In our impression, Fangfeng Tongsheng Powder should be a prescription for treating internal and external excess, and this excess belongs to heat. In other words, a prescription of exterior-interior excess heat syndrome corresponds to Wuji powder. Five kinds of powder are used to treat upper and lower internal cold syndrome, and Fangfeng Tongsheng powder is used to treat upper and lower internal and external heat syndrome. Therefore, we often think that Fangfeng Tongsheng Powder is a prescription for treating heat syndrome.
Fangfeng Tongsheng Powder comes from Liu Hejian's Selected Prescriptions of Yellow Emperor Su Wen.
Radix Saposhnikoviae, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Radix Paeoniae, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Folium Menthae, Herba Ephedrae, Fructus Forsythiae, Natrii Sulfas, Gypsum Fibrosum, Scutellariae Radix, Radix Platycodi, Talcum, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Herba Schizonepetae, Atractylodis Macrocephalae, and Fructus Gardeniae. The top is the powder, two yuan each time, three slices of ginger in a large glass of water, fried until six minutes, and served warm. Rinse with saliva, add half a piece of Pinellia ternata and make it with ginger.
If you don't know this recipe, you will think it is a mess. Compared with Zhang Zhongjing's classic prescription, it feels a bit like shooting birds at random. I feel that the level of this prescription is not high.
And this prescription, when we know that it is prescribed by Liu Hejian, we will regard it as a prescription for treating heat syndrome. When we read the Yellow Emperor's exposition of Xuan Ming, we found that this prescription was placed in the closed door, not in the popular, and the name of the prescription was "Fangfeng". It is speculated that the prescription should be mainly anti-wind drugs.
The proportion of wind-dispelling drugs in the original prescription is very small. Radix Saposhnikoviae, Herba Menthae, Herba Ephedrae and Herba Schizonepetae are wind-dispelling drugs, and the total amount of the four drugs is less than that of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. In the whole prescription, the proportion is relatively small, and the amount of talc is the largest. Why?
Liu said in Huang Di Xuan Ming Lun Fang: "The husband's wind is hot and gloomy, and the wind is born of heat, based on heat, and the wind is the standard wind. Those who talk about the wind are also hot. "
It is Liu Hejian's academic proposition that heat is the foundation and wind is the standard. Wind-proof, saint-dispelling and wind-dispelling are the standards, and the roots behind the standards are still hot.
Liu zai said in the mystery of primary disease: "Most people's wind diseases are caused by extreme heat, and those with wind dryness should be dominated by heat. Feng Yun is a vulgar person who forgets his roots. " .
What we're talking about here is wind, but it's actually heat. The wind mentioned by Liu Hejian here refers to wind heat, which is based on heat and marked by wind. In other words, Fang Fengtong's "Shengsan" is a recipe for treating wind in Liu Hejian's works, but it is actually a recipe for treating heat.
Fangfeng Tongsheng powder comes from the "air door" in Liu Hejian's Huangdi Su Wenxuan's famous prescription. So, what is the prescription for treating heat in Liu Hejian's "Heat"?
There is a prescription called "Shenxiong Pill" in "Popular" to treat all heat syndromes.
"Rhubarb, Scutellaria baicalensis each two, morning glory, talc each four two. The top is fine powder, and the dripping water is pills, such as adzuki beans. Take ten to fifteen capsules with warm boiled water, and add ten capsules each time, three times a day. You can also use cold water, or honey pills are better.
Taking this medicine often, except for the accumulation of intestinal viscera, does not hurt the qi, and takes effect quickly, without the trouble of drug dryness and drowsiness, and the patients are quite satisfied. "
Shenxiong pill, which can be taken frequently, can remove intestinal scale and stagnation without hurting vitality.
Our life now may be different from that of the ancients. Nowadays, our living habits and eating habits lead to relatively more yang deficiency and yin deficiency, so Wenyang School began to flourish.
Let's look back and think about it. There are still many people who are blushing, with thick necks, big stomachs and poor stools. These people are often three highs and four highs. So, how should we do health care? Some people need to use Liu Hejian's method and often take Shenxiong Pills.
We compare the difference between Shenxiong Pill and Fangfeng Tongsheng Powder. Shenxiong Pill is a heat-clearing medicine, while Fangfeng Tongsheng Powder is used together with a spicy medicine. In other words, Shenxiong Pill really treats heat syndrome, while Fangfeng Tongsheng Powder treats wind-heat syndrome. Fangfeng Tongsheng Powder focuses on treating stagnation heat, and Shenxiong Pill focuses on treating stagnation fire.
We say that Liu Hejian is good at treating heat syndrome, which is more based on the theory of heat depression. Therefore, Liu Hejian's Fangfeng Qingsheng Powder is famous.
So, what role does the wind medicine in Fangfeng Tongsheng Powder play? Open depression and dispel depression. Therefore, doctors in Jin and Yuan Dynasties paid attention to depression, while Liu Hejian and Zhang paid attention to treating depression from evil. This "depression" means "heat depression". Yin fire in Li Dongyuan is also a kind of "stagnation heat", but "stagnation heat" is due to the lack of positive energy.
Liu Hejian's treatment of "stagnation of heat" needs bitter and pungent drugs, while Li Dongyuan's treatment of "yin fire" needs bitter, bitter and sweet drugs.
From this perspective, Li Dongyuan was certainly influenced by Liu Hejian when he constructed the theory of "Yin Fire".
Liu Hejian attributed this stagnation to "valve" and stagnation to "heat".
