Zhu Zhai recorded during his tenure in Rencheng: On the stone platform base behind the kitchen of the Shengdi Temple on Qinting Mountain in Hangzhou, there grows a herb resembling lily (Lilium), named Lily Herb (Baihe Cao), also known as Buddha's Hand (Foshou), which can be used as medicine.
To treat sores: For any kind of malignant sore, washing it with a decoction of this herb will lead to recovery. I (Zhao Xuemin) note: In Wang An's Herbal Collection, Shegan (Belamcandae Rhizoma) is also called Foshoucao; [text implies confusion or lack of efficacy for specific conditions not fully detailed here]...

It is abundant in the mountains of Yuhang. The leaves resemble those of Dayejuejin (a local name, possibly referring to a plant with large leaves like Venus's Flytrap or similar broad-leafed herb), and the roots are black and shaped like silkworms.
Note: Ganluzi (Pachyrhizus erosus tuber), also known as Caoshican, is different from this.
Qianxi Yizhi records: Stone Silkworm (Shican) grows on Tongguan Mountain; it is a vine. It takes stone as soil, and its shape resembles a silkworm. Harvesting and eating it can cure wind-bi (wind-rheumatism). Bencao states: Stone Silkworm refers to stones that look like silkworms, not real silkworms. The vine-type silkworm roots in stone, while the stone-type silkworm lies hidden in the soil. Unless one is a learned gentleman, how could one distinguish their names and understand their natures?
For treating tiger bites to promote wound closure: If a bite from a tiger has formed a sore that does not heal, applying the powdered herb to the wound will cause immediate scabbing.
Treats wind-bi and Wool Plague (Yangmao Sha).
I (Zhao Xuemin) note: According to Wang An's Herbal Collection: Jinxing Fengwei is Sword Grass (Jianbao Cao); its root is named Shican. It can detoxify sulfur and venomous snake poison, treat back carbuncles and ulcers, tubercles, hot strangury, eye diseases, and damp-sores of the yin region. From this, it is clear that it is neither Tengcan nor Ganluzi.

Cat-Tong Xiqiao [Supplementary Note]
Also known as Cuimei Cao. Baicao Jing says: Sprouts emerge in spring; leaves are narrow, pointed, rough, and slightly hairy; flowers are blue-green in March. By May, the stems spread, take root in the soil, and resemble a bridge at both ends, hence the name. Harvest in March, removing the roots.
Nature is cold. Ge Zu Fang records: Treats Shili Huang (a condition involving weakness and jaundice); can dissipate heat-blood, wind-fire, qi-toxicity from various sores. Baicao Jing says: Disperses wind-fire, promotes urination to remove damp-heat, treats White Huodan (white herpes zoster-like eruption), scabies, and secures essence.
White Turbidity: Use three qian of Maoye Xiqiao, decocted in wine and taken orally.
Li Shi Caomi records: Xiqiao Cao resembles a bridge, takes root when touching the ground, leaves resemble willow leaves, with many having dark purple undersides; blooms with a single purple flower spike in autumn. Treats ding sores and various toxic abscesses/swellings. Crush the herb, extract juice, mix with wine, and drink. Even if the patient is delirious and near death, they will revive upon ingestion. Wang Lianshi says: The variety with fine leaves is Zi Bei Xiqiao; the underside must be purple, spreading along the ground like a bridge. Locals call it Ding Chuang Cao (Ding Sore Herb); it can eliminate ding swellings and draw out the root. Combine with Cang'er Cao (Xanthii Fructus), decoct in wine, and take.
