[discussion by famous experts] 1. In the compendium of Medical Sciences: "it is also a medicine for Promoting Yang and relieving Yin. Sanjiao and mingmenqi are suitable for the weak. According to Yang Shiying's Zhi Zhi Zhi Fang, the heart is the mother of the spleen. Eating is not only to harmonize the spleen, but also to make the fire produce soil. When the heart medicine is put into the spleen and stomach medicine, the common people can get it. Therefore, the ancients took medicine, more use Yizhi, soil Yihuo also. "

② According to the classic of Materia Medica, "yizhizi Ren, with its astringency, is used to treat the deficiency and leakage of spermatorrhea, and residual urine, which are also the syndrome of kidney qi not solid. Kidney is in charge of Qi, but deficiency can not. The spleen and kidney are deficient in Qi, and the two Zang organs are derelict of duty. The kidney can't accept and the spleen can't take. Therefore, the main body Qi floats up and the salivary filth overflows. If the Qi of the spleen and kidney is absorbed, the Qi will return to its original state and the salivary filth will descend. "

③ "Seeking truth from Materia Medica" says: "it can replenish intelligence, smell pungent and hot, work on dryness of the spleen and warming the stomach, and astringe the spleen and kidney qi, store and return to the source, so it is also called the agent of Tonifying the heart and life. If the stomach is cold and saliva is seen, it is used for taking. If the spleen is deficient and food is not seen, it is used for warming. If the kidney qi is not warm and urine is not shrinking, it is used for taking Suoquan pill. And husband heart kidney deficiency, and see the dream with collapse, then use this as secret essence solid gas. If Qi deficiency is caused by heat, and symptoms such as turbid collapse and dreaminess are found, it is not appropriate. Although it is similar to the condensed sand, it is also warming the stomach, but the condensed sand has the function of fast stagnation, so it has the power of cooling, so it is necessary to use the ear separately. "

④ Huiyue Yijing: "Yizhiren, whose nature is more than tonic, should be used as a tonic. If it is used alone, it will disperse Qi. "

⑤ "Materia medica justice" says: "wisdom is first found in the collection of Materia Medica, which is called warm and pungent, not to mention astringent, but the indications described by various schools are not warm and astringent. According to Yang Renzhai's zhizhifang, the ancients took medicine and used it to replenish wisdom and fire. This is a case of legislation for those who are disheartened due to spleen deficiency but do not think about food. The spleen soil likes warm but averse to cold, and likes dryness but averse to dampness. Cold dampness sleeps, then the health transportation ability is deficient, but does not think the valley, moreover the food is also tasteless, this only warm helps yang to be harmonious, but mediates the atmosphere, then can eat. Yizhi Xingpi Yiwei, solid also with Amomum villosum, cardamom and other consistent. Renzhai said that when he comes to benefiting the fire and making the earth, he will attach importance to the medicine of the Heart Sutra. He is still willing to go far and near, but he doesn't have to say it deliberately. Linhu also refers to the treatment of heart qi deficiency, dream discharge and red turbidity. It is based on the theory that the kidney Yang has no right and the slippery discharge can't help. Therefore, this method of warming and astringency can be used. However, the deficiency and cold syndrome of turbidity is rare. Shi Wan says that the cause of heat is yellow and dry. It can't be misused. Linhu is also called the Department of treating heat and heartbreak. The syndrome of hematemesis and haemorrhage is heat injury, and it is absurd to use this medicine of great heat instead. "
