流行之道,壅而不宣,木气横行,土气郁阻,所以为痛为黄。实与黄胆有间。拟宣络化瘀法。

王(右侧脉象)起初肝胃不和,肝木郁结于脾土之中,导致中脘部位疼痛,痛势非常剧烈。到了仲春时节,忽然面目和肢体发黄,小便红赤,尿液沉淀后,底部黄色如柏树汁液一般。至今疼痛时发时止,口吐涎沫。脉象沉弦且带涩意。考察中脘是胃土所居之地,阳明经又是多气多血的部位,如今久病导致气滞留在络脉中,在多气多血之处,气也留阻,血也瘀凝,这是相互关联的道理,必然如此。既然血凝气滞,那么气血流行的通道,壅塞而不能宣通,肝木之气横行,脾土之气郁阻,所以出现疼痛和发黄的症状。这与黄疸病是有区别的。拟定宣通络脉、化瘀的方法。

二诊 中脘部比较舒缓,疼痛也不严重了,这未尝不是一种好转的迹象。然而面目颜色黄退不明显,脉象仍然弦涩。无非是络脉阻滞、气机停滞,气血不能运行。药物既然见效,应当遵循之前的思路进行加减。

Wang (Right pulse) Initially, Liver-Stomach disharmony occurred, with Liver Qi stagnation in the Spleen-Stomach region, causing severe pain in the epigastrium. In mid-spring, sudden jaundice appeared on the face and limbs, with red urine; after sedimentation, the bottom of the urine was yellow like crape myrtle juice. Since then, the pain has come and gone intermittently, accompanied by spitting of saliva. The pulse is deep, wiry, and choppy. Examining the epigastrium as the dwelling place of Stomach Earth, and the Yangming channel as a region abundant in Qi and Blood, prolonged illness leads to Qi stagnation in the collaterals. In this region of abundant Qi and Blood, both Qi and Blood become obstructed and coagulated, which is an inevitable consequence of their interdependence. When Blood coagulates and Qi stagnates, the pathways of circulation become blocked and unventilated. Liver Qi rebels horizontally, and Spleen Earth Qi becomes depressed, resulting in pain and jaundice. This differs from true Jaundice disease (Huangdan). A method to vent the collaterals and resolve stasis is proposed.

Second visit: The epigastrium feels more comfortable, and the pain is not severe, which is undoubtedly a sign of improvement. However, the facial jaundice has not faded, and the pulse remains wiry and choppy. This indicates collateral obstruction and Qi stagnation, preventing Qi and Blood from circulating. Since the medication has been effective, the previous strategy should be maintained with modifications.

Third visit: The disease condition has slightly eased, and the generalized yellow color has somewhat receded. However, Qi stagnation in the epigastrium persists; although the pain is lighter, it has not completely resolved. Collateral Qi is obstructed, and Ying (Nutritive) Qi cannot circulate. Again, resolve Qi-Blood stasis and unblock the collaterals.

Shen (Right pulse) Postpartum deficiency of Qi and Blood fails to control Liver Wood, leading to Liver Wood overacting on Spleen Earth. Slight dietary excess triggers diarrhea, epigastric pain, and belching of putrid odor. The pulse is fine and wiry; the tongue coating is greasy and turbid. With strong Liver and weak Spleen, a method to warm the Middle and promote transportation is proposed, following the principle: "To ascend, one must first descend."

Chao Yiren (Stir-fried Coix Seed, 3 qian), Sharen (Amomum Fruit, 4 qian), Chuan Pu (Magnolia Bark, 1 qian).
Second visit: After warming the Middle and promoting transportation, the pulse and symptoms are stable. Due to strong Liver and weak Spleen, the ascending and descending functions of Spleen and Stomach are disordered, causing upper belching of putrid odor and lower loose stools. The Spleen requires tonification, and the Stomach requires unblocking. A method to nourish the Zang organs and unblock the Fu organs is proposed.

Jin (Left pulse) Liver Wood is inherently hyperactive, overacting on Earth. Stomach Qi loses its descending function, leading to lack of appetite and hunger, night sweats, and occasional lower abdominal pain and distension. It is appropriate to tonify Yang while referencing methods to calm Liver Wood.

Zhou (Left pulse) Damp-Cold lurks internally, slowing down Spleen-Stomach transportation. The Stomach is dull with poor intake. The aversion to cold in the body is not due to external Cold but rather obstruction of Wei (Defensive) Qi.

Chen (Left pulse) Middle Jiao deficiency with Phlegm accumulation, Gallbladder and Stomach failing to descend, Jia (Liver) Wood floating upward. Symptoms include head distension and dizziness, occasional rising of Fire sensation, feeling of bodily floating, and numbness in the four limbs. The pulse is soggy and slippery. The Xuli (Vital Gate) pulsates. The approach is to transform Phlegm and support Middle Qi.

Shen (Left pulse) Middle deficiency with Damp obstruction, leading to inability to eat or feel hungry. Spleen Earth fails to transport, and Stomach Earth fails to descend. Stagnation in the two Earths causes Liver Wood to depress. Like planting, if the soil is loose, the tree thrives; if hard, it withers. Earth disease affecting Wood is generally like this. Currently, all six pulses are fine and wiry with rapidity. The tongue is red with yellow coating, slightly covered with gray mold. Food intake is poor, with Qi rushing up causing hiccups and nausea. If it were Phlegm-Turbidity rising, the pulse would be slippery and large; now being fine, wiry, and rapid, it is undoubtedly Earth deficiency with Wood overacting. Within Earth lies Wood; Wood and Earth are antagonistic. Even with double the usual diet, digestion will decrease, let alone starting from the Spleen-Stomach. To ensure food assimilation, one must first descend Stomach Qi; to descend Stomach Qi, one must first calm Liver Wood. The *Jinkui Yaolue* Ju Yin chapter often uses bitter, sour, and acrid flavors for treatment. Following this intent, we observe the dynamics. The prescription draft is submitted to Mr. Nongfu for discussion.

Second visit: Hiccups and nausea have subsided slightly, appetite has increased marginally, and sleep is somewhat stable. The tongue redness has lightened, and the gray mold has transformed. The pulse is fine, wiry, and still rapid. Mild epigastric pain indicates "Wood within Earth," which can be understood from this. Middle Qi has always been deficient, and Stomach Turbidity heavy. Although Turbidity blocks the Middle, despite two months of harmonizing the Middle and transforming Turbidity with frequent dosing, why has the Turbidity not transformed and the Stomach not harmonized? Primarily because Liver Fire invades the Middle; Turbidity steamed by Fire becomes sticky and difficult to transform. If Stomach Turbid Qi does not descend, Stomach Clear Qi cannot ascend, making inability to eat or feel hungry inevitable. The previous formula supporting Earth and extinguishing Wood was appropriate. Now, again propose supporting Middle Qi, transforming Turbidity, harmonizing the Middle, and still referencing extinguishing Wood, hoping for Liver-Stomach harmony, Clear ascending and Turbid descending, thereby stimulating Stomach Qi, though this is not easy. The prescription draft is submitted for discussion.

Third visit: Supporting Middle and extinguishing Wood has further reduced hiccups and nausea. The white coating on the center of the tongue has fully transformed, and there is a gradual trend of transforming Stomach Turbidity. Liver Wood has also calmed slightly. However, appetite has not significantly increased. Stomach Qi is deficient and not restored; Clear Qi in the Stomach cannot be stimulated. Again, support Middle Qi, nourish the Stomach, and transform Turbidity. Submitted for discussion.

Fourth visit: Qi deficiency and Spleen weakness lead to retention of Damp-Heat, preventing rotation and transportation. Consequently, Dampness overflows into the skin, causing foot swelling leading to skin distension and facial edema. Fear it may spread to the abdomen.

Brother Zinong: The human body consists only of Qi, Blood, Yin, and Yang. Blood is Yin, Qi is Yang; Blood within Qi is Yin within Yang; Qi within Blood is Yang within Yin. The disease started as Summer-Warmth, transforming into an external ulcer. The prevalence of Damp-Heat is evident. The ulcer swelled, ruptured, but did not heal. Excessive loss of pus and fluid depleted Blood within Qi and Qi within Blood, leading to emaciation and uncontrolled diarrhea. Currently, although diarrhea is gradually stabilizing, urination and defecation remain insecure. Phlegm-Qi rises, causing chest oppression, thirst without desire to drink. The tongue coating is eroded and rotting, with a pale-white substance. Urine is dark black without heat or pain. Limbs are warm, yet there is self-perceived aversion to cold. Taste is perceived, but eating is impossible. The Left Cun pulse is fine and rapid; Guan is wiry and forceful; Chi is fine and choppy. The Right pulse is soggy and weak, slightly slippery upon heavy pressure; Chi is fine and deep. Lung Yin, Stomach Qi, and Kidney Water are all depleted. Damp-Phlegm lingers at the upper opening of the Stomach, preventing tonifying substances from crossing the Stomach gate, causing daily depletion of Qi and Blood. I tentatively discuss with Mr. Rongfang simultaneous tonification of Qi and Blood, using both decoctions and pills, avoiding stagnation in the stomach. Submitted for discussion.

Second visit: Yesterday, simultaneous tonification of Qi and Yin was administered. Phlegm surge has slightly stabilized, sweating upon waking has stopped, and the chest feels freer. The eroded tongue coating has partially transformed, which is undoubtedly a positive sign. However, Damp-Heat lingers, and Jin-Yi fluids are suppressed, unable to distribute upward. Although there is no urge to drink, frequent thirst is felt. The tongue substance is dry, smooth, and lacks fluids. Restlessness and urgency are present, with scanty, painful urination. The wiry and forceful pulse has slightly retracted but remains fine and rapid. Both Qi and Blood are deficient. We worry that herbaceous medicines, lacking emotion, cannot mutually assist. Damp-Heat lies hidden, causing obstructions in nurturing agents. Tentatively discussing with Mr. Rongfang: Kidney is the child of Lung; Metal is the mother of Water. Tonify the upper source of Water, combined with agents that harmonize the middle and transform flow. Submitted for discussion.

Left: Warmly assist Mingmen Fire to vaporize and transform, allowing silent resolution of Phlegm in the Stomach. However, the throat and tongue are dry, so pungent-warm herbs should not be advanced excessively. According to reports, the patient habitually drinks alcohol. Treat according to the pattern of Middle Yang injury failing to rotate.

Left: Food enters the Stomach, but digestion occurs in the Spleen. However, what enables digestion is the stimulation of Yang Qi. After Damp-Warmth, excessive consumption of sweet-cold foods leads to increasing Dampness and decreasing Yang. Thus, after eating, blooming occurs frequently, and the epigastrium feels slightly hard. The pulse is fine and deep. The Stomach Fu organ loses its authority of unblocking and descending. Warm and move the Middle to harmonize, stimulating the rotational Qi of Spleen and Stomach, so that without treating the fullness, it will retreat naturally.
