 "Annotations on Treatise on Febrile Diseases": The pulse is the home of blood, and all blood belongs to the heart. Anyone who wants to clear the pulse must first nourish the heart and replenish the blood. Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing used the bitter and warm properties of angelica to help the heart blood in treating cold hands and feet and weak pulses.
 "Main Treatment Secrets": Angelica has three uses: one is the heart meridian medicine, the second is to regulate blood, and the third is to treat all diseases that are worse at night. To treat the upper and external, it must be soaked in wine, which can break up the hardness. It must be used for all blood diseases. For those with unbearable eye pain, soak Coptis chinensis and Angelica root in wine and boil them. It is also said: If blood is blocked and does not flow, it will cause pain. Angelica is pungent and warm to disperse it, so that qi and blood can each go to their own place.
 Li Gao: The head of angelica stops bleeding and makes it move upward; the body nourishes blood and guards the middle: the tip breaks blood and makes it flow downward; the whole body activates blood and makes it stop moving.
 Tangye Bencao: Angelica sinensis enters the Shaoyin meridian of the hand because its heart governs blood; enters the Taiyin meridian of the foot because its spleen binds blood; enters the Jueyin meridian of the foot because its liver stores blood. The head can break blood, the body can nourish blood, and the tail can circulate blood. If the user does not distinguish between them, it is better not to use them. If all of them are used, they can nourish blood with ginseng and astragalus; they can break blood with morning glory and rhubarb. The user should know that the assistants and assistants determine the division. With cinnamon, aconite, and cornus, it is hot; with rhubarb and sodium sulfate, it is cold. Only when Angelica sinensis is steamed with wine, it can treat headaches. Because all headaches belong to wood, it is treated with blood medicine.
 "Han's Medical Manual": Angelica is the main treatment for blood diseases. Sichuan Angelica is strong and can attack, while Qin Angelica is soft and can supplement. For this disease, wine should be used, and phlegm should be soaked with ginger juice. The same is true for Rehmannia glutinosa. Blood deficiency is supplemented with ginseng and stone fat. Blood heat is supplemented with Rehmannia glutinosa, turmeric, and Scutellaria baicalensis to continuously replenish the source of life. Blood stagnation is supplemented with rhubarb. Women with fat bodies have blood turned into phlegm. The two flavors are soaked in ginger and supplemented with diuretics. In short, blood drugs cannot be abandoned. Therefore, the ancient prescription Siwu Decoction is the main ingredient, peony is the minister, Rehmannia glutinosa is divided into raw and cooked as the assistant, and Chuanxiong is the messenger. It can be said to be a classic.
 "Compendium of Materia Medica": Danggui is used to treat headaches. It is boiled with wine and taken for its clear and floating properties. It is used to treat heartaches. It is mixed with wine and taken for its turbid and half-sunk and half-floating properties. It is used to treat bleeding in urine. It is boiled with wine and taken for its sinking properties. There are naturally high and low differences. Wang Haizang said that Danggui is a blood medicine. How can it treat cough, reverse breathing and shortness of breath in the chest? Danggui has a pungent and dispersing taste. It is a blood medicine. Moreover, cough, reverse breathing and shortness of breath are caused by yin deficiency and yang having nowhere to attach. Therefore, using blood medicine to replenish yin will harmonize the blood and lower the qi.
 "Compendium of Materia Medica": All diseases that are worse at night are blood diseases, so it is appropriate to use it. All diseases that are weak and cold are caused by the Yang having nowhere to attach, so it is appropriate to use it. The cold and heat of warm malaria are not outside the skin and in the muscles, but are washed in the skin. The skin is where the Ying Qi gathers. If warm malaria lasts for a long time, the Ying Qi will be weak, and the cold and heat will fight each other. Sweat and wash, and use blood medicine to nourish the Ying, then the Ying will be harmonious and in harmony with the Wei. If the Ying and Wei are in harmony, why can't warm malaria be stopped?
 "Compendium of Materia Medica": Angelica sinensis, its taste is sweet and heavy, so it can specifically nourish blood, its qi is light and pungent, so it can also promote blood circulation, and it is a qi medicine in the blood, and it is also a holy medicine in the blood. Generally speaking, it can nourish blood, nourish qi and produce essence, calm the five internal organs, strengthen the body, and benefit the mind. It is suitable for all diseases with physical deficiency. It can be used to attack, so it can relieve pain and relieve constipation, benefit the tendons and bones, and treat symptoms such as cramps, paralysis, dryness, and astringency. For those with deficiency of the Ying and unresolved exterior, it can be assisted with Chai, Ge, Ma, Gui and other agents, which can greatly disperse the heat of the exterior defense, and for those who cannot restrain the exterior, it can be assisted with rhubarb and the like, which can also consolidate the exterior. However, its qi is pungent and moving, so those who want it to be quiet should avoid it, and those who are slippery and good at moving, and those who have loose stools should avoid it. For those with strong fire in the yin, Angelica sinensis can move blood, which is not suitable. For those with deficiency of yang in the yin, Angelica sinensis can nourish blood, which is indispensable. If the blood stagnates and causes dysentery, it should be used. The key is to move and slide. If women have blood stagnation during menstruation, labor is induced, and the baby has pain in the pillow after delivery, this should be used as the main ingredient. 9. "Compendium of Materia Medica": Angelica sinensis is used to protect the body and replenish the body. The tail of Angelica sinensis is used to clear the body and remove blood stasis. The head of Angelica sinensis has the nature of ascending. It is appropriate to raise the yin with the yang in cases of blood in stool, blood in urine, metrorrhagia, etc. If the qi and fire rise and float in cases of vomiting blood and nosebleed, it is better to help warm the tiger. The two words "hemostasis" should be used according to the symptoms. It is not advisable to stick to the word "stop" and mistakenly think that it can do everything. Moreover, in cases of blood loss, the qi and fire rush and disturb the blood vessels, and the circulation does not follow the old path, which is actually the majority. The smell of Angelica sinensis is thick, and it is too much to move, but not enough to keep it.
