Heart Labor refers to a condition where Ying Blood (nutritive blood) is gradually depleted, manifesting as mental restlessness, spiritual fatigue, dry mouth and throat. The appropriate treatment is to harmonize and tonify Ying and Wei (defensive) Qi, and to calm and nourish the Shen (spirit). The principal formula is Zhai Zhong Tang.

Asparagi Radix (Tian Dong, 2 qian)

Biota Semen (Bai Ren, 2 qian)

Nelumbinis Semen (Lian Zi, 20 grains, heart removed)
The author formulated this prescription based on the principle from *Nan Jing* (Classic of Difficult Issues): "For damage to the Heart, regulate its Ying and Wei." Ginseng, Astragalus, Poria with Pine Wood, and Polygala are used to tonify Heart Qi. Wei Qi belongs to Qi, and Qi can generate Shen. Salvia, Biota Seed, Angelica, and White Peony Root are used to tonify Heart Blood. Ying Blood belongs to Blood, and Blood can nourish Shen. Tonifying Qi and Blood not only harmonizes Ying and Wei but also calms the Shen. Lotus seed is used to stabilize Spleen Qi, as Heart and Spleen share a mother-son relationship; Asparagus root is used to nourish Kidney Yin, as Heart and Kidney exist in a state of mutual interaction (Ji Ji). Placenta Humana is used because it is the origin of human life creation, possessing unique efficacy in tonifying congenital Yuan Qi. Annotated by Zu Yi.
Lung Labor refers to a condition of severe deficiency of Lung Qi, manifesting as low-grade fever, shortness of breath, dry mouth and throat, and in severe cases, coughing up blood. The principal formula is Yi Qi Bu Fei Tang.

Coicis Semen (Yi Yi Ren, 4 qian)
Oriza Sativa Grain (Nuomi, one pinch, decocted in water to replace cooking water)
The author formulated this prescription based on the principle from *Nan Jing*: "For damage to the Lung, benefit its Qi." The combination of Ginseng, Ophiopogon, and Schisandra follows the method of Sheng Mai San (Generate the Pulse Decoction), while Columba Colla, Lilium Bulb, and Asparagus root are used to tonify Lung Yin, because Qi is essentially Water, and Water can transform into Qi. Coix seed and Poria are used to harmonize Spleen and Lung, while Fritillaria, Lycium Bark, and Coix seed are used to clear deficient heat and stop hemoptysis. When the Lung is moistened, Lung Qi becomes regulated, thereby establishing the generative cycle of Metal and Water (Jin Shui Xiang Sheng). Annotated by Zu Yi.
