喻嘉言曰∶人之体中，肌肉丰盛，乃荣血之旺，极为美事，但血旺易致气衰，久而弥觉其偏也。夫气与血两
相维附，何以偏衰偏旺耶？盖气为主则血流，血为主则气反不流，非真气之衰也，气不流有似乎衰耳。所以一切补
气之药皆不可用，而耗气之药反有可施，缘气得补而愈锢，不若耗之以助其流动之势，久之血仍归其统握之中耳。
（《医通》）
举世皆言气无补法，《局方》、《三因》七气、四磨、六磨等方，其中俱用人参，能无助气为患乎？（按∶《医通》
四磨汤本于《济生》，无木香，有人参。六磨汤则有木香，无大黄。故为是言也）。古人立方用参，非尽为补而
设也。如《局方》七气原以肉桂、半夏为主，而借人参引入气分以散气，岂用补之谓耶。其《三因》七气，纯是辛
散，即用一味人参，但可随诸药建行气之功，不致伤气足矣，何暇逞其补性乎。至于四磨、六磨，不过赖以资应敌
之需，尚恐不及，安能望其补益哉。（同上）（按∶治气大法，愚着《药治通义》亦既论之，宜参阅。）

气下，惊则气乱，劳则气耗，寒则气收，热则气泄，由此变生。若
其气起于一边（按∶原无边字，今据《治活秘方》补），或左或右，循行上下，或在肌肉之间，如锥刀所刺，其
气不得息，令人腹中满，此由惊恐喜怒，或冒寒热，留聚而不散，为郁伏之气，流行随经，上下相传而痛，久
令人痞闷，大便结涩，其脉短涩，谓之聚气，宜此药并趁痛散。

若夫七情之气，属于无形，上下左右，散聚无常，故集辛香之品而流动之。虽二十四味，不厌其繁，譬之韩侯之兵，

喻嘉言说：人的身体中，肌肉丰满丰盛，这是营血旺盛的表现，是非常好的事情。但是血旺容易导致气衰，时间久了更加觉得这种偏颇。气和血互相维系依附，为什么会偏衰或偏旺呢？大概是因为气为主则血液流动，血为主则气反而不流动，这并不是真气的衰弱，而是气不流动看起来像衰弱罢了。所以一切补气药都不可用，而耗气药反而可以使用，因为气得到补益会更加固结闭塞，不如用耗散的方法来助长其流动的态势，久而久之血仍然回归到它的统摄之中。（出自《医通》）
世上的人都讲气没有补法，《局方》、《三因》中的七气汤、四磨汤、六磨汤等方剂，其中都用人参，难道不会导致助气为患吗？（按语：《医通》中的四磨汤本源于《济生》，不含木香，含有人参；六磨汤则含有木香，不含大黄。所以这样说。）古人开方使用人参，并不全是为了补益而设的。如《局方》七气汤原本以肉桂、半夏为主药，而借助人参引入气分来散气，这难道是补益的意思吗？至于《三因》七气汤，完全是辛散的药物，即使只用一味人参，也只是跟随诸药发挥行气的作用，不致伤气就足够了，哪里还顾得上发挥它的补性呢。至于四磨汤、六磨汤，不过是依赖它们来应对敌邪的需要，还担心不够用，怎么能指望它们有补益作用呢。（同上）（按语：治疗气病的大法，我在《药治通义》中已经论述过，宜参阅。）
大三脘散，治疗三焦气逆，解除大便秘滞，消除胸胁满胀和疲乏之气。

以上十一味药，放在同一处捣成粗散，每剂称一分（按语：《活人书》作一两），加水二盏同煎，煎至一盏，去渣，分两次服，温服，以大便通畅为见效。如果能在临睡前常进半剂，按照本法煎服，就能使腑脏调和，不至风气秘滞。如果有人患秘滞症，服用数遍通利药仍未通利的，按照本法煎服，就用此内服药，便能通行，效果极好，极不虚损人气，经验很多了。脚气病，心腹气闷，大便秘滞，最适宜服用。（出自《传家秘宝》）

七气汤，论曰：百病皆生于气。大体不过是由于喜怒悲恐，惊劳寒热。大概喜则气缓，怒则气逆，悲则气消，恐则气下，惊则气乱，劳则气耗，寒则气收，热则气泄，由此变化而生。如果气起于一边（按语：原文无“边”字，今据《治活秘方》补入），或左或右，循行上下，或在肌肉之间，如锥刀所刺，气不得喘息，令人腹中满，这是由于惊恐喜怒，或冒受寒热，留聚而不散，成为郁伏之气，流行随经脉，上下相传而痛，久了令人痞闷，大便结涩，脉象短涩，称为聚气，适宜用此药并趁痛散。

Yu Jiayan said: In the human body, abundant and plump muscles indicate flourishing Ying Blood (nutritive blood), which is an excellent state. However, flourishing blood may easily lead to deficient Qi (vital energy), and over time, this imbalance becomes more pronounced. Qi and Blood mutually support and adhere to each other; why do they become deficient or flourishing unevenly? Generally, when Qi is dominant, Blood flows; when Blood is dominant, Qi fails to flow. This is not a decline of True Qi (original vital energy), but rather Qi appears deficient because it does not flow. Therefore, all tonifying Qi herbs should not be used, whereas herbs that dissipate Qi can actually be applied. Because Qi, when tonified, becomes further obstructed and stagnant, it is better to use dissipation methods to assist its flowing momentum. Over time, Blood will still return to its control. (From *Yi Tong*)
The world generally claims that there is no method for tonifying Qi. Formulas in *Ju Fang* (Prescriptions from the Imperial Medical Bureau) and *San Yin*, such as Qi Qi Tang (Seven Qi Decoction), Si Mo Tang (Four Grinds Decoction), and Liu Mo Tang (Six Grinds Decoction), all contain Ren Shen (Ginseng Root). Could this not cause harm by aiding Qi excessively? (Note: The Si Mo Tang in *Yi Tong* originates from *Ji Sheng*, contains no Mu Xiang (Costus Root), but contains Ren Shen. Liu Mo Tang contains Mu Xiang but no Da Huang (Rhubarb Root). Hence this statement.) Ancient physicians did not prescribe Ren Shen solely for tonification. For instance, Qi Qi Tang in *Ju Fang* originally uses Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark) and Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber) as main herbs, borrowing Ren Shen to guide Qi into the Qi level to disperse Qi stagnation. Is this considered tonification? As for Qi Qi Tang in *San Yin*, it consists entirely of acrid-dispersing herbs. Even if only one dose of Ren Shen is used, it merely follows other herbs to perform the function of moving Qi, preventing injury to Qi, which is sufficient. There is no room to exert its tonifying nature. Regarding Si Mo Tang and Liu Mo Tang, they are relied upon to meet the needs of combating pathogens, let alone expecting them to have a tonifying effect. (Ibid.) (Note: The general principles for treating Qi diseases have been discussed in my work *Yao Zhi Tong Yi*; please refer to it.)
Formulas for Benefiting Qi (Including Phlegm-Fluid Draining Formulas and Stagnation-Dredging Formulas)
Da San Wan San (Great Three Jiao Powder) treats rebellious Qi in the Triple Burner (San Jiao), relieves severe constipation, and reduces chest and hypochondriac fullness with fatigue.
Da Fu Pi (Ampelopsis Radix, 1 liang, roasted yellow) Zi Su (Perilla Leaf with stem, 1 liang) Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome, 3 fen) Du Huo (Angelica Pubescens Root, 1 liang) Chen Xiang (Aquilaria Lignum, 1 liang) Mu Xiang (Costus Root, 3 fen)
Gan Cao (Licorice Root, 3 fen, lightly roasted) Mu Gua (Chaenomeles Fruit, sliced, dried, weighed 1 liang) Chen Ju Pi (Tangerine Peel, soaked in water, white pith removed, 2 fen dry) Bing Lang (Areca Seed, 3 fen, cooked wrapped in flour) Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome, 1 liang)
These eleven ingredients are pounded together into a coarse powder. Each dose weighs 1 fen (Note: *Huo Ren Shu* states 1 liang). Add 2 zhan (units of liquid volume) of water, decoct until 1 zhan remains, remove dregs, and divide into two doses. Take warm. Effect is achieved when bowel movement occurs. If taken regularly at night, half a dose, decocted according to this method, harmonizes the fu organs and prevents wind-Qi constipation. For patients with constipation who have not responded to several doses of purgatives, decoct and take this internal medicine; it promotes smooth passage, is highly effective, and does not damage healthy Qi. It has many successful experiences. It is most suitable for Hong Jiao (foot disease/gout), chest and abdominal Qi oppression, and severe constipation. (From *Chuan Jia Mi Bao*)
He Ji San He San (Harmonizing Three Harmonies Powder from the Imperial Medical Bureau) treats disharmony of the Five Viscera, dysfunction of the Triple Burner, epigastric stuffiness, hypochondriac distension, wind-Qi congestion, limb joint pain, facial puffiness, slight swelling of hands and feet, dryness and astringency of intestines and stomach, and difficult defecation. It can be taken even by the elderly and weak. It also treats back and hypochondriac pain interfering with eating, Hong Jiao attacking upward, chest and abdominal fullness, and constipation. Remove Du Huo and add Qiang Huo (Notopterygium Root) from this formula. Ji Feng San He San (Three Harmonies Powder from *Ji Feng*) removes Chuan Xiong and adds Mu Tong (Akebia Stem) from the He Ji formula (indications same).
Qi Qi Tang (Seven Qi Decoction): Discussion states that all diseases arise from Qi. Generally, it stems from joy, anger, sorrow, fear, shock, labor, cold, and heat. Joy causes Qi to relax; anger causes Qi to rebel; sorrow causes Qi to consume; fear causes Qi to sink; shock causes Qi to scatter; labor causes Qi to deplete; cold causes Qi to contract; heat causes Qi to leak. Changes arise from these. If Qi arises on one side (Note: Original text lacks "side" character, supplemented from *Zhi Huo Mi Fang*), left or right, circulating up and down, or within muscles, feeling like needle or knife pricks, Qi cannot breathe freely, causing abdominal fullness. This is due to fright, joy, anger, or exposure to cold/heat, remaining gathered and不散 (not dispersing), becoming latent Qi. It circulates along meridians, transmitting up and down causing pain. Long-term leads to stuffiness, constipation, short and choppy pulse, called Ju Qi (Accumulated Qi). Suitable for this medicine and Chen Tong San.

(From *Ji Feng*) Zhi Zhi and Zhi Mi Qi Qi Tang treat interference of Seven Emotions (Seven Affects), failure of Yin and Yang to ascend and descend, Qi knotting and congestion, attacking and causing pain. Remove San Leng, add La Gui (Cinnamon Twig) 1 liang, and Ban Xia 3 fen from this formula. Ji Sheng Da Qi Qi Tang (Great Seven Qi Decoction) treats Liu Ju (Six Accumulations), adding Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark) to this formula. (*Huo Fa Mi Fang* names it Ju Qi Tang, indications same.)
Liu Qi Yin Zi (Flowing Qi Infusion) treats disharmony of Five Viscera in men and women, Qi congestion in Triple Burner, chest and heart stuffiness, choking and obstruction, abdominal and hypochondriac distension, vomiting and inability to eat. Also treats upper asthma and rapid breathing, cough with profuse phlegm, facial puffiness, limb swelling, severe constipation, and urinary retention.

(From *Yang Shi*) He Ji names it Mu Xiang Liu Qi Yin. There is also Er Shi Si Wei Liu Qi Yin (Twenty-Four Ingredient Flowing Qi Infusion), named same as Mu Xiang Liu Qi Yin, but lacks Shi Chang Pu and Huo Xiang, contains Chen Xiang (Aquilaria Lignum), Da Huang (Rhubarb Root), Zhi Ke (Aurantium Fruit). From *Ji Yan Fang*. (*Yi Fang Kao* says: Qi patterns differ from other patterns. Other patterns, such as phlegm, blood stasis, food accumulation, belong to tangible forms, thus localized to one area, corner, can be treated with single formulas. As for Qi of Seven Emotions, it belongs to intangible form, scattering up, down, left, right irregularly, so gather acrid-aromatic substances to make it flow. Although twenty-four ingredients, not too many, like Han Hou's army, the more the better.) Divided into Fen Xin Qi Yin (Dividing Heart Qi Infusion) (indications recorded below under Fen Xin Qi Yin).

Ye Shi Chen Xiang Jiang Qi Tang, prescription by Zhao Wuliang Tongpan, removes Chen Xiang from this formula, adds Tian Tai Wu Yao (Tian Tai Angelica Root), Peng E Zhu. (Note: Late father said: Not using Chen Xiang contradicts the formula name. San Yin Wu Ye Chen Xiang San also does not use Chen Xiang.) Wei Sheng Jia Bao Yang Qi Tang (Nourishing Qi Decoction) regulates middle and nourishes Qi, digests food and stops vomiting, removes Chen Xiang from this formula, adds Wu Yao (Litsea Root).
