卷五·第三十八章 催吐与泻下

古人择日之说:向上的疗法配黄道的上升之侧,月在白羊、金牛;向下的疗法配下降之侧,月在天秤、天蝎。

XXXVIII. Chapter: For One Who Wants to Vomit, or to Drink a Purgative Drug, and Other Treatments by Which One Is Made Well through Vomiting or Purging.

[1] If someone wants to vomit after surfeit, or to take snuff, or other treatments used for the upper part of the head that he wants to press out, begin that when the Moon is in Aries or in Taurus and the Moon is decreasing; for these two signs are elevated and are called the side of ascent, and on the ascending sign it flows upward; the best is when the benefics regard the Moon.

[2] If you want to begin drinking a purgative drug, or something that loosens the belly, or a clyster, or drinking other loosening drugs, the best time to begin is when the Moon is in Libra or Scorpio; for this place presses down and is called the side of descent; and it is best when the benefics regard the Moon, for then the benefit is greater.

XXXVIII. Chapter: For One Who Wants to Vomit, or to Drink a Purgative Drug, and Other Treatments by Which One Is Made Well through Vomiting or Purging.

第三十八章 论想催吐、服泻药,以及借呕吐或泻下而得康复的其他疗法。

[1] If someone wants to vomit after surfeit, or to take snuff, or other treatments used for the upper part of the head that he wants to press out, begin that when the Moon is in Aries or in Taurus and the Moon is decreasing; for these two signs are elevated and are called the side of ascent, and on the ascending sign it flows upward; the best is when the benefics regard the Moon.

[1] 若有人吃得过饱想催吐,或想用鼻嗅药,或用其他治头部上方、想把东西压出来的疗法,就在月亮位于白羊或金牛且月亮光减时开始;因为这两个星座高起,叫作上升之侧,在上升的星座里东西往上流;最好是有吉星照见月亮时。

[2] If you want to begin drinking a purgative drug, or something that loosens the belly, or a clyster, or drinking other loosening drugs, the best time to begin is when the Moon is in Libra or Scorpio; for this place presses down and is called the side of descent; and it is best when the benefics regard the Moon, for then the benefit is greater.

[2] 若你想开始服泻药,或通便之物,或灌肠,或服其他泻下的药,最好的开端是月亮在天秤或天蝎时;因为这个位置往下压,叫作下降之侧;最好是有吉星照见月亮,那时益处更大。

🧭 图解与讲解

本章与下面几章讲疾病、开刀的择日,都是古代占星文献,讲解只照原文介绍古人的择时之说,不是医疗指导,读者有病须求医。

版本对勘:单元一 催吐与泻下(§1–2,英文第 1–3 行)
句依据主要异文裁定
§1阿拉伯文 + L f. 24, 1两本同;Heph. III 34, 2 反说白羊金牛忌催吐(反刍星座),并改用交点依阿拉伯文与 L 两证;赫菲斯提翁之说不收,讲解说明
§2阿拉伯文 + L f. 24, 2同依阿拉伯文

〔图〕古人取象:向上的疗法配上升之侧,向下的疗法配下降之侧

本章的道理是取象(图二)。黄道上从摩羯经白羊到巨蟹的一半,太阳一路向北升高,叫「上升之侧」;从巨蟹经天秤到摩羯的一半,太阳一路向南降低,叫「下降之侧」。白羊、金牛在上升之侧,古人认为在这里东西往上走,所以配催吐、嗅药这类向上排出的疗法;天秤、天蝎在下降之侧,东西往下压,所以配泻药、灌肠。两种都要有吉星照见月亮。

阿拉伯文与希腊抄本 L 第二十四页的一篇佚名小章两本相同,融合本依两证(表一)。赫菲斯提翁卷三第三十四章却反过来说白羊、金牛忌催吐,理由是它们是「反刍」的星座(羊、牛会反刍,吐出的东西又回来),并改看交点。那是另一家的理据,与本章两证不合,不收,只记在这里备考。
