石膏一斤 知母六两 甘草二两 粳米六合
先煮石膏数十沸，再投药、米。米熟汤成，温服。
同一石膏也，合麻黄用之，则为青龙；合知母用之，则为白虎。一则欲其兴云致雨以解
外邪；一则欲其清肃肺胃，荡涤内热，义各有当也。然用此方者，必须审而又审，自汗而渴，
脉大有力，数者咸备，方可与之。若一误投，祸不旋踵。盖缘此症为湿热郁蒸，故有汗而烦
热不解。既有汗，故不可表，表则阳脱；亦不可下，下则耗阴。惟有大清肺卫之热为正法也。
竹叶二把 石膏一斤 人参三两 甘草（炙）二两 麦冬一斤 半夏半升 粳米半升
加姜煎。
治肺胃虚热，故加人参、麦冬，加竹叶者，恐虚阳内犯胞络也。
柴胡八钱 防风二钱五分 葛根 升麻 羌活 独活 人参 白芍五钱 炙甘草三钱
生甘草三钱
每服五钱。加姜、枣煎。
郁结之火，逆而折之，则其势愈激而上升。此则全用风药解散，盖火得风力而升，亦因
风力
连翘四两 大黄（酒浸） 芒硝 甘草二两 栀子（炒黑） 黄芩（酒炒） 薄荷一两
为末，每服三钱。加竹叶，生蜜煎。
解此方者，但云此上、中二焦泻火之药。既下焦无病，岂得轻用芒硝？观仲景三承气汤，
邪在上者，不用芒硝可知也。殊不知主治条下有“大小便秘”一语，则下焦安得不并治乎？
石膏一斤，知母六两，甘草二两，粳米六合。
先煮石膏数十沸，再投入药物和米。待米熟汤成，温服。
同样是石膏，配合麻黄使用，就称为青龙（指大青龙汤或小青龙汤）；配合知母使用，就称为白虎（指白虎汤）。前者旨在兴云致雨以解除外邪；后者旨在清肃肺胃，荡涤内热，其义各有适宜之处。然而使用此方者，必须反复审慎，只有当自汗、口渴、脉象洪大有力等症状全部具备时，方可给予服用。如果误用，灾祸立刻降临。这是因为此症属于湿热郁结蒸腾，所以有汗但烦热不解。既然已有汗出，故不可发汗解表，发汗则导致阳气外脱；也不可攻下，攻下则耗伤阴液。唯有大清肺卫之热才是正法。
竹叶二把，石膏一斤，人参三两，甘草（炙）二两，麦冬一斤，半夏半升，粳米半升。
加生姜煎煮。
治疗肺胃虚热，所以加入人参、麦冬；加入竹叶的原因，是担心虚阳内犯胞络。
柴胡八钱，防风二钱五分，葛根，升麻，羌活，独活，人参，白芍五钱，炙甘草三钱，生甘草三钱。
每次服用五钱。加生姜、大枣煎煮。
郁结之火，如果用逆折的方法压制，火势会更加激越而上升。此处全用风药解散，因为火得风力而升，也借助风力……
连翘四两，大黄（酒浸），芒硝，甘草二两，栀子（炒黑），黄芩（酒炒），薄荷一两。
研为末，每次服用三钱。加竹叶、生蜜煎煮。
解说此方的人，只说这是上、中二焦泻火的药物。既然下焦没有病，怎能轻率使用芒硝？观察张仲景的三承气汤，邪气在上位的，不用芒硝就可以知道了。殊不知主治条文下有“大小便秘”一语，那么下焦怎么能不并治呢？
Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) one jin, Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma) six liang, Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) two liang, Jingmi (Oryzae Sativa Semen) six he.
First boil Shigao for dozens of boiling periods, then add the herbs and rice. When the rice is cooked and the decoction is ready, take it warm.
The same Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum), when combined with Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba), becomes Qinglong (referring to Da Qinglong Tang or Xiao Qinglong Tang); when combined with Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), it becomes Baihu (referring to Baihu Tang). The former aims to generate clouds and rain to resolve external pathogens; the latter aims to clear and purify the Lung and Stomach, sweeping away internal heat. Their principles are each appropriate in their own context. However, those using this formula must examine carefully and repeatedly. Only when spontaneous sweating, thirst, and a large and forceful pulse are all present can it be administered. If mistakenly prescribed, disaster will follow immediately. This is because this syndrome involves damp-heat stagnation and steaming, hence there is sweating but vexing heat does not resolve. Since there is already sweating, diaphoresis (releasing the exterior) is contraindicated, as it would lead to Yang collapse; purgation is also contraindicated, as it would consume Yin. Only clearing the heat of the Lung and Wei (Defensive) level with great intensity is the correct method.
Zhuye (Bambusae Folium) two handfuls, Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) one jin, Renshen (Panacis Ginseng Radix) three liang, Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) [stir-fried] two liang, Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) one jin, Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) half sheng, Jingmi (Oryzae Sativa Semen) half sheng.
Add fresh ginger and decoct.
Treats deficiency-heat of the Lung and Stomach, therefore Renshen (Panacis Ginseng Radix) and Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) are added. Zhuye (Bambusae Folium) is added out of fear that deficient Yang may invade internally the Bao Luo (Pericardium Collateral).
Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) eight qian, Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) two qian five fen, Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix), Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Duhuo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix), Renshen (Panacis Ginseng Radix), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) five qian, Zhigancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) [stir-fried with honey] three qian, Shenggancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) three qian.
Each dose is five qian. Add fresh ginger and Jujubae Fructus, and decoct.
Fire resulting from constraint and stagnation, if suppressed by counter-flow methods, will become more激ated and rise further. Here, wind-dispelling herbs are used entirely to scatter it, for fire rises with wind power, and also relies on wind power...
Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus) four liang, Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) [soaked in wine], Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) two liang, Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus) [stir-fried until black], Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) [stir-fried with wine], Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba) one liang.
Grind into powder, each dose is three qian. Add Zhuye (Bambusae Folium) and raw honey, and decoct.
Those who explain this formula merely say it is a medication to drain fire from the Upper and Middle Jiao (Triple Burners). If the Lower Jiao (Triple Burner) has no disease, how can Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) be used lightly? Observing Zhang Zhongjing's Three Chengqi Decoctions, when the pathogen is in the upper part, Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) is not used, which is evident. Little do they know that under the indications, there is the phrase "constipation of both large and small bowels"; thus, how can the Lower Jiao (Triple Burner) not be treated simultaneously?
