论直中阴寒 论中暑
天师曰∶专治者，专治一脏，单刀直入之谓也。如人病直中阴经寒症，势如奔马，不可止遏。倘征
兵分调于各路，势必观望低徊，而不能急遽以救主，不若止用一二大将，斩
关直进之为得也。方用人参一两，附子二钱，水煎服即愈，方名参附汤。用之却有至理。盖寒邪直入肾
脏，邑主外亡，市民逃窜，贼人且驱倾城之民，尽为盗贼，上犯潢池，其锋不可当。此时若号召邻邑之
兵，则缓不济事，故不若即此具师，推大将登坛，以兵马之权尽归之，令其奋勇当先，突围冲入，斩杀剪
除，城安民乐，前途倒戈，返兵而逐贼矣。方中用附子者，如大将也，用人参者，乃兵马也。身如城郭，
药可借观，生死相同，足以显譬。愿人深思，自得之专治之法。
张公曰∶专治之法，归属直中阴寒之症，绰乎有理。但直中一门，不止一方尽之。吾传一门，可畅观
之，而治无遗法也。
华君曰∶余亦同传，然余尚有法。如人病中暑之症，发渴引饮，其势亦甚急。若欲缓兵分治，则暑邪
不易分散，当用一二味解暑之品，以直逐其邪，则心君庶可以安宁。法当用人参一两，青蒿二两，香薷三
钱，白术五钱，水煎服。（〔批〕清暑神丹。）此方之妙，妙在人参以固元气，而后青蒿得以散其邪。虽
青蒿一味，亦能解暑，似不必人参之助。然解暑而不补气，暑虽解矣，人必弱也。惟与参同用，则祛邪之
中而有补正之道，暑散而不耗散真气，自然奏功如响。方中况有白术以健脾，香薷以追热，又用之咸宜乎。
陈士铎曰：所谓“专治”，是指专门针对某一脏腑进行治疗，如同单刀直入般直接有效。例如，有人患上了寒邪直接侵入阴经的寒证，病情发展迅速如奔马，无法遏制。如果此时像调兵遣将那样分散用药于各个部位，势必会导致药力观望徘徊，不能紧急救援主要病所，不如只使用一两味主药，斩关夺隘、直捣病所更为得当。方用人参一两，附子二钱，水煎服即可痊愈，此方名为参附汤。使用此方有着深刻的道理。因为寒邪直接侵入肾脏，君主（心）在外面临危亡，百姓（正气）逃窜，贼人（寒邪）甚至驱赶全城百姓，使其都沦为盗贼，向上侵犯皇宫（心），其锋芒不可抵挡。此时若号召邻近地区的军队支援，则缓不济急，所以不如就地统帅全军，推举大将登台，将兵马大权全部交给它，命令其奋勇当先，突围冲入，斩杀清除敌人，使城池安定、百姓安乐，前方的敌军倒戈，回师追击贼寇。方中使用附子，就像大将一样；使用人参，就像兵马一样。身体如同城郭，药物可以借以观察，生死攸关，足以作为鲜明的比喻。希望人们深思，自然能领悟这种专治的方法。
张公说：专治之法，归属于寒邪直中阴经的病症，是非常合理的。但“直中”这一门类，并非只有一个方剂就能概括所有情况。我传授一种思路，可以全面观看，从而治疗没有遗漏的方法。
华君说：我也赞同这种传承，但我还有其他的办法。例如，有人患上中暑的病症，出现口渴想喝水的症状，其势头也非常急迫。如果想要用缓慢分治的方法，那么暑邪不容易被分散，应当使用一两味解暑的药物，直接驱逐邪气，这样心神才可以安宁。方法应当用人参一两，青蒿二两，香薷三钱，白术五钱，水煎服。（批注：清暑神丹。）这个方子的妙处，妙在用人参来固护元气，然后青蒿才能发散邪气。虽然青蒿一味药也能解暑，似乎不必需要人参的帮助。但是，解暑而不补气，暑热虽然解除了，人必定会虚弱。只有与人参同用，则在祛除邪气的同时包含了补益正气的道理，暑气散去而不耗散真气，自然能像回声一样迅速见效。方中况且还有白术来健脾，香薷来追散热邪，又使用它们，都是十分适宜的。
Chen Shiduo stated: The term "specific treatment" (Zhuan Zhi) refers to treating a specific organ directly, akin to a single blade piercing straight in. For instance, when a person suffers from a cold syndrome where cold pathogenic factors directly invade the Yin meridians, the condition progresses rapidly like a galloping horse and cannot be restrained. If one were to disperse medicinal forces to various parts like mobilizing troops on different fronts, the efficacy would likely hesitate and fail to rescue the main pathology urgently. It is better to use only one or two principal herbs to break through barriers and advance directly into the disease site. The prescription uses Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) 1 liang and Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) 2 qian, decocted in water and taken orally for recovery. This formula is named Shen Fu Tang (Ginseng and Aconite Decoction). Its application possesses profound rationale. Since cold pathogens directly enter the Kidney, the Sovereign (Heart) faces external peril, the citizens (Healthy Qi) flee, and the thieves (Cold Pathogens) drive the entire population of the city to become bandits, attacking upwards towards the Imperial Pool (Heart), their momentum being irresistible. At this moment, if one summons troops from neighboring counties, it will be too slow to be effective; thus, it is preferable to command the existing army, appoint a great general, and entrust all military power to them, ordering them to fight bravely at the forefront, break out, charge in, slaughter and eliminate the enemy, thereby securing the city and bringing joy to the people, causing the vanguard to turn their weapons around and pursue the thieves. In the formula, Fu Zi acts like the great general, while Ren Shen acts like the soldiers and horses. The body is like a city wall, and medicines can be observed through this analogy; life and death are similar, making it a sufficient metaphor. May people ponder deeply and naturally comprehend this method of specific treatment.
Master Zhang said: The method of specific treatment belongs to the category of cold pathogens directly invading the Yin meridians, which is quite reasonable. However, the category of "direct invasion" is not exhausted by a single formula. I transmit a perspective that allows for comprehensive observation, ensuring no therapeutic methods are omitted in treatment.
Master Hua said: I also agree with this transmission, but I have additional methods. For example, when a person suffers from heatstroke, presenting with thirst and an urge to drink, the situation is also very urgent. If one attempts to treat slowly and dispersively, the summer-heat pathogen will not easily dissipate. One should use one or two summer-clearing herbs to directly expel the pathogen, so that the Heart Sovereign may achieve peace. The method involves using Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) 1 liang, Qing Hao (Artemisiae Annuae Herba) 2 liang, Xiang Ru (Moslae Herba) 3 qian, and Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) 5 qian, decocted in water and taken orally. (Commentary: Qing Shu Shen Dan / Divine Elixir for Clearing Summer-Heat.) The brilliance of this formula lies in using Ren Shen to consolidate the Original Qi, allowing Qing Hao to then scatter the pathogen. Although Qing Hao alone can clear summer-heat, seemingly without need for Ren Shen's assistance, clearing heat without tonifying Qi means that although the heat is cleared, the person will inevitably become weak. Only when used together with Ren Shen is there a way to tonify healthy Qi amidst expelling pathogens; the summer-heat scatters without depleting True Qi, naturally achieving results as swiftly as an echo. Furthermore, the formula contains Bai Zhu to strengthen the Spleen and Xiang Ru to chase away heat, making their use highly appropriate.
