方剂组成：附子、芍药、甘草、麻黄（各三钱）；桂枝、白术、知母、防风（各四钱）；生姜（五钱）。
以上九味药，用水二杯半，煎煮至八分满时服用，日夜共服三次。
方解：使用桂枝汤去掉大枣并加入麻黄，以助通阳；加入白术、防风以舒展脾气；加入附子、知母，以调和阴阳；多用生姜以平息呕逆。
资寿解语汤：治疗中风引起的脾缓（肌肉松弛无力），舌体僵硬，不能言语，半身不遂。其立意与地黄饮子相同，但地黄饮子重在补肾，此方重在补脾。
方剂组成：羌活（五分）、防风、附子、羚羊角、天麻、酸枣仁（各一钱）；肉桂（八分）；炙甘草（五分）。
用水二杯，煎煮至八分满，加入竹沥五钱、生姜汁二钱调匀后服用。
喻嘉言指出：若肾气不能上连于舌本，可加枸杞、首乌、天冬、菊花、石菖蒲、玄参。
清暑益气汤：暑即是热。肺主气，热盛则气泄，如同暑气旺盛时金（肺）气收藏不足。因此清暑必须益气，适用于内伤劳倦及夏秋季节伏气温病。
方剂组成：黄芪（汗少者减半）、苍术（用米泔水浸泡）、升麻（各一钱）；人参（去芦头）、泽泻、橘皮、神曲（炒）、白术（土炒），各五分；麦冬（去心）、当归身、甘草（炙），各三分；葛根、黄柏（酒浸去皮），各二分；五味子（九粒）；青皮（去瓤），一分半。

近效白术汤：治疗风虚证，头重、眩晕痛苦，极度不知食物味道。能温暖肌肤，补中益气填精。
方剂组成：白术（四钱）、附子（一钱五分）、甘草（一钱）。
加生姜二片、红枣二枚，用水煎煮。
喻嘉言说：“此方治疗肾气空虚之人，外风侵入肾脏，恰似在黑洞之中，阴风凄惨，昼夜不息。风挟带肾中的浊阴之气，厥逆上攻头部，导致头部沉重眩晕的痛苦，极其难以忍受，兼有胃气也虚弱，不知食物味道。所以方中完全不用祛风药，只用附子温暖水脏（肾），白术、甘草温暖土脏（脾），水土一旦温暖，则浊阴之气全部趋向于下，而头部苦重眩晕及不知食物味道的症状就消除了。所谓‘益精气’，是因为既然知道了食物味道，自然能多吃，精气由谷气产生。”
温脾汤：治疗肠胃间有顽固冷邪，导致泄泻腹痛，应当先攻逐去除冷邪，然后调理治疗，不可因为畏惧虚弱而迁延养病。
方剂组成：附子、干姜、甘草、桂心、浓朴（各二钱）；大黄（四分）。
用水二杯，煎煮至六分满服用。
喻嘉言说：“许叔微制定此方，深得张仲景用温药攻下的法度。方中大黄一味，如果不使用，温药必然不能下行，而久留的邪气，不攻逐就不能去除。如果用量过多，恐怕温药不能制约，导致洞泄可能加重，斟酌用量使用，真是值得效法的。”

以上十二味药按规定炮制配合，另外将川贝研成细末，等药煎好后，冲入同服，引用生姜三片，空腹服用。
此方全用“撑”法，当归、川芎、白芍是养血活血的，浓朴是去除瘀血的，用它来撑开血脉，使恶露不至于堵塞；羌活、荆芥疏通太阳经，从背后一撑，太阳经脉最长，太阳经通畅，则诸经皆通；枳壳疏理结聚之气，从面前一撑，使胎气收敛抑制，而没有阻滞的担忧；艾叶温暖子宫，撑动子宫，则胞胎灵动；贝母、菟丝子最能滑胎顺气，将胎气整体一撑，大具天然活泼的情趣了；加黄芪，是为了撑扶元气，元气旺盛，则转动有力；生姜通神明，去秽恶，散寒止呕，是为了撑扶正气，而安和胃气；甘草协和诸药，使其左右适宜，而保全撑法的神妙。此方许多人不得其解，程山龄的注解独超群，故全文录之。

凉膈散：治疗上焦积热，烦躁、面赤、头昏、咽痛、喉痹、口疮、颊肿、便溺闷赤、谵妄、睡卧不安（一切风壅）。

魏念庭说：“人的元气在肺，人的阳气在肾，既已剥削，则难于遽复矣，全赖后天之谷气资益其生。是荣卫非脾胃不能通宣，而气血非饮食无由平复也。仲景故为虚劳诸不足而兼风气百疾，立此薯蓣丸之法，方中以薯蓣为主，专理脾胃，上损下损，至此可以撑持，以人参、白术、茯苓、干姜、豆黄卷、大枣、神曲、甘草助之，除湿益气，而中土之令得行矣，以当归、芎、芍药、地黄、麦冬、阿胶养血滋阴，以柴胡、桂枝、防风去邪散热，以杏仁、桔梗、白蔹下气开郁。惟恐虚而有热之人，滋补之药，上拒不受，故为散其邪热，开其逆郁，而气血平顺，补益得纳，为至当不易之道也。”

尤氏说：“风气不去，则足以贼正气，而长生不荣，故薯蓣丸为要方，干血不去，则足以留新血，而渗灌不周，此丸为上剂。”

故地统于天，形以承气，故地以承天。胃、土也、坤之类也；气，阳也，干之属也。胃为十二经之长，化糟粕，运精微，而成传化之府，岂专以块然之形，亦惟乘此干行不息之气耳。
汤名承气，确有此义，非取顺气之义也。”宪公此解超出前人，惜其所着者《伤寒类疏》未刊行世。宪公讳孝铭，古吴人也。
半夏泻心汤：治疗伤寒五、六日，呕而发热者，柴胡证俱在，而以他药下之，柴胡证仍在者复与柴胡汤，此虽以下之不为逆，必蒸蒸而振，却发热汗出而解。若心下满而硬痛者，此为痞，柴胡不当与之，宜此方主之。
Guizhi Shaoyao Zhimu Tang (Cinnamon Twig, Peony, and Anemarrhena Decoction): Treats various joint pains, emaciation of the body, swelling of the feet as if detached, dizziness, shortness of breath, and nausea with desire to vomit.
Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root), Shaoyao (White Peony Root), Gancao (Licorice Root), Mahuang (Ephedra Herb) (each 3 qian); Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Zhimu (Anemarrhena Rhizome), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root) (each 4 qian); Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) (5 qian).
The above nine herbs are decocted in 2.5 cups of water until reduced to 0.8 cup. Take orally, three times a day, both day and night.
This formula uses Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) with Jujube removed and Mahuang added to assist in unblocking Yang; adds Baizhu and Fangfeng to extend Spleen Qi; adds Fuzi and Zhimu to harmonize Yin and Yang; uses more Shengjiang to calm vomiting and rebellious Qi.
Zishou Jieyu Tang (Zishou Unbinding Speech Decoction): Treats wind-stroke causing Spleen flaccidity, stiff tongue, inability to speak, and hemiplegia. Its intent is similar to Dihuang Yinzi (Rehmannia Decoction for Quenching Thirst), but while Dihuang Yinzi focuses on the Kidney, this formula focuses on the Spleen.
Qianghuo (Notopterygium Rhizome) (0.5 qian), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root), Lingyangjiao (Saiga Antelope Horn), Tianma (Gastrodia Rhizome), Suanzaoren (Ziziphus Seed) (each 1 qian); Rougui (Cinnamon Bark) (0.8 qian); Zhigancao (Honey-fried Licorice Root) (0.5 qian).
Decoct in 2 cups of water until reduced to 0.8 cup. Add Zhuli (Bamboo Juice) 5 qian and Shengjiangzhi (Ginger Juice) 2 qian, mix well, and take orally.
Yu Jiayan stated: If Kidney Qi fails to circulate to the root of the tongue, add Gouqi (Lycium Fruit), Shouwu (Polygonum Multiflorum Root), Tiandong (Asparagus Tuber), Juhua (Chrysanthemum Flower), Shichangpu (Acorus Rhizome), and Xuanshen (Scrophularia Root).
Qingshu Yiqi Tang (Clear Summerheat and Augment Qi Decoction): Summerheat is heat. The Lung governs Qi; excessive heat causes Qi leakage, just as excessive summerheat damages Metal (Lung). Therefore, clearing summerheat must augment Qi. It applies to internal injury from fatigue and summerheat latent in late summer and autumn.
Huangqi (Astragalus Root) (reduce by half if sweating is scant), Cangzhu (Atractylodes Lancea Rhizome) (soaked in rice water), Shengma (Cimicifuga Rhizome) (each 1 qian); Renshen (Ginseng Root), Zexie (Alisma Rhizome), Jupi (Tangerine Peel), Shenqu (Medicated Leaven) (stir-fried), Baizhu (Earth-fried Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) (each 0.5 qian); Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Dangshen (Codonopsis Root), Gancao (Honey-fried Licorice Root) (each 0.3 qian); Gegen (Pueraria Root), Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark) (wine-soaked, skin removed) (each 0.2 qian); Wuweizi (Schisandra Berry) (9 grains); Qingpi (Green Tangerine Peel) (pith removed) (0.75 qian).
Decoct in 2 cups of water until reduced to 0.8 cup. Take orally long after meals.
Jinxiao Baizhu Tang (Jinxiao Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction): Treats wind-deficiency syndrome characterized by heavy head, painful vertigo, and extreme loss of taste. It warms the muscles, tonifies the Middle, augments Qi, and fills essence.
Baizhu (4 qian), Fuzi (1.5 qian), Gancao (1 qian).
Add 2 slices of Shengjiang and 2 Hongzao (Jujubes), decoct in water, and take orally.
Yu Jiayan said: "This formula treats individuals with empty Kidney Qi, where external wind enters the Kidney, resembling cold, bleak winds blowing ceaselessly day and night in a dark cave. The wind carries turbid Yin Qi from the Kidney, rebelling upward, causing unbearable heaviness and vertigo in the head. Accompanied by deficient Stomach Qi and loss of taste, the formula uses no wind-dispelling herbs. Instead, it uses Fuzi to warm the Water Organ (Kidney), and Baizhu and Gancao to warm the Earth Organ (Spleen). Once Water and Earth are warmed, turbid Yin Qi descends, resolving the heavy vertigo and loss of taste. 'Augmenting essence and Qi' refers to the fact that once taste returns, appetite increases, and essence is generated from grain."
Wenpi Tang (Warm the Intestines Decoction): Treats stubborn cold accumulation in the intestines and stomach causing diarrhea and abdominal pain. One should first purge the cold accumulation before regulating; do not nourish the disease out of fear of deficiency.
Fuzi, Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), Gancao, Guixin (Cinnamon Twig Heart), Nongpo (Magnolia Bark) (each 2 qian); Dahuang (Rhubarb Root) (0.4 qian).
Decoct in 2 cups of water until reduced to 0.6 cup. Take orally.
Yu Jiayan said: "Xu Shumi formulated this decoction, deeply aligning with Zhang Zhongjing's method of purging with warm herbs. In this formula, Dahuang is essential; without it, the warm herbs cannot descend, and lingering pathogens cannot be expelled. Using too much may overwhelm the warm herbs, potentially worsening diarrhea. Judicious use is truly worthy of emulation."
Jishi Li (Chicken Dropping Fermented Liquid): Treats鼓胀 (Drum Distension / Abdominal Tympanites).
Jishi (Chicken Droppings) (dried, 5 he; those from mountains are superior).
Grind into fine powder. Take 5 qian each time, mixed with wine after meals.
Baihe Tang (Lily Bulb Decoction): A divine agent for treating Baihe Bing (Lily Disease).
Baihe (Lily Bulb).
Decoct in 2 cups of water until reduced to 0.8 cup. Take orally at any time.
Baosheng Wuyou San (Baosheng Worries-Free Powder): For women approaching labor, taking one or two doses beforehand ensures easy delivery. For transverse or breech presentation with prolonged labor, taking two to three doses yields miraculous effects.
Tusizi (Dodder Seed) (1.5 qian), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root) (wine-washed, 1.5 qian), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome) (1.3 qian), Baishaoyao (White Peony Root) (1.2 qian, only 1 qian in winter), Gancao (0.5 qian), Jingjie Sui (Schizonepeta Spike) (0.8 qian), Sheng Huangqi (Raw Astragalus Root) (0.8 qian), Nongpo (Magnolia Bark) (ginger juice-soaked, 0.7 qian), Zhiqiao (Bitter Orange Fruit) (0.6 qian), Aiye (Mugwort Leaf) (0.5 qian), Zhen Beimu (True Fritillaria Bulb) (1.5 qian, heart removed), Qianghuo (0.5 qian).
Process the twelve herbs according to prescription. Separately grind Chuanbei (Sichuan Fritillaria Bulb) into fine powder. After decocting the medicine, mix in the powder and take together. Use 3 slices of Shengjiang as the guiding herb. Take on an empty stomach.
This formula entirely employs the "supporting/pushing" method. Danggui, Chuanxiong, and Baishaoyao nourish blood and invigorate blood circulation; Nongpo removes stasis, using it to open blood vessels so lochia does not block; Qianghuo and Jingjie unblock the Taiyang Meridian, pushing from behind; since the Taiyang Meridian is the longest, its unblocking treats all meridians; Zhiqiao regulates stagnant Qi, pushing from the front to restrain fetal Qi and prevent obstruction; Aiye warms the uterus, stimulating uterine movement for fetal agility; Beimu and Tusizi facilitate smooth fetal passage and Qi flow, supporting the whole fetus with natural vitality; adding Huangqi supports Yuan Qi (Primal Qi); strong Yuan Qi provides forceful movement; Shengjiang opens the spirit, removes filth, disperses cold, stops vomiting, supporting Zheng Qi (Upright Qi) and calming Stomach Qi; Gancao harmonizes the herbs, ensuring balance and preserving the miracle of the "pushing" method. Many do not understand this formula; Cheng Shanling's annotation is superior, so it is recorded in full.
Shixiao San (Laughing-Off Powder): Treats severe cardiac and abdominal colic after childbirth; or blood confusing the heart orifices leading to unconsciousness; or retained placenta. Also treats heart pain due to blood stasis.

Qiwei Baizhu San (Seven-Ingredient Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder): Treats infantile vomiting and diarrhea, and all cases of incessant thirst.
Renshen (Ginseng Root), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Fuling (Poria), Zhigancao (Honey-fried Licorice Root), Huoxiang (Patchouli Herb), Muxiang (Aucklandia Root) (each 1.5 qian); Gange (Kudzu Root) (3 qian).
Grind into powder. Take 3-5 qian each time, mixed with plain boiled water, or decoct in water and take orally.
Jiawei Xiong Gui Tang (Modified Ligusticum and Angelica Decoction): Treats difficult labor in women due to non-opening of the pubic symphysis (cross-bones).
Chuanxiong (3 qian), Dangguishen (Body of Angelica Sinensis Root) (5 qian), Guiban (Tortoise Shell) (3 qian, ground raw), Hair from the vertex of a woman who has given birth to male or female (burned to size of egg).
Decoct in 3 cups of water until reduced to 0.8 cup. Delivery occurs within the time it takes to walk five li. Removing Guiban and hair from this formula names it Foshou San (Buddha's Hand Powder), used to secure live fetuses or expel dead ones.
Xiangru Wan (Elsholtzia Pill): Treats edema.
Gan Xiangru (Dried Elsholtzia Herb) (1 jin), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) (7 liang).
First grind Baizhu into powder. Then decoct Xiangru strongly into a paste. Mix and form pills the size of tung seeds. Take 10 pills with water, four to five times a day, aiming for diuresis.
Another Waitai Xiangru Wan: Use 50 jin of Xiangru, decoct in water into a paste, form pills the size of mustard seeds. Take 50 pills each time, three times a day. Gradually increase dosage until urination improves. No dietary restrictions.
Jingui Fangji Fuling Tang (Jingui Stephania and Poria Decoction): Treats Pi Shui (Skin Water / Edema confined to skin). This condition arises because Lung closure prevents Liver Wood from descending, causing overflow into the skin. It resembles Feng Shui (Wind Water) but is characterized by absence of aversion to wind.
Fangji (Stephania Root), Huangqi (Astragalus Root), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) (each 3 liang); Fuling (Poria) (6 liang); Gancao (Licorice Root) (2 liang).
Decoct in 6 sheng of water until reduced to 3 sheng. Take warm.

Contemporary Method for Incessant Asthma and Cough, which can replace Shizao Tang (Ten Jujube Decoction).
*Jingui Yi* states: "For unstoppable hematemesis, roast the patient's own blood in a porcelain pot until dry, grind into powder. Take 1.2 qian, mixed with Shenmai Tang (Ginseng and Ophiopogon Decoction) to stop bleeding immediately."
*Jingui Yi* states: "Spitting pink frothy sputum indicates damage to Lung collaterals and blood seepage. Treat with fresh lotus root, white glutinous rice, and red dates decocted in soup. Take frequently; it will heal over time. This formula was taught by Chi Weixin of the Plain White Banner and is highly effective."
Formula for Hematochezia from Intestinal Hemorrhoids
Mu'er (Wood Ear Mushroom) (5 qian, soaked overnight, washed clean).
Eat raw on an empty stomach. Avoid tea and hot water for half a day. Three doses will cure, though it may not eradicate the root cause.
Cishi Wan (Magnetite Pill): Treats Gao Lin (Paste Strangury / Cloudy Urine).
Cishi (Magnetite), Rongrongsu (Cistanche Stem), Zexie (Alisma Rhizome), Huashi (Talcum) (each 1 liang).
Grind into powder, mix with honey to form pills the size of mustard seeds. Take 30 pills each time with warm wine, at any time. If there is oppression below the umbilicus, add Chenxiang (Agarwood) 1 qian to move stagnant Qi.
Lurong San (Deer Horn Powder): Treats deficiency and exhaustion of the Lower Origin, hematuria lasting day and night.
Lurong (Deer Horn) (wine-washed, hairs removed, fried with butter until yellow), Sheng Dihuang (Raw Rehmannia Root) (roasted), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root) (roasted) (each 3 liang); Puhuang (Typha Pollen) (1 he); Dongkuizi (Malva Seed) (stir-fried, 4.5 liang).

Decoct together until reduced to 0.7. Strain and take warm at any time. The original formula contains Qianhu (Peucedanum Root) but lacks Renshen, Huangqin, Gancao, Danggui, and Baishao. I speculate these were added from Chaihu Yinzi (Bupleurum Drink) to prepare for tonifying deficiency and draining heat. Qianhu was removed to avoid excessive dispersion.
Liangge San (Cool the Diaphragm Powder): Treats accumulated heat in the Upper Jiao, restlessness, flushed face, dizziness, sore throat, glottal obstruction, mouth ulcers, cheek swelling, stuffy and red urine/feces, delirium, and restless sleep (all wind congestion).

Grind into powder. Take 2-3 qian each time, decoct with 7 leaves of Zhuye (Bamboo Leaf) and 3 spoons of honey. Take after meals. Taking half with Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) nourishes blood and drains heat. *Ben Shi Fang* adds Chishao (Red Peony Root) and Gange (Kudzu Root) to treat various heat diseases with frequent success.
*Yu Ji* states: "For mild cases, Jiegeng Tang (Platycodon Decoction) is suitable. Remove Mangxiao and Dahuang from this formula and add Jiegeng (Platycodon Root). As a boat-like herb, it floats upward to clear formless heat in the chest without affecting the Middle and Lower Jiao."
Dazao Tang (Jujube Decoction): Treats pain caused by fluid retention. Harsh formulas should not be used lightly.
Daji (Euphorbia Root), Yuanhua (Genkwa Flower) (stir-fried), Gansui (Kansui Root) (equal parts, ground).
Use 10 Dazao (Jujubes), decoct in 2 cups of water until reduced to 0.7 cup. Strain, add medicine (approx. 0.7 qian measured by square inch spoon). Take next morning to induce bowel movement. If not moved, take another dose. After taking, if the body feels weak, nourish with thin congee.

Decoct in 3 cups of white wine until reduced to 0.8 cup. Adding Banxia (Pinellia Tuber) 2 qian names it Gualou Xiebai Banxia Tang (Trichosanthes, Allium Macrostemon, and Pinellia Decoction), treating chest obstruction preventing lying down and heart pain radiating to the back.

Grind the twenty-one herbs into powder, mix with refined honey to form pills the size of a bullet. Take one pill with wine on an empty stomach. One hundred pills constitute one course.
Wei Nianting said: "Human Yuan Qi resides in the Lung, and human Yang Qi resides in the Kidney. Once depleted, recovery is difficult; it relies entirely on post-heaven Grain Qi to nourish life. Ying and Wei cannot be circulated without the Spleen and Stomach, and Blood and Qi cannot recover without diet. Thus, Zhang Zhongjing established this Shuyu Wan method for consumptive deficiencies accompanied by wind-pathogens. In the formula, Shuyu is primary, specifically managing the Spleen and Stomach. Whether damage is upper or lower, support is maintained here. Renshen, Baizhu, Fuling, Ganjiang, Douhuangjuan, Dazao, Shenqu, and Gancao assist by removing dampness and augmenting Qi, allowing the command of the Central Earth to function. Danggui, Xiong, Shaoyao, Dihuang, Maidong, and Ejiao nourish blood and yin. Chaihu, Guizhi, and Fangfeng dispel pathogens and dissipate heat. Xingren, Jiegeng, and Bailian direct Qi downward and open depression. Fearing that tonics might be rejected by those with deficiency and heat, we scatter pathogenic heat and open rebellious depression so that Blood and Qi become smooth, allowing tonification to be accepted. This is the unchanging principle."
Dahuang Zhechong Wan (Rhubarb and Ground Beetle Pill): Treats Five Labors, extreme emaciation with abdominal fullness, inability to eat, food injury, sorrow injury, sexual injury, hunger injury, labor injury, and damage to collaterals, Ying, and Wei. Internal dry blood causes rough, scale-like skin and dark eyes. It gently centralizes and tonifies deficiency.
Dahuang (Rhubarb Root) (10 fen, steamed), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) (2 liang), Gancao (Licorice Root) (3 liang), Taoren (Peach Kernel), Xingren (Apricot Kernel), Mengchong (Leech) (each 1 sheng), Shaoyao (Peony Root) (4 liang), Ganqi (Dried Lacquer) (1 liang), Sheng Dihuang (Raw Rehmannia Root) (10 liang), Shuizhi (Leech), Qicao (Ground Beetle Larva) (each 100 pieces), Zhechong (Ground Beetle) (0.5 sheng).
Grind the twelve herbs into powder, mix with refined honey to form pills the size of small beans. Take 5 pills with wine, three times a day.
You Shi said: "If wind-pathogens are not removed, they will harm Zheng Qi, preventing growth and nourishment; thus, Shuyu Wan is a key formula. If dry blood is not removed, it retains new blood, preventing proper distribution; thus, this pill is a superior agent."
I note: This pill was inspired by the Si Wu E Gu Yi Lu Ru Wan (Four Black Birds, Cuttlebone, and Rubia Decoction) from *Neijing*, but is less accessible than that ancient formula.
Fangji Huangqi Tang (Stephania and Astragalus Decoction): Treats Feng Shui (Wind Water) with floating pulse, heavy body, sweating, and aversion to wind.

Thus, Earth is governed by Heaven; Form accepts Qi, thus Earth accepts Heaven. Stomach is Earth, belonging to Kun; Qi is Yang, belonging to Qian. The Stomach is the leader of the Twelve Meridians, transforming dregs and transporting essences to become the fu organs of transmission. It is not merely a solid form, but relies on the continuous movement of Qian's Qi. The name "Chengqi" indeed has this meaning, not merely "smooth Qi." Duke Xian's interpretation surpasses predecessors. Regrettably, his work *Shanghan Leishu* was not published. Duke Xian's personal name was Xiaoming, from ancient Wu.
