【纲要】张仲景说:阳明病,如果脉象浮而紧,必定出现潮热,且发作有定时;如果脉象仅见浮象,必定在睡时出汗(盗汗)。
【注释】朱肱说:脉浮伴有盗汗,可用黄芩汤,或者柴胡姜桂汤、桂枝茯苓白术汤。
王履说:盗汗,是指睡眠时出汗。入睡后胃气行于体内,体表的阳气不能固护,因此津液得以外泄。醒来后气机运行于体表,汗出便停止了。
楼英说:杂病中的盗汗,责之于阴虚;伤寒中的盗汗,是由于邪气在半表半里所致。如果邪气在表,则称为自汗。经文说:“轻微盗汗,反而恶寒的,说明表证未解。”另外,“阳明”应当属于里实证,但如果脉象浮,说必定盗汗,这是仍有表邪存在。这不像自汗那样有表里虚实的区别。
【纲要】张仲景说:三阳合病,脉象浮大,关部脉势向上,患者只想睡觉,闭上眼睛就出汗。
【注释】刘完素说:关脉用来候察少阳之气。太阳病的脉象浮,阳明病的脉象大。浮大的脉象上至关部,所以知道是三阳合病。胆热则嗜睡,少阴病也想要睡觉,闭眼就出汗。因为阴证不应该有汗,这里“只想睡觉,闭眼就出汗”,可知是三阳合病,胆中有热。可用小柴胡汤、泻心汤。
张元素说:有人问:这个症状都属于少阳,篇章中也可以使用小柴胡汤吗?回答说:可以使用。三阳合病,其邪气反映在脉象上:浮象代表太阳,大脉代表阳明,关部脉代表少阳。“只想睡觉,闭眼就出汗”,这是胆有热,脉象与症状相符,所以列在少阳篇之下。大概脉浮但没有相应症状不可发汗,脉大但没有相应症状不可攻下。浮大之脉都上至关部,可知是三阳合病且热在胆腑。胆位于半表半里,使用小柴胡汤也是恰当的。
[General Principle] Zhang Zhongjing stated: In Yangming disease, if the pulse is floating and tight, tidal fever (Chao Re) will certainly occur, with regular onset; if the pulse is merely floating, night sweats (Dao Han) will certainly occur during sleep.
[Commentary] Zhu Gong stated: For floating pulse accompanied by night sweats, Huangqin Tang (Scutellaria Decoction) may be used, or Chaihu Jianggui Tang (Bupleurum, Ginger, and Cinnamon Twig Decoction), Guizhi Fuling Baizhu Tang (Cinnamon Twig, Poria, and Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction).
Wang Lv stated: Night sweats refer to sweating during sleep. Upon falling asleep, Stomach Qi moves inward, and the defensive Yang Qi on the exterior fails to secure the surface, allowing body fluids (Jin Ye) to leak out. Upon waking, Qi circulates on the exterior, and sweating ceases.
Lou Ying stated: Night sweats in miscellaneous diseases are attributed to Yin deficiency; night sweats in Shanghan (Cold Damage) result from pathogenic factors located at the half-exterior and half-interior level. If the pathogen is on the exterior, it is termed spontaneous sweating (Zi Han). The Classic states: "Mild night sweats with aversion to cold indicate that the exterior syndrome has not yet resolved." Furthermore, Yangming disease typically pertains to interior excess patterns; however, if the pulse is floating and night sweats are predicted, this indicates the presence of residual exterior pathogens. This differs from spontaneous sweating, which has distinctions between exterior/interior and deficiency/excess.
[General Principle] Zhang Zhongjing stated: In combined disease of the Three Yangs, the pulse is floating and large, rising toward the Guan position. The patient desires sleep, and sweating occurs when closing the eyes.
[Commentary] Liu Wansu stated: The Guan pulse observes Shaoyang Qi. The Taiyang pulse is floating, and the Yangming pulse is large. A floating and large pulse rising to the Guan position indicates combined disease of the Three Yangs. Gallbladder heat causes drowsiness. In Shao Yin disease, there is also a desire to sleep, and sweating occurs upon closing the eyes. Since Yin syndromes should not present with sweating, the presentation of "desiring sleep and sweating upon closing eyes" indicates combined disease of the Three Yangs with heat in the Gallbladder. Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) and Xiexin Tang (Drain the Epigastrium Decoction) may be used.
Zhang Yuansu stated: Some ask: Since these symptoms belong to Shaoyang, can Xiao Chaihu Tang be used in this chapter? The answer is yes. In combined disease of the Three Yangs, the pathogen manifests in the pulse: the floating aspect corresponds to Taiyang, the large aspect to Yangming, and the Guan position to Shaoyang. "Desiring sleep and sweating upon closing eyes" indicates heat in the Gallbladder, where the pulse and symptoms correspond, hence it appears under the Shaoyang chapter. Generally, a floating pulse without corresponding symptoms precludes diaphoresis (Fahan), and a large pulse without corresponding symptoms precludes purgation (Xiafa). With both floating and large pulses rising to the Guan position, it is known to be combined disease of the Three Yangs with heat in the Gallbladder. As the Gallbladder resides at the half-exterior and half-interior level, using Xiao Chaihu Tang is appropriate.
