伤寒传变大法，已详《伤寒论注》及《心法要诀》中矣。然近世治四时伤寒者，咸
用河间两解等法，每多神效，诚治斯证之捷法也。今复采双解散。防风通圣散诸经验名
方，编为歌诀，附于心法之后，俾后之学人，知所变通，庶几于伤寒一证，经权常变，有
所遵循，而无遗法云。
双解通圣合六一，四时温热正伤寒，两许为剂葱姜豉，汗下兼行表里宣，强者加倍
弱减半，不解连进自然安，若因汗少麻倍入，便硬硝黄加倍添。
【注】名曰双解散者，以其能发表攻里，即防风通圣散、六一散二方合剂也。河间制
此，解利四时冬温春温，夏热秋热，正令伤寒。凡邪在三阳表里不解者，以两许为剂，加
葱、姜、淡豆豉煎服之，候汗下兼行，表里即解。形气强者，两半为剂，形气弱者，五
钱为剂。若初服因汗少不解，则为表实，倍加麻黄以汗之。因便硬不解，则为里实，倍
加硝黄以下之，连进二、三服；必令汗出下利而解也。今人不知其妙，以河间过用寒凉，
仲景伤寒初无下法，弃而不用，深可惜也。不知其法神捷，莫不应手取效，从无寒中痞结
之变，即有一、二不解者，非未尽法之善，则必已传阳明，故不解也。防风通圣散详在
后。
汗下已通仍不解，皆因不彻已传经，内热烦渴甘露饮，甚用白虎解毒清，有表热烦
柴葛解，表实大热三黄宁，里热尿赤凉天水，胃实不便大柴承。
【注】服双解散，汗下已通而仍不解者，皆因汗之彻，或已传经治之不及也。若表已
解而里有微热烦渴者，用桂苓甘露饮，以和太阳之里。若内热太甚，大热、大烦、大渴
者，用白虎汤合黄连解毒汤，以清阳明之里。若表未解又传阳明，身热而烦，用柴葛解肌
汤，以解两阳之邪。若表实无汗，大热而烦，用三黄石膏汤以清表里之热。若里有热，尿
赤而涩者，用凉膈散合天水散以清利之。若胃实潮热不大便有微表者，用大柴胡汤下之。

The general principles of the transmission and transformation of Shanghan (Cold Damage) have been detailed in *Shanghan Lun Zhu* (Commentary on the Treatise on Cold Damage) and *Xinfa Yaojue* (Essential Principles of Clinical Practice). However, contemporary practitioners treating seasonal cold damage often employ Hejian's (Liu Wansu's) "Liangjie" (Dual Resolution) methods, which frequently yield remarkable efficacy. This is indeed a swift method for treating such conditions. Herein, we have collected empirical famous formulas such as Shuangjie San (Double Resolution Powder) and Fangfeng Tongsheng San (Saposhnikovia and Gardenia Decoction), compiled them into rhythmic verses, and appended them after *Xinfa Yaojue*, so that future students may know how to adapt flexibly. It is hoped that regarding the syndrome of Shanghan, one will have guidelines for following the constant principles while adapting to changing circumstances, thereby not omitting any therapeutic methods.
Combining Shuangjie San with Tongsheng San and Liuyi San is indicated for seasonal warm-heat or true cold damage syndromes. The dosage is "liang xu" (approximately 1 tael/30g), decocted with Scallion (Congbai), Ginger (Shengjiang), and Fermented Soybean (Douchi). This promotes simultaneous sweating and purging, dispersing pathogenic factors from both the exterior and interior. For those with strong constitution, double the dose; for those with weak constitution, halve it. If the condition does not resolve, continuous administration will naturally bring peace. If perspiration is insufficient and the condition persists, double the amount of Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄); if stool is hard and the condition persists, double the amounts of Mirabilitum (Mangxiao, 芒硝) and Rheum Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang, 大黄).
[Note] It is named "Shuangjie San" (Double Resolution Powder) because it can release the exterior and purge the interior; it is a combined preparation of Fangfeng Tongsheng San (Saposhnikovia and Gardenia Decoction) and Liuyi San (Six-to-One Powder). Hejian (Liu Wansu) formulated this to resolve winter-warmth, spring-warmth, summer-heat, autumn-heat, and true cold damage of the four seasons. Whenever pathogens are unresolved in the Taiyang, Yangming, and Shaoyang meridians affecting both exterior and interior, use "liang xu" (approx. 30g) as the dose, decocted with Scallion (Congbai), Ginger (Shengjiang), and Fermented Soybean (Douchi). Wait for simultaneous sweating and purging, at which point exterior and interior pathogens will be resolved. For those with robust form and qi, use half a liang (approx. 15g); for those with deficient form and qi, use 5 qian (approx. 15g). If initial administration fails to resolve due to lack of sweat, it indicates exterior excess; double the Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄) to induce sweating. If failure to resolve is due to hard stool, it indicates interior excess; double the Mirabilitum (Mangxiao, 芒硝) and Rheum Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang, 大黄) to purge. Administer continuously for two or three doses; resolution requires both sweating and purging. Modern people do not understand its subtleties, arguing that Hejian overuses cold-natured herbs and that Zhang Zhongjing initially did not use purging methods for Shanghan, thus discarding it. This is a great pity. They fail to realize the method's divine speed and efficacy, which rarely fails to work instantly, without causing cold-stagnation or palpitations. Even if one or two cases do not resolve, it is either due to incomplete application of the method's excellence or because the pathogen has already transmitted to the Yangming meridian. Details of Fangfeng Tongsheng San (Saposhnikovia and Gardenia Decoction) follow later.
If sweating and purging have been performed but the condition remains unresolved, it is due to incomplete sweating or transmission to other meridians. If there is internal heat, irritability, and thirst, use Ganlu Yin (Sweet Dew Drink). If severe, use Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) combined with Huanglian Jiedu Tang (Coptis Detoxification Decoction) to clear heat. If there is exterior heat and irritability, use Chaige Jieji Tang (Bupleurum and Kudzu Muscle-Releasing Decoction). If there is exterior excess with high fever, use Sanhuang Shigao Tang (Three Yellows and Gypsum Decoction) to calm. If there is interior heat with red urine, use Liangge San (Cool the Diaphragm Powder) combined with Tianshui San (Heavenly Water Powder). If there is stomach excess with constipation and slight exterior symptoms, use Da Chaihu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction) to purge. If there is no exterior symptom, use the Three Chengqi Decoctions to purge. Guiling Ganlu Yin (Guiling Sweet Dew Drink), Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction), Da Chaihu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction), and the Three Chengqi Decoctions are detailed in *Shanghan Yaojue*. Liuyi San (Six-to-One Powder) and Liangge San (Cool the Diaphragm Powder) are detailed in *Zabing Yaojue*.
Fangfeng Tongsheng San (Saposhnikovia and Gardenia Decoction) treats wind-heat pathogens stagnating in the Sanjiao (Triple Burner) affecting both exterior and interior, causing Qi and Blood obstruction and meridian congestion. Ingredients include Gardeniae Fructus (Zhizi, 栀子), Forsythiae Fructus (Lianqiao, 连翘), Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin, 黄芩), Menthae Haplocalycis Herba (Bohe, 薄荷), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui, 当归), Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong, 川芎), Mirabilitum (Mangxiao, 芒硝), Rheum Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang, 大黄), Paeoniae Radix Alba (Baishao, 白芍), Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu, 白术), Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏), Talcum (Huashi, 滑石), Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄), Platycodonis Radix (Jiegeng, 桔梗), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng, 防风), and Schizonepetae Spica (Jingjie, 荆芥). Reduce Mirabilitum (Mangxiao, 芒硝) and Rheum Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang, 大黄) if diarrhea occurs; add Zingiberis Recens Rhizoma (Shengjiang, 生姜) and Pinelliae Rhizoma (Banxia, 半夏) if vomiting occurs; remove Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄) and increase Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guizhi, 桂枝) if spontaneous sweating occurs.
[Note] This formula treats all wind-fire pathogens stagnating in the Sanjiao (Triple Burner) and meridians of the exterior and interior, preventing the free flow of Qi and Blood. It is suitable for initial contraction with fever and headache, skin rashes transmitting through meridians, jaundice, convulsions, irritability, thirst, insomnia, constipation, and dysuria. Its efficacy is remarkable.
Chaige Jieji Tang (Bupleurum and Kudzu Muscle-Releasing Decoction) is applicable when diseases of the four seasons involve the three Yang meridians simultaneously. Ingredients include Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu, 柴胡), Puerariae Lobatae Radix (Gegen, 葛根), Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo, 羌活), Angelicae Dahuricae Radix (Baizhi, 白芷), Platycodonis Radix (Jiegeng, 桔梗), Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin, 黄芩), Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏), Paeoniae Radix Rubra (Chishao, 赤芍), and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草). Reduce Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏) if diarrhea occurs; add Pinelliae Rhizoma (Banxia, 半夏) and Zingiberis Recens Rhizoma (Shengjiang, 生姜) if vomiting occurs.
[Note] Formulated by Tao Hua, this decoction replaces Gegen Tang (Kudzu Decoction). It is suitable for mild cases of concurrent involvement of the Taiyang, Yangming, and Shaoyang meridians in the four seasons. Modifications include removing Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo, 羌活) if there are no Taiyang symptoms, and removing Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu, 柴胡) if there are no Shaoyang symptoms. It contains Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu, 柴胡), Puerariae Lobatae Radix (Gegen, 葛根), Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo, 羌活), Angelicae Dahuricae Radix (Baizhi, 白芷), Platycodonis Radix (Jiegeng, 桔梗), Paeoniae Radix Rubra (Chishao, 赤芍), Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏), Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin, 黄芩), and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草). Reducing Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏) during diarrhea avoids damaging interior Qi. Adding Pinelliae Rhizoma (Banxia, 半夏) and Zingiberis Recens Rhizoma (Shengjiang, 生姜) during vomiting directs rebellious Qi downward.
Huanglian Jiedu Tang (Coptis Detoxification Decoction), Zhizi Jinhua Tang (Gardenia Golden Flower Decoction), and Sanhuang Shigao Tang (Three Yellows and Gypsum Decoction):
Yang poison with extreme heat presenting with rashes, spots, and vomiting; irritability, thirst, groaning, delirium, and mania; persistent high fever despite soft stools after purging—use Huanglian Jiedu Tang (Coptis Detoxification Decoction), consisting of Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian, 黄连), Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin, 黄芩), Phellodendri Cortex (Huangbo, 黄柏), and Gardeniae Fructus (Zhizi, 栀子). If interior excess with hard stool requires purging, add Rheum Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang, 大黄), naming it Zhizi Jinhua Tang (Gardenia Golden Flower Decoction). If exterior excess with no sweat requires sweating, add Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏), Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄), Fermented Soybean (Douchi, 淡豆豉), and Allii Fistulosi Bulbus (Congbai, 葱白), naming it Sanhuang Shigao Tang (Three Yellows and Gypsum Decoction). If diarrhea occurs, remove Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏) and add Puerariae Lobatae Radix (Gegen, 葛根) to avoid injuring interior deficiency.
[Note] For conditions like Yang poison with extreme heat, or persistent high fever with soft stools after purging, Huanglian Jiedu Tang (Coptis Detoxification Decoction) is appropriate, comprising Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian, 黄连), Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin, 黄芩), Phellodendri Cortex (Huangbo, 黄柏), and Gardeniae Fructus (Zhizi, 栀子). For interior excess requiring purging, add Rheum Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang, 大黄) to create Zhizi Jinhua Tang (Gardenia Golden Flower Decoction). For exterior excess requiring sweating, add Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏), Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄), Fermented Soybean (Douchi, 淡豆豉), and Allii Fistulosi Bulbus (Congbai, 葱白) to create Sanhuang Shigao Tang (Three Yellows and Gypsum Decoction). For diarrhea, remove Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏) and add Puerariae Lobatae Radix (Gegen, 葛根) to protect interior integrity.
