The original formula of Xiao Jian Zhong Tang is Gui Zhi Tang with Paeoniae Alba and caramelized sugar. The ancients did not specify whether the white peony was fried or wine-fried. White peony in wine is clean slices of white peony stir-fried in yellow wine, with a slightly sour flavor and a slight wine aroma. The color is slightly yellow or light brownish-yellow with burnt spots. White peony in wine has the effects of white peony while favoring blood nourishment and activation (nourishing the blood and promoting blood circulation), and can be used in cases of blood deficiency with cold blood coagulation. Stir-fried Paeonia lactiflora is raw white peony stir-fried with bran, with a yellowish surface and occasional scorched spots. The coldness of fried white peony becomes moderate after frying. It is mainly used to strengthen the spleen and harmonize the stomach (restoring the functions of the spleen and stomach), astringing yin and stopping sweating (astringing yin fluid and reducing sweating), and treating blood deficiency such as pallor and fatigue, and liver-expansion and spleen-deficiency such as intestinal tinnitus, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Xiao Jian Zhong Tang has the function of warming the middle Jiao, tonifying the deficiency, harmonizing the li and easing the urgency, and is mainly used for treating the deficiency of middle Jiao and cold, and the disharmony between the liver and spleen (the liver and spleen cannot work in harmony). Symptoms include abdominal constriction (body spasms and convulsions due to the feeling of wind-cold) and pain, liking warmth and pressing, and mental fatigue (mental exhaustion and physical weakness). It is clinically used in the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers, chronic hepatitis, chronic gastritis, etc., which are caused by deficiency and cold in the middle jiao, and disharmony between the liver and spleen. To summarize, there is a difference between fried white peony and white peony in wine, therefore, the specific use of Xiao Jian Zhong Tang and white peony should be used under the guidance of a physician to identify the symptoms.
