热无休止。曰发热。风寒客于太阳。有即发热者。有至一二日。始发热者。然必兼恶风恶寒。头痛身疼等症。
方为太阳发热。宜汗之。类方注云。太阳发热。寒时亦热。热时亦寒也。金鉴云。翕翕表热。蒸蒸里热。
俱有自汗症。表热自汗。宜桂枝解肌。里热自汗。宜凉膈承气。不可误治。当审其尿之白赤。舌之润燥为别。
愚按∶表热自汗。畏风恶寒。里热自汗。则不恶风寒。尤当认别。
邵评∶辨表热里热。分汗清下三法为治。
此风寒客于营卫。非比寒热之恶寒。虽身大热。亦恶寒也。发热无汗恶寒为表实。
宜麻黄汤。发热有汗恶寒为表虚。宜桂枝汤。
邵评∶以有汗无汗。辨表虚表实。
金鉴云。发热恶寒。发于阳。表也。有汗桂枝。无汗麻黄。无热恶寒。发于阴。里也。有汗
桂枝加附子汤。无汗宜麻黄附子细辛汤。

头痛虽属三阳。惟太阳独多。故头痛专主表。太阳头痛。必兼恶寒发热。表解自除。
阳明头痛。在额前目鼻等处。无汗为表症。宜葛根汤加白芷、葱白等汗之。若自汗。

Fever without cessation is termed "fever" (Fe Re). When Wind-Cold pathogens invade the Taiyang channel, fever may appear immediately or after one to two days. However, it must be accompanied by symptoms such as aversion to wind, aversion to cold, headache, and body ache. Only then is it considered Taiyang fever, which should be treated with diaphoresis (Han Zhi - inducing sweating). *Lei Fang Zhu* states: In Taiyang fever, there is heat during chills and chills during heat. *Yi Zong Jin Jian* states: "Xi Xi" (fluffy-like) exterior heat and "Zheng Zheng" (steaming-like) interior heat both present with spontaneous sweating (Zi Han). For exterior heat with spontaneous sweating, Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) should be used to resolve the muscle layer; for interior heat with spontaneous sweating, Liangge San (Cooling the Diaphragm Powder) or Chengqi Tang (Order the Qi Decoction) should be used to clear heat and purge accumulation. Misdiagnosis must be avoided. Differentiation should be made by observing whether urine is white or red and whether the tongue coating is moist or dry.
My commentary: Exterior heat with spontaneous sweating is accompanied by fear of wind and aversion to cold. Interior heat with spontaneous sweating is not accompanied by aversion to wind or cold. This distinction requires careful recognition.
Shao's Commentary: Differentiating between exterior heat and interior heat dictates the use of three treatment methods: diaphoresis, clearing heat, and purging.
This refers to Wind-Cold pathogens lodging in Ying (Nutrient) and Wei (Defensive) levels. It differs from the aversion to cold seen in alternating chills and fever. Even if the body is very hot, there is still aversion to cold. Fever with no sweat and aversion to cold indicates an Exterior Excess pattern, treated with Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction). Fever with sweat and aversion to cold indicates an Exterior Deficiency pattern, treated with Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction).
Shao's Commentary: Differentiating between presence and absence of sweat distinguishes between Exterior Deficiency and Exterior Excess.
*Yi Zong Jin Jian* states: Fever with aversion to cold indicates onset on Yang, located in the exterior. With sweat, use Guizhi Tang; without sweat, use Mahuang Tang. Absence of fever with aversion to cold indicates onset on Yin, located in the interior. With sweat, use Guizhi Jia Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction plus Aconite); without sweat, use Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Tang (Ephedra, Aconite, and Asarum Decoction).
Shao's Commentary: Differentiating between presence and absence of fever distinguishes between onset on Yin and onset on Yang.
Wind pathogen damaging Wei Qi results in aversion to wind. Both are exterior patterns, but aversion to wind is milder than aversion to cold.
Although headache involves the Three Yang channels, it is most common in the Taiyang channel. Therefore, headache primarily indicates an exterior pattern. Taiyang headache must be accompanied by aversion to cold and fever; once the exterior is resolved, the headache disappears. Yangming headache occurs in the forehead, eyes, and nose. Absence of sweat indicates an exterior pattern, treated with Gegen Tang (Kudzu Decoction) plus Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix) and Congbai (Allii Fistulosi Bulbus) to induce sweating. If there is spontaneous sweating, no aversion to cold, but rather aversion to heat, solid stool, and red urine, it should be treated as a Yangming interior pattern using Chengqi Tang (Order the Qi Decoction). Shaoyang headache occurs at the temples and ear roots, characterized by a wiry and rapid pulse and bitter taste in the mouth. Use Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction), removing Renshen (Ginseng Radix), and adding Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma). If phlegm is present, add Gualou (Trichosanthis Fructus).
