【原文】

故张氏云：“《内经》谓肝主疏泄，故元气之上脱，即由肝之疏泄也。惟可重用萸肉以酸敛直趋肝脏，防其疏泄，藉以杜塞元气上脱之路，则元气可不上脱。《内经》谓肝行肾之气，故元气之下脱亦由于肝，因肝能为肾行其气，即能泻元气自下而出，所以元气下脱亦可重用山萸肉”。张氏在来复汤方解中又云：“故人虚极者，其肝风必先动，肝风动，即元气欲脱之兆也。又肝与胆脏腑相依，胆为少阳，有病主寒热往来；肝为厥阴，虚极亦为寒热往来，为有寒热，故多出汗”。

【译文】

So MR．Zhang （refers to Zhang Xichun）said：＂Huangdi＇s Canon of Medicine holds that the liver governs the free flow of qi，so the depletion of primordial qi from the upper is caused by the liver＇s dysfunction．Shanzhuyu is sour in taste and astringent in nature，therefore，to treat this syndrome，you can use lots of shanzhuyu to stop the liver qi＇s dispersion，and block the pathway of depletion of the primordial qi．

Huangdi＇s Canon of Medicine also told that the liver regulates the activity of the kidney qi．（The mechanism is that

the liver controls conveyance and dispersion，so it can regulate the activity of the whole body＇s qi，including the kidney＇s．）Hence the hyperactivity of the liver qi can cause depletion of primordial qi from the lower．For the same pathogenesis，the therapeutic method is to use shanzhuyu．＂

In the prescription analysis of Laifu decoction，MR．Zhang said：＂Yin deficiency must leads to syndrome of liver wind stirring up internally，at the same time，primordial qi deserts with the body fluid（It＇s because body fluid is a carrier of qi）．Moreover，the liver meridian connects with the gallbladder，and they are internally and externally related．The gallbladder （meridian）belongs to shaoyang while the liver （meridian）belongs to jueyin（in TCM，both shaoyang and jueyin locate in half-exterior and half-interior），their dysfunction must cause alternate attacks of chill and fever，as well as hyperhidrosis．＂
