Fei Shi (Flying Corpse) refers to pathogenic factors that wander through the skin and penetrate the Zang-Fu organs. Each attack causes stabbing pain, and the condition changes unpredictably. Dun Shi (Lurking Corpse) attaches to bones and muscles, attacking blood vessels. During attacks, others dare not approach; it is triggered upon seeing funerals or hearing mourning cries. Feng Shi (Wind Corpse) invades the four limbs, causing loss of sensation regarding the location of pain. Attacks are characterized by drowsiness and are triggered by wind and snow. Chen Shi (Sinking Corpse) entangles bones and knots in the Zang-Fu organs, rushing against the heart and hypochondrium. Attacks feel like twisting pain and are triggered by cold weather. Zhu Shi (Poured Corpse) presents with heaviness of the whole body, mental confusion, and frequent drowsiness. It often worsens significantly during solar term transitions. All five types of Shi diseases are suitable for treatment using Honeysuckle Leaf (Jinyinhua Ye), chopped and boiled in large quantities to extract a concentrated juice, which is then processed into pills. Each dose should be the size of a chicken egg, taken three times daily.
A person who is usually healthy may suddenly appear dead: the body does not move, they remain silent and unconscious, eyes closed and unable to open, jaw clenched and unable to speak. Or they may have slight awareness but dislike hearing voices, feeling merely dizzy and confused, only waking up after some time. This is caused by excessive sweating leading to blood deficiency, where Qi merges into the Blood, Yang floats upward alone without descending, and Qi becomes stagnant and obstructed, making the body appear lifeless. When Qi moves and Blood returns, Yin and Yang reconnect, allowing recovery after some time. This condition is named Yu Mao (Depression and Dizziness), also known as Xue Jue (Blood Syncope), and is common in women. Baiwei Tang (White Anemone Decoction) and Cang Gong San (Cang Gong Powder) are appropriate.
Zhu Danxi stated: When people suddenly experience cold extremities, skin raised like millet grains, cyanosis of the head and face, mental confusion, delirious speech, locked jaw, or sudden collapse into coma, especially when attending funerals, entering temples, or visiting tombs, this disease often occurs. First, administer Suhexiang Wan (Styrax Pill). Then, treat with Tiaoqi San (Qi-Regulating Powder) [for Qi disorders] or Pingwei San (Peaceful Stomach Powder) [for Food Retention]. *Yuji Wei Yi* states: For sudden syncope, Fei Shi, Ke Wu (Guest Malevolence), Gui Ji (Ghost Strike), presenting with locked jaw, use Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) [for Taiyang Syndrome]. For Han Jue (Cold Syncope) with exterior heat and interior cold, presenting with diarrhea of undigested food, vomiting upon eating, deep pulse, and cold extremities, use Sini Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction) [for Cold Jue]. For Re Jue (Heat Syncope) with abdominal fullness, heavy body difficult to turn, foul complexion, delirium, urinary incontinence, cold extremities, spontaneous sweating, and deep slippery pulse, use Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) [for Heat Disorders].
Yang Yongxing of the Jin Yi Wei (Embroidered Uniform Guard) family was avoiding disaster; a servant who missed it due to drunkenness subsequently became mentally obscure with widespread bruising. He was cured by administering Jinyin Teng (Honeysuckle Vine) decoction. A woman suddenly fell into a stupor and spoke deliriously, claiming she was being taken to the City God Temple for judgment because she had previously defrauded someone of silver and was being blamed by deities. Her ankles, knees, and buttocks were swollen and blue, unbearable in pain. She woke the next day, but pain persisted. She was cured by taking approximately two liang of Jinyin Teng decocted in water. Another woman entered an ancient tomb and suffered from the same symptoms; she revived immediately after having Zijin Ding (Purple Gold Pellet) ground into juice and administered. Yu Zihua, Commissioner of Communications, and Wang Yongzhi, Grand Secretary of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, both died after visiting mourning households, likely suffering from this condition. Taiyi Shenjing Dan (Great One Spirit Essence Pill) [see Delirium], Suhexiang Wan [see Stroke], and Xiong Zhu San [see Delirium] are relevant formulas.
Baiwei Tang (White Anemone Decoction)
Ingredients: Baiwei (Radix Cynanchi Atrati), Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) (each 1 liang); Renshen (Radix Ginseng) (0.5 liang); Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae) (2.5 qian).
Preparation: Coarsely crush the herbs. Take 5 qian per dose, add 2 cups of water, boil down to 1 cup, and take warm.
Cang Gong San (Cang Gong Powder)
Indications: Sudden Gui Ji (Ghost Strike), Gui Zhu (Ghost Infestation), Gui Ci (Ghost Pierce), causing stabbing pain in the heart and abdomen, hematochezia, immediate death with unconsciousness, sleep paralysis, or insensitivity of toes and teeth; also various toxic vapors.
Ingredients: Gouti Mo (Powder of Cucumis Melo Seed), Lilü Mo (Powder of Veratri Viridis Rhizoma), Xionghuang (Realgar), Fanshi (Alumen) (all finely powdered, equal parts). Note: *Jiu Weisheng Fang* omits Gouti Mo and includes Zaojiao Mo (Powder of Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus).
Preparation: Grind all ingredients into a fine powder and mix thoroughly. Blow a small amount into the nose. Inducing sneezing will clear the airways and bowel movement, reviving the patient. If no sneeze occurs, blow again until sneezing happens. This medicine can revive the seemingly dead; using Zaojiao Mo is considered more correct.
Buyi Neibi San (Supplemental Nasal Powder)
Indications: Shi Jue (Corpse Syncope) with palpable pulse but no breath, Qi obstruction, quiet appearance resembling death, also called Zu Jue (Sudden Syncope).
Ingredients: Shichangpu (Rhizoma Acori Tatarinowii) (dehairy, powdered).
Usage: Use a quantity equivalent to "two characters" (approx. 2 grams) of powder, blow into the nose. Place Guimo (Cortex Cinnamomi) powder under the tongue simultaneously.
Liuhuang San (Sulfur Powder)
Indications: Shi Jue (Corpse Syncope) with sudden death-like state, cold extremities, unconsciousness, and rumbling gas in the abdomen.
Ingredients: Yanxiao (Natrii Nitras), Liuhuang (Sulfur) (0.5 liang and 1 liang respectively).
Preparation: Finely grind and divide into three doses. Mix with wine and administer. After the distance a person walks in five li, administer another dose. Recovery usually occurs within three doses.
