Treats cases where burning needle therapy was used to induce sweating. Cold has invaded the puncture site, causing nodules to rise and turn red. The patient will inevitably develop *Ben Tun* (Rushing Pig, a condition characterized by gas rushing upward from the lower abdomen). Qi rushes from the lower abdomen up to the heart. Moxibustion should be applied to the nodules, and this formula should be administered as the primary treatment.
Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) [Note: Specifically Guizhi Jia Gui Tang] - Cinnamon Twig (Wu Liang / 5 liang), Shaoyao (White Peony Root) (San Liang / 3 liang), Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) (San Liang / 3 liang), Gancao (Licorice Root) (Liang / 2 liang), Dazao (Jujube) (Shi Er Mei / 12 pieces).
Take the above five ingredients. Add seven sheng of water, boil until three sheng remain, remove the dregs. Take one sheng warm. According to the original text of *Shanghan Lun*, this refers to Guizhi Jia Gui Tang (Cinnamon Twig Plus Cinnamon Twig Decoction), which adds an additional two liang of Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) to the base formula.
Song says: Qi reversing from the navel is called Ben Tun; sweating induced by burning needles opens the source of disease. Only take the original flavors of Guizhi Tang; add two liang more of Guizhi for discussion.
Chen Wei's commentary: In Shaoyin (Lesser Yin), fire is above and water is below. When Taiyang (Greater Yang) disease is treated with burning needles to induce sweat, excessive sweating damages the Heart. Fire becomes deficient, allowing Water to overpower it, thus triggering Ben Tun.
Treats cases where fire-induced reversal occurred due to inappropriate purging after fire therapy, followed by restlessness caused by burning needles. This decoction is the primary treatment.
Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) (Yi Liang / 1 liang), Gancao (Licorice Root) (Er Liang / 2 liang), Longgu (Dragon Bone) (Er Liang / 2 liang), Muli (Oyster Shell) (Er Liang / 2 liang).
Take the above four ingredients. Add five sheng of water, boil until two and a half sheng remain, remove the dregs. Take eight ge warm, three times a day.
Song says: Two parts Gancao and one part Guizhi are not identical; Longgu and Muli are equally distributed at two liang each. Fire reversal and purging cause restlessness; communicating the upper and lower through the center resolves it.
Chen Wei's commentary: Many Taiyang diseases result in fire-induced reversal due to burning needles. Nowadays, people do not use burning needles but still present with fire-reversal symptoms. This is because pungent-warm herbs like Pao Jiang (Baked Ginger), Guizhi, and Fuzi interact with Yin pathogenic factors causing vexation; when Yin sinks below and cannot encounter Yang, it causes agitation. Therefore, aquatic substances like Longgu and Muli are used to suppress hyperactive Yang and guide it down to communicate with Yin. Guizhi, being pungent and warm, is used to stimulate Yin Qi to ascend and communicate with Yang. The most ingenious aspect is the generous use of Gancao to support the Middle Jiao (Middle Burner), enabling the communication of Upper and Lower Yin-Yang Qi in the Earth element, thereby calming restlessness naturally.
Treats Taiyang disease where heat resides in the Lower Jiao (Lower Burner), presenting with hardness and fullness in the lower abdomen. Recovery occurs only after bloody stool is passed. This happens because Taiyang exterior pathogens follow the meridians inward, resulting in stasis-heat accumulating internally. This formula is the primary treatment.
Mengchong (Blister Beetle) (Thirty pieces, remove feet and wings, stir-fry), Shuizhi (Leech) (Thirty pieces, stir-fry), Dahuang (Rhubarb Root) (Three liang, washed with wine), Taoren (Peach Kernel) (Thirty pieces, remove skin and tips).
Take the above four ingredients. Crush to the size of hemp seeds. Add five sheng of water, boil until three sheng remain, remove the dregs. Take one sheng warm. If no effect, administer again.
Song says: Dahuang in Didang Tang is three liang; "Li" here refers to the Ren and Chong vessels, not the Bladder. Mengchong, Shuizhi, and Taoren are each thirty pieces; attacking blood stasis calms mania.
Zhanglingshao states: Taiyang disease distinguishes between Meridians and Qi aspects, as well as Exterior and Surface distinctions. In Tao Ren Cheng Qi Tang syndrome, heat binds in the Bladder; this is exterior pathogens from the muscle layer entering from the surface. However, pathogens from the skin surface descend from the chest and bind in the lower abdomen. Since exterior Qi connects to the chest, it is said that while exterior signs remain, there is no Chest Binding. Skin and hair constitute the exterior. Generally, Taiyang Qi enters and exits via the Taiyang Meridian, running along the back spine downward to connect with the Bladder. If it is a Meridian disease, exterior pathogens enter from the back and bind in the Bladder, as detailed in the notes for Tao Ren Cheng Qi Tang. However, if it is a Qi disease, exterior pathogens enter from the chest without involving the Bladder; thus, it is not described as heat binding in the Bladder, but rather as "contrary absence of Chest Binding." Heat in the Lower Jiao also resides in the lower abdomen. Hence, the previous chapter mentions "lower abdominal urgency and knotting," while this chapter mentions "lower abdominal hardness and fullness." "Urgency and knotting" indicates a desire for downward unblocking; attack is unnecessary, so spontaneous passage of blood leads to recovery, requiring only Tao Ren Cheng Qi Tang. Here, "hardness and fullness" shows no tendency for downward unblocking; thus, it is not said that "blood passes spontaneously," but "recovery follows bloody evacuation," implying that attack is required for expulsion. Only Didang Tang suffices. The distinction between these two conditions is thus. Furthermore: In Taiyang disease on the sixth or seventh day, coinciding with the period when Taiyang governs Qi, if exterior signs remain, the pulse should be Floating. Now, if it is Fine and Deep, it indicates Qi sinking along the meridians and pressing inward. If pressing inward at the chest, Chest Binding should occur; since it does not, we know exterior pathogens have descended from the chest into the Yin compartments. Yin failing to overcome Yang causes mania. Heat in the Lower Jiao causes lower abdominal hardness and fullness. Hardness and fullness with normal urination indicate the pathology lies in tangible Blood aspects rather than intangible Qi aspects. The formula uses Mengchong and Shuizhi, one flying and one diving, both creatures that suck blood. Heat from above enters following the meridians... [Text appears truncated].
