大方 有君一臣三佐九之大方。（病势大而邪不一，不可以一二味治者宜之。）有分两大而顿
服之大方。（肝、肾及下部病者宜之。肝、肾下部位远，若小剂徐呷，则力微势缓，才到下部即散，故必大剂急
啜，乃能及下也。）
小方 有君一臣二之小方。（病小无兼证者宜之。）有分两少而徐呷之小方。（心肺及上肺病
者宜之。）
缓方 有甘以缓之之缓方。（甘草、饴、蜜之属。）有以丸缓之之缓方。（丸之行，比汤、散为
迟。）有品味众多之缓方。（品众则递相拘制，不得各骋其性。）有无毒治病之缓方。（无毒则性纯而功
缓。）有气味俱薄之缓方。（气味俱薄则力弱，故功缓。）
急方 有急病急攻之急方。（如中风卒厥，用通关散之类。）有汤、散荡除之急方。（汤、散
之行比丸为速。）有毒药之急方。（毒性上通下泻，以夺病势）。有气味俱浓之急方。（气味俱浓，则力
猛行急。）
按小而兼缓，病在上部而缓者宜之。大而兼急，病在下部而急者宜之。小而兼
急，病在上部而急者宜之。大而兼缓，病在下部而缓者宜之。又病大者宜大，小者
宜小，治主宜缓，治客宜急，各有攸当。
奇方 有独用一物之奇方。有合奇数一三五七九之奇方。
偶方 有二味相配之偶方。有合偶数二四六八十之偶方。有二方相合之偶方。
按王太仆云∶汗须以偶气乃足以外发，下须以奇乃不至攻伐太过。其意盖以奇
为小方，偶为大方。小方治近在脏腑，大方治远在皮毛也。然则奇偶即大小二方耳，
而复立此者，盖亦有奇大于偶者，故又立此二方，以见治法之变动不居耳，然不必
泥。观仲景桂枝汤汗以五味，大承气汤下以四味，可见矣。
复方 王太仆以复方即偶方，谬也。当根据后人二方相合为偶，数方相合为复之
说。又张子和引《内经》【奇之不去则偶之，偶之不去则反佐以取之】之说，以解
复方。谓【复】乃【反复】之义，盖奇之不去，则反用偶方，偶之不去，则覆用反
佐，反复重叠，以治其病也，亦通。

Da Fang (Large Formula): Includes formulas with one Jun (Monarch) herb, three Chen (Minister) herbs, and nine Zuo (Assistant) herbs. (Suitable for severe disease conditions where pathogens are not singular, and cannot be treated with only one or two herbs.) Includes large-dosage formulas taken in one dose. (Suitable for diseases of the Liver, Kidney, and lower body. Since the Liver, Kidney, and lower parts are distant, if small doses are sipped slowly, the therapeutic force will be weak and slow, dissipating before reaching the lower parts. Therefore, large doses must be drunk urgently to reach the destination.)
Xiao Fang (Small Formula): Includes formulas with one Jun herb and two Chen herbs. (Suitable for mild diseases without concurrent syndromes.) Includes formulas with small dosages taken slowly. (Suitable for diseases of the Heart, Lung, and upper body.)
Huan Fang (Slow/Gentle Formula): Includes formulas using sweet herbs to moderate the condition (e.g., Gan Cao, Yi Tang, Honey). Includes pill formulations, as pills act slower than decoctions and powders. Includes formulas with many ingredients, which restrain each other and prevent individual herbs from exerting their full potency. Includes formulas using non-toxic herbs, which have pure properties and slow effects. Includes formulas with thin flavors and odors, which have weak force and thus slow efficacy.
Ji Fang (Urgent/Rapid Formula): Includes formulas for urgent attack on acute conditions (e.g., Guan Tong San for sudden stroke or syncope). Includes decoctions and powders that cleanse rapidly, acting faster than pills. Includes formulas using toxic herbs to drain downward and upward, seizing the pathogenic momentum. Includes formulas with strong flavors and odors, which have fierce force and rapid action.
Note: Small and gentle formulas are suitable for upper-body diseases requiring slow treatment. Large and urgent formulas are suitable for lower-body diseases requiring rapid treatment. Small and urgent formulas are suitable for upper-body diseases requiring rapid treatment. Large and gentle formulas are suitable for lower-body diseases requiring slow treatment. Furthermore, major diseases suit large formulas, minor diseases suit small formulas; treating the primary cause requires gentleness, while treating secondary pathogens requires urgency. Each has its appropriate application.
Qi Fang (Odd/Single Formula): Includes formulas using a single herb exclusively. Includes formulas combining an odd number of herbs (1, 3, 5, 7, 9).
Ou Fang (Even/Paired Formula): Includes formulas pairing two herbs. Includes formulas combining an even number of herbs (2, 4, 6, 8, 10). Includes formulas combining two separate prescriptions.
Note: Wang Bing (Wang Tai Pu) stated: "Diaphoresis requires even-numbered qi to sufficiently disperse outward; purgation requires odd-numbered measures to avoid excessive damage." His intent was likely regarding Qi Fang as Xiao Fang and Ou Fang as Da Fang. Xiao Fang treats internal organs nearby, while Da Fang treats exterior skin far away. Thus, Qi and Ou are essentially just Large and Small formulas. However, these categories were established separately because there are cases where Qi exceeds Ou. This illustrates the flexibility of treatment methods, but one should not adhere rigidly to them. Observing Zhang Zhongjing's Gui Zhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) uses five ingredients for diaphoresis, and Da Cheng Qi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) uses four ingredients for purgation, clarifies this point.
Fu Fang (Compound Formula): Wang Bing equated Fu Fang with Ou Fang, which is erroneous. One should follow the later interpretation that combining two formulas creates an Ou formula, while combining multiple formulas creates a Fu formula. Additionally, Zhang He Zheng cited *Nei Jing*: "If Qi fails, try Ou; if Ou fails, use counter-assistance to obtain the result." He interpreted 'Fu' as 'repetition'. If Qi fails, reverse to use Ou; if Ou fails, repeat with counter-assistance. This repetitive layering treats the disease, which is also a valid interpretation.
