大意
风者。百病之始也。又曰。百病之长也。善行而数变。（内经）大法有四。曰偏枯。半身不遂也。曰风痱。四肢不举
也。曰风 。卒倒不语也。曰风痹。遍身疼痛也。（岐伯）四症为风家纲领。故首列之。
内因
人之元气强壮。荣卫和平。腠理致密。外邪焉能为害。惟七情饮食。劳伤色欲。致真元耗散。荣卫空疏。邪乘
虚入。（用和）所以气虚之人。肝木不平而内风易作。（汇补）
外候
为卒中昏倒。为窜视 斜。为搐搦反张。为骨痛筋急。入经瘫痪。入络肤顽。（入门）暴喑暴昧。语言蹇涩。痰涎
壅盛。皆中风之候也。（医鉴）随其经络脏腑俞穴而调之。所谓虚之所在。邪必凑之。（汇补）
中脏
中脏者。内滞九窍。故昏沉不语。唇缓痰壅。耳聋鼻塞。目合不开。大小便闭。（机要）乃邪滞三阴里分。为闭症。
实者三生饮以疏上窍。三化汤以利下窍。虚人中脏。见脱症者。急宜大补参、附、 、术之类。（东垣）
中腑
中腑者。外着四肢。故手足不随。拘急不仁。或中身前。或中身侧。痿不能动。有六经形症。头疼发热。恶风恶
寒。面见五色。脉浮而弦。或痰涎壅盛。喘声不息。然目犹能视。口犹能言。大小便不闭。仍中腑也。（机要）乃邪
着三阳表分。宜发汗以泄其邪。小续命汤主之。（东垣）
中经
中经者。外无六经形症。内无便溺阻格。但半身不遂。语言蹇涩。（丹溪）若兼口眼歪斜。痰涎不利。乃邪着于
血脉之中。宜养血舒筋。大秦艽汤主之。
按。中脏中腑中血脉。论病之浅深也。是以发明云。中血脉则歪口眼。中腑则肢节废。中脏则性命危。凡
中腑之后。幸而得生。若不戒酒色。避风寒。病必复中。中必在脏。由浅入深。虽有仓扁。亦难措手也。
卒倒不语
卒倒不语为风 。即中脏症也。（汇补）咽中噫噫。舌强难言。俗称急中风。乃其候耳。发汗。身软者生。汗不出。
身硬唇干者死。视其鼻人中左右上下。白者可治。一赤一黑。吐沫者死。（医贯）以涤痰汤、八味顺气散主之。
大汗出。六君子汤加黄 主之。
半身不遂
半身不遂为偏枯。即中经症也。（汇补）因虚邪偏客于身半。内居荣卫。荣卫衰。真气去。邪气独留。发为偏枯。
（灵枢）在左为瘫。在右为痪。瘫者。坦也。筋脉弛纵。坦然不收。痪者。涣也。气血涣散。筋骨不用。（医贯）其在左
者。属死血少血。在右者。属痰壅气虚。（丹溪）未尝必指于风而后能也。但兼风者。其身必痛。纯属虚者。其身不
痛。（入门）外症。言不变。志不乱。病在分腠之间。益其不足。损其有余。乃可复也。（灵枢）以理断之。左半虽主血。
非气以通之。则不流。右半虽主气。非血以丽之。则易散。气血左右。不可执泥其治。一偏之病者。法当从阴
引阳。从阳引阴。从左引右。从右引左。溉其未枯。旁枝自茂。大概男子在右易治。在左难治。女人在左易治。
在右难治。（喻嘉言）
四肢不举
四肢不举为风痱。即中经脉也。（汇补）舌强不能言。足痿不能行。（河间）轻者。志不乱。言微知。易治。甚则不
能言者。难治。（灵枢）分而言之。有湿痰内滞者。痰火流注者。有肾肝阴虚者。有命门火衰者。有血衰气虚者。（病机）
遍身疼痛
遍身疼痛。即风痹症也。（汇补）外症。一臂不遂时。复转移一臂。（灵枢）四肢肌肉。不为我用。似偏枯而多痛者
是也。（三锡）因风寒湿气错合而成。寒胜则血凝而不流。故筋骨掣痛。为痛痹。湿胜则血濡而不和。故重着
不行。为着痹。风胜则气纵而不收。故走注疼痛。为行痹。三气兼并。血滞而气不通。故周身疼痛。为周痹。久
风入中。腠理不营。故肌肉不仁。为顽痹。腰项不能俯仰。手足不能屈伸。（医贯）其邪在经隧而痛者。易治。若
举动即痛者。是无血以养筋。名曰筋枯。不治。（丹溪）
口眼歪斜
手足阳明之脉。挟口环唇。手足太阳之脉。抵目两 。（灵枢）风邪入经。邪气反缓。正气反急。牵引口眼。歪斜
或左或右。（大全）
口噤不开
手三阳之筋。结于颔颊。足阳明之筋。挟于唇口。风邪乘之则筋挛。故令牙关急而口噤。宜破棺散揩齿数
遍。牙热自开。
失音不语
脾脉连舌本。心脉系舌本。肾脉循喉咙夹舌本。故心脾受风。则舌强难言。肾虚脉萎。则口喑不语。二者虚
实各不同也。又有风中会厌者。痰塞喉中者。痰迷心窍者。口噤不开者。若风气入脏。见绝症而难言者危。
筋脉螈
螈者。筋脉急而缩。 者。筋脉缓而伸。或伸或缩。动摇不止。（纲目）螈属肝经风热血燥。或肝火妄动耗血。
属肝经血气不足。或肝火汗多亡血。以致手足抽搐不已。（立斋）所谓血枯木旺而生风也。
十指麻木
大经小络。贯串一身。谓之脉。脉布四肢。络联百节。脉者血之隧道。筋者血所荣养。脉皆起于手足指端。筋
皆会于手足肢节。故血气衰耗。痰涎凝滞。而作麻木。宜神效黄 汤。或补中、六君。俱加钩藤、竹沥、姜汁。（汇补）
预防中风
平人手指麻木。不时眩晕。乃中风先兆。须预防之。宜慎起居。节饮食。远房帏。调情志。更以十全大补汤加
羌活常服。自愈。若古法。用天麻、 、愈风等汤。开其玄府。漏其真液。适所以招风取中。预防云乎哉。（准绳）
辨真中风
凡中暑中寒中湿。痰厥气厥。食厥热厥。虚晕。皆卒倒不语。但风必有歪斜搐搦。或偏枯之症为异。（入门）就
诸类症之中。惟中气与中风尤相似。但中气身冷脉沉无痰涎。中风身温脉浮有痰涎也。（汇补）
辨闭脱症
凡卒仆暴厥。须分闭脱。牙关紧闭。两手握固。即是闭症。其病易治。如口开鼾睡。小便自遗。即是脱症。其病
难治。（准绳）闭者。邪气闭塞于外。元气犹然在内。但与开关利气。则邪自散。故治易。脱者。元气泄于外。邪气
混于内。虽与峻补。而脏已伤残。故治难。诸症皆然。不独中风也。（汇补）
死候
心绝口开。肺绝鼾睡。脾绝手撒。肝绝眼闭。肾绝遗尿。肉脱筋痛。发直头摇。吐沫直视。面赤如妆。汗出如珠。
吐血下血。皆为不治。（正传）若见一二症。尚可救疗。如口开者。不过一时死。（汇补）
脉法
中风脉浮滑兼痰气。其或沉滑。勿以风治。大法。浮迟沉缓者。吉。洪大急疾者。凶。又脾脉独缓而无力者。亦难
治。
总治
风症皆痰为患。宜化痰为先。初得之即当顺气。日久即当活血。（丹溪）盖风本于热。热胜则风动。宜以静胜
其燥。养血是也。（机要）故治风先治血。血行风自灭。（伊芳川）其虚者又当培脾滋肾。脾土旺而血自生。脾气运
而痰自化。肾水足而热自除。肾气固而痰归经也。（汇补）
审汗下法
其病气实而中腑中脏者。不可失其通塞。或一气之微汗。或一旬之通利。（心法）但须少汗。亦须少下。多汗
则虚其卫。多下则损其荣。（机要）
审探吐法
痰涎壅盛。不能言者。皆当用吐。一吐不已。则再吐。然亦有气血虚而不可吐者。（心法）若一旦尽去其痰。则
手足骨节皆枯。反成痿废。慎之。（仲景）
禁服丹剂
古方有用丹剂者。为风入骨髓。不能遽出。故用龙、麝、牛、雄、珀、珠之类。辛香走窜。为斩关夺门之将。原为
中脏之闭症设。若施于气虚脱绝之人。反掌杀人。如油入面。莫之能出。（发明）
利便宜戒
有阳虚自汗。津液外亡。因而小便短少者。若概用利药。使荣卫枯竭。无以制火。烦热愈甚。当俟热退汗止。
小便自行。（发明）
通导宜慎
中脏之症。因风痰闭塞脏腑。每多幽道不通。诚宜开导。然有气衰血弱。不能润泽致燥者。又当养血。（汇补）
救卒中法
卒中昏倒。不知人事。牙关紧闭。涎潮壅塞。急以大指掐人中。候醒。用通顶散吹鼻。即提起头发。有嚏可治。
无嚏不治。如口噤不开。以白盐梅蘸僵蚕擦之。如风痰顽结。诸药不入者。稀涎散吐之。如风邪闭固。服药
不入者。防 汤熏之。脉虚自汗。并见前脱症者。参橘汤。或参 膏。加竹沥、姜汁灌之。再灸丹田气海二三
十壮。亦有得活者。（汇补）
用药总法
古法。中血脉。用大秦艽汤。中腑。用小续命汤。中脏。用三化汤。又闭症。用三生饮。脱症。用参附汤。
大概顺气化痰为主。二陈汤加乌药、枳壳、竹沥、姜汁。有六经症。再为加减。如无汗拘急。加羌活、防风。有汗

加木瓜。筋挛。加钩藤。在臂。加桂枝。在足。加牛膝。如风邪渐退。痰饮渐消。但半身不遂者。审是血虚。用二陈合
四物汤。气虚。用二陈合四君子汤。俱加秦艽、续断、竹沥、姜汁。其四肢不举。属湿痰者。三一承气汤泻之。属虚弱
者。十全大补汤补之。其大便不通。属痰实者。三化汤利之。属津涸者。四物麻仁汤润之。久而真气渐复。邪
气未除者。更用羌活愈风汤。史国公及长春浸酒等方。若中之轻者。自醒能言能食。惟身体不遂。或手足
挛蜷 曳者。亦用前浸酒二方。常服自愈。以上诸法。以疏风化痰为君。以补养气血为佐。以报使舒筋为
使。乃治真中风邪之剂也。若脾肾二经虚而中者。当滋化源。脾虚食少痰多者。六君子汤。中气倦怠而痰
多者。补中益气汤。加茯苓、半夏。心脾气虚而难言者。归脾汤。肾阴不足而难言者。六味地黄汤。肾经喑痱

【大意】
风，是百病发生的起始因素。又说，风是百病之长（首领）。风邪善于游走且变化迅速。《内经》中的大法将中风分为四类：一是偏枯，即半身不遂；二是风痱（fēi），即四肢无法抬起；三是风喑（yīn），即突然昏倒且不能说话；四是风痹，即全身疼痛。（岐伯）提出的这四种症状是风病的纲领，因此首先列出。
【内因】
人的元气强壮，营卫（运行于体内的气与血及其功能）调和，腠理（皮肤纹理及汗孔）致密，外邪怎么能侵害人体呢？只有七情（喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊）、饮食不当、劳累过度或房事不节，导致真元耗散，营卫空虚疏松，邪气才能乘虚而入。（李用和认为）所以气虚的人，肝木之气不平而容易内生风邪。（李用粹补充）
【外候】
表现为突然昏倒，眼球斜视或口眼歪斜，抽搐反张，骨痛筋急。邪气入经则瘫痪，入络则皮肤麻木顽硬。（《医门入门》）突然失音、神志昏迷、语言蹇涩、痰涎壅盛，都是中风的征候。（《医鉴》）应根据邪气所在的经络、脏腑和俞穴进行调理，这就是所谓的“虚的地方，邪气必定聚集”。（李用粹补充）
【中脏】
邪气中伤内脏，会导致九窍内部阻滞，所以出现昏沉不语、嘴唇松弛、痰涎壅盛、耳聋鼻塞、眼睛闭合不开、大小便闭塞。（《医学机要》）这是邪气滞留于三阴经的里分，属于闭证。实证可用三生饮来疏通上窍，三化汤来通利下窍。虚证的中脏患者，若出现脱证表现，急需使用人参、附子、白术等药物大补元气。（李东垣）
【中腑】
邪气中伤六腑，影响四肢，所以手足不能随意运动，拘挛僵硬且感觉迟钝。或者邪气侵犯身体前面或侧面，导致痿软不能活动，伴有六经的症状，如头痛发热、恶风恶寒、面色呈现五色异常、脉象浮而弦，或者痰涎壅盛、喘息声不停。但是眼睛还能看，嘴巴还能说话，大小便也不闭塞，这仍然属于中腑。（《医学机要》）这是邪气附着于三阳经的表分，应当发汗以泄出邪气，主方用小续命汤。（李东垣）
【中经】
邪气中伤经脉，外部没有六经的症状，内部也没有二便阻塞，只是半身不遂、语言蹇涩。（朱丹溪）如果兼有口眼歪斜、痰涎不利，这是邪气附着在血脉之中，应当养血舒筋，主方用大秦艽汤。
按语：中脏、中腑、中血脉，论述的是病情的深浅。所以阐明说：邪在中血脉则口眼歪斜，邪在中腑则肢节废用，邪在中脏则性命危险。凡是中腑之后，侥幸存活，如果不戒除酒色、避免风寒，病情必定复发再次中风口，且这次必中入脏。由浅入深，即使有仓公、扁鹊那样的神医，也难以措手治疗。
【卒倒不语】
突然昏倒不能说话，称为风喑，也就是中脏症。（李用粹补充）咽喉中发出噫噫声，舌体强硬难以言语，俗称急中风，就是这种征候。若能发汗，身体变软的预后良好；若汗不出，身体僵硬、嘴唇干燥的预后不良死亡。观察鼻翼和人中穴左右上下部位的颜色，白色者可治，一赤一黑、吐沫者死。（《医贯》）主方用涤痰汤、八味顺气散。若大汗出，用六君子汤加黄芪主治。
【半身不遂】
半身不遂称为偏枯，也就是中经症。（李用粹补充）因为虚邪偏客于身体的一半，内部居于营卫之间，营卫衰败，真气离去，邪气独留，从而发生偏枯。（《灵枢》）在左侧称为瘫，在右侧称为痪。瘫，意为坦，指筋脉弛缓纵容，坦然不能收摄；痪，意为涣，指气血涣散，筋骨失去作用。（《医贯》）在左侧的，属于死血（瘀血）和少血；在右侧的，属于痰壅和气虚。（朱丹溪）并不一定非要指为风邪所致。但如果兼有风邪，身体必然疼痛；纯属虚证的，身体不疼痛。（《医门入门》）外在症状表现为言语不变、神志不乱，病位在分腠之间，补益其不足，损减其有余，才可以恢复。（《灵枢》）从道理上判断，左半虽主血，但若无气以推动，则血液不流；右半虽主气，但若无血以依附，则气易散。气血在左右两侧的治疗不可固执泥守。对于偏侧的疾病，治疗方法应当从阴引阳，从阳引阴，从左引右，从右引左，灌溉未枯萎的部分，旁枝自然茂盛。大概男子在右侧易治，在左侧难治；女人在左侧易治，在右侧难治。（喻嘉言）
【四肢不举】
四肢不能抬起称为风痱，也就是中经脉症。（李用粹补充）舌体强硬不能说话，足部痿软不能行走。（刘河间）轻症的，神志不乱，言语微弱但能知晓，容易治疗；严重的不能说话的，难治。（《灵枢》）具体分析，有湿痰内滞的，有痰火流注的，有肾肝阴虚的，有命门火衰的，有血衰气虚的。（《病机微论》）
【遍身疼痛】
全身疼痛，即风痹症。（李用粹补充）外在症状表现为一只手臂不能活动时，随后又转移到另一只手臂。（《灵枢》）四肢肌肉不受控制，像偏枯但多疼痛的情况。（《三锡医案》）这是因为风寒湿气交错结合而成。寒胜则血液凝滞而不流动，所以筋骨掣痛，称为痛痹；湿胜则血液濡润但不调和，所以沉重着滞不行，称为着痹；风胜则气纵弛不收，所以走注疼痛，称为行痹。三种邪气兼并，血液滞涩而气不通畅，所以周身疼痛，称为周痹。久风入中，腠理得不到滋养，所以肌肉麻木不仁，称为顽痹。腰项不能俯仰，手足不能屈伸。（《医贯》）邪气在经络隧道中引起疼痛的，容易治疗；若举动就疼痛的，是无血以养筋，名叫筋枯，难以治疗。（朱丹溪）
【口眼歪斜】
手阳明和大肠经的脉络，挟持口唇环绕嘴唇；手太阳和小肠经的脉络，抵达目内眦和外眦。（《灵枢》）风邪入经，邪气所在之处筋脉弛缓，正气所在之处筋脉拘急，牵引口眼，导致歪斜，或向左或向右。（《大全》）
【口噤不开】
手三阳经的筋，结于下颌颊车；足阳明经的筋，挟持于唇口。风邪侵袭则筋脉挛缩，所以导致牙关紧急而口噤不开。宜用破棺散揩齿数遍，牙齿发热后自然张开。
【失音不语】
脾脉连接舌根，心脉系于舌根，肾脉循喉咙夹舌根。所以心脾受风，则舌体强硬难以言语；肾虚脉萎，则口喑不语。这两种情况虚实各不相同。又有风邪中伤会厌的，痰塞喉中的，痰迷心窍的，口噤不开的。若风气入脏，出现绝症而难以言语的，预后危险。
【筋脉瘛疭（chì zòng）】
瘛，指筋脉紧急收缩；疭，指筋脉舒缓伸展。或伸或缩，动摇不止。（《本草纲目》）瘛疭属肝经风热血燥，或肝火妄动耗伤血液，属肝经血气不足，或肝火旺出汗多亡血，以致手足抽搐不已。（薛立斋）所谓血枯木旺而生风。
【十指麻木】
大经小络，贯穿一身，称为脉。脉布散于四肢，络联络于百节。脉是血的通道，筋是由血所荣养的。脉都起于手足指端，筋都汇聚于手足肢节。所以气血衰耗，痰涎凝滞，而产生麻木。宜用神效黄芪汤，或补中益气汤、六君子汤，均加钩藤、竹沥、姜汁。（李用粹补充）
【预防中风】
普通人手指麻木，不时眩晕，这是中风的先兆，必须预防。宜谨慎起居，节制饮食，远离房事，调畅情志，再用十全大补汤加羌活常服，自愈。若是古法，用天麻、防风、愈风等汤，开泄玄府（汗孔），漏泄真液，这恰恰是招致风邪入侵的原因，怎能说是预防呢？（王肯堂）
【辨真中风】
凡中暑、中寒、中湿、痰厥、气厥、食厥、热厥、虚晕，都会突然昏倒不语。但风邪必有口眼歪斜、抽搐或偏枯等症状作为区别。（《医门入门》）在各类病症中，只有中气（气机逆乱）与中风尤其相似。但中气者身体冷、脉沉、无痰涎；中风者身体温、脉浮、有痰涎。（李用粹补充）
【辨闭脱症】
凡是突然仆倒暴厥，必须区分闭证和脱证。牙关紧闭，两手握固，即是闭证，病情容易治疗。如口开打鼾睡，小便自遗，即是脱证，病情难治。（王肯堂）闭证，是邪气闭塞于外，元气尚在内，只要开关利气，邪气自然消散，所以治疗容易。脱证，是元气泄于外，邪气混杂于内，虽然给予峻补，但脏腑已伤残，所以治疗困难。各种病症都是如此，不仅限于中风。（李用粹补充）
【死候】
心绝则口开，肺绝则鼾睡，脾绝则手撒，肝绝则眼闭，肾绝则遗尿。肌肉脱陷，筋痛，头发直竖，头摇，吐沫，直视，面赤如妆（化妆般红润），汗出如珠，吐血下血，都是不治之症。（《景岳全书·正传》）若见到一二症，尚可救疗。如口开的，不过一时死。（李用粹补充）
【脉法】
中风脉象浮滑兼有痰气，或者是沉滑，不要单纯当作风邪治疗。大法：脉浮迟、沉缓的，吉利；脉洪大急疾的，凶险。另外脾脉独缓而无力的，也难治。
【总治】
风症皆由痰引起，宜以化痰为先。初得病时应当顺气，日久则应当活血。（朱丹溪）盖因风本于热，热胜则风动，宜以静胜其燥，养血即是此意。（《医学机要》）所以治风先治血，血行风自灭。（伊芳川）虚证的患者又应当培补脾胃、滋补肾肾。脾土旺盛则血自生，脾气运化则痰自化，肾水充足则热自除，肾气固摄则痰归经。（李用粹补充）
【审汗下法】
病气实而中腑中脏的，不可错失通塞之机。或一气之间微汗，或一旬之内通利。（《伤寒心法》）但须微汗，也须微下。多汗则使卫气虚弱，多下则损伤营血。（《医学机要》）
【审探吐法】
痰涎壅盛，不能言语的，都应当用吐法。一次吐不尽，则再吐。但也有气血虚弱而不能吐的。（《伤寒心法》）若一旦彻底去除其痰，则手足骨节皆枯槁，反而成为痿废。务必谨慎。（张仲景）
【禁服丹剂】
古方有用丹药的，是因为风邪深入骨髓，不能立即排出，所以用龙脑、麝香、牛黄、雄黄、琥珀、珍珠之类。这些药物辛香走窜，如同斩关夺门的将领，原本是为中脏的闭证设立的。若施用于气虚脱绝之人，反掌之间即可杀人，如油入面，无法取出。（《医学发明》）
【利便宜戒】
有阳虚自汗，津液外亡，因而小便短少的，若一概使用利尿药，会使营卫枯竭，无法制约火邪，烦热更加严重。应当等待热退汗止，小便自行通畅。（《医学发明》）
【通导宜慎】
中脏的病症，因风痰闭塞脏腑，往往多幽道不通，确实应当开导。但有气衰血弱，不能润泽导致干燥的，又应当养血。（李用粹补充）
【救卒中法】
突然昏倒，不知人事，牙关紧闭，涎潮壅塞，急忙用大拇指掐人中穴，待苏醒后，用通顶散吹入鼻腔，随即提起头发，有喷嚏的可治，无喷嚏的不治。如口噤不开，用白盐梅蘸僵蚕擦拭牙齿。如风痰顽固凝结，诸药不入者，用稀涎散催吐。如风邪闭固，服药不入者，用防风黄芪汤熏蒸。脉虚自汗，并见前述脱症者，用参橘汤，或参附膏，加竹沥、姜汁灌服。再灸丹田、气海穴二三十壮，也有得活的。（李用粹补充）
【用药总法】
古法：中血脉，用大秦艽汤；中腑，用小续命汤；中脏，用三化汤；闭证，用三生饮；脱证，用参附汤。大概以顺气化痰为主，用二陈汤加乌药、枳壳、竹沥、姜汁。若有六经症状，再行加减。如无汗拘急，加羌活、防风；有汗体痛，加芍药、桂枝；恶寒身热，加柴胡、黄芩；头痛目眩，加川芎、蔓荆子；口眼歪斜，加全蝎、天麻；头眩烘热，加甘菊、细茶；风痰壅盛，加南星、贝母；恍惚谵语，加石菖蒲、远志、茯神、枣仁；手足抽搐，亦加僵蚕、天麻；筋急，加木瓜；筋挛，加钩藤；病在臂，加桂枝；病在足，加牛膝。如风邪渐退，痰饮渐消，仅存半身不遂者，审察是血虚，用二陈汤合四物汤；气虚，用二陈汤合四君子汤，均加秦艽、续断、竹沥、姜汁。其四肢不举，属湿痰者，用三一承气汤泻之；属虚弱者，用十全大补汤补之。其大便不通，属痰实者，用三化汤利之；属津液干枯者，用四物麻仁汤润之。久而真气渐复，邪气未除者，更用羌活愈风汤、史国公药酒及长春浸酒等方。若中风较轻者，自醒能言能食，惟身体不遂，或手足挛蜷曳行者，亦用前两种浸酒方，常服自愈。以上诸法，以疏风化痰为君药，以补养气血为佐药，以报使舒筋为使药，乃是治疗真中风邪的药剂。若脾肾二经虚而中风的，当滋生化之源。脾虚食少痰多者，用六君子汤；中气倦怠而痰多者，用补中益气汤加茯苓、半夏；心脾气虚而难言者，用归脾汤；肾阴不足而难言者，用六味地黄汤；肾经喑痱者，用地黄饮子；肝经血燥而拳蜷者，用加味逍遥散。若病状虽减，而未能复原者，审察其肝脾肾三家，何经气虚血虚，阴虚阳虚，服用六味丸、七味丸、八味丸、归脾丸、还少丹、虎潜丸。再以四君子汤、六君子汤、八珍汤、十全大补汤、补中益气汤、归脾汤等，日服不间断。纵有虚风，也能潜移默化地消除。

[Major Principles]
Wind is the beginning of all diseases. It is also said that wind is the leader of all diseases. Wind pathogenic factors move swiftly and change frequently. The general principles in *Neijing* (*Classic of Internal Medicine*) categorize them into four types: 1) Pianku (hemiplegia), characterized by paralysis of half the body; 2) Fengfei, characterized by inability to lift the limbs; 3) Fengyin, characterized by sudden collapse and aphasia; 4) Fengbi, characterized by generalized body pain. The four symptoms described by Qibo serve as the outline for wind diseases and are listed first.
[Internal Causes]
When a person's Yuanqi (Original Qi) is strong, Yingwei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi) are harmonious, and Couli (interstices/pores) are dense, how can external pathogens cause harm? Only through the Seven Emotions (Joy, Anger, Worry, Thought, Sorrow, Fear, Fright), improper diet, overexertion, or sexual indiscretion, leading to the depletion of Zhenyuan (True Origin/Qi), causing Yingwei to become empty and loose, allowing pathogens to enter via deficiency. Li Yonghe stated that thus, in people with Qi deficiency, Liver Wood becomes unbalanced, making internal wind easy to arise. Li Yongcui added this perspective.
[External Manifestations]
Manifestations include sudden collapse, strabismus or facial deviation, spasms and opisthotonos, bone pain and tendon stiffness. Pathogens entering the meridians cause paralysis; entering the collaterals causes skin numbness and hardness. Sudden aphonia, coma, dysarthria, and excessive phlegm-saliva are all signs of stroke. Treatment should follow the meridians, organs, and acupoints where the pathogens reside, as "where there is deficiency, pathogens gather."
[Pathogens Entering the Zang Organs]
When pathogens strike the Zang organs, they block the nine orifices internally, resulting in lethargy, aphasia, flaccid lips, excessive phlegm, deafness, nasal congestion, closed eyes, and constipation/urinary retention. This is due to pathogens stagnating in the interior of the Three Yin meridians, constituting a Bi (Closed) syndrome. For excess patterns, Sansheng Yin (Three Lives Decoction) may be used to open the upper orifices, and Sanhua Tang (Three Transformations Decoction) to clear the lower orifices. For deficiency patterns presenting with Tuo (Collapse) signs, urgent supplementation with Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Fuzi (Aconite Lateralis Radix Praeparata), Baizhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), etc., is required.
[Pathogens Entering the Fu Organs]
When pathogens strike the Fu organs, they affect the four limbs, causing involuntary movement, stiffness, and insensitivity. Pathogens may attack the anterior or lateral aspects of the body, causing flaccidity and immobility, accompanied by Six Meridian symptoms such as headache, fever, aversion to wind/cold, abnormal facial colors, floating and wiry pulse, or excessive phlegm and continuous wheezing. However, if vision and speech remain intact and bowel/bladder functions are normal, it remains a Fu organ strike. This indicates pathogens attaching to the exterior of the Three Yang meridians. Sweating should be induced to release pathogens, primarily using Xiao Xuming Tang (Minor Continuation of Life Decoction).
[Pathogens Entering the Meridians]
When pathogens strike the meridians, there are no external Six Meridian symptoms nor internal obstruction of urination/defecation, only hemiplegia and dysarthria. If accompanied by facial deviation and difficult phlegm expectoration, it indicates pathogens in the blood vessels. Blood nourishment and tendon relaxation are indicated, primarily using Da Qinjiao Tang (Great Notopterygia Decoction).
Note: Striking Zang, Fu, or meridians discusses the depth of disease. Striking meridians causes facial deviation; striking Fu organs causes limb disability; striking Zang organs endangers life. After surviving a Fu organ strike, if one does not abstain from alcohol/sex and avoid wind/cold, relapse will occur, progressing to Zang organs. From shallow to deep, even masters like Cang Gong or Bian Que would find it difficult to treat.
[Sudden Collapse and Aphasia]
Sudden collapse and aphasia constitute Fengyin, i.e., Zang organ strike. Groaning sounds in the throat and stiff tongue are known as acute stroke. Prognosis: If sweating occurs and the body softens, survival is likely; if no sweat, body stiffens, and lips dry out, death ensues. Observation of the nose and Renzhong (GV26): white color is treatable; red on one side and black on the other with foaming indicates death. Treat with Dixtan Tang (Phlegm-Scouring Decoction) or Bawei Shunqi San (Eight-Ingredient Qi-Smooth Powder). For profuse sweating, use Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) plus Huangqi (Astragali Radix).
[Hemiplegia]
Hemiplegia is Pianku, i.e., meridian strike. Caused by deficient pathogens lodging in half the body, disrupting Yingwei. When Yingwei decline and True Qi departs, pathogens remain alone, causing Pianku. Left-side paralysis is called Tan (flaccid/relaxed tendons); right-side is called Huan (scattered Qi/blood). Left-sided cases often involve blood stasis and blood deficiency; right-sided cases involve phlegm obstruction and Qi deficiency. It is not always due to wind; if accompanied by wind, pain is present; if purely deficiency, no pain. Externally, speech and spirit remain unchanged, indicating the disease is in the interstices. Tonify deficiency, reduce excess. Treatment should draw from Yin to Yang, left to right, irrigating non-withered parts so branches flourish. Generally, men are easier to treat on the right, harder on the left; women are easier on the left, harder on the right.
[Inability to Lift Limbs]
Inability to lift limbs is Fengfei, i.e., meridian/channel strike. Stiff tongue, inability to speak, flaccid legs. Mild cases (clear mind, faint speech) are easy to treat; severe cases (inability to speak) are difficult. Differentiate into: damp-phlegm stagnation, phlegm-fire flow, Kidney-Liver Yin deficiency, Mingmen Fire decline, or blood/Qi deficiency.
[Generalized Body Pain]
Generalized body pain is Fengbi. Symptoms include alternating arm paralysis. Muscles are unusable, resembling Pianku but with more pain. Caused by mixed Wind-Cold-Damp. Cold dominance causes blood coagulation (Tongbi/Painful Bi); Damp dominance causes heaviness (Zhuobi/Adherent Bi); Wind dominance causes wandering pain (Xingbi/Wandering Bi). All three combined cause Zhoubi (Generalized Bi). Long-term wind causes Wanbi (Stubborn Bi) with muscle numbness. Inability to bend/extend waist/neck/hands/feet. Pain in meridians is easy to treat; pain upon movement indicates Jin Ku (Tendon Withering), which is untreatable.
[Facial Deviation]
Hand-Yangming and Foot-Yangming meridians surround the mouth/lips; Hand-Taiyang and Foot-Taiyang meridians reach the eyes. Wind pathogens cause slackness in affected areas and tension in healthy areas, pulling the face to one side.
[Jaw Lock]
Sinews of Hand-Triple Burner and Foot-Stomach meridians connect to the jaw/mouth. Wind invasion causes sinew spasm, locking the jaw. Use Pokuan San (Coffin-Breaking Powder) to rub teeth until warm/open.
[Aphonia]
Spleen, Heart, and Kidney meridians connect to the tongue root. Wind striking Heart/Spleen causes stiff tongue; Kidney deficiency causes aphonia. Also consider wind striking Huian (epiglottis), phlegm blocking throat, or phlegm confusing Heart orifices. Wind entering Zang organs with terminal signs is critical.
[Tendinous Spasms (Chizong)]
Chizi refers to alternating contraction and extension of tendons. Associated with Liver channel Wind-Fire, Blood Dryness, or Liver Fire consuming Blood. Results in continuous convulsions. Described as "Blood Withering, Wood Flourishing generating Wind."
[Numbness of Ten Fingers]
Meridians and collaterals permeate the body. Blood vessels are tunnels for blood; tendons are nourished by blood. Qi/Blood deficiency and phlegm stagnation cause numbness. Use Shenxiao Huangqi Tang (Miraculous Astragalus Decoction), Buzhong Yiqi Tang, or Liujunzi Tang, adding Gouteng (Uncariae Ramulus cum Uncis), Zhuli (Bambusa Sap), and Jiangzhi (Zingiberis Juice).
[Prevention of Stroke]
Numb fingers and dizziness are precursors. Prevent by regulating lifestyle, diet, sexual activity, and emotions. Take Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten-Agent Great Supplement Decoction) plus Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) regularly. Ancient methods using Tianma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma) etc., to open pores and leak fluids actually invite wind; do not use for prevention.
[Distinguishing True Stroke]
Heatstroke, coldstrike, dampstrike, Phlegm/Jue, Food/Heat Jue, and fainting all cause sudden collapse. True stroke is distinguished by facial deviation, spasms, or hemiplegia. Differentiate from Zhongqi (Qi Strike): Zhongqi has cold body, deep pulse, no phlegm; Stroke has warm body, floating pulse, phlegm.
[Distinguishing Closed vs. Collapse Syndromes]
Sudden collapse requires distinguishing Bi (Closed) vs. Tuo (Collapse). Bi: Jaw locked, fists clenched (pathogen blocked outside, Qi inside) – easier to treat. Tuo: Mouth open, snoring, urinary incontinence (Qi leaking out, pathogen inside) – difficult to treat.
[Signs of Death]
Heart failure: mouth open. Lung failure: snoring. Spleen failure: hands relaxed. Liver failure: eyes closed. Kidney failure: urinary incontinence. Muscle wasting, tendon pain, straight hair, head shaking, foaming, fixed gaze, ruddy complexion, pearl-like sweat, hematemesis/hematochezia are all untreatable. Seeing one or two signs may still be salvageable.
[Pulse Diagnosis]
Stroke pulses are Floating-Slippery (with phlegm/Qi) or Deep-Slippery. Do not treat solely as wind. Floating-Slow/Deep-Slow are auspicious; Surging-Large/Urgent are ominous. Spleen pulse alone slow and weak is difficult.
[General Treatment]
Wind diseases are caused by phlegm; resolve phlegm first. Initially regulate Qi; later invigorate Blood. Wind originates from Heat; calmness overcomes dryness/nourish Blood. "Treat Blood first to extinguish Wind." Deficiency requires strengthening Spleen/Kidney. Spleen generates Blood; Spleen transforms Phlegm; Kidney water clears Heat; Kidney Qi secures Phlegm.
[Reviewing Sweating and Purging Methods]
For excess patterns in Fu/Zang, do not miss opportunities to open/block. Use mild sweating or gentle purging. Excessive sweating damages Wei Qi; excessive purging damages Ying Blood.
[Reviewing Emetic Methods]
Excessive phlegm requiring emesis. Repeat if necessary. Contraindicated in Qi/Blood deficiency. Complete removal of phlegm may lead to flaccidity; be cautious.
[Contraindication of Mineral Pills]
Ancient formulas used mineral pills (Dragon brain/Musk/Ox gall/Antimony/Amber/Pearl) for wind in marrow. These are pungent/aromatic and penetrating, suitable only for Closed Zang syndromes. Using them in Qi-deficiency/Collapse patients is fatal ("oil entering flour").
[Caution on Diuretics]
Yang deficiency with spontaneous sweating and fluid loss causing scant urine: do not use diuretics blindly, as this depletes Ying/Wei and exacerbates heat/fire. Wait for heat/subside and sweat stop before urine regulates naturally.
[Caution on Cathartics]
Zang strikes with phlegm-blockage often have obstructed bowels; opening is appropriate. However, in Qi/Blood deficiency causing dryness, nourish Blood instead.
[Emergency Rescue Methods]
For sudden collapse, jaw lock, and phlegm tide: pinch Renzhong (GV26). Once awake, blow Tongding San (Upper-Reaching Powder) into nostrils and pull hair. Sneezing indicates treatability; absence indicates fatality. For jaw lock, rub teeth with Salt Plum and Cang'er (Bombyx Batryticatus). For stubborn phlegm, use Xitan San (Saliva-Flowing Powder) to induce vomiting. For sealed wind pathogens preventing oral medication, use Fangfeng Huangqi Tang fumigation. For deficiency/sweating/Collapse signs, use Shenju Tang or Shenfu Gao with Zhuli/Jiangzhi. Moxibustion on Dantian (CV17) and Qihai (CV6) may save lives.
[General Medication Principles]
Ancient rules: Meridian strike -> Da Qinjiao Tang; Fu strike -> Xiao Xuming Tang; Zang strike -> Sanhua Tang; Closed -> Sansheng Yin; Collapse -> Shenfu Tang. Base formula: Erchen Tang + Wuyao, Zhike, Zhuli, Jiangzhi. Additions based on Six Meridian symptoms: No sweat/stiffness -> Qianghuo, Fangfeng; Sweat/body ache -> Shaoyao, Guizhi; Aversion to cold/fever -> Chaihu, Huangqin; Headache/dizziness -> Chuanxiong, Manjingzi; Facial deviation -> Quanxie, Tianma; Hot dizziness -> Ganju, Xicha; Phlegm -> Nanxing, Beimu; Delirium -> Shichangpu, Yuanzhi, Fushen, Zaoren; Spasms -> Cang'er, Tianma; Tendon tightness -> Mugua; Sinew cramping -> Gouteng; Arm involvement -> Guizhi; Leg involvement -> Niuxi. As wind/phlegm recede, focus on hemiplegia: Blood deficiency -> Erchen + Siwu Tang; Qi deficiency -> Erchen + Sijunzi Tang. Add Qinjiao, Xuduan, Zhuli, Jiangzhi. For limb paralysis: Damp-phlegm -> Sanyi Chengqi Tang; Weakness -> Shiquan Dabu Tang. For constipation: Phlegm-excess -> Sanhua Tang; Fluid depletion -> Siwu Mahren Tang. For chronic recovery: Qianghuo Yufeng Tang, Shiguogong Wine, Changchun Wine. For mild cases: Self-recovery with wines. General principle: Dispel Wind/Resolve Phlegm as Sovereign; Tonify Qi/Blood as Minister; Guide/Relax Tendons as Envoy. For Spleen/Kidney deficiency origins: Spleen deficiency -> Liujunzi Tang; Qi fatigue/phlegm -> Buzhong Yiqi Tang + Fuling, Banxia; Heart/Spleen Qi deficiency/aphasia -> Guipi Tang; Kidney Yin deficiency/aphasia -> Liuwei Dihuang Tang; Kidney Yin/Yang deficiency -> Dihuang YinzI Tang; Liver Blood Dryness -> Jiawei Xiaoyao San. For incomplete recovery: Assess Liver/Spleen/Kidney deficiency patterns; use Liuwei, Qiwei, Bawei Wan, Guipi Wan, Huaishao Dan, Huqian Wan. Continue with Sijunzi, Liujunzi, Bazhen, Shiquan Dabu, Buzhong Yiqi, Guipi decoctions daily to subdue latent wind.
