伤寒杂病论
Lily Disease is characterized by "a hundred vessels sharing one origin"—all the body's vessels spring from a single source, so once disharmony occurs, it can affect all the vessels and manifest various symptoms. The patient wants to eat but cannot, often remains silent and withdrawn, wants to lie down but cannot rest peacefully, wants to walk but cannot take steps; sometimes food smells fragrant, and at other times they loathe the smell of food; they feel cold but are not truly cold, feel hot but are not truly hot; the mouth is bitter, and the urine is yellow-red. Many medications prove ineffective, and after taking medicine, they may experience severe vomiting and diarrhea, as if possessed by a spirit. Yet upon external examination, there is no obvious severe illness; the pulse is faint and rapid.
If there is headache with each urination, recovery may occur in about sixty days. If there is no headache during urination, only slight chills with discomfort as if spattered by cold water, recovery may occur in about forty days. If urination is free-flowing with only dizziness, recovery may occur in about twenty days. These manifestations may appear before the onset of other illnesses, or they may appear four to five days, twenty days, or even a month after an illness; treatment should be based on the current presenting patterns.
Original appended formulas (⚠️ These formulas come from ancient texts and are for theoretical study only; they do not constitute modern medical guidance)
Baihe Zhimu Tang (Lily & Anemarrhena Decoction): For Lily Disease following sweat therapy, the original text uses this formula. Ingredients: Seven bulbs of lily, three liang of anemarrhena (zhimu). Usage: First wash the lily, soak overnight, pour away after white foam emerges; separately boil two sheng of spring water with lily to yield one sheng, strain; separately boil two sheng of spring water with anemarrhena to yield one sheng, strain; combine and decoct to one sheng and five ge, take warm in two divided doses.
Baihe Huashi Daizhe Tang (Lily, Talc & Hematite Decoction): For Lily Disease following purgative therapy, the original text uses this formula. Ingredients: Seven bulbs of lily, three liang of talc, hematite (daizheshi) sized like a pellet (broken, wrapped in cotton). Usage: First wash and boil lily per previous method; separately boil two sheng of spring water with talc and hematite to yield one sheng, strain; combine and decoct again to one sheng five ge, take warm in two divided doses.
Baihe Jizihuang Tang (Lily & Egg Yolk Decoction): For Lily Disease following emetic therapy, the original text uses this formula. Ingredients: Seven bulbs of lily, one egg yolk. Usage: First wash and boil lily as before, strain, add egg yolk and stir well, take in a single dose.
Baihe Dihuang Tang (Lily & Rehmannia Decoction): For Lily Disease without prior sweating, vomiting, or purging, with the condition still as at onset, the original text uses this formula. Ingredients: Seven bulbs of lily, one sheng of rehmannia juice. Usage: First boil lily as before, strain, add rehmannia juice, decoct to one sheng five ge, take warm in two divided doses. Stop once the disease is resolved; do not continue. The stool should appear black and lacquer-like.
Baihe Xi Fang (Lily Washing Formula): For Lily Disease with thirst persisting one month without recovery, the original text recommends external washing. Ingredients: One sheng of lily. Usage: Soak overnight in one dou of water, then use the water to bathe the body. After bathing, eat boiled noodles without salt or fermented soybeans.
Gualou Muli San (Trichosanthes & Oyster Powder): If thirst remains unrelieved after using the washing formula, the original text uses this powder. Ingredients: Trichosanthes root (Tianhua Fen) and roasted oyster, equal parts. Usage: Pound into powder; take one fangcun spoon with rice water (congee water), three times daily.
Baihe Huashi San (Lily & Talc Powder): For Lily Disease presenting with fever, the original text uses this formula. Ingredients: One liang of roasted lily, two liang of talc. Usage: Grind into powder; take one fangcun spoon with liquid, three times daily. Mild diarrhea should occur; stop after fever subsides.
Treatment principle for Lily Disease: When manifestations are in the yin aspect, use yang methods to rescue; when manifestations are in the yang aspect, use yin methods to rescue. If yang signs are seen but the yin is attacked, and sweating is further induced, this is contrary treatment; if yin signs are seen but yang is attacked, and purgation is used instead, this is also contrary treatment.
Fox-Cunning Disease resembles cold damage in its manifestations: silent and sleepy, unable to close the eyes, restless lying and rising. Erosion affecting the throat is called "Huo" (bewilderment), erosion affecting the front and rear orifices (genitals and anus) is called "Hu" (fox). Patients having no desire for food, detesting the smell of food, face changing color — sometimes red, sometimes black, sometimes white. Erosion in the upper part leads to hoarse voice, and the original text recommends Gancao Xiexin Tang as the primary treatment; erosion in the lower part causes dry throat and is treated with Kushen Tang as external wash; erosion at the anus is treated by fumigation with Xionghuang (realgar).

Gancao Xiexin Tang
Ingredients: Four liang of prepared licorice (gancao), three liang of skullcap (huangqin), three liang of dried ginger, half a sheng of pinellia (banxia), one liang of coptis (huanglian), twelve red dates (da zao), split.
Usage: Boil with one dou of water to yield six sheng, strain, decoct further to three sheng, take one sheng warm, three times daily.
Kushen Tang
Ingredients: One jin of sophora flavescens root (kushen).
Usage: Boil with one dou of water to yield seven sheng, strain; use for fumigation and washing, three times daily.
Xionghuang San
Ingredients: One liang of realgar (xionghuang).
Usage: Grind into fine powder; place between two overlapping roof tiles, heat with fire to produce smoke, and fumigate the anus.
Additionally, patients with rapid pulse, no apparent fever, slight irritability, a desire only to lie down quietly, and sweating — within the first three to four days of illness, the eyes become red like those of a turtledove; after seven to eight days, the surrounding area of the eyes becomes darkened. If the patient can still eat, it indicates that pus has formed; the original text recommends Chidou Danggui San as the main treatment.
Yang Toxin: The face is red, with maculopapular patterns resembling brocade, sore throat, and spitting of pus and blood. The original text states it can be treated at five days, but is difficult to treat at seven days; treat with Shengma Biejia Tang.
(*Note: The original Chinese says "four sheng" of water; the translation here follows the original text of this document.)
*For Yang Toxin, the text uses "water four sheng"; for Yin Toxin, "water two sheng".
The core pathogenesis of Lily Disease is "one origin shared by a hundred vessels, collectively bringing on the disease," indicating that although the vessels of the body share a common root, the site of the disease spreads widely. Later scholars generally consider it related to yin deficiency with internal heat of the heart and lungs, malnourishment of the hundred vessels. Its symptoms are primarily mental-emotional confusion (shen zhi hu hu), behavioral disturbance (in eating, sleeping, walking), bitter mouth, reddish urine, and a faint rapid pulse, thus the treatment principle primarily strives toward nourishing yin and clearing heat, moistening and nourishing the heart and lungs, with special emphasis on avoiding mistaken use of sweating, vomiting, or purging methods that may impair fluids. Most out-of-original formulas use lily as the chief ingredient, and other ingredients (anemarrhena, talc, hematite, rehmannia) are selected based on the different complications arising from erroneous treatment, reflecting “treating based on presenting symptoms.” The final paragraph—“for those seen in yin, use yang methods to rescue; for those seen in yang, use yin methods to rescue”—is a reminder not to commit the error of "treating deficiency as excess and excess as deficiency," the core still being restoration of balance between yin and yang.
Fox-Cunning Disease presents with erosion in areas such as the throat, genitals, and anus; its mechanism is mostly associated with dampness-heat and noxious agents parasitism. Treatment combines internal regulation with external approaches: the internal Gancao Xiexin Tang regulates the middle and clears dampness-heat; external Kushen Tang wash and Xionghuang fumigation aim at local detoxification and drying dampness; Chidou Danggui San address the pattern of damp-heat obstruction with pus formation, embodying thoughts such as "pushed pus must be expelled, blood-aspect requires resolution."
Yin-Yang Toxin presents with pathoconditions of skin eruptions (macules/patch), throat pain, purulence and bleeding, systematic body pain etc., comprising conditions of externally contracted toxins entering the blood aspect (yin/yang stage condition/skin pathways in medical conceptual terms of outward acute febrile/internal exogenous disease). Yang-toxin determines heat toxin external dispersion direction; formulas use Shengma Biejia Tang with toxicity-eliminating and stasis‑blood muscle/dum and mild heating/dispersing, whereas Yin-tox pattern removes the warm-aromatic dry �成分 wine stal. remove, and includes only the more lightlyacting agents toned to �commander. “Hardened five‑day treatable; seven‑day difficult” more colloquial summarizing discourse originally describing “quick dis/slow difficulty with prolonged neglect,” merely principles learned of handling poisoning �proclinical� syndrome ancient practical heuristic considerations on taking an identified� perspective without placing� blunt-measuring modern-day scientific evaluation; though folk also means them as direct fixed values about outcomes nowadays - which themselves since there’s overlapping similar systemic illnesses �today should not be layered as medieval determinism but assessed as broad aphorisms urging timely response within acute-developments� patient� the time‑sensitive process applied.
