title: [Significance of Sijiseiki disease and Henseibyo disease on the Shanghanli chapter in the Shanghanlun].
abstract: It seemed that the chapter "Shanghanli" in Shanghaulun had been incorporated into the text of the Shanghanlun by "Wang shuhe". Therefore, the "Shanghanli" wasn't studied as adequately as the original Shanghanlun written by "Zhang Zhongjing. We focused on the significance of "Sijiseiki" disease and "Henseibyo" disease in the chapter "Shanghanli" and revealed their relation to the ideas on pathology in the Shanghanlun. In the theory of "Sijiki", the four seasons each had their own "Qi", called "Sijiki"; the cold belonging to winter, the warm to spring, the hot to summer and the cool to autumn. The influence of "Sijiki" in each season caused the disease of "Sijiseiki". Since "Sijiki" was related to the normal "Qi" for each season, "Sijiseiki" disease was expected to be recovered from in order. When "Sijiseiki" disease had not been cured in each season, it caused a complex disease according to the influence of other seasonal "Sijiki"; "Henseibyo" disease.
