宝丰阿磨堆侯君辅之县丞为亲军时饮食积寒所伤久矣，一日病其脉极沉细易辨，即阴证无疑

宝丰县阿磨堆的侯君辅，担任县丞一职。他在担任亲军期间，因饮食不节且长期受寒邪侵袭，身体早已受损。有一天他发病，脉象极其沉细，容易辨识，这无疑是阴证。
体内寒冷而体表发热，所以肩背、胸部和胁部出现了十几处皮疹（或汗疹），言语狂乱无章。他的家人惊恐地说：“出现谵语（神志不清时的胡言乱语），莫非是热证吗？”我说：“不是这样。阳气被阴寒逼迫，向上侵入肺脏，并传导至皮毛，所以皮肤出现微疹；心神不能安守于舍，所以说话错乱如同发狂，这并不是谵语。”虽然肌表感觉发热，但用手按压片刻，手感冷透如水。我给他服用干姜、附子等药物，前后数日，累计约二十多两，之后他大汗出而痊愈。
等他看到庭院中的景物，以及儿童、鸡犬时，指着它们说：“这正是我两三天前梦中的景象。”由此可见，心神不能安守确实是事实。病愈后起身行走，他的狂症又发作了，睁大眼睛说道：“现在我接受了省里的公文任命为御马官，各位大使为什么不为我庆贺？”等到诊脉时，脉象又变得沉退，已有三四天没有大便。我给他服用理中丸，三天内累计约半斤，疾病完全痊愈。侯公的这种狂症，不是阳狂之狂，而是失神之狂，属于阴证。只要以脉象作为验证依据，学习者应当仔细审察，单独依据脉象诊断，而不必依赖外在症状即可。
宝丰县的侯八郎外感风邪，内伤冷食，自行服用通圣散，导致大汗淋漓，内外阳气全部脱失，来不及救治而死。
他的儿子国华又患伤寒四五日，身体微微发热，口渴想喝水。等到诊脉时，脉象沉弦近乎消失，这是厥阴经的脉象。用温药治疗数日未见好转，又用干姜、附子等药物使脉象微微恢复生机。因为他口渴私自喝了一碗水，脉象再次沉退，只见头抬不起来，眼睛睁不开，询问病情则涉及“阴易”（指大病初愈因房事或劳累导致的复发或变证）。如果只给予烧裈散（一种治疗阴阳易的方剂），则药性寒凉而不能济助阳气。于是煎煮吴茱萸汤一大服，配合烧裈散连续服用两服，结果出了两天两夜的大汗才停止。为什么会这样呢？因为至阴之汗从骨髓中得到温煦而排出，所以液汗持续了两昼夜才停止。
The Assistant Magistrate (Xiancheng) Hou Junfu from Amadui, Baofeng County, suffered from long-term injury due to dietary accumulation and cold pathogenic factors while serving in the Imperial Guard. One day, he fell ill with a pulse that was extremely deep and fine, which is easy to distinguish; this was undoubtedly a Yin Syndrome (Yin Zheng).
Internal cold with external heat caused several spots to appear on his shoulders, back, chest, and hypochondrium. His speech was chaotic and delirious. His family, alarmed, said, "He is experiencing verbal delirium (Zhanyu); could it be a Heat syndrome?" I replied, "No. Yang Qi is forced by Yin Cold to ascend into the Lung, transmitting to the skin and hair, hence the slight eruption of spots. The Spirit (Shen) fails to reside in its abode, leading to confused speech resembling madness, but this is not verbal delirium." Although the muscle and surface felt hot, pressing them with the hand revealed a coldness penetrating like water after a moment. I administered herbs such as Sheng Jiang (Prepared Ginger) and Fu Zi (Aconite Root), totaling over twenty taels over several days. He then sweated profusely and recovered.
Upon seeing objects in the courtyard, children, chickens, and dogs, he pointed at them and said, "These are exactly the scenes from my dreams two or three days ago." This confirms that the Spirit indeed failed to reside in its abode. After recovery, when he stood up and walked, his madness recurred. Opening his eyes wide, he said, "I have now received an official appointment from the Provincial Secretariat as a Royal Horse Officer; why do you grand envoys not celebrate for me?" Upon examination, the pulse had become deep and retreating again, and he had not had a bowel movement for three or four days. I administered Lizhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill), totaling about half a jin within three days, and his illness completely resolved. Hou Gong's madness was not the madness of Yang Excess, but the madness of lost Spirit, which belongs to Yin. One should rely on the pulse as the verification; scholars should examine carefully, relying solely on the pulse rather than external symptoms.
Hou Balang from Baofeng contracted Wind externally and Cold internally. He self-administered Tongsheng San, resulting in profuse sweating, causing both internal and external Yang Qi to collapse, and he died before treatment could be effective.
His son, Guohua, subsequently suffered from Shanghan (Cold Damage) for four or five days, presenting with slight body heat and thirst with desire to drink water. Upon pulse diagnosis, the pulse was deep, wiry, and nearly absent, characteristic of the Jueyin Meridian. Treatment with warming herbs for several days yielded no improvement. Subsequently, using Sheng Jiang and Fu Zi, the pulse slightly returned and life signs revived. However, due to thirst, he privately drank a bowl of water, causing the pulse to retreat again. He presented only with an inability to lift his head or open his eyes. Inquiry revealed involvement of Yin Yi (Easy Transmission/Yin Exchange). If only Shaokun San (Burned Underwear Powder) were given, its cold nature would fail to support the Yang. Therefore, I decocted a large dose of Wuzhuyu Tang (Evodia Decoction) and combined it with Shaokun San, administering two doses consecutively. This resulted in profuse sweating lasting two full days and nights before stopping. Why was this so? Because the sweat of extreme Yin emerged from the bone marrow after receiving warmth, thus the fluid sweat continued for two days and nights until cessation.
