1. For accidental swallowing of silver objects, take a handful of Chinese chive (Jiucai), briefly boil in boiling water without cutting, and consume it blandly. Shortly after, the vegetable will wrap around the silver object and vomit it out, or it may be excreted through the stool.

2. For accidental swallowing of fishhooks, there was once a fisherman who accidentally swallowed a hook. Liu Zundao instructed him to melt wax into pills, insert a thread into them, and swallow them. The sharp part of the hook would embed into the wax, allowing it to be pulled out by traction.

3. For accidental swallowing of leeches (Shuizhi, Hirudo). Once leeches enter the abdomen and remain for a long time, new leeches may hatch, sucking essence and blood, causing the person's face, eyes, and muscles to become yellow and emaciated.
Melt pig fat (Zhugao) and pound until uniform. Then, take ten grains of Croton seed (Badou) with oil removed, mix with four ingredients including pig fat, pound uniformly, and form pills the size of mung beans. Swallow with muddy water from fields on an empty stomach. Adults take five to seven pills, children three pills. After a short while, diarrhea occurs, expelling all leeches. Subsequently, regulate the body with Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction).

4. For accidental swallowing of centipedes, there was once a maid who used a fire tube to blow on fire, unaware that a centipede was inside. Upon blowing, the startled centipede darted into her mouth and was inadvertently swallowed. Seeking help, everyone was at a loss. Someone suggested taking one young chicken, cutting its throat to collect blood, drinking it all at once, then pouring sesame oil down to induce vomiting, which expelled the centipede. Additionally, a farmer in Jinzhuang fell asleep on the ground in summer; a centipede entered his mouth. Upon waking, his throat swelled uncomfortably, feeling like an obstruction, unable to cough it out or swallow it down, with不定 pain and itching, causing great suffering. A doctor broke an egg, mixed it with wine, and had him drink it at once, while also administering Rhubarb powder mixed with sesame oil. Within moments, he had diarrhea, and the centipede was expelled still alive. This is because the centipede's legs were contracted by the egg white, preventing movement, and the purgative medicine facilitated its exit via the stool. Moreover, chickens naturally eat centipedes, reflecting the principle of mutual restriction.

The neck is commonly called "boxiang". Anteriorly lies the Clavicle fossa (Quepen), and in the center of the clavicle fossa is the Tiantu acupoint (CV-22) of the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel), which is the first meridian line centered in the anterior neck. Above the clavicle fossa is the Yingjing acupoint (ST-9), located one cun and five fen open in the throat, belonging to the Stomach Meridian, which is the second meridian line in the anterior neck. One cun and five fen behind Yingjing is the Futu acupoint (LI-18), belonging to the Large Intestine Meridian, i.e., the third meridian line in the anterior neck. Behind Futu is the Tianchuang acupoint (SI-16), belonging to the Small Intestine Meridian, i.e., the fourth meridian line in the middle neck. Behind Tianchuang is the Gallbladder Meridian; there are no acupoints in the neck here, constituting the fifth meridian line. Behind the Gallbladder Meridian is the Tianyou acupoint (TE-15), belonging to the Sanjiao (Triple Burner) Meridian, i.e., the sixth meridian line in the middle neck. Behind Tianyou is the Tianzhu acupoint (BL-10), belonging to the Bladder Meridian, i.e., the seventh meridian line in the middle neck. Behind Tianzhu, residing in the center of the neck, is the Du Mai (Governing Vessel), named Tianfu (Note: Textual error likely, as Tianfu is LU-4, but translating as per source), which is the eighth meridian line from the anterior central row to here.
The Clavicle fossa (Quepen acupoint is located on both sides of the transverse bone, one on each side, serving as the pathway for the twelve meridians). The Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, and Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian all enter the clavicle fossa. The Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian, Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, and Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian all knot at the clavicle fossa.
