Prolonged cough leading to Lung萎 (Lung atrophy).
Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus), Tianmendong (Asparagi Radix), Kuandonghua (Adenophorae Flos) (each 3 qian), Tianhuafen (Trichosanthis Radix), Yiyiren (Coicis Semen), Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus) (each 2 qian), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Douding (Campanulae Radix), Ziwan (Asteris Radix), Baihe (Lilii Bulbus), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix), Zisu (Perillae Folium), Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba), Baibu (Stemonae Radix) (each 1.5 qian).
Take the above herbs, add two zhan of water and three slices of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger), decoct until one zhan remains, add one spoonful of Yitang (Malt Sugar) to mix and take orally, three times a day, one zhong after each meal, alternating with Baozhen Tang.
If blood heat is severe, add Chao Puhuang (Processed Lygodii Spora), Qiangengen (Rubiae Radix), Oujiie (Nelumbinis Nodus), Daji (Taraxaci Herba), Xiaoji (Cirsii Herba), Maohua (Imperatae Inflorescence), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix).
If phlegm is excessive, add Nanting (Arisaematis Rhizoma Preparatum), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Fuling (Poria), Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), Zhiqiao (Aurantii Fructus).
If wheezing is severe, add Sangbaipi (Mori Cortex), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Luobozhi (Raphani Semen), Tinglizi (Descurainiae Semen seu Lepidii Semen), Suzi (Perillae Fructus).
If heat is intense, add Shanzhizi (Gardeniae Fructus), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), Kuandonghua (Adenophorae Flos).
If wind is predominant, add Jingjie (Schizonepetae Herba), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Juhua (Chrysanthemi Flos), Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma), Xuanfuhua (Inulae Flos).
If cold is severe, add Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Lapian (Prepared Aconiti Lateralis Radix), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix).
(Pan's Note): This formula shares ten ingredients with Taiping Wan. Since Ning Sou Jin Dan is already available, there is no need to take this decoction. Yiyiren (Coicis Semen), along with Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix) and Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus), are found in *Qianjin Fang* and *Waitai Miyao*, used to treat Lung atrophy; Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) and Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) are from *Jinkui Yaolue*, a formula for treating Lung cold.
Ziwan (Asteris Radix), Kuandonghua (Adenophorae Flos), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus), Baibu (Stemonae Radix), Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix), Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini), Douding (Campanulae Radix), Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) are also collected from various formulas in *Waitai Miyao* that stop coughing and generate fluids; this is what is meant by compound formulas. In lung disorders, Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) should not be used lightly.
(Chen Xiuyuan's Note): This formula treats prolonged cough merely by collecting herbs that promote qi circulation, resolve phlegm, clear fire, and relieve depression, valuing quantity over quality, without grasping the key pathogenesis. Considering its suitability, Baibu (Stemonae Radix) and Kuandonghua (Adenophorae Flos) are bitter and warm, unsuitable for post-blood deficiency; Douding (Campanulae Radix), Tianhuafen (Trichosanthis Radix), and Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum) are also contraindicated for middle jiao deficiency; Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus), Tianmendong (Asparagi Radix), Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix), Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini), and Baihe (Lilii Bulbus) are cold and cloying, with weak efficacy. How different are they from the indiscriminate combinations sold by street doctors? However, this formula appears frequently in major works, such as those by Imperial Physician Gong in the Ming Dynasty, and books like *Wanbing Huichun* and *Shoushi Baoyuan*. Although the names vary slightly and ingredients occasionally differ, village doctors often see results. I previously attributed patients' survival not to this formula but to their own vitality, forgetting it upon seeing it. Now, having obtained this book, I realize that "when rites are lost, seek them in the wild," finding great talent among the common people! I regret my previous narrow-mindedness. Ultimately, I did not grasp the essence of this formula. It seems to rely on even formulas rather than odd ones, repeating formulas when one fails, much like Han Xin leading troops: the more, the better. There is indeed method in its heaviness and lightness. The addition of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) provides acrid-warmness to moisten the lungs, and Yitang (Malt Sugar) provides sweetness to strengthen the spleen (earth) to generate metal (lungs),
