Note: Hou Bi Xionghuang Huadu Dan (Realgar Antidote Pill) is the same as Xionghuang Jiedu Wan (Realgar Detoxification Pill), so it is recorded here.

Cheng Jingyu said: According to Chen Gengdao's methods, none are not combining cooling and dispersing. This deeply grasps the principle that "exterior pathogenic factor is the root, fire blazing is the branch." Therefore, the formulation is orderly and logical, making its efficacy miraculous.
However, in epidemic diseases, some have dampness internalized, some have sudden cold with old stagnation and blood stasis, some have excess pathogen and deficient healthy qi. These are common variations in epidemics. I have collected the established methods of former sages and attached them below.

Yisha (Epidemic Miasma and Sand) is contagious, but Liu Qi (Six Qi) and Ba Feng (Eight Winds) are not. Why? Because Liu Qi and Ba Feng can be known and avoided, whereas Yi (Epidemic Miasma) cannot be known or avoided by smell. The Six Excesses (Liu Yin) originally come from Taihe (Great Harmony) as the annual climate ruling heaven. When they permeate excessively, this is why it is called "excess" (Yin). However, if there were no such qi pushing and operating in the world, the way of generation, transformation, storage, and collection would cease. Thus, Qibo said that people should know to avoid Liu Qi and Ba Feng. Cold is known as cold, heat as heat, wind-dampness-dryness-fire as wind-dampness-dryness-fire. Thus, the silent operation of Liu Yin can be verified and known. Moreover, the stealthy arrival of Ba Feng is unknown and unguarded against. Therefore, although severe cold and heat prevail, violent winds and heavy rains occur suddenly, the qi seems fiercer than seasonal pathogens, yet there is no risk of contagion. This is precisely because they can be known and avoided. Only Yi (Epidemic Miasma) is unknowable. Sometimes the year does not match, or the heavenly sign does not correspond, or it is humiliated by what is below, or dominates alone what rules above. Its arrival is untimely, its form is indefinite. It mixes within the Six Excesses, flows among the Eight Winds, invades the Xuancuo (pores) without being felt, and breathes without awareness. Humans exist in the intersection of qi, covered by the transformation of qi, just as white silk can be dyed. Unless one has a solid constitution, who can remain unstained? Thus, infection spreads from person to person, like magnet attracting iron. Depending on the depth of infection, severity varies. One person catches it, and the wind moves in all directions. The I Ching says: "It ties an ox," and also: "The disaster of the townsmen." Therefore, one must adapt with the times. Although the five categories cause disasters, even if known, once infected, avoidance fails as it spreads vigorously. Is this not to be feared!

Heaven has untimely qi, earth has drought and flood biases. Upper and lower rub against each other, swirling and stirring, causing clear yang to fail to ascend and turbid yin to fail to descend. Accumulating internally is called Wen (Plague); scattering externally is called Zhang (Miasma). Sinking and wanting to descend but failing is called Mai (Haze); covering fog wanting to ascend but failing is called Wu (Fog). These are all stagnant qi of heaven and earth, overflowing without release, touching all things, driving disasters, called Tian Xing (Heavenly Movement). Thus, its driving of things is like heaven's command, hence called Yi (Epidemic); its harshness on humans is like thunder's fury, hence called Li (Pestilence). Its infection grows secretly and darkly, so its accumulation is deep; its outbreak releases everything without remainder, so its onset is violent. Those covered by its qi, whether plants, birds, beasts, grains, or insects, whatever has spiritual mechanism or qi establishment, external or internal roots, are all affected. Thus, chickens and dogs often die from pestilence, crops are damaged by pests. Humans infected suffer alternating sand and throat diseases, filling streets and villages. Its肆虐 (ferocity) is fiercer than Eight Winds, and its contagion is stricter than Six Qi. Within Yi, there is a meaning. Yisha seasonal qi, inhaled through nose and mouth, enters Taiyin Qi level, causing Lanhou (Rotting Throat); entering Yangming Blood level causes Fa Sha (Erupting Sand). Taiyin is the Lung organ, governing the throat and miasma qi; Yangming is the Stomach organ, governing the pharynx and belonging to muscles. The throat connects to breathing qi, circulating through the five zang organs; the pharynx is the pathway for food and drink, the source of the six fu organs. Thus, the throat governs heavenly qi, the pharynx governs earthly qi. Therefore, inhaled through nose and mouth, transmitted through throat and pharynx, the Lung and Stomach intersect. One zang and one fu simultaneously receive epidemic evil, one qi and one blood present their images respectively. Thus, Lanhou (Rotting Throat) is mostly white, disease in Lung, belonging to Qi; Fa Sha (Erupting Sand) is mostly red, disease in Stomach, belonging to Blood. In reality, it is the same disease, one erupting in the throat region, one reaching the muscle layer. Changing steps changes form, keeping form changes name. Thus, in Lung it is called Lanhou, in Stomach it is called Fa Sha, hence named Lanhou Sha (Rotting Throat and Sand).

Toxic evil damages form, form swells and ulcerates, Yisha has this, hence it is said there is poison in Yi. Yi means stagnation, i.e., turbid yin earth qi stagnating and not dispersing, returning to humans as pestilence, hence called Yi. Former sages Wu Youke and Ye Tianshi all discussed plague under one term, while Wu Juzhong unified it as Warm Disease. The names were undivided but the reality differed. Wen (Plague) is Wen (Warmth), which is the warm qi ruling heaven fermenting and flowing, accumulating in all things to cause disaster, hence called Wen. Wen disease without swelling is due to the warm qi fermenting from ruling heaven; Yisha with swelling is rooted in turbid yin stagnating earth qi epidemic poison turbid wen poison. One is in Qi, one is in Blood. The Classic says: Throat governs heaven and earth, pharynx governs earth. Heaven and earth in Qi are clear yang and turbid yin; in humans, they are Qi and Blood. Thus, the difference between Lanhou and Fa Sha in epidemic diseases divides human hand clear yang/turbid yin and Qi/Blood. The human body's Hand Taiyin governs Qi, but its meridian actually has much Qi and Blood, so Lanhou has two types: red rot and white decay, which are the Qi and Blood of Hand Taiyin. Foot Yangming governs muscles, because its meridian has abundant Qi and Blood, so Fa Sha has two types: Dan Sha (Red Sand) and Bai Zhen (White Rash), which are the Qi and Blood of Foot Yangming. Among Dan Sha, eruption relates to Blood; poison affects Blood, causing deterioration and color change, thus skin gradually swells, revealing sand points, externally presenting as epidemic toxic evil wandering in Stomach meridians, transmitting from Blood level to emerge. Like other pathogens resolving through sweat, because other pathogens have no poison, sweat resolves them. Only epidemic evil has poison, and poison must damage form, so it may cause itching, pain, rotting, or bleeding, until blood-level poison fully penetrates. Also examining Measles and Smallpox: Measles erupt innate Yang poison; Smallpox erupts innate Yin poison. Although they erupt what should erupt, they must borrow Tian Xing seasonal qi to guide them before human body poison can exit. Tian Xing is Yi (Epidemic). From this perspective, similar qi attracts; Yi can trigger Smallpox and Measles poison, proving Yi contains poison without need for clarification. Then, for Sha and Hou disease, although innate poison may be absent, seasonal poison symptoms must exist, certainly not comparable to Smallpox and Measles. One can also use Smallpox and Measles as analogies, making it clear that Sha actually erupts from epidemic poison.

Lanhou and Sha are diseases of both Qi and Blood, with different internal and external forms. Zhu Tieshan from Yunjian independently proposed the theory that "Sha is root, Hou is branch." This shows ignorance that Qi and Blood forms should differ. His argument states that when Sha evil erupts, throat swelling and pain appear first. This is malignant evil; Sha子是 root, throat cough is branch. Physicians focused on throat, ignoring Sha points, abandoning root for branch, adhering to *Neijing* saying "all pain belongs to Fire, redness and swelling belong to Heat," urgently advancing cold-cooling to suppress malignant evil, causing weak patients' conditions to worsen. Physicians still claimed disease was heavy, medicine light, doubling cold-cooling. Sha poison sinks internally, throat closes, epidemic rises, life ends. Know that head and face swelling and redness are signs of Sha poison reaching externally. Justly disperse and open up, poison naturally remains. Only wait for swelling to recede, sand to return, clear鼻涕 to flow from nose, then advance cooling-blood clearing-resolving, all achieve rapid effect. According to Tieshan, initially suitable for dispersion, subsequently suitable for cooling-blood, truly knowing sequence. If taking Fa Sha as root suitable for dispersion, Lanhou as branch suitable for cooling, then Yi has two evils, one disease two treatments. Since Sha evil eruption, Qi and Blood are divided, Sha and Hou have no root/branch. Treatment methods should all base on Sha, always resolve first then cool, or cool and resolve simultaneously. Cannot take Sha as root for dispersion and Hou as branch for cooling. As for *Neijing* "all pain belongs to Fire, redness and swelling belong to Heat," physicians adhere to theory, is Sha/Hou not classic? Also says "Fire stagnation emits." If physicians further adhere to this to treat Yi, then for Sha/Hou disease, nothing remains. The intent of *Neijing* is originally detailed, but leading the interest of classics becomes obscure. Not the fault of adherence, but fault of rigid adherence. If Chen Gengdao's Yisha prescription discusses "Exterior evil is branch, Fire blazing is root," these two phrases indeed deeply understand root and branch principles. My friend Hong Lichuan should say "Sha and Hou disease, names differ, but essentially one disease presenting internally and externally." Pondering these words, truly one phrase breaks through, extending to treat Yi grasps the essence.

Yisha disease essentially involves mutual knotting of Heat and Toxic Evil forming, ripening into surplus of Fire, so Heat winning causes swelling; Toxic Evil is accumulation of filth, so Toxic Evil winning damages skin. However, Heat is not resolved without cooling, and Toxic Evil is not removed without aromaticity. Taking "Cooling Clearing, Detoxifying Resolving, Aromatic Dispelling Filth" as eight characters for treating Yi essentials, then viewing Qi and Blood heaviness, adapting with symptoms, treating Yi methods do not exceed this eight-character scope. Regarding Tuina and Acupuncture, methods are most ancient, main purport mostly set for Bi Syndrome (Obstruction). Bi means Qi mechanism blocked, unable to circulate. The meaning of needle is like inserting a tube into water, closing top makes bottom not exit, piercing side gap makes water self-exit. So when human suffers Bi obstruction, puncture acupoints to open Qi, massage hair follicles to vent Qi, not implying acupuncture can drain toxic evil. Once poison enters meridians, how can a tiny needle make poison drain? Thus acupuncture methods have tonification and sedation. If Yin deficiency Fire hyperactivity, Blood not nourishing meridians causing obstruction, or Cold congealing meridians causing Painful Bi, needling is to sedate Qi and make it pass, yet fearing meridian Qi over-draining, thus using needle tonification to close it. If disease is not Bi syndrome, no need to use acupuncture much, merely damaging meridians. Thus *Suwen* says "Ascending, descending, exiting, entering, no vessel lacks them." Exiting and entering closed means vital transformation ceases. Thus needle use lies in opening, not draining poison. Sha/Hou disease not complicated by Wind-Cold exterior constraint, only suitable for venting outward, forbid using warm-dry releasing-surface. Because Yi is Yang evil, and releasing mostly Yang medicines, moving consumes Stomach Jin and Kidney fluids. Without chest-knotting internal-sinking symptoms, only suitable for sweet-cool clearing-heat, forbid using bitter-cold digestion-promoting. Often Sha momentum is about to reach, reversedly suppressed by cold-cooling. Thus Ye Tianshi regarded releasing and digestion-promoting as major taboos for Yi families, intent profound. I believe Yi roots in Heat, although inhaled through nose/mouth, Lung/Stomach feel evil, but like attracts like, Ministerial and Sovereign Fires should internally respond, thus often directly spreading Sanjiao, reverse transmitting to delicate collaterals, so evil is interior not exterior. Using dry agents to release surface is heavily emptying exterior and falsely solidifying interior, forcing internal sinking. If infected from Xuancuo, infection did not manage Yingwei, disease is exterior not interior, using downward agents to guide makes interior Qi weaker, exterior evil stronger, also drawing evil inward. Thus releasing and digestion-promoting both cause delay. Examining various discussions, often saying initial loss of surface, mistakenly using cold-cooling, suppressing evil, true words, real insight. But fear rigid people, not observing exterior-interior reasons, not distinguishing disease severity, regarding cold-cooling as fearful path, worshipping releasing as standard, preconceptions truly harm. Thus certain Mountain Chen Gengdao said essential of treating Yi, at first eruption, see trend smooth or adverse, suitable to disperse or cool, decide without error, this is old eye. This argument truly has courage and discernment, balancing center, thus citing former sages' two theories extending them, clarifying medication direction, heavy cases do not stick to fixed patterns.

Organ qualities have superiority and bias, respiration governance Qi has no second breath. If Lung Qi solid and Stomach Qi deficient, Stomach fu receives evil, suitable to erupt Sha not rotting Throat; if Lung Qi deficient and Stomach Qi solid, Lung organ feels epidemic, suitable to rot Throat not erupt Sha. Why erupt Sha often does not rot Throat, rotting Throat mostly accompanies erupting Sha? Green Lung governs respiration, voice/breath/diet relies on Stomach. Besides Lung meridian starts from Middle Jiao, descends connecting Stomach upper opening贲门 area, Lung home seeing rotting Throat, Throat poison follows inhalation into Stomach, Stomach home absorbing Lung poison, thus must accompany erupting Sha, even slightly imperceptible, must have vague skin nourishment. This rotting Throat all erupt Sha, thereby also *Neijing* says "Yang disease ascends to extreme then descends," thus Lung disease Stomach just ascends to extreme then descends, smooth. Stomach disease not harming Lung, because Yi is Yang evil, should not descend to extreme then ascend, also smooth. Thus erupt Sha often not rotting Throat, rotting Throat mostly accompanying erupting Sha, thereby again.

Treating Throat for Lung is certainly correct, but should prevent involving Stomach, reasons are two. *Neijing* says: "Throat is front, shape firm; Pharynx is back, quality soft." Front and back have distinction, but between Xuan Yong and Hui Yan, dividing Qi and Food tubes, rotting place is Throat-Pharynx interaction zone, Lung-Stomach undifferentiated area, how can treat Lung ignore Stomach? This Stomach cannot be neglected reason one. Again Throat-Pharynx respiration/voice/diet relies on Stomach following like shadow from form, more should prevent Stomach home, this Stomach cannot be neglected reason two. Thus said: Treating Throat preventing Stomach is Superior Physician treating pre-disease.

Sha smooth/adverse mostly first erupting chest/back then limbs is smooth, first from head/face then legs/feet is also smooth. And Sha color focuses on red uniformity, not quantity. Like fresh red fine fragmented, touching leaves mark is auspicious; surrounding uniform, skin itching is also auspicious; slowly reaching, emerging from inside is also auspicious. All these, though many like cloud brocade, not ominous. If suddenly like red paper is Stomach Heat extreme, wrapping purple and black is Heat-Toxic scorching Yin Blood, all black is Stomach rotting incurable. But black and dark bright must be in Qi-Blood sufficient person, urgently advance cooling-blood clearing-heat, occasionally one or two recover; only black and dark must die. If Sha although black, four sides faintly carrying red color is Fire Stagnation internal埋伏, largely use cooling-blood detoxifying, still hope turning red treatable. If suddenly shape extinguishes, spirit confused is internal sinking; skin itching, Yingwei still harmonious; skin dry no sweat, Toxin scorching fluid dry, difficult to penetrate. After Sha penetrates, placing white blisters repeatedly is not Sha bean erupting, but Heat-Toxic extreme, insufficient to exhaust poison, thus placing adds white blisters, blisters large with pus mostly ominous. After Sha residual toxin erupts on cheeks/neck difficult to treat, after sweat Sha hides dangerous, four limbs edema bright mostly defeat, within ten days...

Throat small granules, color mostly white, is evil erupting Taiyin Qi level, hence folk sometimes Throat-Lung White Rot name. If having latent Cold or carrying Damp-Evil, rot traces also mostly white. Mostly white is Lung Metal original color, no relation to severity. If white and rotten, shape like rice paper, is Qi level greatly injured, difficult to treat. If white rotting Throat expands, penetrating nostrils, folk name Heavenly White Ant, difficult to treat. If color appears fresh red and red dots, is epidemic in Taiyin Blood level, insufflating medicine produces much saliva, Heat although strong but fluid not yet injured, easy to treat; if insufflating medicine no saliva produced, Fluid greatly deficient, difficult to treat. If after Sha penetrates rotting Throat especially severe, is exterior toxin loose, interior toxin fierce, belongs to dangerous symptom. If Throat inside rotten and outside swollen and hard, is Toxin knotting Throat middle, no way to excrete, although treat if rotting to Throat bottom seeing no good flesh is defeat, mostly dying within five days. Rotting Throat sneezing, Lung mechanism opening discharge is auspicious; hiccups, Toxin Fire reversing upward is ominous; choking coughing, Toxin Fire attacking shooting Lung system is dangerous; frequent sound coughing, Evil袭 Lung meridian is auspicious; rotting Throat not coughing is dangerous; losing voice, Lung Heat leaf scorched; shortness of breath, Heat strong scorching Metal.

Sha symptom face swelling eyes red, because Yi is Yang evil, and head is gathering of all Yang meridians, by Yang overcoming Yang, thus head/eyes often see red swelling. And Wu Youke *Wenyi Lun* says swelling is accompanied by edema erupting, also says interior evil lost surface, interior-exterior Qi stagnation resulting. According to these two symptoms or also have, but Yi swelling is *Neijing* "Heat winning causes swelling" swelling, although no accompanying symptoms should see swelling.

Sha pulse suitable string-numerate orderly, forbid soft-weak disorderly. If deep and hidden, is evil not reached out, should advance dispersing-reaching; numerate-large and empty, is Zheng weak evil winning, should not injure Zheng Qi; Yang symptom seeing Yin pulse difficult to treat.

Face color red and bright is Fire strong, blue and sluggish is Toxin strong internal埋伏, white and dull is Wind埋伏 Cold Evil, blue-dark and Throat not rotten or not severely rotten is latent Damp Evil. Treating method, in Cold-Damp attaching treating with pungent-hot, Damp-Heat attaching treating with pungent-cool.

Nose coal is Stomach meridian starting from Shan Gen, Stomach Heat extreme and root responding, thus coal nose red and fanning is Nose is Lung orifice, Lung-Stomach Qi both Heat injured, Zheng Qi unsupported wanting to end. Initially one cluster black surrounding nose, is Stomach home埋伏 Toxin already severe. Nosebleed is Stomach meridian below挟 nostril, Stomach Heat surging Blood upward, overflowing from nasal orifice out.

Tongue coating gray and greasy is Damp-Heat ascending, evil not transforming Fire; pure white and greasy is latent carrying Cold Evil, all suitable dispersing-reaching. Tongue red many prickles is evil transformed Fire, suitable clearing-transforming; tongue crimson middle black is Fluid deficient, suitable saving Fluid; tongue white middle crimson is exterior binding Cold Evil, suitable dual-resolving; tongue crimson and shrinking is Heat sinking Heart Camp, suitable nourishing Yin; tongue coating yellow thick is Heat about to resolve, suitable clearing Stomach Heat.

Lip crimson is Yangming meridian circling lip, is Stomach Fluid deficient; lip purple and cracked is Stomach Fluid exhausted, suitable saving Fluid.

Delirious speech is Evil sinking Heart Chamber; not delirious but snoring sleep confused, Throat has phlegm sound, is Toxin Fog blocking Clear Palace, most prevent internal sinking.

Vomiting nausea, relying on draining Stomach Heat is auspicious; wanting to vomit not vomiting, dry恶心 spirit dull, is Stomach evil about to invade Heart Camp.

Stool closed, Stomach has dry feces Fire knot; abdominal pain, most forbid闷Sha.

Chills is exterior evil invading Wei; chills then heat, is evil entered Wei, then follows Wei Qi exiting-entering, thus constant heat not repeating chills. Treating method, must seize before heat, or during alternating chills-heat, disperse and reach, block entering Ying road.

Having sweat, Heart Fluid sufficient is auspicious; no sweat, Heart Fluid deficient, prevent internal sinking.

Foot no sweat, is Yi Yang disease, Yang disease situation should ascend to extreme then descend, evil not reaching foot Yin, thus foot should no sweat, not related to sweat not everywhere.

Loose stool color dark, because Large Intestine is Lung exterior, is evil from surface releasing, exactly resolution opportunity. If black bright shiny, sticky like lacquer, is Heat extreme side-flow, reversedly not beautiful. Cover Yi Toxin evil internally interfering Zang-Fu, in Zheng Qi vigorous person, then evil flows Intestine-Fu, from stool releasing, Fu toxin can drive out; if symptom deficient evil solid person, then evil spreads Sanjiao, staying Intestine-Stomach, robbing injuring Yin Blood, rotting fat paste, invading no place to excrete, overflowing from Earth Path side-flow out, shape like blood clot formed, unbearable stench.有形 Evil although released,无形 Toxin just rising, do not say bandit gone city empty, is full middle overflowing outside, urgently use heavy rescue clearing-transforming to clean Zang-Fu evil, cannot continue hesitating, mistaking evil from surface releasing. This Heat extreme side-flow one symptom, life-death major key, fortunately do not ignore.

Rotting Throat and Mouth-Nose, have Tooth Gangrene Cheek Penetration etc. symptoms, their Qi all erupt from mouth, not from Throat inside reaching out. If no Tooth Gangrene etc. symptoms but foul Qi pressing, from Throat middle reaching out, is Lung-Stomach rotting腐 mechanism. Trace although not shaped but mechanism already exposed, Rotting Throat news depends on Stench Heavy/Light, not merely Throat rotting Deep/Shallow. If smelling this Qi, regardless of rotting or not, urgently advance cooling-clearing detoxifying, treating pre-disease, this called Superior Physician.

Mouth is Spleen orifice, Stomach is Spleen exterior, and Stomach meridian starts nose upper forehead,挟 mouth circling cheek, thus Stomach Heat extreme and ascending, then mouth-lip rot-swelling thorns. With pus color red, Yi Heat although strong not entered Yin Camp; color purple or black, Yin Blood moved, is dangerous, but compared to Mouth-Nose symptom belongs slightly lighter. If only mouth rot color purple-black, still not absolute symptom. But Mouth-Nose all have not mouth-rot but mouth-rot definitely no not-stench, distinguishing place. One from mouth exhaling, one only lip outside hard to smell. Method above use light-dispersing, below clear Stomach Heat, according to situation guiding, upper-lower combined cover, then no omission.

Teeth are Kidney remainder, Gingiva is Stomach collateral. Stomach Yin scorched consumed, then Kidney Water source difficult to balance, and middle Fire responds shaking as Thunder. Stomach Fluid Kidney Fluid source root one style, Gingiva Teeth Lips Teeth collaterals connected, thus Stomach
