To talk about Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, in fact, the earliest originated from the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic", in the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" recorded 13 formulas, but in the true sense can be called a systematic and complete Fang Shu, but also count the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" written by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, even if later generations of doctors sorted it into two classics, "On Typhoid Fever" and "Golden Necessity", but still can not hide the fact that "Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" is the "ancestor of the Fang Shu". People generally like to call the first prescription that appears in the book the first party.
The first prescription that appears in the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" is called "soup liquid mash", in modern terms, this formula is actually a dish, which can be eaten as a snack, and the first formula that appears in the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" is Guizhi soup, which is praised by later generations of physicians as "the crown of the group" and "the first party of typhoid fever". With the continuous development and integration of Jingfang and Shifang, by the Qing Dynasty, the famous doctor Wang Ang summarized the famous prescriptions of ancient and modern famous doctors and creatively compiled the book "Tangtou Song Tips" so that future generations of students can quickly learn Chinese medicine prescriptions.
So, what is the formula for the first appearance of "Soup Song Recipe"? That is the famous representative of the time party - the four gentlemen soup. However, the four gentlemen's soup in the "Soup Song Recipe" is not just a prescription, but a combination of prescriptions, and the original words are like this, "The four gentlemen's soup is neutral and righteous, the ginseng technique is poria licorice ratio, the benefit is xia Chen's name Liujun, and the expectorant is toned and replenishes qi and yang. In addition to the half-summer name, or add fragrant sand stomach cold. "There are four formulas hidden in a song recipe, that is, four gentlemen soup, six gentlemen soup, different gongsan, and fragrant sand six gentlemen soup.
The wonderful thing is that the different gongsan, the six gentlemen soup, and the fragrant sand six gentlemen soup evolved from the four gentlemen soup are actually beneficial to the joint effect of qi and spleen. So, how did these four parties come about, we must first make up for it. The soup of the four gentlemen is from the Song Dynasty "Taiping Huimin Combined Agent Bureau Fang", the different gongs are scattered from the "Pediatric Medicine Certificate Straight Recipe" by Qian Yi, a famous doctor and the originator of pediatrics in the Song Dynasty, the six gentlemen soup is from the "Medical Orthodox Biography" of the Ming Dynasty, and the six gentlemen soup of Xiangsha is from the "Ancient and Modern Famous Doctors' Prescription".
But in fact, the provenance of the Six Gentlemen Soup and the Fragrant Sand Six Gentlemen Soup is controversial, the "birth age" of the Six Gentlemen Soup should not be later than the Yuan Dynasty, and the "birth age" of the Fragrant Sand Six Gentlemen Soup should be no later than the Ming Dynasty.
Why does "Soup Song Recipe" put the combination of four gentlemen's soup in the first place? This is related to the fact that the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic says that people are "based on stomach qi". The human spleen and stomach are in the middle of the focus, in charge of the human body's water valley, water metabolism, if the spleen and stomach are not harmonious, the spleen and stomach are weak, naturally there will be a lot of diseases.
So, did the famous doctors of the Qing Dynasty put the four gentlemen's soup combination in the first appearance, just because the spleen and stomach were "the foundation of the day after tomorrow"? Obviously not, the four flavors of Chinese medicine used in the four gentlemen's soup are all chinese medicines with gentle medicinal properties, warm but not dry, and tonic but not severe, which can be called the gentlemen in the field of Chinese medicine.
So, what is the magic of each of the four gentlemen's soup and the other three recipes that evolved from the four gentlemen's soup? The four gentlemen's soup is mainly suitable for spleen and stomach qi deficiency evidence, and the compatibility of the other three formulas has a common feature, that is, the chinese medicine of tonic qi and the traditional Chinese medicine of gasification phlegm are compatible with each other, so that the process of replenishing qi is very smooth, and there will be no stagnation.
However, the difference is that the heterogeneous dispersion adds tangerine peel, which has the effect of gasification stagnation, which is more suitable for the syndrome of spleen and stomach qi deficiency and gas stagnation;
Liu Junzi Tang added half a summer and tangerine peel, which has the effect of dryness and wetness of the stomach, which is more suitable for the symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency and phlegm wetness;
The fragrant sand six gentlemen soup, with the addition of half summer, tangerine peel, wood fragrance and sand kernels, enhances the effect of qi and stomach, gasification phlegm, more suitable for spleen and stomach qi deficiency and cold and wet stagnation in the symptoms.
It can be seen that the "Tang tou Song Recipe" has a unique significance in taking the four gentlemen's soup as the first party in the whole book. The hidden different gongsan in the soup of the four gentlemen, the soup of the six gentlemen and the soup of the six gentlemen of the fragrant sand are all classic recipes loved by later generations of doctors, and in the clinic, if the dialectic is accurate, it will be able to play a wonderful role like a drum.
