论
《内经》曰∶风者百病之始也，清净则腠理闭拒，虽有大风苛毒，而弗能为害也。若夫破伤风证，因事击破皮肉，
往往视为寻常，殊不知风邪乘虚而客袭之，渐至变为恶候。又诸疮久不合口，风邪亦能内袭，或用汤淋洗，或着艾焚灸，
其汤火之毒瓦斯，亦与破伤风邪无异。其为证也，皆能传播经络，烧烁真气，是以寒热间作，甚则口噤目斜，身体强直，
如角弓反张之状，死在旦夕，诚可哀悯！治之之法，当同伤寒处治，因其有在表、在里、半表半里三者之不同，故不
离乎汗、下、和三法也。是故在表汗之，在里者下之，在表里之间者宜和解之，又不可过其法也。闾阎野人，多不识此
证杀人之易，早不求医治疗，而袖手待毙，哀哉！
脉法
表脉浮而无力，太阳也。脉长有力，阳明也。脉浮而弦小者，少阳也。
河间曰∶太阳宜汗，阳明宜下，少阳宜和解，若能明此三法而治，不中病者未之有也。
愚按∶河间先生论破伤风脉证，详明甚矣，何其但云三阳，而不及于三阴？盖风邪在于三阳之经，便宜按法早治而
愈。若待传入三阴，其证已危，或腹满自利，口燥咽干，舌卷卵缩，皆无可生之证，故置而弗论也。
方法
丹溪曰∶破伤风同伤寒坏证治，看在何经而用本经药驱逐之，误则杀人。刘河间有法有方，宜选而用之。

论说
《黄帝内经》说：风邪是各种疾病的起始，如果保持清净，腠理（皮肤纹理及汗孔）就会闭合抵御外邪，即使有大风剧毒，也不能造成伤害。至于破伤风证候，因外力击打导致皮肉破损，人们往往视为平常小事，却不知道风邪乘虚侵袭，逐渐演变为危重证候。另外，各种疮疡久不愈合，风邪也能内侵，如果用汤水淋洗，或施以艾灸熏烤，汤水和火灸的热毒之气，也与破伤风的风邪无异。这些情况都能使病邪传播经络，灼烧真气，因此出现寒热交替发作，严重时牙关紧闭、眼睛斜视、身体强直，像角弓反张一样，死亡就在旦夕之间，实在令人哀悯！治疗的方法，应当参照伤寒病的处理原则，因为病邪有在表、在里、半表半里三种不同情况，所以离不开汗法、下法、和法这三种治法。因此，病在表用汗法，病在里用下法，病在半表半里用和解法，但又不可过度使用这些方法。乡野百姓，大多不认识此证致死之快，早期不寻求医生治疗，而是束手待毙，真是悲哀啊！
脉法
表证的脉象浮而无力，属于太阳经病变。脉象长而有力，属于阳明经病变。脉象浮而弦小，属于少阳经病变。
刘河间说：太阳经病适宜用汗法，阳明经病适宜用下法，少阳经病适宜用和解法，如果能明白这三种治法来治疗，没有治不好病的。
我按语：刘河间先生论述破伤风的脉象和证候，非常详细明了，为什么他只提三阳经，而不提及三阴经？大概是因为风邪在三阳经时，适宜按照法则尽早治疗而痊愈。如果等到病邪传入三阴经，证候已经危险，或者出现腹部胀满、自发性腹泻、口燥咽干、舌头卷缩、睾丸上缩等，都是无法救治的证候，所以省略不讨论。
治疗方法
朱丹溪说：破伤风参照伤寒坏证治疗，看在哪条经络就用该经的药物驱逐病邪，误治则会杀人。刘河间有方法有方剂，应该选择使用。

Discussion
The *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) states: "Wind is the beginning of all diseases. If one remains pure and quiet, the Couli (pores and interstices) will close and resist, so that even strong wind and severe toxins cannot cause harm." Regarding the syndrome of Po Shang Feng (Lockjaw/Tetanus caused by trauma), skin and flesh are broken by external force, often treated casually. However, one must not ignore that Wind pathogen invades through the deficiency, gradually evolving into a critical condition. Furthermore, if various sores do not heal for a long time, Wind pathogen can also invade internally. Using hot water washing or moxibustion burning, the toxic heat from water and fire is no different from the Wind pathogen of Po Shang Feng. These conditions allow pathogens to spread through the meridians, scorching the True Qi. Thus, alternating chills and fever occur; severely, there is trismus (lockjaw), deviation of eyes, body stiffness, and opisthotonos (arched back like a bow), leading to death soon. This is truly pitiable! The treatment method should follow the principles for treating Shang Han (Cold Damage Syndrome). Since the pathogen may be in the Exterior, Interior, or Half-Exterior Half-Interior, the treatment relies on Sweating (Han), Purging (Xia), and Harmonizing (He) methods. Therefore, if in the Exterior, use sweating; if in the Interior, use purging; if in the Half-Exterior Half-Interior, use harmonizing. However, these methods must not be overused. Common people often do not realize how quickly this disease kills, failing to seek medical help early, and waiting passively for death. How sorrowful!
Pulse Diagnosis
Exterior pulse is floating and weak, indicating Tai Yang (Greater Yang) channel involvement. A long and forceful pulse indicates Yang Ming (Yang Brightness) channel involvement. A floating, wiry, and small pulse indicates Shao Yang (Lesser Yang) channel involvement.
He Jian (Liu Wansu) stated: Tai Yang is suitable for sweating, Yang Ming for purging, and Shao Yang for harmonizing. If one understands these three methods, there is no case of failure to cure.
Commentary: Mr. He Jian’s discussion on the pulses and syndromes of Po Shang Feng is very detailed. Why does he only mention the Three Yang channels and not the Three Yin channels? Probably because when the Wind pathogen is in the Three Yang channels, it is appropriate to treat early according to the rules and achieve recovery. If one waits for the pathogen to transmit to the Three Yin channels, the syndrome becomes critical, presenting with abdominal fullness, spontaneous diarrhea, dry mouth and throat, curled tongue, and retracted testicles—all signs of incurability. Therefore, they are omitted from discussion.
Treatment Methods
Dan Xi (Zhu Danxi) said: Treat Po Shang Feng similarly to the complicated syndromes of Shang Han. Determine which meridian is affected and use herbs from that meridian to expel the pathogen; misdiagnosis leads to death. Liu He Jian has methods and prescriptions, which should be selected and used.
(Above: One method from Dan Xi)
Qiang Huo Fang Feng Tang (Decoction of Notopterygium and Saposhnikovia) [Liu He Jian]: Treats Po Shang Feng where the pathogen initially transmits to the Exterior.
Qiang Huo (Notopterygium root), Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia root), Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum rhizome), Ben Cao (Ligusticum sinense rhizome), Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis root), Shao Yao (Peony root) (one qian each); Gan Cao (Licorice root), Di Yu (Sanguisorba root), Xi Xin (Asarum root) (five fen each).
Cut finely, take as one dose. Add one and a half cups of water, decoct to one cup, filter, and drink hot. Take at any time. Adjust dosage based on urgency. If there is heat, add Da Huang (Rhubarb root) one qian; if constipation, add Da Huang five fen, allowing gradual bowel movement.
Bai Zhu Fang Feng Tang (Decoction of Atractylodes and Saposhnikovia) [Liu He Jian]: If previous medications cause excessive spontaneous sweating, this prescription is suitable.

Cut finely, take as one dose. Add one and a half cups of water, decoct to one cup, drink warm. Take at any time. Suitable for patients with harmonized internal organs and spontaneous sweating. For Po Shang Feng patients with constipation, red urine, and incessant spontaneous sweating due to overheating from previous hot medicines, knowing there is no cold, rapid purging is indicated. First use Xiao Xiong Huang Tang, then after two or three doses, use Da Xiong Huang Tang to purge.
Xiao Xiong Huang Tang (Minor Decoction of Ligusticum and Scutellaria) [Liu He Jian]
Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum rhizome) (two qian), Huang Qin (Scutellaria root) (one qian five fen), Gan Cao (Licorice root) (five fen).
Cut finely, take as one dose. Add one and a half cups of water, decoct to one cup, drink warm. Take at any time. Stop after three doses, then proceed to subsequent prescriptions.

Grind into fine powder. Take one zi dose per serving, mixed with warm wine. Can be taken until recovery if the interior is harmonious; do not take if the interior is not harmonious.
Da Wu Gong San (Major Centipede Powder) [Liu He Jian]
Wu Gong (Centipede) (one yellow-footed and one red-footed), Jiang Bi (Fish maw/collagen) (five qian, fried), Zuo Pan Long (Wild pigeon droppings) (five qian, fried until smoke ceases).
Grind into fine powder. Take one qian per serving, mixed with clear wine. Treatment follows previous methods; can be taken until recovery if the interior is harmonious; do not take if there are interior syndromes. Next, purging is required. Use four qian of Wu Gong San and five fen of Ba Dou Shuang (Croton seed paste), made into pills the size of mung beans. Take one pill initially, gradually increasing to six or seven pills, delivered with a little Wu Gong San mixed in clear wine. Stop when bowel movement occurs. Once internal and external wind pathogens are expelled, treat slowly with Qiang Huo Tang. Qiang Huo Tang treats syndromes half in the exterior and half in the interior.
Da Qiang Huo Tang (Major Notopterygium Decoction)
Qiang Huo (Notopterygium root), Ju Hua (Chrysanthemum flower), Ma Huang (Ephedra stem), Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum rhizome), Shi Gao (Gypsum fibrosum, calcined, ground separately), Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia root), Qian Hu (Peucedanum root), Huang Qin (Scutellaria root), Xi Xin (Asarum root), Gan Cao (Licorice root), Zhi Ke (Aurantium fruit), Bai Fu Ling (Poria sclerotium), Man Jing Zi (Vittex fruit) (four fen each), Bo He (Mentha haplocalyx), Bai Zhi (Angelica dahurica root) (two fen each).
Cut finely, take as one dose. Add five slices of Sheng Jiang (Fresh ginger), one and a half cups of water, decoct to one cup. Drink slightly warm. Take at any time, twice daily.
Fang Feng Tang (Saposhnikovia Decoction) [Liu He Jian]: Treats Po Shang Feng similar to Shang Han exterior syndrome, before transmitting to the interior. Suitable for this prescription.
Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia root), Qiang Huo (Notopterygium root), Du Huo (Angelica pubescens root), Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum rhizome) (one qian two fen each).
Cut finely, take as one dose. Add one and a half cups of water, decoct to one cup, drink warm.
Xiao Wu Gong San (Minor Centipede Powder)
Wu Gong (Centipede) (one yellow-footed and one red-footed), Jiang Bi (Fish maw/collagen) (three qian).
Grind into fine powder, take with Fang Feng Tang. If previous exterior-releasing drugs fail and the pathogen seems to transmit inward, take Zuo Long Wan. Gradually observe stool consistency and add Ba Dou Shuang.
Zuo Long Wan (Left Dragon Pill) [Liu He Jian]
Zuo Pan Long (Wild pigeon droppings) (five qian, fried), Bai Jiang Can (Bombyx batryticatus) (five qian, fried), Jiang Bi (Fish maw/collagen) (five qian, fried), Xiong Huang (Realgar) (one qian).
Grind together into fine powder, make pills with rice flour the size of Sophora seeds. Take fifteen pills per serving, with warm wine. If interior syndromes persist, add half a qian of Ba Dou Shuang to half of the Zuo Long Wan powder, make pills the size of Sophora seeds with rice flour.

(Medical Case)
Mr. Chen Zhen Si, fourth brother of An Wen, suffered a broken brow bone during a brawl while mediating. He developed Po Shang Feng with severe head and facial swelling and fever. I happened to be at his home and administered Jiu Wei Qiang Huo Tang to induce sweating. Externally, I applied a paste of crushed Xing Ren mixed with a little Bai Mian and fresh well water to the wound. Swelling subsided, heat cleared, and he recovered. I later treated many others with this method, all successfully.
