According to Huangdi Neijing, the six excessive atmospheirc influences has two different implications. Firstly, its deficiency or untimeliness of six atmospheric phenomena, which is wind, cold,summer heat, dampness, dryness and fire. Secondly, it also classifies the symptoms and sign of disease of human being as such six types similar with the above atmospheric phenomena.
