Da Fu Pi (Areca Pericarpium), its detailed description is recorded under the entry for Bing Lang (Areca Seed).

He Huan (Albizia Bark), also known as Ye He (Night-Closing Tree). It grows in the valleys of Yizhou. Currently, it is found in the areas around Yongzhou and Luoyang near the capital, and many households plant it in their courtyards. The tree resembles Wutong (Paulownia), with very tender branches; the leaves resemble those of Zaojiao Huai (Gleditsia sinensis or similar Acacia species), being extremely fine and dense, interlocking with each other. Whenever the wind blows, the leaves seem to untie themselves from one another, no longer clinging together; at dusk, the leaves close up, hence the name He Hun (Twilight Union). Flowers bloom in May, appearing red and white, with filaments resembling velvet on the petals. By autumn, the fruit forms into pods, containing seeds that are extremely thin and fine. The bark and leaves are harvested for use, without restriction on the specific month. Cui Bao's *Gu Jin Zhu* (Records of Ancient and Modern Times) states: "To dispel a person's sorrow, gift them Dan Ji (Red Spurge/Albizia); Dan Ji is also called Wang You (Forget-Worry). To dispel a person's anger, gift them Qing Shang (Green Garment); Qing Shang refers to He Huan." Thus, Ji Kang planted it in front of his house, which is the reason behind this practice. Wei Zhou's *Du Xing Fang* (Single Journey Prescriptions) records: "Rough, scaly skin on the chest and heart area indicates Fei Yong (Lung Abscess), treated primarily with Huang Hun Tang (Twilight Decoction). Take one palm-sized piece of Ye He bark, add three sheng of water, boil until half a sheng remains, and take in two doses."

Qin Jiao (Zanthoxylum Qinense), grows in the valleys of Mount Tai and on Mount Qinling, or in Langya. Currently, it is found in the regions between Qinzhou and Fengzhou, as well as in Mingzhou, Yuezhou, Jinzhou, and Shangzhou. It flowers in early autumn and bears fruit in late autumn, harvested in September and October. Tao Hongjing stated: "It resembles Zhuo (Pepper) but is larger, yellowish-black in color, and some call it Da Jiao (Large Pepper)." Su Gong stated: "The leaves, stems, and seeds all resemble Shu Jiao (Sichuan Pepper), but the fruits are smaller and the flavor is milder." *Er Ya* states: "[Character missing], which is Da Jiao." Guo Pu stated: "Zhuo grows in clusters; those with large fruits are named [Character missing]." The *Classic of Poetry · Tang Feng* says: "Jiao Liao" (Clustered Pepper). Lu Ji's commentary also states: "Zhuo resembles Zhuyu (Cornus officinalis), possessing thorns. The stems and leaves are hard and smooth. People in Shu make tea from it, and people in Wu make ming (tea infusion), boiling the leaves together for fragrance." Currently, in the mountains of Chenggao, it is called Zhu Ye Jiao (Bamboo-Leaf Pepper). Its tree resembles Shu Jiao, has less toxicity and heat, is not suitable for medicinal compounding, but can be added to food for flavoring, and is best used for steaming chickens and pigs. There is also pepper on the islands of the East Sea; its branches and leaves are similar. The fruits are elongated and not round, very fragrant, with a taste resembling orange peel. Deer and gazelles on the islands eat its leaves, and their meat naturally acquires the scent of pepper and orange peel. However, the type of pepper currently grown in both northern and southern China has fruits larger than Shu Jiao, which aligns perfectly with the descriptions of Tao, Guo, and Lu. Therefore, the one with larger fruits should be identified as Qin Jiao. The text mentions that in Shu and Wu, tea and ming were made by boiling the leaves, a practice no longer followed today. Generally, there are many differences between what ancients consumed and what is consumed now. Thus, in the entry for Ku [Character missing] (likely referring to a bitter herb like Cha/Ku Ding Cha), it states: "Adding Zhuyu, Cong (Scallion), Jiang (Ginger), etc., when making drinks is good," which is correct. It is traditionally said that Zhuo can attract/remove Mercury. It is also said that the qi of Zhuo tends to descend, meaning taking it benefits downward movement and prevents upward rushing. When taking medicinal herbs, Shu Jiao (Sichuan Pepper) should be used.
