移精治验 卫德新之妻,旅中宿于楼上,夜值盗劫人烧舍,惊堕床下,自后每闻有响,则惊倒不知人。
家人辈蹑足而行,莫敢冒触有声。岁余不痊,诸医作心病治之,人参真珠及定志丸皆无效。戴人见而断之曰∶
惊者为阳,从外入也;恐者为阴,从内出。惊者为自不知故也,恐者自知也。(按∶《准绳》举此言曰∶盖惊
者闻响即惊。恐者自知,如人将捕之状,及不能独自坐卧,必须人为伴侣,方不恐惧,或夜必用灯照,无灯烛
亦恐惧者是也。)足少阳胆经属肝木,胆者敢也,惊怕则胆伤矣。乃命二侍女,执其两手,按高椅之上,当面
前,下置一小几。戴人曰∶娘子当视此。一木猛击之,其妇大惊。戴人曰∶我以木击几,何必惊乎。伺少定击
之,惊已缓。又斯须连击三五次,又以杖击门,又暗遣人画背后之窗。徐徐惊定而笑曰∶是何治法?戴人曰∶
《内经》云惊者平之,平者常也,平常见之必无惊。是夜使人击其门窗,自夕达曙。夫惊者,神上越也。从下
击几,使之下视,所以收神也。一二日,虽闻雷亦不惊。(《十形三疗》)

移精变气治疗验案
卫德新的妻子,在旅途中住在楼上,夜里遇到强盗抢劫并焚烧房屋,受惊吓从床上跌落下来。从此以后,每当听到响声,就会惊吓跌倒,失去知觉。
家人们走路都踮着脚尖,不敢发出声音触碰物品。一年多没有痊愈,各位医生将其作为心病治疗,使用人参、真珠以及定志丸等药物都没有效果。
张从正(戴人)诊察后判断说:“惊属于阳邪,是从外部侵入的;恐属于阴邪,是从内部产生的。惊是因为自己不知道原因而受到惊吓,恐则是自己心里清楚害怕的原因。”(按语:《医学纲目》引用这段话解释说:大概惊是听到响声就惊恐;恐是自己心里明白,像被人追捕的样子,以至于不能独自坐卧,必须有人陪伴才不恐惧,或者晚上一定需要点灯照明,没有灯火也恐惧的情况。)
足少阳胆经归属于肝木,胆主决断,受到惊吓则会损伤胆气。于是让两个侍女抓住她的双手,让她坐在高椅子上,面前放一个小几案。张从正说:“娘子请看这里。”突然用力敲击几案,妇人非常惊恐。张从正说:“我只是用木头敲击几案,何必惊慌呢?”等到她稍微平静后再次敲击,她的惊恐反应已经缓和。过了一会儿连续敲击三四次,又用拐杖敲击门窗,还暗中派人敲打背后的窗户。慢慢地,她的惊恐情绪平定并笑了起来,问:“这是什么治疗方法?”张从正说:“《内经》说‘惊者平之’,平的意思是平常,如果平时常见的事物,必然不会引起惊恐。”当天晚上让人敲击她的门窗,从傍晚一直持续到天亮。所谓惊,就是神气向上外越。从下方敲击几案,使她向下看,以此来收敛神气。一二天后,即使听到雷声也不会再惊恐了。(出自《儒门事亲·十形三疗》)
Formulas for Resolving Fluid Retention
Wendan Tang (Warm the Gallbladder Decoction) is used to treat deficiency and timidity of the Heart and Gallbladder, where one is easily startled by events, experiences ominous dreams, or is confused by strange visions. This leads to a frightened heart and gallbladder, Qi stagnation generating phlegm-fluids, and the struggle between phlegm-fluids and Qi, which transforms into various syndromes. Symptoms include shortness of breath, palpitations, and fatigue; recurrent spontaneous sweating; edema of the four limbs; loss of taste in food; empty feeling with vexation in the chest; and restlessness in sitting or lying down.

Case Report on Shifting Spirit (Yi Jing) Treatment
The wife of Wei Dexin was lodging in an upper floor during travel. At night, robbers raided and burned the house. She was startled and fell from the bed. Since then, whenever she heard a noise, she would faint from fright.
Her family members walked on tiptoes, daring not to make any sound. After more than a year without recovery, physicians treated it as a Heart disease using Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Zhenzhu (Margarita), and Dingzhi Wan (Stabilize Mind Pill), all to no avail.
Zhang Congzheng (courtesy name Dairen) examined her and diagnosed: "Fright (Jing) is Yang, entering from outside; Fear (Kong) is Yin, arising from within. Fright occurs due to unknown causes, while fear arises from known causes." [Note: *Yi Xue Gang Mu* cites this saying: Generally, Jing is startled by hearing noises; Kong involves self-awareness, like being hunted, unable to sit or lie alone, requiring companionship to avoid fear, or needing lights at night, fearing even without light.]
The Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian belongs to Liver Wood. The Gallbladder governs courage; fright injures the Gallbladder. He ordered two maids to hold her hands, place her on a high chair, and set a small table in front of her face. Zhang said, "Lady, look at this." He suddenly struck the table with wood. The woman was greatly startled. Zhang said, "I only struck the table with wood, why be alarmed?" Waiting until she calmed slightly, he struck again. Her startle response had eased. After a moment, he struck three or five times consecutively, then struck doors with a staff, and secretly had someone scratch behind the window. Gradually, her fright subsided, and she laughed, asking, "What treatment is this?" Zhang replied, "*Nei Jing* states 'Treat fright with Ping (calm/ordinary).' Ping means ordinary. If one sees common things regularly, there will be no fright." That night, he had people strike her doors and windows from dusk till dawn. Fright causes the Spirit (Shen) to ascend and escape. Striking from below makes her look down, thereby gathering the Shen. Within one or two days, even thunder did not startle her. (From *Rumen Shiqin · Shi Xing San Liao*)
