Rhizoma et Cortex Ziziphi Spinosae (Diaozhang Genpi): Sweet and bitter in taste, cold in nature, non-toxic. It treats the alternating chills and fever of warm malaria (Wen Nue), as well as pathogenic factors causing acid hoarseness, and wards off inauspicious influences. Grows in the mountains and valleys of Huai Shan. (From *Xinxiu Bencao* p. 363, *Daguan Bencao* Vol. 30, *Zhenghe Bencao* p. 546.)
Bitter in taste, cold in nature, non-toxic. It treats Qi disturbance due to fright (Jing Qi), cold damage (Shanghan), abdominal pain with emaciation, pathogenic factors retained in the skin, cold hands and feet with lack of luster. Grows in the mountains and valleys of Yi Zhou. (Incompatible with Yuzha and Feilian.) (From *Xinxiu Bencao* p. 362, *Daguan Bencao* Vol. 30, *Zhenghe Bencao* p. 546.)
Sweet in taste, cold in nature, non-toxic. It treats alternating chills and fever in the skin, promotes the Qi circulation of the small intestine and bladder. Treats jaundice (Huangdan). For internal blockage from metal wounds (Jinchuang), it tonifies the middle and benefits Qi, and improves complexion. Grows on stones in mountain valleys.
Yuan Yi (moss growing on walls) is also called Wu Jiu, but its therapeutic applications differ and it does not belong to this category. (From *Daguan Bencao* Vol. 11, *Zhenghe Bencao* p. 278.)
Soushen: Pungent and bitter in taste, cold and slightly cold in nature, non-toxic. It treats heat in the body and skin, eliminates pathogenic factors, stops enuresis (Yi Ni). It promotes free flow of water passages and clears heat in the stomach. It directs Qi downward and can be used for bath decoctions. Also known as Ju Gu. Grows in the valleys of Jue'er River and old mound ruins in fields. Harvested in April. (Lulou serves as an assistant herb.) Li Yun states that Soushen is also known as Yang Lu, Mu Jing, or Kong Shu. The bark is white, hollow inside, and often has nodes. The fruit resembles Goji berry. It ripens in winter, is red in color, and tastes sweet and bitter. By later generations, no one recognized it; this is the true Soushen, not the Yang Lu climbing on fences. Li Dangzhi's description regarding Mu Jing was not significantly deviant, but his indiscriminate citation of Soushen is likely erroneous. He further stated that Soushen differs from Kong Shu. "Jue'er" is suspected to be a typo for "Xiong'er." Xiong'er is a mountain name, and there is no place called Jue'er. (From *Xinxiu Bencao* p. 161, *Daguan Bencao* Vol. 14, *Zhenghe Bencao* p. 353.)
Treats metal wounds (Jinchuang) and stops bleeding.
Produced in Guiyang, Shaoling, and other places, also called Niao Zhang. Physicians do not use it, but common people recognize it. Scraping the root bark powder to treat metal wounds effectively stops bleeding and promotes healing. There is another herb resembling Ye Langya, with a pungent and foul odor, named Di Song, commonly called Liu Cao. Harvested on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, dried and powdered, it also treats metal wounds, said to have been used by Liu. (From *Xinxiu Bencao* p. 160, *Daguan Bencao* Vol. 14, *Zhenghe Bencao* p. 349.)
Cortex Zelkovae (Jushu Pi): Greatly cold in nature. Treats epidemic headaches (Shixing Toutong) and heat accumulation in the stomach and intestines.
Found everywhere in mountains, the bark resembles Dalwood (Tan) and Locust tree (Huai), leaves resemble Oak (Li) and Quercus dentata (Hu). People recognize and use it frequently. Scrape the inner bark, remove the outer layer, decoct and take orally. In summer...
