                                  1. From Warring States onwards the most current general word for illness was bìng 病, but in earlier times the word referred even more generally to troubles and difficulties of many kinds. This archaic usage did continue into later usage. When used specifically, bìng 病 refers to a lasting long-term medical condition. Interestingly, mental/emotional conditions tend to be bìng 病, perhaps because they are taken to be lasting and not acute.

                                  2. Jí 疾 is the oldest general word for illness, from OBI times onwards, and often this word continues to be used in this generalised way. But sometimes the word comes to refer more specifically to an acute short-term medical condition, adjectivally in jí bìng 疾病, and especially a change in medical condition, that can be very serious but is not normally construed as chronic. (Seasonal epidemiological conditions are also jí 疾.)

                                  3. Yàng 恙 is largely restricted to the common idiomatic formula wú yàng 無恙 "be in good health" and sometimes yǒu yàng 有恙 "have medical problems".

                                  4. Lì 癘 often refers to pest and the like, and comes to refer to any very serious disease. For specific meanings see also ILLNESSES.

                                    ILLNESS

                                    aeger is the general term for any mental or physical state of ill health.

                                    aegrotus indicates physical bad health in humans.

                                    morbidus indicates physical bad health primarily in animals.

                                    morbus views sickness as an external factor or phenomenon.

                                    valetudo as a (typically subjective) state of health of a person.

                                    invaletudo refers to a slight indisposition.

                                    1. WL 二字同義. WL rightly rejects the traditional opinion that bi4ng 病 is more serious than ji2 疾 by pointing out that ji2 疾 can certainly be mortal. In fact, the main difference is that bi4ng 病 primarily refers to a lasting medical condition, whereas ji2 疾 refers to an acute medical condition.

                                    Now it is quite true that there are instances where the two words seem to be used interchangeably, as in
