[Summary] Chonghe Tang Formula
For formulas such as Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) and Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction), one should not use them lightly. I have a divine formula that does not violate the contraindications of the Three Yang meridians. It contains Qianghuo, Fangfeng, Shaoyao, Xixin, Baizhi, Huangqin, Cangzhu, Baizhu, Shengdihuang, and Gancao. Grind the herbs into coarse powder, decoct with rice and water, and both wind and cold pathogens will be resolved effectively.
Qianghuo, Fangfeng, Shaoyao, Xixin, Baizhi, Huangqin, Cangzhu, Baizhu, Shengdihuang, Gancao.
Take the above ten ingredients in equal parts, chop them. For each dose, add a pinch of rice (note: text implies adding rice to decoction or specific measure), one large cup of water, boil three times, filter the dregs, and take warm. Re-decoct the dregs. If sweating has already occurred, stop taking the medicine; efficacy is not measured by the amount of sweat produced.
(The text above states: "If sweating has occurred, then stop," from which it can be known that this formula is actually a diaphoretic. (I believe there should be two sentences missing: "When there is sweat but it has not emerged, induce sweating"; this may be due to lost bamboo slips during transcription.)
Wang Hu notes: This formula is essentially Jiwei Qianghuo Tang (Nine-Ingredient Notopterygium Decoction) by Zhang Yishan (Zhang Yuansu), with Chuanxiong removed and Baizhu and Shaoyao added. The meridians entered are the same as those of Jiwei Qianghuo Tang. However, Cangzhu and Baizhu should be selected based on the presence or absence of sweating. Furthermore, the function of Shaoyao is to harmonize Ying (Nutritive Qi). I suggest that for patients with sweating, Shaoyao should be used; for those without sweating, using Chuanxiong is more stable.
If there is an internal injury syndrome, or pain throughout the entire body internally and externally, including joint pain, Xionghuang Tang (Chuanxiong and Licorice Decoction) is appropriate.
Chuanxiong, Gancao, Mahuang, Nan Zhike.
Take the above ingredients in equal parts. Each dose is 3 qian or 5 qian, with 3 slices of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger), decoct until boiling three times. Take hot for best results. The pain will stop immediately.
Wang Hu notes: In the aforementioned indications, the character "internal" (Nei) in "internal syndrome" is likely a typo for "external" (Wai). Even if accompanied by internal symptoms, it is merely slight stuffiness in the chest. Therefore, this formula is a variation of Zhongjing's Mahuang Tang. Regarding its treatment of so-called "internal syndrome," only Zhike (Aurantii Fructus) is used.
Formula for treating internal injury from frozen beverages combined with external contraction of cold pathogen, presenting with no sweating. (See ancient edition of Dongyuan's *Ten Books: Brief Examples of Yin Syndromes*.)
Cangzhu (processed), Fangfeng (each 2 liang), Gancao (1 liang, honey-fried).
Chop, add 3 cun of Congbai (Scallion White) and a piece of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger), decoct with water and take.
If Taiyang disease (syndrome caused by pathogenic invasion of the Taiyang meridian) presents with fever, aversion to cold, and a floating and tight pulse, add Qianghuo. If Taiyang disease presents with a floating, tight pulse containing wiry and rapid qualities, indicating concurrent Shaoyang disease (syndrome caused by pathogenic invasion of the Shaoyang meridian), add Chaihu. If Taiyang disease presents with a floating, tight pulse containing surging qualities, indicating concurrent Yangming disease (syndrome caused by pathogenic invasion of the Yangming meridian), add Huangqin. (My opinion: Why not add Gegen? Puerariae Radix?) For the above three syndromes, approximately add 2 qianbi (a small spoonful measure) per dose. Regardless of which of the Three Yang meridians is involved, for female patients, add Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix). To treat Chuinai (mastitis), after decoction, mix with Liu Yi San (Six-to-One Powder) 3-5 qian. The effect is miraculous.
Wang Hu notes: The above formula is a variation of Jiegu's Chuanxiong Tang. Jiegu was the teacher of Dongyuan (Li Gao), and Haizang (Wang Haogu) studied under Dongyuan. Thus, the Baizhu Tang mentioned below is a slight variation of Jiegu's Huangtang. Generally, the transmission between master and disciple follows the same pattern.
Shenzhu Tang Modifications according to the Six Qi
Taiyang Cold Water ruling the year (In traditional Chinese medicine cosmology, one of the six qi governing the first half of the year, associated with cold and water), add Guizhi and Qianghuo. (Lou Quanshan said: In years when non-seasonal cold occurs, I also add winter herbs.)
Yangming Dry Metal ruling the year (One of the six qi governing the first half of the year, associated with dryness and metal), add Baizhi and Shengma. (Lou said: In years when non-seasonal cool-dampness occurs, I also add them. Also in autumn. My opinion: Coolness leads to dryness/dampness, which can be either cold or heat. Generally, autumn dominates with dry commands. If it is dry but not damp, Baizhi should not be added; replacing it with Gegen is very stable.)
Shaoyang Ministerial Fire ruling the year (One of the six qi governing the first half of the year, associated with ministerial fire), add Huangqin and Shengdihuang. (Lou said: In years when non-seasonal rainy dampness occurs, I also add them. Also in summer. My opinion: The ruling qi has both constant and variable aspects. Variable qi is indeed unpredictable. But if it changes to rainy dampness, using the above drugs does not match the pathology.)
Taiyin Damp Earth ruling the year (One of the six qi governing the first half of the year, associated with dampness and earth), add Baizhu and Gaoben. (Lou said: In years when non-seasonal hot-dampness occurs, I also add them. Late summer and early autumn, also add. My opinion: Non-seasonal hot-dampness means the above drugs only treat dampness and do not address heat. One should additionally add Huangqin and other herbs.)
Shaoyin Sovereign Fire ruling the year (One of the six qi governing the first half of the year, associated with sovereign fire), add Xixin and Duhuo. (Lou said: In years when non-seasonal heat occurs, I also add them. Late spring and early summer, also add. My opinion: The above drugs do not conform to the ruling qi or seasonal qi.)
Jueyin Wind Wood ruling the year (One of the six qi governing the first half of the year, associated with wind and wood), add Chuanxiong and Fangfeng. (Lou said: In years when non-seasonal mild warmth occurs, I also add them. Also in spring.)
The above modifications of Shenzhu Tang according to the Six Qi are not solely designed for the ruling qi. They also apply to the main qi of the year, as well as conditions corresponding to the month, day, and hour. All should be modified according to the observed patterns based on the examples above.
Wang Hu notes: The theory of Yunqi (Five Movements and Six Qi) in the *Neijing* has both constant and variable aspects. Constant qi refers to what Haizang calls the ruling qi. Variable qi refers to what Lou called non-seasonal qi. Since the arrival of essential qi is不定 (uncertain), the text above further states: The method of medication should always be modified according to the qi observed in the year, month, day, and hour. Heaven's qi arrives with time, and human illness changes due to qi. Therefore, Shanghan (Cold Damage) is commonly known as Shiqi (Seasonal Qi). The above discussion actually elucidates mutually with Zhongjing's method of determining diseases according to the four seasons, eight solar terms, and twenty-four qi. If learners can study these together, their methods of treating diseases with medication according to time will be nearly perfect.
