As for the accumulation and mass disorders in women, the "accumulation" (Ji, a fixed mass) arises from dysfunction of the Zang organs. The "mass" (Ju, a movable mass) is formed by dysfunction of the Fu organs. When Qi of the Zang organs stagnates and accumulates, it is called "Accumulation". When Qi of the Fu organs obstructs and gathers, it is called "Mass".

*Rumen Shiqin* records: Dai Ren (Zhang Congzheng) passed through the military camp at Qiao Du and attended a banquet. A soldier at the neighboring seat mentioned his divorce. Dai Ren asked for the reason. The soldier replied, "My wife, when she was still a maiden..." (The original text here has omissions; based on context, it implies her condition originated early). Therefore, the Chi pulse... the area below the heart felt soft upon palpation. Subsequently, *Baizhu Tiaozhong Tang* (Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction to Regulate the Middle) and *Wuling San* (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) were administered. Later, *Siwu Tang* (Four-Substance Decoction) was used to harmonize Qi and Blood. Within less than a month, Qi and Blood became balanced. Within several months, she conceived twins. Dai Ren often said, "Using my method, there are no women who cannot bear children." This statement is not false. The wife of the Magistrate of Yangxia suffered from Feiqi disorder. Initially, the mass was as large as a wine cup. Episodes featured chills and fever. More than fifteen years later, due to irritability and grief, the condition worsened. Only an area three fingers wide below the heart remained unaffected; the rest of the abdomen was hard as a stone slab. She could neither sit nor lie down. Acupuncture and moxibustion treatments had been exhausted in vain. Thus, Dai Ren was invited for consultation. Upon examination, he diagnosed, "This is Feiqi disorder. It originated on a Wu-Ji day in late summer. The lesion is located under the left hypochondrium, shaped like an inverted cup. If untreated for long, it causes malaria. Malaria refers to alternating chills and fever." He prescribed *Gua Di San* (Melon Seed Powder) to induce vomiting. Approximately three jars of fishy-smelling yellow phlegm were expelled. That night, *Zhou Che Wan* (Boat and Cart Pills) and *Tongjing San* (Meridian-Unblocking Powder) were administered. At dawn, five to six bowel movements consisting of half yellow phlegm and half pus-like fluid occurred. All areas where accumulation existed felt painful. Afterwards, *Baizhu San* (Atractylodes Powder) and *Danggui San* (Angelica Powder), along with herbs that harmonize blood and unblock meridians, were used. Through such emetic and purgative therapies, repeated three or four times, the disease finally subsided.
