Tangye jingfa

By Sharon Weizenbaum

The six spirit (짇 lìu shén) and two dawning (랗뎀 èr dàn) formulas come from a text whose full title is Secret Tips for Helpful Action: The Key to Using Medicinals on the Zàngfŭ Organs (輔契訣臟릎痰藥랬狼 Fŭxíngjué Zàngfŭ Yòngyào Făyào) – “Fuxingjue”. I gave the title Tāngyè jīngfă to this article because the contents of the Fuxingjue are explicitly about classical methods of decoctions (jīngfă).
