Wanyan Zhengqing, during the second month of the Bingyin year, due to official duties and labor, irregular diet, caused Heart Fire (Xin Huo) to invade the Spleen (Pi), resulting in Spleen Qi deficiency. Additionally, anger caused Qi rebellion and injured the Liver (Gan). Symptoms included epigastric fullness and obstruction (Xin Xia Pi Man), fatigue and heaviness in the four limbs, numbness of the body, which subsequently progressed to jaundice affecting both the body and eyes, with a slight bluish-black discoloration of the face. The patient experienced mental restlessness, palpitations (Zheng Chong), dizziness, nausea, bad taste in the mouth, delayed digestion of food, frequent passage of undigested food, and oliguria with dark red-black urine. Fever occurred between 7:00 AM and 11:00 AM (Chen-Si hours) and ceased at dusk, becoming particularly severe by April. His son sought my treatment due to the critical condition, detailing the history. The pulse was floating and moderate (Fu Er Huan). The *Jingui Yaolue* states: "A floating pulse at the Cun position indicates Wind; a moderate pulse indicates Bi syndrome. This Bi is not wind-stroke; the four limbs suffer from vexation, the color of the Spleen must be yellow, and stagnant heat circulates." A tight pulse at the Fuyang position indicates injury to the Spleen. When Wind-Cold contend, dizziness occurs after eating; Grain Qi fails to digest, causing the Stomach to suffer from turbidity. Turbid Qi flows downward, leading to urinary obstruction. Yin is affected by cold, while Heat flows into the Bladder (Pang Guang), resulting in whole-body jaundice, named Gu Dan (Grain Jaundice). It is appropriate to treat with Fur Ling Zhi Zi Yin Chen Tang.
[Fur Ling Zhi Zi Yin Chen Tang]
Yin Chen Ye (Artemisiae Scopariae Folium, 1 qian)
Fu Ling (Poria, peeled, 5 fen)
Zhi Zi Ren (Gardeniae Fructus)
Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, peeled and stir-fried)
Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, each 3 qian)
Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix, raw, 6 fen)
Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma, de-soured)
Zhi Shi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, bran-fried)
Zhu Ling (Polyporus, peeled)
Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma)
Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium)
Han Fang Ji (Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix, each 2 fen)
Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride, white pith removed, 1 fen)
The above thirteen herbs are coarsely crushed. Prepare as one dose. Use three cups of running water, decoct until one cup remains. Strain and take warm before meals. After one dose, reduce the dosage by half. Two doses lead to good recovery. The *Neijing* states: "When Heat dominates internally, treat with salty-cold substances, assisted by bitter-sweet substances." It also states: "When Dampness transforms via Fire, and Heat overcomes it, treat with bitter-cold substances, using bitterness to drain, and blandness to leach out." Yin Chen and Zhi Zi are bitter-cold, capable of draining Damp-Heat and resolving jaundice, thus serving as the Sovereign (Jun) herbs. The *Nanjing* states they jointly manage epigastric fullness. Huang Lian and Zhi Shi are bitter-cold, draining epigastric fullness. The Lung (Fei) governs Qi; currently, Heat injures Qi, causing body numbness. Huang Qin is bitter-cold, draining Fire and tonifying Qi, thus serving as the Minister (Chen) herb. Bai Zhu and Cang Zhu are bitter-sweet-warm; Qing Pi is bitter-acrid-warm, capable of removing Damp-Heat in the Stomach, draining stagnation, and nourishing righteous Qi. Han Fang Ji is bitter-cold, removing retained Dampness from the twelve meridians. Ze Xie is salty-neutral; Fu Ling and Zhu Ling are sweet-neutral, guiding Damp-Heat from the Bladder, promoting urination, and relieving urinary obstruction.
