论述说：体表有热感的，称为表热。体内有热感的，称为里热。突然发作的热证，是由于长久气机不畅、郁滞不通所致。服用温热药物过量而导致的热证，以及伴有恶寒战栗的热证，都属于心火的表现。王冰注解说：“各种疾病的产生，都源于心的变化。”所以上等智慧的人像水一样柔和，下等愚笨的人像火一样暴烈。治疗原则是：轻微的热邪，用凉性药调和；大热之邪，用寒性药清除；极热之邪，则用发汗法解除。如果发汗不能彻底治愈，就采用逆向治法（如寒因寒用等）。如果制约不住，就要探究其根本所属的脏腑来衰退病势。所以说，苦味药用于治疗五脏疾病，因为五脏属阴而位于体内；辛味药用于治疗六腑疾病，因为六腑属阳而位于体外。因此，病在体内的用泻下法，病在体表的用发汗法。另外，适宜养血滋阴，热邪自然消退，这叫做“不治而治”。所谓“不治”，是指顺应自然规律的治疗，称为常治；强行干预却无效，称为暴治。《内经》所说“用寒药治疗热证而热不退的，要取法于阴分”、“用热药治疗寒证而寒不除的，要取法于阳分”，这就是所说的“求其属”。王冰注解说：“补益火的源头，以消除阴寒之气的遮蔽；用水的主源，以制约阳光的亢盛。”说的就是这个道理。
疾病中有突然高热者，病位在心肺；有积久内热者，病位在肾肝。突发高热者，适宜使用局方中的雄黄解毒丸；积久内热者，适宜使用局方中的妙香丸。突发高热且伴有上气喘息的，病位在心肺，称为高喘，可用木香金铃子散。上焦有热且心烦者，用牛黄散。脏腑便秘者，用大黄牵牛散。上焦有热而无其他症状者，用桔梗汤。有虚热导致不能进食且发热者，是脾虚，适宜用厚朴、白术、陈皮等药物治疗。有实热导致能进食且发热者，是胃实，适宜用栀子黄芩汤或三黄丸等药物治疗，郁金、柴胡等也可使用。有病久身体消瘦憔悴、发热盗汗的，称为五脏俱损，这是热劳骨蒸病。身体瘦弱、虚烦、大便下血的，都是蒸劳的表现，适宜养血滋阴，热邪自然消退，可用当归、生地黄或钱乙的地黄丸。
木香金铃子散：治疗突发高热，心肺受热导致喘息不止。
配方：大黄（半两）、金铃子、木香（各三钱）、轻粉（少许）、朴硝（二钱）。
制法与用法：研成细末。用柳白皮煎汤调服三钱或四钱，饭后服用。以大便通畅为度，喘息停止即停药。
牛黄散：治疗上焦热盛而心烦，无法安睡。
配方：栀子（半两）、大黄（半两）、郁金（半两）、甘草（二钱半）。
制法与用法：研成细末。每次服用五钱，加水煎煮，温服，饭后服用。大便微通即可。
大黄牵牛散：治疗相火之气游走于脏腑，大便秘结。
配方：大黄（一两）、牵牛子（头末五钱）。
制法与用法：研成细末。每次服用三钱。如果有四肢厥冷，用酒调服三钱；如果没有四肢厥冷但手足烦热，用蜜汤调服，饭后服用。以大便微通为度。这种不时发作的热证，属于湿热。
地黄丸：治疗新旧病导致的身体消瘦憔悴，夜间出汗发热，五脏俱损，身体瘦弱虚烦，大便下血，骨蒸潮热，痿软无力，不能运动。
配方：熟地黄（一两）、山茱萸（四钱）、干山药（四钱）、牡丹皮、白茯苓、泽泻（各三钱）。
制法与用法：研成细末，炼蜜为丸，如梧桐子大小。每次服用五十丸，空腹时用温酒送下。如果出现烦渴、皮肤干枯无光泽，饭后煎服防风饮子；空腹时服地黄丸。
防风当归饮子：
配方：柴胡、人参、黄芩、甘草（各一两）、大黄、当归、芍药（各半两）、滑石（三两）。
制法与用法：捣成粗末。每次服用五钱，加水一盏半，生姜三片，同煎至七分，去渣温服。如果有痰实咳嗽，加半夏。如果大便黄色，完谷不化，惊惧，尿血，淋闭，咳血，鼻衄，自汗，头痛，积热，肺痿，后续服用大金花丸。
大金花丸：
配方：黄连、黄柏、黄芩、山栀子（各一两）。
制法与用法：研成细末，滴水为丸，如小豆大小。每次服用一百丸，温水送下，每日二三次。如果大便干燥，加大黄。如果腹泻，不用大黄。如果内外都有热，将此药做成散剂服用，名为解毒汤。如果腹部胀满呕吐，想要腹泻，每服半两解毒汤中加半夏、茯苓、厚朴各三钱，生姜三片。如果是白色脓液的下痢且伴有后重感，加大黄三钱。
凉膈散：加减法附在后面。
配方：连翘、山栀子、大黄、薄荷叶、黄芩（各半两）、甘草（一两半）、朴硝（二钱半）。
制法与用法：上述药材捣成粗末。每次服用半两，加水一盏半，煎至一盏，去渣加入蜂蜜一匙，微煎温服，饭后服用。
加减：咽喉不利，肿痛并伴有涎嗽的，加桔梗一两，荆芥穗半两。咳嗽且呕吐的，加半夏二钱半，生姜一钱。
如果鼻衄、呕血的，加当归、芍药、生地黄各半两，一料药内一起服用。如果有淋闭的，加滑石四两，茯苓一两。
或者小便闭塞不通，脐下感觉像倒扣的碗，疼痛闷乱不可忍受，这是肠胃干涸，膻中气机不下行所致。《内经》说：“膀胱，是州都之官，津液藏在那里，气化功能正常才能排出尿液。”所以膻中，是臣使之官的名称。三焦的相火，下行合于右肾，称为气海。王冰注解说：“膀胱位置处于孤府，所以称为都官。居于下部内部中空，所以贮藏津液。如果得到气海之气的施化，则小便排泄通畅。气海之气不足，则隐涩不通，所以不能便利。”先用沉香、木香各三钱，酒调服。或者用八正散。严重时宜用涌吐法，使气机通达，小便自然通畅。《内经》说：“病在下，取之上。”王冰注解说：“热邪攻冲于上，不利于下焦。气盛于上，则用温辛药发散它，用苦味药利导它是可以的。”
当归承气汤：
配方：当归、大黄（各一两）、甘草（半两）、芒硝（九钱）。
制法与用法：将药材切碎如麻豆大小。每次服用二两，加水一大碗，放入生姜五片，大枣十枚，同煎至半碗，去渣热服。如果阳气狂越，奔走骂詈，不避亲疏，这是阳有余阴不足。大黄、芒硝去除胃中实热，当归补血滋阴，甘草缓和药性，加生姜、大枣，因为胃属土，这是引导药力进入胃中。《内经》说：“病轻者逆其病势治疗，病重者顺其病势治疗。”说的就是这个道理。以大便大利为度。如果病情稍缓，用瓜蒂散加防风、藜芦，催吐，病邪自愈。之后用洗心散、凉膈散、解毒汤等药物调理。
牛黄膏：治疗热入血室，发狂不认识人的病症。
配方：牛黄（二钱半）、朱砂、郁金、牡丹皮（各三钱）、脑子（即冰片）、甘草（各一钱）。
制法与用法：研成细末，炼蜜为丸，如皂荚子大小。用新汲水化开服用。
治疗突发高热者：局方中的解毒雄黄丸。
配方：雄黄（碎飞）、郁金（各一分）、巴豆（去皮出油十四个）。
治疗久热者：局方中的妙香丸。
配方：辰砂（飞研九两）、牛黄、龙脑、腻粉（研）、麝香（研，各三两）、金箔（九十片，研）、巴豆（三百一十粒，去心腹炒研细）。
治疗虚热不能进食者：是脾虚，适宜用厚朴、白术、陈皮等药物治疗。
治疗实热能进食者：是胃实，适宜用栀子黄芩汤或三黄丸等药物治疗，郁金、柴胡也可以使用。
皮肤如火烧般热，用手触摸却不怎么热，这是肺热。眼睛白睛发红，烦躁或想喝水，只用黄芩一味药主治，水煎服。
两胁肋发热，或全身发热，或日晡时分（下午3-5点）肌肉发热的，都是血热，用四顺饮子主治。
夜间发热，主行于阴分，是血热。选用四顺饮子或桃仁承气汤。应当观察是否有腹痛、血刺痛，以及与表证入里、腹部转动排气、燥结的不同情况。
白天神志清楚，晚上胡言乱语，是四顺饮子的证候，与桃仁承气汤证相似，不可不辨别。发热虽然没有胁肋热，也是柴胡证的范畴。白天阳气运行二十五度，主要涉及气；夜晚阴气运行二十五度，主要涉及血。大体而言，柴胡主治气分病，四顺饮子主治血分病。
It is stated: When heat is present on the exterior, it is called Exterior Heat (Biao Re). When heat is present in the interior without exterior symptoms, it is called Interior Heat (Li Re). Sudden onset of heat is caused by long-standing stagnation and lack of free flow. Heat resulting from excessive dosage of warm medicines, as well as heat accompanied by aversion to cold and shivering, belongs to the manifestation of Heart Fire (Xin Huo). Wang Bing's commentary states: "The rise of myriad diseases all originates from the Heart." Therefore, the superior wisdom resembles water, while the inferior foolishness resembles fire. The treatment principles are: For mild heat, use cool properties to harmonize; for severe heat, use cold properties to eliminate; for extreme heat, induce sweating to release it. If sweating does not fully resolve it, employ reverse treatment (treating heat with cold when heat manifests as cold, etc.). If suppression fails, seek its root affiliation to diminish the pathogenic factor. Thus, bitter substances treat the Zang organs, as the Zang organs belong to Yin and reside within; pungent substances treat the Fu organs, as the Fu organs belong to Yang and reside externally. Therefore, internal conditions are treated with purgation, and external conditions with diaphoresis. Additionally, nourishing blood and benefiting Yin allows the heat to subside spontaneously, which is termed "treating without treating" (Zhi Bu Zhi). This so-called "non-treatment" refers to following natural laws, known as standard treatment (Chang Zhi); forced intervention that fails is termed violent treatment (Bao Zhi). As the Classics state: "For heat treated with cold remedies but remaining unrelieved, take from the Yin"; "For cold treated with hot remedies but remaining unremoved, take from the Yang." This is what is meant by "seeking its affiliation." Wang Bing's commentary says: "Enrich the source of Fire to dissipate the shadows of Yin; utilize the master of Water to control the brilliance of Yang." This refers to this principle.
Diseases presenting with sudden high fever involve the Heart and Lung. Diseases with accumulated internal heat involve the Kidney and Liver. For sudden high fever, the Xionghuang Jiedu Wan (Realgar Detoxification Pill) from the Ju Fang (Official Formulary) is suitable. For accumulated heat, the Miaoxiang Wan (Wonderful Fragrance Pill) from the Ju Fang is suitable. Sudden high fever with upper body panting involves the Heart and Lung, termed High Panting (Gao Chuan), treatable with Muxiang Jinlingzi San (Costus and Golden Bell Fruit Powder). Upper Jiao heat with vexation is treated with Niuhuang San (Calculus Bovis Powder). Constipation of the Fu organs is treated with Dahuang Qianniu San (Rhubarb and Morning Glory Seed Powder). Upper Jiao heat without other symptoms is treated with Jiegeng Tang (Platycodon Decoction). Deficiency heat causing inability to eat and fever indicates Spleen Deficiency (Pi Xu), treatable with Houpo, Baizhu, Chenpi, etc. Excess heat allowing eating and fever indicates Stomach Excess (Wei Shi), treatable with Zhizi Huangqin Tang or Sanhuang Wan (Three Yellows Pill); Yujin and Chaihu may also be used. Chronic illness leading to emaciation, fever, and night sweats indicates damage to all five Zang organs, known as Heat Consumption Bone Steaming Disease (Re Lao Gu Zheng). Emaciation, deficiency vexation, and hematochezia are manifestations of steaming consumption. Nourishing blood and benefiting Yin allows heat to recede spontaneously; Danggui and Shengdihuang, or Qian Shi Dihuang Wan (Qian's Rehmannia Pill), are suitable.
Muxiang Jinlingzi San: Treats sudden heat and incessant panting due to heat in the Heart and Lung.
Ingredients: Dahuang (Ban Liang), Jinlingzi, Muxiang (each San Qian), Qingfen (a little), Puxiao (Er Qian).
Preparation and Administration: Grind into fine powder. Mix with decoction of Willow White Bark, take San or Si Qian after meals. Stop when bowel movement occurs; stop medication when panting ceases.
Niuhuang San: Treats upper Jiao heat with vexation and insomnia.
Ingredients: Zhizi (Ban Liang), Dahuang (Ban Liang), Yujin (Ban Liang), Gancao (Er Qian Ban).
Preparation and Administration: Grind into fine powder. Take Wu Qian each time, decoct in water, take warm after meals. Mild diarrhea indicates efficacy.
Dahuang Qianniu San: Treats Ministerial Fire wandering through the Fu organs and constipation.
Ingredients: Dahuang (Yi Liang), Qianniu (Tou Mo Wu Qian).
Preparation and Administration: Grind into fine powder. Take San Qian each time. If limbs are cold, mix with wine. If no limb coldness but hands/feet are hot, mix with honey water, take after meals. Mild diarrhea is the limit. This intermittent heat is damp-heat.
Dihuang Wan: Treats chronic or acute emaciation, night sweats with fever, damage to all five Zang organs, weakness, vexation, hematochezia, bone-steaming fever, flaccidity, and immobility.
Ingredients: Shudihuang (Yi Liang), Shanzhuyu (Si Qian), Gansanyao (Si Qian), Mudanpi, Bai Fuling, Zexie (each San Qian).
Preparation and Administration: Grind into fine powder, make pills with refined honey, size of Sophora seeds. Take fifty pills each time, swallow with warm wine on an empty stomach. If vexation/thirst and dry skin occur, take Fangfeng Yinzi after meals; take Dihuang Wan on an empty stomach.
Fangfeng Danggui Yinzi:
Ingredients: Chaihu, Renshen, Huangqin, Gancao (each Yi Liang), Dahuang, Danggui, Shaoyao (each Ban Liang), Huashi (San Liang).
Preparation and Administration: Coarsely crush. Take Wu Qian each time, add one and a half cups of water, three slices of fresh ginger, decoct to seven parts, strain, take warm. Add Banxia for phlegm-stasis cough. If stool is yellow with undigested food, fearfulness, hematuria, stranguria, hemoptysis, epistaxis, spontaneous sweating, headache, accumulated heat, or lung abscess, subsequently take Dajinhua Wan.
Dajinhua Wan:
Ingredients: Huanglian, Huangbai, Huangqin, Shanzhizi (each Yi Liang).
Preparation and Administration: Grind into fine powder, make pills with drops of water, size of soybeans. Take one hundred pills each time with warm water, two to three times daily. If stool is hard, add Dahuang. If diarrhea, do not use Dahuang. If heat exists inside and out, take as powder named Jiedu Tang. If abdominal fullness/vomiting suggests impending diarrhea, add Banxia, Fuling, Houpo (each San Qian) and three slices of ginger to Ban Liang of Jiedu Tang. For dysentery with white pus and tenesmus, add Dahuang (San Qian).
Liangge San: Modifications follow.
Ingredients: Lianqiao, Shanzhizi, Dahuang, Bohe Ye, Huangqin (each Ban Liang), Gancao (Yi Liang Ban), Puxiao (Er Qian Ban).
Preparation and Administration: Coarsely crush. Take Ban Liang each time, add one and a half cups of water, decoct to one cup, strain, add one spoon of honey, simmer slightly, take warm after meals.
Modifications: For throat obstruction, swelling/pain with salivary cough, add Jiegeng (Yi Liang), Jingjie Sui (Ban Liang). For cough with vomiting, add Banxia (Er Qian Ban), Shengjiang (Yi Qian).
For epistaxis or hematemesis, add Danggui, Shaoyao, Shengdihuang (each Ban Liang), consume within one dose. For stranguria, add Huashi (Si Liang), Fuling (Yi Liang).
If urinary retention with umbical sensation like an inverted bowl and unbearable pain/distress, this is intestinal dryness and failure of Danzhong Qi to descend. The Classics state: "The Bladder is the Officer of the Prefecture, storing fluids; only through Qi transformation can they exit." Thus, Danzhong is the name of the Envoy Official. The Sanjiao Ministerial Fire descends to merge with the Right Kidney, forming the Sea of Qi. Wang Bing notes: "The Bladder resides in the solitary Fu, hence 'Prefecture Officer.' Located lower, hollow inside, it stores fluids. With Qi Sea transformation, urination flows freely. Insufficient Qi Sea Qi leads to obstruction." Initially take Chenxiang and Muxiang (each San Qian) mixed with wine, or Bazheng San. In severe cases, induce vomiting to unblock Qi, allowing urination to resume naturally. The Classics state: "Disease below, treat above." Wang Bing notes: "Heat attacking above hinders below. Qi excess above requires warm/pungent dispersal and bitter draining."
Danggui Chengqi Tang:
Ingredients: Danggui, Dahuang (each Yi Liang), Gancao (Ban Liang), Mangxiao (Jiu Qian).
Preparation and Administration: Cut into hemp/mustard seed sizes. Take Liang each time, add one large bowl of water, five slices of ginger, ten dates, decoct to half bowl, strain, take hot. For manic running/cursing ignoring kinship, indicating Yang excess/Yin deficiency: Dahuang/Mangxiao clear Stomach excess heat; Danggui nourishes blood/Yin; Gancao moderates; Ginger/Dates guide to Stomach (Earth). The Classics state: "Minor cases oppose the disease; major cases follow the disease." This is the meaning. Aim for profuse diarrhea. If milder, use Gaidi San with Fangfeng/Lilv to induce vomiting. Subsequently regulate with Xixin San, Liangge San, Jiedu Tang, etc.
Niuhuang Gao: Treats heat entering the Blood Chamber, mania, and loss of recognition.
Ingredients: Niuhuang (Er Qian Ban), Zhusha, Yujin, Mudanpi (each San Qian), Naozhi, Gancao (each Yi Qian).
Preparation and Administration: Grind into fine powder, make pills with refined honey, size of soap pods. Dissolve in new spring water and take.
For sudden heat: Jiefang Xionghuang Wan from Ju Fang.
Ingredients: Xionghuang (crushed/flying), Yujin (each Yi Fen), Badou (peeled/oil removed, fourteen kernels).
For chronic heat: Miaoxiang Wan from Ju Fang.
Ingredients: Chensha (flying/grinded nine Liang), Niuhuang, Longnao, Nifen (ground), Shexiang (ground, each San Liang), Jinbo (ninety leaves, ground), Badou (three hundred ten kernels, heart/belly removed, stir-fried, ground fine).
For deficiency consumption bone-steaming, vexation, and lower bleeding: Qian Shi Dihuang Wan.
For deficiency heat with inability to eat: Spleen Deficiency, treat with Houpo, Baizhu, Chenpi, etc.
For excess heat with ability to eat: Stomach Excess, treat with Zhizi Huangqin Tang or Sanhuang Wan; Yujin and Chaihu are also applicable.
For exterior heat with aversion to cold and thirst: Baihu Tang.
Skin feels like burning fire but is not hot to touch: Lung Heat. Red sclera, vexation, or desire to drink: Treat solely with Huangqin, decocted in water.
Heat in both hypochondriac muscles with floating/wiry pulse: Chaihu Yinzi.
Heat in both hypochondriac ribs, whole body heat, or afternoon muscle heat: All indicate Blood Heat. Treat with Sishun Yinzi.
Night fever indicates Yin/Blood heat. Select Sishun Yinzi or Taoren Chengqi Tang. Observe for abdominal pain, stabbing blood pain, differentiation from exterior-to-interior transition, abdominal gas movement, and dryness/constipation.
Clear during day, delirious at night: Sishun Yinzi pattern, similar to Taoren Chengqi Tang, must be distinguished. Fever without hypochondriac heat is still a Chaihu pattern. Daytime Yang circulation (25 cycles) relates to Qi; Nighttime Yin circulation (25 cycles) relates to Blood. Generally, Chaihu treats Qi patterns; Sishun Yinzi treats Blood patterns.
