The nephew of Governor Qiu, courtesy name Zhanshan Weng, was from Huaiyin. In his twenties, he suffered from tendon spasms in both hands, with fingers trembling and unable to flex or extend; the muscles of his arms wasted away, his body emaciated, complexion pale, and his sleep and appetite significantly decreased. Various physicians in the market treated him without success, so he left himself to be treated by several renowned experts in Jingkou for half a year, yet his muscles diminished further and his complexion grew more haggard. Hearing that I was residing in the office of the Wu Ministry Official, they earnestly requested my treatment. Upon palpating his pulse, all six positions (Cun, Guan, Chi on both wrists) were wiry (Xian Mai), becoming slightly relaxed upon heavy pressure. After finishing the pulse diagnosis, I inquired about the origin of the disease. The Governor stated: "At the end of last winter, I suddenly experienced alternating chills and fever accompanied by bone and tendon pain. By mid-spring, although the chills and fever subsided, the bone and tendon pain did not diminish. Medication was taken daily without fail, sometimes three or four times a day when severe. Gradually, the flesh wasted away, and the finger tremors became uncontrollable, appearing worse than before. Every physician who came diagnosed it as 'wind'—one said wind, two said wind, and the third through sixth also said wind. Even among a dozen practitioners, all unanimously attributed it to wind. They exhausted their skills and prescriptions, yet achieved no effect. He lies dying in bed, completely unaware of what disease this is." I replied to the Governor: "This is Tendon Atrophy (Jin Wei Zheng). It results from immoderate sexual activity in youth leading to susceptibility to Wind-Dampness, allowing pathogenic factors to enter due to deficiency. The physicians failed to consider the seasonal climate and distinguish between the Six Channels (Liu Jing), instead uniformly applying diaphoretic (sweating) methods. Zhang Zhongjing's method for treating Wind-Dampness involves inducing only slight perspiration, thereby eliminating both Wind and Dampness. If profuse sweating occurs, the Wind is expelled but Dampness remains, leading to exhaustion of both Qi and Blood. The Classic states: 'Yang Qi, in its refined aspect, nourishes the Spirit; in its soft aspect, it nourishes the Tendons.' When deficient, the Tendons lack nourishment, gradually developing into atrophy and weakness; this is a deficiency disorder. Therefore, Chen Wuzhe, Zhu Danxi, and Liu Zongnong all asserted that various forms of Atrophy must never be treated as Wind disorders; misdiagnosis leads to chronic, intractable diseases." The Governor, hearing this, exclaimed in astonishment: "He has taken nearly two hundred doses of Wind-dispelling medicines. Now that it has become a chronic condition, what can be done?" I replied: "Your nephew is still young; there is hope for recovery." The Governor asked: "What method should be used?" I said: "The treatment principle should be to greatly tonify Qi and Blood. The Classic states: 'Qi primarily provides warmth; Blood primarily provides moistening.' When Qi and Blood are abundant, the Tendons become supple and soft, thereby able to bind the bones and facilitate joint movement. How could there be trembling then!" The patient, hearing this, was overjoyed: "Listening to your detailed explanation of the disease's origin and treatment principles, although I have not yet taken medicine, I already feel the burden of illness lifting from my body!" He immediately requested a prescription. I prescribed herbs such as Acanthopanacis Cortex (Wujia Pi), Coicis Semen (Yiyiren), Carthami Flos (Honghua), Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen), Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum (Lujiao Jiao), Testudinis et Plastrum (Guiban), Ossis Tigris (Hugu), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui), Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix (Danshen), Rehmanniae Radix (Dihuang), Drynariae Rhizoma (Gusuibu), and Xanthii Fructus (Cangerzi). After taking the decoction for two months, the muscles gradually regenerated, dietary intake increased significantly, and the trembling of both hands subsided and returned to normal.
