马云:最后有因感受邪气而导致的“气厥”病证。那么凡是寒热相互转移的病症,都是气机逆乱所致,因此以此命名篇章。吴崑:肾将寒邪移传于肝(注:历代医家根据《新校正》的意见,将原文中的“肝”字改为“脾”,此处遵从该说法)。
出现痈肿、少气的症状。吴崑说:寒毒移居于骨肉之间,壅塞营卫之气。有时先肿后痛,有时先痛后肿,都称为痈肿。“少气”是因为肾依靠阴气进行吸纳功能。如今肾的阴气发生移传,并合并于脾,那么肾的阴气就微弱了,没有力量进行吸纳,所以表现为少气。张景岳说:肾中的寒气移传于脾,就会形成痈肿。大凡痈毒类的疾病,无论是寒邪还是热邪都能导致它。热邪属于阳毒,寒邪属于阴毒。因为脾主肌肉,受到寒邪则气机凝聚而坚硬,坚硬而不消散,就会形成肿胀和痈疽。另一种说法是:“痈”就是“壅”。肾以寒水之气,反向传变克制其所胜之脏,侵侮脾土,所以壅滞成为浮肿。这种解释更为通达。“少气”是因为寒盛导致下焦阳气虚衰,阳气虚衰就无法化生元气。简按:张景岳注释的后一种说法,义理清晰明了。“悬壅”应作“悬痈”(见《甲乙经》)以及孟子提到的“痈疽”(韩非子中写作“雍”)之类,古文中假借通用的情况很多。马莳和高世栻都沿袭王冰的注释,将其解释为痈疽的含义,这是不可取的。
“隔中”:《灵枢·邪气脏腑病形篇》说:隔中症,饮食入口后又吐出来,随后吐出涎沫。
“肺消”:张景岳说:心火不足,就不能温养肺金。肺气不温暖,就不能行化和输布津液。所以虽然饮水一杯,但小便却有两杯之多。肺是水液代谢的根本,水液流失过多,肺气随之枯竭。所以称为肺消。门户失守,本元日益衰竭,所以死亡且无法治疗。王冰的注释如上所说。我认为如果是火热内灼的情况,又怎么会出现饮一溲二的现象?这个注释似乎不太妥当。简按:此方出自《圣济总录》第五十八卷。
“涌水”:张景岳说:“涌”同“涌”。涌水症,是水气自下而上涌出,像泉水喷涌一样。水属阴气,其根本在肾,末梢在肺。肺将寒邪移传于肾,则下焦阳气不能气化。阳气不能气化,则水泛溢成为邪气,客居于大肠,因为大肠与肺相表里。汪昂说:痈肿、狂证、膈中、肺消等病症,多属于火热,但经文都说“移寒”。如果按照热证来解释,那么下文又有“移热”的一段内容。各家注释随证解释,有的说热,有的说寒,言辞虽不一致,但义理难以更改。我私下认为,“移寒”的“寒”字,应当理解为受病的初始状态。像隔塞不通,多属于热结;如果说膈症,间或有寒性膈症;痈肿间或有寒性疮疡;而属于热的,大多与狂癫、肺消一样,都应解释为寒久化热,这样义理才通顺。至于下文提到的肾移热导致的涌水,则始终都属于阴寒性质。简按:汪昂大概没有看到张景岳的注释,所以有这样的说法,恐怕未免有些牵强附会。涌水的方剂,记载于《圣济总录》第七十九卷。
“濯濯”:《灵枢·邪气脏腑病形篇》说:大肠有病时,肠中剧烈疼痛,并且发出濯濯的水鸣声。
“膈消”:马云说:有一种说法认为,膈证和肺消应当分为两种病。张景岳说:膈消表现为上焦烦热,饮水多且容易消耗。上文说的肺消是由于寒邪引起,这里说的膈消是由于热邪引起。由此可见,消渴病有阴阳两种证型,不可不加以辨别。李东垣在《兰室秘藏》中说:上消症,舌面红赤开裂,极度口渴引饮。经文说:心将热邪移传于肺,传变为膈消,正是这种情况。简按:李东垣认为是上消渴,这是正确的。膈消的方剂,记载于《圣济总录》第四十九卷。
“柔痉”:简按:“柔”代表阴的含义。《伤寒论》中说:太阳病,发热无汗,反而恶寒的,名叫刚痉;太阳病,发热汗出,不恶寒的,名叫柔痉。成无己注释说:“痉”字乃是“痉”的误写(注:此处原文可能有误,通常指痉病之柔痉,成无己注意指痉字本义劲急,或指筋脉拘急)。盖因肺属太阴,肾属少阴,肺将热邪移传于肾而引发痉病,所以称为柔痉。《活人书》也说:柔痉,又称阴痉。马莳和张景岳依据王冰的注释说:柔是指筋脉松弛无力。《说文解字》说:痉,是强劲紧急的意思。筋脉松弛无力,怎么能称为痉呢?这在道理上太违背常理了。吴崑说:柔是多汗,这也是错误的。
“肠澼死”:张景岳说:肾将热邪移传于脾,这是阴火上炎。邪热在下,真阴必然亏损,所以传变为虚损。肾本是水脏,却挟带热邪欺侮脾土,所以称为肠澼。下利脓血,阴虚反克,导致水土俱败,所以死亡。
“胞移热于膀胱”:楼全善说:胞,指的是女子的胞宫。吴崑说:胞,是阴胞。在男性则是精室,在女性则是血室。张景岳赞同此说。简按:精室的说法无所考证,应当遵从楼全善的说法。王履在《溯洄集》中说:膀胱固然是津液之腑,又有胞居留在膀胱之中。程国彭在《医学心悟》中说:胞,本来是胞胎的胞,王履错误地认为是尿脬的脬,却是牵强附会,将膀胱连在一起。如果有热,何须等待移传?“移”的意思,是由其他脏器移传而来。这种说法自相矛盾。张景岳在《五味篇》的注释中也辨析了王履的错误,应当参考考证。(关于“胞”的含义,详见《五脏别论》的注释。)
“口糜”:麇,各版本多作“麋”。简按:古文中通用(《盐铁论》中的“麇鬲”,《论衡》中的“麇烂”,都与“麋”相同)。然而宋本以下版本,都写作“麋”,应当改正。马莳说:小肠之下,名为阑门,过滤分别汁液,渗入膀胱。膀胱将热邪移传于小肠,因此膈塞肠道,不能向下渗透。湿热之气,反而随着经脉上逆,导致口腔糜烂。《圣济总录》说:热气厥逆,膀胱将热邪移传于小肠,胃中的水谷,不能传输下行。所以上部导致口腔生疮并糜烂。大抵心胃壅滞热邪,必然会熏蒸于上部,不能一概使用外敷药物,应当寻求根本原因进行治疗。方剂记载于一百一十七卷。
“伏瘕”:张景岳说:小肠的热邪下行,则移传于大肠。热邪结聚不散,则气或血,留聚在曲折之处,这就是伏瘕。简按:《颜氏家训》说:宓、伏、隐,古来是通用字。方剂记载于《圣济总录》第五十卷。(关于“瘕”的含义,详见《大奇论》的注释。)
“为沉”:马云说:伏瘕,则沉陷在其中。吴崑说:这是指隐伏秘匿的瘕症,极其痛苦奔注,像火烧一样,疼痛停止时就像健康的普通人一样,危害深沉,不易求得病因。张景岳赞同此说。马莳说:沉痔也。《邪气脏腑篇》说:肾脉微涩为沉痔。说“沉”,或许是上古文字的省略,或者是简略脱漏。各家注释,都把“沉”解释为伏瘕沉滞。按经文用了两个“为”字,这表明是两种证候,不可合并为一个证候讨论。高世栻的本子中,“沉”字下有“痔”字,注释说:“痔”字简略脱漏,现在补上。火热下行,形成沉痔。简按:根据经文用两个“为”字来看,马莳和高世栻的说法似乎是正确的。汪昂说:“沉”是“疝”字的误写,这不是正确的。《儒门事亲》说:妇女月经沉滞,数月不行,肌肉不减,《内经》说:这叫做瘕,叫做沉。沉,是指月经沉滞不行。应当立即服用桃仁承气汤加当归,作为一大剂量的药服用,不超过三服即可立愈。
“善食而瘦”:《甲乙经》中,“瘦”字作“溲”,这是不对的。
“食亦”:《甲乙经》中,作“食晦”,“入”字作“又”,在“亦”字下面。简按:“亦”通“易”,即跛易、痿易、狂易中的“易”。虽然善于进食但不肥胖,与平常情况变化不同,所以叫食易。张景岳说:虽然进食但也生病而消瘦,所以称之为食亦。高世栻赞同此说。这种解释把“亦”当作助词,就不是命名疾病的含义了。《千金方》说:吃得多身体消瘦,名叫食晦。先取脾俞穴,后取季胁穴。大概“晦”是不见的意思,也就是食亦。(“晦”字的含义详见于《平人气象论》。)楼全善的《纲目》说:食亦,是指食物移易而过,不生肌肤,也容易饥饿。李东垣说:善于进食而消瘦的人,是因为胃中潜伏火邪于气分所以能食,脾虚则肌肉削薄。方剂记载于《圣济总录》第四十七卷。
“辛鼻渊”:吴崑说:脑受到热邪的影响,所以令鼻窍中辛辣,鼻液像深渊流水一样,没有止息的时候。简按:《玉篇》说:鼻茎也。《释名》说:鼻如马鞍。仰卧折断如同马鞍。《图翼》说:音遏。鼻梁也名下极,即山根。沈子禄说:俗呼为鼻根,或者写作(蹙鼻,见《史记·蔡泽传》)。高世栻说:两鼻旁辛辣,鼻两旁叫做鼻,这是不对的。《千金方》说:夫鼻洞者,浊涕不止,传变为鼽瞢瞑目。所以得之于气厥。大概鼻洞者,是鼻液洞下不止的含义,也就是鼻渊。张璐的《张氏医通》说:鼻渊和鼻鼽,应当区分寒热。如果鼻涕脓臭的是渊,属于热,用清凉的药物发散它。如果鼻涕清稀不臭的是鼽,属于虚寒,用辛温的药剂调理它。
“衄”:《甲乙经》中,“”字作“”(《广韵》说:目赤也)。注音:莫结切。简按:王冰注释的“汗血”,见于《说文解字》。吴崑说:鼻中出血,叫做衄。大量出血称为衄,微量出血称为,没有详细的依据。《圣济总录》说:在鼻称为衄,在汗孔称为。这是错误地阅读了王冰的注释,把污血当作汗水,太疏漏了。
“故得之气厥也”:简按:王冰及以后的各家,认为这是总结全篇的意义。然而涌水、癃闭溺血、伏瘕、食亦等症,恐怕不是得之于气厥,而是指辛、鼻渊、衄、瞑目而已。全本将此篇并入《厥论》,其名篇为“气厥”,是王冰改定的。知道这不是总结性的文字。
Ma Yun: Finally, there is the syndrome of "Qi Jue" (Qi Reversal) caused by contracting pathogenic factors. Therefore, all diseases involving the mutual transition of cold and heat are caused by the reversal of Qi mechanism, which is why this chapter is named accordingly. Wu Kun: The Kidney transmits cold to the Liver (Note: Various scholars, following the *Xin Zheng* [New Corrections], changed the character "Liver" in the original text to "Spleen"; here we follow that correction).
Symptoms include carbuncles and swelling, and shortness of breath. Wu Kun stated: Cold-toxin migrates into the space between bone and flesh, obstructing Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi. Sometimes swelling precedes pain, sometimes pain precedes swelling; both are termed carbuncles and swelling. "Shortness of breath" occurs because the Kidney relies on Yin Qi for its grasping function. Now, when the Kidney's Yin Qi migrates and merges with the Spleen, the Kidney's Yin Qi becomes weak and lacks the power to grasp, resulting in shortness of breath. Zhang Jingyue stated: When cold qi from the Kidney migrates to the Spleen, it forms carbuncles. Generally, carbuncle diseases can be caused by either cold or heat pathogens. Heat belongs to Yang toxin, while cold belongs to Yin toxin. Since the Spleen governs muscles, upon receiving cold, Qi aggregates and hardens; if it remains hard and does not dissipate, it forms swelling and abscesses. Another view states: "Carbuncle" (Yong) means "obstruction." The Kidney, using its cold-water Qi, reversely transmits to overcome what it normally controls, invading and insulting the Earth element of the Spleen, thus causing obstruction and edema. This interpretation is particularly coherent. Regarding "shortness of breath," severe cold leads to deficiency of Yang Qi in the lower jiao; when Yang Qi is deficient, it cannot transform into Yuan Qi. Jian An: Zhang Jingyue's latter explanation is clear and logical. "Xuan Yong" should be written as "Xuan Yong" (see *Jia Yi Jing*) and similar to Mencius' mention of "carbuncles and ulcers" (written as "Yong" in *Han Feizi*). Ancient texts frequently used phonetic loans. Ma Shi and Gao Shishi followed Wang Bing's commentary, interpreting it as carbuncles and ulcers, which is incorrect.
"Gé Zhong" (Diaphragmatic Obstruction): *Ling Shu · Xie Qi Zang Fu Bing Xing Pian* states: In Gé Zhong syndrome, food and drink enter but are regurgitated, followed by the expulsion of saliva.
"Fei Xiao" (Lung Wasting-Thirst): Zhang Jingyue stated: If Heart Fire is insufficient, it cannot warm and nourish Lung Metal. If Lung Qi is not warm, it cannot transport and transform body fluids. Thus, although one cup of water is drunk, two cups of urine are excreted. The Lung is the mother of water; excessive loss of water causes Lung Qi to wither. Hence, it is called Fei Xiao. When the gates fail to hold and the root essence depletes daily, death ensues and treatment is impossible. Wang Bing's commentary is as follows. I believe that if internal fire were scorching, how could one drink one and urinate two? This commentary seems inappropriate. Jian An: This prescription appears in *Sheng Ji Zong Lu*, Volume 58.
"Yong Shui" (Surging Water): Zhang Jingyue stated: "Yong" is synonymous with "surge." Yong Shui refers to water surging upward like a spring. Water represents Yin Qi; its root is in the Kidney, and its branch is in the Lung. When the Lung transmits cold to the Kidney, Yang Qi fails to transform in the lower jiao. Without transformation, water overflows and becomes pathogenic, lodging in the Large Intestine, as the Large Intestine is the interior-exterior partner of the Lung. Wang Ang stated: Carbuncles, mania, Gé Zhong, and Fei Xiao are mostly due to heat-fire, yet the classic text mentions "transmitting cold." If interpreted as heat, then the subsequent section on "transmitting heat" would be redundant. Commentators explain symptoms variably as hot or cold; although words differ, the meaning is hard to change. I privately suggest that the character "cold" in "transmitting cold" should denote the initial stage of disease acquisition. Conditions like obstruction often involve heat accumulation; however, some cases of diaphragm syndrome may be cold-type, and some carbuncles may be cold-type wounds. Those classified as heat, such as mania, epilepsy, and Fei Xiao, should generally be understood as cold transforming into heat after a long duration, which makes logical sense. Conversely, regarding Yong Shui caused by heat transmission from the Kidney, it remains purely Yin-cold throughout. Jian An: Wang Ang likely did not see Zhang Jingyue's commentary, leading to these remarks, which seem forced. The prescription for Yong Shui is found in *Sheng Ji Zong Lu*, Volume 79.
"Zhuo Zhuo": *Ling Shu · Xie Qi Zang Fu Bing Xing Pian* states: When the Large Intestine is diseased, there is cutting pain in the intestines accompanied by gurgling sounds (Zhuo Zhuo).
"Ge Xiao" (Diaphragm Wasting-Thirst): Ma Yun stated: One theory suggests that Diaphragm Syndrome and Fei Xiao should be treated as two distinct diseases. Zhang Jingyue stated: Ge Xiao presents with upper jiao irritability, excessive drinking, and rapid consumption. The previous text stated that Fei Xiao is caused by cold; this text states that Ge Xiao is caused by heat. This shows that Wasting-Thirst has Yin and Yang syndromes that must be distinguished. Li Dongyuan in *Lan Shi Mi Cang* stated: Upper Xiao presents with red cracks on the tongue and extreme thirst prompting drinking. The classic text says: When Heart transmits heat to the Lung, it transforms into Ge Xiao. This is correct. Jian An: Li's identification as Upper Xiao is correct. The prescription for Ge Xiao is in *Sheng Ji Zong Lu*, Volume 49.
"Rou Jing" (Soft Spasm): Jian An: "Rou" implies Yin. *Shang Han Lun* states: Taiyang disease with fever, no sweat, and aversion to cold is named Gang Jing (Hard Spasm); Taiyang disease with fever, sweating, and no aversion to cold is named Rou Jing (Soft Spasm). Cheng Wuji commented that the character "Jing" was a typo for "Spasm" (Note: Context implies discussing the nature of spasm). Since the Lung belongs to Taiyin and the Kidney to Shaoyin, when Lung transmits heat to the Kidney triggering spasms, it is called Rou Jing. *Huo Ren Shu* also calls it Yin Spasm. Ma Shi and Zhang Jingyue, following Wang Bing, stated: Rou means flaccid tendons lacking strength. *Shuo Wen* defines Jing as stiff and urgent. How can flaccid tendons be called Jing? This contradicts logic. Wu Kun stated: Rou means profuse sweating, which is also wrong.
"Chang Pi Death": Zhang Jingyue stated: When the Kidney transmits heat to the Spleen, it is Yin fire flaming upward. Pathogenic heat in the lower jiao inevitably depletes True Yin, transforming into deficiency damage. The Kidney is a Water organ but insults the Spleen with heat, hence called Chang Pi. Dysentery with pus and blood indicates Yin deficiency counter-attacking, leading to the failure of both Water and Earth elements, resulting in death.
"Bao Transmits Heat to Bladder": Lou Quanshan stated: Bao refers to the uterus in women. Wu Kun stated: Bao is the Yin Bao. In men, it is the Essence Chamber; in women, it is the Blood Chamber. Zhang Jingyue agreed. Jian An: The Essence Chamber lacks verification; Lou's view should be followed. Wang Lu in *Su Hui Ji* stated: Although the Bladder is the腑 of fluids, the Bao resides within the Bladder. Cheng Guopeng in *Yi Xue Xin Wu* stated: Bao originally referred to the womb; Wang Lu mistakenly identified it as the urinary bladder, forcing a connection. If heat exists, why wait for transmission? "Transmission" implies movement from another organ. This statement is contradictory. Zhang Jingyue also refuted Wang Lu's error in his commentary on the Five Flavors chapter. (See *Wu Zang Bie Lun* commentary for details on Bao.)
"Mouth Melt" (Kou Mi): The character Jun is written as Mi in most editions. Jian An: They were interchangeable in ancient times (*Salt and Iron Discourse*: Jun Ge; *Lun Heng*: Jun Lan, both same as Mi). However, Song editions and later use Mi, so it should be corrected. Ma Shi stated: Below the Small Intestine is the Lan Men, filtering juices into the Bladder. When the Bladder transmits heat to the Small Intestine, the intestine becomes obstructed and cannot descend. Damp-heat rises along the meridians, causing mouth erosion. *Sheng Ji Zong Lu* states: Qi reversal with heat, Bladder transmitting heat to Small Intestine, prevents stomach contents from descending. This causes oral sores and erosion above. Generally, heat congestion in Heart and Stomach steams upward; topical applications alone are insufficient. One must treat the root. Prescription in Volume 117.
"Fu Jia" (Hidden Mass): Zhang Jingyue stated: Heat from the Small Intestine descends and transmits to the Large Intestine. If heat knots and does not dissipate, Qi or Blood stagnates in tortuous areas, forming Fu Jia. Jian An: *Yan Shi Jia Xun* states: Mi, Fu, and Yin were interchangeable characters. Prescription in *Sheng Ji Zong Lu*, Volume 50. (See *Da Qi Lun* commentary for details on Jia.)
"Chen": Ma Yun stated: Fu Jia sinks within. Wu Kun stated: It refers to hidden masses causing extreme, rushing pain like burning; when pain stops, the person appears normal. The harm is deep and hard to diagnose. Zhang Jingyue agreed. Ma Shi stated: Chen Hemorrhoids. *Xie Qi Pian* states: Fine and choppy Kidney pulse indicates Chen Hemorrhoids. "Chen" might be an abbreviation or omission in ancient texts. Most commentators interpret Chen as stagnant Fu Jia. However, the text uses "Wei" (is/called) twice, indicating two separate conditions, not one. Gao Shishi's edition adds "Hemorrhoid" after "Chen," noting it was omitted and now supplemented. Heat descending causes Chen Hemorrhoids. Jian An: Based on the double "Wei," Ma and Gao seem correct. Wang Ang claimed "Chen" is a typo for "Shan" (Hernia), which is incorrect. *Ru Men Shi Qin* stated: Women with stagnant menstruation lasting months without muscle loss, *Nei Jing* calls this Jia and Chen. Chen means stagnant menstruation. Immediate treatment with Tao Ren Cheng Qi Tang plus Dang Gui, taken as a large dose, cures within three doses.
"Eats Well but Emaciates": *Jia Yi Jing* writes "Sou" (urinate) instead of "Shou" (emaciate), which is incorrect.
"Shi Yi": *Jia Yi Jing* writes "Shi Hui," changing "Ru" to "You," placed under "Yi." Jian An: "Yi" is interchangeable with "Yi" (change), as in Bo Yi, Wei Yi, Kuang Yi. Though eating well, one does not gain weight, differing from normal changes, hence Shi Yi. Zhang Jingyue stated: Eating yet becoming sick and thin is called Shi Yi. Gao Shishi agreed. Interpreting "Yi" as a particle misses the disease name meaning. *Qian Jin Fang* stated: Eating much but losing weight is called Shi Hui. Treat first with Pi Shu, then Ji Xie. "Hui" means invisible, equivalent to Shi Yi. (See *Ping Ren Qi Xiang Lun* for character meaning). Lou Quan Shan's *Gang Mu* stated: Shi Yi means food passes through quickly without nourishing flesh, and hunger comes easily. Li Dongyuan stated: Eating well but emaciating occurs when Stomach harbors fire in Qi level allowing eating, while Spleen deficiency causes muscle wasting. Prescription in *Sheng Ji Zong Lu*, Volume 47.
"Stinging Nose Pool" (Xin Bi Yuan): Wu Kun stated: Brain受热 (receives heat), causing stinging in nasal passages, with nasal discharge flowing like a pool without cessation. Jian An: *Yu Pian* defines as nasal bridge. *Shi Ming* compares it to a saddle. *Tu Yi* says pronunciation is 'E', also called Lower Peak or Shan Gen. Shen Zilu said: Commonly called nose root, or written as (frowning, see *Shi Ji · Cai Ze Zhuan*). Gao Shishi stated: Stinging on both sides of nose, lateral nose is called Bi, which is incorrect. *Qian Jin Fang* stated: Nasal cavity discharge unceasing transforms into Qiu Meng Ming Mu. Thus, it results from Qi Jue. Nasal cavity discharge unceasing is Bi Yuan. Zhang Lu's *Zhang Shi Yi Tong* stated: Differentiate Bi Yuan and Bi Qiu by cold/heat. Purulent smelly discharge is Yuan (Heat), treat with cooling dispersants. Clear non-smelly discharge is Qiu (Deficiency-Cold), treat with acrid-warm regulators.
"Nu": *Jia Yi Jing* writes character differently (*Guang Yun*: Red eyes). Pronunciation: Mo Jie Qie. Jian An: Wang Bing's note "Sweat Blood" appears in *Shuo Wen*. Wu Kun stated: Bleeding from nose is Nu. Heavy bleeding is Nu, light bleeding is , with unclear basis. *Sheng Ji Zong Lu* stated: In nose it is Nu, in sweat pores it is . This misreads Wang Bing, confusing filth with sweat, which is too negligent.
"Therefore, obtained via Qi Jue": Jian An: Wang Bing and subsequent commentators considered this the summary of the chapter. However, Yong Shui, Long Ni Xue, Fu Jia, Shi Yi, etc., are unlikely to be solely due to Qi Jue. It likely refers only to Stinging, Bi Yuan, Nu, and Ming Mu. The whole book includes this chapter in *Jue Lun*; the title "Qi Jue" was revised by Wang Bing. Knowing this is not a summary text.
