The "Six Evils" refer to the six types of external pathogenic factors: wind, cold, summer-heat, dampness, dryness, and fire. When climatic changes are abnormal, these six qi become excessive or deficient, or appear at inappropriate times (such as cold in spring when it should be warm, or heat in autumn when it should be cool), as well as when climate changes are too sudden (such as extreme cold or heat), and when the body's righteous qi is deficient and resistance is lowered, these six factors can become pathogenic and cause disease when they invade the body.

Wind Evil:

Wind is a yang evil with a dispersing nature that easily attacks yang positions. Wind evil is mobile and does not stay in one place, having the characteristics of ascending, outward, and upward movement, thus being classified as a yang evil. Its dispersing nature means it easily causes the pores to open and disperse. Because it can ascend and move outward and upward, when wind evil invades, it often affects the upper part of the body (head), yang channels, and the surface of the body, causing the skin pores to open and disperse, often resulting in symptoms such as headache, sweating, and aversion to wind.

Cold Evil:

Cold is a yin evil that easily damages yang qi. Cold is a manifestation of excessive yin qi, thus its nature is yin, as in "excess yin leads to cold." Yang qi can normally control yin, but when yin cold is excessive, yang qi is not only insufficient to expel the cold evil but is also injured by the yin cold, hence "when yin prevails, yang becomes diseased." When external cold invades the body surface, if defensive yang is constrained, symptoms of aversion to cold will appear; when cold evil directly affects the spleen and stomach, damaging spleen yang, symptoms such as epigastric and abdominal cold pain, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur.

Summer-Heat Evil:

Summer-heat is a yang evil with a hot nature. When summer-heat evil affects someone, it typically presents a series of yang-heat symptoms such as high fever, restlessness, flushed face, and a flooding pulse. When summer-heat evil disturbs the heart and spirit, it causes mental restlessness and discomfort. With profuse sweating, qi often follows the loss of fluids, leading to qi deficiency. Therefore, those affected by summer-heat often experience shortness of breath and fatigue, and in severe cases may suddenly faint. Its clinical characteristics, besides fever, thirst, and other summer-heat symptoms, often include symptoms of dampness obstruction such as heaviness and fatigue in the limbs, chest stuffiness, and nausea.

Dampness Evil:

With dampness evil, one can often see symptoms such as a heavy sensation in the head as if wrapped, heaviness throughout the body, and soreness and heaviness in the limbs. Since dampness is a yin evil, and when yin prevails yang becomes diseased, its invasion of the body most easily damages yang qi. The spleen is yin earth, being the main organ for transforming water and dampness, preferring dryness and disliking dampness. Therefore, when external dampness is contracted and lingers in the body, it often first impairs the spleen, causing spleen yang to become deficient, losing its transforming power, resulting in water and dampness accumulation, manifesting as symptoms such as diarrhea, reduced urination, and edema.

Dryness Evil:

The pathway of dryness evil infection is mostly through the mouth and nose, invading the lung and defensive systems. Dryness evil is a pathogenic factor characterized by dryness and astringency, so external contraction of dryness evil most easily consumes the body's fluids, causing yin fluid deficiency, resulting in symptoms such as dry nose and mouth, dry throat and thirst, dry skin, and unhealthy hair. The lung is externally connected to the skin and hair and opens into the nose, so when dryness evil affects someone, it mostly enters through the mouth and nose, thus most easily damaging lung fluids and affecting the lung's functions of dispersing and descending, resulting in symptoms such as dry cough with little phlegm.

The seven emotions refer to joy, anger, worry, pensiveness, grief, fear, and fright - seven types of emotional changes that represent the body's mental state. The seven emotions are different reflections of the body to objective things, and under normal circumstances, they generally do not cause disease.

Only when sudden, intense, or long-lasting emotional stimulation exceeds the body's normal physiological activity range, causing the body's qi mechanism to become disordered and the organs' yin-yang qi-blood to become imbalanced, will it lead to the occurrence of disease.

Since it is one of the main pathogenic factors causing internal injury, it is also called "Internal Injury of Seven Emotions."

The seven emotions affect the qi mechanism of the organs: The "Plain Questions · Discussion of Pain" states: "Anger makes qi rise, joy makes qi relax, grief makes qi dissipate, fear makes qi descend... fright makes qi chaotic... pensiveness makes qi knotted."

Anger makes qi rise: This means excessive anger can cause liver qi to rise rebelliously and upward, blood follows the qi in reversal, and flows downward. Clinically, there are symptoms of qi reversal, flushed face, and red eyes.

Joy makes qi relax: This includes both relaxing tense emotions and dispersing heart qi. Under normal circumstances, joy can relieve mental tension, making the defensive and nutritive qi flow smoothly, and the mood pleasant. However, excessive sudden joy can cause heart qi to scatter, leading to absent-mindedness and symptoms such as lack of concentration.

Grief makes qi dissipate: This means excessive grief and sorrow can cause lung qi to be depressed, will to be dejected, and lung qi to be damaged.

Fear makes qi descend: This means excessive fear can cause kidney qi to become unfixed and qi to leak downward. Clinically, there may be symptoms of incontinence of urine and feces, or if fear persists, it can damage essence.

Fright makes qi chaotic: This means sudden fright causes the heart to have no support, the spirit to have no refuge, and thoughts to have no stability, resulting in panic.
