Gūhè yīàn 孤鶴醫案
Medical Case Records of the Solitary Crane anonymous (the catalog meta records no author); studio name or hào “Gūhè” 孤鶴 (“Solitary Crane”).
About the work
A single-juǎn anonymous casebook attributed to an unnamed physician with the hào Gūhè 孤鶴 (“Solitary Crane”). The hxwd _000.txt opens directly with case material organised by syndrome: Zhōngfēng 中風 (stroke), with three opening cases. The clinical style is mid-to-late-nineteenth-century Jiāngnán, with the standard gānfēng nèidòng 肝風內動 (internal stirring of liver wind) and yīnyè kuīsǔn 陰液虧損 (depletion of yīn fluids) frameworks for stroke-like presentations.
Prefaces
The hxwd _000.txt opens directly with case material under the heading “Yī, Zhōngfēng” 一、中風. Each case is a few lines of pulse-and-symptom diagnosis followed by a specific prescription: “(Case 1): The right half of the body is paralysed; the pulse comes deficient-soft — yuánqì 元氣 is insufficient. The method should be warming and supplementing. Xī dǎngshēn 3 qián, zhì báizhú 1.5, jìng zǎorén 3 qián, guīshēn 1.5, fǎ bànxià 1.5, lùjiǎo shuāng 2 qián, zhì gāncǎo 4 fēn, tián gǒuqǐ 2 qián, zhū fúshén 2 qián, add xiátiān gāo 2 qián. (Case 2): The yīn fluid was originally deficient, and internal wind fans and scorches — the symptom belongs to piānkū 偏枯 (one-sided withering). The method should be a gentle prescription nourishing the camp…” The form is paradigmatic mid-to-late-Qīng zhōngfēng / piānkū casework.
No formal preface in _000.txt.
Abstract
The Gūhè yīàn is anonymously transmitted; the catalog meta records no author. The clinical idiom — piānkū 偏枯, yīnyè kuīsǔn, gānfēng nèidòng, mature use of dǎngshēn, báizhú, zǎorén, guīshēn, bànxià, lùjiǎo shuāng in stroke-type prescriptions — places the unnamed physician firmly in the mid-to-late-nineteenth-century Jiāngnán warm-disease / gānbìng synthesis. The composition window 1850–1900 reflects this conventional placement.
The work is one of several anonymous yīàn preserved in late-Qīng and early-Republican manuscripts and repatriated through the hxwd project — useful principally as documentary evidence of the diffuse practice of the Sūzhōu warm-disease tradition beyond its famous named practitioners.
