1. 太阳病，发热且无汗，反而怕冷的，称为刚痉。
2. 太阳病，发热且有汗出，但不怕冷的，称为柔痉。
3. 太阳病，发热，脉象沉而细的，称为痉病。属于难治之证。
4. 太阳病，发汗过多，因而导致痉病。
5. 患风病的人，误用攻下法会导致痉病；如果再次发汗，必然出现肢体拘挛急迫。
6. 患有疮疡的人，即使身体疼痛，也不可使用发汗法，若强行发汗出汗，会导致痉病。
7. 患者，身体发热但足部寒冷，颈项强直紧急，怕冷，有时头部发热，面部和眼睛发红，只有头部摇动，突然牙关紧闭，角弓反张的，是痉病。如果对此类患者发汗，寒湿之气相合，体表更加虚弱，就会极度恶寒；发汗之后，脉象像蛇一样蜿蜒曲折（形容脉象软弱无力、起伏不定）。
8. 突然腹部胀大的，是病情将要解除的表现，脉象如常；如果脉象反而伏而弦紧的，是痉病。
9. 痉病的脉象，按之紧硬如琴弦，直上下行。（另一种说法：脉象筑筑有力而弦。《脉经》说：痉病患者，其脉伏坚，直上下行。）
10. 痉病患者如果有灸疮，难以治愈。
11. 太阳病，症状具备，身体强直，颈项僵硬不舒（几几然），脉象反而沉迟，这是痉病。用栝蒌桂枝汤主治。
栝蒌桂枝汤方
栝蒌根（二两） 桂枝（三两） 芍药（三两） 甘草（二两） 生姜（三两） 大枣（十二枚）
以上六味药，用水九升，煮取三升，分三次温服，服药后取微汗。如果不出汗，喝热粥片刻以助发汗。
12. 太阳病，无汗且小便反而量少，气上冲胸部，牙关紧闭不能说话，即将发作刚痉。用葛根汤主治。
葛根汤方
葛根（四两） 麻黄（三两，去节） 桂枝（二两，去皮） 芍药（二两） 甘草（二两，炙） 生姜（三两） 大枣（十二枚）
以上七味药，切碎，用水一斗，先煮麻黄、葛根，减少二升水，撇去浮沫，加入其他药物，煮取三升，滤去药渣，温服一升，服药后覆盖衣被使全身微微似有汗出，不需要喝热粥。其余调养及禁忌事项参照桂枝汤法。
13. 痉病，胸满口噤，卧时背部不能着席（角弓反张严重），脚部拘挛急迫，必定咬断牙齿（或指磨牙声），可给予大承气汤。
大承气汤方
大黄（四两，酒洗） 浓朴（半斤，炙，去皮） 枳实（五枚，炙） 芒硝（二合）
以上四味药，用水一斗，先煮浓朴、枳实取五升，滤去药渣；加入大黄，煮取二升，滤去药渣；加入芒硝，再上火煮沸一二沸，分两次温服，得大便通下即停止服用。
14. 太阳病，关节疼痛且烦躁，脉象沉而细（一说为缓）的，这名叫湿痹。（《玉函经》说，是中湿。）湿痹的候症，小便不利，大便反而通畅，只应当利小便。
15. 湿家患病，全身都疼痛，发热，身体颜色像熏黄那样暗黄。
16. 湿家，其人只是头部出汗，背部强直想要盖被子靠近火源取暖，如果过早使用攻下法则会出现呃逆，或者胸满，小便不利（一说为通利），舌上像有苔一样的表现，这是因为丹田（下焦）有热，胸上有寒，口渴想喝水却喝不下去，所以口燥烦闷。
17. 湿家，误用攻下法，额头出汗，轻微气喘，小便通利（一说为不利）的，预后不良致死；如果腹泻不止的，也致死。
18. 风湿相互搏结，全身都疼痛，按理应当通过发汗来解表。恰逢天阴雨不停，医生说此病可以发汗，发汗后病未愈，为什么呢？因为发汗时汗出太多，只去了风气，湿气仍在，所以不愈。如果治疗风湿病，发汗应当让身体微微似有汗出的样子，这样风湿之气都能去除。
19. 湿家患病，身体疼痛发热，面色黄且气喘，头痛鼻塞且烦躁，脉象大，能正常饮食，腹部调和无病，病位在头中寒湿，所以鼻塞，将药物纳入鼻中即可痊愈。（《脉经》说：病患气喘。而没有“湿家病”以下至“而喘”这十三个字。）
20. 湿家，身体烦疼，可用麻黄加术汤。发汗为宜，慎重不可用火疗攻邪。

以上五味药，用水九升，先煮麻黄，减少二升水，撇去上浮的泡沫，加入其他药物，煮取二升半，滤去药渣，温服八合，服药后覆盖衣被使全身微微似有汗出。
21. 患者全身都疼痛，发热，在日晡时分（下午3-5点）加重的，名叫风湿。此病是因为出汗当风，或久处寒冷环境所致。可用麻黄杏仁薏苡甘草汤。
麻黄杏仁薏苡甘草汤方
麻黄（去节，半两，热水泡） 甘草（一两，炙） 薏苡仁（半两） 杏仁（十个，去皮尖，炒）
以上药物捣碎如麻豆大小，每次服用四钱，水一盏半，煮至八分，滤去药渣，温服，服药后有微汗需避风。
22. 风湿病脉象浮，身体沉重，汗出，怕风的，用防己黄芪汤主治。
防己黄芪汤方
防己（一两） 甘草（半两，炒） 白术（七钱半） 黄芪（一两一分，去芦）

23. 伤寒八九日，风湿相互搏结，身体疼痛烦躁，不能自行转侧，不呕吐，不口渴，脉象浮虚而涩的，用桂枝附子汤主治。如果大便坚硬，小便自利的，去掉桂枝加白术汤主治。

以上五味药，用水三升，煮取一升，滤去药渣，分三次温服。服完一次药觉得身体麻木，约半小时后再服，三次服完，病人如有头晕目眩的感觉，不要奇怪，这就是白术和附子并走皮中，驱逐水气尚未除去的缘故。
24. 风湿相互搏结，骨节疼痛烦躁，牵掣痛不得屈伸，触碰则痛剧，汗出短气，小便不利，怕风不想脱衣，或者身体轻微浮肿的，用甘草附子汤主治。
甘草附子汤方
甘草（二两，炙） 附子（一枚，炮，去皮） 白术（二两） 桂枝（四两，去皮）
以上四味药，用水六升，煮取三升，滤去药渣，温服一升，每日三次。初服得微汗则病解。能进食但出汗后再次烦躁的，服用五合。恐怕一升药量过多的，服用六七合为妙。
25. 太阳中暍（中暑），发热恶寒，身体重而疼痛，脉象弦细芤迟，小便后，洒洒然毛发耸立，手足逆冷，稍微劳作，身体即发热，口开前板齿干燥。如果发汗，则恶寒更甚；加温针，则发热更甚；多次攻下，则淋证更甚。
26. 太阳中热者，就是中暍。汗出恶寒，身热而渴，用白虎加人参汤主治。

以上五味药，用水一斗，煮米熟汤成，滤去药渣，温服一升，每日三次。
27. 太阳中暍，身热疼重，而脉微弱，这是因为夏天损伤了冷水，水气行于皮中所致。用一物瓜蒂汤主治。

以上药物捣碎，用水一升，煮取五合，滤去药渣，一次性顿服。
1. In Taiyang disease (Disease of the Taiyang/Bladder channel), characterized by fever and absence of sweating, with an aversion to cold, it is named Gang Jing (Yang Spasm).
2. In Taiyang disease, characterized by fever and sweating, without aversion to cold, it is named Rou Jing (Yin Spasm).
3. In Taiyang disease, with fever and a deep, fine pulse, it is named Jing disease (Spasm). It is difficult to treat.
4. Excessive sweating in Taiyang disease leads to Jing disease (Spasm).
5. If a patient with Wind disease undergoes purgation, Jing disease (Spasm) results; if sweating is induced again, limb stiffness and urgency will definitely occur.
6. A patient with sores or ulcers, even if experiencing body pain, should not undergo sweating therapy; if sweating occurs, Jing disease (Spasm) will result.
7. The patient presents with body heat but cold feet, stiff and urgent neck and back, aversion to cold, occasional head heat, red face and eyes, isolated head tremor, sudden lockjaw, and opisthotonos (back arching backward). This is Jing disease (Spasm). If sweating therapy is applied, cold-dampness combines, further weakening the exterior, leading to severe aversion to cold; after sweating, the pulse becomes like a snake (winding and weak).
8. Sudden abdominal distension indicates impending resolution, with the pulse remaining normal; if the pulse is instead hidden and wiry, it is Jing disease (Spasm).
9. The pulse of Jing disease (Spasm), when pressed, is tight and string-like, running straight up and down. (Another version: pulsating and wiry. *Mai Jing* states: For patients with Jing disease (Spasm), the pulse is hidden and firm, running straight up and down.)
10. Jing disease (Spasm) combined with moxibustion sores is difficult to treat.
11. Taiyang disease with complete symptoms, stiff body, and a "Ji Ji" sensation (stiffness in the neck and back), with a reverse deep and slow pulse, is Jing disease (Spasm). It is treated with Gualou Guizhi Tang (Trichosanthes Root and Cinnamon Twig Decoction).
Gualou Guizhi Tang (Trichosanthes Root and Cinnamon Twig Decoction) Formula:
Gualou Gen (Trichosanthes Radix, 2 liang), Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus, 3 liang), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 3 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 2 liang), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 3 liang), Dazao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus, 12 pieces).
The above six ingredients are boiled in 9 sheng of water to obtain 3 sheng. Divide into three warm doses to induce slight sweating. If sweat does not appear, drink hot porridge for a while to promote sweating.
12. Taiyang disease with no sweating, reduced urine output, Qi rushing to the chest, lockjaw preventing speech, indicating impending Gang Jing (Yang Spasm). It is treated with Gegen Tang (Kudzu Root Decoction).
Gegen Tang (Kudzu Root Decoction) Formula:
Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix, 4 liang), Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba, 3 liang, nodes removed), Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus, 2 liang, bark removed), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 2 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 2 liang, honey-fried), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 3 liang), Dazao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus, 12 pieces).
The above seven ingredients are crushed, boiled in 1 dou of water. First boil Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) and Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) until reduced by 2 sheng, skim off foam, then add other herbs. Boil to obtain 3 sheng, filter, and take 1 sheng warm. Cover to induce slight sweating; drinking hot porridge is not required. Rest and dietary precautions follow the method of Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction).
13. In Jing disease (Spasm), with chest fullness, lockjaw, inability to lie flat on the back (severe opisthotonos), leg cramps, and teeth grinding, Da Chengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) may be given.
Da Chengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) Formula:
Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 4 liang, wine-washed), Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, half jin, honey-fried, bark removed), Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, 5 pieces, honey-fried), Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas, 2 he).
The above four ingredients are boiled in 1 dou of water. First boil Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) and Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus) to obtain 5 sheng, filter; add Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), boil to obtain 2 sheng, filter; add Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas), boil briefly over fire for one or two boils, divide into two warm doses. Stop taking upon defecation.
14. Taiyang disease with joint pain and irritability, and a deep, fine (or slow) pulse, is named Shi Bi (Dampness Bi Syndrome). (*Yu Han Jing* states: Infected by Dampness). The manifestation of Shi Bi (Dampness Bi Syndrome) includes difficulty in urination and loose stools; treatment should focus on promoting urination.
15. Patients with chronic Dampness present with generalized body pain, fever, and a sallow yellow complexion resembling smoked yellow.
16. Patients with chronic Dampness who only sweat from the head, have a stiff back, and desire covering and warmth near fire, if treated too early with purgation, may experience hiccups or chest fullness. With difficulty in urination (or clear urination) and a tongue coating resembling moss, this is due to Heat in the Dantian (Lower Jiao) and Cold in the Chest (Upper Jiao). Thirst with inability to drink leads to dry mouth and irritability.
17. If patients with chronic Dampness are purged, resulting in sweating on the forehead, slight wheezing, and clear urination (or difficulty in urination), death ensues; similarly, if diarrhea persists uncontrollably, death ensues.
18. When Wind-Dampness combats, causing generalized body pain, sweating should theoretically resolve the condition. However, during continuous rainy weather, if a physician prescribes sweating therapy and the illness persists, why? Because excessive sweating expels only the Wind, leaving Dampness behind, hence no cure. To treat Wind-Dampness, sweating should be mild and continuous ("like wanting to sweat"), allowing both Wind and Dampness to be expelled.
19. Patients with chronic Dampness presenting with body pain, fever, yellow face, wheezing, headache, nasal congestion, irritability, and a large pulse, yet able to eat normally with a harmonious abdomen, have Cold-Dampness lodged in the head causing nasal congestion. Inserting medicine into the nose will cure it. (*Mai Jing* notes: Patient wheezes. Omits the thirteen characters from "Shi jia bing" to "er chuan".)
20. Patients with chronic Dampness suffering from vexatious body pain may be given Mahuang Jia Zhu Tang (Ephedra plus Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction). Sweating is appropriate; caution against using fire therapy.
Mahuang Jia Zhu Tang (Ephedra plus Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction) Formula:

The above five ingredients are boiled in 9 sheng of water. First boil Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba), reduce by 2 sheng, skim foam, add other herbs, boil to obtain 2.5 sheng, filter, and take 8 ge warm. Cover to induce slight sweating.
21. Patients with generalized body pain and fever that worsens at dusk (You period, 3-5 PM) have Feng Shi (Wind-Dampness). This condition arises from sweating exposed to wind or prolonged exposure to cold. It is treated with Mahuang Xingyi Gancao Tang (Ephedra, Coix Seed, and Licorice Decoction).
Mahuang Xingyi Gancao Tang (Ephedra, Coix Seed, and Licorice Decoction) Formula:
Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba, nodes removed, half liang, soaked in hot water), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 1 liang, honey-fried), Yiyiren (Coicis Semen, half liang), Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum, 10 seeds, skin and tips removed, stir-fried).
Crush the ingredients to the size of hemp seeds. Take 4 qian per dose with 1.5 sheng of water, boil to 0.8 sheng, filter, and take warm. Avoid wind after inducing slight sweating.
22. For Wind-Dampness with a floating pulse, heavy body, sweating, and aversion to wind, Fangji Huangqi Tang (Stephania and Astragalus Decoction) is indicated.
Fangji Huangqi Tang (Stephania and Astragalus Decoction) Formula:
Fangji (Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix, 1 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, half liang, stir-fried), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 7.5 qian), Huangqi (Astragali Radix, 1 liang 1 fen, rhizome removed).
Crush ingredients to the size of hemp seeds. Take 5.7 qian per dose with 4 slices of Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) and 1 piece of Dazao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus), boil in 1.5 sheng of water to 0.8 sheng, filter, and take warm. Repeat later. Add Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) half liang for wheezing, Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) 3 fen for stomach disharmony, Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) 3 fen for Qi rushing upward, and Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma) 3 fen for old cold below. After taking, a sensation of insects crawling under the skin and ice-cold feeling below the waist is expected. Sit on a quilt and wrap another around the waist to keep warm until slight sweating occurs, then recovery.
23. After eight or nine days of Shanghan (Cold Damage), with Wind-Dampness combatting, causing painful body irritability, inability to turn independently, no vomiting, no thirst, and a floating, deficient, and choppy pulse, Guizhi Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Prepared Aconite Decoction) is indicated. If stool is hard and urination is free, remove Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) and add Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), treated with Baizhu Fuzi Tang (Atractylodes Macrocephala and Prepared Aconite Decoction).
Guizhi Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Prepared Aconite Decoction) Formula:

The above five ingredients are boiled in 6 sheng of water to obtain 2 sheng, filter, and divide into three warm doses.
Baizhu Fuzi Tang (Atractylodes Macrocephala and Prepared Aconite Decoction) Formula:
Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 2 liang), Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, 1.5 pieces, processed, bark removed), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 1 liang, honey-fried), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 1.5 liang, sliced), Dazao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus, 6 pieces).
The above five ingredients are boiled in 3 sheng of water to obtain 1 sheng, filter, and divide into three warm doses. After the first dose, numbness may be felt; repeat after half an hour. After all three doses, a dizzy sensation may occur; do not be alarmed, as this is Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) and Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) moving through the skin to expel water qi.
24. When Wind-Dampness combats, causing painful joints, pulling pain preventing flexion and extension, severe pain upon touch, sweating, shortness of breath, difficulty in urination, aversion to wind with reluctance to remove clothes, or slight edema, Gancao Fuzi Tang (Licorice and Prepared Aconite Decoction) is indicated.
