瓜蒂散。
上一方,赤小豆一分。
赤小豆当归散。
上一方,赤小豆三升。
上二方之外,用赤小豆之方,皆非仲景之意,今不取焉。
大建中汤、小建中汤、黄 建中汤。
上三方,胶饴各一升。
主治∶胶饴之功,盖似甘草及蜜,故能缓诸急。
小建中汤证曰∶腹中急痛。又曰里急。又曰妇人腹中痛。大建中汤证曰∶上下痛而不可
触近。黄 建中汤证曰∶里急。根据此三方,则胶饴能治里急。夫腹中急痛,腹中痛,岂非里
急矣乎?余故曰∶胶饴之功,与甘草及蜜相似矣。
八味丸、土瓜根散、赤丸、天雄散。
上三方,各酒服之。
下瘀血汤。
上一方,酒煮之。
中华造酒,与本邦造法不同。然试其功,又无所异矣。凡单呼酒者,皆用无灰清酒。
醇酒,乃美清酒,故云以美清酒煮。汉书师古注∶醇酒不浇,谓浓酒也。按∶浓酒者,
酒之美者也,故曰美清酒。
李时珍引饮膳标食题云∶酒之清者,曰酿。《说文》∶酿, 也。然则清酒,宜用平常所

除了上述两个方剂外,其他使用赤小豆的方剂,都不是张仲景的本意,现在不予采纳。
大建中汤、小建中汤、黄 [芪] 建中汤。
以上三个方剂,饴胶(胶饴)各用一升。
主治:胶饴的功效,大致类似于甘草和蜂蜜,因此能够缓解各种急迫症状。
小建中汤的证候表现为:腹中急痛。又说有“里急”感。又说妇女腹中疼痛。大建中汤的证候表现为:腹部上下疼痛且不可触碰靠近。黄 [芪] 建中汤的证候表现为:“里急”。根据这三个方剂来看,胶饴能治疗里急。所谓腹中急痛、腹中痛,难道不是里急吗?所以我说道:胶饴的功效,与甘草及蜂蜜相似。
八味丸、土瓜根散、赤丸、天雄散。
以上三个方剂,均用酒送服。
下瘀血汤。
上一方,用酒煎煮。
中华地区酿造酒的方法,与我们国家(日本)的酿造法不同。然而测试其药效,又没有不同之处。凡是单称“酒”的,都使用无灰清酒。
醇酒,就是美清酒,所以说用美清酒煎煮。《汉书》颜师古注解说:“醇酒不浇”,指的是浓酒。按:浓酒是酒中的上品,所以称为美清酒。
当归芎 [劳] 胶艾汤。
上一方,用水和酒混合煎煮。
李时珍引用《饮膳正要》中的条目说:酒中清澈的部分,叫做“酿”。《说文解字》解释:“酿”,即 [发酵过程]。既然如此,清酒应该使用平常所饮用的 [酒]。
大猪胆汁导法。
上一方。
法醋无法考证:大概是指按照方法酿造的醋吧!原文中“本”字没有“法”字。
苦酒汤、黄 [芪] 芍药桂枝苦酒汤。
以上两个方剂,上方(苦酒汤)没有注明升合用量,下方(黄 [芪] 芍药桂枝苦酒汤)为一升。
Gua Di San (Melon Peduncle Powder).
In the preceding formula, Xiaohongdou (Vigna umbellata Seed) is used in the amount of one fen.
Xiaohongdang Gui San (Red Bean and Angelica Sinensis Powder).
In the preceding formula, Xiaohongdou (Vigna umbellata Seed) is used in the amount of three sheng.
Apart from the above two formulas, other formulas utilizing Xiaohongdou (Vigna umbellata Seed) do not reflect the intent of Zhang Zhongjing; therefore, they are not adopted here.
Da Jianzhong Tang (Major Construct the Middle Decoction), Xiao Jianzhong Tang (Minor Construct the Middle Decoction), Huang [Qi] Jianzhong Tang [Astragalus] Construct the Middle Decoction].
For the above three formulas, Jiaoyi (Malt Sugar/Maltose) is used in the amount of one sheng each.
Main indications: The efficacy of Jiaoyi (Malt Sugar/Maltose) is similar to that of Gancao (Licorice Root) and Fengmi (Honey); thus, it can alleviate various urgent conditions.
The syndrome of Xiao Jianzhong Tang (Minor Construct the Middle Decoction) states: "Urgent pain in the abdomen." It also mentions "internal urgency" (Li Ji). It further states: "Abdominal pain in women." The syndrome of Da Jianzhong Tang (Major Construct the Middle Decoction) states: "Pain throughout the upper and lower abdomen, intolerable to touch or pressure." The syndrome of Huang [Qi] Jianzhong Tang [Astragalus] Construct the Middle Decoction] states: "Internal urgency" (Li Ji). Based on these three formulas, Jiaoyi (Malt Sugar/Maltose) can treat internal urgency. Are abdominal urgent pain and abdominal pain not essentially internal urgency? Therefore, I say: The efficacy of Jiaoyi (Malt Sugar/Maltose) is similar to that of Gancao (Licorice Root) and Fengmi (Honey).
Ba Wei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill), Tugua Gen San (Trichosanthes Thunbergii Root Powder), Chi Wan (Red Pill), Tianxiong San (Aconitum Kochianum Powder).
The above three formulas are all administered with wine.
Xia Yuxue Tang (Descend Blood Stasis Decoction).
The preceding formula is decocted with wine.
The method of brewing wine in China differs from that in our country (Japan). However, when testing its efficacy, there is no difference. Whenever "wine" (Jiu) is mentioned alone, unfiltered clear wine (Wu Hui Qing Jiu) without ash residue should be used.
Mei Qing Jiu (Beautiful Clear Wine) is the same as that used in Mahuang Chun Jiu Tang (Ephedra Strong Wine Decoction).
In the preceding formula, Mei Qing Jiu (Beautiful Clear Wine) is used in the amount of five sheng.
Chun Jiu (Strong Wine) refers to Mei Qing Jiu (Beautiful Clear Wine); hence it is stated to be decocted with Mei Qing Jiu (Beautiful Clear Wine). Yan Shigu's commentary on the Book of Han states: "Chun Jiu (Strong Wine) is not diluted," referring to strong/concentrated wine. According to this analysis: Strong wine is the finest quality of wine; therefore, it is called Mei Qing Jiu (Beautiful Clear Wine).
Danggui Xiong [Lao] Jiao Ai Tang (Angelica, Ligusticum, Donkey-hide Gelatin, and Artemisia Leaf Decoction).
The preceding formula is decocted with a mixture of water and wine.
Li Shizhen cites the entry from Yin Shan Zheng Yao (Correct Essentials for Diet Therapy): "The clear part of wine is called 'Niang' (Fermented Brew)." The Shuo Wen Jie Zi explains: "'Niang' refers to [the process of] fermentation." Thus, clear wine should be the kind commonly consumed.
Da Zhu Dan Zhi Dao Fa (Large Pig Gallbladder Suppository Method).
The preceding formula.
Fa Cu (Method Vinegar) cannot be verified: it likely refers to vinegar brewed according to proper methods! The original text lacks the character "Fa" (Method) before "Ben" (Cost/Original).
Ku Jiu Tang (Bitter Wine Decoction), Huang [Qi] Shaoyao Guizhi Ku Jiu Tang [Astragalus], Peony, Cinnamon Twig, and Bitter Wine Decoction].
For the above two formulas, the former formula (Ku Jiu Tang) does not specify the volume measurements (Sheng/He), while the latter formula specifies one Sheng.
