[Note: Chest fullness is one manifestation of blood stasis. It is inappropriate for these two characters to appear in the chapter title; deletion is advisable.]
[Note]: Palpitations and fright palpitations belong to heart diseases. Blood is governed by the Heart, which is why they are combined in this chapter.
The pulse at the Cun Kou (inch position) is both agitated and weak.
[ZHAO]: The Heart is the monarch official, from which Shen Ming (Spirit/Mind) emerges. If one does not overexert the body or weary the mind, Jing Qi (Essence and Qi) will be abundant, and Shen Ming will reside peacefully in its dwelling. If injured, Qi deficiency leads to an agitated pulse; agitation causes Xin Ji (heart palpitations) and spiritual fear. Essence deficiency leads to a weak pulse; weakness causes Zheng Chong (palpitations with anxiety) and fearful palpitations. Generally, Jing (fright/startle) arises from external stimuli touching the interior, belonging to Yang; Yang transformation leads to an agitated pulse. Ji (palpitations/fear) arises from internal terror, belonging to Yin; Yin consumption leads to a weak pulse. Therefore, this condition is suitable for mild agents that tonify Essence and Qi and anchor the Spirit. One should particularly maintain tranquility. [ZHU]: Being affected by external things constitutes Jing; Shen (Spirit) deficiency causing timidity constitutes Ji. Separately discussed, there seems to be a distinction between movement/stillness and excess/deficiency. However, those who experience Jing invariably experience Ji, and those with Ji are prone to Jing. Their origin and flow are naturally consistent. Zhang Zhongjing exclusively examines the Cun Kou pulse, using the three characters "agitated" and "weak" to depict the pulse image of Jing and Ji, while still distinguishing them: How do we know it is Jing? Because the pulse trembles violently. How do we know it is Ji? Because within the pulse's agitation, there is inherent softness and weakness. Thus, the pulse being both agitated and weak must coexist, and the symptoms of Jing and Ji arise interdependently. This is the natural principle.
The Master said: The Chi (cubit) pulse is floating, the eyes have yellow halos around them, indicating that epistaxis has not stopped.
[JIAN]: A floating pulse indicates Yang and exterior conditions. If the eyes are clear, it indicates a Yang-exterior disease. If the eyes have yellow halos, it indicates blood vessel disease. Since all meridians connect to the eyes, heat in the blood causes redness, and blood stasis causes yellowness. Now, seeing yellow halos on the eyes, we know epistaxis has not stopped. If the yellow halos disappear and the eyes become bright and clear, we know epistaxis has stopped.
[Note]: The Chi pulse is used to inspect the Blood level. JIAN's view is approximately correct. When the yellow halos disappear and the eyes become clear, if the pulse becomes calm, this can be inferred. In the commentary on *Zhou Li*, Zheng Sinong stated: "Yun" refers to the aura of sunlight. (This is the character "Yun".) *Shi Ming* states: Yun means rolling up; it is formed when Qi rolls and knots on the outside. This applies to both the sun and moon.
The patient's face lacks color, without aversion to cold or fever.
[Note]: Lack of facial color without aversion to cold or fever refers to epistaxis, lower bleeding, or hematemesis. XU stated: In the "Vomiting Cough" section, no pulse is mentioned, but the characters "floating and weak" run through it. Additionally, *Jin Jian* states: The original text's "deep pulse" should be "floating pulse," and "floating pulse" should be "deep pulse" for the meaning to make sense; this must be a copying error. *Jin Jian*'s explanation is inappropriate. A floating pulse is a sign of rebellious blood, whereas a deep and wiry pulse is a sign of blood deficiency.
Regarding hematemesis and coughing with qi rebelling upward:
[Note]: *Sheng Hui Fang* in the Gout section states: For upper qi rebellion with a rapid pulse and inability to lie flat, death ensues. Generally, if the disease is deficient, or excess mixed with deficiency presents with these pulse and symptom patterns, it is incurable. Patients who consume alcohol and cough will inevitably suffer hematemesis. (*Yi Xin Fang* cites *Yi Men Fang*, changing "ye" to "nan liao" [difficult to treat].) The patient experiences chest fullness, withered lips, and a bluish tongue.
[ZHAO]: This is a blood stasis syndrome. What pathogen caused it? *Nei Jing* mentions that falling or fear causes evil blood to remain internally, leading to abdominal fullness and inability to pass stool or urine. It also states that great anger causes blood to stagnate in the upper body. From this, we know that various internal and external pathogens that accumulate and fail to circulate result in blood stasis. Stasis accumulates in the tunnels of the Yin meridians, unlike Qi accumulation in the Huang Mo (membranes) of the Yang. However, the Yang path is manifest, while the Yin path is hidden. Qi accumulating in the Huang Mo manifests as external distension; blood stasis in the tunnels merely causes obstruction. Thus, although the abdomen is not actually distended, the patient feels full due to obstruction. Hence, we know this is caused by blood stasis.
[Note]: *Mai Jing* states, "Failure to sweat when sweating is indicated constitutes blood stasis." This also appears in the treatment scope of Shaoyao Dihuang Tang in *Waitai Mi Yao*. Furthermore, in *Bing Yuan Fang Lue* under Cold Damage syndromes, after the formula for Shaoyao Dihuang Tang, it states: If the patient exhibits forgetfulness and mania-like behavior, add 3 liang of Dihuang and 3 liang of Huangqin. If the patient's pulse is large but slow, and the abdomen is not distended yet the patient claims it is, this indicates absence of heat; simply follow the base formula without Huangqin. (Recorded according to the Song edition; *Qianjin Fang* changes "add Dahuang" to "add Dihuang," which is correct. The final sentence reads "simply follow the base formula without additions," omitting "without Huangqin.") Based on this, this syndrome is treated by Shaoyao Dihuang Tang.
Furthermore, "Wei" in "Chun Wei" originally refers to "Wu," meaning loss of color. *Jin Jian*'s interpretation of "Wei Cui" is erroneous.
The patient appears to have heat sensations, irritability, and abdominal fullness.
[Note]: The presence of thirst is suspected to be a corruption of "no thirst." In various blood-heat sections, there are cases of desiring only to rinse the mouth with water, where thirst is not claimed. Verifying the condition, the patient definitely does not wish to swallow. Moreover, "no thirst" and "thirst" are often confused in texts. (See *Shui Qi Pian* for verification.) XU stated: In blood stasis syndromes, mild cases involve only rinsing the mouth with water, while severe cases may involve thirst due to long-standing stasis transforming into heat and郁结 (stagnation). This is likely mere literal interpretation.
For palpitations below the heart, Banxia Mahuang Wan is indicated. (*Ben Cao* and *Tu Jing* cite Zhang Zhongjing's *Shanghan Lun* similarly.)
[Note]: Zhao discussed three types of palpitations; the text is too lengthy to record here.
For unceasing hematemesis: (Zhao's version reads "zu" [foot] instead of "zhi" [stop].)
[ZHAO]: Water sinks beneath when encountering cold and surges above when encountering wind. Human blood is no different from water. When harmonized by cold, it resides in the meridians, nourishing the five Zang internally; when pierced by biting cold, it coagulates and fails to flow, accumulating without dispersing; when warmed by gentle heat, it circulates in the meridians, filling the nine orifices externally; when subjected to intense heat, wind follows fire's madness, causing turbulent waves. Thus, hematemesis is caused by wind and fire.
Cebai Ye Decoction Formula (*Ben Cao* and *Tu Jing* state: Zhang Zhongjing's formula for unceasing hematemesis uses Cebai Ye Decoction. Take one handful of fresh Cebai Ye, three slices of Ganjiang, and two ting of Ejiao, roasted. Boil these three ingredients in two sheng of water to reduce to one sheng. Strain the dregs. Mix in one sheng of Matong juice (horse dung juice). Combine and boil to obtain one sheng. Filter through silk and take in one dose.)
[Note]: *Ben Cao* (black text) records: Cebai Ye and Ai Ye are both bitter, slightly warm, non-toxic. White text records: Ganjiang stops bleeding. (Cheng's cited *Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing* and properties of Matong are in the black text.) Tao Hongjing's *Preface to Materia Medica* states: "One handful" weighs exactly two liang. (Note: *Yi Xin Fang* differs slightly; see reference. Also cites Fan Wang's formula: One piece of Ejiao, shaped like three fingers, three cun long, counts as one unit.)
ZHU stated: *Qianjin Fang* uses three liang of Ejiao, which is also good. However, genuine Ejiao is rare nowadays, adding unnecessary stickiness.
For lower bleeding where stool precedes blood, this is distant blood (Yuan Xue).
[Note]: XU stated: Lower bleeding is smoother and less rebellious than hematemesis; this pathology lies not in Qi but should be sought in the abdomen. Thus, stool preceding blood indicates that before defecation, the blood level was undisturbed, and only after straining during defecation did bleeding occur. This indicates interior cold failing to warm the Spleen, and insufficient Spleen Yuan failing to control blood. The Spleen resides in the Central Earth; viewed from the Lower Jiao, it is distant, hence "distant blood." This explanation is plausible and is retained.
For lower bleeding where blood precedes stool, this is proximal blood (Jin Xue).
[ZHAO]: This bleeding originates from the Large Intestine, hence blood precedes stool. It results from damp-heat toxins accumulating without entering the meridians, seeping into the intestines and exiting. Chi Xiao Dou can move water-dampness and resolve heat toxins. *Mei Shi Fang* uses this single herb to treat lower bleeding. Moreover, Dang Gui breaks old blood and nourishes new blood; based on its name, blood finds its return and ceases erratic flow.
*Fu Ren Liang Fang* states: Bleeding after stool indicates a distant source; bleeding before stool indicates a proximate source. "Distant" and "proximate" refer to the location of the disease in the upper or lower parts.
*Zhang Shi Yi Tong* states: *Qianjin Fang* uses Fulonggan Tang, which is the Huangtu Tang for treating stool-preceding-blood, modified by removing Baizhu and Fuzi, adding Ganjiang, Niuxi, Diyuyu, and Fahui. Compared to *Jin Gui*'s indications, there are differences in cold and heat; this must be distinguished. Thus, treating bleeding requires only guiding blood back to the vessels, regardless of distance. *Waike Zhengzong* case study on internal hemorrhoids states: Generally, the causes of this syndrome vary, so etiology must be investigated. If Yuan Qi is sufficient, the body is robust and dark, with purple blood after stool, and the pulse is solid and forceful, this belongs to Excess; the method should be cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and medication will be effective. Conversely, if the body is emaciated, complexion sallow, with fresh blood before stool, and the pulse is empty and weak, this belongs to Deficiency. How can cooling medicines be used to stop bleeding, thereby damaging the Spleen and Stomach? This syndrome requires warming the middle and strengthening the Spleen, raising Middle Qi; otherwise, blood cannot return to its origin, making medication ineffective, as it deviates from the root. (Note: This view seems contrary to classic principles but offers mutual inspiration; it is extracted for reference.)
*Jifeng Puji Fang* Chixiaodou San treats constipation. (This is the same formula.)
Heart Qi insufficiency, with hematemesis and epistaxis.
[Note]: Zhao stated: Heart Qi insufficiency does not mean Heart Fire is insufficient, but rather True Yang is insufficient. This view belongs to... You privately refuted and corrected this, actually deriving it from *Yi Tong*. Zhao further stated: If *Jizhong Fang* uses Dahuang to treat epistaxis, along with Shengdi juice, it treats heat by cooling blood, similar to Xiexin Tang formulas. This is what You derived from.
