Original (Classical Chinese)

太阳之为病,脉浮,头项强痛而恶寒。

Pinyin

Tài yáng zhī wéi bìng, mài fú, tóu xiàng qiáng tòng ér wù hán.

English Translation

The disease of Taiyang is characterized by a floating pulse, stiffness and pain in the head and neck, and aversion to cold.

📝 Commentary

This is the primary pattern of Taiyang disease, often seen in early stages of external contractions. The floating pulse and aversion to cold indicate the body's defensive qi fighting external pathogens.
