(As Xu Lingtai and Zhao Tong suggest, it should be read as "Mai Zheng Bing Zhi" [Pulse, Signs, and Treatment], which should be followed.)
One Treatise, Three Prognostic Patterns (Note: Actually two patterns), Twelve Formulas.
The Treatise states: Baihe Bing (Lily Disease) occurs because the hundred vessels share a single origin, and all are affected by pathogenic factors, leading to disease. (Zhou Xuehai suggests that "Mo Ran" should be read as "Mo Mo Ran" [Silently].)
[Zhao] says that "hundred vessels" refers to their numerous quantity, similar to saying "hundred bones." [Cheng] states that there are twelve meridians and three hundred sixty-five collaterals. This is because after a severe illness, the True Yang is already deficient, and residual heat has not yet cleared. The hundred vessels throughout the body are diseased; this is what is meant by "the hundred vessels share a single origin, and all are affected by disease."
According to Chao Yuanfang's *Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* and Sun Simiao's *Qian Jin Yao Fang*: "Baihe Bing means there are no distinct meridians and collaterals; the hundred vessels share a single origin, and all are affected by disease." Here, "no distinct meridians and collaterals" means there is no differentiation between Jing (Meridians) and Luo (Collaterals). "Zong" (Ancestor/Origin) is like the "Zong" in "same surname clan." "Yi Zong" (Single Origin) is like saying "all together." Commentators who interpret it as "Chao Zong" (Court Audience) or "Zong Zun" (Reverence) miss the true meaning.
Furthermore, regarding this disease, Zhao believes it is caused by heat accumulating and not dispersing, generating toxicity that damages the blood. This is almost identical to the explanation of "Xie Jie" (a condition characterized by muscle laxity due to exhaustion or external pathogens) in the *Nei Jing*. It also resembles "Lao Zhai" (Consumption/Tuberculosis) in shape and symptoms; this theory is lengthy. Examining Guo Yong's *Shang Han Bu Wang Lun*, he states: This syndrome is also similar to what is described in the *Su Wen* as "Xie Jie." Wang Haogu's *Yi Lei Yuan Rong* quotes Wang Bing's commentary on the *Ping Ren Qi Xiang Lun*'s "Xie Jie": "Only the Baihe syndrome closely resembles this." All these theories are based on Zhao's view. In short, Zhao's theory is too absurd. Additionally, in *Wu Yi Hui Jiang*, Tao Zongxuan's *Additional Remarks on Baihe Bing* claims it is a syndrome of scattered heart spirit, which is also incorrect.
After Sweating in Baihe Bing:
Guo analyzes the characters "Geng Fa" (Further Emission/Recurrence) in *Qian Jin* saying: His intention was that Baihe Bing recurs after sweating, purging, or vomiting therapies, rather than transforming into Baihe Bing after such therapies for Shanghan (Cold Damage). This seems more like treating damage from Lao Fu (Relapse due to overexertion) within Baihe Bing, without seeing the correct herbs for sweating, purging, or vomiting treatments for Baihe Bing itself, which is not very consistent with logic. It is likely that during centuries of copying and correction, errors were added. They are not Sun Simiao's original text. Therefore, *Huo Ren Shu* uses only the *Jin Gui* text, excluding the added "Geng Fa" from *Qian Jin*. Pang Anzhi directly revised the wording to: "Treat Baihe Bing after sweating, treat Baihe Bing after purging, treat Baihe Bing after vomiting," which removes doubt.
Baihe Zhi Mu Tang (Lily and Anemarrhena Decoction) (Note: In this formula and the following three, the preparation method uses "Jian" [Decoct], likely changed by later editors. *Wai Tai Mi Yao* uses "Zhu" [Boil], which should be followed.)
My elder brother said: Song Dynasty's Wu Zeng's *Neng Gai Zhai Man Lu* records: Wang Yuanshu, Neihan, stated: Medicine treats diseases, sometimes selecting ingredients based on semantic analogy. For example, using Baihe (Lily) to treat disease seems to take its name literally. Using Yan Zhi Hong Hua (Safflower/Dyer's Coreopsis) for hematemesis seems to take its color. Using Deng Xin Cao (Juncus Effusus) and Mu Tong (Akebia) for strangury and stagnation seems to take its category. Semantic analogies allow for transformation and resonance; one must understand this principle. This view is somewhat close to Wei Zhixiu's idea. Furthermore, Zhu Zhenheng's *Ge Zhi Yu Lun* states: In Materia Medica, herbs named after their efficacy include Baihe, Dang Gui, Sheng Ma, Fang Feng, Hua Shi, etc. This view is correct.
In *Wu Yi Hui Jiang*, Wang Shenglin said: Ancient formulas only used Baihe Tang, with seven bulbs of Baihe and three sheng of water. Recently, a friend told me that in front of Chengzhao Temple in Yangshan, Suzhou, natural Baihe grows on a patch of land, only the size of a coin. When boiled, it has an excellent fragrance and curative effect. Thus, it can be known that smaller Baihe is preferred for medicinal use.
According to the new supplement for Spring Water in *Ben Cao Gang Mu*: Long-term consumption removes warmth, harmonizes the middle jiao, directs heat downward, and promotes urination. This shows it has the function of draining Yang.
Baihe Bing, Not Treated with Vomiting, Purging, or Sweating:
My elder brother said: "Chu" (Initial) refers to the condition persisting without change from the beginning. Zhao Tong's interpretation is likely incorrect.
Gualou Muli San (Trichosanthes Root and Oyster Shell Powder) (Muli [Oyster Shell], Ao [Calcined/Roasted]. In Zhou Xuehai's edition, "Ao" is written as "Duan" [Calcined].)
Hu Huo disease presents with symptoms resembling Shanghan (Cold Damage). (Ji Yi edition omitted the character "Mu" in "Mian Mu" [Face and Eyes], which should be supplemented. *Mai Jing* reads "Zhuang" as "Qi" [Vital Energy], and adds five characters "You Hu Huo Bing" [There is a disease called Hu Huo] after "Hu".)
According to my analysis: Xia Gan (Chancre below) mostly occurs at the anterior yin, while Ya Gan (Gum Chancre) does not necessarily involve the throat; Zhao Tong's statement is inappropriate.
Erosion in the lower part causes dryness of the throat. (*Mai Jing* reads: Erosion in the lower part, wash with Kushen Tang [Sophora Root Decoction].)
Erosion in the anus. (Xun [Fumigate], various editions write "Xun" [Smoke/Fumigate], which should be followed. Huang Bo [Phellodendron Bark] section, Zhou Xuehai's edition has the character "San" [Powder].)
According to: Zhu Ling San (Polyporus Powder), *Tu Jing Ben Cao* cites Zhang Zhongjing. (Original *Ben Cao* text has "Zhu" [Atractylodes] after "Fuling" [Poria], and "Yu" [With] before "Shui" [Water]; Ji Yi edition missed these due to printing errors, they should be supplemented.)
The patient has a rapid pulse, no fever, and slight irritability.
My elder brother said: *Zong Bing Lun* classifies this as Hu Huo syndrome. Student Inaba Genki stated: *Mai Jing* and *Qian Jin Yao Fang* also include it in the Hu Huo section.
According to Mr. Zhu: Analyzing this syndrome, if pus has not formed, the patient certainly cannot eat, and one must use methods to clear heat and expel toxicity. This applies to all principles of treating sores and ulcers. The word "Wu Re" (No Fever) is suspected to be an error and should likely be "Fa Re" (Fever). This view seems plausible. However, according to the *Sore and Ulcer Chapter*, keeping the word "Wu" makes the meaning coherent as well.
Chi Xiao Dou Dang Gui San (Adzuki Bean and Angelica Sinensis Powder) (Zhou Xuehai's edition: Dang Gui ten liang.)
Note: Jiang Shui (Fermented Rice Water) is detailed in the *Shang Han Lun Shu Yi* chapter on Recovery and Relapse due to Overexertion; it will not be repeated here.
Yang Du (Yang Toxin) Disease: (*Mai Jing* reads: Yang Du disease, heavy body, back and waist pain, restlessness and discomfort, delirious speech, seeing ghosts, hematemesis and dysentery, floating-large-rapid pulse, red face with mottled spots like brocade patterns, sore throat and tonsils, spitting pus and blood. Treatable within five days, untreatable after seven days. Some cases of Shanghan become Yang Du in one or two days, or transform into Yang Du after emetic or purgative medications. Shengma Tang [Cinnamon Twig and Azalea Root Decoction] governs it.)
Yin Du (Yin Toxin) Disease: (*Mai Jing* reads: Yin Du disease, heavy body, stiff back, colicky abdominal pain, difficult swallowing, toxic qi attacking the heart, hardness under the heart, shortness of breath, retching, blue lips and black face, cold limbs, deep-thin-tight-rapid pulse, body feels like being beaten. Treatable within five to six days, untreatable after seven days. Some cases of initial Shanghan in one or two days form Yin Du, or transform into Yin Du after taking medication for six to ten days. Gancao Tang [Licorice Decoction] governs it.)
Shengma Biejia Tang (Azalea Root and Softshell Turtle Shell Decoction) (Current editions of *Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang* and *Qian Jin Yao Fang* treat Yin Du with Shu Jiao [Sichuan Pepper], matching the original note. Zhou Xuehai's edition: Dang Gui two liang, take another dose to induce sweating. The character "Qu" [Obtain/Induce] was accidentally omitted in Ji Yi edition, should be supplemented.)
Guo said: Shengma and Gancao two decotions, judging by their ingredients, have mild properties. However, why various schools insist on using them first is because ancient people treated Yin and Yang Du only with these two decotions. Thus, they must be used to remove the toxic momentum before assisting with other medicines.
[Additional Remarks] The three diseases of Baihe, Hu Huo, and Yin-Yang Du, according to *Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* and *Qian Jin Yao Fang*, are mostly transformations after Shanghan. This is why they are combined in one chapter. However, commentators either claim Baihe and Hu Huo correspond to specific diseases in later generations, but these theories are forced and fail to identify the actual syndrome. Regarding Yang Du and Yin Du, examining Tang and Song books, they seem to resemble San Yang He Bing (Combined Syndrome of the Three Yang Meridians) or direct invasion of Shao Yin. Yet, Zhang Zhongjing did not list them in *Shang Han Lun*, indicating they are a different type of syndrome, though it remains unclear if they correspond to modern diseases. Then, are these three diseases unique to antiquity and non-existent today? Smallpox originated in the Eastern Han, and Hong Jiao (Beriberi) flourished in Jin and Tang dynasties. Customs change, which is natural. Why doubt the differences between ancient and modern times?
