四物二连汤 治重阳无阴。昼夜发热。
四物汤加宣黄连、胡黄连。按此本为重阳无阴。昼夜发热而立。必其人时火亢极于阴分。
乃为相宜。以阳邪炎威。故曰重阳。阴欲消亡。是即无阴。非真阴补虚之谓。盖阳全阴半。阳得以
统阴。所以昼夜皆热。若阴气自病。断无上午阳分发热之理。每见时师用以治虚劳蒸热及血虚发
热之疾。服之未有不呕泻夺食者。曷知方下原治发热。未尝言蒸热也。夫热发于外。虽滞于阴。
实为客邪。热蒸于内。阴不济阳。证属久虚。可不辨而混治乎。其阴虚蒸热。自有六味地黄。血
虚发热。自有当归补血。亦何藉于此哉。

四物汤加秦艽、生地黄、羌活、独活、防风、细辛、茯苓、白术、白芷、黄芩、石膏、甘草。
张景岳曰。大秦艽汤在机要发明。俱云治中风外无六经之形证。内无便溺之阻隔。如是血弱不能养筋。
宜养血而筋自荣。以大秦艽汤、羌活愈风汤主之。大秦艽汤虽有补血之药。而寒散之剂居其半矣。
夫既无六经之外邪而用散。何为也。既无阻隔之火邪而用寒。何为也。寒散既多。又果可养血气
而壮筋骨乎。秦艽汤且不可。愈风汤则尤其不可者也。吾不知用此法
者。果出何意。

增损四物汤（出自《局方》）：治疗血虚发热，食欲不振，大便稀溏。
在四物汤基础上去掉熟地黄，加入人参、甘草、炮姜。
加减四物汤：治疗经血停闭、血行瘀滞，少腹部结聚疼痛。
将四物汤中的白芍药换成赤芍药，并加入三棱、蓬术、肉桂、干漆灰。

在四物汤基础上去掉熟地黄，加入黄芩、白术研为散剂。用温水送服一方寸匕，每日三次。
千金芎汤：治疗产后崩漏，下血不止。
将四物汤中的熟地黄换成干地黄，并加入黄耆、甘草、干姜、吴茱萸。如果是夏季月经后，仍有赤白带下不止，去掉地黄，加入杜仲、人参。
三黄补血汤：治疗血虚导致夜间发热、自汗。
在四物汤基础上加入生地黄、黄耆、升麻、柴胡、丹皮。
四物二连汤：治疗阳盛阴亏（重阳无阴），昼夜发热。
在四物汤基础上加入宣黄连、胡黄连。按此方原本是为“重阳无阴”、昼夜发热而设立的。必须是因为患者此时火邪亢极于阴分，才适宜使用。因为阳邪炎威炽盛，所以称为“重阳”；阴气欲消亡，这就是“无阴”，并非指真正的阴虚补虚之谓。大概是因为阳全阴半，阳气得以统摄阴气，所以昼夜都发热。如果是阴气自身生病，断没有上午阳分发热的道理。我常见当时的医生用它来治疗虚劳蒸热及血虚发热之疾，服用后没有不出现呕吐、腹泻、损伤食欲的。哪里知道方子原文主治是发热，并未提及蒸热。热发于体表，虽然滞留于阴分，实则是外来的客邪；热蒸于体内，阴不能济助阳，证候属于久病体虚，怎能不加以辨别而混淆治疗呢？至于阴虚导致的蒸热，自有六味地黄丸；血虚导致的发热，自有当归补血汤，又何必借助于此方呢？
大秦艽汤：治疗中风，外在没有六经形证，内在没有大小便阻隔，适宜用此方养血以濡养筋脉，血行通畅则风邪自灭。
在四物汤基础上加入秦艽、生地黄、羌活、独活、防风、细辛、茯苓、白术、白芷、黄芩、石膏、甘草。
张景岳说：《机要》中关于大秦艽汤的发明论述，都说它治疗中风，外在没有六经的形证，内在没有大小便的阻隔。像这样血弱不能濡养筋脉，适宜养血则筋脉自然荣润，以大秦艽汤、羌活愈风汤为主治。大秦艽汤虽然有补血药物，但寒凉发散的药物占了一半。既然没有六经的外邪却用发散药，这是为什么？既然没有阻隔的火邪却用寒凉药，这是为什么？寒凉发散药既多，果真能养血气、壮筋骨吗？大秦艽汤尚且不可取，愈风汤更是尤其不可取。我不知道使用这种方法的人，究竟出于什么意图。
独活寄生汤（出自《千金方》）：治疗风痹导致的腰脚疼痛沉重。
在四物汤基础上加入独活、桑寄生、杜仲、牛膝、细辛、秦艽、茯苓、桂心、防风、人参、甘草。
《古今录验》中没有桑寄生，有续断；《肘后备急方》中没有桑寄生、人参、甘草、当归，有附子。适用于产后腹痛不能转动，以及腰脚挛痛，不能屈伸，痹弱无力者，适宜服用此汤。
十味锉散：治疗湿痹导致的周身疼痛。
在四物汤基础上加入白术、附子、防风、茯苓、黄耆、肉桂。这就是十全大补汤，去掉了人参、甘草的甘缓补气作用，而加入附子、防风以通达内外。
玉烛散：治疗血热导致的大便秘结。
将四物汤中的熟地黄换成生地黄，加入生甘草、酒大黄、玄明粉、生姜。《万全方》中没有大黄、玄明粉，改用青皮、枳壳。
胶艾汤：治疗陷经下血，孕妇胎漏不止。
四物汤中使用干地黄，加入阿胶、甘草、艾叶。用清酒和水各一半煎服。（另一版本多加干姜。）《千金方》中没有地黄、芍药。
丁香胶艾汤：治疗经漏兼带下白带。
在四物汤基础上加入丁香、阿胶、艾叶。
加味香附丸：治疗倒经、自汗、胎漏下血。
四物汤原方用熟地黄八两，当归、白芍各四两，川芎三两。加入四制香附一斤，泽兰叶、乌贼骨各六两。研为末，用浮麦面、酒、醋、水调成糊状制成丸药，如绿豆大小。每次服用一百丸，早晚各一次，温酒或沸汤任其送下。
艾煎丸（出自《局方》）：治疗妇人崩伤淋沥，带下赤白，小腹部疼痛。
四物汤原方中当归、熟地黄、白芍各二两，川芎一两。加入人参、石菖蒲（炒）、吴茱萸（选用开口者，醋炒）各一两。研为末，用蕲艾四两，酒煎浓汁，加入糯米糊制成丸药，如梧桐子大。每次服用一百丸，用纯酒送下。如果再加肉桂、熟附子各一两，香附四两，名为艾附丸。
金匮温经汤：治疗经水不调、崩漏带下，以及唇口干燥。并治疗经阻不通，咳嗽便血，这是肺移热于大肠所致。
在四物汤基础上去掉熟地黄，加入阿胶、甘草、人参、肉桂、吴茱萸、牡丹皮、麦门冬、半夏、生姜。如果再加白术，名为大温经汤。此方本是在胶艾汤基础上建立的，因为虚火上炎、唇口干燥，所以用麦冬；浊湿下渗、不时带下，所以用半夏。如果没有这两个证候，不必拘泥于成方。
芎归汤及散：治疗妊娠期间胎气不转运。
在四物汤基础上去掉熟地黄、白芍药。汤剂则煎服，散剂则用酒调服，以验证胎息。如果是真胎，服用后即会胎动，药材未经火炒才有效。
佛手散：治疗产妇胎儿不得下行。
在四物汤基础上去掉熟地黄、白芍药，等分，炒后研为散剂，用红酒调服。
加味佛手散：治疗产妇交骨不开。
在四物汤基础上去掉熟地黄、白芍药。原方中当归用三钱，川芎用一钱。加上拣选过的人参三五钱，如果失血过多，加至一两。临服用时加入童便半盏，慢慢进服。体质强壮、气实者，只需加童便，不用人参也可以。
紫苏饮：治疗妊娠临近预产期，出现浮肿、喘胀。
在四物汤基础上去掉熟地黄，加入紫苏、陈皮、大腹皮、人参、甘草、生姜、葱白。如果感冒风寒，去掉大腹皮，加入香豉。胎动不安，加入黄芩、白术。胎不运动，加入木香、砂仁。身体肥胖且气滞，加入半夏、厚朴。虚弱消瘦、气短，加入白术并倍用人参。
达生散：治疗妊娠九个月后，服用数剂则可易于生产。
紫苏饮去掉川芎，加入白术、黄杨脑三枚。
芎归鳖甲饮：治疗劳疟久不止，或暂时停止后又复发。

续命煮散：治疗风虚导致的昏愦、自汗，手足抽搐。
在四物汤基础上加入人参、甘草、桂心、远志、防风、独活、细辛、葛根、荆芥。半夏研为散剂，每次服用一两，加生姜三片，水煎，通口服。汗多者，去掉葛根，加入牡蛎。

Treats Ying-Blood deficiency with heat.
Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root, 2 qian) Dang Gui Shen (Body of Angelica Sinensis Root, 1 qian) Bai Shao Yao (White Peony Root, 1.5 qian) Chuan Xiong (Szechwan Lovage Rhizome, 0.8 fen)
The above four ingredients. Decoct in water. Take warm. Contraindicated for those who are obese and have much damp-phlegm, as well as for those with vomiting/nausea, poor appetite, and loose stools.
Zeng Sun Si Wu Tang (Modified Four Substances Decoction, from *Ju Fang*): Treats blood deficiency fever, poor appetite, and loose stools.
Remove Shu Di Huang from Si Wu Tang. Add Ren Shen (Ginseng Root), Gan Cao (Licorice Root), Pao Jiang (Processed Ginger).
Jia Jian Si Wu Tang (Modified Four Substances Decoction): Treats amenorrhea due to blood stasis, and knotting pain in the lower abdomen.
Replace Bai Shao Yao with Chi Shao Yao (Red Peony Root) in Si Wu Tang. Add San Leng (Burreed Tuber), Peng Ze (Curcuma Zedoaria Rhizome), Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark), Gan Qi Hui (Ash of Dried Lacquer).
Si Wu Tang (Four Black Decoction - Note: Text says Si Wu Tang but ingredients suggest a variation often called Si Wu Tang or similar; context implies a specific modification named Si Wu here, likely referring to a formula with Wu Yao etc., but strictly translating the name provided): Treats qi stagnation within blood, and urgent pain in the lower abdomen.
Add Wu Yao (Lindera Root), Xiang Fu (Cyperus Rhizome), Gan Cao (Licorice Root) to Si Wu Tang.
Si Shen San (Four Spirit Powder): Treats postpartum blood deficiency, or abdominal pain due to blood stasis.
Remove Shu Di Huang from Si Wu Tang. Add Pao Jiang (Processed Ginger). Grind into powder. Take one fang cun bi with warm wine.
Jin Gui Dang Gui Shao Yao San (Angelica and Peony Powder from the Golden Cabinet): Treats various pains in the abdomen.
Remove Shu Di Huang from Si Wu Tang. Add Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Fu Ling (Poria), Ze Xie (Alisma Rhizome). Grind into powder. Take one fang cun bi with wine. Three times daily.
Dang Gui San (Angelica Powder): Treats fetal unrest during pregnancy.
Remove Shu Di Huang from Si Wu Tang. Add Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root), Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome). Grind into powder. Take one fang cun bi with water. Three times daily.
Qian Jin Xiong Tang (Thousand Gold Ligusticum Decoction): Treats postpartum metrorrhagia, with continuous bleeding.
Replace Shu Di Huang with Gan Di Huang (Dried Rehmannia Root) in Si Wu Tang. Add Huang Qi (Astragalus Root), Gan Cao (Licorice Root), Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger), Wu Zhu Yu (Evodia Fruit). If in summer after menstruation, there is continuous red and white discharge, remove Di Huang. Add Du Zhong (Eucommia Bark), Ren Shen (Ginseng Root).
San Huang Bu Xue Tang (Three Yellows Blood-Nourishing Decoction): Treats night fever and spontaneous sweating due to severe blood deficiency.
Add Sheng Di Huang (Fresh Rehmannia Root), Huang Qi (Astragalus Root), Sheng Ma (Cimicifuga Rhizome), Chai Hu (Bupleurum Root), Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex) to Si Wu Tang.
Si Wu Er Lian Tang (Four Substances with Two Coptises Decoction): Treats "Chong Yang Wu Yin" (Excess Yang and Deficiency of Yin), causing fever day and night.
Add Xuan Huang Lian (Coptis Chinensis Rhizome), Hu Huang Lian (Picrorhiza Rhizome) to Si Wu Tang. Note: This formula was originally established for "Chong Yang Wu Yin" and day-night fever. It is suitable only when fire pathogen is extremely hyperactive in the Yin aspect. Because the Yang pathogen's blazing power is intense, it is called "Chong Yang"; Yin Qi desires to perish, which is "Wu Yin". This does not refer to true Yin deficiency requiring tonification. Generally, Yang is whole and Yin is half; Yang can command Yin, hence fever occurs day and night. If Yin Qi itself were diseased, there would absolutely be no logic for fever in the Yang aspect during the morning. I often see contemporary physicians use this to treat deficiency consumption steaming-heat and blood deficiency fever. Those who take it invariably suffer vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. How do they not know that the original text of the formula treats "fever," not "steaming-heat"? Heat arising externally, though lingering in Yin, is actually an exogenous pathogen. Heat steaming internally, where Yin cannot assist Yang, belongs to chronic deficiency. Can one confuse treatments without differentiation? For Yin deficiency steaming-heat, there is Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia); for blood deficiency fever, there is Dang Gui Bu Xue Tang (Angelica Blood-Nourishing Decoction). Why rely on this formula?
Da Qin Jiao Tang (Great Ligusticum Decoction): Treats wind-stroke where there are no exterior Six Channels manifestations and no interior obstruction of urination or defecation. It is suitable for nourishing blood to moisten sinews; when blood flows, wind extinguishes itself.
Add Qin Jiao (Gentiana Macrophylla Rhizome), Sheng Di Huang (Fresh Rehmannia Root), Qiang Huo (Notopterygium Rhizome), Du Huo (Angelica Pubescens Root), Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia Root), Xi Xin (Asarum Root), Fu Ling (Poria), Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Bai Zhi (Angelica Dahurica Root), Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root), Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum), Gan Cao (Licorice Root) to Si Wu Tang.
Zhang Jing Yue said: In *Ji Yao*, regarding Da Qin Jiao Tang, it is stated that it treats wind-stroke with no exterior Six Channels manifestations and no interior urinary/fecal obstruction. Thus, weak blood fails to nourish sinews; it is appropriate to nourish blood so sinews become prosperous naturally, using Da Qin Jiao Tang and Qiang Huo Yu Feng Tang (Notopterygium Wind-Expelling Decoction) as main treatments. Although Da Qin Jiao Tang contains blood-nourishing herbs, half of them are cold and dispersing agents. Since there is no exterior pathogen of the Six Channels, why use dispersing agents? Since there is no obstructing fire pathogen, why use cold agents? With so many cold and dispersing agents, can they truly nourish blood-Qi and strengthen sinews and bones? Da Qin Jiao Tang is already questionable; Qiang Huo Yu Feng Tang is even more unacceptable. I do not know what intent the users of this method have.
Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang (Angelica Pubescens and Taxillus Decoction, from *Qian Jin Fang*): Treats wind-bi causing heavy pain in the waist and legs.
Add Du Huo (Angelica Pubescens Root), Sang Ji Sheng (Taxillus Branch), Du Zhong (Eucommia Bark), Niu Xi (Achyranthes Root), Xi Xin (Asarum Root), Qin Jiao (Gentiana Macrophylla Rhizome), Fu Ling (Poria), Gui Xin (Cinnamon Twig Heart), Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia Root), Ren Shen (Ginseng Root), Gan Cao (Licorice Root) to Si Wu Tang.
*Gu Jin Lu Yan* lacks Sang Ji Sheng but has Xu Duan (Dipsacus Root); *Zhou Hou* lacks Sang Ji Sheng, Ren Shen, Gan Cao, Dang Gui, but has Fu Zi (Aconite Lateral Root). Suitable for postpartum abdominal pain preventing movement, and spasmodic pain in waist and legs preventing flexion and extension, with bi weakness. It is suitable to take this decoction.
Shi Wei Cuo San (Ten-Ingredient Cut Powder): Treats wet-bi causing pain throughout the body.
Add Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Fu Zi (Aconite Lateral Root), Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia Root), Fu Ling (Poria), Huang Qi (Astragalus Root), Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark) to Si Wu Tang. This is essentially Shi Quan Da Bu Tang (Ten Complete Great Tonifying Decoction), removing the sweet-slowing Qi-tonifying effects of Ren Shen and Gan Cao, and adding Fu Zi and Fang Feng to unblock interior and exterior.
Yu Zhu San (Jade Candle Powder): Treats constipation due to blood-heat.
Replace Shu Di Huang with Sheng Di Huang (Fresh Rehmannia Root) in Si Wu Tang. Add Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Licorice Root), Jiu Da Huang (Rhubarb processed with wine), Xuan Ming Fen (Mirabilite), Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger). *Wan Quan Fang* lacks Da Huang and Ming Fen, substituting Qing Pi (Citrus Reticulata Green Peel) and Zhi Ke (Aurantii Fructus).
Jiao Ai Tang (Donkey-hide Gelatin and Mugwort Decoction): Treats sinking menstruation with bleeding, and persistent fetal leakage in pregnant women.
Use Gan Di Huang (Dried Rehmannia Root) in Si Wu Tang. Add E Jiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), Gan Cao (Licorice Root), Ai Ye (Mugwort Leaf). Decoct with half clear wine and half water. (Another version adds Gan Jiang/Dried Ginger.) *Qian Jin Fang* lacks Di Huang and Shao Yao.
Ding Xiang Jiao Ai Tang (Clove Donkey-hide Gelatin and Mugwort Decoction): Treats menstrual leakage accompanied by leukorrhea.
Add Ding Xiang (Clove), E Jiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), Ai Ye (Mugwort Leaf) to Si Wu Tang.
Jia Wei Xiang Fu Wan (Modified Cyperus Pill): Treats retrograde menstruation, spontaneous sweating, fetal leakage, and bleeding.
Original Si Wu Tang uses Shu Di Huang 8 liang, Dang Gui and Shao Yao 4 liang each, Xiong 3 liang. Add Si Zhi Xiang Fu (Four-Processed Cyperus Rhizome) 1 jin, Ze Lan Ye (Lycopus Leaf), Ou Hai Gu (Cuttlefish Bone) 6 liang each. Grind into powder. Use Fu Mai Mian (Floating Wheat Flour), wine, vinegar, and water to make a paste for pills, sized like mung beans. Take 100 pills per dose, morning and evening. Take with warm wine or boiling water as desired.
Ai Jian Wan (Mugwort Decoction Pill, from *Ju Fang*): Treats women's metrorrhagia and dripping, red and white leukorrhea, and lower abdominal pain.
Original Si Wu Tang uses Dang Gui, Di Huang, Shao Yao 2 liang each, Chuan Xiong 1 liang. Add Ren Shen (Ginseng Root), Shi Chang Pu (Acorus Rhizome, stir-fried), Wu Zhu Yu (Evodia Fruit, using open ones, vinegar-fried) 1 liang each. Grind into powder. Use Qi Ai (Qicheng Mugwort) 4 liang, decoct in wine for thick juice. Mix with sticky rice paste to form pills, sized like wutong seeds. Take 100 pills per dose, with pure wine. If adding Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark) and Shu Fu Zi (Prepared Aconite Lateral Root) 1 liang each, and Xiang Fu 4 liang, it is named Ai Fu Wan (Mugwort and Cyperus Pill).
Jin Gui Wen Jing Tang (Golden Cabinet Warming Meridian Decoction): Treats irregular menstruation, metrorrhagia, and leukorrhea, as well as dry lips and mouth. Also treats obstructed menstruation, cough, and hematochezia, which is lung heat transferring to the large intestine.
Remove Shu Di Huang from Si Wu Tang. Add E Jiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), Gan Cao (Licorice Root), Ren Shen (Ginseng Root), Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark), Wu Zhu Yu (Evodia Fruit), Mu Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex), Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber), Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger). If adding Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), it is named Da Wen Jing Tang (Great Warming Meridian Decoction). This formula is based on Jiao Ai Tang. Because deficient fire flares upward causing dry lips and mouth, Mai Men Dong is used. Because turbid dampness seeps downward causing intermittent leukorrhea, Ban Xia is used.
