升麻三钱 葛根 芍药二钱 甘草一钱（炙）
加姜煎。
此方用升麻、葛根以升散阳明。又恐升提太过，致人喘满，故用芍药、甘草，酸收甘缓
以佐之。究竟互相牵制，不如独用葛根为君，加牛蒡、连翘、桔梗、薄荷等。斑疹、时疫，
则加马勃、青黛等，未为不可也。
柴胡 葛根各三钱 羌活一钱 白芷一钱 黄芩三钱 芍药 桔梗 甘草各一钱
加姜三片，枣二枚，石膏一钱，煎服。
此证无胁痛、耳聋之象，与少阳无涉，乃首用柴胡，开门揖盗，一忌也；大青龙汤用石
膏，全为烦躁而设，辄用石膏以伤胃气，二忌也。此方断不可用。
柴胡 前胡 黄芩六钱 升麻五钱 桑皮四钱 葛根四钱 荆芥七钱 赤芍 石膏一两
加姜三片，豉二十粒，煎。
升麻之为物，用以治天行疠疫，化毒消斑则可；寻常阳明症中，不可轻用。且用石膏为
君，意在清肺胃耳，独不虑寒胃太过，其更改不可问乎！
羌活 防风 苍术一钱五分 细辛五分 川芎 白芷 生地 黄芩 甘草一钱
加生姜、葱白煎。
此方用以代麻桂等汤，实为稳妥。但地黄滋腻太过，不如仍用桂枝汤中之芍药，敛阴而
不滋腻也。至其辛散燥烈，阴虚气弱者忌用，则固自言之矣！
麻黄四两 葛根十四两 升麻 川芎 白芷 紫苏 甘草 陈皮 香附 赤芍各四两
每服三钱，加姜五片，葱三茎煎。
时邪瘟疫，天行之疠气也。故此方于升散中多用芳香辟秽之品，辛烈善走，虽有芍药、
甘草，不能制之。不可作阳经外感之通剂用也。
Shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae) 3 qian, Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) 2 qian, Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 1 qian (prepared with honey).
Add ginger and decoct.
This formula uses Shengma and Gegen to ascend and disperse the Yangming channel. Fearing that the ascending action might be too strong, causing wheezing and chest fullness, Shaoyao and Gancao are used for their sour astringent and sweet relaxing properties to assist in restraint. Ultimately, they mutually restrict each other; it is better to use Gegen alone as the sovereign drug, adding Niubangzi (Arctii Fructus), Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba), etc. For macules and rashes, or seasonal epidemics, adding Mabo (Cordyceps Militaris? Note: Traditionally *Tussilagine Flos* or similar, but WHO term often refers to specific herbal material, here likely referring to *Tussilaginis Flos* or similar throat clearing herb, strictly translating as Mabo) and Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis) is acceptable.
Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) 3 qian, Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) 3 qian, Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) 1 qian, Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix) 1 qian, Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) 3 qian, Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) 1 qian, Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix) 1 qian, Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 1 qian.
Add three slices of ginger, two dates, and one qian of Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum), decoct and take.
This syndrome presents without hypochondriac pain or deafness, having no relation to the Shaoyang channel. Using Chaihu first is like opening the door to invite thieves, which is the first contraindication; Shigao is used in Daqinglong Tang specifically for irritability. Using Shigao here arbitrarily damages the stomach qi, which is the second contraindication. This formula must absolutely not be used.
Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) 6 qian, Qianhu (Peucedani Radix) 6 qian, Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) 6 qian, Shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae) 5 qian, Sangpi (Mori Cortex) 4 qian, Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) 4 qian, Jingjie (Schizonepetae Spica) 7 qian, Chishao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra) 1 liang, Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) 1 liang.
Add three slices of ginger and twenty grains of Chidou (Sojae Preparata), decoct.
Shengma is suitable for treating seasonal epidemics and pestilence, resolving toxins and eliminating rashes; however, it should not be used lightly in ordinary Yangming syndromes. Moreover, using Shigao as the sovereign drug aims to clear the lung and stomach heat. Does one not worry that excessive cold may damage the stomach, leading to unpredictable changes in the condition!
Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) 1.5 qian, Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) 1.5 qian, Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) 1.5 qian, Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma) 0.5 qian, Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 1 qian.
Add fresh ginger and scallion white, decoct.
This formula serves as a substitute for formulas such as Mahuang Tang and Guizhi Tang, and is actually quite safe. However, Shengdi is overly cloying and greasy; it is better to still use Shaoyao from Guizhi Tang, which astringes yin without being cloying. Regarding its pungent, dispersing, and drying nature, it is contraindicated for those with yin deficiency and qi weakness, which is already clearly stated.
Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) 4 liang, Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) 14 liang, Shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae) 4 liang, Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) 4 liang, Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix) 4 liang, Zisu (Perillae Folium) 4 liang, Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 4 liang, Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) 4 liang, Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma) 4 liang, Chishao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra) 4 liang.
Take 3 qian per dose, add five slices of ginger and three stems of scallion, decoct.
Seasonal pathogens and plagues are caused by seasonal pestilential qi. Therefore, this formula uses many aromatic substances to repel filth among the ascending and dispersing drugs. Its pungent and fierce nature moves readily; although it contains Shaoyao and Gancao, they cannot restrain it. It should not be used as a general agent for exterior syndromes of the yang channels.
