Pi (Pijie, a condition characterized by obstruction and accumulation) refers to blockage; Jie refers to solid accumulation. Heat qi accumulates between the chest and diaphragm, while retained fluids gather within the abdomen and hypochondrium. Consequently, Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi) cannot circulate smoothly, and the Zang-Fu organs cannot function in harmony. Thus, distension and fullness develop into Pi-Jie, which is the natural progression of the disease. This is a syndrome of excess heat. Occasionally, it manifests as high fever. The primary treatment is Gan Sui San from *Taiping Shenghui Fang* (Sanctified惠民 Formulary).
This prescription treats pediatric Pi-Jie. Although administration of decoctions may temporarily promote bowel movement, the internal stagnation and pathogenic solids remain unresolved. Symptoms include hardness and distension in the epigastrium ("Xin Xia"), with crying upon palpation, along with various signs of latent heat within. These factors contribute to this ailment. Treatment should focus on promoting bowel movements, breaking up accumulations, and dispersing stagnant Qi. Subsequently, patients should regularly consume Jin Shi Wan (Appetizing Pill).
**Shenghui Gan Sui Po Jie San** (Gansui Breakup Accumulation Powder from *Shenghui Fang*): Treats pediatric chest and heart Pi-Jie, where phlegm and water accumulate.

It also treats food accumulation syndromes, "Ru Pi" (breast lumps), Qi hernia, and Pi-Jie. For children with heat-solid in the chest and diaphragm, and retained fluids in the abdomen causing obstruction of Ying and Wei and dysfunction of Zang-Fu Qi, resulting in abdominal Qi knotting and distension or high fever, this formula is suitable for regular use to promote bowel movements, break accumulations, and disperse Qi.
