东垣云∶诸经脉络，皆走于面而行空窍，其清气散于目而为精
，走于耳而为听，若心烦事冗，饮食失节，脾胃亏损，心火太盛，百脉沸腾，邪害孔窍而失
明矣。况脾为诸阴之首，目为血脉之宗，脾虚则五脏之精气皆为失所，若不理脾胃，不养神
血，乃治标而不治本也。

Zhang Yugong, a Censor (Jishi), suffered from red eyes and blurred vision. After taking wind-dispelling and heat-clearing herbs, his photophobia worsened, accompanied by hearing loss. His pulse was large and deficient. This condition resulted from excessive mental exertion and irregular diet. He was cured rapidly with Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) added with Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Suanzaoren (Ziziphus Seed), Shanyao (Dioscorea Rhizome), Shanzhuyu (Cornus Fruit), and Wuweizi (Schisandra Berry). Later, due to severe physical overexertion, the symptoms recurred. He improved gradually using Shiquan Dabu Tang (Perfect Ten Tonifying Decoction) combined with the previous prescription, and finally recovered completely using Buzhong Yiqi Tang with the added herbs.
Li Dongyuan stated: The meridians and collaterals all ascend to the face and open into the orifices. The clear qi scatters into the eyes to form visual essence, and ascends to the ears to form hearing. If one is troubled by worry and busy with affairs, coupled with dietary irregularities, it leads to spleen-stomach deficiency and excessive heart fire. The hundred vessels boil, evil pathogens harm the orifices, resulting in blindness. Moreover, the spleen is the head of all yin organs, and the eyes are the congregation of blood vessels. When the spleen is deficient, the essential qi of the five zang organs loses its support. If the spleen and stomach are not regulated, and spirit and blood are not nourished, this treats the branch but not the root.
Li Puting, a Vice Minister, experienced tinnitus sounding like cicadas. After taking Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction), his tinnitus worsened. This was a syndrome of yuanqi (primordial qi) deficiency. He took Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) at dawn (wugeng) and Buzhong Yiqi Tang before meals, resulting in rapid recovery. For this syndrome, if there is blood deficiency with fire, use Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction) added with Zhizi (Gardenia Fruit) and Chaihu (Bupleurum Root). If there is qi deficiency with fire, use Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) added with Zhizi and Chaihu. If deafness or tinnitus arises from anger, for excess patterns, use Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) added with Xiong (Ligusticum Rhizome), Gui (Angelica Sinensis), and Zhizi; for deficiency patterns, use Buzhong Yiqi Tang added with Zhizi. If symptoms are worse in the morning, use Siwu Tang added with Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) and Fuling (Poria); for chronic cases, Buzhong Yiqi Tang is required; if symptoms are worse in the afternoon, use Dihuang Wan (Rehmannia Pill).
Li Yangzhi, a Vice Minister of Military Affairs, while serving as a Grand Secretary in Nanjing, suffered from tinnitus due to anger, accompanied by expectoration, vomiting, anorexia, alternating chills and fever, and hypochondriac pain. He was cured using Xiaochaihu Tang combined with Siwu Tang, added with Zhizi, Fushen, and Chenpi (Tangerine Peel).
Liu Yizhai, a Director of Imperial Jewels, experienced pain in the Taiyang region upon anger. He was treated with Xiaochaihu Tang added with Fuling and Zhizi to clear liver fire, followed by Liuwei Dihuang Wan to generate kidney water, after which the condition did not recur.
A scholar suffered from tightness and dryness in both eyes in the late afternoon, unable to see clearly. This was caused by sinking of yuanqi. He was cured after several doses of Buzhong Yiqi Tang with doubled amounts of Renshen (Ginseng Root) and Huangqi (Astragalus Root).
A man suffered from similar symptoms. After taking herbs such as Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark) and Zhimu (Anemarrhena Rhizome), he developed hematochezia. This indicated that spleen deficiency failed to control blood, and liver deficiency failed to store blood. He was cured using Buzhong Yiqi Tang and Liuwei Dihuang Wan.
A scholar suffered from eye pain. After taking fire-descending and wind-dispelling herbs, his eyes became crimson red, and he felt extreme fatigue and lassitude. I administered Shiquan Dabu Tang for several doses, after which all symptoms subsided. He then recovered completely by taking Buzhong Yiqi Tang combined with Liuwei Dihuang Wan. Later, due to physical overexertion, he experienced eye dryness and body fatigue in the afternoon, and recovered after taking Shiquan Dabu Tang.
A man, suffering from sexual exhaustion compounded by anger, experienced distension and stuffiness at Fengfu (GV16) and distending pain in both hypochondria. I diagnosed this as kidney damage from excessive sex and liver injury from anger. He was prescribed Liuwei Dihuang Wan formula added with Chaihu and Danggui (Angelica Sinensis), and felt relieved after one dose.
A scholar, due to excessive alcohol and sexual indulgence, suffered from headache and hypochondriac pain. I diagnosed this as kidney deficiency complicated by liver disease, and treated him with the aforementioned prescription, resulting in immediate relief.
A man with a pale complexion had clear nasal discharge and anosmia for three years. He was cured using Buzhong Yiqi Tang added with Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber) and Zhizi.
A twenty-year-old man, accustomed to indulging in alcohol and sex, suffered from red and painful eyes that came and went. His chi pulses were surging but weak upon deep pressure. I predicted that a young man with this condition would lose his sight. The next morning, he walked feeling his way, unable to distinguish day from night, astonishing everyone. I gave him Liuwei Dihuang Wan formula added with Maidong and Wuweizi, and his vision restored immediately after one dose.
