大意
虚者。血气之空虚也。损者。脏腑之损坏也。（绳墨）大抵七情五脏之火飞越。男女声色之欲过度。是皆虚损
之所致也。（正传）
内因
由足三阴虚损。当炎夏金衰水涸。不能啬养。至冬月火气潜藏。时亲帏 。或精血未满。而早年斫丧。或气
血方长。而劳心亏损。皆能致之。（立斋）
外候
外症食少体倦。潮热自汗。身热咳嗽。腰协作痛。男子则遗精寝汗。女人必带漏经枯。素问云。二阳之病发

辨因
凡阴阳亏损。皆因水火不济。（入门）真阴内亏。虚火炎灼。肺金受伤。无以生肾水。肾水枯竭。无以济心火。心

【大意】
所谓“虚”，是指气血的亏空不足；所谓“损”，是指脏腑功能的损坏。（出自《绳墨》）大抵上，七情（喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊）导致五脏之火飞越妄动，以及男女房事欲望过度，这些都是导致虚损的原因。（出自《正传》）
【内因】
由于足三阴经（肝、脾、肾）的虚损，正值盛夏时节，金气衰弱，肾水枯竭，不能节制保养。到了冬季，阳气应当潜藏，却频繁亲近女色，或者精血尚未充盈就早年耗损，或者气血正在生长阶段却因劳心而亏损，这些都能导致虚损。（出自《立斋》）
【外候】
外在症状表现为饮食减少、身体疲倦、潮热、自汗、身体发热、咳嗽、腰部及胁肋部疼痛。男子会出现遗精和睡中出汗（盗汗），女子必然出现白带过多、漏下或月经闭止。《素问》说：“阳明经的病发于心脾，有难以言说的隐曲之疾，女子就会月经不来。”说的就是这种情况。（出自《汇补》）
【外因新损】
感受寒邪损伤阳气，病势自上而下发展：一损于肺，则皮毛枯槁脱落；二损于心，则血脉不荣润；三损于胃，则饮食不能转化为肌肤营养。感受热邪损伤阴液，病势自下而上发展：一损于肾，则骨痿无力站立；二损于肝，则筋脉松弛不收引；三损于脾，则饮食不能消化。（出自《难经》）
【内因久虚】
积虚而成损，积损而成劳，长年不愈，称为久虚。有五劳、六极、七伤的区别。五劳对应五脏：用心机过度则劳心，尽力谋划思虑则劳肝，意外之事过度思虑则劳脾，预先担忧则劳肺，刻意持守志节则劳肾。六极对应六腑：血极则面色枯槁、咽喉肿痛、头发脱落、容易健忘；筋极则拘挛抽筋、指甲暗紫疼痛；肉极则身体消瘦、倦怠嗜卧；气极则气喘咳嗽、少气懒言、皮肤干枯毛发焦黄；骨极则面色污垢、牙齿浮动、腰酸脊痛；精极则视力昏暗、耳鸣、遗精滑浊、阴茎软弱。七伤是推究劳极的原因：如久视伤血，久卧伤气，久坐伤肉，久立伤骨，久行伤筋，房劳和思虑伤心肾。（出自《入门》）
【辨因】
凡是阴阳亏损，都是因为水火不能既济。（出自《入门》）真阴在内亏虚，虚火炎灼，肺金受伤，无法滋生肾水；肾水枯竭，无法制约心火；心火一旦旺盛，肾火随之而起，于是梦遗、精脱的病发作。肺气一旦虚弱，腠理疏松，于是产生盗汗、自汗的病。火动扰血，血随火上升，于是出现咳嗽、吐血的症候。（出自《指掌》）
【辨症】
虚损的症状，根据名称来追究实质，不过是气虚、血虚、阴虚的不同罢了。凡是脾肺不足，都是气虚；心肝不足，都是血虚；肾水不足，就是阴虚。（出自《指掌》）所以心肺受损且面色疲惫、多汗的是阳虚；肾肝受损且形体痿弱、多汗的是阴虚。（出自《机要》）
【脉法】
虚脉多呈弦象。弦大而无力是血虚，弦微无力是气虚。沉微是气虚严重，沉涩是血虚严重。寸脉微尺脉大，是血虚伴有火旺；浮急中空，是血脱气孤。（出自《汇补》）
【治法】
阳气有余而阴气不足，就应当补阴；阴气有余而阳气不足，就应当补阳。（出自《子和》）损伤肺的，益其气；损伤心的，补其营血；损伤脾的，调理饮食，适应寒温；损伤肝的，舒缓其中气；损伤肾的，益其精。（出自《难经》）
【用药】
气虚主要用补中益气汤；血虚主要用四物汤；气血俱虚，主要用归脾汤；阳虚主要用黄芪建中汤；阴虚主要用六味地黄汤；阴阳俱虚，主要用八味丸。
【虚损选方】
补中益气汤、四物汤、六君子汤、归脾汤、还少丹、四君子汤、八珍汤、人参养荣汤、十全大补汤、六味丸、八味丸（以上方剂均见中风篇）、逍遥散（方见火症篇）、建中汤（方见血症篇）。

接命膏
人乳（二盏）、甜梨汁（一盏）。

[General Principle]
"Deficiency" refers to the emptiness and insufficiency of Qi and Blood. "Damage" refers to the impairment of Zang-Fu organs. (From *Shengmo*) Generally, the soaring and reckless movement of Fire in the Five Zang organs caused by the Seven Emotions (Joy, Anger, Worry, Pensiveness, Sorrow, Fear, Fright), as well as excessive sexual desire in men and women, are all causes of deficiency and damage. (From *Zhengchuan*)
[Internal Causes]
Due to the deficiency and damage of the Three Yin Meridians of the Foot (Liver, Spleen, Kidney), during the peak of summer when Metal energy is weak and Kidney Water is dried up, one fails to conserve and nourish oneself. When winter arrives and Yang Qi should be hidden, frequent intimacy with women occurs, or essence and blood are not yet full but early depletion happens, or Qi and Blood are still growing but mental labor causes loss, all these can lead to deficiency and damage. (From *Lizhai*)
[External Manifestations]
External symptoms include reduced appetite, physical fatigue, tidal fever, spontaneous sweating, body heat, cough, and pain in the lower back and hypochondrium. Men will experience spermatorrhea and nocturnal emission (night sweats); women will inevitably suffer from leukorrhea, metrorrhagia, or amenorrhea. The *Suwen* states: "Diseases of the Yangming Meridian originate from the Heart and Spleen; there are unspoken hidden grievances, and women will have no menstruation." This is what is meant. (From *Huibu*)
[External Causes - New Damage]
Contracting cold damages Yang Qi, progressing from top to bottom: First damage to the Lung results in flaccid skin and falling hair; second damage to the Heart results in non-nourished blood vessels; third damage to the Stomach results in food failing to transform into muscle and flesh. Contracting heat damages Yin fluids, progressing from bottom to top: First damage to the Kidney results in bone atrophy and inability to stand; second damage to the Liver results in lax tendons that cannot contract; third damage to the Spleen results in indigestion. (From *Nanjing*)
[Internal Causes - Chronic Deficiency]
Accumulated deficiency becomes damage; accumulated damage becomes exhaustion. If it persists for years without cure, it is called chronic deficiency. There are distinctions among Five Exhaustions, Six Extremes, and Seven Injuries. The Five Exhaustions correspond to the Five Zang organs: overuse of mental effort exhausts the Heart; striving in planning and thinking exhausts the Liver; excessive worrying about unexpected matters exhausts the Spleen; preoccupation with worry exhausts the Lungs; rigid adherence to moral principles exhausts the Kidneys. The Six Extremes correspond to the Six Fu organs: Extreme Blood results in sallow complexion, swollen throat, hair loss, and forgetfulness; Extreme Tendons result in spasms and convulsions, dark nails, and nail pain; Extreme Flesh results in emaciation, fatigue, and lethargy; Extreme Qi results in panting, coughing, shortness of breath, dry skin, and scorched hair; Extreme Bones results in dirty complexion, floating teeth, sore lower back, and spinal pain; Extreme Essence results in dim vision, tinnitus, seminal emission, turbid urine, and penile weakness. The Seven Injuries trace the origins of exhaustion: prolonged viewing damages Blood; prolonged lying down damages Qi; prolonged sitting damages Flesh; prolonged standing damages Bones; prolonged walking damages Tendons; sexual excess and mental labor damage the Heart and Kidneys. (From *Rumen*)
[Differentiating Causes]
Any deficiency of Yin and Yang is due to the failure of Water and Fire to interact harmoniously. (From *Rumen*) Internal deficiency of True Yin leads to flaming deficiency Fire, injuring Lung Metal, which fails to generate Kidney Water; Kidney Water dries up and fails to control Heart Fire; once Heart Fire flares, Kidney Fire follows, leading to dreams of emission and seminal loss. Once Lung Qi is deficient, the interstices become loose, leading to night sweats and spontaneous sweating. Fire agitates Blood, and Blood rises with Fire, leading to coughing and hemoptysis. (From *Zhangzhang*)
[Differentiating Symptoms]
Symptoms of deficiency and damage, investigated by name to find the substance, are merely differences between Qi deficiency, Blood deficiency, and Yin deficiency. Insufficiency of the Spleen and Lungs is Qi deficiency; insufficiency of the Heart and Liver is Blood deficiency; insufficiency of Kidney Water is Yin deficiency. (From *Zhangzhang*) Therefore, damage to the Heart and Lungs with exhausted complexion and profuse sweating indicates Yang deficiency; damage to the Kidneys and Liver with emaciated form and profuse sweating indicates Yin deficiency. (From *Jiyao*)
[Pulse Diagnosis]
Deficient pulses are often wiry. A wiry, large, and forceless pulse indicates Blood deficiency; a wiry, fine, and forceless pulse indicates Qi deficiency. Deep and fine indicates severe Qi deficiency; deep and choppy indicates severe Blood deficiency. Fine pulse at the Cun position and large pulse at the Chi position indicates Blood deficiency with Fire; floating, rapid, and hollow indicates Blood loss and isolated Qi. (From *Huibu*)
[Therapeutic Methods]
If Yang is excessive and Yin is insufficient, Tonify Yin; if Yin is excessive and Yang is insufficient, Tonify Yang. (From *Hezi*) For damage to the Lung, benefit its Qi; for damage to the Heart, tonify its Ying and Blood; for damage to the Spleen, regulate diet and adapt to cold and warmth; for damage to the Liver, soothe its interior; for damage to the Kidney, benefit its Essence. (From *Nanjing*)
