成注引内经曰。脾欲缓。急食甘以缓之。用苦泄之。浓朴之苦。以泄腹满。人参甘草之甘。以益脾胃。半夏生姜之
辛。以散滞气。内台方议云。此系汗后亡津液。脾气虚而燥涩。故作胀。所以汤中用人参之甘。以生津液补不足。炙甘
草之甘。以缓其中。宽其胀也。夫胀非苦不泄。故用浓朴。非辛不散。故用半夏生姜。条辩以蠲饮作解。殊不合仲景之

伤寒若吐。若下后。心下逆满。气上冲胸。起则头眩。脉沉紧。发汗则动经。身为振振摇者。茯苓桂枝白术甘草汤
主之。
(伤寒吐下之后。里虚气逆。心下作满。且上冲于胸膈之间。更上逆于头。起则作眩。盖里愈虚而气愈逆也。脉沉
紧者。寒邪由经而入里也。仲景法。脉浮紧者。可发汗今脉沉紧。误发其汗成注云。发汗则外动经络。损伤阳气。阳气
外虚。不能主持诸脉。身为振振然而摇动也。与此汤以和经散寒。益阳补气。)
茯苓(四两) 桂枝(三两去皮) 白术(二两) 甘草(二两炙)

琥按成注云。阳不足者补之以甘茯苓白术。生津液而益阳也。里气逆者。散之以辛桂枝甘草。行阳散气。夫桂枝

发汗病不解。反恶寒者虚故也。芍药甘草附子汤主之。(此条系真寒证。病恶寒。误发其汗。病因不解。恶寒证反甚。

Cinnamon Twig, Poria, Atractylodes Macrocephala and Licorice Decoction (Fuling Guizhi Baizhu Gancao Tang)
Poullium aromaticum (Houpo, 厚朴) (half jin, bark removed) Fresh Ginger (Shengjiang, 生姜) (half jin, sliced) Pinellia Tuber (Banxia, 半夏) (half sheng, washed) Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen, 人参) (one liang) Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) (two liang, honey-fried)
The above five herbs. Boil with ten dou of water. Reduce to three sheng of liquid. Remove the dregs. Take one sheng warm. Three times daily.
Cheng Wuji's commentary cites the *Neijing* (Inner Canon): The spleen desires relaxation; in urgency, use sweet substances to relax it. Use bitter substances to drain it. The bitterness of Poullium aromaticum drains abdominal fullness. The sweetness of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma tonifies the spleen and stomach. The pungency of Pinellia Tuber and Fresh Ginger disperses stagnant qi. The *Neitai Fangyi* discusses: This condition arises from fluid depletion after sweating, leading to spleen qi deficiency and dryness/stagnation, causing distension. Therefore, the sweetness of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma is used to generate fluids and supplement insufficiency; the sweetness of Honey-fried Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma moderates the middle jiao and relieves distension. Distension cannot be drained without bitterness, hence Poullium aromaticum is used. It cannot be dispersed without pungency, hence Pinellia Tuber and Fresh Ginger are used. The *Tiaobian* interprets this as eliminating fluid retention, which significantly deviates from Zhang Zhongjing's original intent.
In Shaoyang disease, if purging or vomiting has been performed, there is rebellious fullness below the heart, qi rushing upward to the chest, dizziness upon rising, and a deep, tight pulse. If sweating is induced, it disturbs the channels, causing the body to tremble and shake. Fuling Guizhi Baizhu Gancao Tang (Poria, Cinnamon Twig, Atractylodes Macrocephala and Licorice Decoction) is the primary treatment.
(After vomiting or purging in Shaoyang disease, interior deficiency leads to rebellious qi, causing fullness below the heart that rushes upward to the chest and head, resulting in dizziness upon rising. This is because the more deficient the interior, the more rebellious the qi. A deep, tight pulse indicates cold pathogen entering the interior from the channels. Zhang Zhongjing's method states: if the pulse is floating and tight, sweating may be induced. Now, with a deep, tight pulse, inducing sweating is an error. Cheng's commentary says: Sweating disturbs the exterior channels and damages yang qi. Exterior yang deficiency fails to govern the pulses, causing the body to tremble and shake. This decoction harmonizes the channels, dispels cold, and tonifies yang and qi.)
Poria (Fuling, 茯苓) (four liang) Cinnamon Twig (Guizhi, 桂枝) (three liang, bark removed) Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (Baizhu, 白术) (two liang) Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) (two liang, honey-fried)
The above four herbs. Boil with six sheng of water. Reduce to three sheng of liquid. Remove the dregs. Divide into three warm doses.
Hu notes: Cheng's commentary says: For yang insufficiency, tonify with sweet substances like Poria and Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome to generate fluids and tonify yang. For interior rebellious qi, disperse with pungent substances like Cinnamon Twig and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma to move yang and disperse qi. Cinnamon Twig moves to the exterior; it is not a herb for dispersing interior rebellious qi. Essentially, interior deficiency with rebellious qi is supplemented with sweet substances and moderated by sweet substances; thus, Poria, Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome, and Honey-fried Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma are used. Exterior deficiency disturbing the channels is harmonized with pungent substances and assisted by sweet substances; thus, Cinnamon Twig and Honey-fried Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma are used. The above formula is a agent that harmonizes ying (nutritive) qi, tonifies qi, and addresses both exterior and interior. The *Tiaobian* deleted the character "Bai" (White) from the formula, claiming the *Bencao Jing* only lists "Zhu" (Atractylodes), referring to Cangzhu (Atractylodes lancea). Examining Zhang Zhongjing's era, there was no concept of Baizhu (Atractylodes macrocephala); thus, Poria and Zhu were treated as herbs to overcome dampness and guide out fluid. Consequently, this condition was interpreted as rebellious fluid qi, greatly missing Zhang Zhongjing's intent in the treatise. The *Shanglun Pian* did not correct this error, which is extremely mistaken.
After sweating, if the disease does not resolve but instead worsens aversion to cold, it is due to deficiency. Shaoyao Gancao Fuzi Tang (Peony, Licorice and Prepared Aconite Root Decoction) is the primary treatment. (This clause pertains to a true cold syndrome. The patient experiences aversion to cold; erroneous sweating fails to resolve the cause and exacerbates the aversion to cold. Physicians must not mistake this for a Shaoyang disease pattern. Both the main text and commentary are retained.)
