子未室,何肾虚之有?参、 补气,奚为用之?余述丹溪先生云∶肾主闭藏,肝主疏泄,二脏
俱有相火,而其系上属于心,心为君火,为物所感则易动于心,心动则相火翕然而随,虽不交

药健脾肺之气,而嘘血归源耳!后率其子以师余,余曰∶管见已行于世矣,子宜览之。

南银台许函谷,因为劳累发热口渴,小便自遗(不受控制地流出),有时闭塞涩痛。我将此症辨为肝火兼血虚,导致阴器挺举而不能约束。午前服用补中益气汤加入山药、山茱萸,午后服用地黄丸,月余后所有症状全部消退。

一名童子,十四岁,发热吐血。我认为应该用补中益气汤来滋生化之源。他不相信,用寒凉降火的药物,病情反而加重。开始他问我:“童子未娶妻,怎么会有肾虚?人参、黄芪补气,为什么要用?”我转述丹溪先生的话:“肾主闭藏,肝主疏泄,这两脏都含有相火,而其经络上属于心。心为君火,被外物感应就容易动于心,心动则相火随之翕然而起,虽然不交合,精气也会暗中消耗。”又《精血篇》说:“男子精气未满而御女以通其精,则五脏有不满足的地方,日后会有难以形容的疾病。”于是用补中益气汤及地黄丸而病愈。

Wang Hanzhai, Vice Minister of Personnel, presented with dizziness and white turbidity in urine. I treated him with Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) added with Fuling (Poria) and Banxia (Pinellia Rhizome). The illness was cured but later relapsed with lower back pain. I then used Shanyao (Dioscorea Rhizome), Shanzhuyu (Cornus Fruit), Wuweizi (Schisandra Fruit), Bibai (Dioscorea Hypoglauca Rhizome), and Yuanzhi (Polygala Root), resulting in immediate recovery. Later, due to mental overexertion, he experienced night sweats and white turbidity in urine. He was cured using Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) added with Wuweizi. Subsequently, he suffered from intermittent vertigo, which was completely cured by Bayi Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia).
Xu Hanggu, Southern Censorate Attendant, developed fever and thirst due to fatigue, accompanied by involuntary urination or occasional urinary retention and dysuria. I diagnosed this as Liver Fire combined with Blood Deficiency, causing flaccidity of the genitalia without control. In the morning, he took Buzhong Yiqi Tang added with Shanyao and Shanzhuyu; in the afternoon, he took Dihuang Wan (Rehmannia Pill). After more than a month, all symptoms subsided.
Chen Shijing, Department Hall Official, suffered from chronic white turbidity in urine, fever, and body fatigue. I prescribed Buzhong Yiqi Tang added with Paojiang (Prepared Ginger). After four doses, the turbidity slightly stopped. Then, Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) was taken concurrently, leading to complete recovery of all symptoms.
Chai Fu'an, Guanglu Temple Official, developed red and white turbidity in urine due to fatigue. He was cured by alternately taking Jisheng Guipi Tang (Guipi Decoction for Saving Life) and Shiquan Dabu Tang (Perfect Ten Great Tonifying Decoction).
Zhan Lianzhai, Department Hall Official, presented with swelling and pain in the genitalia, alternating chills and fever. If abdominal pain occurred, white fluid would discharge from the urethra. He was cured using Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Blue-Green Decoction) added with Zhizi (Gardenia Fruit), Dancao (Gentiana Root), Zhuyu (Evodia Fruit), Xiong (Ligusticum Rhizome), and Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root).
Zhu Gongbu, Ministry of Works Official, experienced spermatorrhea upon exertion, followed immediately by toothache. I treated him with Buzhong Yiqi Tang added with Banxia, Fuling, and Shaoyao (Peony Root), along with Dihuang Wan. His condition gradually improved. He was finally cured by adding Maimendong (Ophiopogon Tuber) and Wuweizi to Shiquan Dabu Tang.
A male patient presented with white turbidity in urine and nocturnal emission, dry mouth and thirst, constipation, and severe fever in the afternoon. He was cured using Buzhong Yiqi Tang added with Shaoyao and Xuanshen (Scrophularia Root), along with Jiajian Bayi Wan (Modified Eight-Ingredient Pill).
Another male patient presented with pain in the penis, discharge of white fluid, difficult urination, and occasional itching. He was cured after two doses of Xiaochaihu Tang added with Zhizi, Zexie (Alisma Rhizome), Chailian (Fried Scutellaria Root), Mutong (Akebia Stem), Dancao, and Fuling. He was further cured by concurrently taking Dihuang Wan.
One male patient presented with fever, hematochezia (blood in stool), and seminal emission. Another presented with hematuria (blood in urine) and fever. A third presented with fever, spermatorrhea, and occasional urinary incontinence. All were attributed to Kidney Meridian Deficiency. They were cured using Dihuang Wan and Yiqi Tang (Qi-Tonifying Decoction) to nourish the source of transformation and generation.
A male patient who had been widowed for several years and was usually hardworking, presented with hematemesis (vomiting blood), fever, and irritability upon exertion. After taking Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhino Horn and Rehmannia Decoction), he developed shortness of breath with wheezing, and his previous symptoms worsened, accompanied by spermatorrhea and white turbidity. He appeared fatigued, had poor appetite, and his pulse was large and forceful even when pressed deeply. I treated him with Shiquan Dabu Tang added with Maimendong, Wuweizi, Shanzhuyu, and Shanyao, resulting in recovery.
Yang Qiyuan, a scholar, who was usually hardworking, presented with hematemesis, spasms, and loss of consciousness. I diagnosed this as Spleen and Stomach Deficiency and Damage. He was cured using Shiquan Dabu Tang and Jiajian Bayi Wan. Guipi Tang was then used to stop the bleeding.
A scholar, due to dietary irregularities, physical labor, and anger, experienced loss of eyebrows and hair. I diagnosed this as damage to essence and blood due to fatigue, causing Yin Fire to flare upward. He was treated with Buzhong Yiqi Tang added with Maimendong and Wuweizi, and Liuwei Dihuang Wan added with Wuweizi. His eyebrows and hair grew back instantly as before.
A twenty-year-old male patient had lost all his scalp hair. He was treated with Liuwei Dihuang Wan. Within a few days, hair grew one cun long, and within two months, it returned to normal. Shi Wanhu of Wujiang stated: There are cases where men and women engage in sexual intercourse occasionally, leading to loss of eyebrows and hair, without medicinal treatment, which regrows after several months.
A fourteen-year-old boy presented with fever and hematemesis. I advised using Buzhong Yiqi Tang to nourish the source of transformation and generation. Disbelieving this, he used cold-natured fire-clearing medicines, which worsened his condition. He initially asked me, "The boy is unmarried, how can there be Kidney Deficiency? Why use Renshen (Ginseng) and Huangqi (Astragalus) to tonify Qi?" I quoted Master Danxi: "The Kidney governs storage, and the Liver governs dispersion. Both viscera contain Ministerial Fire, whose meridians connect upwards to the Heart. The Heart is the Sovereign Fire. When affected by external stimuli, the Heart moves easily; when the Heart moves, Ministerial Fire rises spontaneously. Even without sexual intercourse, essence is secretly consumed." Furthermore, the *Jingxue Pian* (Chapter on Essence and Blood) states: "If a man whose essence is not yet full engages in intercourse to release it, the five viscera will have unmet needs, leading to difficult-to-describe diseases in later years." Thus, he was cured using Buzhong Yiqi Tang and Dihuang Wan.
A male patient presented with cough, hematemesis, heat-thirst, profuse phlegm, night sweats, and spermatorrhea. He was cured using Dihuang Wan formula added with Maimendong and Wuweizi. Later, due to fatigue and anger, he suddenly vomited purple blood clots. He was first treated with Huarui Shi San (Flower Ochre Stone Powder) and then with Dushen Tang (Single Ginseng Decoction), gradually recovering. Later, upon exertion, he vomited one or two mouthfuls of blood. The pulses of the Spleen, Lung, and Kidney were all rapid and large. He was cured using Buzhong Yiqi Tang and Liuwei Dihuang Wan.
In the summer of the Xinchou year, while at the residence of Neihan Tu in Jiaxing, I met the fortune-teller Zhang Donggu. While discussing fate in the courtyard, he vomited one or two mouthfuls of blood, stating he had suffered from this for a long time, triggered by fatigue. I reasoned that this was Lung Qi deficiency due to fatigue, causing scattered blood, which proved true. I prescribed Buzhong Yiqi Tang added with Maimendong, Wuweizi, Shanyao, Shudihuang (Prepared Rehmannia Root), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), and Yuanzhi. He recovered after taking it. The next morning, he visited me and said, "Every time I take medicines like Siwu Tang (Four Substance Decoction), Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome), or Zhizi, my bleeding increases and fatigue worsens. Today, with just one dose from you, my bleeding stopped instantly, and my spirit returned to normal. Why?" I replied, "The Spleen controls blood, and the Lung governs Qi. This is Spleen and Lung damage due to fatigue, causing reckless blood movement. Therefore, I used the aforementioned medicines to tonify Spleen and Lung Qi, guiding the blood back to its source." Later, he brought his son to study under me. I said, "My insights are already published in the world; you should read them."
