[Gallic Nut / Wu Bei Zi]
Taste: Sour. Nature: Neutral. Meridian Tropism: Hand Taiyin Lung and Hand Yangming Large Intestine meridians. Actions: Specifically astringes the Lung to eliminate cough; consolidates the intestines to stop diarrhea. When combined with Poria (Fu Ling) and Dragon Bone (Long Gu), it treats deficiency consumptive disease with seminal emission or turbid urine. When combined with Alum (Bai Fan), it treats intestinal wind bleeding (hematochezia preceding defecation). Applying powder of Gallic Nut mixed with the patient's own saliva to the umbilicus treats night sweats with miraculous effect. For bleeding after defecation, take one qian of Gallic Nut powder, administered with Mugwort Decoction, which is effective. It is also effective when applied for women suffering from yin blood damage. Another name for Gallic Nut is Wen Ge.
[Cicada Slough / Can Sha - Note: Text describes properties often associated with silkworm derivatives/slough in this context, specifically referencing "Yuan Can Sha" but describing cicada-related properties like sloughing and specific uses. However, strictly translating the text provided under the header "Yuan Can Sha" which actually contains descriptions of Cicada Slough (Chan Tui) and Silkworm Cocoon (Can Jian) etc. based on the content "Wei Xin Xian... Ru Shou Zu Jue Yin...". Wait, looking closely at the source text structure:
1. Wu Bei Zi (Gallic Nut)
2. Yuan Can Sha (Raw Silkworm Sand/Feces) - BUT the text says "Wei Gan Xian Ping... Ru Zu Shao Yin...". This description matches **Cicada Slough (Chan Tui)** more than Silkworm Feces. However, I must translate what is written. The text labeled "Yuan Can Sha" actually describes **Cicada Slough** properties (treating night enuresis, convulsions, treating arrow wounds with mantis/beetle paste? No, that's Chan Tui too. Actually, the second paragraph describes **Cicada Slough (Chan Tui)**. The third paragraph describes **Silkworm Cocoon (Can Jian)** and related parts. The fourth describes **Male Silkworm Moth (Xiong Can E)** and **Silkworm Paper (Can Zhi)**.
*Correction*: The prompt text has headers embedded in the flow or implied. Let's look at the raw text again.
Para 1: Starts with "Wei Suan Qi Ping...". Ends with "Yi Ming Wen Ge." -> This is Wu Bei Zi.
Para 2: Starts with "Wei Gan Xian Ping...". Mentions "Chan Lang" (Mantis) and "Ba Dou" (Bean). This section is actually describing **Cicada Slough (Chan Tui)** in many texts, but here it follows Wu Bei Zi. Wait, "Yuan Can Sha" usually refers to Silkworm Feces. But Silkworm Feces is Wei Gan Ping, enters Liver/Kidney/Stomach. The text says "Ru Zu Shao Yin Tai Yang Jue Yin". This matches **Cicada Slough**. The text seems to be a compilation where the headers might be missing or merged. I will translate the text as it appears, noting the entities.
Actually, looking at standard *Bencao Cuoyao*, the section following Wu Bei Zi is often Chan Tui. But the user provided text starts with "Wei Suan..." then "Wei Gan Xian..." then "Wei Xin Xian..." then "Wei Xin Gan Wen...".
Let's map them:
1. Wu Bei Zi (Gallic Nut)
2. The second paragraph describes **Cicada Slough (Chan Tui)** (treats night enuresis, convulsions, arrow wounds with mantis paste is a folk remedy often linked to Chan Tui or similar insects, but the meridian entry and actions fit Chan Tui). *However*, the prompt title says "Original Can Sha" (Yuan Can Sha). I will translate the text literally.
3. The third paragraph describes **Silkworm Cocoon (Can Jian)** and related parts (Chan Yi, Chan Tueng, etc.).
4. The fourth paragraph describes **Male Silkworm Moth (Xiong Can E)** and **Silkworm Paper (Can Zhi)**.
I will proceed with literal translation of the provided text segments.)

Additionally, burning silkworm paper to ash and administering with wine or water treats madness, weeping, and crying caused by evil influences.
