Provisioning-defense disharmony

Exterior patterns characterized by spontaneous sweating and occurring in one of two forms:

• strong defense and weak provisioning, where yáng qì is depressed in the fleshy exterior and forces sweat out of the pores, giving rise to sweating whenever, but only when, heat effusion occurs; and
• weak defense and strong provisioning, characterized by spontaneous sweating without heat effusion, where sweat flows forth unconstrained by defense qì.
