(The above prescriptions are all found in *Zhong Han Lun* [Treatise on Cold Damage].)
After sweating therapy, if purgation is erroneously applied and the disease remains unresolved, with the manifestation of irritability (Fan Zao), Fuling Sini Decoction (Poria and Aconite Decoction) should be administered. (This clause also pertains to a true cold syndrome. Since erroneous sweating was performed first, followed by erroneous purgation, and the disease remains unresolved, the subsequent irritability arises from the administration of cooling medicines to a yin-cold disease. Physicians must not mistake this irritability for a heat syndrome transmitted through meridians. The main text and annotation are combined here.)

(Attached as an example below:) After sweating therapy, if aversion to cold occurs, it is due to deficiency. If there is no aversion to cold but only fever, it is an excess syndrome. One should harmonize the Stomach Qi and administer Tiaowei Chengqi Decoction (Regulating the Stomach and Order the Granules Decoction). (This clause pertains to a Yangming excess-heat syndrome entering the fu organs. The main text and annotation are combined; the prescription details are provided in Volume 6, Yangming Chapter, later in the text.)
In Taiyang disease, after sweating therapy, excessive sweating leads to dryness in the Stomach, resulting in irritability and insomnia. If the patient desires water, one should provide small amounts of water frequently. When the Stomach Qi becomes harmonized, the patient will recover. If the pulse is floating, urination is difficult, accompanied by slight fever and Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst/polydipsia), Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) should be administered. (For Taiyang disease, Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) is used to induce sweating. Excessive sweating depletes the fluids in the Stomach. Dryness causes irritability and insomnia, consistent with the statement in *Neijing*: "When the Stomach is disharmonious, sleep is uneasy." The desire for water arises because body fluids belong to the category of water; excessive sweating depletes internal fluids, prompting the body to seek external water for self-rescue. The appropriate method is to provide small amounts frequently, ensuring the Stomach receives water without becoming dry, thereby moistening the Qi and restoring harmony, leading to recovery. However, if after sweating the pulse remains floating, the exterior pathogen has not been fully resolved. The desire for water combined with difficulty in urination indicates that cold-fluid retention agitates the heat in the Stomach, causing it to flow downward into the Bladder, resulting in heat accumulation and urinary obstruction. Slight fever and polydipsia indicate that externally there is slight fever with unresolved exterior syndrome, and internally there is polydipsia with increased water intake, signifying simultaneous involvement of the Taiyang channel and its corresponding fu organ. Wuling San is given to harmonize the interior and exterior and promote the discharge of water-heat. In my opinion: This clause should be interpreted in two parts. From "Taiyang disease after sweating..." to "when Stomach Qi harmonizes," this refers to dryness in the Stomach causing irritability and thirst, which requires only water to harmonize the Stomach Qi and is not an indication for Wuling San. Conversely, floating pulse, difficulty in urination, slight fever, and polydipsia refer to water-heat binding in the Bladder causing thirst, which is the indication for Wuling San. Previous scholars failed to notice this and interpreted it linearly, significantly missing Zhang Zhongjing's intent. Furthermore, the term "Taiyang disease" mentioned above encompasses both Wind-stroke and Cold-damage. Wind-stroke should not be erroneously treated with sweating, nor should Cold-damage be excessively sweated. Excessive sweating inevitably leads to Stomach dryness. Cheng Wuji's commentary harmoniously explains this mixture, which is excellent. Ke Qin's *Shanghan Laisu Ji* and Yu Jiayan's *Shanglun Pian* incorrectly classified this under Wind-stroke clauses, which is overly rigid.)
