（附肺痿肺痈）
咳嗽有风寒、痰饮、火、劳嗽、肺胀。春作是春升之气，用清凉药，二陈加薄、
荆之类；
夏是火气炎上，最重用芩、连；秋是湿热伤肺；冬是风寒外来，以药发散之后，用
半夏逐痰，必不再来。风寒，行痰开腠理，用二陈汤加麻黄、桔梗、杏仁，逐痰饮，降痰，
随证加药。火主清金，化痰降火。劳嗽，宜四物汤加竹沥、姜汁，补阴为主。干咳嗽难治，此系火
郁
不已
生姜佐之。大概有痰加痰药。上半日多嗽者，此属胃中有火，用贝母、石膏降胃火；午后
嗽
宜五味子、五倍子敛而降之；五更嗽多者，此胃中有食积，至此时，火气流入肺，以知母、
地骨皮降肺火；肺胀而嗽，或左或右，不得眠，此痰挟瘀血碍气而病，宜养血以流动乎气，
降火
青皮挟痰药，实者白芥子之类。在后，以二陈汤加南星、香附、青黛、青皮、姜汁。血碍气作嗽者，
桃仁去皮尖、大黄酒炒，姜汁丸服。治嗽多用生姜，以其辛散故也。痰因火动逆上作嗽者
，先
要先去病根，此乃收后药也。治痢亦同。劳嗽即火郁嗽，用诃子能治肺气，因火伤极，遂成
郁遏胀满不得眠一边。取其味酸苦，有收敛降火之功，佐以海石童便浸、香附、栝蒌、青黛
、杏仁、半夏曲之类，姜蜜调，噙化，必以补阴为主。治嗽灸天突穴、肺 穴，大泻肺气
。肺 穴在三推骨下两傍各一寸五分。
师云∶阴分嗽者，多属阴虚治之。有嗽而肺胀壅遏不得眠者，难治。肺痿，专主养肺气
，养
足
辛以散之；肺虚者，人参膏、阿胶为主；阴不足者，六味地黄丸为要药，或知母茯苓汤为妙；
阴虚气喘，四物汤加陈皮、甘草些少以降其气，补其阴，白芍药须用酒浸晒干。湿痰带风
喘嗽者，不可一味苦寒折之，如千缗汤、坠痰丸。更以皂角、萝卜子、杏仁、百药煎，姜汁丸
噙化。湿痰带风，以千缗汤、坠痰丸，固捷。痰积嗽，非青黛、栝蒌不除。有食积人，面青
黄色不常，面上有如蟹爪路，一黄一白者是。咳逆嗽，非蛤粉、青黛、栝蒌、贝母不除。
燥咽干有痰者，不用半夏、南星，用栝蒌、贝母；饮水者不用栝蒌，恐泥膈不松快。知母止
嗽清肺，滋阴降火。杏仁泻肺气，气虚久嗽者，一二服劫止。治酒嗽，青黛、栝蒌，姜蜜
丸，噙救肺。食积痰作嗽发热者，半夏、南星为君，栝蒌、萝卜子为臣，青黛、石碱为使。
戴云∶风寒者，鼻塞声重恶寒者是也；火者，有声痰少面赤者是也；劳者，盗汗出；兼
，多作寒热；肺胀者，动则喘满，气急息重，痰者嗽动，便有痰声，痰出嗽止。五者大概

(Attached: Lung Abscess and Lung Withering)
Cough is categorized into five types: Wind-Cold (Wind-Cold), Phlegm-Fluid Retention (Phlegm-Fluid), Fire (Fire), Labor Cough (Labor Cough), and Lung Distension (Lung Distension). Spring onset is due to the ascending Qi of spring; use cooling herbs, such as Er Chen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction) added with Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba) and Jingjie (Schizonepetae Spica). Summer onset is due to Fire Qi flaring upward; heavily use Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) and Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma). Autumn onset is due to Damp-Heat injuring the Lung. Winter onset is due to external Wind-Cold; after using dispersing herbs, use Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) to expel phlegm, ensuring recurrence does not happen. For Wind-Cold cough, move phlegm and open the interstices; use Er Chen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction) added with Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), and Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum) to expel phlegm-fluids and descend phlegm, adding herbs according to the syndrome. For Fire, clear the Metal (Lung), transform phlegm, and descend Fire. For Labor Cough, use Si Wu Tang (Four Substance Decoction) added with Zhuli (Bambusae Caulis in Taenia) and Jiangzhi (Zingiberis Juice), focusing on nourishing Yin. Dry cough is difficult to treat; this is due to persistent Fire Stagnation, assisted by Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens). Generally, if there is phlegm, add phlegm-transforming herbs. Cough occurring mostly in the first half of the day belongs to Fire in the Stomach; use Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus) and Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) to descend Stomach Fire. Afternoon cough should be treated with Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus) and Wubeizi (Gallae Chinensis) to astringe and descend. Early morning (Wugeng) cough is mostly due to Food Stagnation in the Stomach; at this time, Fire Qi flows into the Lung; use Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma) and Digupi (Lycii Cortex) to descend Lung Fire. Lung distension with cough, affecting either left or right side, preventing sleep, is caused by Phlegm obstructing Qi with Blood Stasis; nourish Blood to move Qi, descend Fire, use Qingpi (Aurantii Fructus Pericarpium) with phlegm-transforming herbs; for Excess patterns, use Baijiezhi (Brassicae Semis Albus). Later stage, use Er Chen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction) added with Nanting (Arisaematis Rhizoma Preparatum), Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma), Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis), Qingpi (Aurantii Fructus Pericarpium), and Jiangzhi (Zingiberis Juice). When Blood obstruction causes cough, use Tao Ren (Persicae Semen) peeled and deseeded, and Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) stir-fried with wine, made into pills with Jiangzhi (Zingiberis Juice). Treating cough often uses Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) because of its acrid-dispersing nature. When Phlegm moves due to Fire and rebels upward causing cough, first remove the root cause; this is a follow-up treatment. Treatment for Dysentery is similar. Labor Cough is essentially Fire Stagnation Cough; use Hezi (Terminalia Chebulae Fructus) to treat Lung Qi. Due to extreme Fire injury, it leads to stagnation, distension, and inability to sleep. Utilize its sour and bitter taste for its astringing and descending Fire effects; assist with Haishi (Pteropoditum) soaked in Tongbian (Child's Urine), Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma), Gualou (Trichosanthis Fructus), Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis), Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum), Banxiaqu (Pinelliae Fermentum), etc., mixed with Ginger and Honey, held in the mouth to dissolve. Must focus on nourishing Yin. Treat cough by moxibustion on Tiantu (CV22) and Feishu (BL13) acupoints to greatly drain Lung Qi. Feishu (BL13) is located 1.5 cun lateral to the lower border of the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra.
The Master said: Yin-type cough mostly belongs to Yin Deficiency; treat accordingly. Cough with Lung distension, obstruction, and inability to sleep is difficult to treat. Lung Withering focuses on nourishing Lung Qi. [Text gap] Acrid herbs disperse it; for Lung Deficiency, use Renshen Gao (Ginseng Paste) and Ejiao (Asini Corii Colla) as main treatments; for Yin insufficiency, Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) is essential, or Zhimu Fuling Tang (Anemarrhena and Poria Decoction) is excellent; for Yin Deficiency with Asthma, use Si Wu Tang (Four Substance Decoction) added with Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) and Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) in small amounts to descend Qi and nourish Yin; Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) must be soaked in wine and sun-dried. For Wet-Phlegm with Wind causing Asthma and Cough, do not use purely bitter-cold herbs to suppress it, such as Qianmin Tang (Thousand-Silk Decoction) or Zhuidan Wan (Phlegm-Descending Pill). Further use Zaorao (Sinapis Albi Semen), Luobozhong (Raphani Semen), Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum), Baiyaojian (Fermented Tea Brick), made into pills with Jiangzhi (Zingiberis Juice) to hold in the mouth. Wet-Phlegm with Wind, using Qianmin Tang (Thousand-Silk Decoction) and Zhuidan Wan (Phlegm-Descending Pill) is indeed rapid. Phlegm Accumulation Cough cannot be cured without Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis) and Gualou (Trichosanthis Fructus). People with Food Stagnation have irregular green-yellow facial complexion, with crab-claw-like lines on the face, alternating yellow and white. Rebellious Cough cannot be cured without Hafan (Concha Meretricis et Cyclinae), Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis), Gualou (Trichosanthis Fructus), and Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus). For Dryness with Throat Dryness and Phlegm, do not use Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) or Nanting (Arisaematis Rhizoma Preparatum); use Gualou (Trichosanthis Fructus) and Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus); for those drinking water, do not use Gualou (Trichosanthis Fructus), fearing it will obstruct the chest and cause discomfort. Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma) stops cough, clears Lung, nourishes Yin, and descends Fire. Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum) drains Lung Qi; for Qi Deficiency with chronic cough, one or two doses can arrest it. For Alcohol-induced Cough, use Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis) and Gualou (Trichosanthis Fructus), made into pills with Ginger and Honey, held in the mouth to rescue the Lung. For Food Stagnation and Phlegm causing Cough and Fever, Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) and Nanting (Arisaematis Rhizoma Preparatum) are Sovereign herbs; Gualou (Trichosanthis Fructus) and Luobozhong (Raphani Semen) are Minister herbs; Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis) and Shijian (Alkali) are Envoy herbs.
Dai Yun said: Wind-Cold presents with nasal congestion, heavy voice, and aversion to cold; Fire presents with audible phlegm but little sputum and red face; Labor presents with night sweats; [Text gap], often presenting with alternating chills and fever; Lung Distension presents with panting and fullness upon movement, urgent breathing, and heavy respiration; Phlegm presents with sound of phlegm during cough, stopping when phlegm is expelled. These five are the general cases. One must also clarify their validity.

Treatment for Lung Withering lies in nourishing Blood, nourishing Lung, nourishing Qi, and clearing Metal. I once treated a woman, over twenty years old, who had an opening between her chest and sternum, from which pus and blood coughed from the mouth emerged correspondingly. Using Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Huangqi (Astragali Radix), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), formulas to tonify Qi and Blood, plus herbs to reduce fever and discharge pus, she recovered.
[Appendix] "Jinkui Fanglun" states: Heat in the Upper Jiao causes cough leading to Lung Withering. It arises from sweating, vomiting, Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst) with frequent urination, or constipation followed by harsh purgatives, causing severe loss of body fluids. Thus, the Cun Kou (Inch Pulse) is rapid, the person coughs, has turbid saliva and foam in the mouth; this is the disease of Lung Withering, characterized by a rapid and deficient pulse.

To contract the wound, decoct Huan Pi (Albiziae Cortex) and Bai Lian (Moutan Cortex? Note: Text says 'Huan Pi... Hehuan is Hibiscus bark', likely referring to Albiziae Cortex or similar astringent bark) and drink. Hehuan is Hibiscus bark, also called Yehe.
