Song 10 and Seven Attached Formulas
The "Zhonghe Yi" (Harmonizing Righteousness, referring to Si Jun Zi Tang / Four Gentlemen Decoction) from the *Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang* is composed of Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), and Gan Cao (Licorice Root) in specific proportions. (Ren Shen, Bai Zhu, and Fu Ling are each two qian, and Gan Cao is one qian. The medicinal properties and flavors are mild and balanced, hence named after the "gentleman".) Adding Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) and Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) creates Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction), which dispels phlegm and tonifies Qi, suitable for patients with Yang deficiency. (Er Chen Tang dispels phlegm, and Si Jun Zi Tang tonifies Qi; it is appropriate for those with Spleen weakness and Yang deficiency.) If Ban Xia is removed, it is named Yi Gong San (Extraordinary Merit Powder, from Qian Yi). Alternatively, adding Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix) and Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus) treats Stomach cold by promoting Qi circulation and warming the middle. (Yi Wei Tang, from Li Dongyuan).
[Formula Analysis] Huang Qi (Astragali Radix) two liang, Ren Shen, Zhi Gan Cao (Honey-fried Licorice Root) each one qian, Qiang Huo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Du Huo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, stir-fried) each five qian, Chen Pi four qian, Bai Zhu, Fu Ling, Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix) each three qian, Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma) two qian. Take three qian per dose, decocted with fresh ginger and jujube. Liu Jun Zi Tang assists Yang, tonifies the Spleen, and dispels phlegm; heavy use of Huang Qi tonifies Qi and secures the Stomach; Chai Hu, Qiang Huo, and Du Huo dispel dampness and raise Yang; Ze Xie and Fu Ling drain heat and descend turbidity. Adding Bai Shao harmonizes blood and astringes Yin; a small amount of Huang Lian retreats Yin fire. Note: Li Dongyuan prioritized the Spleen and Stomach in treatment, emphasizing raising Yang to benefit the Stomach; thus, he frequently used herbs that tonify the center and ascend clear yang while descending turbid yin. This formula combines tonification with dispersion, and dispersion with retention. Most formulas for treating Spleen and Stomach disorders were modeled after this prescription.
[Attached Formula] Di Gu Pi (Lycii Cortex), Qin Jiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix), Zi Wan (Asteris Radix), Ren Shen, Fu Ling, Chai Hu, Ban Xia, Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma). Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix), Bai Shao, Tian Dong (Asparagi Radix), Rou Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex), Gan Cao, Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix), Sang Bai Pi (Mori Cortex), suitable for treating deficiency-heat. (Indicated for deficiency labor with bone-steaming fever, evening fever with cough, poor appetite, and night sweats: Huang Qi, Bie Jia (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum), Tian Dong each five qian; Di Gu Pi, Qin Jiao, Fu Ling, Chai Hu each three qian; Zi Wan, Ban Xia, Zhi Mu, Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata), Bai Shao, Sang Bai Pi, Zhi Gan Cao each two and a half qian; Ren Shen, Rou Gui, Jie Geng each one and a half qian. Take one liang per dose, decocted with fresh ginger. Bie Jia, Tian Dong, Zhi Mu, and Bai Shao nourish Kidney water and nourish Yin; Ren Shen, Huang Qi, Rou Gui, Fu Ling, and Gan Cao secure the Defensive Qi and assist Yang; Sang Bai Pi and Jie Geng drain Lung heat; Zi Wan and Ban Xia regulate phlegm and cough; Qin Jiao, Chai Hu, and Di Gu Pi reduce fever and raise Yang. This is a formula that tonifies both interior/exterior and Qi/Blood.)
