曰∶大风在身,血脉偏虚,虚者不足,实者有余,轻重不得,倾侧宛状,不知东西南北,乍
上乍下,反复颠倒无常,甚于迷惑。补其不足,泻其有余,阴阳平复。用针如此,疾于解惑
。淫邪偏客于半身,其入深,内居营卫,营卫稍衰,则真气去,邪气独留,发为偏枯;其邪
气浅者,脉偏痛。风逆,暴四肢痛,身漯漯,唏然时寒,饥则烦,饱则善变,取手太阴表里
,足少阴、阳明之经。肉反清取营,骨清取井、经也。偏枯,身偏不用而痛,言不变,智不
乱
肢不收,智乱不甚,其言微知可治;甚则不能言,不可治也。病先起于阳,后入于阴者,先
取其阳,后取其阴,必审其气之浮沉而取之。病大风骨节重,须眉坠,名曰大风。刺肌肉为
故,汗出百日,刺骨髓汗出百日,凡二百日,须眉生而止针。曰∶有病身热懈惰,汗出如浴
,恶风少气,此为何病?曰∶名酒风,治之以泽泻、术各十分,麋衔五分,合以三指撮为后
饮。身有所伤,出血多,及中风寒,若有所坠堕,四肢解 不收,名曰体解。取其少腹
脐下三结交。三结交者,阳明、太阴(一本作阳)脐下三寸关元也。

黄帝问道:针刺节解中提到“解惑”,是指完全了解如何调和阴阳,通过补虚泻实来平衡有余和不足,那么究竟如何解除这种迷惑呢?岐伯回答说:当大风邪气侵袭身体时,血脉会出现偏侧虚弱,虚的一方正气不足,实的一方邪气有余,导致身体轻重失衡,倾斜不稳,如同醉酒般神志昏乱,分不清东西南北,忽上忽下,反复颠倒无常,其症状比一般的迷惑还要严重。治疗时,应补益不足的正气,泻除有余的邪气,使阴阳恢复平衡。使用针刺达到这种效果,比解开迷惑还要迅速。如果淫邪之气偏客于半身,且侵入较深,内居于营卫之中,随着营卫之气逐渐衰弱,真气离去,只有邪气独留,就会发为偏枯(半身不遂);如果邪气较浅,则表现为脉象偏侧疼痛。若是风邪逆乱,突然四肢疼痛,身体感觉湿冷,不时发出叹息声并伴有寒意,饥饿时感到心烦,饱食后则病情变化,应取用手太阴肺经及其表里经(手阳明大肠经),以及足少阴肾经、足阳明胃经的穴位。若肌肉寒冷颤抖,应取营分穴;若骨骼寒冷颤抖,应取井穴和经穴。
偏枯的症状是身体一侧不能活动且伴有疼痛,但言语正常,智力未乱,肢体无法收持。如果智力混乱不严重,言语尚能表达意思,可以治疗;如果严重到不能言语,则不可治疗。疾病先从阳分发起,后传入阴分的,应先取阳分穴位,后取阴分穴位,必须仔细审察病气的浮沉来决定取穴。患大风病导致骨节沉重,胡须眉毛脱落,称为大风。治疗时,先刺肌肉层,令患者出汗,持续一百天;再刺骨髓层,令患者出汗,又持续一百天,总共二百天,待胡须眉毛长出即可停针。
有人问:有一种病,身体发热,肢体懈怠无力,汗出如洗澡般,怕风且气短,这是什么病?答:这叫酒风(饮酒过度导致的湿热病证)。用泽泻、白术各十分,麋衔五分,混合后每次取三指撮的量煎服。如果身体曾受创伤,出血过多,又中中风寒,或者有坠落伤,导致四肢松弛无法收持,这叫体解(肢体懈惰无力)。应取少腹脐下三结交穴。三结交穴,即足阳明胃经、足太阴脾经(另一版本作足太阳膀胱经)与任脉在脐下三寸的关元穴交会之处。

Huangdi asked: The "Jie" (Joint) chapter of acupuncture mentions "resolving confusion," which refers to fully understanding how to harmonize Yin and Yang, balancing excess and deficiency through tonification and sedation. How exactly is this confusion resolved? Qibo replied: When severe wind pathogens invade the body, the blood vessels become unevenly deficient. The deficient side lacks Zheng Qi (True Vital Energy), while the excess side harbors pathogenic factors. This leads to an imbalance in bodily weight and stability, causing the patient to tilt and sway as if intoxicated, unable to distinguish directions, experiencing sudden upward and downward sensations, and reversing constantly. These symptoms are more severe than ordinary confusion. Treatment involves tonifying the deficiency and sedating the excess to restore Yin-Yang balance. Acupuncture achieving this effect works faster than resolving confusion. If evil qi lodges unilaterally in half the body and penetrates deeply into Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) levels, the gradual decline of Ying and Wei causes Zheng Qi to depart, leaving only the evil qi, resulting in Pian Ku (hemiplegia). If the evil qi is shallow, it manifests as unilateral pulse pain. In cases of Wind Ni (Wind Reversal), there is sudden limb pain, a sensation of damp cold over the body, frequent sighing with chills, irritability when hungry, and symptom fluctuation after eating. One should select points from the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian and its interior-exterior paired meridian (Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian), as well as the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian and Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. For muscle tremors due to cold, select Ying-level points; for bone tremors due to cold, select Jing-Well and Jing-River points.
Pian Ku is characterized by unilateral immobility and pain, while speech remains normal and intelligence is intact, though limbs cannot be controlled. If mental confusion is mild and speech is intelligible, the condition is treatable; if severe enough to cause aphasia, it is untreatable. For diseases originating in the Yang aspect and later entering the Yin aspect, one should first treat the Yang aspect and then the Yin aspect, carefully assessing whether the Qi is superficial or deep to determine point selection. Severe wind disease causing heavy joints and loss of eyebrows and beard is called Da Feng (Great Wind). Treatment involves needling the muscle layer until sweating occurs for 100 days, followed by needling the bone marrow level until sweating occurs for another 100 days, totaling 200 days, until hair regrows, at which point needling stops.
Someone asked: There is a condition where the body feels hot, limbs are flaccid and weak, sweating profusely like bathing, aversion to wind, and shortness of breath. What is this disease? It is called Jiu Feng (Wine Wind), caused by excessive alcohol consumption leading to damp-heat. Treat with Zexie (Alisma Rhizome), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) each in ten parts, and Mixian (Dendrobium nobile stem) in five parts. Mix these and take three finger-pinches per dose after decoction. If the body has suffered trauma with significant blood loss, contracted wind-cold, or sustained falls, resulting in flaccid limbs that cannot be held, it is called Ti Jie (Body Unbinding). Select the San Jie Jiao (Three Intersections) point below the umbilicus. San Jie Jiao refers to Guanyuan (CV4), located three cun below the umbilicus, where the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian (another version says Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian), and Ren Mai intersect.
