脉象因体内干热而表现为短缩，反而出现身体反张、抽搐掣动的症状。这是病情发展的必然结果。患者还能承受这些香燥以及一切大毒等药物吗？我曾经按照张仲景的疾病治疗方法，来治疗俗称急惊风、慢惊风的病症，没有不是服药后立刻见效的。在此篇末揭示出来，大概是希望志同道合的人共同遵循它，那么所救活的人就无穷无尽了。但是刚痉和柔痉，就是今人所说的急惊风，都属于阳证。其病脉、症状和治疗，已经在本篇中详细论述。另外有一种阴痉症，就是俗话所说的慢惊风，本篇中没有具体论述条文和方药，或许是因为散见于《伤寒论》中的缘故吧。现在我不揣冒昧，窃取《伤寒论》的宗旨，拟定了五条论述，移用了四个方剂，都是经过多次试验屡次验证有效的，高明的人士千万不要因为认为我僭越狂妄而漠视它们啊。
疾病表现为寒热往来，发冷时则下利、四肢厥逆，发热时则呕吐、咳嗽、烦躁、惊悸的，用柴胡加龙骨牡蛎汤主治。如果没有太阳病（太阳经受邪所致的病证）的症状，乳食如常，只是呕吐，面色微黄，或者泻下青绿色粪便的，这是将要发生阴痉（阴痉）。
The pulse becomes short and contracted due to internal dryness-heat, accompanied by opisthotonos (backward bending of the body) and spasmodic twitching. This is the natural progression of the disease. Can the patient still tolerate these aromatic-drying and all kinds of highly toxic medicines? I have once applied Zhang Zhongjing's methods for treating diseases to cure conditions commonly known as Ji Jing Feng (Acute Convulsive Disorder) and Man Jing Feng (Chronic Convulsive Disorder), with no case failing to respond immediately to the prescribed formula. I reveal this at the end of this chapter, hoping that those with shared interests will follow it together, thereby saving countless lives. However, Gang Jing (Rigid Spasm) and Rou Jing (Flaccid Spasm), which are what people today call Ji Jing Feng, both belong to Yang syndromes. Their pathological pulses, symptoms, and treatments have been detailed in this chapter. There is another condition, Yin Jing (Yin Spasm), which is commonly referred to as Man Jing Feng. This chapter does not specifically discuss its clauses, formulas, or herbs; perhaps they are scattered throughout the Shanghan Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage). Now, presumptuously borrowing the principles of the Shanghan Lun, I propose five discussions and adapt four formulas, all of which have been repeatedly tested and proven effective. Those of superior insight must not ignore them on the grounds that I am overstepping or arrogant.
When a disease presents with alternating chills and fever, where chills are accompanied by diarrhea and cold extremities, and fever is accompanied by vomiting, cough, irritability, and palpitations/convulsions, Chai Hu Jia Long Gu Mu Li Tang (Bupleurum Decoction plus Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell) should be used. If there are no symptoms of Taiyang Bing (Taiyang Disease), and the intake of milk and food remains normal, but only vomiting occurs, with a slightly yellow complexion or greenish-green loose stools, this indicates the impending onset of Yin Jing (Yin Spasm).
