The pulse at the cun position is both moving (Dong) and weak (Ruo). A moving pulse indicates fright, while a weak pulse indicates palpitations.
[Shen] Fright enters from the outside, while palpitations arise from within. Palpitations refer to a state where the heart spirit is confused and the heartbeat is uncontrollable.
[Xu] In the previous chapter on Running Piglet disease, it was mentioned that there are cases of fright and terror, and fire pathogen diseases, all of which originate from fright. Here, fright and palpitations are discussed separately, not to detail the origin of the disease, but to indicate that among the diseases, some involve fright-induced mania and restlessness, while others only present with palpitations and uneasiness. Fright involves evil invading the heart and belongs to excess patterns; thus, the pulse at the cun position is moving. A "moving" pulse feels granular, like a bean jumping. Palpitations involve the spirit failing to govern and belong to deficiency patterns; thus, the pulse at the cun position is weak. A "weak" pulse arrives without strength. The combination of moving and weak pulses indicates that while evil has invaded, the original root of the heart is deficient, leading to simultaneous manifestations of fright and palpitations. However, the pulse still distinguishes the two: a moving pulse reflects the emission of fright qi, and a weak pulse reflects the formation of palpitation qi. Therefore, it is said that a moving pulse indicates fright, and a weak pulse indicates palpitations.
The Master said: If the chi pulse is floating, and the eyes have a yellow halo, epistaxis has not stopped. If the yellow halo disappears and the eyes become clear, one knows that the epistaxis has now stopped. (Regarding "chi," Zhao Kaimei, Cheng Lin, and Jin Jian's editions read "fu." *Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* reads "chi zhong zi fu." There is no "bi" character before the sentence in some versions. *Mai Jing* records: Question: What is the pulse when epistaxis persists for days? Answer: The pulse comes lightly in the muscle layer, and the chi position naturally overflows. Note: Some say the chi pulse is floating; the following text is the same as this article.)
[You] A floating chi pulse indicates wandering fire in the kidney; a yellow halo around the eyes indicates accumulated heat in the liver. If epistaxis presents with these signs, the bleeding will not stop easily. Blood belongs to yin and is forced by the heat of kidney and liver fire, failing to remain contained. If the yellow halo disappears and the eyes become clear, it indicates that not only has liver heat been eliminated, but kidney heat has also cleared. Thus, the epistaxis should now stop.
It is also said: Epistaxis occurring from spring to summer belongs to the Taiyang channel; epistaxis occurring from autumn to winter belongs to the Yangming channel.
[You] Bleeding from yin channels and the Chong and Ren vessels is termed hematemesis; bleeding from yang channels and the Du vessel is termed epistaxis. Therefore, epistaxis always involves yang channels. The difference lies in seasons: in spring and summer, yang qi floats, so it belongs to Taiyang; in autumn and winter, yang qi hides, so it belongs to Yangming. This is because, regarding yin and yang, yang governs the exterior and yin governs the interior; regarding the three yang channels, Taiyang governs opening, and Yangming governs closing. The Shaoyang channel does not enter the nose, so it does not primarily govern epistaxis.
Patients prone to epistaxis should not be treated with sweating methods. If sweat is induced, the temples may sink, the pulse becomes tight and urgent, the eyes stare fixedly without blinking, and sleep is impossible.
[You] Both blood and sweat belong to yin fluids. If a patient prone to epistaxis undergoes sweating, yin fluids are severely damaged. The pulse is the residence of blood. The sinking of the temples refers to the depression of the arteries on both sides of the forehead due to blood loss above. A tight and urgent pulse occurs because the blood at the cun position fails to nourish, losing its softness, like wood branches becoming stiff without sap. Fixed staring, inability to blink, and insomnia occur because yin qi is exhausted, leaving yang qi unopposed. The classic states: "Those who lose blood should not sweat," which refers to this situation. (See *Shanghan Lun Ji Yi*, Taiyang Middle Chapter.)
If a patient has a pale complexion without cold or fever, and the pulse is deep and wiry, it indicates epistaxis; if the pulse is floating and weak, disappearing upon pressure, it indicates lower gastrointestinal bleeding; if accompanied by irritability and cough, hematemesis is certain. (*Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* lacks the word "wu" before "han re." Zhao, Xu, Shen, and You editions lack the character "xue" in "wu yan se.")
[Cheng] *Ling Shu* states: Those who suffer blood loss have a sallow, lusterless complexion. *Shang Jing* states: Pale complexion in men indicates thirst and blood loss. The current patient's pale face indicates blood depletion. *Shang Jing* also states: Men with empty, deep, and wiry pulses, without cold or fever, often experience dizziness and epistaxis. The current case, lacking cold/fever but having a wiry pulse and epistaxis, resembles this labor disease pattern. If the pulse is floating and weak, disappearing upon pressure, it indicates yang without yin. Thus, lower bleeding is known; irritability and cough indicate pathology in the upper jiao, confirming hematemesis.
[You] No cold or fever means the disease is not due to external contraction. Epistaxis from external causes typically presents with a floating and large pulse due to heavy yang qi. Epistaxis from internal injury typically presents with a deep and wiry pulse due to aggressive yin qi. Although different from the floating chi pulse mentioned earlier, both indicate yin instability. A floating, weak pulse disappearing upon pressure indicates excessive lower bleeding and insufficient yin pulses. Irritability and cough indicate blood overflowing from above, causing dryness in the heart and lungs. These are diagnostic signs appearing after the disease is established.
Hematemesis accompanied by cough, upward rushing of qi, a rapid pulse, fever, and inability to lie down indicates a fatal prognosis. (*Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* adds "floating and large" after "rapid".)
[You] A rapid pulse and body heat indicate unopposed yang. Hematemesis, cough, upward rushing of qi, and inability to lie down indicate the scorching of yin. With yin already scorched opposing unopposed yang, there is a trend of complete exhaustion, hence death.
Wine drinkers who cough will inevitably develop hematemesis, caused by excessive drinking.
[Xu] This indicates that hematemesis is not necessarily due to qi failing to control blood or blazing yin fire. In wine drinkers, coughing indicates extreme lung damage. The vibration from coughing forces blood to vomit. Thus, it is caused by excessive drinking. Treatment should focus on clearing wine-heat.
*San Yin Fang* records: Patients injured by overeating or suffering from stomach deficiency unable to digest food may experience retching and vomiting. Food and qi rush up, crushing the stomach gate, causing rupture and bleeding. The blood is bright red, accompanied by severe heart and abdominal pain and spontaneous white sweat. This is called "stomach-injury hematemesis." Lizhong Tang can stop it because it regulates the middle jiao, separates yin and yang, and stabilizes blood vessels. (*Zheng Zhi Yao Jue* adds Ge Gen and Chuan Xiong.) Alternatively, boiling Gan Jiang and Gan Cao decoction is also effective. See *Yang Sheng Bi Yong*.
The pulse at the cun position is wiry and large. Wiry indicates reduction (deficiency), and large indicates hollow (Kou). Reduction indicates cold, and hollow indicates deficiency. Cold and deficiency striking each other is named "Ge" (Leather) pulse. In women, this leads to miscarriage and metrorrhagia; in men, it leads to blood loss.
[You] This clause appears in the Consumption Disease chapter. Zhang Zhongjing repeats it to emphasize that blood loss syndromes can arise from deficiency-cold.
In cases of blood loss, surface-releasing methods should not be used. If sweat is induced, chills and tremors will occur. (*Taiyang Middle Chapter*, *Mai Jing* adds "xia" after "blood" and "jia" after "ji".)
[Jian] After any blood loss, when qi and blood have not recovered, it is called blood loss. Sweating must be avoided. Initially, blood loss involves yang-heat; afterward, heat leaves with the blood. Although heat subsides, qi follows blood into deficiency, and yang becomes weak. If sweating is induced, yang qi becomes critically weak and cannot support the body, resulting in cold chills and trembling. Inducing sweat in yin-deficiency leads to yin collapse (similar to sweating from hematemesis/epistaxis), causing inability to close eyes and insomnia. Inducing sweat in yang-deficiency leads to yang collapse (similar to sweating from blood loss), causing cold chills and tremors. Li Dongyuan said: "Those who lose blood should not sweat," because sweat and blood are both fluids of the heart. When blood is lost and fluids exhausted, no fluid remains to form sweat. Further releasing the exterior causes yin deficiency and further yang collapse, leaving defensive qi extremely weak, hence chills and tremors.
A patient with chest fullness, withered lips, blue tongue, dry mouth, desiring to rinse water but not swallow, without cold or fever, with a pulse that is slightly large and slow, and an abdomen that is not distended though the patient claims fullness, has blood stasis. (*Mai Jing* adds eleven characters below: "When sweat should be released but is not, internal binding also causes blood stasis".)
[Jian] Exterior excess with no sweat, chest fullness, and wheezing is wind-cold chest fullness. Interior excess with constipation, chest fullness, and irritability is heat obstruction chest fullness. Facial edema, chest fullness, and wheezing preventing lying down is fluid retention chest fullness. Uncomfortable breathing, chest fullness relieved by sighing is qi stagnation chest fullness. Now, the patient has no cold/fever or other illnesses, only chest fullness, withered lips, blue tongue, dry mouth, and desiring to rinse but not swallow. This is blood stasis chest fullness. Lips and tongue are where blood flourishes; blood disease fails to nourish, causing withering and color change. Heat in the blood level causes dry mouth and desire to rinse but not swallow. A pulse that is slightly large and slow is a diagnosis of yin condensation, which should present with abdominal fullness. Since the abdomen is not full, but the patient claims fullness, the fullness is in the chest, not the abdomen. Inferring from the above symptoms, this is blood stasis.
[Shen] If qi-level heat were excessive, abdominal distension would occur. Since the abdomen is not full, but the patient claims fullness, it is internal blood congestion and qi stagnation causing distension, despite the exterior appearing normal. Thus, it is known to be blood stasis.
Commentary: Cheng Lin's note that the reason for "withered lips" is unknown is incorrect.
A patient presenting with sensations of heat, irritability, chest fullness, dry mouth, and thirst, but whose pulse shows no heat signs, has heat hidden in the yin levels. This is blood stasis. It should be treated with purgation. ("Fu" in "Yin Fu" is read as "Zhuang" in Zhao's edition, which is incorrect.)
[Jian] This continues the previous discussion, detailing symptoms and pulses to clarify treatment. "Sensations of heat" refers to the heat syndrome of heart irritability, chest fullness, and dry mouth/thirst. Such a person should have a rapid and large yang pulse. Instead, a deep and hidden yin pulse is seen, indicating heat hidden in yin, which is blood stasis. For blood stasis, purgation is indicated, using formulas like Tao He Cheng Qi Tang or Di Dang Tang/Wan.
Fire pathogen disease is treated with Gui Zhi Qu Shao Yao Jia Shu Xi Mu Li Long Gu Jiu Ni Tang. (Shen's edition does not record this clause.)
[Cheng] This chapter should be in the eighth section; bamboo slips were misplaced here.
[You] Only "fire pathogen" is mentioned without detailed symptoms. According to *Shanghan Lun*: In typhoid with a floating pulse, if the doctor uses fire methods to force sweating, yang collapse leads to fright, mania, and restlessness. Also: In Taiyang disease, if fire moxibustion is used and no sweat results, the patient becomes agitated; if unresolved by the cycle, rectal bleeding occurs, named fire pathogen. Zhang Zhongjing's clause likely prepares for symptoms of fright/palpitations and lower bleeding. Removing Sour Shao Yao from Gui Zhi Tang and adding Acrid Shu Xi allows fire and wind evil to scatter simultaneously without retention, driving out external pathogens. Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell converge floating spirit and qi.
Commentary: *Waitai Miyao·Running Piglet Gate* cites *Duan Ju*: The Master said: Diseases include running piglet, pus vomiting, fright/terror, and fire pathogen. These four diseases all originate from fright. Fire pathogen is treated with Gui Zhi Jia Long Gu Mu Li Tang. Based on this, Cheng's note is correct.
Gui Zhi Jiu Ni Tang Formula
Gui Zhi (3 liang, peeled) Gan Cao (2 liang, honey-fried) Sheng Jiang (3 liang) Mu Li (5 liang, calcined) Long Gu (4 liang)
Da Zao (12 pieces) Shu Xi (3 liang, washed to remove fishy odor)
Grind into powder. Use 1 dou 2 sheng of water. First boil Shu Xi, reduce by 2 sheng. Add other herbs.
Boil to obtain 3 sheng. Remove dregs. Warm dose of 1 sheng. ("Powder" version in Song edition *Shanghan Lun* lists seven ingredients, which is correct.)
Palpitations in the epigastrium are treated with Ban Xia Huang Qin Wan. (*Mai Jing* lacks this clause.)
[Jian] This formula treats epigastric palpitations due to cold-water, inconsistent with the weak-pulse palpitation in the first clause. It is likely a misplaced slip.
Ban Xia Huang Qin Wan Formula (*Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang* has no formula name.)
Ban Xia (*Zhou Hou*: wash in decoction to remove slipperiness, dry) Huang Qin (equal parts)
Grind the two ingredients into powder. Mix with refined honey to make pills the size of adzuki beans. Take 3 pills with water, three times daily.
Note: Three pills is very few; *Ben Cao Gang Mu* suggests 30 pills, which seems plausible. However, this formula is questionable.
Unremitting hematemesis is treated by Bai Ye Tang.
[Xu] Emphasis is placed on "unremitting," implying cold-cooling hemostatic drugs are ineffective. Hematemesis originates from yang deficiency failing to guide blood into vessels. However, blood loss leads to yin deficiency. Thus, Bai Ye (Cassia Twig), which nourishes yin most effectively, is used as the sovereign herb. Ai Ye (Mugwort Leaf), which travels through meridians, is the minister. Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger) warms the stomach as the assistant. Ma Tong (Horse Dung Juice) guides downward as the envoy. Without Ma Tong, child urine (Tong Bian) is acceptable.
According to *Ben Cao*, this formula uses one handful of Bai Ye, 3 sheng of Gan Jiang, one piece of E Jiao, boiled together with 1 sheng of Ma Tong. Uncertainty remains.
[Cheng] The middle jiao receives qi, extracts juices, transforms them into red blood. Blood nourishes organs internally and flows in muscles externally, circulating like a spring. Heat forces blood to run wild, causing hematemesis/epistaxis (see Xie Xin Tang syndrome). Cold prevents blood from flowing with qi, causing it to seep into the stomach and vomit, leading to continuous bleeding. Bai Ye Tang consists of acrid-warm agents. *Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing* states: Bai Ye stops hematemesis; Gan Jiang stops spitting blood; Ai Ye stops hematemesis. Ma Tong is horse dung. Feces must pass through the intestines to exit, hence "Tong" (through/unblocked); it is slightly warm and stops hematemesis. All four are acrid-warm yang-moving agents, guiding blood back into vessels and tunnels, stopping bleeding.
Bai Ye Tang Formula (*Waitai* cites *Shanghan Lun*; *Qian Jin* has no name.)
Bai Ye Gan Jiang (each 3 liang ○ *Qian Jin* 2 liang; *Waitai* Qing Bai Ye 3 liang, Gan Jiang 2 liang, sliced) Ai Ye (3 bundles ○ *Qian Jin* 1 bundle)
Boil the three ingredients in 5 sheng of water, adding 1 sheng of Ma Tong juice. Boil to obtain 1 sheng. Divide into two warm doses. (Note: *Waitai* says: Boil three ingredients in 5 sheng water to 1 sheng, remove dregs, squeeze fresh Ma Tong juice 1 sheng, mix and boil to 1 sheng, filter through silk, warm divide two doses. Ma Tong is horse dung juice. One version has E Jiao, no Ai Ye; *Waitai* is correct. ○ *Zheng Lei Ben Cao*: Horse dung is Ma Tong, stops metrorrhagia, hematemesis, melena, and traumatic bleeding.)
*Qian Jin Fang*: Treats hematemesis, internal collapse, upward rushing qi, sallow complexion. (Same formula; note: Zhongjing's Bai Ye Tang does not use E Jiao. *Duan Ju* does not use Bai Ye, same as *Zhou Hou*.)
Also treats upper jiao heat damaging diaphragm, hematemesis, epistaxis, or continuous lower bleeding threatening life.
Remove Bai Ye from this formula, add Zhu Ru and E Jiao.
Lower bleeding where stool precedes blood is distant blood (Yuan Xue), treated by Huang Tu Tang. ("Yuan" originally printed as "Jin," error. Corrected per collation.)
[Cheng] Stool preceding blood means blood descends with stool. *Nei Jing* states: Jie Yin disease, one sheng of bloody stool, twice two sheng, thrice three sheng. Yin qi binds internally, cannot move outward; blood lacks guidance and seeps into intestines. Upper Classic states: Cold in small intestine causes heaviness and bloody stool. Intestines have夹层 (interlayers) with fatty membranes. When harmonious, qi and blood flow; when dysregulated, blood seeps from interlayers into intestines, not from outside. Immediate seepage yields bright red blood; retained seepage yields dark blood. *Nei Jing* states: Disharmony of yin pulses causes blood stasis. Using thick-scented Huang Tu and Fu Zi, blood warmed follows meridians. Jie Yin types suit warming tonification.
[Jian] Stool preceding blood is distant blood, meaning blood is in the stomach. Ancient term: Jie Yin; modern term: Melena. Blood preceding stool is near blood (Jin Xue), meaning blood is in the intestines. Ancient term: Chang Pi/Hemorrhoids; modern term: Zang Du/Chang Feng. Zhao Liang says: Gut/intestines are Yangming channels. Below blood refers to stomach above large intestine. If blood gathers in stomach, stool precedes blood, far from anus, hence "distant." If in large intestine, near anus, hence "near."
[You] Huang Tu is warm/dry entering spleen, combined with Bai Zhu and Fu Zi to restore movement. E Jiao, Di Huang, Gan Cao replenish depleted blood. Fearful that acrid-warm agents harm blood, Huang Qin (bitter/cold) prevents excess. This is a disciplined army.
Huang Tu Tang Formula ([Original Note]: Also treats hematemesis/epistaxis. ○ *Waitai* cites *Shanghan Lun*. ○ *Qian Jin* treats sudden hematemesis/epistaxis.)
Gan Cao Gan Di Huang (*Qian Jin* uses Gan Jiang, note: Zhongjing uses Di Huang) Bai Zhu Fu Zi (prepared ○ *Qian Jin* none)
E Jiao (*Waitai* has "roasted") Huang Qin (each 3 liang) Zao Zhong Huang Tu (8 liang ○ *Qian Jin* Fu Long Gan 0.5 sheng; *Waitai* Fu Zao Xia Huang Jiao Tu 0.5 sheng, wrapped in silk)
Boil seven ingredients in 8 sheng water to 3 sheng. Divide into two warm doses. (*Waitai*: Boil six ingredients to 2 sheng, remove dregs, melt E Jiao.)
Lower bleeding where blood precedes stool is near blood (Jin Xue), treated by Chi Xiao Dou Dang Gui San. (Formula in Huo Huo chapter.)
[Cheng] This refers to *Nei Jing*: Irregular diet/lifestyle injures yin. Yin injury enters five zang, causing Chang Pi/bloody stool. Dang Gui harmonizes blood vessels; Chi Xiao Dou clears zang toxin. Different from Huang Tu Tang. Mei Shi Fang: Heat-toxin lower bleeding or triggered by hot food, use Chi Xiao Dou powder mixed with water. Thus, this formula treats Zang Du lower bleeding; Huang Tu Tang treats Jie Yin lower bleeding. Vast difference.
Xu's *Yi Fa Zhi Nan*: Blood before stool is near blood, large intestine, acute onset, folk name Chang Feng, treat with Chi Xiao Dou Dang Gui San. Stool before blood is distant blood, stomach, chronic onset, folk name Zang Du, treat with Huang Tu Tang.
Commentary: *Qian Jin Fang* states: Various lower bleeds, blood before stool is distant blood, use Huang Tu Tang; stool before blood is near blood, use Chi Xiao Dou San. The terms distant/near are swapped here. *San Jiao Xu Shi Men* has distant/near blood formulas matching this classic. *Qian Jin Yi Lun* and *Waitai* citing Cui Shi also err. *Zhang Shi Yi Tong* claims *Jin Gui* transcription error, which is wrong. *Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun*: Bloody stool bright red with abdominal pain, cold qi inside, stool color like adzuki bean juice, painful upon exit but not severe. Stool then blood comes from far; blood then stool comes from near. This verifies the point.
