【气味】甘，平，无毒。
【主治】酒后热痢，洗目中肤翳，治人大惊九窍四肢指
歧皆出血，以水 面。和朱砂服，令人好颜色，镇心安神。治口臭，堪炼诸药石。投酒醋，
令不腐（《嘉 》）。宜煎补阴之药（虞抟）。宜煎一切痰火气血药（时珍）。
新汲水
【主治】消渴反胃，热痢热淋，小便赤涩，却邪调中，下热气，并宜饮之。射
痈肿令散，洗漆疮。治坠损肠出，冷喷其身面，则肠自入也。又解闭口椒毒，下鱼骨哽（《
嘉》）。解马刀毒（之才）。解砒石、乌喙、烧酒、煤炭毒。治热闷昏瞀烦渴（时珍）。
【发明】禹锡曰∶凡饮水疗疾，皆取新汲清泉，不用停污浊暖，非直无效，亦且损人。
虞抟曰∶新汲井华水，取天一真气，浮于水面，用以煎补阴之剂，及炼丹煮茗，性味同于雪
水也。
时珍曰∶井泉地脉也，人之经血象之，须取其土浓水深，源远而质洁者，食用可也。
《易》曰∶井泥不食，井冽寒泉食，是矣。人乃地产，资禀与山川之气相为流通，而美
恶寿夭，亦相关涉。金石草木，尚随水土之性，而况万物之灵者乎。贪淫有泉，仙寿有井，
载在往牒，必不我欺。《淮南子》云∶土地各以类生人。是故山气多男，泽气多女，水气多
，风气多聋，林气多癃，木气多伛，岸下气多 ，石气多力，险阻气多瘿，暑气多夭，寒
气多寿，谷气多痹，丘气多狂，广气多仁，陵气多贪。坚土人刚，弱土人脆，垆土人大，沙
土人细，息土人美，耗土人丑，轻土多利，重土多迟。清水音小，浊水音大，湍水人轻，迟
水人重。皆应其类也。又《河图括地象》云∶九州殊题，水泉刚柔各异。青州角征会，其气
轻，人声急，其泉酸以苦。梁州商征接，其气刚勇，人声塞，其泉苦以辛。兖豫宫征会，
其气平静，人声端，其泉甘以苦。雍冀商羽合，其气快烈，人声捷，其泉咸以辛。观此二说，
则人赖水土以养生，可不慎所择乎。
时珍曰∶按《后汉书》云∶有妇人病经年，世谓寒热注病。十一月，华佗令坐石槽中，
平旦用冷水灌，云当至百。始灌七十，冷颤欲死，灌者惧欲止，佗不许。灌至八十，热气乃
蒸出，嚣嚣然高二、三尺。满百灌，乃使燃火温床，浓覆而卧，良久冷汗出，以粉扑之而愈。
又《南史》云∶将军房伯玉，服五石散十许剂，更患冷疾，夏月常复衣。徐嗣伯诊之，曰∶
乃伏热也，须以水发之，非冬月不可。十一月冰雪大盛时，令伯玉解衣坐石上，取新汲冷水，
从头浇之，尽二十斛，口噤气绝。家人啼哭请止，嗣伯执挝KT 者。又尽水百斛，伯玉始
能动，背上彭彭有气。俄而起坐，云热不可忍，乞冷冻饮料。嗣伯以水一升饮之，疾遂愈。自尔
常发热，冬月犹单衫，体更肥壮。时珍窃谓二人所病，皆伏火之证，《素问》所谓诸噤鼓栗，
皆属于火也。治法火郁则发之，而二子乃于冬月平旦浇以冷水者，冬至后阳气在内也，平旦
亦阳气方盛时也，折之以寒，使热气郁遏至极，激发而汗解，乃物不极不反，是亦发之之意。
《素问》所谓逆者正治，从者反治，逆而从之，从而逆之，疏通道路，令气调和者也。
春月则阳气已泄，夏秋则阴气在内，故必于十一月至后，乃可行之。二子之医，可谓神
矣。

[Flavor and Nature] Sweet, neutral, non-toxic.
[Indications] For heat dysentery after drinking alcohol; wash away corneal opacity (membrane on the eye surface); treat massive bleeding from the nine orifices and fingers of limbs due to severe fright by washing the face with water. Taken with Cinnabar (Zhusha), it improves complexion, calms the heart and spirit. Treats halitosis; suitable for refining various mineral drugs. Added to wine and vinegar, it prevents spoilage (from *Jiayou Bencao*). Suitable for decocting yin-nourishing formulas (Yu Bo). Suitable for decocting all medicines treating phlegm-fire and qi-blood disorders (Li Shizhen).
Newly Drawn Water (Cold water freshly drawn)
[Indications] For diabetes mellitus (Xiao Ke), regurgitation, heat dysentery, painful urinary dribbling (Re Lin), and dark, scanty, difficult urination. It expels pathogens, harmonizes the middle jiao, and descends heat; all are suitable for drinking. Spraying it on carbuncles and swellings helps dissipate them; washing with it treats lacquer dermatitis. For prolapsed intestines due to falls and injuries, spraying cold water on the body and face causes the intestines to retract spontaneously. It also antidotes closed-mouth pepper toxicity and removes fish bones stuck in the throat (from *Jiayou Bencao*). Antidotes Machang sore toxicity (from *Leigong Paozhi Lun* · Cai). Antidotes arsenic trioxide (Pishi), Aconitum carmichaelii lateral root (Wuhui), distilled liquor, and coal dust toxicity. Treats dizziness, confusion, and thirst caused by heat stagnation (Li Shizhen).
[Elucidation] Yuxi stated: Whenever water is used to treat diseases, one must select fresh clear spring water, not stagnant, turbid, or warm water. Not only is it ineffective, but it also harms the body.
Yu Bo stated: Newly drawn well water at dawn (Jinghua Shui) captures the primordial Qi of Heaven One floating on the surface. It is used to decoct yin-nourishing preparations, refine elixirs, and brew tea. Its nature and flavor are identical to snow water.
Li Shizhen stated: Wells and springs are manifestations of earth veins. Human meridians and blood correspond to them. One must select those where the soil is thick, the source is distant, and the quality is pure for consumption. The *I Ching* states: "Muddy wells are not eaten; clear, cold spring wells are drunk." This is correct. Humans are products of the earth; their endowment circulates with the Qi of mountains and rivers. Beauty, ugliness, longevity, and premature death are all interrelated. Metals, stones, plants, and trees follow the nature of water and soil; how much more so for the spirit of all things? There are springs for lustful people and wells for immortals, recorded in past annals, which will surely not deceive us. The *Huainanzi* says: Land generates people according to their categories. Therefore, mountain Qi produces many men, marsh Qi produces many women, water Qi produces many mute persons, wind Qi produces many deaf persons, forest Qi produces many fistula patients, wood Qi produces many hunchbacks, Qi below banks produces many with limb contractures, stone Qi produces many strong persons, dangerous terrain Qi produces many goiter patients, summer heat Qi leads to early death, cold Qi leads to longevity, valley Qi produces many bi-syndrome patients, hill Qi produces many manic persons, broad plain Qi produces many benevolent persons, ridge Qi produces many greedy persons. Hard soil yields rigid people, soft soil yields fragile people, clay soil yields large-bodied people, sandy soil yields small-bodied people, fertile soil yields beautiful people, barren soil yields ugly people, light soil yields profit-seeking people, heavy soil yields slow-witted people. Clear water regions have small voices, turbid water regions have loud voices, swift water regions yield frivolous people, sluggish water regions yield heavy/steady people. All respond to their kind. Furthermore, the *Hetu Kuo Di Xiang* states: The Nine Provinces have different names, and the rigidity and softness of water sources vary. In Qingzhou, Jue and Zhi tones meet; its Qi is light, people's voices are rapid, and its springs are sour and bitter. In Liangzhou, Shang and Zhi tones connect; its Qi is courageous, people's voices are obstructed, and its springs are bitter and pungent. in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, Gong and Zhi tones meet; its Qi is calm, people's voices are dignified, and its springs are sweet and bitter. In Yongzhou and Jizhou, Shang and Yu tones combine; its Qi is fierce, people's voices are agile, and its springs are salty and pungent. Observing these two theories, humans rely on water and soil for nourishment; can one not be cautious in selection?
Li Shizhen stated: According to the *Book of Later Han*: A woman suffered from a disease for years, known as Cold-Heat Zhu Disease. In November, Hua Tuo instructed her to sit in a stone trough and pour cold water over her at dawn, saying it should reach one hundred times. After seventy pours, she trembled violently, near death. The person pouring feared to stop, but Hua Tuo refused. At eighty pours, heat began to steam out, rising two or three feet high. After one hundred pours, he ordered fire to warm the bed, covered her tightly, and after a long time, cold sweat emerged. Powder was applied, and she recovered. Also, the *History of the Southern Dynasties* records: General Fang Boyu took Wushi San (Five-Mineral Powder) about ten times and developed a cold disease, wearing multiple layers even in summer. Xu Sibai diagnosed him, saying: "This is latent heat that must be dispersed by water; it cannot be done except in winter." In late November when ice and snow were intense, Xu had Fang undress and sit on a stone. Fresh cold water was poured from his head, exhausting twenty hu. Fang's jaws locked, and breath ceased. Family members cried and begged to stop, but Xu held a stick to prevent them. Another hundred hu of water were poured, then Fang could move, with Qi bulging on his back. Soon he sat up, complaining of unbearable heat, begging for cold drink. Xu gave him one sheng of water, and the disease cured. From then on, he often felt hot, wore single clothes in winter, and became fatter and stronger. I privately believe both cases involved latent Fire syndromes. As the *Suwen* states, all cases of jaw locking and trembling belong to Fire. The treatment principle is to disperse Fire when it is depressed. These two doctors poured cold water in winter at dawn because after Winter Solstice, Yang Qi is internal, and at dawn, Yang Qi is rising. Using cold to suppress it forces the heat to become extremely depressed, stimulating sweating and resolution. This follows the principle that things reverse when extreme, embodying the method of dispersion. The *Suwen* states: Treating against the pathogen is orthodox treatment; following the pathogen is counter-treatment. By going against or following, we unblock pathways and harmonize Qi. In spring, Yang Qi has leaked; in summer and autumn, Yin Qi is internal. Thus, it can only be performed from November to after Winter Solstice. These two doctors' skills were truly miraculous.
