Features: Regarding the classification of diseases, the Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) divides febrile syndromes into five categories. In Neijing·Wuliuhua (The Fifty-Eighth Difficulty), it states: "There are five types of cold damage: cold damage with wind, cold damage with exterior contraction, damp-heat, heat disease, and warm disease. Each brings different sufferings." All external pathogens and infectious diseases are to the category of cold damage, so broadly speaking, cold damage encompasses many types of diseases.
