The rain disease, namely HuiMing storms in six evils rain of Yin and Yang. Her disease To the western zhou dynasty, people accumulated more abundant experience, gradually get rid of wu bondage. If zhouli "account:" with five gas, integrated, 5color Zhi (visual) its life or death; two in nine of the change, and obsessed with the merit of the hidden in nine." This explains the western zhou dynasty, in the diagnosis of disease before, has started to involve inspection, listening and smelling, interrogation, the content of the pulse activity.

    "Five gas" for "five zang-organs, zheng note that breath also, pulmonary gas heat, cold, head next and diseases, kidney cold" spleen temperature.
