琥按成注云。酸苦涌泄。栀子之苦以涌虚烦。浓朴枳实之苦以泄腹满。以吐中即具发泄之义故耳。
琥又按成注以腹满为里实证。盖上吐下泄。乃医家泻实满之法也。故用浓朴枳实于大黄中则其满从下而泄。用浓朴
枳实于栀子中。则其满即从上而涌也。要之上药。亦非吐剂或于服汤后。探之使吐可耳。
内台方议云。下后但腹满而不心烦。即邪气入里。若心烦而不腹满。即邪气在胸中。属栀子豉汤。今既烦而且腹满。
乃邪气在胸腹之间也。烦则不能卧。满则不能坐。故卧起皆不安。故用栀子为君。以吐其烦。浓朴为臣。枳实为佐使。
二者之苦以泻腹满也。按上议。实本成注之义。

仲景立此汤。本吐烦之剂方中用干姜者。因医以丸药大下之后。其人必中气受伤。专赖干姜之辛温。以扶助中气。谓虽

Zhi Zi (Gardeniae Fructus, 14 pods, broken open) Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, 4 liang, processed with ginger juice) Zhi Shi (Immature Bitter Orange, 4 pieces, pith removed and stir-fried)
The above three herbs. Boil in 3.5 sheng of water. Decoct to obtain 1.5 sheng. Remove the dregs. Divide into two doses. Take one dose warm. If vomiting occurs after taking the medicine, stop subsequent doses.
Hu notes: Cheng Wuji's commentary states: "Sour and bitter induce vomiting and purging." The bitterness of Zhi Zi induces vomiting for deficiency vexation, while the bitterness of Hou Po and Zhi Shi purges abdominal fullness. This is because the act of vomiting inherently contains the meaning of venting and releasing.
Hu further notes: Cheng Wuji regards abdominal fullness as a interior excess syndrome. Generally, upper vomiting and lower purging are methods used by physicians to drain excess fullness. Therefore, when Hou Po and Zhi Shi are used with Da Huang, the fullness is drained from below; when used with Zhi Zi, the fullness is induced to vomit from above. In short, the aforementioned medicines are not specific emetics; perhaps vomiting can be induced by probing the throat after taking the decoction.
*Nei Tai Fang Yi* states: After purgation, if there is only abdominal fullness without mental vexation, the pathogenic factor has entered the interior. If there is only mental vexation without abdominal fullness, the pathogenic factor is in the chest, belonging to the Zhi Zi Chi Tang syndrome. Now, since there is both vexation and abdominal fullness, the pathogenic factor is between the chest and abdomen. Vexation prevents lying down, and fullness prevents sitting, so both lying and sitting are uncomfortable. Therefore, Zhi Zi is used as the sovereign herb to induce vomiting for vexation; Hou Po as the minister herb, and Zhi Shi as the assistant envoy herb. The bitterness of these two herbs purges abdominal fullness. According to the above discussion, this actually originates from Cheng Wuji's commentary.
In Shanghan (Cold Damage), if a physician mistakenly uses pill-based purgatives vigorously, resulting in persistent body heat and slight mental vexation, Zhi Zi Gan Jiang Tang (Gardenia and Dried Ginger Decoction) should be administered. (In Taiyang Cold Damage, the physician mistakenly used vigorous pill purgatives, merely injuring the Middle Qi, leaving the pathogenic heat unremoved, hence the persistent body heat. The pathogenic factor takes advantage of the deficiency to lodge in the chest, causing slight vexation. Administer Zhi Zi Gan Jiang Tang to induce vomiting, thereby dispersing the pathogenic heat and supporting the Middle Qi.)
Zhi Zi (Gardeniae Fructus, 14 pods, broken open) Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, 2 liang, sliced)
The above two herbs. Boil in 3.5 sheng of water. Decoct to obtain 1.5 sheng. Remove the dregs. Divide into two doses. Take one dose warm. If vomiting occurs after taking the medicine, stop subsequent doses.
Hu notes: Cheng Wuji's commentary states: "Bitterness induces vomiting." The bitterness of Zhi Zi induces vomiting for vexation; "Pungency moistens." The pungency of Gan Jiang benefits Qi. Pungency naturally disperses; its ability to benefit Qi stems from the warming nature of ginger's Qi.
Zhong Jing established this decoction primarily as an agent to induce vomiting for vexation. The reason for including Gan Jiang is that after the physician's vigorous purgation with pills, the patient's Middle Qi must have been injured. It relies specifically on the pungent-warming nature of Gan Jiang to support the Middle Qi, stating that although vomiting occurs, it will not harm the Stomach. Thus, *Wai Tai Mi Yao* commentary says that Gan Jiang has the power of a minister or assistant in stabilizing the upright Qi of the Middle Jiao, which is the meaning here.
Whenever using Zhi Zi Tang, patients who habitually have loose stools should not take it. (This refers generally to the previous formulas containing Zhi Zi. Zhi Zi is too bitter and cold. If a patient has habitual deficiency-cold of the intestines and stomach with slightly loose stools, it should not be taken. Misuse may fail to induce vomiting and instead cause downward purging, causing great harm. Physicians, how can they not take this as a warning? Cheng Wuji cites the *Neijing*: "If diarrhea precedes other diseases, treat the root first," implying regulation before treating other conditions. Moreover, Zhong Jing uses Zhi Zi Tang mainly after mistaken purgation for unresolved heat-vexation in the chest. If a patient has habitual loose stools and suffers mistaken purgation for Shanghan, I fear the chest vexation may not solely be due to constrained heat, hence the instruction not to use Zhi Zi Tang. Later commentaries ask: "Bencao does not list Zhi Zi as an emetic; why does Zhong Jing use it for purging/vomiting?" The answer is: "Zhi Zi is not inherently an emetic. Here, due to chest vexation with pathogenic factors high in the upper jiao refusing to accept intake, boiling the decoction and administering it causes natural vomiting, allowing the pathogen to exit. The *Neijing* commentary states: 'Because the pathogen is originally high, using medication to elevate it is very easy.' Thus, must all emetics be Gua Di San (Melon Seed Powder)?)"
In Taiyang disease, if sweating fails to resolve the condition, and the patient still has fever, palpitations in the epigastrium, dizziness, body tremors, and a sensation of shaking as if about to fall to the ground, Zhen Wu Tang (True Warrior Decoction) should be administered. (Although this clause involves Taiyang disease, forced sweating leading to Yang depletion results in interior deficiency, constituting a true cold-Yin syndrome. The main text, commentary, and formula are found in the *Zhong Han Lun* [Treatise on Cold Injury].)
Those with dry throat should not be sweated. (The following clauses all state contraindications for sweating. *Shang Lun Pian* places them after Ma Huang Tang, which has merit, but here we follow the old example for explanation without alteration. This follows up on the errors of previous sweating, vomiting, and purging, explaining that there are many situations where sweating is contraindicated, which physicians must know. For instance, those with dry throat: Cheng Wuji notes, "Deficiency of body fluids." Sweating would severely deplete fluids further, hence it is contraindicated. Later commentaries state: "Physicians intending to use sweating methods must consider the fluids of the Upper Jiao.")
Patients with Lin syndrome (strangury) should not be sweated; sweating will inevitably lead to hematuria. (Lin syndrome involves heat in the Bladder with failed Qi transformation, causing dribbling urination. Patients with Lin have depleted fluids; further sweating exhausts the Water House, forcing blood out through the urine. Later commentaries state: "Physicians intending to use sweating methods must consider the fluids of the Lower Jiao.")
Patients with sores/ulcers (Chuang Jia) should not be sweated even if they have body pain; sweating will lead to spasms (Jing). (Cheng Wuji notes: "Exterior deficiency with accumulated heat generates sores." Even if Chuang Jia presents with body pain resembling Shanghan, sweating is contraindicated. Sweating worsens exterior deficiency and heat, drying fluids and failing to nourish sinews, leading to spasms. Later commentaries state: "Physicians intending to use sweating methods must consider the fluids of the whole body.")
Patients with frequent nosebleeds (Xu Jia) should not be sweated; sweating will cause depression of the forehead, tight and rapid pulse, fixed gaze unable to blink, and insomnia. (Sweat is blood. Those with nosebleeds have damaged clear pathways and Yang meridians. Further sweating severely damages Yang and Yin, causing forehead depression (sign of Upper Jiao fluid exhaustion). Tight pulse relates to eyes, as vessels connect to the eyes; without blood nourishment, sinews tighten, preventing eye movement (blinking). Insomnia occurs because Wei Qi cannot enter Yin at night without Ying Blood as its host, remaining stuck in Yang. Cheng Wuji attributes this to Yin deficiency. Later commentaries state: "Physicians intending to use sweating methods must consider the Ying Blood of Yang meridians.")
Patients with blood loss (Wang Xue Jia) should not be sweated; sweating will cause chills and trembling. (Blood belongs to Yin; blood loss is Yin loss. Without Yin, Yang has no attachment. Sweating causes Yang to escape externally, leading to chills and trembling. Cheng Wuji describes this as simultaneous deficiency of Yin and Yang. Later commentaries state: "Physicians intending to use sweating methods must consider the Ying Blood of Yin meridians.")
Patients prone to sweating (Han Jia) should not be sweated again; doing so causes mental confusion and post-urination genital pain. Treat with Yu Yu Liang Wan. (Formula missing. Heart governs blood; sweat is the fluid of the Heart. Habitual sweaters have Heart-blood deficiency. Re-sweating causes Heart-fluid loss and floating Spirit, leading to confusion. Post-urination genital pain occurs because the Small Intestine is the Fu organ of the Heart; Heart deficiency leads to depletion of Fu fluids. Later commentaries state: "Physicians intending to use sweating methods must consider the density of exterior Qi and the strength of Ying chambers." Zhong Jing's method uses Yu Yu Liang Wan, generally a formula for nourishing blood and stabilizing. The original formula is lost. *Bu Wang Lun* Chang Qizi suggests single herb Yu Yu Liang powder. Guo Baiyun suggests using Yu Yu Liang stone, not shell. I doubt this fully matches Zhong Jing's intent. Regarding treatments for previous clauses in *Bu Wang Lun*: For dry throat, Chang Qizi suggests Xiao Chai Hu Tang (disputed); Shi Wan suggests Xiao Jian Zhong Tang (plausible). For Lin, Chang suggests Zhu Ling Tang (too draining for post-sweat hematuria); Shi Wan suggests Huang Qi Jian Zhong Tang (better for sores). For sores, Chang suggests Gui Zhi Jia Ge Gen Tang for spasms; Wang Ri Xiu suggests Xiao Jian Zhong Tang plus Dang Gui (superior). For Xu Jia, Chang suggests Xi Jiao Di Huang Tang (standard); Xu Shu Wei suggests Huang Qi Jian Zhong Tang plus Xi Jiao (for Yangming heat); Lu Cang Zhou suggests Xiao Jian Zhong Tang plus Cong Chi. For Wang Xue Jia, Chang suggests Shao Yao Di Huang Tang (suitable for Yin-deficiency heat); Shi Wan suggests Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang plus Dang Gui for trembling. Cheng Wuji notes simultaneous Yin-Yang deficiency; I consider both formulas suitable for post-sweat Wang Xue Jia.)
Patients with cold who are sweated again develop cold Stomach and regurgitate roundworms. (This is a true cold syndrome; text and commentary are in *Zhong Han Lun*.)
Originally indicated for sweating but treated with purging is contrary. If sweating is done first, treatment is not contrary. Originally indicated for purging but treated with sweating is contrary. If purging is done first, treatment is not contrary. (Cheng Wuji notes: Exterior diseases suit sweating, not purging; interior diseases suit purging, not sweating. Generally, urgent exterior cases require sweating; urgent interior cases require purging. One should not rigidly adhere to sweating before purging. Proper application of sweating and purging is not contrary.)
In Shanghan, if a physician purges and diarrhea with undigested food persists, accompanied by body pain, urgently rescue the interior. Later, if body pain persists but bowel/bladder function normalizes, urgently rescue the exterior. Rescue interior with Si Ni Tang; rescue exterior with Gui Zhi Tang. (This clause involves Taiyang Shanghan mistakenly purged, causing persistent diarrhea with undigested food. Despite body pain, interior warmth is urgent. Gui Zhi Tang is used for exterior rescue because the patient's Stomach Qi was originally strong and unaffected by the mistaken purgation. Text and commentary are in *Zhong Han Lun*.)
Fever, headache, with reverse deep pulse: if unrelieved and body pain persists, rescue the interior with Si Ni Tang. (This is a Zhong Han (Cold Strike) case. Fever and headache result from Cold striking Shaoyin, entering directly from Taiyang. Deep pulse and body pain indicate Yin-Cold penetrating from interior to exterior. Definitely Zhong Han. Text and commentary are in *Zhong Han Lun*.)
Taiyang disease, initially purged without resolution, then sweated, resulting in simultaneous exterior-interior deficiency. The patient experiences Mao (vertigo/dizziness). Mao resolves spontaneously with sweating. This is because sweating harmonizes the exterior. Only after interior harmony is achieved should purging be reconsidered. ("Mao" means covered, like something covering the head/eyes due to constrained Cold. Initial purging followed by sweating is contradictory, weakening exterior-interior Qi and trapping pathogens. *Jin Gui Yao Lue* states: "Mao resolves with heavy sweating," implying spontaneous recovery via medication-induced sweating harmonizing exterior Qi. Once exterior is harmonized, purging is unnecessary. Thus, for dual deficiency, physicians hesitate to use sweating/purging. Zhong Jing provides no formula here. *Bu Wang Lun* Chang Qizi suggests Xiao Chai Hu Tang for harmonizing exterior (disputed as inappropriate for Taiyang); I suggest Gui Zhi Tang or Xiao/Jian Zhong Tang. For purging, Chang suggests Tiao Wei Cheng Qi Tang (unsuitable for interior deficiency); I suggest Gui Zhi Jia Da Huang Tang. Commentators interpreting "interior" as bowel/bladder movements are incorrect. *Shang Lun Pian* suggests Da Chai Hu Tang or Wu Ling San for purging interior, which is erroneous. "Purging" here specifically refers to bowels, not diuresis.)
Taiyang disease unresolved, pulse Yin and Yang both pause/still: first chills and tremors, then sweating resolves it. If only Yang pulse is micro, sweating resolves it. If only Yin pulse is micro, purging resolves it. If purging is desired, Tiao Wei Cheng Qi Tang should be administered. (Unresolved Taiyang implies pathogen moves from exterior to interior. Pulse diagnosis distinguishes location. *Mai Jing*: Cun is Yang (above Guan), Chi is Yin (below Guan). Peaceful pulses at all three positions indicate "Yin Yang Ju Ting," signifying returning upright Qi and departing pathogen. However, chills/tremors precede sweating due to prolonged illness and Qi deficiency fighting pathogens. Micro Yang pulse indicates exterior pathogen excess, requiring sweating. Micro Yin pulse indicates interior pathogen excess, requiring purging. Since pathogen entered the Fu organ with constrained Stomach heat, Tiao Wei Cheng Qi Tang is suggested. Cheng Wuji's interpretation of "Yang deficiency/Yin excess" is obscure. *Shang Lun Pian* interprets micro pulse as post-illness deficiency vs. initial excess. "Most deficient place harbors pathogen." Micro Yang allows pathogen to attack Yang (sweat resolves); Micro Yin allows pathogen to attack Yin (purge resolves). This clarifies Cheng's view. However, if pulse is truly micro, purging with Cheng Qi Tang is illogical. "Micro" here likely means constrained/narrow vessel due to pathogen stagnation, not weakness. Pathogen in channels constrains exterior Qi (Yang micro); pathogen in Fu organs obstructs interior Qi (Yin micro). *Qian Jin* suggests Gui Zhi Tang for sweating. Formula reference: Vol 6 Yangming chapter.)
(Repeated Clause) Taiyang disease with fever and sweating indicates weak Ying and strong Wei, causing sweating. To rescue from pathogenic wind, Gui Zhi Tang is appropriate. (Text and commentary see Gui Zhi Tang section above.)
(Attached Clause) Shanghan five to six days, Windstroke, alternating chills and heat, bitter fullness in chest/hypochondrium... slight body heat or cough: Xiao Chai Hu Tang is appropriate. (This clause involves Wind-Cold at half-exterior half-interior, a Shaoyang syndrome, incorrectly placed in Taiyang chapter. Text and commentary included.)
Xiao Chai Hu Tang formula and modifications (See Vol 7 Shaoyang chapter).
Weak blood and exhausted Qi, interstices open, pathogen enters... causes vomiting. Xiao Chai Hu Tang is appropriate.
After taking Chai Hu Tang, thirst indicates Yangming syndrome; treat accordingly. Disease for six to seven days, slow floating weak pulse... Chai Hu Tang is not suitable. Vomiting upon eating.
Shanghan four to five days, body heat, aversion to wind, stiff neck, hypochondriac fullness, warm hands/feet, thirst: Xiao Chai Hu Tang is appropriate. Shanghan, Yang pulse choppy, Yin pulse string-taut, law dictates acute abdominal pain: First give Xiao Jian Zhong Tang. If unrelieved, give Xiao Chai Hu Tang.
(The above five clauses are in the Shaoyang chapter. Xiao Jian Zhong Tang formula is under Clause 3 below.)
In Shanghan or Windstroke, if Chai Hu syndrome exists, seeing one symptom suffices; complete presentation is not required. If Chai Hu syndrome is treated with purging, and Chai Hu symptoms persist, re-administer Chai Hu Tang. There will be steaming chills and tremors, followed by fever, sweating, and resolution.
(The above two clauses are in the Shaoyang chapter.)
Shanghan two to three days, palpitations and vexation in the heart: Xiao Jian Zhong Tang is appropriate. (At two to three days, pathogen should transmit to interior. With no other symptoms, only heart palpitations and vexation, external pathogen is mild/non-transmitting, while upright Qi suddenly defies self-support. Interior Yang deficiency causes palpitations; interior Yin deficiency causes vexation. Xiao Jian Zhong Tang builds interior Qi. I believe this condition arises post-sweating in Taiyang Shanghan; thus Jian Zhong Tang is a slight modification of Gui Zhi Tang.)
