赤白之痢，世人莫不曰赤为阳为热，白为阴为冷，或曰无积不成痢。至于调治，若以冷热之剂互进，或投
去积之药，必难取效，不究其原，何由可疗。且四时八风之中人，五运六气之相胜，夏秋人多痢疾，《内

夏生飧泄。《至真要大论》曰∶少阳在泉，火淫所胜、民病注泄。赤白其可拘于无积不成痢之说，若专以积为

汤氏说：小儿痢疾，都是因为饮食没有节制，或者吃了水果肉食，不知道满足，由于脾胃还很虚弱，不能消化，食物停滞在脏腑中，所以形成痢疾。热邪搏结则大便带血（赤）。风寒之气进入肠胃，导致津液凝滞则形成白痢。痢疾如果夹杂青色，是有惊积；如果像鱼脑一样，肚子疼痛严重的，大抵八种痢疾，无论是冷是热、是赤是白，虽然药性有所不同，但治疗方法相差不远。又有赤白相杂的，应当先去其热积，必须用大黄、枳实、朴硝之类的药物，来清除热毒，然后用黄连、黄芩、黄柏解除热邪，痢疾自然停止，疼痛自然安定，这是妙法。如果痢疾不止，就用熟地榆、熟艾等药剂调理，自然平复。脾虚的人，不可轻易使用罂粟壳等收敛涩滞的药物，必定会导致危险困顿，必须用没石子、黄连、阿胶、地榆来止痢，才是尽善尽美，其中枳壳、芍药都是重要的药物。噤口痢（无法进食）不能吃东西的，用石莲散主治，香脯散也可以。冷痢像豆汁一样，肚子疼的，用胃风汤主治。脾毒痢，脏热，应当服用香连丸、黄连香薷散去桂枝、五苓散（惊）、茅花汤，以及当归、芍药、枳壳、地榆、川芎等药剂，先给予解毒退热，再给予开胃进食，分利水谷，宽肠定痛，先用温水浸泡丹、《局方》败毒散（痘疹初起发热）、地榆饮、宽肠枳壳散。有热而痢疾不止的，用三黄熟艾汤主治。积滞不通的，神芎丸也可以使用。热盛烦躁的，用黄连解毒汤解除（烦躁），泼火散也有效。〔曾〕赤白痢疾，世人无不认为红色属阳属热，白色属阴属冷，或者说无积不成痢。至于调治，如果用冷热药剂交替进服，或者投用去积的药物，必定难以取效，不探究其根源，怎么能治疗呢？况且四季八风侵袭人体，五运六气相互克制，夏秋季节人们多患痢疾，《内经》说：春伤于风，夏生飧泄（完谷不化的腹泻）。《至真要大论》说：少阳在泉，火气过胜，百姓病注泄。赤白痢岂能拘泥于无积不成痢的说法，如果专门以积滞来论述，难道一年之中，唯独夏秋季节人们都有积滞，春冬就没有吗？大概风邪入胃，木能克土，如果不发生暴泻，就会形成痢疾，赤白交杂，这是阴阳不分，治法应当分辨正阴阳，用五苓散来引导逆乱之气，理中汤来温补胃气，使大便颜色归一，然后施治。如果服药一分之后，仍然赤白同下，就应当探究患病的原因，如果先白后赤，是内伤生冷，失于保暖，由元气感受暑热所致，治法先救里，次解暑毒。如果先赤后白，是先伤热而后失于保暖感受寒冷，先宜解热，后治痢疾。有夹热而痢的，则下纯鲜血，这是风能动血，宜冷服黄连香薷散（吐泻）、川草散、及当归散（潮热）加醋炒蒸柏叶，用水和生姜煎服，或者羌活散加三和汤，用水、生姜、仓米煎服。有挟冷而痢的，则下纯白冻，或者白上有粉红色，或者像猪肝瘀血，都属于阴证，因为血得寒则凝涩的缘故，先用咀碎的五苓散加守中汤（泻）煎服，其次用附子理中汤带凉服，或者固真汤（慢惊风）。倘若不辨别虚实冷热，妄行施治，必定导致脾胃更虚，不能乳食，形成噤口痢的就难治疗了。又有里急后重，大概里急属阳，后重属阴，未排便前腹痛为里急，已排便后腹痛为后重，所以里急是大肠涩滞，先以大顺饮加宽气饮（急惊风）和解，以及羌活散用水、生姜、仓米煎服，其次用宽肠丸。后重是气虚，用咀碎的五苓散加人参、用水、生姜煎服，并投用香连丸。如果两个症状都出现，前两种丸子同时服用，或者双金饮、金粟丸也很好。然而泻痢二字，自然是两种病症，粪便夹杂水，量多而顺畅的叫泻，带有血冻白冻，量少三五点且疼痛的叫痢，轻重阴阳，由此区分，这才是治法。有脓血交杂，经久不止，白天轻晚上重，或者昼夜频繁，食欲减退疼痛增多，都用万金散、神效散主治。有五色的痢疾，是因为五脏蕴藏热邪，日久不散，所以有此症，大概五脏受热，营卫不调，五谷不化，熏腐脏腑，神气昏沉，此候已经危重，最痛苦的是腹中刺痛，幼儿小的没有治法，大概五色，是五脏的颜色都显露在外，幼儿大的可以用《局方》三神丸，或者小来复丹用五苓散送下，或许可以治疗，如果用药如故，就不行了。又有风痢，多是黄褐色，与疳泻颇为相同，只是不臭作为区别，这是风毒停滞在脾，应当去除脾经风毒，用泻黄散主治，如果见赤白同下，久而不禁，小便少，涩痛热并作，嘴唇裂开眼睛红，气促心烦，坐卧不安，狂渴饮水，肛门脱垂，时常面容如妆，饮食不进的就难治。〔薛〕钱仲阳说：泻痢黄赤黑，都是热证。泻痢青白，米谷不化，都是冷证。东垣说：白色是湿热伤了气分，红色是湿热伤了血分，赤白相杂，气血都伤了。海藏用四君子汤、川芎、当归治疗虚弱的痢疾，四君子汤、干姜治疗虚寒的痢疾。我曾经治疗手指头热想喝冷饮的，为实热，用香连丸。手指头冷冻想喝热饮的，为虚寒，用异功散送服香连丸。如果兼身体沉重肢体疼痛，是湿热伤了脾，用升阳益胃汤。小便不利，阴阳不分，用五苓散。如果湿热退了而久痢不愈，是脾气下陷，用补中益气汤倍加升麻、柴胡。泻痢兼呕吐，或者腹中作痛的，是脾胃虚寒，用异功散加炮姜、木香。或者变而为疟疾的，是肝克脾，用六君子汤、升麻、柴胡、钓藤钩。如果积滞已去，痢仍不止，是脾气虚，用四君子汤送下香连丸。如果因乳母膏粱浓味，六淫七情，导致孩子患病的，应当各自推究其原因，仍然兼治其母亲，并参考冷热泻及积滞腹痛等证阅览之。
Tang Shi stated: Pediatric dysentery is all caused by unregulated diet, such as consuming fruits and meats without satiety. Since the spleen and stomach are still weak and unable to digest, food stagnates in the zang-fu organs, thus forming dysentery. When heat pathogens contend, stools contain blood (red). When wind-cold qi enters the intestines and stomach, causing body fluids to coagulate and stagnate, white dysentery forms. If dysentery contains green color, it indicates fright accumulation; if it resembles fish brains and abdominal pain is severe, generally speaking, among the eight types of dysentery, whether cold or hot, red or white, although the medicinal properties differ, the treatment methods are not far apart. For cases where red and white mix, one should first eliminate heat accumulation, using herbs like Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), Zhi Shi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), and Po Xiao (Natrii Sulfas) to clear heat toxins, then use Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix), and Huang Bai (Phellodendri Cortex) to resolve heat; the dysentery will naturally stop, and pain will settle. This is a brilliant method. If dysentery persists, treat with preparations containing Di Yu (Sanguisorbae Radix) and Shu Ai Ye (Mugwort Leaf processed with wine/heat) to regulate, leading to natural recovery. For those with spleen deficiency, do not lightly use astringent agents like Ying Su Qiao (Papaveris Pericarpium), which must lead to critical danger; instead, use Mo Shi Zi (Terminalia Chebula Retusa), Huang Lian, E Jiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), and Di Yu to stop dysentery, which is perfect; Zhi Qiao (Aurantii Fructus) and Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix) are essential herbs. For Jin Kou Li (Dysentery with inability to eat) where the patient cannot eat, Shi Lian San (Lotus Seed Powder) is the primary formula, and Xiang Fu San is also acceptable. For cold dysentery resembling bean curd dregs with abdominal pain, Wei Feng Tang (Stomach Wind Decoction) is indicated. For spleen toxin dysentery with internal heat, take Xiang Lian Wan (Fragrant Coptis Pill), Huang Lian Xiang Ru San (Coptis and Mosla Powder minus Gui Zhi), Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria), Mao Hua Tang (Bamboo Shoot Infusion), along with Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Shao Yao, Zhi Qiao, Di Yu, and Chuan Xiong (Sichuan Lovage Rhizome) preparations. First provide detoxification and fever reduction, then promote appetite and digestion, separate turbid fluids from clear fluids, soothe the intestines and relieve pain. Initially use Shui Jin Dan (Water-Soaked Pill), Ju Fang Bai Du San (Formulary Antidote Powder for early stage of smallpox/rash with fever), Di Yu Yin (Di Yu Decoction), and Kuan Chang Zhi Qiao San (Intestine-Soothing Aurantium Powder). For dysentery persisting due to heat, San Huang Shu Ai Tang (Three-Yellow Processed Mugwort Decoction) is indicated. For stagnation and blockage, Shen Xiong Wan (Divine Celery Pill) can also be used. For intense heat with restlessness, Huang Lian Jie Du Tang (Coptis Decoction for Resolving Toxins) resolves it; Po Huo San (Fire-Pouring Powder) is also effective. [Zeng] Regarding red and white dysentery, people generally say red is yang and hot, white is yin and cold, or that no accumulation means no dysentery. In treatment, if hot and cold medicines are alternated, or if accumulation-expelling drugs are administered, efficacy is difficult to achieve. Without investigating the root cause, how can it be cured? Moreover, when the eight winds of the four seasons invade humans, and the five movements and six qi interact in overcoming each other, many people suffer from dysentery in summer and autumn. The *Nei Jing* states: "Wind injury in spring leads to unsolidified diarrhea in summer." The *Zhi Zhen Yao Da Lun* states: "When Shaoyang governs the interior, excessive fire causes the people to suffer from pouring diarrhea." Can red and white dysentery be constrained by the theory that no accumulation means no dysentery? If one specifically discusses accumulation, does it mean only in summer and autumn do people have accumulation, but not in spring and winter? Generally, wind evil enters the stomach, wood overcomes earth. If not violent diarrhea, it becomes dysentery with mixed red and white, indicating yin and yang are undifferentiated. The method should differentiate true yin and yang, use Wu Ling San to guide rebellious qi, and Li Zhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) to warm the stomach, making the stool color uniform before applying further treatment. If after one dose, red and white still pass together, investigate the cause. If white appears first then red, it is internal injury from raw/cold foods, lack of covering, and yuan qi affected by summer heat; treat by first saving the interior, then resolving summer heat toxins. If red appears first then white, it is heat injury followed by cold from lack of covering; first resolve heat, then treat dysentery. For dysentery with mixed heat, pure fresh blood passes; this is wind moving blood, suitable for cold administration of Huang Lian Xiang Ru San (for vomiting/diarrhea), Chuan Cao San, and Dang Gui San (for tidal fever) plus Cu Chao Zheng Bo Ye (Vine-processed Steamed Biota Top), decocted with water and ginger, or Qiang Huo San plus San He Tang, decocted with water, ginger, and Cang Mi (stored rice). For dysentery with mixed cold, pure white jelly passes, or white with pinkish-red tinge, or resembling pig liver blood stasis; these are all yin syndromes because blood coagulates and stagnates when cooled. First use Zui Wu Ling San (Crushed Five-Ingredient Powder) plus Shou Zhong Tang (Protect the Center Decoction) decocted and administered, then Fu Zi Li Zhong Tang (Aconite Regulate the Middle Decoction) taken cool, or Gu Zhen Tang (Solidify Truth Decoction) for slow convulsions. If one fails to distinguish deficiency/excess and cold/heat, and treats recklessly, spleen and stomach will become more deficient, unable to digest milk/food, leading to Jin Kou Li (inability to eat), which is hard to cure. There is also Li Ji Hou Zhong (tenesmus and heaviness). Li Ji is yang, Hou Zhong is yin. Abdominal pain before defecation is Li Ji, abdominal pain after defecation is Hou Zhong. Thus, Li Ji is large intestine astringency; initially use Da Shun Yin plus Kuan Qi Yin (for acute convulsions) to harmonize, and Qiang Huo San decocted with water, ginger, and Cang Mi, followed by Kuan Chang Wan (Intestine-Widening Pill). Hou Zhong is qi deficiency; use Zui Wu Ling San plus Ren Shen (Ginseng Root), decocted with water and ginger, and administer Xiang Lian Wan. If both conditions occur, combine the two pills, or use Shuang Jin Yin (Double Gold Drink) or Jin Su Wan (Golden Millet Pill), which are also good. However, Xie (diarrhea) and Li (dysentery) are two distinct syndromes. Stool mixed with water, abundant and smooth is called Xie; containing bloody/jelly-like mucus, scanty (3-5 drops) and painful is called Li. Severity and yin/yang are distinguished here, which constitutes the treatment method. For pus and blood mixed, persisting for a long time, lighter by day and heavier by night, or frequent day and night, with reduced appetite and increased pain, use Wan Jin San (Ten Thousand Gold Powder) and Shen Xiao San (Divine Efficacy Powder) as main treatments. For Wu Se Li (Five-Color Dysentery), it is caused by heat accumulating in the five zang organs for a long time without dissipating. Because the five zang receive heat, Ying and Wei are disordered, grains are not digested, steaming and corrupting the zang-fu, spirit and qi become dull. This condition is already critical; the most bitter symptom is stabbing abdominal pain. For young children, there is no treatment method, as five colors indicate the colors of the five zang appearing externally. For older children, Ju Fang San Shen Wan (Three-Divine Pills from the Formulary) or Xiao Lai Fu Dan (Small Return-to-Life Pellet) sent down with Wu Ling San may be curable. If medication remains ineffective, it is hopeless. There is also Feng Li (Wind Dysentery), mostly yellow-brown, similar to Gan Xie (Malnutrition Diarrhea), differing only in odor. This is wind toxin stagnating in the spleen; remove spleen meridian wind toxin, use Xie Huang San (Drain Yellow Powder) as main treatment. If seeing mixed red and white passing for a long time uncontrollably, with scanty urine, dysuria, heat, cracked lips, red eyes, shortness of breath, irritability, restlessness, extreme thirst for water, anal prolapse, occasional flushed face, and inability to eat, it is difficult to treat. [Xue] Qian Zhong Yang said: Yellow, red, black diarrhea/dysentery are all heat syndromes. Green, white diarrhea/dysentery with undigested grains are all cold syndromes. Dong Yuan said: White indicates damp-heat injuring the qi level; red indicates damp-heat injuring the blood level; mixed red and white indicates both qi and blood are injured. Hai Zang used Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction), Chuan Xiong, and Dang Gui to treat deficiency-type dysentery, and Si Jun Zi Tang with Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger) to treat deficiency-cold dysentery. I once treated cases where fingers/toes were hot and desired cold drinks as excess heat, using Xiang Lian Wan. Cases where fingers/toes were frozen and desired hot drinks as deficiency-cold, using Yi Gong San (Yi Merit Powder) to send down Xiang Lian Wan. If accompanied by heavy body and limb pain, it is damp-heat injuring the spleen; use Sheng Yang Yi Wei Tang (Raise Yang Benefit Stomach Decoction). If urination is difficult, yin and yang are undifferentiated; use Wu Ling San. If damp-heat recedes but chronic dysentery persists, it is spleen qi sinking; use Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) with doubled Sheng Ma (Ephedra Stem/Cimicifugae Rhizoma) and Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix). Diarrhea/dysentery with vomiting or abdominal pain indicates spleen-stomach deficiency-cold; use Yi Gong San plus Pao Jiang (Processed Ginger) and Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix). If transforming into malaria, liver overcomes spleen; use Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction), Sheng Ma, Chai Hu, and Gou Teng (Uncaria Rhynchophylla). If accumulation is gone but dysentery persists, it is spleen qi deficiency; use Si Jun Zi Zi Tang sending down Xiang Lian Wan. If caused by the wet nurse's rich/greasy diet, or the six excesses and seven emotions affecting the child, deduce the cause individually, still treat the mother concurrently, and refer to cold/heat diarrhea and accumulation-abdominal pain syndromes for reference.
