问曰。病有结胸。有脏结。其状何如。答曰。按之痛。寸脉浮。关脉沉。名曰结胸
也。何谓脏结。答曰。如结胸状。饮食如故。时时下利。寸脉浮。关脉小细沉紧。名曰
脏结。舌上白苔滑者。难治。
结胸者。邪结在胸。脏结者。邪结在脏。二者皆下后邪气乘虚入里所致。下后邪
气入里。与阳相结者。为结胸。以阳受气于胸中故尔。与阴相结者。为脏结。以阴受之。
则入五脏故尔。气宜通。而塞故痛。邪结阳分。则阴气不得上通。邪结阴分。则阳气不
得下通。是二者。皆心下硬痛。寸脉浮关脉沉。知邪结在阳也。寸脉浮。关脉小细沉紧。
知邪结在阴也。阴结而阳不结。虽心下结痛。饮食亦自如故。阴气乘肠虚而下。故时时
自下利。阴得阳则解。脏结得热证多。则易治。舌上白苔滑者。邪气结。胸中亦寒。故
云难治。
王宇泰云。按本文云。如结胸状。则与结胸当有分别矣。注曰是二者。皆心下硬痛。欠

脏结无阳证。不往来寒热。其人反静。舌上苔滑者。不可攻也。
脏结。于法当下。无阳证。为表无热。不往来寒热。为半表半里。无热。其人反静。为

Shuizhi (Leech, 20 individuals, bitter flavor, cold nature) Mengchong (Dragonfly larva, 25 individuals, bitter flavor, slightly cold nature) Taoren (Peach Seed, 20 individuals, remove skin and tips) Dahuang (Rhubarb Root, 3 liang).
The above four herbs. Pound them and divide into four pills. Boil one pill in one sheng of water until reduced to seven ge. Take the decoction. Stooling with blood should occur at this time. If it does not occur, administer another dose. In Taiyang disease (disease of the Taiyang channel), if urination is free, it is due to excessive drinking of water, which inevitably causes palpitations in the epigastrium; if urination is scanty, there will inevitably be distressing abdominal urgency. When water intake is high and urination is spontaneous and free, water does not accumulate internally, but merely increases in the abdomen, causing epigastric palpitations. The *Jin Gui Yao Lue* states: "When food intake is low and water intake is high, water stagnates in the epigastrium; severe cases manifest as palpitations." When water intake is high and urination is obstructed, water accumulates internally and fails to circulate, inevitably causing distressing abdominal urgency.
Question: There are diseases called Jie Xiong (Chest Binding) and Zang Jie (Organ Binding). What are their manifestations? Answer: Pain upon pressure, floating pulse at the Cun position, and sunken pulse at the Guan position is named Jie Xiong (Chest Binding). What is Zang Jie (Organ Binding)? Answer: It resembles the condition of Jie Xiong (Chest Binding), but appetite remains normal, and there is frequent diarrhea. A floating pulse at the Cun position and a small, fine, sunken, and tight pulse at the Guan position is named Zang Jie (Organ Binding). If the tongue has white and slippery coating, it is difficult to treat.
Jie Xiong (Chest Binding) refers to pathogenic factors binding in the chest; Zang Jie (Organ Binding) refers to pathogenic factors binding in the Zang organs. Both conditions result from pathogenic factors entering the interior due to deficiency after improper purgation. After purgation, pathogenic factors enter the interior and bind with Yang Qi, forming Jie Xiong (Chest Binding), because Yang Qi receives its qi in the chest. Binding with Yin Qi forms Zang Jie (Organ Binding), because Yin Qi receives the pathogen and enters the Five Zang Organs. Qi should flow freely; obstruction causes pain. When pathogenic factors bind in the Yang aspect, Yin Qi cannot ascend; when they bind in the Yin aspect, Yang Qi cannot descend. Both conditions present with hardness and pain in the epigastrium, with a floating pulse at the Cun position and a sunken pulse at the Guan position, indicating pathogenic binding in the Yang aspect. A floating pulse at the Cun position and a small, fine, sunken, and tight pulse at the Guan position indicates pathogenic binding in the Yin aspect. With Yin binding and no Yang binding, although there is binding and pain in the epigastrium, diet remains normal. Yin Qi descends into the intestines due to intestinal emptiness, causing frequent spontaneous diarrhea. Yin conditions resolve with Yang; if Zang Jie (Organ Binding) presents with many heat syndromes, it is easier to treat. White and slippery tongue coating indicates pathogenic binding and cold in the chest, hence described as difficult to treat.
Wang Yutai stated: According to the text, "resembling Jie Xiong," there must be a distinction between it and Jie Xiong. The annotation stating "both conditions involve hardness and pain in the epigastrium" is imprecise. "Resembling Jie Xiong, with normal diet" implies only that there is no pain upon pressure. Since it binds in the Zang organs, and the tongue shows white coating indicating chest cold, with exterior symptoms affecting both upper and lower aspects, it is difficult to treat.
Zang Jie (Organ Binding) lacks Yang syndrome manifestations, such as alternating chills and fever. The patient appears unusually quiet. If the tongue has slippery coating, purgation is contraindicated.
For Zang Jie (Organ Binding), purgation is indicated by principle, but without Yang syndrome, indicating no heat in the exterior. Absence of alternating chills and fever indicates no heat in the half-exterior/half-interior. The patient's unusual quietness indicates no heat in the interior. The Classics state: "Tongue coating resembling moss indicates heat in the Dantian and cold in the chest." Because both exterior and interior are cold, purgation is contraindicated.
If a disease originates from Yang syndrome and is incorrectly treated with purgation, heat enters inward, resulting in Jie Xiong (Chest Binding). If a disease originates from Yin syndrome and is incorrectly treated with purgation, it results in Pi Syndrome (Glomus). The reason Jie Xiong (Chest Binding) occurs is due to premature purgation.
Fever with aversion to cold indicates origin from Yang syndrome. Incorrect purgation causes exterior Yang pathogenic factors to enter the interior and bind in the chest, forming Jie Xiong (Chest Binding). Absence of fever with aversion to cold indicates origin from Yin syndrome. Incorrect purgation causes exterior Yin pathogenic factors to enter the interior and bind in the epigastrium, forming Pi Syndrome (Glomus).
Zhang Jianshan stated: Some argue that Cheng Wuji's annotation claims "absence of fever with aversion to cold indicates origin from Yin syndrome." If there is no fever and only aversion to cold, it is a Yin syndrome; how can purgation be applicable? Moreover, would it not result in more than just Pi Syndrome (Glomus)? The Yin and Yang mentioned by Zhang Zhongjing refer to the Exterior and Interior. Disease in the Exterior requires diaphoresis; incorrect purgation leads to Jie Xiong (Chest Binding). Disease in the Interior, not yet entering the Fu organs, subjected to premature purgation, leads to Pi Syndrome (Glomus). The cause of both Jie Xiong (Chest Binding) and Pi Syndrome (Glomus) is premature purgation. He further stated: Wind pathogen entering the interior forms Jie Xiong (Chest Binding); Cold pathogen entering the interior forms Pi Syndrome (Glomus). However, these are caused by Taiyang disease (disease of the Taiyang channel), not by Yin syndromes.
Jie Xiong (Chest Binding) may also present with stiffness of the neck, resembling Rou Ji (Soft Spasm). Purgation harmonizes the condition; Da Xian Xiong Wan (Major Chest-Draining Pill) is appropriate.
In Jie Xiong (Chest Binding) disease, neck stiffness occurs because pathogenic factors bind in the chest, causing fullness and binding in the chest and diaphragm, and tightness in the epigastrium. The patient can only extend the head backward but cannot flex forward, constituting neck stiffness, similar to the presentation of Rou Ji (Soft Spasm). Administer Da Xian Xiong Wan (Major Chest-Draining Pill) to purge binding and relieve fullness.
