夫飞尸者,游走皮肤,穿行脏腑,每发刺痛,变作无常。遁尸者,附骨入肉,攻通血脉
,见尸丧、闻哀哭便发。风尸者,淫濯四肢,痛而昏沉,遇风雪便发。沉尸者,缠骨结脏,内肿
心胁,发则绞痛,遇寒冷便发。注尸者,举身沉重,精神错杂,时觉昏愦,每至节气便发。
以上并宜苏合香丸治之。
按丹溪云∶凡人手足逆冷,肤栗,头面青黑,精神恍惚,或错言妄语,或牙关紧急,或
昏寐倒
云∶卒厥、飞尸、客忤、鬼击口噤,用麻黄汤。寒厥,表热里寒,则下利清谷,食下则吐,脉
沉,手足冷,用四逆汤。热厥,腹满身重难转,面垢,谵语,遗尿,手足冷,自汗,脉沉滑
,用白虎汤。若人身忽然不动,目闭口噤,恶声闻响,眩冒,顷时方寤,此由出汗过多,气
并于血,阳独上而不下,气壅塞而不行耳。气过血还,阴阳复通,移时方寤,名曰郁冒,亦
名血厥,宜白薇汤、仓公散。
人病尸厥,呼之不应者死。脉当大,反小者死。
锦衣杨永兴举家避眚,有仆沉醉失避者,既而神思昏昧,遍身青伤,煎金银藤汤灌之,
即愈。
一妇人忽昏愦发谵语,两脚踝膝、臀处皆青肿,痛不可忍,口称苦楚,次日方苏,痛尚
不止,用金银藤两许,水煎服愈。
一妇人入古冢,患前症,以紫金锭灌之,即愈。
Feishi (Flying Corpse) refers to a pathogenic factor that wanders through the skin and penetrates the zang-fu organs. Each attack causes stabbing pain, and the condition changes unpredictably. Dunshi (Escaping Corpse) attaches to the bones and muscles, attacking the blood vessels; it is triggered by witnessing funerals or hearing weeping. Fengshi (Wind Corpse) flows into the four limbs, causing pain accompanied by drowsiness and heaviness, triggered by wind and snow. Chenshi (Sinking Corpse) entangles the bones and knots within the internal organs, causing internal swelling in the heart and hypochondrium; attacks result in colicky pain, triggered by cold environments. Zhushi (Pouring Corpse) causes general body heaviness, mental confusion, and frequent faintness, triggered at solar term transitions. All five types of Shijue (Corpse Syncope) syndromes are suitable for treatment with Suhe Xiang Wan (Styrax Pills).
According to Zhu Danxi: When a person presents with reversed coldness of the hands and feet, pruritus cutis (goosebumps), cyanosis and blackening of the head and face, mental trance, or delirious speech, trismus (lockjaw), or coma and somnolence, this belongs to sudden syncope, Feishi, Ke Wu (Guest Malevolence), or Gui Ji (Ghost Strike) causing trismus, and should be treated with Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction). If it is Hanjue (Cold Syncope), characterized by exterior heat and interior cold, there will be diarrhea with undigested food, vomiting after eating, a deep pulse, and cold extremities; this should be treated with Sini Tang (Fried Aconite Decoction). If it is Rejue (Heat Syncope), characterized by abdominal fullness, body heaviness with difficulty turning over, dirty complexion, delirium, urinary incontinence, cold extremities, spontaneous sweating, and a deep-slippery pulse, this should be treated with Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction). If a person suddenly becomes immobile, with eyes closed, trismus, aversion to sound, vertigo, and only regains consciousness after a while, this is caused by excessive sweating leading to Qi merging into Blood, with Yang floating upward alone without descending, resulting in Qi stagnation and obstruction. Once Qi moves and Blood returns, Yin and Yang reconnect, and consciousness returns after some time; this condition is called Yumao (Depression and Dizziness) or Xuejue (Blood Syncope), and is suitable for treatment with Baiwei Tang (Cynanchum Paniculatum Decoction) or Cang Gong San (Master Cang's Powder).
If a person suffers from Shijue and does not respond when called, death ensues. If the pulse should be large but is instead small, death ensues.
Yang Yongxing, a member of the Imperial Guard, moved his entire family to avoid disaster. One servant, who had become drunk and failed to evacuate, subsequently suffered from mental confusion and widespread bruising. He was cured immediately after being administered an infusion of Jin Yin Teng (Lonicerae Japonicae Caulis).
A woman suddenly became confused and delirious, with cyanotic swelling on both ankles, knees, and buttocks, unbearable pain, and vocalizations of suffering. She regained consciousness the next day, but the pain persisted. She was cured after taking approximately two liang of Jin Yin Teng boiled in water.
Another woman entered an ancient tomb and developed the aforementioned symptoms. She was cured immediately after being administered Zijin Ding (Purple Gold Pill).
