Golden Chamber – Professor Qin Bowei’s concise explanation of the application of formulas from the Golden Chamber is truly clear and straightforward. I have organized it slightly for everyone to review, which may be useful.

1. Ren Shen Tang (Ginseng Decoction) – (Ren Shen, Bai Jiang, Zhi Gan Cao): This is the Li Zhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) with Pao Jiang (prepared ginger) replaced by Gan Jiang (dried ginger). The use of fresh ginger is to disperse the cold, while Pao Jiang retains warmth without dispersing, and Gan Jiang is warmer with less dispersing effect.

2. Xiao Ban Xia Tang (Minor Pinellia Decoction) – (Sheng Jiang 24g, Ban Xia 15g): This is a method to harmonize the stomach and stop vomiting, applicable for vomiting caused by phlegm and dampness in the stomach.

3. Ban Xia Gan Jiang San (Pinellia and Dried Ginger Powder) – Treats cold in the stomach with foamy saliva. The medication is the same as Xiao Ban Xia Tang, as Sheng Jiang disperses, while Gan Jiang warms the middle. The main symptoms are similar to Wu Zhu Yu Tang (Evodia Decoction), but the latter is for cold evil with concurrent stomach deficiency, while this is purely cold, hence no supplementary tonics are used.

4. Xiao Ban Xia Tang plus Fu Ling Tang – This has a diuretic effect.

“If there is thirst after vomiting, it is due to the presence of phlegm in the heart. Xiao Ban Xia Tang is the main treatment. // If there is sudden vomiting, fullness in the heart, and water in the diaphragm, dizziness and palpitations, Xiao Ban Xia plus Fu Ling Tang is the main treatment. // If thirst precedes vomiting, it indicates water retention in the heart, which belongs to phlegm, Xiao Ban Xia plus Fu Ling Tang is the main treatment.”

5. Da Ban Xia Tang (Major Pinellia Decoction) – (Ban Xia 15g, Ren Shen 9g, Bai Mi 30g): This is a method to tonify the middle and stop vomiting. The difference from Xiao Ban Xia Tang is that the latter has a solid evil, hence uses pungent dispersing herbs; this is for stomach deficiency, hence uses sweet herbs to harmonize.

6. Gan Jiang Ren Shen Ban Xia Wan (Dried Ginger, Ginseng, and Pinellia Pill): Suitable for vomiting due to cold drinks, not specifically for pregnancy-related nausea.

7. Da Huang Gan Cao Tang (Rhubarb and Licorice Decoction) – (Da Huang 12g, Gan Cao 3g): This is a method to purge fire and stop vomiting, differing from Da Ban Xia Tang in terms of deficiency and excess, cold and heat. “For those who vomit immediately after eating, Da Huang Gan Cao Tang is the main treatment.”

8. Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Blue Dragon Decoction) – (Jiang, Wu Wei Zi, Bai Shao, Gan Cao, Xiao Feng, Ban Xia): This is the main formula for treating exterior evil with water qi, hence most suitable for cough and wheezing caused by external cold.

9. Xiao Qing Long plus Shi Gao Tang – This warms and transforms water and phlegm while also treating irritability, but ultimately the phlegm is heavier than the heat. This is the opposite of Yue Bi plus Ban Xia Tang, where heat is heavier than phlegm.

10. Yue Bi Tang (Yue Bi Decoction) – (Ma Huang 18g, Shi Gao 24g, Gan Cao 6g, Sheng Jiang 9g, Da Zao 5g) – This is a method to release the exterior with pungent cold herbs.

11. Yue Bi plus Ban Xia Tang – Suitable for phlegm-heat obstruction internally; Ma Huang can open the lungs, not necessarily for inducing sweating.

12. Yue Bi plus Shu Tang – This is a method to disperse the exterior and promote diuresis.

13. She Gan Ma Huang Tang – (She Gan, Ma Huang, Xi Xin, Ban Xia, Zi Wan, Dong Hua, Ban Xia, Wu Wei Zi, Sheng Jiang, Da Zao) – This is a method to disperse and drain, capable of warming and transforming cold phlegm, also applicable for general asthma symptoms.

14. Hou Po Ma Huang Tang – (Hou Po, Ma Huang, Xing Ren, Ban Xia, Gan Jiang, Xi Xin, Wu Wei Zi, Xiao Mai, Shi Gao) – This is a method to treat phlegm and dampness.

15. Da Qing Long Tang (Major Blue Dragon Decoction) – This is based on Ma Huang Tang with Shi Gao added, suitable for exterior evil with internal heat symptoms.

“For those with excess water, they should sweat; Da Qing Long Tang is the main treatment, and Xiao Qing Long Tang is also the main treatment.”

16. Da Jian Zhong Tang (Major Build the Middle Decoction) – (Shu Jiao, Gan Jiang, Ren Shen): This warms the middle and disperses cold, differing from Xiao Jian Zhong Tang in urgency.

17. Yin Chen Hao Tang (Artemisia Scoparia Decoction) – (Yin Chen, Zhi Zi, Da Huang): This is the main formula for jaundice.

18. Yin Chen Wu Ling San – Treats jaundice by promoting urination; for severe internal heat, use Zhi Zi Bai Pi Tang. For milder heat, use this formula.

19. Da Huang Niao Shi Tang – (Da Huang 12g, Huang Bai 12g, Niao Shi 12g, Zhi Zi 9g) – Treats jaundice with internal excess, compared to Yin Chen Hao Tang, this is more potent.

20. Zhi Zi Da Huang Tang – (Zhi Zi 9g, Da Huang 3g, Zhi Shi 9g, Dou Chi 12g) – “For wine jaundice, with fullness in the heart, or pain, Zhi Zi Da Huang Tang is the main treatment.”

21. Zhi Zi Chi Tang – Treats vexation in the chest; later generations changed to Jiao Shan Zhi, as a general treatment for clearing and dispersing upper heat.

22. Yi Jiao Li Huang Wan – (Fang Ji, Jiao Mu, Ting Li, Da Huang) – This expels water from the intestines, allowing it to be eliminated through urination.

23. Sheng Ma Bie Jia Tang – (Sheng Ma, Bie Jia, Cao, Xiong Huang, Shu Jiao) – This has the effect of expelling evil from the blood and releasing it externally.

24. Tian Xiong San – (Tian Xiong 9g, Bai Zhu 24g, Gui Zhi 18g, Long Gu 9g) – Treats nocturnal emissions due to Yang deficiency.

25. Mu Fang Yi Tang – (Mu Fang Yi, Shi Gao, Gui Zhi, Ren Shen) – This promotes water and disperses masses, as the body is weak with hidden heat, hence uses Ren Shen and Shi Gao as assistants.

26. Mu Fang Yi Qu Shi Gao plus Fu Ling Mang Xiao Tang – This has a mild purgative and softening effect.

“If there is water retention in the diaphragm, causing wheezing and fullness, with a firm and hard feeling in the heart, dark complexion, and a tight pulse, if this has lasted for several days, and the physician has induced vomiting and purging without improvement, Mu Fang Yi Tang is the main treatment. If the patient is deficient, they will recover; if they are full, they will relapse in three days. For those who do not recover, Mu Fang Yi Tang minus Shi Gao plus Fu Ling Mang Xiao Tang is the main treatment.”

27. Gan Cao Gan Jiang Tang – (Gan Cao 4g, Gan Jiang 2g) – This is a method to warm and nourish the lungs and stomach. “If the patient has phlegm and does not cough, they will not be thirsty, but will have frequent urination. This is because the deficiency cannot control the lower. This indicates cold in the lungs, with dizziness and excessive salivation; Gan Cao Gan Jiang Tang is used to warm it. If after taking the decoction they feel thirsty, advise them to drink.”

28. Gan Cao Fu Zi Tang – (Gan Cao 6g, Fu Zi 2 pieces, Bai Zhu 6g, Gui 12g) – This expels wind and dampness, harmonizing the nutrient and defensive qi, with a mutual effect of restraining and dispersing. “If wind and dampness attack, causing joint pain, difficulty in bending and stretching, severe pain upon approach, sweating, shortness of breath, and difficulty urinating, or mild swelling, Gan Cao Fu Zi Tang is the main treatment.”

29. Gan Cao Ma Huang Tang – (Gan Cao 2g, Ma Huang 4g) – This is used for skin water retention; for exterior deficiency, use Fang Ji Fu Ling Tang; for exterior excess with heat, use Yue Bi plus Shu Tang; for exterior cold with dampness, use Ma Huang plus Shu Tang; for exterior excess without heat, use this formula, aimed at inducing sweating and eliminating dampness.

30. Gan Cao Xie Xin Tang – This is for damp-heat in the stomach, with weak stomach qi, using this pungent, bitter, sweet, and mild combination, not limited to Hu Huo disease.

31. Gan Mai Da Zao Tang – (Gan 9g, Mai 30g, Da Zao 10g) – This nourishes the stomach and moistens dryness, with no irritating effects, most suitable for weak and sensitive patients.

32. Ban Xia Ma Huang Wan – This treats palpitations, actually treating water retention internally, stronger than Xiao Ban Xia plus Fu Ling Tang for treating fullness in the heart, likely because the former has vomiting, while this has wheezing, hence the same method of transforming phlegm but different medications.

33. Bai Zhu San (Bai Zhu, Xiong, Shu Li) – This is a warming formula, used by Zhang Zhongjing for nourishing the fetus, contrasting with Dang Gui San, one warming and one clearing; do not use for those without cold dampness.

34. Dang Gui San (Dang Gui 2g, Bai Zhu 1g, Xiong 2g, Shao 2g, Qin 2g) – This is a method to nourish blood and clear heat. Although Zhang Zhongjing said it can be taken during pregnancy, later generations have used Huang Qin and Bai Zhu as sacred medicines for stabilizing pregnancy, but it is not suitable for those with deficiency and cold.

35. Dang Gui Sheng Jiang Yang Rou Tang – Treats blood deficiency with cold. Used for cold hernia, also for postpartum abdominal pain, due to the same reason.

36. Dang Gui Shao Yao San (Dang Gui 9g, Shao Yao 50g, Xiong 24g, Bai Zhu 12g, Ling 12g, Xie 24g) – This harmonizes the liver and strengthens the spleen, later resembling the Xiao Yao San formula.

37. Dang Gui Bei Mu Ku Shen Wan – This treats constipation during pregnancy, where purgatives cannot be used.

38. Bai He Zhi Mu Tang – (Bai He 30g, Zhi Mu 9g) – This is a clearing and moistening formula, treating Bai He disease with excessive sweating causing dryness.

39. Bai He Di Huang Tang – (Bai He 30g, Di Huang 60g) – This clears heat and nourishes blood, serving as the main formula for Bai He disease.

40. Bai He Hua Shi San – This treats severe internal heat in Bai He disease, promoting urination, similar in intention to Liu He Jian Liu Yi San.

41. Bai He Ji Zi Huang Tang – This emphasizes calming the interior and harmonizing.

42. Hua Shi Dai Zhe Tang – (Hua Shi 9g, Dai Zhe 9g, Bai He 30g) – This treats Bai He disease with excessive purging, having a guiding effect.

43. Chi Xiao Dou Dang Gui San – (Chi Xiao Dou 30g, Dang Gui 9g) – Used by Zhang Zhongjing for Hu Huo disease, also for near-blood symptoms, aimed at clearing damp-heat from the large intestine, with a purging effect.

44. Fang Ji Di Huang Tang – (Fang Ji 3g, Fang Feng 9g, Sheng Di 60g, Gui Zhi 9g, Gan Cao 3g) – Xu Ling Tai states, “This formula has light herbs, but Sheng Di is heavy, thus treating wind in the blood.”

45. Fang Ji Huang Qi Tang – (Bai Zhu, Gan, Jiang, Zao) – This treats water dampness on the surface, with weak defensive qi. “For wind-dampness, with floating pulse and heavy body, sweating and aversion to wind, Fang Ji Huang Qi Tang is the main treatment.”

46. Fang Ji Fu Ling Tang – (Fang Ji, Bai Qi, Ling Zhi, Cao) – This also assists the defensive yang in promoting water, stronger than Fang Ji Huang Qi Tang.

47. Fu Zi Jing Mi Tang – (Fu Zi 9g, Ban Xia 9g, Gan Cao 3g, Da Zao 3g, Jing Mi 15g) – This treats abdominal pain due to deficiency and cold; Wang Xu Gao believes that adding Fu Zi to spleen and stomach herbs has the power to penetrate up and down. It can disperse cold and stop vomiting above, and warm the meridians and settle pain below. “For cold qi in the abdomen, with thunder-like pain, chest and flank fullness, vomiting, Fu Zi Jing Mi Tang is the main treatment.”

48. Da Cheng Qi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) – (Da Huang, Hou Po, Zhi Shi, Mang Xiao) – This is the main formula for excess conditions in the stomach, also used in the Golden Chamber for food stagnation and diarrhea due to food retention. It is also used for spasms, purging excess heat while preserving body fluids. This is a method of cutting off the root, not truly calming spasms.

49. Xiao Cheng Qi Tang (Minor Order the Qi Decoction) – This treats excess conditions in the stomach. For those with fullness, dryness, and solid excess, use Da Cheng Qi Tang; if not complete, use this formula.

50. Hou Po San Wu Tang (Da Huang, Hou Po, Zhi Shi) – This is a variation of Xiao Cheng Qi Tang, with different dosages. The purpose of ordering the qi is to clear excess, hence the heavy use of Da Huang; this is for moving qi, hence the heavy use of Zhi Po. “For pain and obstruction, Hou Po San Wu Tang is the main treatment.”

51. Hou Po Da Huang Tang (Da Huang, Hou Po, Zhi Shi) – This is also a variation of Xiao Cheng Qi Tang, aimed at moving qi and eliminating dampness, applicable only for excess conditions in the stomach. “For water retention and fullness in the chest, Hou Po Da Huang Tang is the main treatment.”

52. Ting Li Da Zao Tang – This treats water retention that cannot be relieved; Ting Li Da Zao Tang is the main treatment.

54. Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang – This treats phlegm and dampness, using warm herbs to harmonize. This formula is indeed the main formula, but its strength is mild, suitable only for light symptoms or for prevention and post-illness recovery. “For phlegm and dampness in the heart, with fullness in the chest and flanks, dizziness, Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang is the main treatment.”

55. Ling Gui Gan Jiang Tang –

56. Ling Gui Gan Zao Tang – This treats cold water qi rising, differing from Gui Zhi plus Gui Tang, which emphasizes exterior cold symptoms. “After sweating, if there is palpitations below the navel, with a desire to run, Ling Gui Gan Zao Tang is the main treatment.”

57. Ben Tun Tang (Dang, Xiong, Xia, Ge, Gan, Shao, Jiang, Li Gen Pi) – This disperses cold and heat, lowering rebellious qi. The difference from treating Yang deficiency with cold qi rising is that one emphasizes the liver, while the other emphasizes the kidney. The two are completely different. “For rebellious qi rising to the chest, with abdominal pain, alternating cold and heat, Ben Tun Tang is the main treatment.”

58. Ling Gui Wei Gan Tang – This focuses on stopping rebellious qi. “If the Blue Dragon Decoction is taken, with excessive salivation and dryness of the mouth, a deep pulse at the inch, a weak pulse at the cubit, hands and feet cold, qi rising from the lower abdomen to the chest and throat, hands and feet numb, with a flushed face, and intermittent urination, use Ling Gui Wei Tang to treat the qi rising.”

59. Ling Gan Wu Wei Jiang Xin Tang – This warms and transforms phlegm, used for those without external symptoms; this is stronger than Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang. “If the qi rises, but coughs, with fullness in the chest, use Ling Gui Wei Tang minus Gui, adding Gan Jiang and Xi Xin.”

60. Ling Gan Wu Wei Jiang Xin plus Ban Xia Xing Ren Tang – “If the cough stops, but thirst increases, and the qi rises again, use Xi Xin and Gan Jiang as warming herbs. If after taking it, they feel thirsty, it indicates phlegm retention. If there is phlegm retention, it should be expelled; if there is vomiting, it should be treated with Ban Xia to eliminate the water. If water retention causes vomiting, and the person is swollen, add Xing Ren to treat it.”

61. Fu Ling Ze Xie Tang – (Fu Ling 16g, Gui 4g, Bai Zhu 9g, Gan 4g, Jiang 8g, Ze 8g) – This is similar to Wu Ling San, with the main symptom being vomiting. Wu Ling focuses on promoting urination, while this focuses on vomiting. “If the stomach reacts, with vomiting and thirst, Fu Ling Ze Xie Tang is the main treatment.”

62. Ze Xie Tang – “If there is water retention in the heart, causing dizziness, Ze Xie Tang is the main treatment.”

64. Zhi Zhu Tang (Zhi Shi, Bai Zhu) – This strengthens the middle and transforms dampness. Later commonly used for weak spleen and stomach, with digestive issues, as a method of both supplementing and purging. “If there is hardness in the heart, as large as a plate, and round like a spinning plate, caused by water retention, Zhi Zhu Tang is the main treatment.”

65. Gua Lou Gui Zhi Tang – This is Gui Zhi Tang with Gua Lou added, suitable for exterior heat not resolving, with fluid loss causing muscle and sinew nourishment issues, presenting as spasms, not the main formula for spasms.

66. Gua Lou Qu Mai Tang – (Gua Lou Gen 6g, Qu Mai 3g, Shan Yao 9g, Fu Ling 9g, Fu Zi 6g) – This generates fluids and promotes urination, with Fu Zi added to assist in qi transformation.

70. Zhi Shi Xie Bai Gui Zhi Tang – (Zhi Shi, Xie Bai, Gui Zhi, Hou Po, Gua Lou) – This disperses and opens the yang, also regulating the qi in the chest and abdomen. Zhang Zhongjing often uses Zhi Shi for chest fullness and Hou Po for abdominal fullness. “For chest obstruction with fullness in the heart, with qi stagnation in the chest, Zhi Shi Xie Bai Gui Zhi Tang is the main treatment; Ren Shen Tang is also the main treatment.”

71. Fu Ling Xing Ren Gan Cao Tang – (Fu Ling 9g, Xing Ren 9g, Gan Cao 3g) – This is a method to open the lungs and broaden the chest, also promoting diuresis and transforming phlegm. “For chest obstruction, with qi stagnation, shortness of breath, Fu Ling Xing Ren Gan Cao Tang is the main treatment; Ju Zhi Jiang Tang is also the main treatment.”

83. Gui Zhi minus Shao plus Ma Fu Xin Tang – This treats the same disease with Ma 4, Fu 9, Xi Xin 3, combining Gui Zhi minus Shao Tang to invigorate the defensive yang, primarily dispersing cold evil. “In the qi level, with hardness in the heart, as large as a plate, and round like a spinning cup, caused by water retention, Gui Zhi minus Shao plus Ma Fu Xin Tang is the main treatment.”

This disease is caused by sweating in the wind, or prolonged exposure to cold.”
