The topic of this study is the translation of [Byun Jeung Rok vol.V(辨證錄四卷)]. Byun Jeung Rok is a complete book of medicine which was written by Jin Sa tak(陳士鐸) in the early years of the Ching dynasty. Of this, the fourth volume is composed of 12 disease-patterns(病症) and 54 subtopics. Byun Jeung Rok(辨證錄), as a book that completely organized the medical knowhow of the Ming Dynasty, explains disease-patterns(病症) through the unique and outstanding perspective of the individual author. This topic was studied in hopes of helping later students by showing to the world, through its translation, the author's understanding of disease pattern. The organized characteristics of [Byun Jeung Rok vol.V(辨證錄四卷)] is as follows. 1. For each symptom, the state, cause and prescription for the disease was explained in detail. It was written primarily based on experience. Because the explanations are clear, it is easy to understand. 2. The theory and actual application of Yin yang and five phases is amazing. The actual cause and actual treatment was indicated clearly. 3. In relation to physiology and pathology, the relation between the liver and gall bladder in the middle(between the heart and kidney). In relation to treatment, the tonifying method was never excluded.

In this chapter 8, I discuss a running piglet disease(奔豚氣病), its causes, symptoms and prescription. The name of the running piglet(奔豚) disease dates back to old times, and it is not clinically reported these days. The symptoms of the running piglet disease(奔豚氣病) is characterized by unberable pain in the lower abdomen, the chest and the throat, followed by complete disappearance of these symptoms with passage of time. In my view, the causes of the running piglet disease(奔豚氣病) can be divided into three categories: startle and panic, and the excessive fluid(水飮). In this chapter 13, I elaborate on three diseases: a wasting-thirst(消渴), a dribbling urination(小便不利),1)a strangury disease(淋病). I discuss these three diseases in one chapter because they share the same symptoms of thirst and abnormal urination and the symptoms occur mainly in the kidney(腎) and the urinary bladder(膀胱). A wasting-thirst(消渴) has the main symptoms of drinking water and eating food excessively as well as urinating a lot. A disease symptomized by thirst(消渴) is typically divided into upper wasting-thirst(上消), middle wasting-thirst(中消), and lower wasting-thirst(下消) by clinicians. Specifically, I discuss the mechanism of disease of upper wasting-thirst(上消) and lower wasting-thirst(下消), treatment principles of and prescriptions for upper wasting-thirst(上消) and lower wasting-thirst(下消), and pathology of middle wasting-thirst(中消) in this chapter. Based on the view that a dribbling urination(小便不利) is not a disease per se but a label for the symptom of short and insufficient urination, I discuss water amassment syndrome(蓄水證), yang bringtness disease pattern(陽明病), and a dribbling urination(小便不利) that is accompanied by various diseases. A strangury disease(淋病) has the main symptoms of insufficient and trickling urination that is often accompanied by pain perception. In this chapter, I discuss about stone strangury(石淋) in particular. These three diseases merit in-depth discussion since they are clinically observed with high frequency.
