There are many doubts about “Female Overloading Jaundice” in the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. Some physicians explained “Female overloading jaundice” There are many doubts about “Female Overloading Jaundice” in the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. Some physicians explained “Female overloading jaundice” literally as female having excessive sexual activities. Others considered the word “female” as pleonasm so “Female overloading jaundice” should be revised to “overloading jaundice”. The confusion of interpretations by physicians has affected clinical practicability. This article revises the clauses by using symmetry between clauses, scripture grammar, and collation of related classics. Also, comparing the clauses with the concept of modern medicine to make the clauses closer to clinical use. After the revision, the author considers: 1. The scripture of “Female Overloading Jaundice” is not belong to Chapter XV:Jaundice, it should return to Chapter XXII:Miscellaneous Gynecological Diseases. 2. Redefinition of “Female Overloading Jaundice” means that female overloading leads to premature ovarian insufficiency or failure, which induces pigmentation in the cheekbones of the face and forehead. 3.Therefore, “Female Overloading Jaundice” does not mean that women have jaundice caused by excessive intercourse or indulging in lust.
