(Recorded in the Lower Category of *Shennong Bencao Jing* [Divine Farmer's Materia Medica])
[Correction] Transferred from the "Named but Unused" category into *Mingyi Bielu* [Additional Records of Famous Physicians] as Guiju.
[Names] Shifa (from *Tang Bencao* [Tang Materia Medica]), Shi Yi (from *Rihua Bencao* [Daily Life Materia Medica]), Shi Tai (from *Tang Bencao*), Shi Hua (from *Bencao Gangmu* [Compendium of Materia Medica]), Shi Ma Zong (from *Bencao Gangmu*). The character "Ju" in Guiju is synonymous with "Li".
Tao Hongjing stated: Yuanyi [moss growing on walls], also known as Wujiu, has different therapeutic effects and does not belong to this species.
Li Shizhen stated: The therapeutic indications recorded in *Mingyi Bielu* are identical to those of Yuanyi; thus, they belong to the same category and sharing the common name Wujiu causes no harm. However, Shifa shares the name with Zhili; their properties differ slightly due to one being aquatic and the other terrestrial.
[Collection and Explanation] *Mingyi Bielu* states: Wujiu grows on rocks in mountain valleys. It also states: Guiju grows on stones. It is collected in places where the sun does not shine directly and used for bathing.
Su Gong stated: It is Shi Tai [stone moss]. Also known as Shifa. It grows in the shade of rock faces, in places not exposed to sunlight, and resembles Juanbai [Selaginella tamariscina].
Chen Cangqi stated: It grows in shady places among large stones and trees, appearing emerald green and velvety; it resembles moss but is not moss.
Ma Zhi stated: This is Shi Yi. It can grow up to four or five cun in length.
[Fragrance and Flavor] Sweet, cold, non-toxic.
Ma Zhi stated: Cold, toxic. Yuanyi serves as a guiding herb (shi).
[Therapeutic Actions] Treats alternating chills and fever on the skin, promotes the qi flow of the Small Intestine and Bladder (*Shennong Bencao Jing*). Treats jaundice, internal obstruction from metallic wounds, tonifies the Middle Jiao, and benefits qi (*Mingyi Bielu*). Burned to ash and used to wash hair, it darkens hair (Ma Zhi).
[Attached Prescriptions] Three new prescriptions.
Wind-cold in the waist and legs: Soak Shi Hua in wine and drink it (*Taiping Shenghui Fang*).
Metrorrhagia in women: Take one spoonful each of Shi Hua, Xi Cha [fine tea leaves] (roasted and powdered), and Jiu Qi Die [old lacquer dish] (burned until carbonized but retaining its nature). Place in a bowl with wine and boil once in a pot.
Scalds and burns: Roast Shi Tai, powder it, and apply externally (*Haishang Fang*).
[Appendix] Bairui Cao [Herba Polygalae Tenuifoliae] (from Song Dynasty *Tujing Bencao*)
Su Song stated: Grows in Hezhong Prefecture, Qinzhou, and Jianzhou. The root is yellowish-white, resembling Wasong [Sedum sarmentosum]; the stems and leaves are green, resembling pine needles. It produces no flowers. Seedlings emerge in March, growing to about five or six cun by April. Roots are harvested throughout the four seasons and dried. It promotes lactation, smooths blood vessels, and regulates qi effectively.
