On the 16th day of the first month, in the year of Wuzi, the patient, a 32-year-old male, presented with a floating, full, and rapid pulse, headache, body pain, aversion to cold, and sweating. This is indicative of Taiyang (EX-HN5) apoplexy, but the pulse in apoplexy is typically slow. The current pulse is full, rapid, and forceful, suggesting the possibility of transmission to other meridians. Cinnamon Twig Decoction is prescribed.

Boil to make two cups. Take one cup first, followed by a bowl of hot thin porridge, and cover with a blanket to induce slight sweating. If sweating occurs, stop the medication; if not, take the second cup.

On the 17th day, the pulse's fullness and rapidness have decreased. The headache, fever, and aversion to cold have also diminished. The remaining pathogenic factors have entered the Shaoyang meridian, causing retching and a bitter taste in the mouth. Minor Bupleurum Decoction is prescribed, with smallpox powder added if there is thirst.
