又曰。二阳并病。太阳初得病时。发其汗。汗先出不彻。因转属
阳明。续自微汗出。不恶寒。若太阳病证不罢者。不可下。下之为逆。
如此可小发汗。设面色缘缘正赤者。阳气怫郁在表。当解之熏之。若
发汗不彻。不足言。阳气怫郁不得越。当汗不汗。其人躁烦。不知痛
处。乍在腹中。乍在四肢。按之不可得。其人短气。但坐。以汗出不彻。
故也。更发汗则愈。何以知汗不彻。以脉涩。故知之。庞氏云。宜麻黄汤。雍曰。庞氏在阳明。以古本差误。仍改本。
又曰。脉浮数者。法当汗出而愈。若下之。身重心悸者。不可发
汗。当自汗出乃解。所以然者。尺中脉微。此里虚。须表里实。津液自
和。便自汗出愈。常器之云。汗不出者。可与小柴胡汤。雍曰。若心下
悸而烦。宜小建中汤。表里俱虚。宜桂枝麻黄各半汤。设若用柴胡和
解。亦宜用柴胡桂枝和其营卫以通津液。此证是下后里虚。故仲景
待其气复。津液自和而汗出。不必更用药。此一证。非有证无治。其
不用药。便是治法也。常氏必欲和解之。疑其用药太重。故雍以柔剂
少杀其力。庶几得中。要之能少忍。待其自和。从仲景不用药法为上也。
又曰。脉浮紧者。法当身疼痛。宜以汗解之。（谓发汗也）假令尺
中迟者。不可发汗。何以知其然。以营气不足。血少故也。雍曰。此一
证与前证略相似。宜小建中汤。次则柴胡桂枝汤。又不若待其别见
证而治之。盖前证是下后证。当无别证出。故仲景不用药。此证是汗
前证。须别有证出。故不若少待之。既知血少。不可便用小柴胡汤也。
又曰。脉浮者。病在表。可发汗。宜麻黄汤。
又曰。脉浮而数者。可发汗。宜麻黄汤。
又曰。脉浮而紧。浮则为风。紧则为寒。风则伤卫。寒则伤营。营
卫俱病。骨节烦疼。可发其汗。宜麻黄汤。
又曰。病常自汗出者。此为营气和。营气和者外不谐。以卫气不
共营气和谐故耳。以营行脉中。卫行脉外。复发其汗。营卫和则愈。
宜桂枝汤。
问曰。营气既和。何为自汗出也。雍曰。平人营卫之气。常自和
也。设卫中于风。而营不中于寒。是卫有邪气。而营无邪气也。有邪
气者强。无邪气者弱。一强一弱。故营不得与卫气谐和而独和。则卫
气无所根据。以 悍无所根据之气。又以邪气济之。两气盈溢。溪谷不能
容。营深而卫浅。故卫气于皮肤间。不得内合于营。而外见隙穴。则
出为自汗也。用桂枝解其肌。则卫之邪气去。卫无邪气。则其气自
衰。自然还内与营和而汗止矣。
仲景曰。病患脏无他病。时发热自汗出而不愈者。此卫气不和
也。先其时发汗则愈。宜桂枝汤主之。
又曰。伤寒脉浮紧。不发汗。因致衄者。麻黄汤主之。
又曰。伤寒不大便六七日。头痛有热者。与承气汤。其小便清
者。知不在里。仍在表也。不可与之。当须发汗。若头痛者。必衄。宜
桂枝汤。常器之云。或疑其误也。设须发汗。当用麻黄汤。不然。用桂
枝麻黄各半汤。取其小小汗出而已。雍曰。仲景书。桂枝无治衄法。
麻黄有治衄法。故此一证。常氏疑其有误而改用麻黄也。设若头不
痛。则不衄。不衄则不可用麻黄。故宜桂枝麻黄各半汤。取小汗而
已。更宜以有汗无汗决之。仲景书安得无传写之误也。
又曰。伤寒发汗。解。半日许。复烦。其脉浮数者。可更发汗。宜
桂枝汤主之。雍曰。须言半日许者。以过此而复烦。即属劳复。不用
桂枝汤也。
又曰。凡病。若发汗。若吐。苦下。若亡血亡津液。阴阳自和者。
必自愈。雍曰。言凡者。不止谓伤寒也。若伤寒未和者。少待其和。或
须药。可柴胡桂枝汤少与之。不必用小柴胡也。
又曰。大下之后。复发汗。小便不利者。亡津液故也。勿治之。得

又说：两阳经并病。太阳病初起时，使用发汗法治疗，但汗出得不透彻，因此病邪转属阳明。随后出现持续微汗出、不恶寒的症状。如果太阳病的证候尚未解除，不可使用攻下法，误用攻下属于逆治。这种情况下，可以采用小发汗的方法。如果患者面色通红，这是阳气郁滞在体表所致，应当采用解表熏蒸的方法治疗。如果发汗不彻底，不足以导致阳气郁滞无法宣发，本应发汗而未发，患者会出现躁动烦乱，不知道疼痛的具体位置，有时在腹部，有时在四肢，按压又找不到痛点。患者感到短气，只能端坐，这是因为汗出不透彻的缘故。再次发汗就会痊愈。怎么知道是汗出不透彻呢？通过脉象涩就能知道。庞安常说，适宜用麻黄汤。郭雍认为，庞氏将其归入阳明病，是因为古本存在差误，仍应改正回原意。
又说：脉象浮数的，按规定应当通过发汗而痊愈。如果误用攻下法，出现身体沉重、心悸的症状，就不可再发汗，应当等待其自汗出才能解除。之所以这样，是因为尺中脉微，这表示里虚。必须等到表里之气充实，津液自然调和，便会自汗出而痊愈。常器之说，如果不出汗，可以给予小柴胡汤。郭雍认为，如果心下悸且烦，适宜用小建中汤。如果表里俱虚，适宜用桂枝麻黄各半汤。假如使用柴胡汤和解，也应当用柴胡桂枝汤来调和营卫以通利津液。这个证候是误下后导致里虚，所以张仲景等待其正气恢复，津液自然调和而汗出，不必再用药物。这一个证候，并非有证无治，不用药本身就是治疗方法。常氏一定要用和解法，我怀疑他用药太重，所以我用柔和的方剂稍微减弱其药力，以求适中。总之，如果能稍加忍耐，等待其自行调和，遵循张仲景不用药的方法为上策。
又说：脉象浮紧的，按规定应当身体疼痛，适宜用发汗法解除。（指发汗）假如尺中脉迟的，不可发汗。为什么知道是这样？因为营气不足，血少的缘故。郭雍认为，这个证候与前一个证候大致相似，适宜用小建中汤。其次可用柴胡桂枝汤。还不如等待其他证候出现后再治疗。因为前一个证候是误下后的证候，应当没有其他证候出现，所以张仲景不用药。这个证候是发汗前的证候，必须有其他证候出现，所以不如稍作等待。既然知道血少，就不可以立即用小柴胡汤。
又说：脉象浮而紧，浮则代表风邪，紧则代表寒邪。风邪伤卫气，寒邪伤营气。营卫都受病，骨节烦痛，可发其汗，适宜用麻黄汤。
又说：病人经常自汗出的，这是营气平和。营气平和却外不和，是因为卫气不与营气和谐的原因。营气行于脉中，卫气行于脉外。再次发汗，营卫调和就会痊愈，适宜用桂枝汤。
问：营气既然平和，为什么还会自汗出呢？郭雍说：正常人营卫之气，常常是和谐的。假如卫气被风邪所伤，而营气没有被寒邪所伤，这就是卫气有邪气，而营气无邪气。有邪气的强，无邪气的弱。一强一弱，所以营气不能与卫气和谐而独自平和，那么卫气就没有依托。凭借这种剽悍而没有依托的气，又加上邪气的助长，两气盈溢，溪谷（肌肉纹理间隙）不能容纳。营气深而在内，卫气浅而在外，所以卫气在皮肤之间，不能向内合于营气，而向外显露孔隙，就会流出成为自汗。用桂枝解除肌表的邪气，那么卫气的邪气就去除了。卫气没有邪气，那么它的亢盛之气自然衰退，自然会回归内部与营气和谐而汗止住。
张仲景说：病人脏腑没有其他疾病，时常发热、自汗出而不愈的，这是卫气不和。在发热出汗之前发汗就会痊愈，适宜用桂枝汤主治。
又说：伤寒不大便六七天，头痛且有发热的，给予承气汤。如果小便清长的，知道病不在里，仍在表，不可给予承气汤。应当需要发汗。如果头痛的，必定会鼻衄，适宜用桂枝汤。常器之说，有人怀疑这是错误的。假如需要发汗，应当用麻黄汤。不然，用桂枝麻黄各半汤，取其微微出汗而已。郭雍说，张仲景的书，桂枝汤没有治疗鼻衄的法度，麻黄汤有治疗鼻衄的法度。所以这个证候，常氏怀疑有误而改用麻黄汤。假如头不痛，就不会鼻衄。不鼻衄就不可用麻黄汤。所以适宜用桂枝麻黄各半汤，取小汗而已。更应当以有汗无汗来判断。张仲景的书哪里会有传写的错误呢？
又说：伤寒发汗，病解了，半天左右，又出现烦热，脉象浮数的，可以再发汗，适宜用桂枝汤主治。郭雍说，必须说“半天左右”，是因为过了这个时间如果再烦热，就属于劳复，不用桂枝汤了。
又说：凡是疾病，如果用发汗、催吐、苦泻等法，或者导致亡血、亡失津液的，阴阳能够自行调和的，必定自愈。郭雍说，说“凡是”，不仅指伤寒。如果伤寒未调和的，稍待其调和，或者需要药物，可以用柴胡桂枝汤少量给予，不必用小柴胡汤。
又说：大下之后，又发汗，小便不利的，是亡失津液的缘故。不要治疗它，得到小便通利的，必定自愈。郭雍说，不必再用药物通利小便，自己等待其通畅就会痊愈。
又说：下之后，又发汗，必定出现怕冷颤抖，脉象微细。之所以这样，是因为内外都虚的缘故。常氏说，素来没有热象的人，可以给芍药附子汤。有热象的人，可以给黄芪建中汤。
又说：下之后，又发汗，白天烦躁不得眠，夜间安静，不呕不渴，没有表证，脉象沉微，身体没有大热的，用干姜附子汤主治。
又说：发汗后，身体疼痛，脉象沉迟的，用桂枝加芍药生姜各一两人参三两新加汤主治。
又说：发汗后，不可再用桂枝汤。汗出而喘，没有大热的，可以用麻黄杏子甘草石膏汤主治。
又说：发汗后，其人脐下悸动的，想要发作奔豚，用茯苓桂枝甘草大枣汤主治。
又说：发汗过多，其人两手交叉按在心口上，心下悸，喜欢按压的，用桂枝甘草汤主治。
又说：发汗后，腹胀满的，用浓朴生姜半夏甘草人参汤主治。
又说：伤寒，如果用吐法或下法后，心下逆满，气上冲胸，起身时头晕目眩，脉象沉紧，如果发汗就会扰动经络，身体震颤摇晃的，用茯苓桂枝白术甘草汤主治。
又说：发汗，病不解，反而恶寒的，是虚的缘故，用芍药甘草附子汤主治。
又说：发汗后，恶寒的，是虚的缘故。不恶寒，只发热的，是实的。应当调和胃气，给予调胃承气汤。郭雍说，虚证的，用芍药甘草附子汤。
又说：太阳病，发汗后，大汗出，胃中干燥，烦躁不得眠，想要喝水的，少量多次地给他喝，令胃气调和就会痊愈。如果脉浮，小便不利，微热消渴的，用五苓散主治。
又说：伤寒汗出而渴的，用五苓散主治。不渴的，用茯苓甘草汤主治。
又说：中风发热，六七天不解除而烦，有表里证，口渴想喝水，水喝进去就吐的，名叫水逆，用五苓散主治。
又说：还没诊脉时，病人两手交叉按在心口上，医生于是教他试着咳嗽，他不咳嗽的，这一定是两耳耳聋听不见声音。之所以这样，是因为重发汗，虚的缘故如此。常器之说，素来没有热象的人，可以给芍药附子汤。素来有热象的人，可以给黄芪建中汤。
又说：发汗后，饮水多，必定气喘。用水冲洗身体，也会气喘。常说，可以给麻黄杏子甘草石膏汤。
又说：发汗后，水药进不去口的是逆证。如果再次发汗，必定呕吐腹泻不止。常说，可以给半夏茯苓汤。
又说：发汗吐下后，虚烦不得眠，如果严重的，必定反复颠倒，心中懊恼，用栀子豉汤主治。如果少气的，用栀子甘草豉汤主治。如果呕吐的，用栀子生姜豉汤主治。
又说：发汗，或者下法，而出现烦热，胸中窒塞的，用栀子豉汤主治。
又说：伤寒五六天，大下之后，身热不退，心中结痛的，病未解除，用栀子豉汤主治。
又说：凡是使用栀子汤，病人以前大便稀溏的，不可服用。
又说：太阳病发汗，汗出不解，那人仍然发热，心下悸，头晕，身体动摇，震颤想要倒地扑地的，用真武汤主治。
又说：疮家虽然身体疼痛，不可发汗。发汗就会导致痉挛抽搐。常氏说，可以给小柴胡汤。
又说：衄家不可发汗。发汗会导致额部动脉陷落，脉象急紧，直视，不能眨眼，不得眠。常氏说，可以给犀角地黄汤。
又说：亡血家不可发汗。发汗就会导致畏寒而战栗。常氏说，可以给芍药地黄汤。
又说：平素多汗的人，再重发汗，必定恍惚心乱，小便结束后，阴部疼痛，给予禹余粮丸。方子原本缺失。常氏说，禹余粮石一味药，火煅成散服用也可以。郭雍说，用禹余粮不用石，石乃是壳。
又说：病人患有寒证，又发汗，胃中寒冷，必定吐蛔虫。常氏说，可服用乌梅丸。郭雍说，适宜服用理中丸。
又说：本来应当发汗，却又用下法，这是逆治。如果先发汗，治疗就不为逆。本来应当先下法，却反先用汗法，这是逆治。如果先下法，治疗就不为逆。郭雍说，这是因为病应当先汗，却反而先下，所以为逆。如果已经发汗而又下，不为逆。或者病应当先下，却反而先汗，所以为逆。如果已经下而又汗，不为逆。如太阳证，应当汗，却反下；少阴证，应当下，却反汗，都是逆治。
It is also said: When two Yang meridians are involved simultaneously (Two-Yang concurrent disease), at the initial stage of the Taiyang disease, diaphoresis was applied, but the sweating was not thorough. Consequently, the pathogen transferred to the Yangming. Subsequently, there is continuous slight sweating and aversion to cold is absent. If the Taiyang syndrome has not yet resolved, purgation must not be used; using purgation in this case is a contraindicated error (Ni). In such situations, mild diaphoresis may be employed. If the patient's face is persistently red, it indicates that Yang Qi is constrained and stagnating at the exterior. It should be treated by resolving the exterior and using fumigation. If diaphoresis was not thorough, it is insufficient to cause Yang Qi to be constrained and unable to vent. If sweating should have been induced but was not, the person will become restless and irritable, unaware of the specific location of pain, which may shift between the abdomen and the four limbs, and cannot be located by palpation. The person experiences shortness of breath and can only sit upright, due to incomplete sweating. Re-inducing diaphoresis will lead to recovery. How do we know the sweating was incomplete? By observing a choppy pulse (Se Mai), we can ascertain this. Pang Anchang stated that Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) is appropriate. Guo Yong argued that Pang placed this in Yangming due to errors in ancient texts; it should be corrected to its original context.
It is also said: A floating and rapid pulse (Piao Shu Mai) indicates that recovery should occur through diaphoresis. If purgation is mistakenly used, resulting in heavy body sensation and palpitations (Xin Ji), further diaphoresis is contraindicated. Recovery will come when spontaneous sweating occurs. This is because a faint pulse at the Cun position of the Chi pulse (Chi Zhong Mai Wei) indicates interior deficiency. One must wait for the exterior and interior to become solid and for the Body Fluids (Jin Ye) to harmonize naturally, after which spontaneous sweating will occur and the disease will resolve. Chang Qizhi stated that if sweating does not occur, Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) may be given. Guo Yong opined that if there is epigastric palpitations accompanied by irritability, Xiaojianzhong Tang (Minor Construct the Middle Decoction) is suitable. If both exterior and interior are deficient, Guizhi Mahuang Ge Ban Tang (Guizhi and Mahuang Half-Dose Decoction) is suitable. If one were to use Chaihu Tang for harmonization, one should use Chaihu Guizhi Tang (Bupleurum and Cinnamon Twig Decoction) to harmonize Ying and Wei to unblock the Body Fluids. This syndrome results from interior deficiency following mistaken purgation. Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing waits for the Qi to recover and Body Fluids to harmonize spontaneously before sweating occurs, without using medication. This case is not "syndrome without treatment"; the absence of medication is itself the treatment. Chang insisted on harmonization, likely believing his prescription was too strong. Thus, I use a gentle formula to moderate the effect, aiming for balance. Ultimately, if one can endure slightly and wait for natural harmony, following Zhang Zhongjing’s method of no medication is superior.
It is also said: A floating and tight pulse (Piao Jin Mai) typically presents with body pain and should be treated with diaphoresis. However, if the Chi pulse is slow (Chi Zhong Chi), diaphoresis is contraindicated. Why? Because Ying Qi is insufficient and Blood is scant. Guo Yong noted this case is similar to the previous one; Xiaojianzhong Tang is suitable, followed by Chaihu Guizhi Tang. It is better to wait for other syndromes to appear before treating. The previous case was post-purgation, so no other syndromes would emerge, hence no medication. This case is pre-diaphoresis, so other syndromes must emerge; thus, waiting is better. Knowing Blood is scant, one must not immediately use Xiao Chaihu Tang.
It is also said: A floating pulse indicates the disease is at the exterior; diaphoresis is permissible, and Mahuang Tang is suitable.
It is also said: A floating and rapid pulse permits diaphoresis; Mahuang Tang is suitable.
It is also said: A floating and tight pulse: Floating indicates Wind, Tight indicates Cold. Wind injures Wei Qi, Cold injures Ying Qi. Both Ying and Wei are diseased, causing bone and joint discomfort. Diaphoresis is indicated; Mahuang Tang is suitable.
It is also said: Patients who frequently sweat spontaneously have harmonious Ying Qi. However, the exterior is disharmonious because Wei Qi does not harmonize with Ying Qi. Ying Qi moves within the vessels, while Wei Qi moves outside. Inducing diaphoresis again will harmonize Ying and Wei, leading to recovery; Guizhi Tang is suitable.
Question: If Ying Qi is harmonious, why is there spontaneous sweating? Guo Yong answered: In healthy individuals, Ying and Wei Qi are constantly harmonious. If Wei Qi is attacked by Wind but Ying Qi is not attacked by Cold, then Wei Qi has pathogenic factors while Ying Qi does not. The presence of pathogens makes it strong; the absence makes it weak. Due to this strength disparity, Ying Qi cannot harmonize with Wei Qi, leaving Wei Qi without support. Relying on this unrestrained, vigorous Qi, aided by pathogens, the excess overflows the muscle spaces (Xi Gu). Since Ying is deep and Wei is superficial, Wei Qi in the skin cannot merge internally with Ying and instead leaks out through pores, causing spontaneous sweating. Using Guizhi to resolve the muscle-level exterior allows the pathogenic factor in Wei Qi to depart. Without pathogens, the excessive Qi subsides, naturally returning internally to harmonize with Ying, stopping the sweating.
Zhang Zhongjing said: If a patient has no internal organ diseases but suffers from periodic fever and spontaneous sweating that does not resolve, this is disharmony of Wei Qi. Inducing diaphoresis prior to the onset of symptoms will lead to recovery; Guizhi Tang is the primary treatment.
It is also said: In Shanghan with a floating and tight pulse, if diaphoresis is not performed and nasal bleeding (Nu) ensues, Mahuang Tang is the primary treatment.
It is also said: In Shanghan, if there is constipation for six or seven days, headache, and fever, Chengqi Tang may be given. If urination is clear, the disease is not in the interior but remains in the exterior; Chengqi Tang should not be given. Diaphoresis is required. If there is headache, nasal bleeding will likely occur; Guizhi Tang is suitable. Chang Qizhi suggested this might be an error. If diaphoresis is needed, Mahuang Tang should be used. Otherwise, Guizhi Mahuang Ge Ban Tang can be used to induce slight sweating. Guo Yong stated that in Zhang Zhongjing’s texts, Guizhi Tang has no protocol for treating nasal bleeding, whereas Mahuang Tang does. Thus, Chang suspected an error and switched to Mahuang. However, if there is no headache, there will be no nasal bleeding; if no bleeding, Mahuang Tang is contraindicated. Therefore, Guizhi Mahuang Ge Ban Tang is suitable to induce slight sweating. One must decide based on the presence or absence of sweating. How could there be transcription errors in Zhang Zhongjing’s book?
It is also said: After Shanghan diaphoresis resolves, if restlessness returns after half a day and the pulse is floating and rapid, diaphoresis may be repeated; Guizhi Tang is the primary treatment. Guo Yong noted the phrase "half a day" is crucial; if restlessness returns after this period, it constitutes relapse due to exertion (Lao Fu), and Guizhi Tang is not used.
It is also said: For any disease, whether treated with diaphoresis, emesis, or severe purgation, or resulting in loss of Blood or Body Fluids, if Yin and Yang can self-harmonize, the disease will surely resolve spontaneously. Guo Yong clarified that "any disease" includes non-Shanghan conditions. If Shanghan has not harmonized, wait for harmony or use Chaihu Guizhi Tang in small doses; Xiao Chaihu Tang is not necessary.
It is also said: After severe purgation followed by diaphoresis, if urination is difficult, it is due to loss of Body Fluids. Do not treat it directly; once urination becomes normal, the condition will resolve spontaneously. Guo Yong added that one should not use drugs to promote urination; waiting for natural patency leads to recovery.
It is also said: Following purgation and subsequent diaphoresis, chills and a faint, thin pulse may occur. This is due to deficiency in both interior and exterior. Chang stated that for patients without heat signs, Shaoyao Fuzi Tang (Peony and Aconite Decoction) may be given. For those with heat signs, Huangqi Jianzhong Tang (Astragalus Construct the Middle Decoction) may be given.
It is also said: After purgation and diaphoresis, if the patient is irritable and cannot sleep during the day but is quiet at night, without vomiting, thirst, or exterior signs, and with a sinking, faint pulse and no significant fever, Ganjiang Fuzi Tang (Dried Ginger and Aconite Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: After diaphoresis, if body pain persists with a sinking, slow pulse, Guizhi Jia Shaoyao Shengjiang Ge Yi Ren Shen San Liang Xinjia Tang (Newly Added Decoction with Added Peony and Fresh Ginger and Three Taels of Ginseng to Guizhi Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: After diaphoresis, Guizhi Tang must not be used again. If there is sweating, wheezing, and no high fever, Mahuang Xingzhi Gancao Shigao Tang (Ephedra, Apricot Kernel, Licorice, and Gypsum Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: After diaphoresis, if palpitations occur below the umbilicus, indicating impending Ben Tun (Rushing Pig) syndrome, Fuling Guizhi Gancao Dazao Tang (Poria, Cinnamon Twig, Licorice, and Jujube Decoction) is the primary treatment.

For example, in Taiyang syndrome, diaphoresis is indicated; using purgation is an error. In Shaoyin syndrome, purgation is indicated; using diaphoresis is an error. Both are erroneous treatments.
