Not understood. Speaking from the general trend, it does not refer only to the exterior syndrome. Heat in both the interior and exterior indicates that both wind-cold pathogens are present. Occasional aversion to wind indicates that the exterior pathogen has not been eliminated. Due to dryness of the tongue, vexation, and severe heat in both the interior and exterior, Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) is used. Because of extreme thirst with a desire to drink water, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen, 人参) is added. The formula is seen in the preceding text.
(34) After five or six days of Shanghan (Cold Damage), symptoms include sweating on the head, slight aversion to cold, cold hands and feet, fullness and oppression in the epigastrium, lack of desire to eat, hard stools, and a fine pulse. This is called Yang Wei Jie (mild yang constraint). There must be both an exterior and an interior component. A deep pulse also belongs to the interior category. Sweating occurs due to mild yang deficiency (constraint). If it were pure Yin Jie (Yin constraint), there would be no exterior signs remaining; all symptoms would have entered the interior. This condition is half in the interior and half in the exterior. Although the pulse may be deep and tight, it cannot be diagnosed as Shaoyin disease (Disease of the Lesser Yang). The reason is that Yin syndromes should not present with sweating; since there is sweating on the head, we know it is not Shaoyin disease. Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) may be administered. If the patient still feels unwell after taking the medicine, relief will come with defecation.
The sweating on the head, slight aversion to cold, and cold hands and feet describe the exterior aspect. The epigastric fullness, lack of desire to eat, and hard stools describe the interior aspect. Yang Wei Jie refers to qi stagnation caused by the decline and mildness of yang qi; one cannot blame the pathology entirely on yin. A deep pulse also indicates the interior, meaning that not only a fine pulse signifies the interior, but also that exterior and interior signs coexist. Sweating indicates mild yang; here it is described as half in the interior and half in the exterior. This section elaborates on the previous text. From "Although the pulse is deep and tight" to "thus we know it is not Shaoyin," this part explains that the presence of yang can be distinguished solely by sweating on the head; otherwise, the remaining symptoms resemble Shaoyin disease. This warns practitioners to be meticulous. The main idea is similar to Article 2. In Article 2, because the injury occurred at the beginning, the pulse was such, and Da Qing Long Tang (Major Green Dragon Decoction) was used to induce sweating. In this case, because five or six days have passed and the syndrome belongs to half-exterior/half-interior, and the pulse is as described, Xiao Chai Hu Tang is used for harmonization. Finally, if harmonization does not cure the condition, one should consider gastric excess (dry fecal impaction) and treat accordingly; hence, it says relief comes with defecation.
(35) In Shanghan, with heat in the chest and pathogenic factors in the stomach, accompanied by abdominal pain and a desire to vomit, Huang Lian Tang (Coptis Decoction) is the primary treatment.
Huang Lian Tang Formula
Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian, 黄连) - 3 liang
Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle (Zhigancao, 甘草) - 3 liang, honey-fried
Zingiberis Rhizoma (Ganjiang, 干姜) - 3 liang
Panacis Ginseng Radix (Renshen, 人参) - 2 liang
Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guizhi, 桂枝) - 3 liang, bark removed
Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum (Banxia, 半夏) - half sheng, washed
Jujubae Fructus (Dazao, 大枣) - 12 pieces, split open
Take these seven ingredients, add ten dou of water, decoct to obtain six sheng. Remove the dregs. Take one sheng warm, three times a day, and twice at night.
The chest belongs to the Upper Jiao (Upper Burner). Heat, attributed to wind, is yang. This means yang-heat is congested in the Upper Jiao. The stomach belongs to the Middle Jiao. Pathogenic factors, attributed to cold, are yin. This means yin-cold is depressed in the Middle Jiao. Abdominal pain results from yin-cold condensation causing obstruction. The desire to vomit results from heat congestion reversing upward. Since heat congests the Upper Jiao, Coptis clears it; however, without Cinnamon Twig, the exterior cannot be resolved. Since cold depresses the Middle Jiao, Ginseng regulates it; however, without Dried Ginger, the cold cannot be dispersed. Licorice and Jujube tonify the stomach and harmonize the middle. Pinellia is acrid and warm, widening the chest and stopping vomiting.
(36) In Shanghan with fever and fullness in the lower abdomen, urination should be difficult. Now that urination is actually free, this indicates blood stasis. It should be purged; do not use other medicines. Di Dang Wan (Di Dang Pill) is appropriate.
Di Dang Wan Formula
Leech (Shuizhi, 水蛭) - 20 specimens, processed
Male Blowfly (Menchong, 虻虫) - 25 specimens, processed, wings removed
Peach Kernel (Taoren, 桃仁) - 20 specimens, skin and tips removed
Rhei Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang, 大黄) - 3 liang
Grind these four ingredients into powder and divide into four pills. Boil one pill in one sheng of water until reduced to seven ge. Take the liquid. Blood should pass at this time. If it does not pass, take another dose.
"Should" is pronounced with the level tone. This corresponds to the last three articles of the second section above. Because both wind and cold pathogens are present, it is more difficult to understand than the earlier sections. Therefore, the formula from the upper section is used, but changed from decoction to pill. However, although named a pill, it is still boiled like a decoction. Decoctions act vigorously; pills act mildly. Changing from decoction to pill while still boiling it implies an intention to be mild yet vigorous, not vigorously purging yet possessing purging power. Furthermore, "do not use other medicines" means that even using the decoction form as in the upper section might not be perfectly targeted; one must proceed this way. This is also a unique preparation method. Is it like the Eight Formations of military strategy? The Eight Formations belong to Zhuge Liang's military tactics. Transforming orthodoxy into surprise, and using surprise as orthodoxy, suggests that medicine and warfare share the same principle of adaptability. "Shi" refers to a cycle of time.
(37) Six or seven days after contracting the disease, with a slow, floating, and weak pulse, aversion to wind and cold, and warm hands and feet, if the physician repeatedly uses purgatives, leading to inability to eat, fullness and pain in the hypochondrium, yellowing of the face, eyes, and body, stiff neck, and difficulty urinating: administering Chai Hu Tang (Bupleurum Decoction) will likely result in a sensation of heaviness in the rectum later. If the patient was originally thirsty but vomits upon drinking water, Chai Hu Tang is contraindicated. If belching occurs after eating food, [Chai Hu Tang is also unsuitable].
Six or seven days mark the completion of the meridian cycle. A slow, floating, and weak pulse indicates wind-cold entering the interior while the exterior remains unresolved, hence the continued aversion to wind and cold. Warm hands and feet indicate the pathogen has partially entered the interior, but purgatives are not yet indicated. Inability to eat results from internal injury due to erroneous purgation. Fullness and pain in the hypochondrium indicate pathogenic factors congesting the Shaoyang (Lesser Yang) channel. Yellowing of the face, eyes, and body indicates spleen earth being attacked by liver wood, causing color to manifest externally. Stiff neck indicates Taiyang (Greater Yang) and Yangming (Yang Brightness) syndromes persist. Difficulty urinating indicates loss of body fluids. Regarding the bowels mentioned later, rectal heaviness occurs because Chai Hu Tang is cold-natured; the interior yin is already deficient, leading to qi stagnation. Original thirst with vomiting upon drinking water constitutes Water Reversal (Shui Ni). Chai Hu Tang is contraindicated because the vomiting is due to water reversal, not a Shaoyang syndrome. Belching after eating indicates that overeating would also cause belching, clarifying the previous text that vomiting is not suitable for Chai Hu Tang. The final part suspects textual omission.
(38) After thirteen days of Shanghan without resolution, if delirium occurs after passing through the meridian stages, it is due to heat. One should use a decoction to purge. If urine is clear and copious, the stool should be hard; yet diarrhea occurs, and the pulse is harmonious. We know the physician used a pill-based purgative, which was incorrect treatment. If there were natural diarrhea, the pulse should be faint or extremities cold; now that the pulse is harmonious, this indicates internal excess. Tiao Wei Cheng Qi Tang (Regulate the Stomach and Order the Qi Decoction) is the primary treatment.
Heat refers to wind. This means laypeople believe that Shanghan failing to resolve after passing through the meridian stages is caused by incompetent physicians failing to recognize concurrent wind and making treatment errors. From "If there is natural diarrhea" to the end, the text deduces the cause of the error and proposes a remedy for the mistake. "Fan he" (pulse becomes harmonious) is explained by the absence of cold extremities, not implying a normal pulse. The formula is seen in the preceding text.
