予平生有二疾，一则脏腑下血，二则膈中停饮，下血有时而止，停饮则无时。始因年少时夜坐为文，左
向伏几案，是以饮食多坠向左边。中夜以后，稍困乏，必饮两三杯，既卧就枕，又向左边侧睡。气壮盛时，殊
不觉。三五年后，觉酒止从左边下，漉漉有声，胁痛，饮食殊减，十数日必呕数升酸苦水，暑月止是右边身有
汗， 常润，左边病处绝燥。遍访名医及海上方服之，少有验。间或中病，止得月余复作。其补则如天雄、

。水盈科而行也，清者可行，浊者根据前停蓄，盖下无路以决之也。是以积之五七日，必呕而去，稍宽数日复
作。脾，土也，恶湿，而水则流湿。莫若燥脾以胜湿，崇土以填科臼，则疾当去矣。于是悉屏诸药，一味服苍

The above six herbs are sliced. Boil in six sheng of water until one sheng and eight he remain. Strain and divide into three warm doses. Administer the next dose after the patient has walked for a distance equivalent to eight or nine li. Avoid vinegar, peaches, plums, sparrow meat, etc. This formula is identical to that in Zhang Zhongjing's *Shanghan Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage). (From *Waitai Miyao*)
Shenshi Xiaoyin Wan (Deep Master’s Drink-Dispersing Pill) treats phlegm-fluid retention caused by alcohol consumption, presenting with chest fullness, rebellious qi, vomiting, blurred vision, deafness, and borborygmus in the abdomen.
Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), Fuling (Poria) (each 3 liang), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) (8 liang), Zhishi (Immature Bitter Orange) (4 pieces, prepared by stir-frying with bran).
The above four herbs are crushed, sifted, and mixed with honey to form pills the size of wutong seeds. Take five pills per dose, three times daily, gradually increasing the dosage. (Ibid.)
In my life, I have suffered from two ailments: bleeding from the zang-fu organs below, and fluid retention in the diaphragm. The bleeding sometimes stops, but the fluid retention never ceases. Initially, because I used to sit up late at night writing, leaning left over the desk, food tended to settle on the left side. After midnight, feeling slightly fatigued, I would drink two or three cups of wine. When lying down to sleep, I also slept on my left side. When my qi and blood were vigorous, I felt no discomfort. Three or five years later, I noticed that the wine only flowed down on the left side, making a gurgling sound, accompanied by hypochondriac pain and significantly reduced appetite. Every ten days or so, I would vomit several sheng of sour and bitter fluid. In summer, only the right side of my body sweated and remained moist, while the left side, where the disease was located, was absolutely dry. I visited famous doctors and tried overseas remedies, with little effect. Occasionally, the treatment worked, but the condition relapsed after more than a month. I had tried tonifying herbs like Tianxiong (Aconitum Lateralis Radix Preparata), Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root), and Fanshi (Alumen); and purgative herbs like Qianniu (Pharbitis Seed), Gansui (Kansui Root), and Daji (Euphorbia Pekinensis Root). Later, I analyzed the pathology and concluded that it had formed a "pi nang" (a pathological sac-like accumulation of fluid), similar to water accumulating in depressions; the water does not flow until the depression is filled. As the clear part flows away, the turbid part remains stagnant because there is no outlet below. Thus, after accumulating for five to seven days, it must be vomited out to provide temporary relief, only to recur a few days later. The Spleen belongs to Earth, dislikes dampness, and water flows toward damp areas. Therefore, it is best to dry the Spleen to overcome dampness and fortify Earth to fill the depressions, thereby eliminating the disease. Consequently, I discontinued all other medicines and took only Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) for three months, after which the illness disappeared. I continued taking it for several years thereafter, without vomiting or diarrhea, with a relaxed chest and diaphragm, normal diet, and even sweating all over the body in summer with a cooling sensation. Water could now descend normally. Previously, fluid retention had soaked the Liver, causing frequent dizziness and blurred vision; afterwards, I could read small print under lamplight, all due to the power of Cangzhu. The method is as follows: Take one jin of Cangzhu, remove the skin and grind into powder. Use half a liang of raw Sesame Seeds, add two zhan of water, grind and filter to obtain the juice. Cook fifteen Jujubes until soft, remove skins and pits, and mash. Mix the sesame juice evenly with the mashed jujube paste to form a thin paste. Combine with the Cangzhu powder, pound thoroughly in a mortar, and form pills the size of wutong seeds. Dry them. Take fifty pills on an empty stomach each day with salted water, increasing to one hundred, then two hundred pills. Avoid peaches, plums, sparrow, and pigeon meat. Initially, there will be slight dryness in the chest; use processed Maoshu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) to mitigate this. If dryness becomes severe, take one dose of Shanzhi San (Gardenia Powder). Over time, the dryness subsides. After taking it for half a year, I used only extremely pungent and drying herbs, peeled without soaking, which were very potent yet naturally non-drying. Shanzhi San consists solely of dried Gardeniae Fructus ground into powder, taken with boiling water. Thus, one should know not to lean to one side when sitting for long periods; occasional movement is also a method of regulation. (From *Ben Shi Fang*) [Note: "Nang" originates from *Qianjin Fang*, referring to fluid accumulation forming a sac-like structure. Sun Yikui believed it resembled a uterine sac and could not be removed quickly, which is incorrect.]
For patients with deficiency-cold in the heart and abdomen, wandering phlegm rising upward, chest and hypochondriac fullness, inability to eat, vomiting and regurgitation, and coldness in the chest, Xiao Banxia Tang (Minor Pinellia Decoction) is indicated.
Banxia (Pinellia Tuber) (1 sheng), Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) (1 jin), Chuanpiao (Tangerine Peel) (4 liang).
The above three herbs are sliced. Boil in one dou of water until three sheng remain. Divide into three doses. If there is urgency in the heart and heart pain, add Guixin (Cinnamon Twig) 4 liang. If there is abdominal fullness and pain, add Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root) 3 liang. It is especially suitable for emaciated individuals and the elderly. Another prescription uses Renshen (Ginseng Root) 2 liang (Zhang Zhongjing’s original formula lacks Chuanpiao and Renshen). (From *Qianjin Fang*)
To treat accumulated cold in the chest, epigastric discomfort and irritability, fullness, inability to swallow food and fluids, and back pain corresponding to the chest, Wuzhuyu Tang (Evodia Decoction) is indicated.

Fuling (Poria) 1 liang, Zhuyu (Evodia Fruit) 3 liang, crushed and made into pills the size of wutong seeds with honey. Take five pills, three times daily. (From *Yixin Fang*) *Wei Shi*’s Zhuzhi Wan (Evodia and Immature Bitter Orange Pill) treats fluid retention and癖 (accumulation) in the middle jiao. Add Zhishi (Immature Bitter Orange) to the above formula (prepared with Shenqu dough cooked in ginger juice).
*Duanju*’s Banxia Fuling Tang (Pinellia and Poria Decoction) treats cold air and dilute fluid in the chest, diaphragm, heart, and abdomen; epigastric flooding, irritability, excessive saliva, spontaneous drooling of clear fluid, acute and painful distension in the costal region, and anorexia. These are all caused by weak Stomach qi exposed to cold. The pulse is typically deep, wiry, fine, and slow. This formula addresses all these conditions.

The above ten herbs are sliced. Boil in nine sheng of water until three sheng remain. Divide into three doses. To promote purgation, add Dahuang (Rhubarb Root). (From *Waitai Miyao*) *Qianjin Fang* adds Xixin (Asarum Root) (unnamed formula; called Xuanfuhua Tang in *Ben Shi Fang*). *Jisheng Fang*’s Binglang San (Areca Seed Powder) treats chest-diaphragm phlegm-fluid, abdominal borborygmus, indigestion, vomiting and regurgitation, arm pain, and neck pain. Remove Guixin, Fuling, and Shaoyao from the base formula; add Binglang (Areca Seed), Xingren (Apricot Seed), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), and Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome). *Zhizhi Fang*’s Chuanpi Tang (Tangerine Peel Decoction) treats retained phlegm in the chest and diaphragm. Remove Guixin and Shaoyao; add Xixin (Asarum Root), Qingpi (Green Tangerine Peel), and Zhike (Bitter Orange Fruit). *Yuanrong Fang*’s Wu Yin Tang (Five Fluids Decoction) treats: 1. Liuyin (Retained Fluid) in the epigastrium; 2. Xuanyin (Hanging Fluid) in the hypochondria; 3. Tanyin (Phlegm Fluid) in the Stomach; 4. Yiyin (Overflowing Fluid) above the diaphragm; 5. Liuyin (Flowing Fluid) in the intestines. These five types of fluid retention result from cold damage after drinking alcohol or excessive consumption of cold beverages. [Note: Derived from *Qianjin Yi Fang*]. Remove Jiegeng from the base formula; add Zhishi (Immature Bitter Orange), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Houpo (Magnolia Bark), Zexie (Alisma Rhizome), Qianhu (Peucedani Root), and Zhuling (Polyporus).

(From *Qianjin Fang*) *Waitai Miyao*: *Shanfan Fang* treats spleen cough due to extreme flesh deficiency and cold, retained fluid and phlegm-pi, difficulty in urination and defecation, cutting pain in the lower abdomen, and cold above the diaphragm. Use Dabanxia Tang and add Chuanpi (Tangerine Peel). (*Jifeng Puji Fang*’s Banxia Fuling Yinzi is similar; see the chapter on Vomiting for reference.)

First, prepare one sheng of boiling water, add one sheng of cold water, named "Raw-Cooked Water." Add three he of salt. Swallow with this water. Soon, vomiting will occur and the phlegm will be expelled. If not fully expelled, take another two he, drink two sheng of water, and may take more water afterward to prevent further vomiting. (From *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*)
Treats sudden severe headache as if breaking, not due to cold invasion or wind-stroke. The pain is caused by phlegm in the chest and diaphragm and rebellious qi rushing upward, named "Jue Tou Tong" (Rebellious Headache). Vomiting brings cure.
Boil tea leaves alone to make a beverage of about two to three sheng. Drink two sheng at a comfortable temperature. Soon, vomiting will occur. After vomiting, drink again. Repeat several times. In severe cases, vomiting bile is required to stop the pain. This does not harm the person; thirst indicates recovery. (From *Qianjin Fang*) [Note: This formula originates from *Zhouhou Fang*, where "tea" refers to rice.]

Moxibustion Method: For anyone suffering from Shui Zhu (Water Contagion Disease) with surging saliva in the mouth, the classics state this is Lung qi invading the Kidney. Postprandial vomiting of water can be treated by moxibustion on Feishu (BL13), Sanyinjiao (SP6), and Qimen (LR14). This drains the Lung and tonifies the Kidney. The number of moxa cones should correspond to the patient’s age. Similarly, for phlegm-saliva presenting with similar symptoms, moxibustion should be performed using this method. (From *Zisheng Jing*)
