脉象濡软而微弱，弱脉反而出现在关部，濡脉反而出现在寸口（巅顶指寸口），微脉反而出现在上部（寸部），涩脉反而出现在下部（尺部）。阳气微弱则说明阳气不足，脉涩则说明无血。阳气反而微弱，患中风病时出汗，却反而出现躁动烦乱；脉涩说明无血，四肢厥冷并且发寒。阳气微弱则不可使用泻下法，若误用泻下法，会导致心下痞塞胀满。
【注】
这就是前面提到的不可发汗的条文。所谓关脉浮取濡软、沉取微弱，寸脉微，尺脉涩，这是阳虚血少的脉诊表现。既然不可发汗，也不可泻下，都是因为阳气虚弱的缘故。如果误用泻下法，就会导致体内寒邪与虚损俱竭，心下痞塞胀满，必然形成太阴病误用下法导致的下利痞塞证。
【集注】
程应旄说：误用发汗法会亡失阳分之阳，误用泻下法会亡失阴分之阳。没有阳气则阴气独盛，地气（阴寒之气）得以向上占据，所以导致心下痞塞胀满。
脉象濡软而微弱，弱脉反而出现在关部，濡脉反而出现在寸口，弦脉反而出现在上部，微脉反而出现在下部。弦脉代表阳气运行（此处指阳气郁滞或外浮），微脉代表阴寒。上实下虚，患者想要温暖，脉象微弦属于虚证，虚证不可使用泻下法。
【注】
这也是前面提到的不可发汗的条文。所谓关脉浮取濡软、沉取微弱，寸脉弦，尺脉微，这是上实下虚的脉诊表现。脉象微弦属于虚证，既然不可发汗，也不可泻下，是因为下焦虚弱的缘故。
【集注】
成无己说：虚弱之人使用泻下法，是使虚者更虚（重虚）。
脉象濡软而微弱，弱脉反而出现在关部，濡脉反而出现在寸口，浮脉反而出现在上部，数脉反而出现在下部。浮脉代表阳虚，数脉代表无血。浮脉为虚，数脉生热。浮脉为虚，自汗出且恶寒；数脉主痛，身体震颤且寒战。关脉微弱，胸膈以下急迫，气喘出汗且呼吸困难，呼吸之中，疼痛牵引至□（原文缺字，据上下文推测可能为喉或咽）。寒战相互搏结，症状像疟疾一样。医生反而使用泻下法，所以导致脉数发热，狂乱奔走，看见鬼怪，心下痞塞，小便淋漓不尽，少腹非常□（原文缺字，据上下文推测可能为痛或胀），小便中尿血。
【注】
这里说的是关脉浮取濡软、沉取微弱，寸脉浮，尺脉数。关部濡弱说明中气虚乏，寸部浮而无力说明阳虚，尺部数而无力说明血虚。阳虚所以自汗出且恶寒，血虚所以身体疼痛、震颤发冷。中气虚乏所以胸膈气机急迫，气喘出汗且呼吸困难，呼吸之中，疼痛牵引至□（原文缺字）。寒战相互搏结，症状像疟疾一样，里邪不实，表邪未解，医生反而使用泻下法，导致虚阳未罢的表邪全部陷入里部，所以导致脉象虚数无序，发热、狂乱奔走、看见鬼怪，心下痞塞，少腹非常□（原文缺字），小便淋漓且尿血。
【集注】
张璐说：寸口脉浮濡而关部弱、尺部数，是因为此人阳气本虚，虚阳陷入阴分。如果误用泻下法损伤血液，必然导致狂乱奔走、痞满和尿血。
魏荔彤说：前面的虚寒证忌用下法容易知晓，此条虚证兼有热证的忌用下法难以知晓，所以这两条相互映照、互相说明，以示禁忌。
脉象濡软而紧，濡脉说明卫气微弱，紧脉说明营分中有寒。阳气微弱、卫分受中风邪气侵袭，发热且恶寒；营分紧束、卫气寒冷，轻微呕吐且心中烦乱。医生认为有大热，使用解肌发汗法，导致亡阳、虚性烦躁，心下苦于痞塞坚硬。表里俱虚竭，突然起身则头晕目眩，客热在皮肤表面，心情不畅不得安眠。不知道胃气寒冷，紧寒在关元穴处，医术高超者也无处施展技巧。用冷水浇灌身体，客热暂时消退，但身体颤抖发冷，盖上厚被覆盖，出汗且头部昏冒，身体惊恐震颤，小便轻微困难，寒气因水而发作，完谷不化的下利没有间隙，呕吐并伴有肠脱出，颠倒不安无法入睡，手足轻微逆冷，身体寒冷且内心烦乱。迟欲从后救，安可复追还（意指病情危重，即使后来想救治，又怎能追回生机呢）。
【注】
脉象濡而紧，是指浮取濡软、沉取紧束。濡脉说明卫表微弱，紧脉说明荣里有寒。外有发热、出汗、恶寒的表证，内有轻微呕吐、心烦的里证。医生认为是热证，使用解肌发汗法，导致表阳更加虚弱，产生烦躁；里寒更加急迫，心下痞塞胀满。表虚里冷，所以突然起身头晕目眩，心情抑郁不得安眠。如果只因为客热在皮肤表面，不知道中寒在里部，而用冷水浇灌身体，虽然客热暂时消退，但身体颤抖发冷，不得不盖上厚被覆盖，出汗必然导致眩晕，惊恐震颤、四肢厥逆，下利完谷，烦躁不安而死。这是因为内外之阳两亡，不能恢复。
【集注】
张锡驹说：出汗且头部昏冒，是因为出汗则阳气外亡，头昏眼花视力不明，所以叫“冒巅”。小便轻微困难，是因为阳亡而气化不行。下利完谷没有间隙，是说下利完谷没有停止的时候。“呕变”是指呕吐物的味道改变。“肠出”是指下利导致直肠脱出。
脉象浮而大，浮脉代表气实，大脉代表血虚。血虚就是无阴，孤阳独自下行至阴部，小便应当赤涩困难，胞宫当虚。现在反而小便通利且大汗出，按照法则卫气应当微弱，现在反而更实，津液四散流失，营血枯竭，干燥烦乱且不得安眠，血液稀薄肌肉消瘦，而成暴液（指津液如沸汤般煎熬而出）。医生再用毒药攻伐胃气，这是重虚，客阳离去有期，必然下利如污泥而死。
【注】
脉象浮而大，是指浮取有力，按之大而无力，这是革脉的象。浮脉代表气实外急，大脉代表血虚中空。血虚严重则亡阴，阴亡则阳无配偶，所以说“孤阳独下阴部”。意思是卫阳下行就其阴，小便应当赤涩困难，是因为胞中虚竭。如果阳不下就其阴，则小便反利且大汗出，这是卫阳表虚，邪阳内入，无阴以化，所以反而更实，导致津液四散流失，营竭血尽，肉消胃干，烦乱不得安眠。医生不知道这一点，乃将中空暴液的阳明证，误认为胃实证，再用峻药攻伐，则是虚虚（使虚者更虚），胃阳离去可期，必然下利污秽如泥而死。
【集注】
程知说：这是说气实血虚的脉象，小便通利且大汗出的，不可使用泻下法。
程应旄说：无阴而孤阳独自下行阴部，倘若得小便赤涩困难，则胞中不虚，仅为阳搏。阳未离，则阴得滞而未散。现在反而小便通利且大汗出，则卫气更微了。其反更实的，不是卫阳之实，而是客阳之实。卫阳尚或与阴相抱，客阳则专于攻阴，所以津液四散，而为小便利、大汗出。热甚逼迫阴，所以营竭血尽，干燥烦乱不得安眠，血薄肉消而成暴液。所谓暴液，是指点滴皆由火气煎熬而出。用毒药攻胃，则土败而四藏无生，下利如污泥而死。
伤寒脉象，阴阳两部都紧，恶寒发热，则脉象欲呈厥逆之状；厥逆的脉象初来盛大，渐渐变小，再来又渐渐变大，这是其征候。像这样的情况，恶寒严重的，翕翕出汗，喉咙痛；如果热多，眼睛红赤脉象多，眼神不清爽，医生再发汗，咽喉就会受伤；如果再泻下，则两眼闭合。寒多则大便清谷，热多则大便脓血；如果用熏蒸法取汗，则身体发黄；如果用火熨法取汗，则咽喉干燥；如果小便通利的，可以救治；如果小便困难的，为危殆。
【注】
伤寒脉象阴阳俱紧，恶寒发热，是太阳表证。则脉欲厥，是指浮紧之脉，初大渐小，知道是欲厥的脉象。初来大，是阳为之，所以发热；渐渐小，是阴为之，所以发厥。更大更热，更小更厥，是其征候。像这样的情况，应当以寒热来辨别厥逆。恶寒甚，翕翕出汗，咽中痛，是少阴寒厥。发热多，目赤脉多，眼神不了了，是阳明热厥。寒甚热多的厥逆，而误用发汗法，则咽痛似伤；而误用泻下法，则两眼多闭。凡是厥逆者必下利，寒厥的下利，是下利完谷。热厥的下利，是下利脓血；这又是以下利来辨别厥逆的寒热。如果用薰蒸取汗，则发身黄，是湿热合也。如果用火熨取汗，则咽燥，是火甚伤津。如果小便通利，则阴未亡，所以可救；小便困难，则阴已亡，为危殆。

程知说：言外伤于寒，为湿热之病，不可汗、下、薰、熨。
张璐说：脉来厥者，知厥逆之寒热交胜。初来大者，为邪气鼓动；渐渐小，为正气受伤；更来渐渐大，为邪气复进。盖因其人正气本虚，不能主持，随邪气进退，故其脉亦随邪气进退，忽大忽小。小便利者，津液未竭；小便难者，津液已绝，为危殆。
伤寒发热，口中勃勃热气外出，头痛目黄，鼻衄不可控制，贪喝水的必呕吐，厌恶喝水的必厥逆。如果泻下，咽喉生疮，假如手足温的，必下重便脓血。头痛目黄的，如果泻下，则目闭。贪喝水的，如果泻下，其脉必厥，声音嘤嘤，咽喉堵塞；如果发汗，则战栗，阴阳俱虚。厌恶喝水的，如果泻下，则里冷不嗜食，大便完谷出；如果发汗，则口中伤，舌上白胎，烦躁，脉数实，不大便六、七天，后来必便血；如果发汗，则小便自利。

伤寒发热，口中勃勃气盛而出，头痛目黄，将欲作衄，衄不可制，是因为阳邪盛，所以衄血甚。贪水者，水与热搏，所以呕吐；恶水者，里阴寒盛，所以厥逆。伤寒发热，口中出气盛者，如果泻下，热邪入浅，咽喉生疮；入深，下重脓血。头痛目黄者，如果泻下，则两目闭，液伤干涩。贪水者，如果泻下，热去水停，所以肢厥声嘤，咽喉塞；如果发汗过多亡阳，所以战栗，表里俱虚。恶水者，如果泻下，里寒更甚，所以不嗜食，下利完谷；如果发汗动其虚阳，所以口中疮，舌上白胎，烦躁。如果脉数有力，不大便而恶水，热在于阴，所以六、七日后必便血。如果更发其汗，阴阳俱虚，所以小便自利。

程知说：伤寒发热，热在表；口中勃勃气出，热在里。头痛目黄，衄不可制，所感之寒与所郁之热，共蒸于上。此当以贪水恶水辨之，贪水者，阴虚而热胜，水入而热与之拒，所以呕吐；恶水者，阳虚而寒胜，水入而阳气不任，所以厥逆。盖热气挟寒邪上蒸，法当辨寒热多寡而用清解，设不知而妄下之，是强抑之而邪不服，必至咽疮，若手足温而不厥者，其热为胜，必以下而致便脓血。头痛目黄者，下之则热内陷而目闭，若贪水者，阴虚为寒下所抑，其脉必厥，其声必如嘤儿餲塞不扬。此而更发其汗，则亡阳战栗，阳亦与阴俱虚。若恶水者，阳虚，加之寒下，则有里冷不嗜食，大便完谷出之变。此而更发其汗，则虚阳外发，必口烂舌白胎而烦躁。脉数实不大便者，至六、七日后当便血，此当下之，若更发其汗，则非惟大便不行，并小便亦为之不利。
脉微则为咳嗽，咳嗽则吐涎沫，如果泻下则咳嗽停止，但腹泻因此不停止，腹泻不停止，则胸中如虫咬，喝粥则吐出，小便不利，两□（原文缺字，推测为下肢或筋脉）拘急，喘息困难，颈背相互牵引，手臂则麻木不仁，极寒反而出汗，身体冷如冰，眼睛不清爽，语言不休，而谷气多入，这叫除中，口虽想说话，舌头却伸不出来。
【注】
阳盛为痰，阳虚为饮，咳嗽而脉微为阳虚之咳，所以咳嗽则吐涎饮。如果脉实，可泻下，现在脉微，泻下则寒虚更甚，所以咳嗽虽止，但腹泻因此不停止。胸中如虫咬，是胃寒虫动，所以喝粥则吐出。下利上吐，是中寒；小便不利，是停饮；两□拘急，喘息困难，颈背相引，手臂麻木，这都是中外寒饮之证。比起少阴停饮，此证无身痛，彼证无项背相引、手臂麻木。如果极寒而甚，则反汗出，身冷如冰，目睛不慧，语言不休而死。以如是之证，而谷气多入，这叫除中。口虽想说话，舌短难伸，也是死证。
【集注】
张璐说：误下之下利不止，胃中空虚，而反暴食，为除中。少阴虚寒而反冷汗，为外脱，及口虽想说话，舌萎不能前等，死证皆起。误下之害如此。
脉数者，久数不止，止则邪结，正气不能恢复，正气结于脏，所以邪气浮之，与皮毛相得。脉数者，不可泻下，泻下必烦，利不止。
【注】
脉数者，谓久数不止，是有热之人。如果脉数动时一止，热仍不退，是邪气结，正气不能复，正气结于脏，邪气浮于外。脉虽数促，不可泻下，如果误泻下，则邪热乘虚入里，必烦利不止。
【注】
脉浮大，此为表实之脉，应发其汗，如果医生误以为大为里实，而反泻下，这是大逆。
【集注】
程应旄说：脉大与脉浮而大，差别盛实，纯在表也，虽有里证，仍宜从表发汗，下之则为大逆。
动气在右，不可泻下，泻下则津液内竭，咽燥鼻干，头眩心悸。动气在左，不可泻下，泻下则腹内拘急，食不下，动气更剧，虽有身热，卧则欲蜷。动气在上，不可泻下，泻下则掌握热烦，身上浮冷，热汗自泄，欲得水自灌。动气在下，不可泻下，泻下则腹胀满，卒起头眩，食则下清谷，心下痞。
【注】
动气在右，肺失治矣。泻下则肺先虚，津液内竭，所以咽燥鼻干，头眩心悸。动气在左，肝失治矣。泻下则肝气益急，所以食不下，腹内拘急，动气更剧，表实未减，里虚益甚，所以虽有身热，卧则欲蜷。动气在上，心失治矣。泻下则阴液益伤，心火更甚，所以掌心握热，烦热汗出，欲得水浇，即有身上浮冷，亦火盛格阴使然。动气在下，肾失治矣。泻下则寒虚内甚，而腹胀满，所以卒起头眩，心下痞满，食则下利清谷。
【集注】
程应旄说：动气误下，是为犯脏，左右上下，随其经气而致逆，故禁同汗例。
咽中闭塞，不可泻下，泻下则上轻下重，水浆不下，卧则欲蜷，身急痛，下利日数十行。
【注】
咽中闭塞，燥干肿痛者，少阴阳邪也，宜泻下。今不燥干，不肿痛者，少阴阴邪也，不可泻下，泻下则阳愈衰，阴愈盛，所以说上轻下重。水浆不入，卧欲蜷，身急痛，下利日数十行，中外阳虚。
【集注】
张璐说：言初病咽干闭塞，以其人少阴之真阳素亏，故汗下俱禁，若下之，则少阴虚寒，诸证蜂起。
程应旄说：肾邪上逆，故有咽中闭塞之证，下之阳气益虚，阴气益甚，故有上轻下重等证。
【注】
诸外实者，里必虚，即有不大便，无所苦之里，亦不可下。如果泻下，外发之热虽微，内虚之寒则盛。若无脉而厥，当脐握热始暖，也是寒之甚。
【集注】
方有执说：诸外实，指一切之邪在表而言。发微热，邪入里。无脉，阳内陷。
程知说：下之则表邪内陷，外不热而内发微热。其亡脉而厥者，则寒气内深，惟当脐一握热耳。

此重出，以申叮咛告诫之意。
Pulse is soft and weak; the weak pulse appears at the Guan position, the soft pulse appears at the Cun position (Cun refers to the upper part of the wrist), the faint pulse appears at the upper part (Cun), and the choppy pulse appears at the lower part (Chi). Faintness indicates insufficiency of Yang Qi; choppy indicates lack of Blood. If Yang Qi is weak, contracting Wind-Strike leads to sweating, yet restlessness and irritability occur instead; a choppy pulse indicates lack of Blood, leading to cold limbs and chills. When Yang Qi is faint, purgation must not be used; if mistakenly purged, it will result in epigastric fullness and obstruction (Pi).
[Note]
This corresponds to the previous clause regarding contraindications for diaphoresis. The description of a Guan pulse that is superficially soft but deeply weak, a Cun pulse that is faint, and a Chi pulse that is choppy represents a diagnosis of Yang deficiency and Blood scarcity. Since diaphoresis is contraindicated, purgation is also contraindicated, both due to Yang deficiency. If mistakenly purged, internal cold and deficiency will be exhausted, leading to epigastric fullness and obstruction, inevitably resulting in Pi syndrome caused by erroneous purgation in Taiyin disease.
[Collected Notes]
Cheng Yingmao stated: Erroneous diaphoresis depletes Yang from the Yang aspect; erroneous purgation depletes Yang from the Yin aspect. Without Yang, Yin stands alone, allowing Earth Qi (Yin-cold) to ascend, thus causing epigastric fullness and obstruction.
The pulse is soft and weak; the weak pulse appears at the Guan position, the soft pulse appears at the Cun position, the wiry pulse appears at the upper part, and the faint pulse appears at the lower part. A wiry pulse indicates Yang movement (here referring to Yang stagnation or floating externally), while a faint pulse indicates Yin-cold. Upper excess and lower deficiency characterize the patient, who desires warmth. A faint and wiry pulse indicates deficiency; deficiency states are not suitable for purgation.
[Note]
This also corresponds to the previous clause regarding contraindications for diaphoresis. The description of a Guan pulse that is superficially soft but deeply weak, a Cun pulse that is wiry, and a Chi pulse that is faint represents a diagnosis of upper excess and lower deficiency. A faint and wiry pulse indicates deficiency; since diaphoresis is contraindicated, purgation is also contraindicated, due to lower deficiency.
[Collected Notes]
Cheng Wuji stated: Purging a deficient person constitutes "double deficiency" (making the deficient even more deficient).
The pulse is soft and weak; the weak pulse appears at the Guan position, the soft pulse appears at the Cun position, the floating pulse appears at the upper part, and the rapid pulse appears at the lower part. A floating pulse indicates Yang deficiency; a rapid pulse indicates lack of Blood. Floating indicates deficiency; rapid generates heat. Due to floating (deficiency), there is spontaneous sweating and aversion to cold; rapid indicates pain, trembling, and chills. Weakness at the Guan causes urgency below the chest, panting, sweating, and difficulty breathing. During respiration, pain radiates to [missing character]. Trembling and chills intermingle, resembling malaria. If the physician mistakenly uses purgation, it results in a rapid pulse with fever, manic running, hallucinations of ghosts, epigastric fullness, dribbling urination, severe pain/fullness in the lower abdomen, and hematuria.
[Note]
This describes a Guan pulse that is superficially soft but deeply weak, a Cun pulse that is floating, and a Chi pulse that is rapid. Softness and weakness at Guan indicate deficiency of Middle Qi; floating and forcelessness at Cun indicate Yang deficiency; rapidity and forcelessness at Chi indicate Blood deficiency. Yang deficiency causes spontaneous sweating and aversion to cold; Blood deficiency causes body pain, trembling, and chills. Deficiency of Middle Qi causes chest and diaphragm qi urgency, panting, sweating, and difficulty breathing, with pain radiating during respiration. Trembling and chills intermingle, resembling malaria. The interior pathogen is not excess, and the exterior pathogen has not resolved. If the physician mistakenly uses purgation, the unresolved exterior pathogen associated with deficient Yang sinks entirely into the interior, resulting in an extremely disordered rapid pulse, fever, manic running, hallucinations, epigastric fullness, severe [pain/fullness] in the lower abdomen, dribbling urination, and hematuria.
[Collected Notes]
Zhang Lu stated: A Cun pulse that is soft and floating, with a weak Guan and rapid Chi, occurs because the person's original Yang is deficient, causing deficient Yang to sink into the Yin aspect. If mistakenly purged, damaging Blood, it will inevitably lead to manic running, fullness, and hematuria.
Wei Litong stated: The contraindication of purgation for previous deficiency-cold patterns is easy to understand; the contraindication for this pattern of deficiency combined with heat is difficult to understand. Thus, these two clauses mirror each other to demonstrate the prohibition.
The pulse is soft and tight; softness indicates weak Wei Qi, and tightness indicates Cold in the Ying aspect. Yang is weak, and Wei is affected by Wind, causing fever and aversion to cold; Ying is tight, and Wei Qi is cold, causing slight vomiting and internal irritability. The physician, perceiving great heat, uses muscle-relaxing diaphoresis, leading to loss of Yang, deficient irritability, and bitter epigastric hardness. Exterior and Interior are both exhausted. Upon sudden rising, dizziness occurs. Guest Heat resides on the skin, causing dissatisfaction and insomnia. Unaware of the Cold Stomach Qi and Tight Cold at the Guanyuan point, even skilled physicians find no remedy. Pouring cold water on the body temporarily stops the guest heat, but causes shivering and chills. Covering with heavy blankets induces sweating and head vertigo, body tremors, and slight difficulty in urination. Cold Qi arises from the water, causing continuous diarrhea of undigested food, vomiting with intestinal prolapse, restlessness, slight cold extremities, body coldness, and internal irritability. Even if one wishes to save them later, life cannot be recovered.
[Note]
A soft and tight pulse means superficially soft and deeply tight. Softness indicates weak Wei exterior; tightness indicates Cold in the Ying interior. There is an exterior syndrome of fever, sweating, and aversion to cold, and an interior syndrome of slight vomiting and irritability. The physician, believing there is heat, uses diaphoresis, further weakening exterior Yang and generating irritability, while intensifying interior Cold and causing epigastric fullness. With exterior deficiency and interior cold, sudden rising causes dizziness and dissatisfaction/insomnia. If one only sees guest heat on the skin and ignores interior middle Cold, pouring cold water may temporarily stop the guest heat, but causes shivering. Heavy blankets induce sweating and vertigo, tremors, cold limbs, diarrhea of undigested food, and irritability, leading to death. This is because both external and internal Yang are lost and cannot recover.
[Collected Notes]
Zhang Xiju stated: "Sweating and head vertigo" means sweating causes Yang to escape externally, leading to dizziness and blurred vision, hence "Mao Dian". Slight difficulty in urination is due to Yang loss and failure of Qi transformation. "Continuous diarrhea of undigested food" means diarrhea without pause. "Ou Bian" refers to the change in taste of vomitus. "Chang Chu" refers to rectal prolapse due to severe diarrhea.
The pulse is floating and large; floating indicates Qi excess, and large indicates Blood deficiency. Blood deficiency implies lack of Yin. When solitary Yang descends alone into the Yin region, urine should be red and difficult. The uterus should be empty. Now, however, urination is free and there is profuse sweating. According to the method, Wei Qi should be weak, but now it appears stronger. Fluids scatter in all directions, Ying is exhausted, Blood is depleted, causing dry irritability and insomnia. Blood becomes thin, muscles waste away, forming "Bao Ye" (fluids boiled out by heat). If the physician again uses toxic drugs to attack the Stomach, this is double deficiency. The departure of guest Yang is imminent, and death will follow with diarrhea like mud.
[Note]
A floating and large pulse means strong upon superficial palpation but large and hollow upon deep pressure, representing the Ge pulse image. Floating indicates exterior tension of Qi excess; large indicates interior hollowness of Blood deficiency. Severe Blood deficiency leads to Yin loss; Yin loss leaves Yang without a partner, hence "solitary Yang descends alone into the Yin region." This means Wei Yang descends to join Yin, causing red and difficult urination due to uterine exhaustion. If Yang does not descend, urination would be free and sweating profuse, indicating Wei Yang exterior deficiency and evil Yang entering internally. Without Yin to transform, it appears as excess, causing fluids to scatter, Ying exhaustion, Blood depletion, muscle wasting, stomach dryness, irritability, and insomnia. Unaware of this, the physician mistakes the hollow, boiling-stomach Yangming pattern for Stomach excess and uses harsh drugs to purge, creating double deficiency. The departure of Stomach Yang is inevitable, leading to death with foul, muddy diarrhea.
[Collected Notes]
Cheng Zhi stated: This discusses the pulse of Qi excess and Blood deficiency; when urination is free and sweating is profuse, purgation is contraindicated.
Cheng Yingmao stated: Without Yin, solitary Yang descends alone into the Yin region. If urine were red and difficult, the uterus would not be empty, merely Yang pulsation. Since Yang has not separated, Yin remains stagnant and不散. Now, with free urination and profuse sweating, Wei Qi is even weaker. The apparent "excess" is not Wei Yang excess, but Guest Yang excess. Wei Yang still clings to Yin, but Guest Yang attacks Yin exclusively, causing fluid scattering, free urination, and profuse sweating. Intense heat forces Yin out, leading to Ying exhaustion, Blood depletion, dry irritability, insomnia, thin blood, muscle wasting, and Bao Ye. "Bao Ye" refers to drops squeezed out by fire-like heat. Using toxic drugs to attack the Stomach causes Earth failure and death of the Five Zang, leading to death with diarrhea like mud.
In Shanghan, if the pulse is tight in both Yin and Yang aspects, with aversion to cold and fever, the pulse tends toward Jue (reversal); Jue pulses start large, gradually become small, then grow large again. This is the sign. In such cases, severe aversion to cold with翕翕 (gentle) sweating and throat pain indicates Shaoyin cold Jue. More heat, red eyes, numerous pulses, and unclear vision indicate Yangming heat Jue. If Jue with severe cold and heat is mistakenly treated with diaphoresis, the throat suffers pain; if mistakenly purged, the eyes close. All Jue syndromes involve diarrhea; cold Jue involves diarrhea of undigested food, while heat Jue involves pus and blood in stool. This distinguishes cold and heat Jue by stool. Moxibustion/fumigation causes jaundice (damp-heat); fire ironing causes dry throat (fire injuring fluids). If urination is free, it can be saved; if urination is difficult, it is critical.
[Note]
Shanghan with tight Yin and Yang pulses, aversion to cold and fever, is a Taiyang exterior syndrome. "Pulse tending toward Jue" means the floating-tight pulse starts large and gradually shrinks, indicating impending Jue. Initially large is Yang causing fever; gradually small is Yin causing reversal. Larger and hotter, smaller and colder, are the signs. One must distinguish Jue by cold and heat. Severe aversion to cold, gentle sweating, and throat pain indicate Shaoyin cold Jue. More fever, red eyes, numerous pulses, and unclear vision indicate Yangming heat Jue. Mistaken diaphoresis in severe cold/heat Jue injures the throat; mistaken purgation closes the eyes. All Jue involves diarrhea: cold Jue is undigested food, heat Jue is pus and blood. Fumigation causes jaundice; fire ironing causes dry throat. Free urination means Yin is not exhausted and can be saved; difficult urination means Yin is exhausted and is critical.
[Collected Notes]
Cheng Zhi stated: External cold injury leads to damp-heat diseases; diaphoresis, purgation, fumigation, and ironing are all contraindicated.
Zhang Lu stated: A Jue pulse indicates alternating cold and heat in reversal. Initially large is pathogen agitation; gradually small is righteous Qi injury; growing large again is pathogen resurgence. Due to original righteous Qi deficiency, it cannot maintain control, following pathogen advance/retreat, so the pulse fluctuates. Free urination means fluids are not exhausted; difficult urination means fluids are exhausted, which is critical.
In Shanghan fever, hot air rushes from the mouth, headache, yellow eyes, uncontrollable epistaxis. Those craving water will vomit; those repelling water will have Jue. If purged, sores form in the throat; if hands and feet are warm, there will be heaviness and pus/blood in stool. If purged in headache/yellow eyes, eyes close. If purged in those craving water, pulse becomes Jue, voice is hoarse, throat feels blocked; if diaphoresis is used, trembling occurs, and both Yin and Yang are deficient. If purged in those repelling water, interior cold increases, appetite decreases, undigested food passes; if diaphoresis is used, mouth injuries, white tongue coating, irritability, rapid solid pulse, constipation for 6-7 days, followed by bloody stool; if diaphoresis is used again, urination becomes spontaneous/free.
[Note]
Shanghan fever with rushing hot air, headache, yellow eyes, impending uncontrollable epistaxis, is due to excess Yang pathogen. Craving water means water fights heat, causing vomiting; repelling water means interior Yin-cold excess, causing Jue. If purged in fever/hot air, shallow heat causes throat sores, deep heat causes lower heaviness and pus/blood. If purged in headache/yellow eyes, eyes close due to fluid injury and dryness. If purged in those craving water, heat leaves, water stays, causing limb Jue, hoarse voice, throat blockage; excessive diaphoresis loses Yang, causing trembling and exterior-interior deficiency. If purged in those repelling water, interior cold worsens, causing anorexia and undigested stool; diaphoresis moves deficient Yang, causing mouth sores, white tongue coating, irritability. If rapid solid pulse and constipation with repelling water, heat is in Yin, causing bloody stool after 6-7 days. Further diaphoresis makes both Yin and Yang deficient, causing spontaneous urination.
[Collected Notes]
Cheng Zhi stated: Shanghan fever is heat in the exterior; rushing hot air is heat in the interior. Headache, yellow eyes, uncontrollable epistaxis result from cold pathogen and constrained heat steaming upward. Differentiate by craving/repelling water. Craving water: Yin deficiency with heat excess, water rejects heat, causing vomiting. Repelling water: Yang deficiency with cold excess, Yang cannot bear water, causing Jue. Heat carrying cold steams up; clear resolution based on cold/heat ratio is needed. Mistaken purgation suppresses pathogen, causing throat sores. If hands/feet are warm (not Jue), heat wins, purgation causes pus/blood stool. Purgation in headache/yellow eyes traps heat, closing eyes. In those craving water, Yin deficiency suppressed by cold purgation causes Jue pulse and hoarse voice. Further diaphoresis loses Yang, causing trembling and Yin-Yang deficiency. In those repelling water, Yang deficiency plus cold purgation causes interior cold, anorexia, undigested stool. Further diaphoresis sends deficient Yang outward, causing mouth ulcers, white tongue, irritability. Rapid solid pulse with constipation leads to bloody stool after 6-7 days; purgation is indicated here, but further diaphoresis prevents bowel movement and urination.
Faint pulse indicates cough; coughing produces saliva. If purged, cough stops, but diarrhea continues incessantly. Incessant diarrhea causes chest sensation like insect biting; drinking porridge leads to immediate expulsion. Urination is difficult, legs/tendons are cramped, breathing is difficult, neck and back pull together, arms are numb. Extreme cold causes sweating, body cold as ice, unclear vision, incessant speech despite food intake. This is Chu Zhong (return of stomach Qi before death). Mouth wants to speak, but tongue cannot extend forward.
[Note]
Yang excess creates Phlegm; Yang deficiency creates Fluid retention. Cough with faint pulse is Yang-deficient cough, producing saliva. If pulse were excess, purgation would be okay. Now pulse is faint; purgation worsens cold and deficiency. Cough stops, but diarrhea continues. Chest like insect biting indicates Stomach cold moving worms, causing porridge expulsion. Diarrhea and vomiting indicate middle Cold; difficult urination indicates retained Fluid; leg cramps, breathing difficulty, neck/back pulling, arm numbness are all exterior-interior cold-fluid syndromes. Compared to Shaoyin retained Fluid (which has body pain but no neck/back/arm symptoms), this lacks body pain. Extreme cold causes sweating, icy body, unclear vision, incessant speech, leading to death. Food intake in this state is Chu Zhong. Tongue shortening is also a death sign.
[Collected Notes]
Zhang Lu stated: Erroneous purgation causes incessant diarrhea; stomach emptiness leads to binge eating, called Chu Zhong. Shaoyin deficiency-cold with cold sweat is exterior collapse. Tongue inability to extend are death signs. Harm of erroneous purgation is thus.
Rapid pulse lasting long without stopping; if it stops, pathogen knots, righteous Qi cannot recover, knotting in Zang, causing pathogen to float to skin/hair. Rapid pulse is not suitable for purgation; purgation causes irritability and incessant diarrhea.
[Note]
Rapid pulse indicates heat. If rapid pulse stops occasionally, heat remains, indicating pathogen knotting and righteous Qi failure to recover, knotting in Zang, pathogen floating externally. Even if rapid and frequent, purgation is contraindicated. Mistaken purgation allows pathogen heat to enter interior, causing irritability and incessant diarrhea.
Pulse floating and large requires diaphoresis; if physician mistakenly purges, it is a major deviation.
[Note]
Floating-large pulse is exterior excess; diaphoresis is required. Mistaking largeness for interior excess and purging is a major deviation.
[Collected Notes]
Cheng Yingmao stated: Large pulse and floating-large pulse differ in excess strength; purely exterior. Even with interior symptoms, diaphoresis is preferred. Purging is a major deviation.
Moving Qi in the Right (Lung area): Do not purge. Purging exhausts internal fluids, causing dry throat/nose, dizziness, and palpitations. Moving Qi in the Left (Liver area): Do not purge. Purging causes abdominal cramping, poor appetite, intensified moving Qi. Even with fever, patient curls up when lying down. Moving Qi in the Upper (Heart area): Do not purge. Purging damages Yin fluids, intensifies Heart Fire, causing hot palms, irritability, sweating, desire for water pouring. Body surface coldness is due to fire repelling Yin. Moving Qi in the Lower (Kidney area): Do not purge. Purging worsens interior cold/deficiency, causing abdominal fullness, dizziness upon rising, undigested stool, epigastric fullness.
[Note]
Moving Qi in Right indicates Lung dysfunction. Purging first damages Lung, exhausting fluids, causing dry throat/nose, dizziness, palpitations. Moving Qi in Left indicates Liver dysfunction. Purging intensifies Liver Qi, causing poor appetite, abdominal cramping, intensified moving Qi. Exterior excess remains, interior deficiency worsens, so despite fever, patient curls up. Moving Qi in Upper indicates Heart dysfunction. Purging damages Yin, intensifies Heart Fire, causing hot palms, irritability, sweating, desire for water. Surface coldness is fire repelling Yin. Moving Qi in Lower indicates Kidney dysfunction. Purging worsens interior cold/deficiency, causing fullness, dizziness, undigested stool, epigastric fullness.
[Collected Notes]
Cheng Yingmao stated: Erroneous purgation of Moving Qi offends the Zang. Left/right/up/down deviations follow meridian Qi, so prohibition is same as diaphoresis.
Throat closure: Do not purge. Purging causes upper lightness/lower heaviness, inability to swallow liquids, curling up, body pain, frequent diarrhea.
[Note]
Throat closure with dryness/pain/swelling is Shaoyang Yang pathogen, suitable for purgation. Current case without dryness/pain/swelling is Shaoyin Yin pathogen, not suitable for purgation. Purging further declines Yang, increases Yin, causing upper lightness/lower heaviness. Inability to swallow, curling, pain, frequent diarrhea indicate exterior-interior Yang deficiency.
[Collected Notes]
Zhang Lu stated: Initial throat dryness/closure indicates original Shaoyin True Yang deficiency; both diaphoresis and purgation are prohibited. Purging causes Shaoyin deficiency-cold and various symptoms.
Cheng Yingmao stated: Kidney pathogen reverses upward, causing throat closure. Purging further declines Yang, increases Yin, causing upper lightness/lower heaviness.
13. Exterior Excess: Do not purge. Purging causes slight fever. Loss of pulse and Jue with warmth at umbilicus indicates extreme cold.
[Note]
Exterior excess implies interior deficiency. Even with constipation and no interior distress, do not purge. Purging makes exterior heat slight but interior cold severe. No pulse and Jue with warmth at umbilicus indicates extreme cold.
[Collected Notes]
Fang Youzhi stated: Exterior excess refers to all pathogens in exterior. Slight fever indicates pathogen entering interior. No pulse indicates Yang sinking.
Cheng Zhi stated: Purging sinks exterior pathogen inward, causing slight internal heat instead of external heat. No pulse and Jue indicate deep internal cold, with only umbilical warmth.
Taiyang disease with unresolved exterior symptoms: Do not purge. Purging is adverse.
[Note]
Repeated for emphasis and warning.
[Collected Notes]
Cheng Yingmao stated: "Unresolved" differs slightly from "not resolved"; although purging seems necessary, one must wait.
Patient desiring to vomit: Do not purge. Frequent vomiting, even with Yangming symptoms, prohibits attacking/purging.
[Note]
Desire to vomit indicates pathogen above diaphragm, suitable for emesis. Frequent vomiting indicates pathogen in Shaoyang, suitable for harmonizing. Even with interior symptoms, warn against premature purgation.
