Huangdi asked Jinyezi: "When a disease caused by fright presents with symptoms resembling Ben Tun (Rushing Pig), what is the pathology?" Jinyezi replied: "Ben Tun caused by fright involves palpitations in the heart, as if startled by a chariot canopy or terrified by people. The five Zang organs become unstable; food and drink are vomited immediately upon ingestion. There is fullness of Qi in the chest, mania and dementia with an urge to run, muttering while eyes are closed, and delirious speech when eyes are open. Sometimes the eyes and face are widened, refusing interaction. Physicians do not know how to treat it; the patient cries out feeling offended or indebted. Ben Tun Tang (Pursuing Pig Decoction) is the primary treatment." Huangdi said: "Excellent."
Huangdi asked Jinyezi: "How can one distinguish Ben Tun caused by worry and rumination from that caused by fright?" Jinyezi replied: "Ben Tun caused by worry and rumination involves Qi fullness supporting the heart region, irritability and confusion below the heart, aversion to hearing human voices, periodic attacks where the condition fluctuates between improvement and exacerbation, shallow breathing, cold extremities, internal heat and knotted pain, nausea with an urge to vomit. Physicians do not know how to treat it; the patient cries out feeling touched or offended. Ben Tun Tang is the primary treatment." Huangdi said: "Excellent."
The Master said: "Diseases resembling Ben Tun involve Qi rising from the lower abdomen and rushing up to the throat. During attacks, the patient feels as if dying, but recovers afterward. These are all caused by fright and terror, resulting from pus accumulation in the Kidney region."
The Master said: "Among diseases, there are Ben Tun, vomiting of pus, fright/terror, and Fire Evil. These four categories of disease all originate from fright. Those caused by Fire Evil are treated with Guizhi Jia Longgu Muli Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction plus Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell). If the onset follows sudden loss of wealth or persecution by officials due to fright, the treatment uses Owl heads and Lead Carbonate (Qian Dan), along with other unspecified ingredients. Regarding Ben Tun, it refers to the patient's Qi rebelling with panting and forcing upward, resembling the running of a pig. Ben Tun Tang is the primary treatment."
For treating sudden trauma, where eating causes pain on one side of the chest accompanied by trembling, and drinking water or broth produces similar effects, ask about the condition corresponding to these symptoms and urgently prepare this prescription.

Ben Tun Tang treats deficiency exhaustion damaging the Qi of the five Zang organs, allowing wandering Qi to return upward. When moving upward, it resembles a group of pigs chasing each other restlessly. Attacks occur suddenly like waking from a frightened dream. Essence and light are exhausted without luster, impotence occurs, pulling pain arises in the lower abdomen, intermittent fever with redness, mood swings, deafness, and dull vision are present. This formula addresses these conditions.

The state described as 'resembling Ben Tun' refers to the patient's Qi rushing upward like a running pig, characterized by panting and rebellious Qi. The term 'Ben Zhu' (Running Pig) in the formula name implies using male pigs fighting; they are driven to run, then slaughtered to use their blood and viscera in compounding the medicine. This is Gegen Ben Tun Tang (Kudzu Root Pursuing Pig Decoction).

Divide into doses of five he, taken three times during the day and twice at night. Avoid raw scallion, seaweed, and Chinese cabbage.
