In the cold-damage (Shanghan) tradition, Taiyin disease (太阴病) is a three-yin six-meridian (liu jing) disease-category in the Treatise on Cold Damage (《伤寒论》). Its outline pattern (提纲证, Song art. 273) is abdominal fullness with vomiting, reduced food intake, worsening spontaneous diarrhea, and intermittent abdominal pain — an interior cold-deficiency stage traditionally linked to the spleen. A historical pattern-category for reference, not a diagnostic or treatment guide.
