[General Principle] Zhang Zhongjing said: In the first day of Shanghan (Cold Damage), the Taiyang channel is affected. If the pulse remains quiet (indicating no change or agitation), it means the pathogen has not transmitted. If the patient frequently desires to vomit, or presents with restlessness and irritability, along with a rapid and hurried pulse, it indicates that the disease has transmitted.
[Detailed Commentary] Pang Anchang stated: The symptom of "frequently desiring to vomit" appearing on the first day of cold invasion is the precursor mechanism for future vomiting and hiccups; the pathological basis is already latent here.
[General Principle] Zhang Zhongjing said: In Shaoyin syndrome, if food and drink are vomited immediately upon entering the mouth, and there is a warm discomfort in the heart region with a desire to vomit but inability to do so, accompanied by cold hands and feet at the onset, and a string-taut (Xian) and slow (Chi) pulse, this indicates excess pathogenic factors in the chest. Purging (downward draining) is contraindicated; instead, emesis (inducing vomiting) should be used. However, if there is cold fluid retention above the diaphragm causing dry heaving, emesis is contraindicated; warming methods should be employed, preferably using Sini Tang (Four Reversal Decoction).
[Detailed Commentary] Han Zhihe stated: This originates from a disease of the Shaoyin Kidney. However, the mention of a "string-taut" pulse carries characteristics of the Shaoyang channel. The term "excess in the chest" relates to the Yangming area. Since excess implies retained food stagnation, treatment cannot solely follow Shaoyin warming methods nor Yangming purging methods, but rather should utilize emesis.
Zhu Gong stated: For patients who have undergone sweating or purging therapies, presenting with a slow Guan pulse and vomiting due to deficiency-cold in the stomach, Ganjiang Huangqin Huanglian Renshen Tang (Ginger, Coptis, Pinellia, and Ginseng Decoction) is indicated. For those with excessive cold, no desire for water, and vomiting, Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) with Bai Zhu removed and Sheng Jiang added is suitable. For cases with vomiting, diarrhea, cold extremities, and severe restlessness, Wuzhuyu Tang (Evodia Decoction) is used. For post-Shanghan recovery presenting with emaciation, shortness of breath, and rebellious Qi causing a desire to vomit, Zhuye Shigao Tang (Bamboo Leaf and Gypsum Decoction) is appropriate.
[General Principle] Zhang Zhongjing said: In Yangming Wind-Strike, the pulse is string-taut, floating, and large, accompanied by shortness of breath, abdominal fullness, pain in the hypochondrium and heart region, obstruction of Qi upon prolonged pressure, dry nose without sweat, lethargy, jaundice affecting the whole body and face, difficulty in urination, tidal fever, frequent hiccups, and swelling around the ears. After acupuncture provides slight relief, if the exterior syndrome remains unresolved and the disease persists beyond ten days, with a string-taut and floating pulse, Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) should be given. If the pulse is merely floating without other symptoms, Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) is indicated. If there is anuria, abdominal fullness, and hiccups, the condition is incurable.
[Detailed Commentary] Zhu Gong stated: Coughing reversal (Ke Ni) in Shanghan is a very ominous symptom, yet it is not recorded in Zhang Zhongjing's classic. Sun Simiao noted that searching through medical texts reveals no such name. Investigating its manifestation, "Ke Ni" refers to Hui Ni (hiccups/rebellious Qi); essentially, ancients referred to hiccups as Ke Ni. The character "Luo" (referring to dry heaving in context) corresponds to modern "dry heaving." The *Qingbi Zhongzang Jing* treats Shanghan Ke Ni with Dingxiang San (Clove Powder): Clove and Persimmon Calyx each 1 fen, Licorice and Galangal each 0.5 qian, brewed in boiling water as one dose, taken hot while drinking vigorously, which is highly effective.
The *San Yin Fang* includes Zhuru Tang and Dingxiang San. Zhuru Tang treats Yang syndromes. The *Ben Shi Fang* treats post-Shanghan Ke Ni with Doukou Tang for Yin syndromes, using herbs like Clove, Fennel, and Nutmeg. These are contraindicated for Yang syndromes. Generally, Ke Ni often follows fever and consumption of cold/raw foods or cooling medicines, caused by mutual agitation of Yin and Yang Qi.
Cheng Wuji stated: Yi (belching) involves Qi stagnation in the chest and throat without sound. Hui (hiccups) produces audible sounds. Both are gastric disorders differing only in severity. Yi results from the struggle between deficiency-cold and water intake after profuse sweating; it indicates weak Stomach Qi. Hui occurs after severe Shanghan purging/vomiting leading to extreme weakness, followed by sweating and re-administration of water to induce sweat, causing external Qi oppression and subsequent hiccups. Thus, both are gastric issues. Yi due to water-cold struggle may use Xiao Qinglong Tang minus Mahuang plus Fuzi. Hui due to heat stagnation requires different approaches: mild cases use harmonization (e.g., Xiaochaihu Tang for tidal fever and hiccups); severe cases with abdominal fullness require purging based on urinary or fecal obstruction. This indicates critical illness, unlike mild thirst or irritability.
Shen Jin'ao commented: Frequent hiccups indicate internal unresolved pathology. Abdominal fullness with hiccups is more severe than frequent hiccups alone.
[General Principle] Zhang Zhongjing said: In Yangming disease, if the patient cannot eat, attacking the heat will inevitably cause hiccups. This is because of deficiency-cold in the Stomach. Due to the person's inherent deficiency, attacking heat leads to hiccups.
If the Stomach is deficiency-cold and unable to eat, drinking water will inevitably cause hiccups.
[Detailed Commentary] Cheng Wuji stated: From this, we know hiccups are a gastric disorder. Generally, improper purging leads to Stomach deficiency and rebellious Qi, causing hiccups.
Wei Litong stated: When Yangming disease progresses to inability to eat, even if there are false-heat signs like sweaty extremities, one must not mistake it for Stomach excess-heat and purge it. Doing so would cause further collapse of Stomach Yang and intensify Cold Evil, leading to hiccups and exhaustion of Grain Qi. Zhang Zhongjing clarifies this is due to Stomach deficiency-cold, not excess-heat. The ability to eat or not helps distinguish Stomach cold from heat. Furthermore, the ability to drink water distinguishes true deficiency-cold (where drinking causes hiccups) from other conditions. One should not use cold/purgative agents here. Even with exterior symptoms, treat the interior; despite false-heat signs, treat true cold, not false heat. This requires careful differentiation.
[General Principle] Zhang Zhongjing said: After severe Shanghan vomiting and purging, leading to extreme weakness, followed by profuse sweating, if the patient has external Qi oppression and is given water to induce sweat, hiccups result. This is due to deficiency-cold in the Stomach.
[Detailed Commentary] Cheng Wuji stated: Stomach deficiency combined with water intake leads to deficiency-cold struggle, causing hiccups. Indications include Wuzhuyu Tang, Lizhong Tang, Ju Pi Gan Jiang Tang, Ban Xia Sheng Jiang Tang, and Qiang Huo Fu Zi Tang (from *Huoren Shu*).
Tao Hua stated: Hui is severe dry heaving, characterized by loud, foul, prolonged sounds without expulsion. It is difficult to treat as it stems from original Stomach Qi deficiency, excessive sweating/purging, or water-cold struggle causing rebellious Qi. Alternatively, heat stagnation blocking upper and lower Qi flow can cause hiccups. Mild cases require harmonization and疏导 (unblocking); severe cases require warming and dispersing. Anuria, abdominal fullness with hiccups, or scattered pulses with coughing-reversal are incurable even for divine physicians.
[General Principle] Zhang Zhongjing said: In Shanghan, if hiccups are accompanied by abdominal fullness, examine the anterior (urinary) and posterior (fecal) orifices. Identify which is obstructed and unblock it to cure.
[Detailed Commentary] Wang Kentang stated: Zhang Zhongjing provided no formula. *Huoren Shu* suggests Zhuling Tang for anterior obstruction (urinary) and Tiaowei Chengqi Tang for posterior obstruction (fecal).
Shen Jin'ao commented: The previous clauses attribute hiccups to Stomach cold. This clause attributes them to Stomach heat.
