治冬月伤寒诸方
治春夏温热病诸方
治秋月中冷（疟病）诸方
上三件
论曰∶古今相传，称伤寒为难治之病，天行温疫是毒病之气，而论治者，不别伤寒与天
行温疫为异气耳。云伤寒是雅士之辞，云天行温疫是田舍间号耳，不说病之异同也。考之
众经，其实殊矣。所宜不同，方说宜辨，是以略述其要焉。
《阴阳大论》云∶春气温和，夏气暑热，秋气清凉，冬气冰冽，此则四时正气之序也。
冬时严寒，万类深藏，君子周密，则不伤于寒。触冒之者，乃名伤寒耳。其伤于四时之气，
皆能为病，以伤寒为毒者，以其最成杀疠之气也。中而即病者，名曰伤寒；不即病者，寒毒
藏于肌肤中，至春变为温病，至夏变为暑病。暑病者，热极重于温也。是以辛苦之人，春夏
多温热病者，皆由冬时触冒寒冷之所致，非时行之气也。凡时行者，春时应暖而反大寒，夏
时应热而反大冷，秋时应凉反而大热，冬时应寒而反大温，此非其时而有其气。是以一岁之
中，长幼之病多相似者，此则时行之气也。
王叔和曰∶伤寒之病，逐日浅深，以施方治。今世人得伤寒，或始不早治，或治不对病，
或日数久淹，困乃告医。医又不知次第而治之，则不中病。皆以临时消息制方，无不效也。
今搜采仲景旧论，录其证候、诊脉声色、对病真方有神验者，拟防世急也。又土地高下，寒
温不同；物性刚柔，餐居亦异。是故黄帝兴四方之问，岐伯举四治之能，以训后贤，开其未
悟，临病之工，宜须两审也。
陈廪丘云∶或问∶得病连服汤药发汗，汗不出如之何？答曰∶医经云∶连发汗，汗不出
者死。吾思可蒸之，如蒸中风法。蒸湿之气于外迎之，不得不汗出也。后以问张苗，苗云∶
曾有人作事疲极汗出卧单簟，中冷得病，但苦寒蜷，诸医与丸、散、汤，四日之内，凡八发
汗，汗不出，苗令烧地布桃叶蒸之，即得大汗，于被中就粉敷身极燥，乃起便愈。后数以此
发汗，汗皆出也。人性自有难使汗出者，非但病使其然，蒸之无不汗出也。

[Background Information]
Book: Xiaopin Fang (Minor Formulas)
Chapter: Volume 6 / Various Formulas for Treating Winter Cold Damage
Category: Formula
[Translation]
The contents treated in Volume 6 of the Essential Formulas are as follows:
Various formulas for treating cold damage in winter;
Various formulas for treating warm-heat diseases in spring and summer;
Various formulas for treating cold invasion (malaria) in autumn.
These three categories above.
Discussion states: From ancient times to the present, it has been passed down that cold damage is a difficult disease to treat, while epidemic febrile diseases caused by heaven's movement are due to toxic qi. However, those discussing treatment do not distinguish between cold damage and epidemic febrile diseases as different pathogenic factors. Some say "cold damage" is the term used by scholars, while "epidemic febrile disease" is the colloquialism among farmers, without explaining the similarities and differences of the diseases. Examining various classics, there are indeed differences. The appropriate treatments differ, and the explanations of formulas should be distinguished; therefore, I briefly outline the essentials.
The *Yin Yang Da Lun* (Great Treatise on Yin and Yang) states: Spring climate is mild, summer climate is hot and humid, autumn climate is cool, and winter climate is icy cold; this is the order of the normal qi of the four seasons. In winter, severe cold causes all things to hide deeply. If gentlemen live carefully and prudently, they will not be injured by cold. Those who expose themselves to it are said to have contracted cold damage. Injury by the qi of the four seasons can all cause illness. Among them, cold damage is considered most toxic because it forms the most killing and pestilential qi. Those who contract it and fall ill immediately are called "cold damage"; those who do not fall ill immediately harbor the cold toxin in their skin and muscles. By spring, it transforms into warm disease; by summer, it transforms into heat disease. Heat disease is more severe than warm disease. Therefore, hardworking people often suffer from warm-heat diseases in spring and summer, which are caused by exposure to cold in winter, not by the qi of the time. Whenever there is an epidemic, it refers to situations where spring should be warm but is instead very cold, summer should be hot but is instead very cold, autumn should be cool but is instead very hot, and winter should be cold but is instead very warm. This is having the qi of one season in another season. Thus, throughout the year, the illnesses of young and old are often similar; this is the qi of the time (epidemic qi).
Wang Shuhe said: The disease of cold damage progresses daily from superficial to deep, requiring different formulas for treatment. Nowadays, when people get cold damage, some do not treat it early, some receive incorrect treatment, or they delay until they are exhausted before consulting a doctor. Doctors, not knowing the sequence of treatment, fail to cure the disease. They only adjust formulas temporarily based on circumstances, yet achieve efficacy. Now, I have collected Zhang Zhongjing's old theories, recorded his symptoms, pulse diagnosis, observation of complexion and voice, and true formulas effective against specific diseases, intending to prepare for emergencies in the world. Furthermore, land varies in elevation, leading to different cold and warmth; material natures vary in rigidity and flexibility, and dietary habits also differ. Thus, Huangdi raised questions about the four directions, and Qibo proposed the abilities of four treatments to instruct later generations, opening up what was previously ununderstood. Practitioners facing diseases must examine both aspects.
Chen Linqiu said: Someone asked: If after taking decoctions continuously to induce sweating, no sweat comes out, what should be done? I replied: Medical classics state: Continuous sweating with no sweat coming out leads to death. I thought of using steaming methods, similar to the method for steaming wind-stroke. Using moist heat from outside to counteract the pathogen inevitably induces sweating. Later, I asked Zhang Miao about this. Zhang Miao said: Once, someone became extremely fatigued from work, sweated, lay on a bamboo mat, and fell ill due to cold. He suffered only from aversion to cold and curling up. Various doctors gave pills, powders, and decoctions, inducing sweating eight times within four days, but no sweat came out. Zhang Miao ordered the floor to be heated and peach leaves spread for steaming. Immediately, profuse sweating occurred. Powder was applied to the body under the blanket to keep it dry, after which he rose and recovered. Subsequently, using this method repeatedly always induced sweating. Human constitutions naturally vary in the ability to sweat; it is not just the disease that causes difficulty, but steaming invariably induces sweating.
Decree-issued Sweating Baiwei San, for treating cold damage unresolved after two days.
Baiwei (Cynanchum Atratum Root), 2 liang; Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba), 7 fen, remove joints; Xingren (Prunus Armeniaca Seed), remove skin and tips, stir-fry; Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus), each 3 fen.

Drink at a moderate temperature in one dose. Cover with blankets to induce sweating; applying powder to the body is effective. Avoid seaweed and Chinese cabbage.

Space doses by the time it takes to cook 3 dou of rice. Finish all doses. Recovery occurs upon sweating. Avoid seaweed, Chinese cabbage, raw green onion, vinegar, peaches, plums, sparrow meat, etc.
For treating cold damage lasting 7-8 days, with internal excess and stagnant heat accumulation, yellow body like orange peel, difficult urination, slight abdominal fullness, use Yinchen Tang to purge.
