（原文接续前文）病邪半在表半在里。脉象虽然沉紧，但不能诊断为少阴病。之所以这样判断，是因为少阴病通常不应有汗出，现在患者头面部出汗，所以知道这不是少阴病。可以给予小柴胡汤治疗。如果服药后症状仍未完全消除，通过通大便即可痊愈。郭雍说：如果是实证，用大柴胡汤；如果是虚证，用蜜煎导法通便。
又记载：伤寒病经过五六天，出现呕吐且发热的症状，这是小柴胡汤证的典型表现。但如果医生误用其他药物进行攻下治疗，而小柴胡证依然存在，应当再次给予小柴胡汤。这种情况虽然已经经过攻下，但不属于逆证，患者必然会出现蒸蒸然振栗、随后发热并出汗而病愈的反应。如果心下部胀满且坚硬疼痛，这是结胸证，应用大陷胸汤主治。如果只是胀满而不疼痛，这是痞证，不适合用小柴胡汤，适宜用半夏泻心汤。
又记载：太阳病与少阳病同时存在（并病），反而误用攻下法，导致形成结胸证，表现为心下部硬满，腹泻不止，连水浆都无法喝下，患者心中烦躁不安。常氏说：可以使用半夏生姜二泻心汤。
又记载：脉象浮而紧，却又误用攻下法，紧脉反而入里，从而形成痞证。按压时感觉柔软，这仅仅是气痞而已。常氏说：可以使用小陷胸汤或生姜泻心汤。郭雍说：适宜用半夏泻心汤或枳实理中丸。
又记载：太阳中风证，伴有腹泻和呕吐逆乱。只有当表证解除后，才可以攻逐里实。如果患者阵发性出汗，发作有时间规律，头痛，心下部痞塞硬满，胀满牵引胁肋部疼痛，干呕，呼吸短促，出汗且不恶寒，这是表证已解但里气未和的表现，应用十枣汤主治。郭雍说：十枣汤药力过于峻猛，后人不要轻易使用，应当用槟榔汤代替。
又记载：太阳病，医生误用发汗法，导致持续发热恶寒，接着又误用攻下法，造成心下部痞塞。此时表里之气都虚弱，阴阳之气都耗竭。没有阳气则阴气独盛。如果再加上烧针治疗，会导致胸部烦闷，面色青黄，皮肤干枯粗糙的，难以治愈。如果面色微黄，手足温暖，则容易痊愈。常氏说：可以使用生姜泻心汤、小柴胡汤或桂枝去芍药加龙骨牡蛎救逆汤。郭雍说：这是难治的证候，一句话不能概括所有情况，需临时详细辨别轻重缓急。痞证严重的先治痞，发热恶寒严重的先治柴胡证，火逆（烧针导致的变证）严重的先治救逆汤证。根据病情主要矛盾进行治疗。
又记载：心下部痞塞，按压时柔软，脉象关部浮的，应用大黄黄连泻心汤主治。
又记载：心下部痞塞，并且伴有恶寒、出汗的，应用附子泻心汤主治。
又记载：原本因为误用攻下法，导致心下部痞塞。给予泻心汤治疗后，痞塞未解，患者口渴且口燥心烦，小便不利的，应用五苓散主治。另一版本说：忍耐一天就会痊愈。
又记载：伤寒病汗出病解之后，胃中不和，心下部痞塞硬满，嗳气带有食物腐臭味，胁下有积水气，肠鸣音亢进伴腹泻的，应用生姜泻心汤主治。
又记载：伤寒或中风，医生反而误用攻下法。患者每天腹泻几十次，完谷不化，肠鸣音如雷，心下部痞塞硬满，干呕，心烦不得安宁。医生看到心下部痞塞，认为病邪未尽，再次误用攻下法，导致痞塞更加严重。这并不是热邪结聚，而是因为胃中虚弱，客气上逆，所以导致硬满。应用甘草泻心汤主治。
又记载：伤寒服用汤药后，腹泻不止，心下部痞塞硬满。服用泻心汤后，又用其他药物攻下，导致腹泻不止。医生用理中汤治疗，腹泻反而更严重。理中汤是调理中焦的，此处的腹泻位于下焦，应用赤石脂禹余粮汤主治。如果腹泻仍不止，应当通利小便。常氏说：可以用五苓散。
又记载：伤寒经过吐、下、汗法治疗后，出现虚烦，脉象非常微弱。到了第八九天，心下部痞塞硬满，胁下疼痛，气向上冲至咽喉，眩晕昏冒，经脉跳动惕动不安的，时间久了会发展成痿证。常氏说：可以用茯苓甘草白术生姜汤。若已成痿证，用振痿汤。郭雍说：应当作茯苓桂枝白术甘草汤。
又记载：伤寒发汗，或者用吐法，或者用下法，病解之后，心下部痞塞硬满，嗳气不止的，应用旋覆代赭汤主治。
又记载：攻下之后，不可再用桂枝汤。如果出现出汗且气喘，体内没有大热的，可以与麻黄杏仁甘草石膏汤。
又记载：太阳病，外证未除，却多次误用攻下法，遂导致协热下利，腹泻不止，心下部痞塞硬满，表里同病不解的，应用桂枝人参汤主治。
又记载：伤寒经过大力攻下后，又发汗，导致心下部痞塞，且伴有恶寒，说明表证未解。此时不可攻治痞证，应当先解表。表证解除后，才可攻治痞证。解表适宜用桂枝汤，攻痞适宜用大黄黄连泻心汤。
又记载：伤寒发热，出汗后病不解，心下部痞塞硬满，呕吐且腹泻的，应用大柴胡汤主治。
又记载：病症类似桂枝汤证，但头部不痛，项部不强直，寸脉微浮，胸中痞塞硬满，气向上冲至咽喉导致呼吸困难，这是胸中有寒饮所致，应当用涌吐法治疗，适宜用瓜蒂散。
又记载：患者胁下素有痞块，连接在脐旁，疼痛牵引少腹进入阴筋的，这名叫脏结，属死证。常氏说：可针刺大赫穴，位于腹部第二行。
又记载：伤寒病，经过吐或下法治疗后，七八天病邪未解，热邪结聚在里，表里俱热，时时恶风，极度口渴，舌面干燥且烦躁，想要喝水好几升的，应用白虎加人参汤主治。
又记载：伤寒病没有大热，口燥渴，心烦，背部微微恶寒的，应用白虎加人参汤主治。
又记载：伤寒脉浮，发热无汗，表证未解的，不可给予白虎汤。如果口渴想喝水，且没有表证的，应用白虎加人参汤主治。
又记载：太阳少阳并病，心下部硬满，颈项强直且眩晕的，应当针刺大椎、肺俞、肝俞穴。千万不要用攻下法。
又记载：太阳与少阳合病，出现自发性腹泻的，给予黄芩汤。如果伴有呕吐的，应用黄芩加半夏生姜汤主治。
又记载：伤寒，胸中有热，胃中有邪气，腹痛，想要呕吐的，应用黄连汤主治。
又记载：风湿相搏，骨节剧烈疼痛，牵掣痛无法屈伸，触碰则疼痛加剧，出汗，气短，小便不利，恶风不想脱衣，或者身体轻微浮肿的，应用甘草附子汤主治。
又记载：伤寒脉浮滑，这是表有热，里有寒，应用白虎汤主治。郭雍说：这一条是传写错误。校正者认为应是“热结在里，表里俱热”，这就是仲景所说的吐下后，想喝水几升的白虎加人参汤证，而不是这一条。另外仲景在其他条文说：伤寒脉浮，发热无汗，表证未解，不可与白虎汤。表证未解尚且不可服，何况是有里寒呢？详细考证此证，应当作“伤寒脉浮滑，此表里有热，白虎汤主之”。这也是符合仲景原意的，所以在仲景厥阴篇中，脉滑而四肢厥冷，也是因为有里热，也使用白虎汤。
又记载：脉象，按之来势缓慢，偶尔有一次停顿，然后又来的，名叫结脉。又脉来跳动中途停止，再次来时稍快，中间有较长的间歇才反动复跳的，也叫结脉，属阴脉。脉来跳动中途停止，不能自行恢复，因而再次跳动的，名叫代脉，也属阴脉。得到这种脉象的，必定难治。郭雍说：适宜用炙甘草汤。所谓难治，是指代脉这种阴脉。《金匮要略》说：脉结心悸，用炙甘草汤。仲景说：伤寒八九日，风湿相搏，身体疼痛烦扰，不能自行翻身转动，不呕不渴，脉浮虚而涩的，应用桂枝附子汤主治。如果其人大便硬，小便自利的，去掉桂枝，加白术汤主治。郭雍说：桂枝附子汤，不是桂枝加附子汤。朱氏称之为桂附汤。两者主治不同，但世人多误用，所以朱氏特意辨析其名。现在的桂枝加附子汤，是桂枝汤方的第六方；桂枝附子汤，是桂枝汤方的第十七方。所谓去桂加白术，是指从桂枝附子汤中去掉桂枝加入白术，而不是指在桂枝加附子汤中进行加减。应当仔细分辨。
又记载：病人想要呕吐的，不可用攻下法。常氏说：可用小半夏加橘皮汤。
又记载：太阳病，有外证未解，不可用攻下法，误下为逆证。常氏说：可用桂枝麻黄各半汤。郭雍说：根据可汗证中的原则，应使用桂枝二麻黄一汤。
又记载：病发于阳，反而误用攻下法，热邪内入因而形成结胸。病发于阴，反而误用攻下法（官本及《脉经》中“汗之”皆作“下之”），因而形成痞证。脉浮而紧，却又误用攻下法，紧脉反入里，从而形成痞证。常氏说：可用小陷胸汤、泻心汤。郭雍说：适宜用半夏泻心汤。
(Sentence-by-sentence translation follows)
The pathogen is half in the exterior and half in the interior. Although the pulse is deep and tight, it cannot be diagnosed as Shaoyin disease (Disease of the Lesser Yang). The reason for this is that Shaoyin disease should not present with sweating; since the patient now has sweat on the head, we know it is not Shaoyin disease. Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) may be administered. If the condition remains unsatisfactory after medication, relief will come with the passage of stool. Guo Yong stated: For excess patterns, Dachaihu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction) is used; for deficiency patterns, honey suppositories are used to guide the bowels.
It is also recorded: After five or six days of Shanghan (Cold Damage), if vomiting and fever occur, the indications for Chaihu Tang (Bupleurum Decoction) are complete. If a physician mistakenly uses purgatives, but the Chaihu syndrome persists, Chaihu Tang should be re-administered. Although purgation has been performed, this is not a counter-indication (ni); the patient will inevitably experience shivering with heat rising internally, followed by fever, sweating, and resolution of the disease. If there is fullness and hardness with pain in the epigastrium, this is Jie Xiong (Chest Binding), treated with Da Xianxiong Tang (Major Draining the Chest Decoction). If there is only fullness without pain, this is Pi (Glomus/Blockage), and Chaihu Tang is contraindicated; Banxia Xiexin Tang (Pinellia Heart-Draining Decoction) is appropriate.
It is also recorded: When Taiyang (Greater Yang) and Shaoyang (Lesser Yang) diseases coexist (Bing Bing), and purgatives are mistakenly used, Jie Xiong (Chest Binding) results, characterized by hardness in the epigastrium, incessant diarrhea, inability to take even fluids, and mental restlessness. Chang Shi suggested: Banxia Shengjiang Er Xiexin Tang (Pinellia and Fresh Ginger Double Heart-Draining Decoction) can be used.
It is also recorded: If the pulse is floating and tight, yet purgatives are mistakenly used, the tight pulse enters the interior, resulting in Pi (Glomus). Palpation reveals softness, indicating merely Qi Pi (Qi-type Glomus). Chang Shi suggested: Xiao Xianxiong Tang (Minor Draining the Chest Decoction) or Shengjiang Xiexin Tang (Fresh Ginger Heart-Draining Decoction). Guo Yong stated: Banxia Xiexin Tang (Pinellia Heart-Draining Decoction) or Zhishi Lizhong Wan (Immature Bitter Orange and Middle-Regulating Pill) are suitable.
It is also recorded: In Taiyang Wind Strike, accompanied by diarrhea and vomiting/reversal, one must wait until the exterior pattern is resolved before attacking the interior. If the patient has paroxysmal sweating, headache, epigastric glomus with hardness, fullness radiating to the hypochondrium causing pain, dry retching, shortness of breath, sweating without aversion to cold, this indicates the exterior is resolved but the interior is not harmonized. Shizao Tang (Ten Jujube Decoction) is indicated. Guo Yong stated: Shizao Tang is too harsh; later generations should not use it lightly. It should be replaced by Binglang Tang (Areca Seed Decoction).
It is also recorded: In Taiyang disease, if a physician mistakenly induces sweating, leading to persistent fever and aversion to cold, and then mistakenly uses purgatives, epigastric glomus results. Both exterior and interior qi are deficient, and both Yin and Yang qi are exhausted. Without Yang, Yin stands alone. If moxibustion (burning needle) is added, chest irritability ensues. If the complexion is greenish-yellow and the skin is rough/dry, it is difficult to treat. If the complexion is slightly yellow and the hands and feet are warm, recovery is easy. Chang Shi suggested: Shengjiang Xiexin Tang (Fresh Ginger Heart-Draining Decoction), Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction), or Guizhi Qushaoyao Jia Longgu Muli Jiuni Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction with Paeonia Removed plus Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell Rescue Counter-Indication Decoction). Guo Yong stated: This is a difficult syndrome that cannot be summarized in one sentence; severity must be assessed dynamically. If glomus is severe, treat the glomus first; if fever and aversion to cold are severe, treat the Chaihu pattern first; if fire counter-indication (from moxibustion) is severe, treat with Jiuni Tang first. Treat according to the primary pathology.
It is also recorded: Epigastric glomus, soft upon palpation, with a floating pulse at the Guan position, is treated with Dahuang Huanglian Xiexin Tang (Rhubarb and Coptis Heart-Draining Decoction).
It is also recorded: Epigastric glomus accompanied by aversion to cold and sweating is treated with Fuzi Xiexin Tang (Aconite Heart-Draining Decoction).
It is also recorded: Originally due to mistaken purgation causing epigastric glomus, if Xiexin Tang fails to resolve the glomus, and the patient presents with thirst, dry mouth, mental irritability, and dysuria, Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) is indicated. Another version states: Enduring it for one day leads to recovery.
It is also recorded: After Shanghan resolves via sweating, if the stomach is disharmonious, presenting with epigastric glomus and hardness, belching with food odor, water accumulation in the hypochondrium, borborygmus, and diarrhea, Shengjiang Xiexin Tang (Fresh Ginger Heart-Draining Decoction) is indicated.
It is also recorded: In Shanghan or Fengzhong, if a physician mistakenly uses purgatives, the patient suffers frequent diarrhea (dozens of times daily), undigested food, borborygmus, epigastric glomus with hardness and fullness, dry retching, and mental irritability preventing peace. Seeing the glomus, the physician assumes residual pathogen and purges again, worsening the glomus. This is not heat binding, but stomach deficiency with rebellious Qi, causing hardness. Gancao Xiexin Tang (Licorice Heart-Draining Decoction) is indicated.
It is also recorded: After taking herbal medicine for Shanghan, if diarrhea persists and epigastric glomus with hardness occurs, and subsequent use of Xiexin Tang followed by other purgatives fails to stop the diarrhea, which worsens with Lizhong Tang (Middle-Regulating Decoction), note that Lizhong Tang regulates the Middle Jiao, whereas this diarrhea is in the Lower Jiao. Chishizhi Yuyuli Tang (Red Stone Lipid and Hematite Decoction) is indicated. If diarrhea persists, diuresis should be promoted. Chang Shi suggested: Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria).
It is also recorded: After emesis, purgation, and sweating for Shanghan, if empty irritability and a very faint pulse occur, and by the eighth or ninth day, epigastric glomus with hardness, hypochondriac pain, Qi rushing to the throat, vertigo, and twitching of meridians occur, prolonged illness leads to Wei Syndrome (Flaccidity Syndrome). Chang Shi suggested: Fuling Gancao Baizhu Shengjiang Tang (Poria, Licorice, Atractylodes, and Fresh Ginger Decoction). For established Wei Syndrome, Zhenwei Tang (Shaking Flaccidity Decoction). Guo Yong stated: It should be Fuling Guizhi Baizhu Gancao Tang (Poria, Cinnamon Twig, Atractylodes, and Licorice Decoction).
It is also recorded: After sweating, emesis, or purgation in Shanghan, if the disease resolves but epigastric glomus with hardness and persistent belching remain, Xuanfu Daizhe Tang (Inula and Magnetite Decoction) is indicated.
It is also recorded: After purgation, Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) must not be used. If sweating and wheezing occur without significant internal heat, Mahuang Xingren Gancao Shigao Tang (Ephedra, Apricot Kernel, Licorice, and Gypsum Decoction) may be given.
It is also recorded: In Taiyang disease, if external symptoms persist and multiple purgations are mistakenly used, Xiere Li (Collateral Heat Diarrhea) results with incessant diarrhea, epigastric glomus with hardness, and unresolved exterior and interior. Guizhi Renshen Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Ginseng Decoction) is indicated.
It is also recorded: After heavy purgation and subsequent sweating in Shanghan, if epigastric glomus and aversion to cold occur, the exterior is not resolved. One must not attack the glomus; instead, resolve the exterior first. Once the exterior is resolved, the glomus can be attacked. Resolve the exterior with Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction); attack the glomus with Dahuang Huanglian Xiexin Tang (Rhubarb and Coptis Heart-Draining Decoction).
It is also recorded: In Shanghan, if fever persists despite sweating, with epigastric glomus with hardness, vomiting, and diarrhea, Dachaihu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction) is indicated.
It is also recorded: If symptoms resemble Guizhi Tang syndrome but without headache or neck stiffness, with a slightly floating Cun pulse, epigastric glomus with hardness, and Qi rushing to the throat causing breathing difficulty, this is Han (Cold/Phlegm) in the Chest. Emesis is indicated; Gouti San (Melon Sepal Powder) is appropriate.
It is also recorded: If a patient has a chronic Pi mass under the hypochondrium extending to the umbilicus, with pain radiating to the lower abdomen and genital tendons, this is named Zang Jie (Zang Binding), which is fatal. Chang Shi suggested: Acupuncture at Dahe (KI12), located in the second row of the abdomen.
It is also recorded: In Shanghan, after emesis or purgation, if unresolved after seven to eight days, with heat binding in the interior, simultaneous exterior and interior heat, occasional aversion to wind, extreme thirst, dry tongue with irritability, and desire to drink several liters of water, Baihu Jia Renshen Tang (White Tiger Plus Ginseng Decoction) is indicated.
It is also recorded: In Shanghan, without significant fever, but with dry mouth/thirst, irritability, and slight aversion to cold on the back, Baihu Jia Renshen Tang (White Tiger Plus Ginseng Decoction) is indicated.
It is also recorded: In Shanghan, if the pulse is floating, with fever and no sweating, and the exterior is not resolved, Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) is contraindicated. If there is thirst for water and no exterior pattern, Baihu Jia Renshen Tang (White Tiger Plus Ginseng Decoction) is indicated.
It is also recorded: In Taiyang-Shaoyang Bing Bing, with epigastric hardness, neck stiffness, and vertigo, acupuncture at Dazhui (GV14), Feishu (BL13), and Ganshu (BL18) is indicated. Purging must be strictly avoided.
It is also recorded: In Taiyang-Shaoyang He Bing (Combined Disease), if spontaneous diarrhea occurs, Huangqin Tang (Scutellaria Decoction) is given. If vomiting occurs, Huangqin Jia Banxia Shengjiang Tang (Scutellaria Plus Pinellia and Fresh Ginger Decoction) is indicated.
It is also recorded: In Shanghan, if there is heat in the chest and pathogenic Qi in the stomach, with abdominal pain and desire to vomit, Huanglian Tang (Coptis Decoction) is indicated.
It is also recorded: When Wind-Dampness combats, causing severe joint pain, pulling pain preventing flexion/extension, exacerbated by touch, sweating, shortness of breath, dysuria, aversion to wind with reluctance to remove clothing, or mild body swelling, Gancao Fuzi Tang (Licorice and Aconite Decoction) is indicated.
It is also recorded: In Shanghan, if the pulse is floating and slippery, indicating exterior heat and interior cold, Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) is indicated. Guo Yong stated: This is a transcription error. Correctors argue it should read "Heat binding in the interior, simultaneous exterior and interior heat," which corresponds to the Baihu Jia Renshen Tang syndrome described by Zhang Zhongjing after emesis/purgation with intense thirst. Furthermore, Zhang Zhongjing states elsewhere: In Shanghan with floating pulse, fever, no sweating, and unresolved exterior, Baihu Tang is contraindicated. If unresolved exterior precludes its use, how much more so for interior cold? Detailed analysis suggests the text should read: "Shanghan with floating and slippery pulse, indicating heat in both exterior and interior, treated with Baihu Tang." This aligns with Zhang Zhongjing's principle in the Jueyin chapter where slippery pulse with cold extremities indicates interior heat, also treated with Baihu Tang.
It is also recorded: In Shanghan, if the pulse is Jie Dai (Knotted and Intermitting) and the heart palpitates, Zhigancao Tang (Roasted Licorice Decoction) is indicated.
It is also recorded: A pulse that is slow upon palpation with occasional pauses before resuming is called Jie Mai (Knotted Pulse). A pulse that stops mid-beat and resumes with a slightly faster rhythm, with long intervals, is also called Jie Mai, a Yin pulse. A pulse that stops mid-beat and cannot resume spontaneously, requiring a rebound movement, is called Dai Mai (Intermitting Pulse), also a Yin pulse. Obtaining these pulses indicates a difficult-to-treat condition. Guo Yong stated: Zhigancao Tang (Roasted Licorice Decoction) is suitable. "Difficult to treat" refers to the Dai Yin pulse. *Jingui Yaolue* states: Knotted pulse with palpitations, treated with Zhigancao Tang. Zhang Zhongjing stated: In Shanghan after eight or nine days, with Wind-Dampness combat causing body pain and irritability, inability to turn over, no vomiting or thirst, and floating, deficient, and choppy pulse, Guizhi Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Aconite Decoction) is indicated. If the patient has hard stool and normal urination, remove Cinnamon Twig and add Atractylodes (Qu Gui Jia Baizhu Tang). Guo Yong stated: Guizhi Fuzi Tang is not Guizhi Jia Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Plus Aconite Decoction). Zhu Shi named the former Guifu Tang. Their indications differ, yet they are often confused. Zhu Shi clarified the names. Guizhi Jia Fuzi Tang is the sixth formula in the Guizhi Tang category; Guizhi Fuzi Tang is the seventeenth. "Remove Cinnamon, Add Atractylodes" refers to modifying Guizhi Fuzi Tang, not Guizhi Jia Fuzi Tang. Careful distinction is required.
It is also recorded: Patients desiring to vomit should not be purged. Chang Shi suggested: Xiaobanxia Jia Jupi Tang (Minor Pinellia Plus Tangerine Peel Decoction).
It is also recorded: In Taiyang disease, if external symptoms are unresolved, purging is contraindicated; doing so is a counter-indication. Chang Shi suggested: Guizhi Mahuang Ge Ban Tang (Half Guizhi Half Ephedra Decoction). Guo Yong stated: According to the principles for sweating-inducing patterns, Guizhi Er Mahuang Yi Tang (Two Parts Guizhi One Part Ephedra Decoction) should be used.
It is also recorded: Diseases originating from Yang, if mistakenly purged, lead to heat entering and forming Jie Xiong (Chest Binding). Diseases originating from Yin, if mistakenly purged (Gu Ben and *Mai Jing* read "sweated" as "purged"), lead to Pi (Glomus). If the pulse is floating and tight, yet purged, the tight pulse enters the interior, forming Pi. Chang Shi suggested: Xiao Xianxiong Tang (Minor Draining the Chest Decoction) or Xiexin Tang (Heart-Draining Decoction). Guo Yong stated: Banxia Xiexin Tang (Pinellia Heart-Draining Decoction) is suitable.
