【气味】甘平，无毒。
【主治】主安五脏，定魂魄，杀精魅邪鬼，消瘀血，通五淋。
【核】曰∶出永昌、舶上、西戎、高丽、倭国者良。即松树荣盛时，流脂入土，千岁后，
沦结所成也。一种象物珀，内有物形；一种血珀，殷红如血色；一种赤松脂，形如琥珀，浊
大而脆，文理皆横；一种水珀，浅黄色，多皱文；一种石珀、深黄色，重如砂石；一种花珀，
文如马尾松，而黄白相间者次之；别有一种蜜蜡珀，臭之作蜜蜡香，色黄白，即蜂蜜所化；
一种枫脂珀，烧之不作松脂臭，即枫脂所化也。入药唯松脂血珀最良。修治用水调侧柏子末

【 】曰∶虎魄入土化石，松脂入土化珀，同成坚固，因名琥珀。况膏释脂凝，则松脂
原具坚固相矣。入土沦结，自然莹光特异。虽与松脂偕安五脏，不若琥珀之能奠安神室也。
魂游于天，对待治之；魄降于地，想更亲切。故定魂魄之功，昭着特甚。瘀血五淋，腐秽所

当潜消默化矣。
（猛虎非寿兽，其魄入土化石者，嗔业所致也。松木耐岁寒，其脂入土化珀者，净业所

[Recorded in the Superior Category of Bie Lu]
[Flavor and Nature] Sweet, neutral, non-toxic.
[Indications] Primarily calms the Five Viscera (Zang organs), stabilizes Hun (Ethereal Soul) and Po (Corporeal Soul), eliminates demons and evil spirits, resolves blood stasis, and unblocks the five types of Lin syndrome (dysuria).
[Analysis] It is said: Those originating from Yongchang, brought by overseas ships, from Western Regions, Goryeo, and Wa (Japan) are of superior quality. This substance forms when resin flows from flourishing pine trees into the soil and, after a thousand years, sinks and condenses into formation. One type resembles "Wu Po" (Object Amber), containing shapes of objects inside; one type is Blood Amber, dark red like blood color; one type is Red Pine Resin, shaped like amber but turbid, coarse, and brittle, with all textures running horizontally; one type is Water Amber, pale yellow with many wrinkles; one type is Stone Amber, deep yellow, heavy as sand or gravel; one type is Flower Amber, with textures resembling Masson pine, where yellow and white intermingle, considered inferior; another distinct type is Beeswax Amber, smelling like beeswax, yellowish-white, transformed from honey; one type is Maple Resin Amber, which does not smell like pine resin when burned, transformed from maple resin. For medicinal use, Pine Resin and Blood Amber are the best. Processing method: Mix Cnidii Fructus (Ce Bai Zi, 侧柏子) powder with water, place it in a porcelain pot, put the Amber inside, and boil from Si hour to Shen hour. There should be an unusual luster appearing. Grind into powder and sieve for use.
[Note] It is said: Tiger's soul (Amber) turns into stone when entering the earth, and Pine resin turns into Amber when entering the earth; both form solid substances, hence named Amber. Moreover, since fluid releases and fat coagulates, Pine resin originally possesses the characteristic of solidity. When sinking and condensing underground, it naturally emits a special, lustrous glow. Although both Pine resin and Amber can calm the Five Viscera, Amber is superior in establishing and calming the Divine Residence (Shen Shi, referring to the abode of the Mind/Shen). The Hun wanders in the heavens, treated by addressing its counterpart; the Po descends to the earth, making it more intimate to relate to. Therefore, the merit of stabilizing Hun and Po is particularly prominent. Blood stasis and the five Lin syndromes are formed by decay and filth. Pine resin and Amber gather essence and brilliance. The reason they can eliminate demons and evil spirits is that their unique light illuminates like a jade disc, causing ghosts and demons to reveal their forms. As if a divine spirit were present, Yin of death will naturally dissipate silently.
(The fierce tiger is not a long-lived beast; its Po turning into stone upon entering the earth is caused by karmic retribution of anger. The pine tree withstands cold winters; its resin turning into amber upon entering the earth is achieved through pure karma.)
