer to the great yang. Unlike yin-yang crossing it is treated — needle both the outer and inner channels and give a decoction.
fēng nüè
A recurring fever with chills attributed to wind. The chapter says it breaks out when sweating is left unfinished, the form is weak, the qi scorched, and the acupoints have closed.
jīng fēng
Wind that has entered and is now carried by the channels. The opening clause of Suwen 4 gives the sequence entire: the eight winds give off evil; becoming the wind of the channels, it touches the five viscera; and the evil qi brings forth disease. 經風 is the middle link of that sequence and the one the chapter invents for itself — it is not a wind of the sky any more, and it is not yet a disease of a viscus. What it names is the road, which is why the same chapter goes on to give every quarter its channel opening: the nape in spring, the chest and flanks in midsummer, the shoulder and back in autumn, the waist and thigh in winter.
fēng fǔ
The point at the back of the neck where the 巨陽 vessel connects, named as the place where wind gathers. Chapter 31 mentions it once and for one reason: because 巨陽 connects there, and wind is the meeting place of the yang, 巨陽 governs the qi of all the yang. The whole six-channel progression follows from that — the vessel that governs the yang is the one the disease must enter first. The point is also the anatomical reason for the first day's symptom list, pain in the head and nape with stiffness in the lumbar spine.
zhòng fēng
One of the two faces of taiyang disease, set against 傷寒. Wind has struck the exterior, the defence is open rather than shut, and so there is fever with sweat, aversion to wind, and a slack pulse instead of the tight pulse of cold damage. The name describes a way of being ill, not a sudden stroke: the book's 中風 is always the external affection, and the prescription that answers it is 桂枝湯.
fēng wēn
A warm evil that shows itself only after sweating: the fever does not break but turns to a scorching heat, with a floating pulse in both yin and yang positions, spontaneous sweat, a heavy body, drowsiness and snoring. The book gives it three lines and one warning — if it is mistaken for cold damage and purged or scorched with fire, the patient is led toward convulsion and death.

What kidney wind turns into when it is needled in spite of vacuity: a water illness with wind. Its long list of signs is the chapter's set piece, and the rest of the text takes them one at a time — the yellow urine from heat in the lower abdomen, the inability to lie flat from disharmony in the stomach, the swelling below the eyes because water and the region under the eyes are both yin, the absent menses because the womb vessel is closed.
fēng xiāo
The first of the two transmissions of disease of the second yang, and the chapter's name for it: 二陽之病發心脾，有不得隱曲，女子不月，其傳爲風消. The second yang is the yangming; the disease begins in the heart and the spleen — the spleen governs the muscles, the heart governs the blood — and what it transmits into is a wasting in which the flesh disperses. 消 is the melting away, and 風 is what does it: the dryness of the qi working on flesh the spleen can no longer fill. The paragraph does not stop there. The same sentence sends the disease on again into 息賁, and of that it says 死不治 — wind-dispersion is the stage at which the patient may still be treated.
yǒu zǐ
The chapter's reading of a pulse that means a woman is with child: 陰搏陽别，謂之有子 — the yin beats and the yang is apart from it, and that is called 有子. 搏 is the pulse coming up hard under the finger and 别 is its being separated off from the yang; the yin position beats, and the yang does not answer it in the same way. It stands at the head of four verdicts in one short paragraph, and it is the only one that is not bad news: the second is 陰陽虚，腸辟死, the third 陽加於陰謂之汗, the fourth 陰虚陽搏，謂之崩. The pair with 崩 is exact and worth keeping in view — there the yin is empty and the yang beats, here the yin is full and beats — so the two readings sit on opposite sides of one pulse.
dà gǔ kū gǎo
The opening words of the chapter's five-stage portrait of a body dying. Each of the five begins with the same eight characters — the great bones withered, the great flesh fallen in — and then adds one thing: laboured breathing alone gives six months; pain pulling to the shoulder and nape gives one month; add body heat and the breaking of the muscle masses and it is ten months; with the marrow melting at the shoulder and movement failing further, a year; and with the abdomen painful, the shoulders and body hot and the eye sockets sunken, death is immediate. The repetition is the point: the body has already reached the same state in all five, and what separates them is how much is still being consumed.

An illness got before birth. Asked what to call the peak illness a child is born with, chapter 47 answers with a cause rather than a prognosis: the mother, while the child was in her belly, suffered a great fright, so that the qi rose and did not descend and the essence qi stayed gathered together; hence the child develops the peak illness.
