方剂也有其源流祖方。自从伊尹创制汤液以来，一脉相承，与佛教《传灯录》中的法脉传承没有不同。如果能推究其中的源流，自然能做到心手相应、合乎法度，这确实不是当时一般庸医所能理解和认识的。
治疗风邪伤及卫气，症见脉浮缓、发热、自汗，属于营卫不和。
桂枝（三钱） 白芍（三钱） 甘草（炙，二钱） 生姜（五片） 大枣（四枚，掰开）
以上五味药，用水煎煮后温服。服药后喝热稀粥一盏，以助药力，覆盖衣被取微汗则见效。若不出汗，过一会儿再服。
小建中汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗风木之气乘袭脾土，症见寒热往来、腹痛。
在桂枝汤基础上倍用芍药，加入胶饴三钱。
黄耆建中汤（出自《金匮要略》）：治疗虚劳感受寒邪，症见发热、自汗。
在桂枝汤基础上加入黄耆一钱半，胶饴一合。《千金方》中多加入人参二钱。桂枝汤是调和营卫的方剂，倍用芍药并加入胶饴，便能建立中气。利用芍药的酸味，收敛保护营血；利用胶饴的甘味，培养中焦脾胃之气。再加入黄耆以充实卫气，使营卫和脏腑都调和，从而获益更多。《千金方》在小建中汤中加入当归，名为内补建中汤，其调和内外的力量可想而知。
阳旦汤（出自《千金方》）：治疗冬温病，症见脉浮、发热、项强头痛。
在桂枝汤基础上加入黄芩一钱半。
阴旦汤（出自《千金方》）：治疗冬温病内寒外热，症见肢节疼痛，兼夹寒食停滞。
在桂枝汤基础上加入黄芩一钱半、干姜五分。阴霾之气四塞，若非平旦阳气升发之时，无法打开阳和之气。桂枝汤原名阳旦汤，是打开阳邪的药物。《千金方》在其中加入性味苦寒的黄芩，因其性质较轻，用于治疗冬温在表的邪热，仍称为阳旦汤。如果兼夹寒食停滞，再加辛温散结的干姜，以治疗中焦脾胃的停滞，于是称之为阴旦汤。这与经络的阴阳毫无关系（风马牛不相及）。
千金独活汤：治疗中风突然昏不知人，咽喉闭塞不能言语，四肢松弛无力，手足牵引抽搐。
将桂枝汤中的桂枝改为桂心，去掉大枣，加入独活、栝蒌根、生葛根以发汗。若不得汗，去掉独活、栝蒌根、生姜，加入防己、防风、麻黄。对于失音不语的症状，一并治疗。
当归四逆汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗阳邪侵犯厥阴经，症见四肢厥冷逆乱。
将桂枝汤去掉生姜，加入当归三钱、细辛一钱、通草一钱。邪气侵犯厥阴之界，有入无出，虽有热邪，势必从阴化而后出现厥逆。所以厥阴篇中有“厥深者热亦深”的例子，用以警示传经变化的开端。病邪到了这一步，最为紧迫。医者如果胸中没有成熟的见识，面对疾病将如何措手？张仲景先师却毫不把厥逆放在心上，仍然取太阳病例中的桂枝汤方，加入当归协助芍药，以护持厥阴之营血；细辛引领桂枝，作为厥阴经的向导；通草通利膀胱，以疏通厥阴经的出路，与桂枝平分力量，起到分解病邪的快捷作用。虽然厥阴与太阳两经接壤，但邪气既已入阴，断然不会再传回阳经的道理。前辈关于六经病症有不罢休而再次传变的说法，实在令人喷饭。而在桂枝方中唯独去掉生姜的原因，是恐怕其辛辣性烈，未待气味深入阴分，便从太阳经发散出去，反而使卫气虚弱，还有什么力量来振奋驱除邪气呢？由此推广到大小青龙汤、大小柴胡汤，和解营卫两歧、表里交界之邪，必定使用姜、枣作为一定之法。至于麻黄汤则专门主治寒伤营证，便与生姜无关。等到治疗三阴病等，从未有一方泛用生姜的。生姜虽然是手头常用之物，尚且如此谨慎，何况那些不体察“厥深热深”旨意的人，一见四肢厥冷，就盲目投用姜、附、四逆汤，对此能不感到忧虑吗？
内补当归建中汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗产后血虚，身体虚弱羸瘦不足，腹中刺痛，少腹拘急，或感受寒邪发热。
将桂枝汤中的桂枝改为肉桂，加入当归二钱、胶饴六钱。若有崩漏损伤导致鼻衄不止，加入地黄六钱、阿胶二钱。产后服用四五剂，能使人强壮。
桂枝龙骨牡蛎汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗虚劳梦遗泄精，恶寒发热。
在桂枝汤基础上加入龙骨（捣碎）、牡蛎（煅烧）各一钱半。
桂枝大黄汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗太阴中风误用下法，引邪入内，症见腹部胀满疼痛。
在桂枝汤基础上加入大黄一钱。桂枝汤是解表药，因为误用下法，引邪气内侵而致腹满痛，完全是表邪在内不解的缘故。所以仍用桂枝汤，略微加大黄，因势利导。病情既然变化，药物也不得不随之改变。
桂枝葛根汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗太阳经柔痉，症见自汗、脉浮。
在桂枝汤基础上加入葛根二钱。
栝蒌桂枝汤（出自《金匮要略》）：治疗痉病太阳证具备，身体强直僵硬，脉沉迟。
在桂枝汤基础上加入栝蒌根二钱。
桂枝加附子汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗亡阳漏风，肢体屈伸不利。
在桂枝汤基础上加入熟附子一钱。
桂枝加黄耆汤（出自《金匮要略》）：治疗黄汗病，发热、小腿冷，腰以上出汗，腰以下无汗。
在桂枝汤基础上加入黄耆二钱。
芍桂酒汤（出自《金匮要略》）：治疗汗出如柏汁色，肢体肿胀，发热汗出而口渴。
将桂枝汤去掉甘草、姜、枣，加入黄耆五钱，用苦酒（醋）和水煎煮。
黄耆桂枝五物汤（出自《金匮要略》）：治疗血痹，身体麻木不仁，像中风的样子。
将桂枝汤去掉甘草，加入黄耆等量。《千金方》中桂枝易为桂心，加入人参，名为黄耆汤。
茯苓甘草汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗风邪侵犯膀胱气分，小便不利。
将桂枝汤去掉芍药、大枣，加入茯苓二钱。
苓桂术甘汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗心下有支饮，胸腹胀满，目眩。
将桂枝汤去掉芍药、姜、枣，加入茯苓二钱、白术一钱。这里仅用桂枝汤的一半，以流动中外之支满；兼用四君子汤的一半，以营运在里的痰气。
千金桂枝去芍药加皂荚汤（出自《金匮要略》）：治疗肺痈吐涎沫，初起有表邪者。
将桂枝汤去掉芍药，加入皂荚一枚。（去皮核，用酥油炙烤）
桂枝去芍药加麻黄附子细辛汤（出自《金匮要略》）：治疗气分病，心下感觉如盘状阻塞。
将桂枝汤去掉芍药，加入麻黄一钱、附子一钱、细辛半钱。病在气分，非麻黄、桂枝不能分解；病气盘根错节，非细辛、附子不能破结。去掉芍药，是因为厌恶其酸收之性。
小青龙汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗溢饮喘咳，自利发热，应当发汗。
将桂枝汤去掉姜、枣，加入麻黄三钱、半夏二钱、炮姜半钱、细辛半钱、五味子半钱。
小青龙加石膏汤（出自《金匮要略》）：治疗喘咳上气烦躁，心下有停水。
在小青龙汤基础上加入石膏一块鸡蛋大小。（打碎）
桂枝麻黄各半汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗太阳病脉象微弱、恶寒。
在桂枝汤基础上加入麻黄、杏仁。
桂枝二越婢一汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗营卫俱伤，风多寒少而烦闷胀满。
取桂枝汤原方各二钱，加入麻黄二钱、石膏三钱。
桂枝芍药知母汤（出自《金匮要略》）：治疗肢节疼痛，脚肿得像脱落一样。
将桂枝汤去掉大枣，加入麻黄二钱、白术半两、知母四钱、防风四钱、熟附子二钱。
炙甘草汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗伤寒脉结代、心动悸，以及肺痿唾沫多，心中烦闷不适，虚劳不足，汗出而闷。
将桂枝汤去掉芍药，倍用甘草，加入人参二钱、生地三钱、麦门冬二钱、麻子仁一钱、阿胶二钱。全是清润调补的药中，只用一味桂枝来流动经脉之滞涩，用一味麻仁来滋润肠胃之结燥。而脉虚结代、心虚动悸，一切虚劳不足，得以荣养，则脉虚自然恢复，心悸自然安宁。
芍药甘草汤（出自《玉函经》）：治疗营血受伤，热不止。
将桂枝汤去掉桂枝、姜、枣。
芍药甘草附子汤：治疗发汗后病不解，反见恶寒，以及疮家发汗导致成痉。
将桂枝汤去掉桂枝、姜、枣，加入附子一钱。（炮制）
黄芩汤（《玉函经》又名黄芩芍药汤）：治疗伏气引发的温病，太阳少阳合病自利。
将桂枝汤去掉桂枝、生姜，加入黄芩三钱。
黄芩加半夏汤（《玉函经》、《金匮要略》称黄芩加半夏生姜汤）：治疗伏气引发的温病，内挟痰饮痞满咳逆。
将桂枝汤去掉桂枝，加入黄芩三钱、半夏二钱。黄芩汤本治春夏温热，热自内发，所以在桂枝汤中除去桂枝、生姜的辛温，换以黄芩的苦燥，将温散转为凉解，这是大匠运斤的妙用，不可思议。后世借用它治疗下利身热，也不超出这个范围。其黄芩加半夏汤，治疗自利而呕，与夏秋季节下利白沫的情况，如同符节相合。异病同治，总不出张仲景的法度规范。
Formulas also have their ancestral origins. Since Yi Yin created decoctions, the lineage has been passed down continuously,无异 (no different from) the transmission of the Dharma lamp in Buddhism. If one can trace back to this source, naturally the mind and hand will coordinate perfectly, adhering to the correct principles. This is indeed beyond the comprehension of contemporary mediocre physicians.
Treating wind pathogen injuring the Wei Qi (Defensive Qi), presenting with floating and slow pulse, fever, and spontaneous sweating, indicating disharmony between Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive).
Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction): Guizhi (Ramulus Cinnamomi, 3 qian), Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Alba, 3 qian), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata, 2 qian), Shengjiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens, 5 slices), Dazao (Fructus Jujubae, 4 pieces, split).
Take the above five herbs, decoct in water, and take warm. After ingestion, drink a bowl of hot thin porridge to assist the medicinal power. Cover with blankets to induce slight sweating for efficacy. If no sweat occurs, administer again after a short while.
Xiao Jianzhong Tang (Minor Construct the Middle Decoction, from *Yufang Jing*): Treating Liver Wood overacting on Spleen Earth, presenting with alternating chills and fever, abdominal pain.
Based on Guizhi Tang, double the dosage of Shaoyao, add Yitang (Malt Sugar, 3 qian).
Huangqi Jianzhong Tang (Astragalus Construct the Middle Decoction, from *Jin Gui Yao Lue*): Treating deficiency consumption complicated by cold invasion, presenting with fever and spontaneous sweating.
Based on Guizhi Tang, add Huangqi (Radix Astragali, 1.5 qian), Yitang (Malt Sugar, 1 he). *Qianjin Fang* often adds Renshen (Radix Ginseng, 2 qian). Guizhi Tang harmonizes Ying and Wei. Doubling Shaoyao and adding Yitang establishes Middle Qi. The sourness of Shaoyao astringes and protects Ying Blood; the sweetness of Yitang nourishes Middle Earth. Adding Huangqi solidifies Wei Qi, harmonizing Ying, Wei, and Zang-Fu, thereby yielding great benefit. *Qianjin Fang* adds Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) to Xiao Jianzhong Tang, naming it Neibu Jianzhong Tang, demonstrating its power to harmonize interior and exterior.
Yangdan Tang (Sunrise Dawn Decoction, from *Qianjin Fang*): Treating Winter-Warmth disease, presenting with floating pulse, fever, stiff neck, and headache.
Based on Guizhi Tang, add Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae, 1.5 qian).
Yindan Tang (Yin Sunrise Dawn Decoction, from *Qianjin Fang*): Treating Winter-Warmth with internal cold and external heat, joint pain, complicated by cold-food stagnation.
Based on Guizhi Tang, add Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae, 1.5 qian), Ganjiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Preparatum, 0.5 fen). When yin pathogens block all directions, only the qi of dawn can open up yang harmony. Guizhi Tang was originally named Yangdan Tang, a formula to open up yang pathogens. *Qianjin Fang* adds Huangqin, whose bitter-cold nature is mild, to treat exterior heat pathogens of Winter-Warmth, retaining the name Yangdan. If complicated by cold-food stagnation, add Ganjiang, pungent-warm to scatter nodules, treating middle-earth stagnation, thus named Yindan. This has nothing to do with the yin-yang of meridians.
Qianjin Duhuo Tang: Treating sudden stroke with loss of consciousness, throat obstruction preventing speech, flaccid limbs, and dragging extremities.
Replace Guizhi in Guizhi Tang with Guixin (Cortex Cinnamomi), remove Dazao, add Duhuo (Radix Angelicae Pubescentis), Gualougen (Radix Trichosanthis), and Shengge (Radix Puerariae Lobatae) to induce sweating. If no sweat, remove Duhuo, Gualougen, Shengjiang, and add Fangji (Radix Stephaniae Tetrandrae), Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae), Mahuang (Herba Ephedrae). Treats aphasia as well.
Danggui Sini Tang (Angelica Four Reversals Decoction, from *Yufang Jing*): Treating yang pathogen invading Jueyin, presenting with cold reversals of the four limbs.
Remove Shengjiang from Guizhi Tang, add Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, 3 qian), Xixin (Herba Asari, 1 qian), Tongcao (Medulla Tetrapanacis, 1 qian). Pathogens invading Jueyin enter but do not exit. Even with heat pathogens, they must transform through yin before causing reversals. Thus, the Jueyin chapter cites "deep reversal implies deep heat" to warn of transmission changes. At this stage, pathogens are most urgent. A physician without mature insight would be at a loss. Master Zhang Zhongjing did not fear reversals, retaining Guizhi Tang from Taiyang protocols. He added Danggui to assist Shaoyao in protecting Jueyin Ying; Xinyin guides Guizhi as a guide for Jueyin; Tongchai unblocks Bladder to provide an outlet for Jueyin, sharing strength with Guizhi to rapidly resolve pathogens. Although Jueyin and Taiyang border each other, once pathogens enter yin, they do not return to yang. The notion of six-meridian transmission continuing indefinitely is laughable. Ginger is removed because its pungent-hot nature is violent; it might disperse via Taiyang before reaching yin, weakening Wei Qi, leaving no force to drive out pathogens. Extending this logic to Qinglong and Chaihu formulas, ginger and jujube are fixed methods for harmonizing Ying/Wei and resolving half-exterior/half-interior pathogens. Mahuang Tang treats cold injuring Ying and does not use ginger. In treating Three Yin diseases, ginger is rarely used. If ginger is used so cautiously, how much more caution is needed regarding "deep reversal implies deep heat"? Blindly using Jiang (Ginger), Fu (Aconite), and Sini Tang for cold limbs causes great sorrow.
Neibu Danggui Jianzhong Tang (Interior-Nourishing Angelica Construct the Middle Decoction, from *Yufang Jing*): Treating postpartum blood deficiency, emaciation, abdominal stabbing pain, lower abdominal urgency, or cold-induced fever.
Replace Guizhi with Rougui (Cortex Cinnamomi Cassiae), add Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, 2 qian), Yitang (Malt Sugar, 6 qian). For metrorrhagia or epistaxis that won't stop, add Dihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, 6 qian), Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini, 2 qian). Take 4-5 doses postpartum to strengthen the body.
Guizhi Longgu Muli Tang (Cinnamon Twig with Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell Decoction, from *Yufang Jing*): Treating deficiency consumption with nocturnal emission, aversion to cold, and fever.
Add Longgu (Os Draconis et Mammutis, crushed, 1.5 qian), Muli (Concha Ostreae, calcined, 1.5 qian) to Guizhi Tang.
Guizhi Dahuang Tang (Cinnamon Twig with Rhubarb Decoction, from *Yufang Jing*): Treating Taiyang wind strike mismanaged with purgatives, leading pathogens inward, causing abdominal fullness and pain.
Add Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, 1 qian) to Guizhi Tang. Guizhi Tang is an exterior-resolving formula. Misuse of purgatives drew pathogens inward, causing fullness/pain due to unresolved exterior pathogens. Thus, retain Guizhi Tang, slightly adding Dahuang to guide pathogens out according to their trend. As the disease changes, the formula must change accordingly.
Guizhi Gegen Tang (Cinnamon Twig with Kudzu Root Decoction, from *Yufang Jing*): Treating Taiyang soft spasm, presenting with spontaneous sweating and floating pulse.
Add Gegen (Radix Puerariae Lobatae, 2 qian) to Guizhi Tang.
Gualou Guizhi Tang (Trichosanthes Cinnamon Twig Decoction, from *Jin Gui Yao Lue*): Treating spasm with complete Taiyang symptoms, rigid body, and deep-slow pulse.
Add Gualougen (Radix Trichosanthis, 2 qian) to Guizhi Tang.
Guizhi Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig with Aconite Decoction, from *Yufang Jing*): Treating Yang collapse with wind leakage, limb stiffness and difficulty in flexion/extension.
Add Shufuzi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata, 1 qian) to Guizhi Tang.
Guizhi Huangqi Tang (Cinnamon Twig with Astragalus Decoction, from *Jin Gui Yao Lue*): Treating Yellow Sweat with fever, cold calves, sweating above waist, no sweat below.
Add Huangqi (Radix Astragali, 2 qian) to Guizhi Tang.
Shaogui Jiu Tang (Paeonia and Cinnamon Wine Decoction, from *Jin Gui Yao Lue*): Treating sweat like cypress juice, limb swelling, fever, sweating, and thirst.
Remove Gancao, Shengjiang, Dazao from Guizhi Tang, add Huangqi (Radix Astragali, 5 qian), decoct with Kujiu (Vinegar) and water.
Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Tang (Astragalus Cinnamon Twig Five Substance Decoction, from *Jin Gui Yao Lue*): Treating Blood Bi, numbness of the body resembling wind strike.
Remove Gancao from Guizhi Tang, add Huangqi (Radix Astragali) in equal parts. *Qianjin Fang* replaces Guizhi with Guixin and adds Renshen, naming it Huangqi Tang.
Fuling Gancao Tang (Poria Cinnamon Twig Decoction, from *Yufang Jing*): Treating wind pathogen invading Bladder Qi division, causing difficult urination.
Remove Shaoyao, Dazao from Guizhi Tang, add Fuling (Poria, 2 qian).
Linggui Zhugan Tang (Poria Cinnamon Twig Atractylodes Licorice Decoction, from *Yufang Jing*): Treating fluid retention under the heart, chest/abdominal distension, dizziness.
Remove Shaoyao, Shengjiang, Dazao from Guizhi Tang, add Fuling (Poria, 2 qian), Baizhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, 1 qian). This uses half of Guizhi Tang to move fluid retention in interior/exterior, and half of Sizijunzi Tang to circulate phlegm-qi inside.
Qianjin Guizhi Qu Shaoyao Jia Zaojiao Tang (Cinnamon Twig Without Paeonia Plus Soap Pod Decoction, from *Jin Gui Yao Lue*): Treating Lung Abscess with salivation, early stage with exterior pathogens.
Remove Shaoyao from Guizhi Tang, add Zaojiao (Fructus Gleditsiae Sinensis, 1 piece, skin/kernel removed, roasted with butter).
Guizhi Qu Shaoyao Jia Mahuang Fuxi Xin Tang (Cinnamon Twig Without Paeonia Plus Ephedra, Aconite, and Asarum Decoction, from *Jin Gui Yao Lue*): Treating Qi division disease, sensation of a plate under the heart.
Remove Shaoyao from Guizhi Tang, add Mahuang (Herba Ephedrae, 1 qian), Fuzi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata, 1 qian), Xixin (Herba Asari, 0.5 qian).
