薛立斋曰∶大抵病有浅深，效有迟速，亦有阴虚阳实，呼吸转移，医者须要胆大
心小。胆欲大者，有决断之才，识见之能，当刺则刺，当攻则攻，不宜攻刺者止之，则
能知标本矣。心欲小者，有救义之心，无苟取之念，富者辞之伤廉，贫者取之伤惠，
须要见利思义，庶称医职。
澄曰∶胆欲大者，非不辨虚实阴阳，不察穴道虚怯，妄施刀针，溷投攻伐，横行
放胆，罔顾病患性命，必须临证时，先看初起时病者元气虚实，次看疮之阴阳险否，
然后用药调治，当攻即攻，可补便补，不可因循耽误，致令变态不虞，认得真确，胆
量方可放大，若临证不多，妄用刀针，乱施攻补，则误事不浅矣。
王肯堂曰∶人身之有经络，犹地理之有界分，治病不知经络，犹捕贼不知界分，
其能无诛伐无过之咎乎！况手足十二经络，有气血多少之分，如手少阳三焦、足少阴
肾、足太阴脾，多气少血；手厥阴心包络、手太阳小肠、足太阳膀胱，多血少气；手
阳明大肠、足阳明胃，多气少血，此其大较也。多血少气者，易愈，多气少血者，难
疗。气多之经，可行其气；血多之经，可破其血，不可执一也。
朱丹溪曰∶臀居小腹之后，而又在其下，此阴中之阴也，其道远，其位僻，虽
曰太阴经多血少气，多血气运不到，气既不到，血亦罕来。中年已后，不可生痈，才
有痛肿，参之脉证，但见虚弱，便与滋补，血气无亏，可保终吉，若用寻常驱热拔毒
舒气之药，虚虚之祸，如指诸掌，可不慎欤！（《心法》）
又曰∶诸经惟少阳厥阴经疮疡，务宜预防，以其气多血少也。其血本少，肌肉
难长，少阳更有相火，遽用破毒之剂，以伐阴血，祸不旋踵。
刘浓宗曰∶凡疮疡，不系膏粱丹毒火热之变，只因虚劳气郁所致，止宜补形气，
调经脉，其疮当自消散，盖不待汗之、下之而已也。其不详脉证，经络受病之异者，
下之先犯病禁经禁，故致失手如此。
又曰∶且夫火热为病，亦有微甚，所谓君火、相火是也。疮疡所发，有痈疽、疖
轻重浅深不同，或止发于一经，或兼二经者，止当求责于一二经，不可干扰余经
也，若东垣处方用药是已。
申斗垣曰∶夫分经审位用药，当知气血多少，多则易愈，少则难痊，外科明此
大理，不致有犯禁忌，颓败坏逆之失也。如手少阳三焦经、手少阴心经、手太阴肺经、
足少阳胆经、足少阴肾经、足太阴脾经，此
六经皆多气少血，凡有疮疡，最难收口。如手厥阴心包络经、手太阳小肠经、足太阳
膀胱经、足厥阴肝经，此四经皆多血少气，凡有疮疡，宜托里。足阳明胃经、手阳明
大肠经，此二经气血俱多，初宜内消，收功易得，故特表而明之，不可一概而论治
也。（《启玄》）
决曰∶多血多气君须记，手经大肠足经胃，多气少血有六经，三焦胆肾心脾肺，
多血少气心包络，膀胱小肠肝无异。记此则知气血多少之异矣。

薛立斋说：大抵疾病有浅深之分，疗效有快慢之别。也有阴虚而阳邪实盛的情况，病情变化迅速，医生必须做到胆大心细。所谓“胆欲大”，是指要有决断的才能和见识的能力，该用针刺的就针刺，该用攻法（如泻下、破瘀等）的就攻治，不适宜攻刺的就要停止，这样才能掌握疾病的本末。所谓“心欲小”，是指要有救死扶伤的道义之心，没有苟且贪利的念头。对富者若因推辞诊治而损害廉洁之名，对贫者若因索取报酬而损害恩惠之德，都必须见到利益时想到道义，这样才符合医生的职责。
顾世澄说：所谓“胆欲大”，并不是指不辨别虚实阴阳，不考察穴位的虚实怯弱，就妄自施用刀针，胡乱投用攻伐药物，横行无忌地放胆行事，不顾及病人的性命。必须在临证时，先看初起时患者的元气是虚还是实，再看疮疡是阴证还是阳证，是否险恶，然后用药调治。该攻的就攻，可补的就补，不要因为犹豫拖延，导致病情发生意想不到的变化。只有认识得真切确切，胆量才可以放大。如果临床经验不多，就妄用刀针，乱施攻补之法，那么造成的误事就不轻了。
王肯堂说：人体有经络，就像地理上有疆界划分一样。治病不知道经络，就像抓贼不知道辖区界限，难道能避免诛伐无辜（误伤正常组织或正气）的罪过吗？况且手足十二经络，有气血多少的区别。例如手少阳三焦经、足少阴肾经、足太阴脾经，是多气少血；手厥阴心包络经、手太阳小肠经、足太阳膀胱经，是多血少气；手阳明大肠经、足阳明胃经，是多气少血，这是大概的情况。多血少气的病证，容易治愈；多气少血的病证，难以治疗。气多的经络，可以行其气；血多的经络，可以破其血，不可拘泥于一种方法。
朱丹溪说：臀部位于小腹之后，又在其下方，这是阴中之阴的部位。其路径遥远，位置偏僻，虽然说是太阴经多血少气，但多血少气则运化不到那里，气既然不到，血也很少来。中年以后，不应生痈疽，一旦有痛肿，参合脉象和症状，只要见到虚弱之象，就给予滋补，使血气不亏损，就可以保全最终吉利。如果使用常规的清热拔毒、舒气的药物，造成虚上加虚的祸患，就像把东西放在手掌上一样明显，能不谨慎吗！（出自《丹溪心法》）
又说：各条经络中，只有少阳经和厥阴经发生的疮疡，务必宜于预防，因为它们气多血少。其血本来就很稀少，肌肉难以生长，少阳经更有相火，如果仓促使用破毒的药物，以伐伤阴血，灾祸就会立刻降临。
刘浓宗说：凡是疮疡，如果不是由于膏粱厚味、丹毒、火热引起的病变，只是因为虚劳和气郁所致，只应当补益形体之气，调和经脉，疮疡自然会消散，根本不需要发汗或泻下。如果不详细诊察脉证，不了解经络受病的差异，就用泻下法，首先侵犯了病禁经和禁经，所以导致失误如此。
又说：而且火热致病，也有轻微和严重的区别，这就是所谓的君火和相火。疮疡的发生，有痈、疽、疖的轻重浅深不同，有的只发于一经，有的兼涉两经，只应当追究责任在一两条经络上，不可干扰其他经络，像李东垣处方用药那样。
申斗垣说：分经审位用药，应当知道气血的多少，气多血多则容易痊愈，气少血少则难以康复。外科医生明白这个大理，就不会触犯禁忌，出现颓败坏逆的失误。例如手少阳三焦经、手少阴心经、手太阴肺经、足少阳胆经、足少阴肾经、足太阴脾经，这六条经络都是多气少血，凡是有疮疡，最难收口。例如手厥阴心包络经、手太阳小肠经、足太阳膀胱经、足厥阴肝经，这四条经络都是多血少气，凡是有疮疡，宜用托里透脓的方法。足阳明胃经、手阳明大肠经，这两条经络气血都多，初期宜内消，收功容易得到，所以特别列出并阐明，不可一概而论治。（出自《外科启玄》）
总结歌诀说：多血多气你要记住，手经是大肠足经是胃，多气少血有六条经，三焦、胆、肾、心、脾、肺，多血少气有心包络，膀胱、小肠、肝没有差异。记住这些就知道气血多少的区别了。

Xue Lizhai stated: Generally, diseases have depths of involvement, and therapeutic effects vary in speed. There are also cases of Yin deficiency with Yang excess, where the condition shifts rapidly through respiration and qi movement. Physicians must possess both boldness and caution. "Boldness" refers to having the talent for decision-making and the ability of insight; when acupuncture is indicated, one should puncture; when aggressive treatment (such as purging or breaking stasis) is indicated, one should attack; when such treatments are not suitable, one should stop. This allows one to understand the root and branch of the disease. "Caution" refers to having a heart dedicated to saving lives and righteousness, without thoughts of opportunistic gain. Refusing to treat the wealthy might harm one's integrity, while charging the poor might harm one's benevolence. One must consider righteousness when facing profit, thus fulfilling the physician's duty.
Gu Shicheng stated: By "boldness," it does not mean failing to differentiate between deficiency and excess, Yin and Yang, or examining whether acupoints are deficient or weak, yet recklessly applying knives and needles, indiscriminately administering aggressive drugs, acting recklessly without regard for the patient's life. When treating clinically, one must first observe whether the patient's primordial qi was deficient or strong at the onset; then examine whether the sore is Yin or Yang, and whether it is dangerous. Only then should medication be used for regulation. If aggression is needed, aggress; if tonification is needed, tonify. Do not delay due to hesitation, causing unexpected changes in the condition. Only when the diagnosis is accurate and clear can one dare to act boldly. If clinical experience is lacking and one recklessly uses knives and needles, randomly applying aggressive or tonifying methods, the resulting errors will be profound.
Wang Kentang stated: The human body has meridians, just as geography has boundaries. Treating disease without knowing the meridians is like catching thieves without knowing the jurisdictional boundaries; how can one avoid the fault of punishing the innocent (damaging healthy tissue or Zheng Qi)? Moreover, the twelve meridities of the hands and feet differ in the abundance of qi and blood. For instance, the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, and Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian have abundant qi and scarce blood; the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, and Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian have abundant blood and scarce qi; the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian and Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian have abundant qi and scarce blood. This is the general rule. Diseases in meridians with abundant blood and scarce qi are easier to cure; those with abundant qi and scarce blood are harder to treat. In meridians with abundant qi, one may regulate qi; in meridians with abundant blood, one may break blood stasis. One must not adhere rigidly to a single method.
Zhu Danxi stated: The buttocks are located behind and below the lower abdomen; this is a yin within yin area. Its pathway is distant, and its location is remote. Although it is said that the Taiyin Meridian has abundant blood and scarce qi, the transport of abundant blood and scarce qi does not reach there easily. Since qi does not reach, blood rarely arrives. After middle age, one should not develop carbuncles. If pain and swelling occur, one must combine pulse and symptom analysis. If weakness is observed, one should immediately provide tonification. As long as qi and blood are not depleted, auspicious outcomes can be ensured. If common heat-clearing, toxin-purging, and qi-regulating herbs are used, the disaster of exacerbating deficiency will be obvious, like objects placed on a palm. Can one not be cautious? (From *Danxi Xinfa*)
He also stated: Among all meridians, sores and ulcers occurring in the Shaoyang and Jueyin meridians require particular preventive measures because they have abundant qi and scarce blood. Blood is inherently scarce, making muscle growth difficult. The Shaoyang meridian also contains Ministerial Fire. If toxic-breaking agents are rashly used to damage Yin blood, disaster will follow immediately.
Liu Nongzong stated: All sores and ulcers, unless caused by rich food, miasma toxins, or fire-heat transformations, are often due to deficiency labor and qi stagnation. It is appropriate only to tonify the form and qi, and regulate the meridians, so that the sores will naturally dissipate, without needing sweating or purging methods. Failing to detail pulse and symptoms, and ignoring differences in meridian pathology, leads to using purging methods that first violate contraindications of disease and meridians, resulting in such mishandling.
He also stated: Fire-heat pathologies vary in severity, known as Sovereign Fire and Ministerial Fire. Sores and ulcers manifest as carbuncles, gangrenes, or boils, differing in lightness, severity, shallowness, and depth. Some occur in a single meridian, others involve two. One should focus responsibility on one or two meridians and not interfere with others, as Li Dongyuan did in his prescriptions.
Shen Douyuan stated: When prescribing based on meridians and locations, one must know the abundance or scarcity of qi and blood. Abundance leads to easy recovery; scarcity makes healing difficult. Surgeons who understand this principle avoid taboos and prevent failures such as necrosis and reversal. For example, the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, and Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian—these six meridians have abundant qi and scarce blood. Sores here are hardest to heal. The Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian, and Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian—these four have abundant blood and scarce qi. Sores here benefit from interior-supporting methods. The Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian and Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian have abundant qi and blood; early stages benefit from internal resolution, making recovery easy. Thus, these are highlighted, and treatment cannot be generalized. (From *Waike Qixuan*)
The concluding rhyme states: Remember abundant blood and qi: Hand meridian is Large Intestine, Foot meridian is Stomach. Six meridians have abundant qi and scarce blood: Sanjiao, Gallbladder, Kidney, Heart, Spleen, Lung. Abundant blood and scarce qi: Pericardium, Bladder, Small Intestine, Liver are no different. Memorizing this reveals the differences in qi and blood abundance.
