虞抟云∶一男子年二十九，三月间房事后，骑马渡溪，遇深渊沉没，幸得马健无事，
连湿衣行十五里抵家，次日憎寒壮热，肢节烦疼，似疟非疟之状。一医作虚证治，而用
补气血药，服之月余不效。又易一医，作劳瘵治，用四物汤加知、柏、地骨皮之类，及
丹溪大补阴丸，倍加紫河车服，至九月反加满闷不食。乃顾倩有乳妇人在家，止吃人乳
汁四五杯，不吃米粒。召予诊视，六脉皆洪缓，重按若牢，右手为甚。予作湿郁处治，用
平胃散倍苍术，加半夏、茯苓、白术、川芎、香附、木通、砂仁、防风、羌活，加姜煎服，
黄昏服一帖，一更时又进一帖，至半夜遍身发红丹如瘾疹，片时随没而大汗，索粥，与
稀粥二碗，由是前病除减能食，仍与前方服三帖，后以茯苓渗湿汤倍加白术，服二十余帖平安。

Yueju Wan (Formula by Zhu Danxi) Treats various types of Yu (Depression/Stagnation).
Xiangfu (Cyperus Rhizoma), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, soaked in rice wash overnight, stir-fried), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Rhizoma and Radix, each 2 liang), Shanzhi (Gardeniae Fructus, stir-fried), Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata, each 1.5 liang).
Pulverize, mix with water to form pills the size of mung beans. Take 100 pills per dose, swallowed with warm water.
Qiyu Tang (Qi Stagnation Decoction) Treats Qi stagnation caused by unfulfilled desires, adverse circumstances, poverty and distress, sudden anger, grief, or excessive thinking. The manifestations include chest and hypochondriac fullness and pain, with a deep and choppy pulse.
Xiangfu (Cyperus Rhizoma, soaked in urine of a young boy overnight, baked dry, pounded to remove hairs, made into coarse powder, 3 qian), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Juhong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum), Zhibanxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum, each 1.5 qian), Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus, heart removed), Baifuling (Poria, 1.5 qian implied by context of "each" for subsequent items? No, list structure suggests grouping. Let's follow text: Cangzhu, Juhong, Zhibanxia are grouped as "each 1.5 qian". Beimu is separate? Text says "Beimu (remove heart) Baifuling Fuxiong Zisuye... Shanzhiren (stir-fried, each 1 qian)". This implies Beimu, Baifuling, Fuxiong, Zisuye, Shanzhiren are likely 1 qian each or grouped. Standard interpretation of such lists often groups them. Let's assume standard dosage distribution based on "each 1 qian" applying to the group following it or preceding if specified. Text: "Beimu (remove heart) Baifuling Fuxiong Zisuye (use seed if spontaneous sweating) Shanzhiren (stir-fried, each 1 qian)". It is ambiguous if Beimu/Baifuling/Fuxiong/Zisuye share the 1 qian. Given typical formulas, they are often similar doses. I will translate literally without assuming specific weight if not explicit, but "each 1 qian" usually applies to the listed items. Let's look at the next line: "Gancao Muxiang Binglang (each 5 fen)". So Beimu, Baifuling, Fuxiong, Zisuye, Shanzhiren are likely 1 qian each.
*Correction*: The text lists: "Beimu (qu xin) Baifuling Fuxiong Zisuye (zi han ze yong zi) Shanzhiren (chao, ge yi qian)". This syntax usually means these five are 1 qian each.
Gancao (Licorice Root), Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Binglang (Arecae Semen, each 5 fen).
Decoct with 5 slices of Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens). If there is stabbing pain in the chest and hypochondrium, this indicates blood stasis; refer to Xueyu Tang for treatment.
Shiyu Tang (Dampness Stagnation Decoction) Treats dampness stagnation caused by exposure to rain and dew, mountain miasma, sitting or lying on wet ground, or wearing clothes while sweating. The manifestations include heavy and painful body, fatigue and desire to lie down, worsening in cold and yin weather, with a deep, fine, and slow pulse.
Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, 3 qian), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Xiangfu (Cyperus Rhizoma), Juhong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum), Nongpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, stir-fried with ginger juice), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum), Baifuling (Poria), Fuxiong (Chuanxiong, Ligusticum Rhizoma and Radix), Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Duhuo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix, each 1 qian), Gancao (Licorice Root, 5 fen).
Decoct with 5 slices of Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) in water.
Yu Tun recorded: A 29-year-old man had intercourse in March, then rode a horse across a stream. He fell into a deep pool and submerged. Fortunately, the horse was strong and he survived. He walked 15 li home wearing wet clothes. The next day, he experienced aversion to cold and high fever, vexing pain in limbs and joints, resembling malaria but not quite. One physician treated it as a deficiency syndrome using Qi- and Blood-tonifying herbs, which proved ineffective after more than a month. Another physician treated it as Laozai (consumptive disease) using Siwu Tang added with Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), Digupi (Lycii Cortex), and Danxi's Dabu Yin Wan, plus extra Ziheche (Placenta Hominis). By September, his symptoms worsened with abdominal fullness and anorexia. Gu Qian had a wet nurse at home who drank only 4-5 cups of human milk and no grain. I examined him; all six pulses were surging and moderate, firm upon heavy pressure, especially on the right hand. I diagnosed it as Dampness Stagnation and treated it with Pingwei San doubled in Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), added Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), Fuling (Poria), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Rhizoma and Radix), Xiangfu (Cyperus Rhizoma), Mutong (Akebiae Caulis), Sharen (Amomi Fructus), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), and Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), decocted with ginger. He took one dose at dusk and another at first watch. By midnight, his whole body broke out in red rashes like urticaria, which disappeared shortly after followed by profuse sweating. He asked for porridge; I gave him two bowls of thin porridge. Consequently, his previous symptoms subsided, and he could eat. He continued the same formula for three more doses, then used Fuling Shenshi Tang doubled in Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) for over twenty doses, after which he recovered fully.
Xueyu Tang (Blood Stagnation Decoction) Any emotional depression, loud shouting in extreme anger, irregular living habits, trauma causing blood stasis, or any condition of hunger/fullness and labor can cause Blood Stagnation. The pulse is deep, choppy, and hollow (Kou). The body presents with frequent stabbing pain in the chest and hypochondrium.
Xiangfu (Cyperus Rhizoma, prepared with urine of a young boy, 2 qian), Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex), ChiQu (Red Massa Medicata Fermentata), Chuantongcao (Tetrapanacis Medulla), Chuanshanjia (Manis Squama), Jiangzhenxiang (Daemonorops Spatha), Sumu (Sappan Lignum), Shanzharon (Crataegi Fructus), Dayamai (Hordei Fructus Germinatus, stir-fried and crushed, each 1 qian), Honghua (Carthami Flos, 7 fen).
Decoct with half water and half wine. Strain, add Tao Ren (Persicae Semen, peeled and pounded, 7 fen) and Jiuji Zhi (Allii Tuberosi Juice, half zhan), mix well, and take orally.
Reyu Tang (Heat Stagnation Decoction) Some cases arise from Yin deficiency; others result from Spleen-Stomach deficiency and consumption of cold foods, which suppress Yang Qi within the Spleen Earth. Their treatments are described in the Fever section. This formula treats cases that are neither Yin deficiency nor Yang collapse, and do not present with fever, but rather a constant sensation of internal steaming heat.
Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus, 4 qian), Boheye (Menthae Haplocalycis Folium), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, each 1.5 qian), Shanzhiren (Gardeniae Fructus, 2 qian), Maimendong (Ophiopogonis Radix, heart removed, 3 qian), Gancao (Licorice Root, 5 fen), Yujin (Curcumae Radix, 1 qian), Gualoupi Rang (Trichosanthis Pericarpium, 2 qian).
Decoct with 7 leaves of Zhuye (Bambusae Folium).
Question: Why are Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Xiangfu (Cyperus Rhizoma), and Fuxiong (Chuanxiong) not used? Answer: Fire tends towards dryness; drying herbs can assist fire, so they are not used.
Tan Yu (Phlegm Stagnation) should be sought in the Phlegm-Fluids section; Shi Yu (Food Stagnation) should be sought in the Food Injuries section, so no formulas are listed here.
