某氏长期患有痛经。气血运行不够流畅。突然遭受暴怒损伤肝脏。少腹部的冲气上逆侵犯肺部导致咳嗽。伴有寒热交替、声音嘶哑。胁肋部拘急不舒。没有饥饿感且无法进食。这是左升右降的气机无法正常转旋，导致违背了胃气下行顺应的原则。所以肝的功能宜疏泄，胃腑宜通降，这是固定的法则。
又：服用威喜丸。
唐姓患者因过度劳累导致内伤。脘腹部闷胀、胁肋胀痛。呕吐且有格拒现象（食入即吐）。眩晕无法躺卧。阳气挟带内风风暴般张狂。恐怕其会突然发生厥证。议定通降胃气、平抑肝阳的方法。
江姓患者按压疼痛加剧属实证。患眼病来归属于肝。疼痛必然伴随呕吐。大便秘结涩滞。肝病波及胃腑。应当用苦辛之法泄降。稍加酸味药物。
顾姓（五十岁）阳明脉气衰弱。身体畏寒。痞满。有饥饿感但不想吃东西。心痛。腹泻如水且兼有呕吐。
某患者因劳累和愤怒损伤阳气。气逆血郁导致疼痛。出现痞胀、大便溏薄。风气木邪侮犯脾土。前方既然有效，给予通补阳明和厥阴的方药。大半夏汤去掉蜂蜜，加入桃仁、柏子仁、当归、生姜、大枣，制成汤剂或丸剂。
某患者脉象微小虚弱，这是阳气已经衰微。今年太阴湿土司天，长夏时节湿热泄于气分。不能进食、运化无力。味道变为酸苦。脾胃先受到困阻。稍微涉及嗔怒，木气乘袭土中，更加不安。从李东垣培土制木的方法治疗。
席姓患者大便未成形。腹中仍然疼痛。进食后有想排便的感觉。胃阳尚未恢复。肝木因为时令原因依然横逆。使用泄木安土的方法。（肝脾胃）

又：动怒后，脘下疼痛，不能饮食，这是肝厥侵犯脾胃。病势向外生出枝节。最不是善于调理的道理。理气药物大多破泄，难以使用。议制定制进平抑肝木、益养胃土的方法。

肝是风木之脏，又是将军之官。其性质急躁而好动。所以肝脏的疾病，比其他脏腑更多。而在妇女身上尤为严重。
肝病必定会犯及脾土，这是侮其所胜（反向克制）。本脏的表现症状，张仲景说：厥阴病的表现是消渴，气上撞心，心中疼热，饥饿但不想吃东西，吃东西则吐蛔虫，如果用攻下法会导致腹泻不止。另外《内经》所载的肝病，难以全部叙述。大凡其脉象必定弦硬。胁肋或胀或疼，偏寒偏热，先厥冷后发热。如果一旦犯胃，则恶心干呕，脘腹痞满不想吃东西，吐酸水涎沫。克伐脾脏则腹胀，大便或溏薄，或不爽利，四肢冰冷肌肤麻木。案中的治法，有阴阳虚实之分。略举并叙述如下。如果肝阴胃阴没有亏损，肝阳亢逆犯胃，先生立法，用药则远离柔润而用刚燥。泄肝如吴茱萸、花椒、肉桂；通胃如半夏、姜汁、姜附。加上益智、枳实、厚朴等，则兼运脾阳。中焦虚损必须用人参。所以大半夏汤、附子粳米汤、进退黄连汤、泻心法、治中法、温胆汤等就是这类方剂。如果肝阴胃汁已经虚亏，木火炽盛，风阳扰胃，用药忌讳刚燥而用柔润。养肝则用阿胶、生地、白芍、麻仁、木瓜；养胃则用人参、麦冬、知母、粳米、秫米等就是这类方剂。至于平和治理的方法，则刚柔寒热兼用。乌梅丸、安胃丸、逍遥散。若四君、六君、异功、戊己汤等，则必须加入泄肝的药物。使用桑叶、丹皮的，先生说：桑叶轻清，清泄少阳之气热；丹皮苦辛，清泄肝胆之血热。使用金铃子散的，川楝子苦寒，直泄肝阳；延胡索专门调理气滞血涩之痛。这些都是医案中的纲领。我另外分出这一门类的，是因为呕吐不食、胁胀脘痞等症状，恐怕医生只认为是脾胃的病，不知道实际上是由肝邪所致。所以特意揭示出来，以唤醒后人的目光。而且世人只知道风、劳、臌、膈是四大重症，不知道土败木贼（脾虚肝乘），肝气日益横逆，脾胃日益败坏，拖延至不可救治的情况很多。能不研究于此吗？（华岫云评）
徐评：诸案大体都是胸痹痞满，以及痰饮内蓄的症状。治疗痞痹的方剂，最忌讳用人参。而这里想要通过壮土来制木，使用的人参很多。必定会有遗留的病患。至于蓄痰症，完全没有提及，尤其属于辨证不清。其中精思巧意，中病的地方颇多，也是得失参半。

A certain female patient has suffered from dysmenorrhea for a long time. The Qi and Blood are not flowing smoothly. Sudden severe anger injured the Liver. The rushing Qi in the lower abdomen rebels upward and invades the Lung, causing cough. Accompanied by alternating chills and fever, hoarseness of voice, and tension in the hypochondrium. No appetite and inability to eat. This indicates that the ascending on the left and descending on the right cannot rotate properly, leading to a violation of the principle that Stomach Qi should descend smoothly. Therefore, the function of the Liver should be vented/discharged, and the Stomach organ should be unblocked and descending; this is a fixed rule.

Since the previous formula was effective, provide a method to unblock and tonify Yangming and Jueyin. Dabansha Tang, remove honey, add Tao Ren, Bai Zi Ren, Dang Gui, Sheng Jiang, Da Zao, decoct as soup or make into pills.
A certain patient: Pulse is minute, small, and weak. This indicates Yang Qi is already declining. This year, Taiyin governs the sky. In midsummer, heat leaks into the Qi level.

The Liver is the organ of Wind-Wood, and also the General Officer. Its nature is urgent and active. Therefore, diseases of the Liver are more numerous than those of other organs, especially in women.
Liver disease must invade Earth, which is insulting what it overcomes (reverse restriction). The symptoms of the primary organ, Zhang Zhongjing said: The disease of Jueyin involves thirst, Qi rushing up to strike the heart, pain and heat in the heart, hunger but no desire to eat, vomiting roundworms after eating, and if purged, diarrhea will not stop. Also, the liver diseases recorded in Neijing cannot be fully described. Generally, the pulse must be wiry. Hypochondrium may be distended or painful, biased towards cold or heat, first Jue (cold extremities) then heat. If it once invades the Stomach, then nausea, dry heaving, epigastric fullness, no desire to eat, vomiting sour water and saliva. Insulting the Spleen causes abdominal distension, stool may be loose, or不爽 (not smooth), cold limbs, numb skin. The treatment methods in the cases differ in Yin/Yang and Deficiency/Excess. Briefly listed and narrated as follows. If Liver Yin and Stomach Yin are not deficient, but Liver Yang is hyperactive and invading the Stomach, Mr. Ye's legislation uses medicine that avoids softness and uses rigidity. To vent the Liver, use Wu Zhu Yu, Jiao (Sichuan Pepper), Gui (Cinnamon); to unblock the Stomach, use Ban Xia, Ginger Juice, Jiang Fu (Ginger and Aconite). Adding Yi Zhi, Zhi (Immature Bitter Orange), Po (Magnolia Bark) simultaneously transports Spleen Yang. For Middle Jiao deficiency, Ren Shen must be used. Thus Dabansha Tang, Fuzi Jingmi Tang, Tuijin Huanglian Tang, Xiexin Fa, Zhizhong Fa, Wendan Tang, etc., are these types. If Liver Yin and Stomach fluid are already deficient, Wood-Fire is blazing, Wind-Yang disturbs the Stomach, medication should avoid rigidity and use softness. To nourish the Liver, use E Jiao, Sheng Di, Bai Shao, Ma Ren, Mu Gua; to nourish the Stomach, use Ren Shen, Mai Dong, Zhi Mu, Jing Mi, Shu Mi, etc., are these types. As for the method of peaceful treatment, rigidity and softness, cold and heat are used together. Wumei Wan, Anwei Wan, Xiaoyao San. If Sijunzi, Liu Junzi, Yigong, Jiufang Tang, etc., must add products that vent the Liver. Those using Sang Ye and Dan Pi, Mr. Ye said: Sang Ye is light and clear, clearing and venting Shaoyang Qi-heat; Dan Pi is bitter and pungent, clearing and venting Liver-Gallbladder Blood-heat. Using Jinlingzi San, Chuan Lian Zi is bitter and cold, directly venting Liver Yang; Yan Hu Suo specializes in regulating Qi stagnation and Blood sluggishness pain. These are all the outlines in the cases. I separated this category separately because symptoms such as vomiting, inability to eat, hypochondriac distension, and epigastric fullness, doctors might only consider them Spleen-Stomach diseases, not knowing they are actually caused by Liver pathogenic factors. So I specially reveal them to awaken the eyes of later generations. Moreover, people only know Feng, Lao, Gu, Ge as the four major serious illnesses, not knowing that when Earth fails and Wood attacks, Liver Qi becomes rampant day by day, Spleen and Stomach decline day by day, delaying until incurable cases are many. Can one not study this? (Hua Xiuyun)
Xu Ping: Most cases are basically Chest Bi (obstruction) and fullness, as well as symptoms of internal accumulation of Phlegm-Fluid. Formulas for treating Bi and fullness strictly forbid Ren Shen. But here, the intention is to strengthen Earth to control Wood, so Ren Shen is used very often. There must be residual diseases. Regarding Phlegm accumulation, it is not mentioned at all, which particularly belongs to unclear syndrome differentiation. Among them, there are many places of profound thought and clever intent that hit the target, but it is also half gain and half loss.
