보행결輔行訣의 내용은 탕액경湯液經에서 왔고, 보행결의 이론은 황제내경에 기반하고 있으므로, 탕액경은 황제내경과 무관하다고 할 수 없다.
陶弘景:證明張仲景學過《內經》
필자: 肖相如頻道(ID:xiaoxiangru0011),
有人認為,張仲景的學術是經方體系,是源於《神農本草經》和《湯液經》,而與《內經》無關;
並認為張仲景的學術與《內經》有關的證據隻有其原序中提到的“撰用《素問》、《九卷》”的文字,而在《傷寒論》中從未提到過《內經》的文句。
昨天我從仲景《傷寒論》的診療理論證偽瞭這個命題,今天再從《輔行訣臟腑用藥法要》的角度來看看仲景是否學習過《內經》。
一
《輔行訣臟腑用藥法要》(簡稱《輔行訣》)為南朝陶弘景所著,據其所載:“商有聖相伊尹,撰《湯液經法》三(十二卷),為方亦三百六十首。
上品上藥,為服食補益方者,百二十首;中品中藥,為療疾祛邪之方,亦百二十首;下品毒藥,為殺蟲辟邪癰疽等方,亦百二十首。
凡共三百六十首也。實萬代醫家之規范,蒼生護命之大寶也。今檢錄常情需用者六十首,備山中預防災疾用耳”。
晉皇甫謐《甲乙經序》謂:“伊尹以亞聖之才,撰用《神農本草》以為《湯液》……仲景論廣《伊尹湯液》為十數卷,用之多驗。近代太醫令王叔和撰次仲景遺論甚精,皆可施用”。
宋林億《傷寒論序》雲:“夫《傷寒論》蓋祖述大聖人之意,諸家莫其倫擬,故晉皇甫謐序甲乙經雲:伊尹以元聖之才,撰用《神農本草》以為《湯液》,漢張仲景論廣《伊尹湯液》為十數卷,用之多驗。
近代太醫令王叔和撰次仲景遺論甚精,皆可施用。是仲景本伊尹之法,伊尹本神農之經,得不謂祖述大聖人之意乎?”
若果如上述,則其正確的關系應為,《湯液經》源於《神農本草經》,《傷寒論》和《輔行訣》均源於《湯液經》。
二
現在《湯液經》已不可得見,但《傷寒論》和《輔行訣》已經被整理出來瞭,《傷寒論》和《輔行訣》秉承的應該是《湯液經》的學術體系。
如果這一前提成立,則從《傷寒論》和《輔行訣》的實際內容可以判斷其學術體系和《內經》是否有關。
由於《傷寒論》是中醫必讀必學的經典,流傳也很廣泛,大家可以自己去判斷其與《內經》在學術上的關系,也可以參考我昨日推送的文章(有人說:張仲景沒有學過《內經》)。
下面來看看《輔行訣》的內容和《內經》的關系。
三
《輔行訣臟腑用藥法要》辨肝臟病證文並方
肝虛則恐,實則怒。
肝病者,必兩脅下痛,痛引少腹。虛則目(盳盳)無所見,耳有所聞,心澹澹然如人將捕之。氣逆則耳聾,頰腫。治之取厥陰、少陽血者。
邪在肝,則兩脅中痛,中寒,惡血在內,則胻善瘛,節時腫。取之行間以引脅下,補三裡以溫胃中,取耳間青脈以除其瘛。
陶雲:肝德在散,故經雲:以辛補之,酸瀉之。肝苦急,急食甘以緩之。適其姓而衰之也。
《黃帝內經》
《黃帝內經·靈樞·本神第八》:
肝藏血,血舍魂,肝氣虛則恐,實則怒。
《黃帝內經·素問·藏氣法時論篇第二十二》:
肝主春,足厥陰少陽主治。其日甲乙。肝苦急,急食甘以緩之。
肝欲散,急食辛以散之,用辛補之,酸瀉之。
肝病者,兩脅下痛引少腹,令人善怒。虛則目(盳盳)無所見,耳無所聞,善恐,如人將補之。取其經厥陰與少陽,氣逆則頭痛。耳聾不聰、頰腫、取血者。
《黃帝內經·靈樞·五邪第二十》:
邪在肝,則兩脅中痛,寒中,惡血在內,行善掣節,時腳腫。取之行間,以引脅下,補三裡以溫胃中,取血脈以散惡血;取耳間青脈,以去其掣。
四
從以上所列舉的《輔行訣》中“辨肝臟病證文並方”的內容來看,它們基本上是來自《內經》的,其他臟的“病證文並方”的內容不在此贅述瞭,大家看後會發現結果亦是如此。
既然《輔行訣》的內容取自《湯液經》,《輔行訣》的理論內容又基本上源於《內經》,那《湯液經》就不可能與《內經》無關。
眾醫家均謂仲景本伊尹之法,那麼《傷寒論》當然也就不可能與《內經》無關瞭

탕액경은 상한론의 기초를 놓았다
《湯液經法》奠定《傷寒論》基礎
來源:中國中醫藥報 作者:錢超塵 北京中醫藥大學
《漢書•藝文志•經方類》曰:“《湯液經法》三十二卷。”據傳作者為商之伊尹,故又名《伊尹湯液》。《湯液經法》梁•陶弘景後失傳,是以《隋書經籍志》未加著錄。
皇甫謐《針灸甲乙經序》雲:“仲景論廣《伊尹湯液》為十數卷,用之多驗。”北宋校正醫書局林億《傷寒論序》亦稱《傷寒論》源于《湯液經法》:“夫《傷寒論》 蓋祖述大聖人之意,諸家莫其倫擬。故晉•皇甫謐序《針灸甲乙經》雲:伊尹以元聖之才,撰用《神農本草》以為《湯液》,漢•張仲景論廣《湯液》為十數卷,用 之多驗。近代太醫令王叔和撰次仲景遺論甚精,皆可施用。是仲景本伊尹之法,伊尹本神農之經,得不謂祖述大聖人之意乎?”
北宋校正醫書局于治平二年(西元1065)將《傷寒論》雕版刊行,自此《傷寒論》傳本歧出局面結束,醫家皆以宋本為定本。
北 宋治平二年本為大字本,元佑三年(西元1088)刊刻者為小字本。大字本、小字本無注,不便醫家使用,流傳日稀,至明幾成絕版。明萬曆二十七年(西元 1599)江蘇常熟著名藏書家趙開美偶得北宋小字本《傷寒論》而翻刻之,逼真原貌,後世稱趙開美翻刻本為“宋本傷寒論”。趙開美本刊行後,所據之底本旋即 亡佚。
趙開美翻刻本我國僅存五部,筆者皆目睹之,手撫之:中國中醫科學院圖書館一部、臺灣故宮博物院圖書館一部、瀋陽中國醫科大學圖書館一部、上海中醫藥大學圖書館一部、上海圖書館一部。真乃書林之奇珍,醫家之重寶也。
趙 開美本《傷寒論》每卷首頁皆題“漢•張仲景述”。南宋•趙希弁《郡齋讀書後志》卷二雲:“仲景《傷寒論》十卷,漢•張仲景述”。明代著名藏書家及刻書家毛 氏《汲古閣毛氏藏書目錄》亦雲:“仲景《傷寒論》十卷,漢•張仲景述”。“述”者,謂遵循舊說而不別立新義。《論語•學而》:“述而不作,信而好古。” 《墨子•非儒篇》“述而不作”作“循而不作”。《說文》:“述,循也”,謂沿循往軌也。則“張仲景述”者,謂仲景遵行舊說而為《傷寒論》也。張仲景為時之 大醫,當有治驗融於《傷寒論》中,然著作主體為循先賢之舊軌、錄前人之成方而為書。
仲景依《湯液經法》而為書,亦見梁•陶弘景《輔行訣五臟用藥法要》(簡稱“輔行訣”)。《輔行訣》雲:
商有聖相伊尹,撰《湯液經法》三□,為方亦三百六十首。上品上藥,為服食補益方者百二十首;中品中藥,為療疾祛邪之方,亦百二十首;下品毒藥,為殺蟲辟邪癰疽等方,亦百二十首。凡共三百六十首也。實萬代醫家之規範,蒼生護命之大寶也。
接著又說,漢末魏晉六朝醫家皆以《湯液經法》為至寶,依為軌範,並有發展:
漢晉以還,諸名醫輩:張機、衛汛、華元化、吳普、皇甫玄晏、葛稚川、范將軍等,皆當代名賢,咸師式此《湯液經法》,湣救疾苦,造福含靈。其間增減,雖各擅其異,或致新效,似亂舊經,而其旨趣,仍方圓之於規矩也。
《輔行訣》指出,仲景師式《湯液經法》撰寫《傷寒論》一部,這就為皇甫謐《針灸甲乙經序》、林億《傷寒論》序稱仲景依《湯液經法》而為書提供了可信資料。
《輔行訣》又雲:
外感天行,經方之治,有二旦、六神、大小等湯。昔南陽張機,依此諸方,撰為《傷寒論》一部,療治明悉,後學鹹尊奉之。山林僻居,倉卒難防,外感之疾,日數傳變,生死往往在三五日間,豈可疏乎?若能深明此數方者,則庶無蹈險之虞也。今亦錄而識之。
張仲景《傷寒論自序》亦雲:“勤求古訓,博采眾方”,其勤求博采者為《湯液經法》。
《湯液經法》32卷成書於西漢,就13方觀之,我國方劑學在西漢已經進入成熟階段。西漢前期道家思想頗受重視(見司馬談《論六家要旨》),因而方劑名稱亦受到道家思想影響。東漢末社會思潮發生重大變化,影響到方劑名稱亦有改變。《輔行訣》對此有說:
陽 旦者,升陽之方,以黃芪為主;陰旦者,扶陰之方,以柴胡為主;青龍者,宣發之方,以麻黃為主;白虎者,收重之方,以石膏為主;朱鳥者,清滋之方,以雞子黃 為主;玄武者,溫滲之方,以附子為主。此六方者,為六合之正精,升降陰陽,交互金木,既濟水火,乃神明之劑也。張機撰《傷寒論》,避道家之稱,故其方皆為 正名也,但以某藥為名,以推主為識耳。
張仲景“以某藥為名,以推主為識”,改變西漢方劑名稱之道家色彩,是方劑學一次重大變革。
最後的結論是:《傷寒論》以《湯液經法》為基礎而成書。
《輔行訣》原藏敦煌藏經洞,後為河北省威縣張渥南購得,傳于嫡孫張大昌,“文化大革命”中被毀。《輔行訣》抄本已出版,見張大昌、錢超塵主編之《輔行訣五臟用藥法要傳承集》。

Buddhist Economics: How to Start Prioritizing People Over Products and Creativity Over Consumption
“Work and leisure are complementary parts of the same living process and cannot be separated without destroying the joy of work and the bliss of leisure.”
By Maria Popova
Much has been said about the difference between money and wealth and how we, as individuals, can make more of the latter, but the divergence between the two is arguably even more important the larger scale of nations and the global economy. What does it really mean to create wealth for people — for humanity — as opposed to money for governments and corporations?
That’s precisely what the influential German-born British economist, statistician, Rhodes Scholar, and economic theorist E. F. Schumacher explores in his seminal 1973 book Small Is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered (public library) — a magnificent collection of essays at the intersection of economics, ethics, and environmental awareness, which earned Schumacher the prestigious Prix Européen de l’Essai Charles Veillon award and was deemed by The Times Literary Supplement one of the 100 most important books published since WWII. Sharing an ideological kinship with such influential minds as Tolstoy and Gandhi, Schumacher’s is a masterwork of intelligent counterculture, applying history’s deepest, most timeless wisdom to the most pressing issues of modern life in an effort to educate, elevate and enlighten.
One of the most compelling essays in the book, titled “Buddhist Economics,” applies spiritual principles and moral purpose to the question of wealth. Writing around the same time that Alan Watts considered the subject, Schumacher begins:
“Right Livelihood” is one of the requirements of the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path. It is clear, therefore, that there must be such a thing as Buddhist economics.
[…]
Spiritual health and material well-being are not enemies: they are natural allies.
Traditional Western economics, Schumacher argues, is bedeviled by a self-righteousness of sorts that blinds us to this fact — a fundamental fallacy that considers “goods as more important than people and consumption as more important than creative activity.” He writes:
Economists themselves, like most specialists, normally suffer from a kind of metaphysical blindness, assuming that theirs is a science of absolute and invariable truths, without any presuppositions. Some go as far as to claim that economic laws are as free from “metaphysics” or “values” as the law of gravitations.
From this stems our chronic desire to avoid work and the difficulty of finding truly fulfilling work that aligns with our sense of purpose. Schumacher paints the backdrop for the modern malady of overwork:
There is universal agreement that a fundamental source of wealth is human labor. Now, the modern economist has been brought up to consider “labor” or work as little more than a necessary evil. From the point of view of the employer, it is in any case simply an item of cost, to be reduced to a minimum if it cannot be eliminated altogether, say, by automation. From the point of view of the workman, it is a “disutility”; to work is to make a sacrifice of one’s leisure and comfort, and wages are a kind of compensation for the sacrifice. Hence the ideal from the point of view of the employer is to have output without employees, and the ideal from the point of view of the employee is to have income without employment.
The consequences of these attitudes both in theory and in practice are, of course, extremely far-reaching. If the ideal with regard to work is to get rid of it, every method that “reduces the work load” is a good thing. The most potent method, short of automation, is the so-called “division of labor”… Here it is not a matter of ordinary specialization, which mankind has practiced from time immemorial, but of dividing up every complete process of production into minute parts, so that the final product can be produced at great speed without anyone having had to contribute more than a totally insignificant and, in most cases, unskilled movement of his limbs.
Schumacher contrasts this with the Buddhist perspective:
The Buddhist point of view takes the function of work to be at least threefold: to give a man a chance to utilize and develop his faculties; to enable him to overcome his ego-centeredness by joining with other people in a common task; and to bring forth the goods and services needed for a becoming existence. Again, the consequences that flow from this view are endless. To organize work in such a manner that it becomes meaningless, boring, stultifying, or nerve-racking for the worker would be little short of criminal; it would indicate a greater concern with goods than with people, an evil lack of compassion and a soul-destroying degree of attachment to the most primitive side of this worldly existence. Equally, to strive for leisure as an alternative to work would be considered a complete misunderstanding of one of the basic truths of human existence, namely that work and leisure are complementary parts of the same living process and cannot be separated without destroying the joy of work and the bliss of leisure.
From the Buddhist point of view, there are therefore two types of mechanization which must be clearly distinguished: one that enhances a man’s skill and power and one that turns the work of man over to a mechanical slave, leaving man in a position of having to serve the slave.
E.F. Schumacher
With an undertone of Gandhi’s timeless words, Schumacher writes:
Buddhist economics must be very different from the economics of modern materialism, since the Buddhist sees the essence of civilization not in a multiplication of wants but in the purification of human character. Character, at the same time, is formed primarily by a man’s work. And work, properly conducted in conditions of human dignity and freedom, blesses those who do it and equally their products.
But Schumacher takes care to point out that the Buddhist disposition, rather than a condemnation of the material world, is a more fluid integration with it:
While the materialist is mainly interested in goods, the Buddhist is mainly interested in liberation. But Buddhism is “The Middle Way” and therefore in no way antagonistic to physical well-being. It is not wealth that stands in the way of liberation but the attachment to wealth; not the enjoyment of pleasurable things but the craving for them. The keynote of Buddhist economics, therefore, is simplicity and non-violence. From an economist’s point of view, the marvel of the Buddhist way of life is the utter rationality of its pattern — amazingly small means leading to extraordinarily satisfactory results.
This concept, Schumacher argues, is extremely difficult for an economist from a consumerist culture to grasp as we once again bump up against the warped Western prioritization of productivity over presence:
[The modern Western economist] is used to measuring the “standard of living” by the amount of annual consumption, assuming all the time that a man who consumes more is “better off” than a man who consumes less. A Buddhist economist would consider this approach excessively irrational: since consumption is merely a means to human well-being, the aim should be to obtain the maximum of well-being with the minimum of consumption.

The ownership and the consumption of goods is a means to an end, and Buddhist economics is the systematic study of how to attain given ends with the minimum means.
[Western] economics, on the other hand, considers consumption to be the sole end and purpose of all economic activity, taking the factors of production — land, labor, and capital — as the means. The former, in short, tries to maximize human satisfactions by the optimal pattern of consumption, while the latter tries to maximize consumption by the optimal pattern of productive effort.
This maximization of “human satisfactions,” Schumacher argues, is rooted in two intimately related Buddhist concepts — simplicity and non-violence:
The optimal pattern of consumption, producing a high degree of human satisfaction by means of a relatively low rate of consumption, allows people to live without great pressure and strain and to fulfill the primary injunctions of Buddhist teaching: “Cease to do evil; try to do good.” As physical resources are everywhere limited, people satisfying their needs by means of a modest use of resources are obviously less likely to be at each other’s throats than people depending upon a high rate of use. Equally, people who live in highly self-sufficient local communities are less likely to get involved in large-scale violence than people whose existence depends on worldwide systems of trade.
Writing shortly after Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring sparked the modern environmental movement, Schumacher presages the modern groundswell of advocacy for sustainable locally sourced products:
From the point of view of Buddhist economics … production from local resources for local needs is the most rational way of economic life, while dependence on imports from afar and the consequent need to produce for export to unknown and distant peoples is highly uneconomic and justifiable only in exceptional cases and on a small scale.
He concludes by framing the enduring value of a Buddhist approach to economics, undoubtedly even more urgently needed today than it was in 1973:
It is in the light of both immediate experience and long-term prospects that the study of Buddhist economics could be recommended even to those who believe that economic growth is more important than any spiritual or religious values. For it is not a question of choosing between “modern growth” and “traditional stagnation.” It is a question of finding the right path to development, the Middle Way between materialist heedlessness and traditionalist immobility, in short, of finding “Right Livelihood.”
