The annotation under the "Invention" section of the Cowpea entry in the Shell category of *Bencao Gangmu* (Compendium of Materia Medica) states: The Cowpea is not recorded in orthodox pharmacopoeias; only recent minor texts mention its warm nature and ability to tonify Primordial Yang. Recently, some people calcined the seeds while preserving their medicinal properties (Cunxing), mixed them with plain boiled water, and administered them orally, which proved effective for treating hiccups (E ni). Therefore, Li Shizhen (Binhu) specially added it, unaware of its extensive applications. These are now fully supplemented below.

*Guangdong Gazette* (*Yue Zhi*) records: Luofu Mountain has much Di Shen, also known as Song Huang. However, Song Huang that has not yet fallen is called Song Shi; that which has fallen but whose essence has not dissipated is called Di Shen. Its shape resembles a musket ball; large ones are like chicken eggs, with interlaced red and yellow colors, crystal clear individually. When cooked, it can be used as food. It grows without roots or stems, scattered under pine trees, found where soil is loose and stones are moist; it may be a type of pine mushroom. *Supplement to the Gazette of Jiushan, Zhapu* records: Pine flower mushrooms are produced in mountains with pines, most abundantly at the eastern foot of Mount Chen. In March, pine flowers fall into the soil; after rains in April and May, they sprout; they grow again in August and September. They are fresh, fat, smooth, and tender, considered a superior vegetarian delicacy. Sweet in taste and neutral in nature, it generates body fluids, resolves phlegm, and treats uncontrollable turbid urination.
