Original (Classical Chinese)

辨气辨色辨舌辨神辨脉,五者不可缺。

Pinyin

Biàn qì biàn sè biàn shé biàn shén biàn mài, wǔ zhě bù kě quē.

English Translation

Warm-heat disease is unlike cold damage. The pathogen of cold damage travels from exterior to interior; that of warm heat passes directly from mouth and nose to the membrane source. Treatment must distinguish exterior and interior, deficiency and excess, and must not indiscriminately employ sweating.

📝 Commentary

Dai Tianzhang's Qing expansion of warm-epidemic theory, contrasting the transmission of warm heat (via mouth and nose to the membrane source) with cold damage, and warning against blanket use of diaphoresis.
