此方补阴清肺，益脾降气，消痰之剂。士材云∶虚劳之所难者。如脾喜温燥，清肺则
碍脾；
少泄多，虽喘嗽不宁，但以补脾为要，清润之品，所宜斟酌。以脾有生肺之能，肺无扶脾之
力，故制清宁膏一方而兼补脾阴之药。注云∶润肺不碍脾，补脾不碍肺，以肺属金而法天，
脾属土而法地。曰清宁者，脾肺兼理，取天清地宁之义也。愚以此方另添数味，投之辄效。
用方者，弗以品多而去之可也。按经言肾病而谓诸阳气浮，无所根据从，故呕逆上气喘。盖阳
根于阴，肾阴虚则阳无根据，而上升为呕嗳喘逆诸症。沈氏谓虚劳咳嗽，皆由阴虚阳盛，气为
阳，气有余便是火。火性上炎，势必刑金。肝木挟心相二火上逆，反侮肺金，故咳嗽无度，
至于黄昏肺气不能归纳肾间，夜咳愈甚，但肺为娇脏，咳伤肺膜，则痰中见血，火蒸精液，
化为痰涎，痰火交结，咳逆无休，肺阴日衰，以致音哑声嘶，则不治矣。故初病之时，急宜
降气消痰，调养脾胃，以生营卫，清润肺金，以生肾水，俾心火有制，不刑于肺，金水相生
，阴火退伏，而咳自宁矣。古方治干咳嗽有琼玉膏，用生地（四两）、茯苓（十二两）、人参（
六两）、白蜜（二斤）， 仙加琥珀、沉香（各五钱），同参茯为末，隔汤再煮，自云神效异常
。此虽以滋阴药为君，然人参乃肺热所忌，宜酌用之。

This is a formula that moistens dryness, clears Metal (clears the Lung), descends Qi, and resolves phlegm. It is most suitable for those with Yin deficiency cough, especially wine drinkers. If heat is severe, phlegm is excessive, and stool is dry and constipated, add pear juice.
Using humans to supplement humans, its efficacy is unparalleled.

It belongs to the category of restoring life.
This formula nourishes Yin, clears the Lung, benefits the Spleen, descends Qi, and resolves phlegm. Shitai (referring to He Mengyao, a Ming Dynasty physician) said: The difficulty in treating Consumption lies in the fact that the Spleen prefers warmth and dryness; clearing the Lung may hinder the Spleen. If the patient has frequent diarrhea and infrequent constipation, although wheezing and coughing are restless, the priority should be tonifying the Spleen. Moistening and clearing agents should be used with caution. Because the Spleen has the ability to generate the Lung, but the Lung lacks the power to support the Spleen, this Qingning Paste was formulated to include herbs that tonify Spleen Yin. The annotation states: Moistening the Lung does not hinder the Spleen, tonifying the Spleen does not hinder the Lung. This is because the Lung belongs to Metal and follows the pattern of Heaven, while the Spleen belongs to Earth and follows the pattern of Earth. It is called "Qingning" (Clear and Tranquil) because it regulates both Spleen and Lung, taking the meaning of "Heaven is Clear and Earth is Tranquil." I believe adding a few more ingredients to this formula yields immediate results. Users of this formula should not discard it due to the large number of ingredients. According to the Classics, Kidney disease causes Yang Qi to float upwards without root, leading to vomiting, retching, upward rushing of Qi, and asthma. Since Yang is rooted in Yin, Kidney Yin deficiency means Yang has no foundation, rising up to cause symptoms like vomiting, belching, and wheezing. Shen stated that Consumption cough is caused by Yin deficiency and Yang excess. Qi belongs to Yang; excess Qi becomes Fire. Fire nature rises upward, inevitably damaging Lung Metal. Liver Wood, carrying the ministerial fire of the Heart and Sanjiao, rebels against and insults Lung Metal, causing incessant coughing. By dusk, Lung Qi cannot descend into the Kidneys, so night coughs are worse. However, the Lung is a delicate organ; coughing damages the lung membranes, resulting in blood in sputum. Heat steams essence fluids, transforming them into phlegm-saliva. Phlegm and Fire knot together, causing unceasing coughing and rebellion. As Lung Yin declines daily, hoarseness and loss of voice occur, which indicates an untreatable condition. Therefore, at the onset of illness, it is urgent to descend Qi, resolve phlegm, regulate the Spleen and Stomach to generate Ying and Wei, clear and moisten Lung Metal to generate Kidney Water, thereby restraining Heart Fire so it does not damage Lung Metal. Metal and Water generate each other, Yin Fire retreats, and cough naturally subsides. An ancient formula for dry cough is Qiongyu Paste, using *Rehmanniae Radix* (4 liang), *Poria* (12 liang), *Ginseng Radix* (6 liang), and white honey (2 jin). Xian added *Amber* and *Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum* (5 qian each). Grind Ginseng and Poria into powder, cook again over water bath, claiming extraordinary divine efficacy. Although this formula uses Yin-nourishing drugs as the sovereign, Ginseng is contraindicated for Lung heat and should be used with discretion.
