The white part of the feces of a rooster. Collect it in the twelfth lunar month. Those from white chickens with black bones are even better.
Taste and nature: Slightly cold.
Main indications: Stroke-induced aphonia (loss of voice), as well as Baihu Feng (White Tiger Wind), Zei Feng (Thief Wind), and wind-bi syndrome causing blood stasis. Stir-fry with soybeans, soak in wine, and take to treat traumatic injuries.

Supplementary formulas:
For regurgitation and vomiting food: Select a black-boned chicken, do not feed it solid food, only provide water for four or five days. Then take two snakes (likely referring to *Bungarus multicinctus*, Five-step Snake), cut them into pieces with a bamboo knife, and feed them to the chicken. After the chicken excretes feces, collect them and take them warm.
For muscle spasms entering the abdomen: The patient's back and legs are stiff and straight, and the pulse is slightly wiry up and down. Use Ji Shi Bai (Rooster Feces White) ground into powder. Take one "cun bi" (a traditional measuring spoon) dose, taken warm with water.
For Yin-Du abdominal pain: Take one handful each of Ji Shi Bai (Rooster Feces White), Wu Dou (Black Soybean), and Di Fu Zi (Kochia Fruit), along with a clump of tangled hair. Stir-fry together until smoke rises, pour into a bowl of good-quality wine, soak, remove the dregs, and take hot. Pain will stop immediately.
For Shilin (Stone Strangury) pain: Sun-dry Ji Shi Bai (Rooster Feces White) until half dry, stir-fry until fragrant, grind into powder. Mix with Suan Jiang Tang (Sour Soup) and take one Fang Cun Bi dose. Take twice daily. Stones will be passed.
For Bie Jia (Turtle-like Mass) in heart and abdomen, old masses, and sudden onset of Zheng masses: Feed a white rooster with rice and collect its feces. Combine with urine and simmer in a clay vessel until yellow, then grind into powder. Take one Fang Cun Bi dose with warm wine, four to five times daily. Or mix with rice and eat. Stop when the mass dissipates.
For deafness and inability to hear: Stir-fry half a sheng of Ji Shi Bai (Rooster Feces White) and one sheng of Wu Dou (Black Soybean). Pour into two shengs of non-fermented wine, add while hot, and take to induce sweating. The ears may feel like drumming; do not be alarmed. All the above formulas work by utilizing the Qi of Xun Wood (Wind/Wood element) to exert function on Earth (Spleen/Stomach). However, since Xun Wood is hidden within Dui Metal, it requires the utilization of Wood's function within Earth. Therefore, it utilizes what is transformed and excreted by the intestines and stomach (the white color corresponds to Metal). Moreover, only the feces of male chickens have this white part, which clarifies the principle of Qi transformation, as Qi belongs to Yang.

*Su Wen* uses Ji Shi Li (Chicken Feces Wine) to treat Gu Zhang (Drum Distension/Bloating). It is not used merely for promoting urination or defecation. Its root lies in something prior to simple purgation. The Liver belongs to Wind-Wood. What it overcomes does not govern Qi, but they transform each other. [Text appears fragmented here regarding Qi stagnation]. Regarding the quality of eggs, those from yellow-feathered chickens are superior, followed by black-boned chickens.
Taste and nature: Sweet and neutral.
The egg white resembles Heaven; its Qi is clear, and its nature is slightly cold. The egg yolk resembles Earth; its Qi is turbid, and its nature is warm. Thus, the white can clear Heat and treat latent Heat; the yolk can nourish Blood. The whole egg combines both effects.

Supplementary formula:
For infantian dysentery and abdominal distension in children: Make a hole in an egg, insert one seed of Ba Dou (Croton Seed) and one qian of Qing Fen (Calomel/Calamine mixture). Wrap in fifty layers of paper, steam over rice three times. Let it cool after the fire goes out. Settle overnight. If the condition persists, apply for three days, changing once daily, until cured. This formula is foul-smelling and should not be used on noble persons, though no other formula matches its efficacy.
