（干咳附）
咳嗽当分二病为，有声无痰咳症知。有痰无声名曰嗽，嗽属脾家湿痰欺。咳为肺经痰气
盛，均为肺病总无疑。新者痰食风寒属，或泻或散易治之。久者劳火阴虚症，虽可攻补却难
医。治用贝母杏紫苏，花粉桔梗及前胡。栀芩清火宽中壳（枳壳），半夏消痰甘橘荷（薄荷）。
引用生姜与灯草，饮时食后起沉 。风痰添以星（南星）沥汁，肺实桑葶不可无（脉右浮洪有
力，或气喘甚）。若还风嗽声难转，麻黄羌活防风苏。清早嗽多肺火动，天麦二冬在所用。上
午嗽者胃火伏，知母石膏病自中。下午嗽多属血虚，四物补阴二冬共。阿胶五味款冬花，元
参北沙皆可奉。春嗽柴芎芍加入，夏宜清火麦冬得。秋用桑防冬解表，麻防桂半干姜吃。呕
吐痰涎无声者，二陈平胃治之适。再增术枳亦多功，姜汁加引不可忽。

(Attached to Dry Cough)
Cough should be differentiated into two types of diseases. One with sound but no phlegm is known as "Ke" (cough). One with phlegm but no sound is called "Sou" (sputtering), which belongs to damp-phlegm afflicting the Spleen. "Ke" is due to excessive phlegm and Qi in the Lung Meridian, and it is undoubtedly a disease of the Lungs. New-onset cases involve phlegm-food stagnation or wind-cold, and are easily treated by purging or dispersing. Chronic cases involve consumptive fire and Yin deficiency; although they can be treated by attacking pathogens or tonifying, they are difficult to cure. Treatment uses Fritillariae Bulbus (Beimu), Armeniacae Semen (Xingren), Perillae Caulis (Zisu), Trichosanthis Radix (Huafen), Platycodonis Radix (Jiegeng), and Peucedani Radix (Qianhu). Gardeniae Fructus (Zhizi) and Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin) clear fire and broaden the middle using Aurantii Fructus (Zhike); Pinelliae Rhizoma (Banxia) eliminates phlegm combined with Glycyrrhizae Radix (Gancao), Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Chenpi), and Menthae Haplocalycis Herba (Bohe). Ginger and Juncus Effusus (Dengcao) are used as guides; taken after meals to resolve deep-seated issues. For wind-phlegm, add Arisaematis Rhizoma (Nanxing) and Bamboo Sap (Lizhi); for excess in the Lungs (pulse floating, full, and forceful on the right, or severe asthma), Mulberry Cortex (Sangbaitu) must not be omitted. If it is still wind-cough with stiff voice, Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang), Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng), and Perillae Folium (Zisu) are used. Morning coughs often indicate moving Lung fire, where Asparagi Radix (Tianmen Dong) and Ophiopogonis Radix (Maidong) are employed. Afternoon coughs suggest latent Stomach fire, addressed by Anemarrhenae Rhizoma (Zhimu) and Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao) from the middle. Evening coughs mostly belong to Blood deficiency, treated with Siwu Decoction (Four Substance Decoction) to nourish Yin along with Tianmen Dong and Maidong. Donkey-hide Gelatin (Ejiao), Schisandrae Fructus (Wuweizi), and Farfarae Flos (Kuandonghua), along with Scrophulariae Radix (Yuanshen) and Glehniae Radix (Beisha), are all suitable. In spring, Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu), Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong), and Paeoniae Radix Alba (Baishao) are added; in summer, clearing fire with Maidong is appropriate. In autumn, Mori Folium (Sangye) and Fangfeng are used to release the exterior; Mahuang, Fangfeng, Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guizhi), Banxia, and Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Ganjiang) are consumed. Vomiting of phlegm-saliva without sound is appropriately treated with Erchen Decoction (Two Aged Things Decoction) and Pingwei San (Calm the Stomach Powder). Adding Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu) and Aurantii Fructus (Zhike) adds much efficacy; adding Ginger Juice as a guide should not be ignored.

Mr. Chen said: When Wood strikes Metal, it rings; clear Metal to control Wood. For Summerheat combined with Wind-Cold-Heat symptoms, regulating the Lungs and treating the Stomach is primary. For Wind, use Acrid-Ping (Neutral) herbs; for Cold, use Acrid-Warm herbs. If Earth deficiency fails to generate Metal, use Sweet-Cool and Sweet-Warm substances, conforming to the principle of Yang Earth and Yin Upper.
