Within the modification methods of the Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Blue Dragon Decoction) formula:

If there is slight diarrhea, remove Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄) and add {Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix (Raogonghua, 荛花), size of a chicken egg, roasted until red} [change to Poria (Fuling, 茯苓), four liang].
【Note】"Add Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix size of a chicken egg" is likely a transcription error. According to Materia Medica, Raogonghua belongs to the same category as Yuanhuahua (Genkwa Flos). When used to attack water retention, its power is extremely fierce; half a qian (approx. 1.5g) can cause dozens of bowel movements. How could one use a chicken-egg-sized dose of Raogonghua to treat slight diarrhea caused by retained fluid? It should be changed to adding four liang of Poria.

In Taiyang Cold Damage (Taiyang Shanghan, 太阳伤寒), with fluid retention in the epigastrium, coughing with slight wheezing, fever but no thirst, (Xiao Qing Long Tang is the primary treatment). After taking the decoction, if the patient feels thirsty, this indicates that the cold pathogen has departed and the disease is about to resolve.
【Note】The six characters "Xiao Qing Long Tang is the primary treatment" should be placed after "fever but no thirst" to align logically with the subsequent text regarding thirst after medication. There is no logic in administering Xiao Qing Long Tang again when the cold has already departed and the disease is resolving. The position should be moved.

In Yangming Disease, if the pulse is floating and tight, tidal fever must occur at specific times; if the pulse is only floating (without tightness), spontaneous sweating must occur.
【Note】Spontaneous sweating is a symptom of Yangming syndrome, while night sweating is a symptom of Shaoyang syndrome. "Night sweating" should be corrected to "spontaneous sweating."

In Yangming Disease, with a slow pulse, profuse sweating, (fever), and slight aversion to cold, the exterior pattern remains unresolved. Sweating may be induced, and Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) is appropriate.
【Note】The two characters "fever" should be added after "profuse sweating." Without these words, a slow pulse with profuse sweating and slight aversion to cold indicates deficiency of Exterior Yang, which corresponds to the indication for Guizhi Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Aconite Decoction). There is no rationale for using Guizhi Tang to induce sweating in this case. These characters should be supplemented.

In Cold Damage, with a floating and slippery pulse, this indicates heat in the exterior and {cold} [heat] in the interior. Bai Hu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) is the primary treatment.
【Note】The character "cold" in "cold in the interior" should be "heat." If it were cold, it would not be an indication for Bai Hu Tang. This should be corrected.

After purging or vomiting in Cold Damage, if the condition remains unresolved, with constipation for five to six days up to ten-plus days, tidal fever occurring around the Shen hour (3-5 PM), no aversion to cold, and muttering as if seeing ghosts: In severe cases, upon onset, the patient loses consciousness, grasps clothing and bedrails, is terrified and restless, with slight wheezing and fixed gaze. If the pulse is {wiry} [slippery], life is possible; if the pulse is choppy, death ensues. In milder cases, presenting only with fever and delirium, Da Cheng Qi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) is the primary treatment. If one dose results in bowel movement, discontinue subsequent doses.
【Note】The character "wiry" in "wiry pulse indicates survival" should be "slippery." A wiry pulse indicates Yin excess and negative decline, which does not inherently suggest survival. Only a slippery pulse, being Yang, suggests vitality. Slippery implies flow, while choppy implies obstruction. Generally, flow leads to life and obstruction to death. This should be corrected.

In Taiyang Disease, with a slow pulse at the cun position, floating at the guan position, and weak at the chi position, the patient presents with fever, sweating, aversion to cold, no vomiting, but epigastric fullness/stuffiness. This is due to improper purging by the physician. If purging was not performed, and the patient is not averse to cold but is thirsty, the disease has transferred to Yangming. Frequent urination leads to hard stools; even without defecation for ten days, there is no distress. If thirsty and desiring water, give small amounts frequently. {But rescue according to method} [if urination is difficult], and if thirsty, Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) is appropriate.
【Note】The five characters "but rescue according to method" should be "if urination is difficult" to connect with the preceding text on frequent urination and the following text on thirst. The current text suggesting no urgent rescue is nonsensical. Wang Sanyang previously stated that Wu Ling San is difficult to apply here; otherwise, there is missing text after "thirsty." This should be corrected.

Zhi Zi Bo Pi Tang (Gardenia and Phellodendron Bark Decoction)
【Note】The Licorice Root (Gancao, 甘草) in this formula should be Yinchen Hao (Artemisiae Scopariae Herba); this is a transcription error.

In Taiyang Disease, one should have aversion to cold and fever. Now, the patient sweats spontaneously and lacks aversion to cold and fever, with a fine and rapid pulse at the guan position. This is an error caused by the physician's improper use of emesis. If emesis is used on day one or two, the patient feels hungry in the abdomen but cannot eat; if used on day three or four, the patient dislikes congee and desires cold food. (If used on day five or six, morning food is vomited in the evening.) This is caused by the physician's improper emesis and is considered a minor deviation.
【Note】The six characters "if used on day five or six" should be added after "desires cold food." Without this sentence, the text regarding disliking congee and desiring cold food does not connect with "morning food vomited in the evening." Furthermore, analyzing the progression from day one/two to day three/four reveals the necessity of the "day five/six" phrase to illustrate the deepening pathology. This should be supplemented.

If the pulse at the cun kou is floating and large, but the physician uses purging, this is a major deviation. Floating indicates blood deficiency; large indicates cold. When cold qi contends, borborygmus occurs. Unaware of this, the physician gives cold water. {Causing profuse sweating}, the water meets the cold qi, causing them to contend. The patient will suffer from [swelling/pain - note: original text 'KT' is unclear/erroneous].
【Note】The four characters "causing profuse sweating" are likely interpolations (extraneous text) and should be deleted.

In Yangming Disease, with delirium and tidal fever, if the patient cannot eat, there must be dry feces (five or six pellets) in the stomach. (Da Cheng Qi Tang should be used to purge.) If the patient can eat, the stool is merely hard.
【Note】The phrase "Da Cheng Qi Tang should be used to purge" should follow "there must be dry feces." Using Da Cheng Qi Tang solely for hard stool contradicts Zhang Zhongjing's principle of caution against improper purging. The position should be moved.

In Yangming Wind Strike, with a wiry, floating, and large pulse, shortness of breath, abdominal fullness, pain in the hypochondrium and heart region, obstruction of qi upon prolonged pressure, dry nose, inability to sweat, lethargy, jaundice of the whole body and face, difficult urination, tidal fever, occasional hiccups, and swelling around the ears and temples: After acupuncture, symptoms improve slightly, but the exterior pattern remains unresolved. If the disease persists beyond ten days and the pulse continues to be {floating} [wiry], administer Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction).
If the pulse is only floating without other symptoms, administer Ma Huang Tang (Ephedra Decoction). If there is no urination, accompanied by abdominal fullness and hiccups, the condition is untreatable.
【Note】The character "floating" in "continues to be floating" should be "wiry" to match the pulse indication for Xiao Chai Hu Tang. If it were "floating," it would contradict the earlier statement that floating pulse warrants Xiao Chai Hu Tang, while later stating floating pulse warrants Ma Huang Tang. This should be corrected.

After inducing sweating, if water and medicine cannot be kept down, it is a adverse reaction. If sweating is induced again, vomiting will {and diarrhea} continue endlessly.
【Note】The character "diarrhea" in "vomiting and diarrhea will continue endlessly" is extraneous and should be deleted.
