(《金匮》)大承气汤(方见伤寒门。)治 病,内实热壅,胸满切牙,用此下之。
(玉太仆曰∶厥者,气上逆也。手足寒,则为寒厥;手足热,则为热厥。又曰∶厥逆者,
则寒厥、热厥、气厥、风厥等,气逆上,或呕吐,或满闷,或胀,或气急,或暴不知人,世谓
香港脚冲心者是也。)
黄帝问曰∶厥之寒热者,何也?岐伯对曰∶阳气衰于下,则为寒厥;阴气衰于下,则为
热厥。
帝曰∶寒厥何如而然也?岐伯曰∶人质壮,以秋冬夺于所用,下气上争,不能复,精气溢
下,邪气因从之而上也。气因于中,由阳气衰,不能渗荣其经络,阳气日损,阴气独在,故手
足为之寒也。
又曰∶热厥何如而然也?岐伯曰∶酒入于胃则络满而经脉虚。阴气虚则气入,精气竭则
不营其四肢。此人必数醉入房,肾气独衰,阳气独盛,故手足为之热也。
帝曰∶厥令人腹满,或令人暴不知人,或至半日,远至一日,乃知人者,何也?岐伯
曰∶阴气盛于上则下虚,下虚则腹胀满;阳气盛于上则下气重上,而邪气逆,逆则阳气乱,
则不知人也,名曰尸厥。厥则暴死,气复至则生,不复则死是也。

(Dachengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) from *Jinkui Yaolue* treats Yangming Fu-organ excess syndrome, characterized by internal heat accumulation, chest fullness, and teeth grinding; use this formula to purge the excess.)
(Yu Taipu stated: Jue syndrome is caused by the counterflow of Qi upward. Cold hands and feet constitute Cold Jue; hot hands and feet constitute Hot Jue. Furthermore, Jue Ni (reversal of Qi) includes Cold Jue, Hot Jue, Qi Jue, and Wind Jue. It manifests as Qi reversing upward, accompanied by vomiting, chest oppression, abdominal distension, shortness of breath, or sudden unconsciousness. In common parlance, this is referred to as "Jiaojie rushing to the heart" (foot qi attacking the heart).)
The Yellow Emperor asked: What is the cause of cold and hot variations in Jue syndrome? Qibo replied: When Yang Qi declines at the lower part, it results in Cold Jue; when Yin Qi declines at the lower part, it results in Hot Jue.
The Emperor asked: How does Cold Jue form? Qibo said: In individuals with robust constitutions, if they overexert themselves during autumn and winter (depleting essence through sexual activity), the Qi below contends upward but cannot recover. Essence leaks downward, and pathogenic Qi follows it upward. The Qi becomes stagnant in the middle jiao. Due to the decline of Yang Qi, it fails to moisten and nourish the meridians. As Yang Qi diminishes day by day, Yin Qi remains alone and dominant, causing the hands and feet to become cold.
He further said: How does Hot Jue form? Qibo said: When wine enters the stomach, the collaterals become full while the main meridians become empty. If Yin Qi is deficient, Yang Qi enters inwardly; if essence and Qi are exhausted, the four limbs are not nourished. Such individuals likely engage in frequent drunken sexual intercourse, leading to isolated decline of Kidney Qi and isolated hyperactivity of Yang Qi, causing the hands and feet to become hot.
The Emperor asked: Why does Jue syndrome cause abdominal fullness, or sudden unconsciousness where the patient may remain so for half a day or up to a full day before regaining consciousness? Qibo said: When Yin Qi is excessive in the upper part, the lower part becomes deficient. Lower deficiency leads to abdominal distension and fullness. When Yang Qi is excessive in the upper part, Qi from the lower part rises heavily, and pathogenic Qi reverses upward. This reversal causes Yang Qi to become chaotic, leading to unconsciousness, known as Shi Jue (Corpse Jue). Jue syndrome may appear as sudden death; if Qi returns, the patient lives; if Qi does not return, the patient dies.
