（附论）
健忘这种病，根本原因在于心气虚弱。由于血气衰少，精神昏沉困顿，所以意志动摇混乱，导致容易遗忘。心是君主之官，主宰神明。
如果心受到损伤，就会喜欢遗忘。所谓健忘，就是突然之间忘记原本记得的事情。虽然常说，这个证候都是由过度忧虑引起，损伤了心包络，致使神志居所不清净，遇到事情多遗忘。然而，思虑过度会损伤脾脏，也能让人患上健忘症。治疗时必须兼顾调理心和脾，使神志凝定，意念专注，病症自然消除。

The disease of amnesia (Jianwang) originates from Heart deficiency. Due to the decline and scarcity of Qi and Blood, the Spirit becomes dull and confused, causing the Will to become disordered and prone to forgetting. The Heart is the Official of the Monarch, governing the Shen (Spirit). If the Heart is injured, one tends to forget easily. Amnesia refers to suddenly forgetting things that were previously known. Although it is often said that this syndrome results from excessive worry damaging the Pericardium, leading to an impure dwelling place for the Spirit and frequent forgetting upon encountering events, excessive thinking can also damage the Spleen, causing amnesia. Treatment must simultaneously regulate both the Heart and the Spleen; when the Spirit is concentrated and the Intent is stable, the symptoms will naturally resolve.
