The term "An Wei" (Calming the Stomach) means preventing the excess pathogenic qi from invading the Stomach. Fatigue and loss of appetite are invariably caused by diseases of the Spleen and Stomach.

The *Classic* names Hongxiangjiao (Hong Kong Foot/Gout) as Jue, Han dynasty called it Huanfeng (Slow Wind), and it was named Hongxiangjiao starting from the Song and Qi dynasties.

It should be treated urgently with heavy-dose formulas. *Waitai Mi Yao* treats Hongxiangjiao, and only the method from the Tang Dynasty Official Shi Zhong is most effective. By the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Wencai's *Yi Fang Xuan Yao* contained Jimingsan (Chicken Crow Decoction), with identical herbs except for the addition of Jiegeng. The meaning lies in taking it at Wugeng (3-5 AM), hence the name Chicken Crow Decoction. Zisu has red color and fragrant aroma, circulating qi and blood, specifically dispersing wind-toxin. Combined with Shengjiang, it removes cold; combined with Mugua, it absorbs dampness. Assisted by Jiegeng to open Upper Jiao qi, and Guangpi to open Middle Jiao qi. The brilliance lies in Wuzhuyu draining and descending rebellious qi downward, and even more brilliantly in Binglang being heavy and sinking, allowing all herbs to reach the Lower Jiao directly. Opening, dispersing, draining, and absorbing, so that toxin-pathogens cannot ascend and obstruct entering the abdomen or rushing to the Heart, thus avoiding critical conditions. Taking it at Chicken Crow time allows Yang to inject into Yin. Taking medicine cold allows Yin to resolve the pathogen. Dong Yuan divided treatment methods into Northern and Southern regions, adjusting each according to what prevails, and doubling usage for compatible syndromes. This also elucidates what predecessors had not yet revealed. It depends on practitioners with flexible wisdom to deliberate and adapt, which is truly excellent.
