者，又有上焦之邪，隔绝荣卫，不能升降出表而恶寒者。东垣云∶夜则恶寒，昼则安静，是
阴血自旺于阴分也。夜则恶寒，昼亦恶寒，是重阴无阳也。当亟泻其阴，峻补其阳。夜则安
静，昼则恶寒，是阴气上溢于阳中也。
一妇人多怒，手背患疮出血，至夜发热妄语。服清心凉血药，不应，乃热入血室而然也
。遂
东垣曰∶昼则发热，夜则安静，是阳气自旺于阳分也。昼则安静，夜则发热烦躁，是阳气下
陷入阴中也，名曰热入血室。昼则发热烦躁，夜则发热烦躁，是阳无阴也。当亟泻其阳，峻
补其阴。王注云∶病热而脉数，按之不鼓动，乃寒盛格阳而致之，非热也。形证是寒，按之
而脉气鼓击于手下盛者，此为热盛，拒阴而生病，非寒也。又曰∶推而内之，外而不内，身
有热也。《伤寒论》曰∶寸口脉微，为阳不足。阴气上入阳中，则洒淅恶寒，尺脉弱，为阴
不足。阳气下陷入阴中，则发热也。以手扪摸有三法，以轻手扪之则热，重按之则不热，是
热在皮毛血脉也。重按之至筋骨之分，则热蒸手极甚，轻手则不热，是邪在筋骨之间也。轻
手扪之则热，重力以按之不热，不轻不重按之而热，是在筋骨之上，皮毛血脉之下，乃热在
肌肉也。 肺热者，轻手乃得，微按全无，日晡热甚，乃皮毛之热，其证必见喘咳。寒热轻
者泻白散，重者凉膈散、地骨皮散。 心热者，微按至皮肤之下，肌肉之上，轻手乃得。微
按至皮毛之下则热，少加力按之则不热，是热在血脉也。其证烦心，心痛，掌中热而哕。以
黄连泻心汤、导赤散、朱砂安神丸。脾热者，轻手摸之不热，重按至筋骨又不热，不轻不重
，在轻手重手之间，热在肌肉，遇夜尤甚。其证必怠惰嗜卧，四肢不收，无气以动。泻黄散

难转筋，多怒多惊，四肢困热，筋痿不能起于床。泻青丸、柴胡饮子。 肾热者，轻手重手
俱不热。重手按至骨分，其热蒸手如火。其人骨苏苏如虫蚀，其骨困热不任，亦不能起于床

有一个妇人容易发怒，手背患疮出血，到夜晚发热说胡话。服用清心凉血药，无效，这是热入血室所致。于是……（原文此处可能有缺字，依语境推测为用相应方剂）。李东垣说：白天发热，晚上安静，是阳气在阳分旺盛所致。白天安静，晚上发热烦躁，是阳气下陷入阴中，名叫热入血室。白天发热烦躁，晚上也发热烦躁，是阳无阴。应当紧急泻其阳，峻补其阴。王冰注解说：病热而脉数，重按而不鼓动，是寒盛格阳所致，并非真热。形证表现为寒，重按时脉气在手下鼓击盛大，这是热盛拒阴而生病，并非寒证。又说：推而内之，外而不内，身体有热。《伤寒论》说：寸口脉微，为阳气不足。阴气上入阳中，则洒淅恶寒；尺脉弱，为阴气不足。阳气下陷入阴中，则发热。用手触摸有三法：以轻手抚摸则热，重按则不热，是热在皮毛血脉。重按至筋骨之分，则热气蒸腾手掌非常厉害，轻手摸则不热，是邪在筋骨之间。轻手摸则热，重力按压不热，不轻不重按而热，是在筋骨之上，皮毛血脉之下，即热在肌肉。肺热者，轻手可得，微按全无，傍晚热甚，是皮毛之热，其证必定见喘咳。轻者用泻白散，重者用凉膈散、地骨皮散。心热者，微按至皮肤之下，肌肉之上，轻手可得。微按至皮毛之下则热，稍加力按则不热，是热在血脉。其证烦心，心痛，掌中热而哕逆。用黄连泻心汤、导赤散、朱砂安神丸。脾热者，轻手摸之不热，重按至筋骨又不热，不轻不重，在轻手重手之间，热在肌肉，遇夜尤其严重。其证必定怠惰嗜卧，四肢不收，无气以动。用泻黄散。肝热者，重按之，肌肉之下，至骨之上，乃肝之热。寅卯间（凌晨3-7点）尤其严重。其脉弦，四肢满闷，大便难转筋，多怒多惊，四肢困热，筋痿不能起床。用泻青丸、柴胡饮子。肾热者，轻手重手俱不热。重手按至骨分，其热蒸手如火。其人骨苏苏如虫蚀，其骨困热不堪，也不能起床。用滋肾丸主治。按徐用诚说：手太阴、少阴，足太阴、厥阴、少阴的本病，为皮毛、肌肉、骨分之热。然而面中热，手厥阴、少阴、太阴。足下热而痛，属足少阴。足外热，属足少阳。身热肤痛，属手少阴。身前热，属足阳明。洒淅寒热，属手太阳。肩上热，肩似拔，属手太阳。中热而喘，属足少阴。肩背热，及足小趾外侧，胫踝后，皆属足太阳。一身尽热，狂而妄闻妄见妄言，属足阳明。热而筋纵缓不收，阴痿，属足阳明、厥阴、手少阴。与前文热在气血之分，皆是诸经现证。脏腑阴阳，是动所生之本病也。

Pulse floating or weak with fever, or accompanied by aversion to cold, indicates deficiency of Yang Qi (deficiency of the body's warming and defensive energy); tonifying Qi is appropriate. Pulse choppy with fever indicates blood deficiency; nourishing Blood is appropriate. Fever occurring in the forenoon (morning) suggests pathogenic factors are internal; purgation should be employed. Severe pain also indicates internal pathogenic factors; purgation should be employed.
A male patient experienced fever and pain after an ulcer erupted. His pulse was floating and rapid, but empty upon deep pressure, and symptoms worsened with exertion. He was treated with Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction), which stopped the fever; subsequently, Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Complete Tonification Decoction) was used with increased dosage of Blood-nourishing herbs.
A male patient had fever, headache, and a floating-tight pulse after an ulcer erupted, indicating deficiency combined with exterior pathogenic factors. He was treated with Buzhong Yiqi Tang plus Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong) and Baizhi Rhizoma (Baizhi). After two doses, the fever ceased, and he recovered with interior-supporting herbs.
A female patient had fever, insomnia, and limb fatigue after an ulcer erupted. She was stabilized with Renshen Baidu San (Ginseng Resisting Toxin Powder) and then treated with Shiquan Dabu Tang plus Fritillariae Bulbus (Beimu), Polygalae Radix (Yuanzhi), Ophiopogonis Tuber (Maidong), Ziziphi Spinosomi Semen (Suanzaoren), and Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu). The wound healed after more than a month.
A female patient had fever after an ulcer erupted, and her condition worsened after taking heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs. Her pulse was choppy. She was treated with Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) plus Papaveris Pericarpium (Husupi), Commiphora Myrrha Resin (Ruxiang), and Boswellia Carterii Resin (Moyao). Symptoms subsided slightly after two doses and resolved after another two doses.
A male patient had fever and mild headache after an ulcer erupted, worsening at dusk (day-bu). His pulse was floating and choppy upon deep pressure. He was cured with Renshen Yangrong Tang (Ginseng Nourishing Harmony Decoction) plus Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu) and Dictamni Cortex (Digupi), and the wound healed after more than a month.
A male patient felt aversion to cold after an ulcer erupted. He was treated with Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) plus Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guizhi), with doubled dosages of Astragali Radix (Huangqi) and other major ingredients. Aversion to cold ceased after four doses. There was still much pus and fluid, so Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction) plus Guizhi was administered. After several doses, the discharge gradually decreased. Since the wound did not close, Fuzi Bing (Aconite Cake) was applied externally, and internally, Shiquan Dabu Tang was given with Pao Fuzi (Prepared Aconiti Lateralis Radix, 5 fen per dose). After several doses, Fuzi was removed, and treatment continued for over a month until recovery.
A male patient, near recovery from an ulcer, developed fever in the limbs, irritability, and insomnia due to overexertion. He was calmed with Shengyu Tang (Holy Salvation Decoction) for four doses and recovered with interior-supporting herbs.
Danxi stated: "Fever in the limbs that feels like burning when exposed to wind and cold indicates Yin Qi deficiency and Yang Qi excess."
A male patient felt aversion to cold and had a deficient pulse after an ulcer erupted. He was cured with Sijunzi Tang plus Pao Jiang (Prepared Zingiberis Rhizoma) in four doses. He healed with Shiquan Dabu Tang after more than a month. Zhang Zhongjing said: "Deficient pulse indicates blood deficiency; blood deficiency generates cold, which is insufficient Yang Qi." For swelling with a deficient pulse, interior support and harmonizing/nourishing Blood are appropriate. This is true!
A female patient had fever, worsening at dusk, due to Qi and Blood deficiency. She was cured with Siwu Tang plus Chaihu and Digupi.
A female patient had fever after an ulcer erupted. After taking cooling herbs, she became more averse to cold. She was cured with Shiquan Dabu Tang in two doses, followed by interior-supporting herbs.
A male patient had fever after an ulcer erupted, worsening with cooling herbs. His pulse was floating, indicating Qi deficiency. He was treated with Buzhong Yiqi Tang plus Schisandrae Fructus (Wuweizi) and Maidong. The fever ceased, and the wound healed with interior-supporting herbs.
A female patient had fever after an ulcer erupted, with a floating and rapid pulse, indicating deficiency combined with exterior syndrome. She was treated with Buzhong Yiqi Tang with doubled Chaihu and Shengma. The fever ceased after one dose, and the wound healed with interior-supporting herbs after more than a month.
A male patient with an abscess drank alcohol after eruption, leading to pain and fever. The fever ceased after two doses of Huanglian Jiedu Tang (Coptis Decoction for Resolving Toxicity), and he recovered with Tuoli Xiaodu San (Interior-Supporting and Toxin-Expelling Powder).
For abscesses with constipation and a solid pulse, Qingliang Yin (Cooling Drink) is typically used.
A male patient had mature pus but no rupture, with mild pain, poor appetite, fatigue, and fever. I punctured it, causing pus to gush out and fever to intensify, indicating deficiency. Urgent administration of large doses of Renshen (Ginseng) and Huangqi (Astragalus) stopped the fever. This is irritability due to Blood deficiency, treated primarily with Danggui Buxue Tang (Angelica Tonifying Blood Decoction). Another type is heat due to Fire stagnation: if one cannot eat but has fever, spontaneous sweating, and shortness of breath, it is deficiency. Use sweet-cold herbs to clear heat and tonify Qi. If one can eat but has fever, dry mouth/tongue, and difficult defecation, use bitter-warm and great-cold herbs to purge, clearing fire and nourishing water.
A male patient with a fistula suddenly felt aversion to cold during cold weather, with a faint pulse on the right hand, indicating Stomach Qi deficiency unable to withstand wind-cold. He was treated with Sijunzi Tang plus... [text missing] ... There are also cases where Upper Jiao pathogens block Ying and Wei, preventing ascending/descending and exiting the exterior, causing aversion to cold. Dongyuan said: "Aversion to cold at night and quietness during the day indicates abundant Yin Blood in the Yin aspect. Aversion to cold both day and night indicates heavy Yin without Yang; urgently purge Yin and vigorously tonify Yang. Quietness at night and aversion to cold during the day indicates Yin Qi overflowing into Yang."
A female patient prone to anger suffered bleeding from a sore on the back of her hand, followed by nighttime fever and delirium. Heart-clearing and Blood-cooling herbs were ineffective; this was Heat entering the Blood Chamber. Thus... [text missing]. Dongyuan said: "Fever during the day and quietness at night indicates abundant Yang Qi in the Yang aspect. Quietness during the day and fever/irritability at night indicates Yang Qi sinking into Yin, named 'Heat entering the Blood Chamber.' Fever and irritability both day and night indicate Yang without Yin; urgently purge Yang and vigorously tonify Yin." Wang Bing noted: "Fever with a rapid pulse that does not throb upon deep pressure indicates Cold excess repelling Yang, not true heat. Signs of Cold with a strong, throbbing pulse upon deep pressure indicate Heat excess rejecting Yin, not Cold." Also: "Pushing inward, external but not internal, indicates body heat." Shanghan Lun states: "Micro pulse at Cun indicates insufficient Yang. Yin Qi entering Yang causes shivering aversion to cold. Weak pulse at Chi indicates insufficient Yin. Yang Qi sinking into Yin causes fever." Palpation methods: Light touch reveals heat in skin/vessels; deep pressure to bones reveals intense heat in bone/muscle; light touch cool, deep pressure cool, medium pressure hot indicates heat in muscle. Lung Heat: Light touch detects heat, none on slight pressure, worse at dusk, indicates skin/lung heat with cough/asthma. Mild cases: Xiebai San; severe: Liangge San, Digupi San. Heart Heat: Slight pressure below skin above muscle, light touch detects heat, slight pressure removes heat, indicates vessel heat with vexation, heart pain, palm heat, hiccups. Treat with Huanglian Xiexin Tang, Daochi San, Zhusha Anshen Wan. Spleen Heat: No heat on light touch, no heat on deep pressure to bone, heat between light/deep pressure in muscle, worse at night, with lethargy, limb heaviness, lack of Qi. Treat with Xiehuang San. Liver Heat: Deep pressure below muscle to bone indicates Liver Heat, worse at Yin/Mao hours (3-7 AM), wiry pulse, limb fullness, difficult bowel movements, spasms, anger,惊悸, limb heat, tendon weakness. Treat with Xieqing Wan, Chaihu Yinzi. Kidney Heat: No heat on light/deep touch; deep pressure to bone reveals intense heat like fire, bone tingling as if eaten by insects, unbearable bone heat, inability to rise. Treat with Zishen Wan. Xu Yongcheng noted: Hand Taiyin/Shaoyin, Foot Taiyin/Jueyin/Shaoyin primary diseases correspond to skin/muscle/bone heat. Face center heat: Hand Jueyin/Shaoyin/Taiyin. Sole heat/pain: Foot Shaoyin.
