[Song said] For tiger bone, the head and tibia are used; those with a yellow color are superior. When using various parts of the tiger's body, male tigers are preferred over females. Tigers killed by poisoned arrows must not be used in medicine, as their poison permeates the bones and blood, which can harm humans. [Shizhen said] When using any bones from a tiger, they should be crushed to remove the marrow, then coated with suet (animal fat), wine, or vinegar, according to specific methods, and roasted over charcoal fire until yellow before being used in medicine.
[Song said] Tiger eyes (Hu Jing) are often counterfeit; only those obtained personally by hunting are genuine. [Anonymous said] When preparing tiger eyes, one must inquire of the hunter: whether they are from male or female, old or young, or if the animal was killed. Those that died from poisoning should not be used, as they can cause harm. Tiger eyes should be soaked in raw sheep's blood overnight, then drained and dried over low heat, and ground into powder for use. [Shizhen said] The *Qianjin Fang* treats manic disorders with Hu Jing Tang (Tiger Eye Decoction) and Hu Jing Wan (Tiger Eye Pill), both prepared by soaking in wine and roasting dry.
[Anonymous said] When processing rhino horn, do not mix it with gallbladder. Dried elephant gall has a green bamboo-patterned mottling on its surface, is smooth and glossy, and has a slightly sweet taste. When incorporating it into medicine, do not mix it directly with other herbs; it must first be ground into powder, and then mixed with other ingredients. (Note: This section is absent in the *Daguan Bencao* and *Zhenghe Bencao*.)
[Tao Hongjing said] Only naturally shed horns from male rhinos are suitable for medicinal use. If the material consists of sliced pieces or pre-made artifacts, they have likely been steamed or boiled and are unsuitable. [Song said] Regarding the use of rhino horn...

[Anonymous said] Upon obtaining the horn, for every jin (approx. 500g), add fourteen raw Sichuan peppercorns, refine them together, and store in a vessel.
The *Shenghui Fang* states: Bear paws are difficult to cook until soft; boiling them together with wine, vinegar, and water will result in a texture as large as a leather ball when cooked through.
[Anonymous said] When using deer antler, there is a type called "Divine Sheep Horn" which is very long, having twenty-four nodes, with a natural wooden core inside. This horn possesses divine power, equivalent to that of a thousand oxen. When processing... further grinding... [Text appears fragmented]
*Bielu* states: Collect during April and May when the horns are shed, dry in the shade, and ensure they are dry when used. [Gong said] Deer antlers harvested in summer and dried in the shade yield very little (one out of a hundred), and they are prone to spoilage; it is best to split them and dry them over fire. [Anonymous said] When preparing deer antler, soak it in the fresh juice of *Polygonatum sibiricum* (Huangjing) for two days and nights, drain, slice, roast, and grind for use, to prevent... brittleness... grinding...
