凡饮食留聚而为 痞者,或以生冷,或以风寒,或以忿怒气逆,或以劳倦饥馁而饮食叠进,不用消化则积
而成 矣。然胃气强者,必不致留聚饮食,而饮食之不能化者,必由脾肾气弱而然。所以治此者,宜酌虚实而
为攻补,庶乎得效也。诸治法详积聚门。宜参而用之。
立斋曰∶前证若形气虚弱,须先调补脾胃为主,而佐以消导;若形气充实,当先疏导为主,而佐以补脾
胃。若气壅血滞而不行者,宜用乌药散,散而行之。若脾气虚而血不行者,宜用四君、芎、归,补而行之。若
脾气郁而血不行者,宜用归脾汤,解而行之。若肝肾血燥而不行者,宜用加味逍遥散,清而行之。大抵食积痞
块之证,皆以邪气盛则实,精气夺则虚,但当养正辟邪,而积自除矣。虽曰坚者削之,客者除之,若胃气未
虚或可少用,若病久虚乏者,不宜轻用。

瘕者,假也。所谓假者,谓其形虽若 而原无根窠,非若 痞之坚顽有形者也。盖有形者,或因血积,
或因食积,积有定形,所不可移易者也。无形者,病在气分,气逆则甚,气散则缓,聚散无根者也。惟其
无根,故能大能小,或左或右,或近胁肋而如臂如指,则谓之 癖;或下脐腹而为胀为急,则谓之疝瘕。《
难经》曰∶“病有积聚,何以别之?然积者阴气也,阴沉而伏;聚者阳气也,阳浮而动。故积者五脏之所
生,聚者六腑之所成也。”然则 由于积,积在阴分而有渊薮,故攻之非易;瘕由于聚,聚在阳分而犹乌合,
故散之非难。此 瘕之辨有如此,惟散之之法,却有因通、因塞之妙用,而人多莫之知也。
凡病在气分而无停蓄形积者,皆不可下。盖凡用下
者,可除有形而不可以除无形。若气因形滞者,去其积则气亦顺,自无不可。若全在无形气分,即下亦不去,
而适足以败正气也。宜切识之。
散气之法,只在行气,盖气行则散也。但行气之法,大有权宜,如气实则壅滞,宜破而行之;气闭则留
蓄,宜利而行之;气热则干涸,宜寒而行之;气寒则凝结,宜温而行之。此散气治瘕之大法也。然瘕聚之证,
使果气强力健,则流行不息,又何瘕聚之有?惟正气不行而后邪气得聚。经曰∶“邪之所凑,其气必虚。”故
凡为此病,必气虚者多,虚不知补,则正气不行,正气不行则邪气不散,安望其有瘳乎?但实者有
据,故显而易见,虚每似实,故隐而难知。此所以当辨其真也。
破气行气之剂,凡气实气壅之甚而为胀为痛者,宜排气饮、木香顺气散、木香调气散、四磨汤、诸七气汤
之类主之。若血中之气滞而为瘀为痛者,宜失笑散、通瘀煎、调经饮,甚者《良方》夺命丹。疝瘕气聚者,荔
香散,甚者天台乌药散。气结膀胱,小水不利者,小厘清饮、四苓散、五苓散。气结大肠,干秘不行者,搜风
顺气丸、麻仁丸;水亏血虚而秘滞者,济川煎。肝气逆而为聚者,解肝煎,兼火者,化肝煎。气聚兼热,火郁
不行者,抽薪饮、大厘清饮。寒滞不行,气结胀聚者,抑扶煎、和胃饮、丁香茯苓汤。三焦壅滞,气道不清而
中满肿胀者,廓清饮。痰饮水气停蓄胸胁而为吞酸呕逆者,苓术二陈煎、六安煎、和胃饮、括痰丸之类主之。
以上诸法,惟气实瘕聚者宜之,凡元气不足者,皆不可用。

者,必温胃饮、理中汤、五君子煎最佳。若虚在脾肾阴分,气有不行而或为痰饮、或为胀满、或为呕吐腹痛
等证,非理阴煎不可。若虚在血中之气而为滞为痛,微则四物汤,甚则五物煎、决津煎、大营煎方可。若肝肾
寒滞,小腹气逆而痛者,必暖肝煎以温之。若脾肾气虚,门户不要而为滞为痛者,必胃关煎
以固之。若元气下陷,滞而不升者,宜补中益气汤、举元煎以举之。若元气大虚,气化不行而滞者,
必五福饮、十全大补汤、大补元煎或六味回阳饮以培补之。以上皆补气行气之法也,亦不过为之筌蹄
云耳。而此中之用,诚有未可以言悉者。然常人之情,尤为气之滞者,惟破之、散之为宜,而反云补之必
不然也。不知客之强者,以主之弱;邪之胜者,以正之虚。凡今人之病,虚者最多,而用补者最少,治与病
违而欲以药济人,盖亦罕矣。即余以多虚少实谆谆为
言,而人亦未信,姑以人事喻之,其或可晓然乎。夫人之虚实,亦犹人之贫富,气实者若富翁,气虚者若贫
士。今人于千百中而富者其几?舍富之外,尽贫人矣。其多其少,即此类也。又有华其貌而罄其室者,人多难
测,亦此类也。但贫人之情,可益不可损,增一分犹然未足;削一分其窘何堪?使以潜消暗剥之术而加之,贫
寒窘乏之士阴移人祚,而人不之觉,亦甚堪怜矣。此道以仁为术,其可不以此为心乎?嗟乎!人生以气为主,
得气则生,失气则死。夫智者知人之命,不智者知人之病,若强不知以为知,而徒资便给,以人命为

凡是饮食停滞积聚而形成痞块的情况,有的是因为吃了生冷食物,有的是因为感受风寒,有的是因为愤怒导致气机逆乱,还有的是因为劳累疲倦或饥饿时连续进食,未能及时消化,从而积滞而成。然而,如果胃气强健,必然不会导致饮食留滞;而饮食不能消化的情况,必定是由于脾肾之气虚弱所致。因此,治疗这种情况,应当斟酌虚实情况,采取攻邪或补虚的方法,这样才可能取得疗效。具体的治疗方法详见“积聚”章节,可以参考并应用。
张景岳(立斋)说:上述病症如果形体和正气虚弱,必须先以调补脾胃为主,辅以消食导滞的药物;如果形体和正气充实,则应当先以疏通疏导为主,辅以补益脾胃的药物。如果是气机壅滞、血液运行不畅的,适宜使用乌药散,通过疏散来推动气血运行。如果是脾气虚弱导致血液不行的,适宜使用四君子汤加川芎、当归,通过补益来推动血液运行。如果是脾气郁结导致血液不行的,适宜使用归脾汤,通过解郁来推动血液运行。如果是肝肾血燥导致血液不行的,适宜使用加味逍遥散,通过清热润燥来推动血液运行。大抵上,食积形成的痞块这类病症,都是遵循“邪气盛则实,精气夺则虚”的原则,只要注重培养正气、驱除邪气,积滞自然就会消除。虽然古法说“坚硬的用削法,外来的邪气用除法”,但如果胃气尚未虚弱,或许可以少量使用这些峻猛之法;如果病程长久、身体虚弱的,就不宜轻易使用。
《良方》中的乌药散(见《古方八阵·和阵》),用于治疗血气壅滞引起的心腹疼痛。
药材组成:乌药、莪术(醋浸后炒制)、桂心、桃仁、当归、青皮、木香(各等分)。
用法:研成细末,每次服用二钱,用热酒调服。

瘕,意思是假象。所谓假象,是指它的形状虽然看起来像是有形的,但原本没有固定的根基,不像痞块那样坚硬顽固且有固定形态。大概来说,有形的病证,可能是因为血积,也可能是因为食积,积滞有固定的形状,不可移动改变。无形的病证,病变在气分,气机逆乱时症状加重,气机消散时症状缓解,聚散无常,没有固定根基。正因为没有固定根基,所以它的大小会变化,位置或在左或在右,有的靠近胁肋部位,形状像手臂或手指,这就称为癖;有的位于脐腹部,表现为胀满或急痛,这就称为疝瘕。《难经》说:“疾病有积聚之分,如何区别呢?回答说:积属于阴气,性质阴沉而潜伏;聚属于阳气,性质阳浮而变动。所以积是五脏产生的,聚是六腑形成的。”既然这样,痞由于积形成,积在阴分而有深厚的根基,所以攻伐它不容易;瘕由于聚形成,聚在阳分而像乌合之众般松散,所以消散它并不难。这就是痞与瘕的区别所在。不过,消散的方法中,却有因通利或因固涩的微妙运用,只是人们大多不知道罢了。
凡是病在气分而没有停蓄有形积块的,都不可使用泻下法。因为凡是用泻下法的,只能去除有形的积滞,而不能去除无形的气滞。如果是气机因为形质积滞而受阻,去除了积滞,气机自然顺畅,就没有什么不可以治疗的。如果完全是在无形的气分,即使使用泻下法也去不掉,反而足以损伤正气。这一点需要深切认识。
消散气滞的方法,关键在于行气,因为气行则滞散。但是行气的方法,有很大的权变技巧,比如气实则壅滞,适宜用破气的方法来行气;气闭则留蓄,适宜用利窍的方法来行气;气热则干涸,适宜用寒凉的方法来行气;气寒则凝结,适宜用温暖的方法来行气。这是消散气滞治疗瘕的大法。然而,对于瘕聚这类病症,如果确实气强体健,那么气血流行不息,又怎么会有瘕聚呢?只有正气不行,然后邪气才能聚集。《内经》说:“邪气所凑集的地方,其正气必然虚弱。”所以凡是患这种病的,大多是气虚的人。如果气虚却不知道补益,那么正气就不能运行;正气不能运行,邪气就不能消散,哪里能指望痊愈呢?但是实证有确凿的依据,所以显而易见;虚证往往看似实证,所以隐蔽而难以识别。这就是当辨别真伪的原因。
破气行气的方剂,凡是气实、气壅严重而导致胀痛的,适宜使用排气饮、木香顺气散、木香调气散、四磨汤、各种七气汤之类的药物主治。如果是血中之气滞涩导致瘀阻疼痛的,适宜使用失笑散、通瘀煎、调经饮,严重的用《良方》夺命丹。疝瘕气聚的,用荔香散,严重的用天台乌药散。气结于膀胱,小便不利的,用小厘清饮、四苓散、五苓散。气结于大肠,大便干结不通的,用搜风顺气丸、麻仁丸;如果是水亏血虚导致便秘滞涩的,用济川煎。肝气逆乱导致气聚的,用解肝煎,兼有火邪的,用化肝煎。气聚兼有热邪,火郁不行的,用抽薪饮、大厘清饮。寒邪滞涩不行,气结胀痛聚积的,用抑扶煎、和胃饮、丁香茯苓汤。三焦壅滞,气道不清导致中焦胀满肿胀的,用廓清饮。痰饮水气停蓄胸胁导致吞酸呕吐逆气的,用苓术二陈煎、六安煎、和胃饮、括痰丸之类主治。以上各种方法,只适用于气实瘕聚的患者,凡是元气不足的,都不可使用。

补气以行气的方剂,如圣愈汤、参归汤、七福饮,都能调理心气的虚滞。五味异功散、参术汤能理顺心脾之气虚不行。独参汤、参附汤能助肺气以行五脏的治节功能。如果脾胃气虚而滞涩的,只有六君子汤、归脾汤为宜。脾胃虚寒而滞涩的,必须用温胃饮、理中汤、五君子煎最佳。如果虚在脾肾阴分,气有不行而或为痰饮、或为胀满、或为呕吐腹痛等证,非理阴煎不可。如果虚在血中之气而为滞为痛,轻微的用四物汤,严重的用五物煎、决津煎、大营煎才可以。如果肝肾寒滞,小腹气逆而痛的,必须用暖肝煎来温煦。如果脾肾气虚,门户不固而为滞为痛的,必须用胃关煎来固摄。如果元气下陷,滞涩而不升的,适宜用补中益气汤、举元煎来提升。如果元气大虚,气化不行而滞涩的,必须用五福饮、十全大补汤、大补元煎或六味回阳饮来培补。以上都是补气行气的方法,也不过是作为工具手段罢了。其中的运用,实在不是言语可以详尽说明的。然而常人的心理,尤其对于气滞的病,认为只有破气、散气才合适,反而说补气肯定不行。他们不知道客气的强盛,是因为主气的衰弱;邪气的胜利,是因为正气的虚弱。现在人的病,虚证最多,而用补法的最少,治疗与病情违背却想用药救人,大概很少见了。即使我多次谆谆告诫多虚少实,人们也不相信,姑且用人事来比喻,或许可以明白吧。人的虚实,也像人的贫富,气实的人像富翁,气虚的人像贫士。现在千百人中,富人有几个呢?除了富人之外,全是穷人。多与少的比例,就是这样的。又有外表华丽而室内空虚的,人们很难预测,也是这一类。但是穷人的情况,只能增益不能损耗,增加一分还觉得不够;削减一分那窘迫多么难以忍受?如果用潜消暗剥的技术施加在他们身上,让贫寒窘乏之士暗中转移福气,而人们却不察觉,也是非常可怜的了。医学之道以仁爱为技术,怎么能不以这个为心念呢?唉!人生以气为主,得气则生,失气则死。聪明人知道人的命,不聪明的人只知道人的病,如果强不知以为知,仅仅为了提供便利,拿人命做尝试的,他们的概况就可以知道了。

Any condition where food stagnates and accumulates to form a *pi* mass (a sensation of fullness or obstruction without a distinct palpable lump) may result from consuming raw or cold foods, exposure to wind-cold, anger causing qi rebellion, or overeating while fatigued or hungry without proper digestion, leading to accumulation. However, if stomach qi is strong, food will not stagnate; the inability to digest food is necessarily due to weakness in spleen and kidney qi. Therefore, treatment should assess deficiency and excess to decide between purging and tonifying, which is likely to be effective. Detailed treatment methods are found in the "Accumulation and Gathering" section; refer to them for application.
Li Zhang said: For the above conditions, if the constitution and qi are weak, priority must be given to regulating and tonifying the spleen and stomach, assisted by digestive agents; if the constitution and qi are robust, priority should be given to unblocking and guiding, assisted by spleen and stomach tonics. If qi congestion and blood stasis prevent flow, use Wuyao San (Lindera Powder) to disperse and promote movement. If spleen qi deficiency prevents blood flow, use Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) with Chuanxiong and Danggui to tonify and promote flow. If spleen qi depression prevents blood flow, use Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) to resolve depression and promote flow. If liver and kidney blood dryness prevents flow, use Jiawei Xiaoyao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) to clear heat and promote flow. Generally, symptoms of food accumulation and masses follow the principle that "excess of pathogenic factors constitutes excess syndrome, loss of essence and qi constitutes deficiency syndrome." One should nourish righteousness (healthy qi) and repel pathogens, and the accumulation will naturally dissipate. Although ancient texts state "reduce what is hard, eliminate what is external," these harsh methods may be used sparingly only if stomach qi is not yet deficient. In cases of long-standing disease and deficiency, they should not be used lightly.
Wuyao San from *Liangfang* (see *Gufang Bazhen · He Zhen*) treats heart and abdominal pain caused by qi and blood congestion.
Ingredients: Wuyao (Linderae Radix), Ezhu (Curcumae Rhizoma, soaked in vinegar and stir-fried), Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex), Taoren (Persicae Semen), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride), Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) in equal parts.
Usage: Grind into powder. Take 2 qian per dose, mixed with hot wine.
Sijunzi Tang (see Blood Deficiency Menstrual Disorder)
Guipi Tang (see Irregular Menstruation)
Jiawei Xiaoyao San (see Irregular Menstruation)
*Jia* (gathering mass) means "false." The term "false" implies that although it appears to have shape, it originally lacks a fixed root, unlike *pi* masses which are hard, stubborn, and have definite form. Generally, conditions with definite form arise from blood accumulation or food accumulation; the accumulation has a fixed shape and cannot be moved. Conditions without definite form involve the qi level; symptoms worsen when qi rebels and ease when qi disperses, gathering and scattering without a root. Because it lacks a root, it can change size and location. If it appears near the hypochondrium like an arm or finger, it is called *pi* (specific type of gathering); if it occurs below the umbilicus causing distension or urgency, it is called *shan jia* (hernia/gathering mass). *Nan Jing* states: "Diseases have accumulation (*ji*) and gathering (*ju*). How to distinguish them? Accumulation belongs to yin qi, which is deep and latent; gathering belongs to yang qi, which is floating and active. Thus, accumulation arises from the five zang organs, while gathering is formed by the six fu organs." Since *pi* arises from accumulation, which resides in the yin aspect with deep roots, it is difficult to purge. *Jia* arises from gathering, which resides in the yang aspect and is loose like a mob, so it is not difficult to disperse. This distinguishes *pi* and *jia*. However, the method of dispersion involves subtle applications of promoting flow versus consolidating, which many do not understand.
For diseases at the qi level without stagnant有形 (form) accumulation, purgatives must not be used. Purgatives remove有形 accumulation but cannot remove无形 (formless) qi stagnation. If qi is obstructed by有形 accumulation, removing the accumulation allows qi to flow smoothly, and there is no problem. If the issue is purely at the无形 qi level, purgatives will fail to remove it and will only damage righteous qi. This point must be clearly understood.
The method to disperse qi lies in moving qi, as moving qi leads to dispersion. However, the technique of moving qi requires flexibility: if qi is excessive and congested, use breaking methods to move it; if qi is closed and stagnant, use draining methods to move it; if qi is hot and dry, use cold methods to move it; if qi is cold and coagulated, use warm methods to move it. These are the general principles for dispersing qi to treat *jia*. However, in cases of *jia* gathering, if one truly has strong qi and robust health, qi flows continuously, and how could *jia* gather? Only when righteous qi fails to move do pathogenic factors gather. The Classic says: "Where pathogenic factors converge, righteous qi must be deficient." Therefore, most patients with this condition have qi deficiency. If deficiency is not treated with tonification, righteous qi will not move; if righteous qi does not move, pathogenic factors will not disperse, and recovery is impossible. Excess syndromes have clear evidence and are obvious; deficiency often mimics excess and is hidden and difficult to know. Hence, distinguishing true from false is essential.
Formulas for breaking and moving qi are suitable for severe qi excess and congestion causing distension and pain, such as Paqi Yin (Expel Qi Drink), Muxiang Shunqi San (Costus Regulating Qi Powder), Muxiang Tiaoqi San (Costus Regulating Qi Powder - Bureau Formula), Simo Tang (Four-Grind Decoction), and various Qiqi Tangs (Seven-Agents Decoctions). For qi stagnation within blood causing stasis and pain, use Shixiao San (Laughing Out Powder), Tongyu Jian (Unstuck Infusion), Tiaojing Yin (Regulate Menstruation Drink); for severe cases, Mingdan Dueming Dan (Life-Taking Pill). For *shan jia* qi gathering, use Lixiang San (Lychee Fragrance Powder); for severe cases, Tiantai Wuyao San (Tiantai Lindera Powder). For qi knotting in the bladder causing difficult urination, use Xiao Li Qing Yin (Minor Clearing Drink), Siling San (Four-Ingredient Powder), Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder). For qi knotting in the large intestine causing dry constipation, use Soufeng Shunqi Wan (Search Wind Regulate Qi Pill), Maren Wan (Hemp Seed Pill); for constipation due to water deficiency and blood deficiency, use Jichuan Jian (Crossing River Infusion). For liver qi rebellion causing gathering, use Jiegan Jian (Resolve Liver Infusion); if accompanied by fire, use Huagan Jian (Transform Fire Infusion). For qi gathering with heat and trapped fire, use Chouxin Yin (Draw Down Fuel Drink), Da Li Qing Yin (Major Clearing Drink). For cold stagnation preventing flow and qi knotting causing distension, use Yifu Jian (Suppress and Support Infusion), Hewei Yin (Harmonize Stomach Drink), Dingxiang Fuling Tang (Clove and Poria Decoction). For triple burner congestion, unclear qi pathways, and middle jiao fullness/swelling, use Kuqing Yin (Clear the Void Drink). For phlegm-fluid and water-qi stagnating in the chest/hypochondrium causing acid regurgitation and vomiting, use Lingzhu Erchen Jian (Poria-Atractylodes Two-Chen Infusion), Liu'an Jian (Six-Safe Infusion), Hewei Yin, Kutan Wan (Scatter Phlegm Pill). All the above methods are suitable only for qi-excess *jia* gathering; they must not be used for those with insufficient primal qi.

Formulas for tonifying qi to move qi, such as Shengyu Tang, Shen Gui Tang, Qifu Yin, can regulate deficiency stagnation of heart qi. Wuwei Yigong San, Shen Zhu Tang can regulate deficiency stagnation of heart/spleen qi. Dushen Tang, Shen Fu Tang can assist lung qi to govern the regulation of the five zang. For spleen/stomach qi deficiency with stagnation, Liujunzi Tang, Guipi Tang are suitable. For spleen/stomach deficiency-cold with stagnation, Wenwei Yin, Lizhong Tang, Wu Junzi Jian are best. For deficiency in spleen/kidney yin aspect, where qi fails to move causing phlegm-fluid, distension, vomiting/abdominal pain, Liyin Jian is indispensable. For deficiency of qi within blood causing stagnation/pain, mild cases use Siwu Tang; severe cases use Wuwu Jian, Juejin Jian, Daying Jian. For liver/kidney cold stagnation with lower abdominal qi rebellion pain, Nuangan Jian is required to warm. For spleen/kidney qi deficiency with insecure orifices causing stagnation/pain, Weiguan Jian is required to consolidate. For primal qi sinking with stagnation failing to ascend, Buzhong Yiqi Tang, Juyuan Jian are suitable to lift. For severe primal qi deficiency with failed qi transformation causing stagnation, Wufu Yin, Shiquan Dabu Tang, Dabu Yuan Jian, or Liuwei Huiyang Yin are required to tonify. All above are methods of tonifying qi to move qi, serving merely as tools. Their application cannot be fully described in words. However, common human nature prefers breaking/dispersing for qi stagnation, rejecting tonification. They do not realize that pathogenic strength stems from host weakness; pathogenic victory stems from righteous deficiency. Modern diseases are mostly deficiency, yet tonification is rarely used. Treatment contrary to disease aims to heal, which is rare. Even though I earnestly advise regarding "mostly deficiency, little excess," people do not believe. Let me use a human analogy to clarify. Human deficiency/excess is like wealth/poverty. Qi-excess is like a rich man; qi-deficiency is like a poor scholar. Among thousands, how many are rich? Except for the rich, all are poor. The ratio of many to few is like this. There are also those who appear wealthy but are empty inside, hard to predict, also this category. But the poor can only benefit, not be harmed; adding a bit is still insufficient; subtracting a bit makes their distress unbearable. Using subtle depletion techniques on them, secretly transferring fortune to the poor and destitute without people noticing, is very pitiable. Medicine uses benevolence as its technique; how can one not hold this in heart? Alas! Life depends on qi; gaining qi means life, losing qi means death. The wise know a person's fate (qi), the foolish know only the disease. Those who pretend to know, merely providing convenience, treating human life as an experiment, their nature can be imagined.
