(From Yu Jiayan's *Yi Men Fa Lv* [Legal Principles of Medicine]) Treats conditions where the fire of Jueyang (rebellious Yang) becomes hyperactive due to the transformation of the Five Emotions (Joy, Anger, Worry, Thought, Fear) into fire, resulting in Guan Ge (a critical syndrome characterized by simultaneous vomiting and urinary retention).
Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata, 3 qian, extract juice) Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber, 2 qian, extract juice) Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix, 1.5 qian, steamed with human milk) Gan Cao (Licorice Root, honey-fried or roasted) E Jiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin) Hu Ma Ren (Semen Sesami Nigrum, crushed) Han Shui Shi (Armeniacae Semen Amarum? Note: Context suggests mineral, likely Bariti Stibii or similar cooling mineral, but standard translation for Han Shui Shi is often "Cold Water Stone" or specific mineral depending on interpretation. In this context of cooling fire, it refers to a mineral drug. WHO term: *Han Shui Shi*). (Regarding the preparation: Excluding the four juices and E Jiao, Xi Huang [Musk], there are eight ingredients in total. Use four tea cups of spring water, simmer slowly over low heat until reduced to one and a half cups. Remove the dregs, add the four juices and E Jiao, and...)
*Zi Ye Jiu Fen Tang* [Decoction for Nourishing Fluids to Save from Burning] by Master Yu; taken when Yang rises due to the Five Emotions causing Guan Ge. This formula combines principles from *Sheng Mai San* [Pulse-Generating Powder] and *Fu Mai Tang* [Pulse-Recovering Decoction], removes Gui Zhi [Cinnamon Twig], and adds Bai Zi Ren [Biota Seed], Han Shui Shi [Cold Water Stone], Hua Shi [Talcum], and Zi Shi Ying [Purple Quartz]. (It does not belong to the category of *Shen Qi Wan* [Kidney Qi Pill]; however, since this book classifies formulas into more than twenty-four categories, it appears not to be the complete work.) Brew and drink this using spring water collected at noon. (This is essentially *Fu Mai Tang* combined with *Sheng Mai San*, with Gui Zhi removed and other herbs added. The main idea of the formula can be summarized by the phrase "Nourish Fluids to Rescue from Burning." The addition of *Ba Wei Wan* [Eight-Ingredient Pill] aims to open the closure of the Kidney gate. Further explanations are detailed in the preceding *Tui Huang Lian Tang*. However, I have always maintained that this formula is suitable for treating various syndromes of Fire Flaring Upward and Fluid Exhaustion in the Upper Jiao, not limited solely to Guan Ge.)
