Bohe (Herba Menthae, one tael) Gegen (Radix Puerariae), Renshen (Radix Ginseng), Zhigancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata, each half tael), Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae, de-radicle two taels).
Crush the above herbs. Take five qian per dose. Add one zhan of water. Decoct until seven-tenths remains. Remove the dregs. Take hot. If after three to five doses the Cun pulse (pulse position at the wrist representing the upper jiao and exterior) is still weak, add Bohe (Herba Menthae) two fen.
Wang Hu notes: The above formula is also an accurate prescription for releasing the exterior of the Foot-Yangming and Hand-Taiyin meridians. It can only be taken by persons with Qi deficiency suffering from Wind-Cold. Otherwise, do not lightly use Renshen (Radix Ginseng). Furthermore, the previous formula states: "If the Cun pulse is weak, add Jujube." Why does this formula add Bohe (Herba Menthae)? Presumably because the previous formula contains mostly acrid drugs, so it uses the sweet nature of Dazao (Fructus Ziziphi Jujubae) to assist them. This formula contains Renshen (Radix Ginseng), which has greater strength than Jujube, and fewer acrid drugs; therefore, Bohe (Herba Menthae) two fen is added again, allowing acrid and sweet flavors to combine, thereby achieving the effect of dispersing and releasing.
(Also known as Lianqiao Yinzi) Treats Shanghan (Cold Damage) where the exterior is not resolved, half of the pathogenic factor has entered the interior, and the indications for purgation are not yet fully present. After purgation, dryness-heat arises and stagnates internally, causing vexation and restlessness (Fanxin Aonao), inability to sleep. Accumulated heat in the Zang-Fu organs, dizziness, chapped lips, dry throat with obstruction, red eyes, vexation and thirst, sores on the mouth and tongue, cough with thick sticky sputum, delirium and madness, dryness and astringency of the intestines and stomach, constipation of stool and urine, stagnation of Wind-Heat, etc.
Lianqiao (Fructus Forsythiae, one tael), Shanzhizi (Semen Gardenolia, half tael), Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, half tael), Boheye (Folium Menthae, half tael), Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae, half tael), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, one and a half taels), Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas, one fen).
Pulverize the above herbs. Take two or three qian per dose. Add one zhan of water and a little honey. (Zhige says, honey may be omitted. Old formulas used Zhuye (Folium Bambusae), perhaps it is also unnecessary.) Decoct until seven-tenths remains. Remove the dregs. Take warm.
Zhunsheng states: Add Huanglian (Rhizoma Coptidis) five qian, named Qingxin Tang (Clear Heart Decoction).
Wang Hu notes: The above formula is a preparation for treating excess heat in the Qi and Blood of the internal and external Sanjiao (Triple Burner). It is named Liangge (Cooling the Diaphragm) because the Stomach resides below the diaphragm; it is a formula to clear and wash away Wind-Heat stagnation in the Stomach Fu organ. Furthermore, the aforementioned indications state: "Exterior not resolved," meaning that after sweating treatment, the pathogenic heat is not resolved, not that the exterior syndrome still exists. Scholars should comprehend this through their own understanding.
Treats Shanghan (Cold Damage) and miscellaneous diseases, abdominal fullness and dry throat caused by internal or external injury over varying durations, vexation and thirst, delirium and madness, hardness and pain upon pressing the epigastrium (Xinxia), dark and scanty urination, constipation, severe heat leading to panting and cough, chest oppression, mental confusion, fright, and mania. For those with a rapid and deep-solid pulse, all these conditions are treated.
Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, select those with brocade patterns), Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas), Houpo (Cortex Magnoliae Officinalis, bark removed), Zhishi (Fructus Aurantii Immaturus, each half tael), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, one tael; Zhunsheng formula uses only five qian of Gancao, while the other four ingredients are one tael each).
Cut the herbs into pieces the size of hemp seeds. Add one and a half zhan of water and three slices of Shengjiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens). Decoct until seven-tenths remains. Add Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) and boil for one or two boils. Remove the dregs. Take warm.
Wang Yutai says: This decoction treats the syndromes of Dachengqi Tang (abdominal fullness, solid pain), Tiaowei Chengqi Tang (delirium with diarrhea), and Xiao Chengqi Tang (internal heat with difficulty in defecation), combining them into one. This is a purgative formula.
Wang Hu notes: Qibo's son's *Baoming Ji* states: In treating Shanghan (Cold Damage), releasing the exterior has degrees of depth, and attacking the interior has degrees of severity. The Chengqi formulas attack the interior with three legislations. Dachengqi Tang: Houpo (Cortex Magnoliae Officinalis) is bitter and warm to remove palpitations/fullness; Zhishi (Fructus Aurantii Immaturus) is bitter and cold to drain distension; Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) is salty and cold to soften hardness; Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) is bitter and cold to drain excess. When Pi (palpitations), Man (distension), Zao (dryness), and Shi (excess) are all complete, it can be used; hence it is called Dachengqi Tang. Xiao Chengqi Tang: Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) is bitter and cold to drain excess; Houpo (Cortex Magnoliae Officinalis) is bitter and warm to remove palpitations. When Pi (palpitations) and Shi (excess) are both complete, it can be used; hence it is called Xiao Chengqi Tang. Regarding this passage, the phrase "Zhishi drains distension" is missing. Tiaowei Chengqi Tang: Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) is bitter and cold to drain excess; Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) is salty and cold to soften hardness and moisten dryness; Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae) is sweet and neutral to harmonize the middle. When Zao (dryness), Shi (excess), and Jian (hardness) are all complete, it can be used; hence it is called Tiaowei Chengqi Tang. The methods of attacking the interior differ thus. Furthermore, Wang Haicang's *Ci Shi Nan Zhi* states: Suppose a Tiaowei Chengqi Tang syndrome is treated with Dachengqi Tang; then post-recovery vitality will not recover because the Qi-moving drugs have attacked it. A Dachengqi Tang syndrome treated with Tiaowei Chengqi Tang will result in post-recovery mental dullness because the Qi-moving drugs are absent. A Xiao Chengqi Tang syndrome treated with Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) may lead to incessant diarrhea, transforming into deficiency. The prohibition against indiscriminately administering these three decoctions is such. Now, the Xuanming Formula combines them into one, stating they are all drugs that purge excess heat from the Yangming Stomach Fu organ, and scholars should adjust them according to clinical presentation to avoid major errors. As for Tao's Shechechui Formula, adding Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri), Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae), and Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Alba), renamed Liuyi Shunqi Tang, and claiming it replaces the divine drugs of the three Chengqi Tangs as well as Dachaihu Tang and Da Xiexiong Tang, causes later physicians to disregard the deficiency and excess of Qi and Blood in the Upper, Middle, and Lower Jiao, using them indiscriminately. The resulting disasters are even more severe today; is this not tragic?
