一名苍 石，一名 石，一名鼠毒。生西城，采无时。（火炼之良，畏水。）
旧云鹳巢中者最佳，鹳恒入水冷，故取以壅卵令热。今不可得。唯用出汉中者，其外形
紫赤色，内白如霜，中央有臼，形状如齿者佳。《大散方》云∶出荆州新城郡防陵县，练白
色为好。用之亦先以黄土包烧之一日，亦可内斧孔中烧之，合玉壶诸丸多用此。《仙经》不
云特生，则止是前白 石耳。（《新修》六十八页，《大观》卷五，《政和》一三四页）
味苦、辛，温，无毒。主治女子寒热，症瘕，月闭，积聚，阴肿痛，漏下。无子。止泄

即今化铅所作胡粉也。其有金色者，治尸虫弥良，而谓之粉锡，事与经乖。（《新修》七

此物与胡粉异类，而今共条。当以其非正成具一药，故以附见锡品中也。古无纯以铜作
镜者，皆用锡杂之。《别录》用铜镜鼻，即是今破古铜镜鼻尔，用之当烧令赤纳酒中饮之。
若置醯中出入百过，亦可捣也。铅与锡，《本经》云生桂阳。今乃出临贺，临贺犹是分桂阳
所置。铅与锡虽相似，而入用大异。（《新修》七六页，《大观》卷五，《政和》一二八页）
(Leopard's Bane Herb [Radix Dangeliae] serves as its guiding herb.) (From *Xinxiu Bencao*, p. 73; *Daguan Bencao*, Vol. 5; *Zhenghe Bencao*, p. 130)
Also known as Cangshi, or Shishi, or Shudu. Produced in Xicheng, collected at any time. (Fire refining is superior; it fears water.)
Old texts state that those found in stork nests are of the best quality, because storks frequently enter cold water, thus this substance is used to keep eggs warm. It is now unavailable. Only those from Hanzhong are used; those with a purple-red exterior, white interior like frost, a central depression resembling a mortar, and a shape like teeth are considered excellent. The *Dasan Fang* states: produced in Fangling County, Xincheng Commandery, Jingzhou Prefecture; refined white color is preferred. When used, it should first be wrapped in yellow earth and roasted for one day, or it can be roasted inside an axe hole. It is commonly used in combination with pills such as the Yuhu Wan. The *Xianjing* does not mention it growing specifically on its own, implying it is merely the aforementioned Baishi. (From *Xinxiu Bencao*, p. 68; *Daguan Bencao*, Vol. 5; *Zhenghe Bencao*, p. 134)
Taste: bitter, pungent. Nature: warm. Toxicity: non-toxic. Indications: women's alternating chills and fever, Zhengjia (abdominal masses), amenorrhea, Jiju (accumulations), swelling and pain in the yin region, Louxia (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding), infertility. Stops diarrhea and dysentery. Should not be taken for a long time as it damages the five Zang organs and causes emaciation. Also known as Baishan. Produced in the valleys of Handan, collected at any time.
This is the material currently used for painting. It is abundant and cheap, rarely used in secular medical formulas, and not required by the *Xianjing*. (From *Xinxiu Bencao*, p. 75; *Daguan Bencao*, Vol. 5; *Zhenghe Bencao*, p. 132)
Taste: pungent. Nature: cold. Toxicity: non-toxic. Indications: Fusshi (latent parasites or pathogens), toxic insect bites, killing the Three Worms (Ascaris, Enterobius, Taenia). Removes Biezha (abdominal masses), treats severe sores, induces abortion, stops frequent urination. Also known as Jiexi.
It is the Hu Fen (Lead White) made from melted lead today. Those with a golden hue are more effective against corpse worms and are called Fenxi, which contradicts the classic records. (From *Xinxiu Bencao*, p. 76; *Daguan Bencao*, Vol. 5; *Zhenghe Bencao*, p. 127)
This substance belongs to a different category than Hu Fen, but is listed in the same entry here. Because it is not a formally prepared medicinal ingredient, it is attached to the Tin section. In ancient times, there were no mirrors made purely of copper; tin was always mixed in. The Tongjingbi (Bronze Mirror Nose) mentioned in the *Bielu* refers to broken bronze mirror noses from antiquity. When used, they should be heated until red-hot and then placed in wine for drinking. If immersed in vinegar repeatedly a hundred times, they can also be crushed. Lead and Tin, according to the *Benjing*, are produced in Guiyang. Currently, they are produced in Linhe, which was established from the division of Guiyang. Although Lead and Tin appear similar, their medicinal applications differ greatly. (From *Xinxiu Bencao*, p. 76; *Daguan Bencao*, Vol. 5; *Zhenghe Bencao*, p. 128)
