伤寒病出现腹部胀满、胡言乱语的症状。寸口脉象浮而紧。这是肝气乘袭脾脏的表现。称为“纵”。针刺期门穴。
腹部胀满、胡言乱语,是脾胃的疾病。脉象浮而紧,是肝的脉象。脾病却见到肝脉,这是木行克制土行。经书说:水行克火行,木行克土行,称为“纵”。这属于这种情况。期门穴是肝的募穴,针刺它可以泻除肝经的盛气。
伤寒病发热,怕冷,极度口渴,想喝水,腹部必然胀满,自然出汗,小便通畅。这是病情将要解除的表现。这是肝气乘袭肺脏的表现。称为“横”。针刺期门穴。
伤寒病发热,怕冷,这是肺病。极度口渴想喝水,是肝气胜的表现。《玉函经》说:出现极度口渴,想喝醋浆,由此可知是肝气胜。伤寒病想喝水的会痊愈。如果病不愈反而腹部胀满,这是肝气乘袭肺脏,水液不得运行。经书说:木行克金行,称为“横”。针刺期门穴,以泻除肝的盛气。肝肺气机平和,水液散开而津液得以通调。外在表现为自然出汗,内在表现为小便通畅,从而病愈。
王宇泰说:按照伤寒发热恶寒,是表证。至于自然出汗,则表证已解。极度口渴腹部胀满,是里证。至于小便通畅,则里气自和。所以说病情将要解除。
太阳病,发病两天,反而烦躁,反用熨背法发汗,导致大汗出。大热入胃,胃中津液枯竭,烦躁,必然发生胡言乱语。过了十多天,身体震颤发抖,自行下利的,这是病情将要解除的表现。所以其汗出情况是:腰部以下没有汗,想小便却尿不出,反而呕吐,想失禁,脚底怕冷,大便干硬,小便次数多但脉象不急数,等到大便排出后,头部突然疼痛,这个人脚心必然发热,这是因为谷气下行所致。
发病两天反而烦躁,这是阴气虚弱,不应当发汗。两个“反”字相互照应。“故”字以下,正是申述上文的意思。不应当发汗而熨背,虽然出汗但腰部以下不得汗,所以不解而烦躁,是因为阴气不能下行于下部。所以大便干硬。上部呕吐逆气,下部怕冷。到了十多天,阴气复生,阳气运行,通过下利而病解,是因为谷气下行。
太阳病,发病两天,邪气在表,不应当烦躁,反而烦躁,是热气行于里。反用熨背法发汗,大汗出,则胃中干燥,火热入胃,胃中燥热,烦躁而胡言乱语。到了十多天,身体震颤发抖,自行下利的,是火邪势微,阴气复生,津液恢复。所以说是病情将要解除。火邪去除,大汗出则痊愈。如果腰部以下没有汗,则津液不得下行通调,所以想小便却尿不出。热气上逆而反而呕吐。想失禁,脚底怕冷,是气不得通于下部而虚。津液偏渗,导致大便干硬,小便次数多。经书说:小便次数多的,大便必然干硬。这是因为火热内燥,津液不得下行通调,所以小便不频数且量少。如果火热消退,津液调和,则结硬的大便得到滋润,因而自行排便。大便排完后,头部突然疼痛,是因为先前大便干硬,阳气不得下行通调;既然大便排出,则阳气降下,头部阳气虚,所以突然疼痛。谷气就是阳气。先前阳气不通于下部时,脚底怕冷;现在阳气得以下行,所以脚心发热。
太阳病中风,用火法劫迫发汗,邪风被火热所伤,血气流溢,失去常度。两阳相熏灼,身体发黄。阳盛则想要鼻衄,阴虚则小便困难。阴阳俱虚竭,身体则干枯粗糙。只有头部出汗,到颈部而止。腹部胀满、轻微气喘、口干、咽喉腐烂,或者不大便。时间久了则胡言乱语。严重的甚至出现呃逆,手足躁动不安,抓衣摸床。小便通畅的,其人可治。
火法劫迫发汗,则热盛火炽,以至于阴阳俱竭,变症百出。务必谨慎,务必谨慎。
风为阳邪,因火热之气,则邪风更甚,逼迫血气,使血气流溢,失去常度。风与火气称为两阳。两阳相熏灼,热发于外,必然发生身黄。如果热搏结于经络,为阳盛外热,逼迫血液上行,必然鼻衄。热搏结于内的,为阴虚内热,必然小便困难。如果热消耗血气,血气少,为阴阳俱虚。血气虚少,不能滋养身体,导致干枯粗糙。三阳经络至颈部,三阴至胸中而还。只有头部出汗,到颈部而止,是热气炎上,搏结阳而不搏结阴。《内经》说:各种胀满腹大,都属于热。腹部胀满轻微气喘,是热气内郁。《内经》说:火气内发,上行为口干咽喉腐烂,是火热上熏。热气上而不下,则大便不干硬。如果热气下入胃,消耗津液,则大便干硬。所以说或者不大便。时间久了则胃中躁热,必然发生胡言乱语。《内经》说:病深的,声音为呃逆。火气大甚,正气逆乱,则呃逆。《内经》说:四肢,是诸阳之本。阳盛则四肢充实,火热大甚,所以手足躁动不安,抓衣摸床扰乱。小便通畅的,为火未剧烈,津液未竭,而还可以治疗。
伤寒脉浮,医生用火法强迫发汗,导致亡阳,必然惊狂,坐卧不安的,用桂枝去芍药加蜀漆牡蛎龙骨救逆汤主治。
伤寒脉浮,责求邪气在表。医生用火法劫迫发汗,汗大出的,亡其阳。汗是心之液,亡阳则心气虚。心恶热,火邪内迫,则心神浮越,所以惊狂,坐卧不安。给予桂枝汤,解未尽的表邪。去掉芍药,因为芍药益阴,不适合亡阳的情况。火邪错逆,加蜀漆的辛味以散之。阳气亡脱,加龙骨、牡蛎的涩味以固之。本草说:涩可以去除脱证,龙骨、牡蛎之类的药物就是如此。

Shanghan disease presents with abdominal fullness and delirium. The Cun Kou pulse is floating and tight. This is Liver Qi invading the Spleen. It is called "Zong" (Vertical). Acupuncture at Qimen point.
Abdominal fullness and delirium are diseases of the Stomach and Spleen. A floating and tight pulse is the pulse of the Liver. When a Spleen disease shows a Liver pulse, it is Wood overcoming Earth. The Classics say: Water overcomes Fire, Wood overcomes Earth, this is called "Zong". This belongs to this category. Qimen is the Front-Mu point of the Liver; needling it drains the excess Qi of the Liver meridian.
Shanghan disease with fever, aversion to cold, extreme thirst, desire to drink water, abdominal fullness, spontaneous sweating, and free urination indicates the disease is about to resolve. This is Liver Qi invading the Lungs. It is called "Heng" (Horizontal). Acupuncture at Qimen point.
Shanghan disease with fever and aversion to cold is a Lung disease. Extreme thirst and desire to drink indicate Liver Qi prevailing. The *Yu Han Jing* says: appearing with extreme thirst, desiring to drink vinegar slurry, from this we know Liver Qi prevails. In Shanghan disease, those who desire to drink water will recover. If the disease does not resolve but instead presents with abdominal fullness, this is Liver Qi invading the Lungs, and fluids fail to circulate. The Classics say: Wood overcomes Metal, this is called "Heng". Needling Qimen drains the excess Qi of the Liver. When Liver and Lung Qi are balanced, fluids disperse and body fluids flow freely. Externally manifesting as spontaneous sweating, internally as free urination, the disease resolves.
Wang Yutai states: According to Shanghan, fever and aversion to cold are exterior syndromes. Spontaneous sweating means the exterior syndrome has resolved. Extreme thirst and abdominal fullness are interior syndromes. Free urination means the interior harmonizes itself. Therefore, it is said the disease is about to resolve.
Taiyang disease, on the second day, with restlessness contrary to expectation, was treated with back moxibustion/ironing causing profuse sweating. Great heat enters the Stomach, stomach fluids are exhausted, leading to restlessness and delirium. After more than ten days, if there is trembling and spontaneous diarrhea, this indicates the disease is about to resolve. Thus, the sweating is such that there is no sweat from the waist down, desire to urinate but inability to do so, vomiting, desire to lose urine, aversion to wind at the feet, hard stool, frequent urination but the pulse is not rapid, and after the stool passes, the head suddenly hurts, and the soles of the feet become hot, because grain Qi flows downward.
Restlessness on the second day indicates deficiency of Yin Qi, which should not be treated with sweating. The two "fan" (contrary) characters correspond. The text following "gu" (therefore) elaborates on the previous statement. Not sweating when appropriate but using back ironing causes sweating only above the waist, failing to resolve the restlessness, because Yin Qi cannot descend. Hence hard stool. Vomiting above and aversion to wind below. After ten days, Yin Qi regenerates, Yang Qi moves, resolving through diarrhea because grain Qi descends.
Taiyang disease on the second day, pathogen is in the exterior, should not have restlessness. Restlessness indicates heat moving inward. Back ironing induces sweating, drying the Stomach, allowing fire-heat to enter, causing dryness-heat, restlessness, and delirium. After ten days, trembling and spontaneous diarrhea indicate the fire-pathogen's power is waning, Yin Qi returns, and fluids restore. Thus, resolution. If heat dissipates and fluids harmonize, hard stool moistens and passes naturally. After stool passage, sudden head pain occurs because previously Yang Qi could not descend; now that stool passes, Yang Qi descends, leaving the head deficient in Yang, hence sudden pain. Grain Qi is Yang Qi. Previously, when Yang Qi did not reach the lower part, feet were cold; now Yang Qi descends, so soles are hot.
Taiyang Wind strike, treated with fire coercion to induce sweating, pathogenic wind is damaged by fire, blood and Qi overflow, losing their normal rhythm. Two Yangs scorch each other, causing jaundice. Excess Yang leads to epistaxis, deficiency of Yin leads to difficult urination. Both Yin and Yang are depleted, body becomes dry and rough. Only head sweats, stopping at the neck. Abdominal fullness, slight wheezing, dry mouth, throat ulceration, or constipation. Prolonged, delirium occurs. Severe cases show hiccups, restless limbs, picking at clothes and bed. Free urination indicates treatability.
Fire coercion causes intense heat, depleting Yin and Yang, leading to myriad complications. Be cautious.
Wind is a Yang pathogen; combined with fire, it intensifies, forcing blood and Qi to overflow. Wind and fire are called Two Yangs. Scorching externally causes jaundice. Heat binding meridians causes Yang excess external heat, forcing blood upward causing epistaxis. Heat binding internally causes Yin deficiency internal heat, leading to difficult urination. Heat consuming blood and Qi leads to dual deficiency of Yin and Yang, causing dryness. Three Yang meridians reach the neck, Three Yin reach the chest. Head-only sweating stopping at the neck indicates heat flaring upward, affecting Yang but not Yin. *Nei Jing* states: all distension and abdominal enlargement belong to heat. Abdominal fullness and slight wheezing indicate internal heat stagnation. *Nei Jing* states: internal fire manifests as dry mouth and throat ulceration due to heat steaming upward. Heat rising without descending keeps stool soft; heat descending to Stomach consumes fluids, hardening stool. Prolonged heat causes delirium. *Nei Jing* states: deep disease manifests as hiccups due to chaotic Zheng Qi. *Nei Jing* states: limbs are the root of Yang; Yang excess makes limbs solid; severe fire causes restless limbs and picking behaviors. Free urination indicates mild fire and preserved fluids, thus treatable.
Shanghan with floating pulse, treated by doctor with fire coercion, leading to collapse of Yang, resulting in fright, mania, and restlessness, is treated with Guizhi Tang minus Shaoyao plus Shuqi, Muli, and Longgu, named Jiuni Tang.
Floating pulse indicates pathogen in the exterior. Fire coercion causes profuse sweating, collapsing Yang. Sweat is the fluid of the Heart; collapsing Yang deficiences Heart Qi. Heart dislikes heat; internal fire forces Shen to float, causing fright, mania, and restlessness. Give Guizhi Tang to resolve remaining exterior pathogen. Remove Shaoyao as it nourishes Yin, unsuitable for Yang collapse. Add Shuqi's acridity to scatter fire-pathogen chaos. Add Longgu and Muli's astringency to secure collapsed Yang. Materia Medica states: astringents treat collapse, exemplified by Longgu and Muli.
