[Kong Gong Nie]
Taste: Pungent, Warm.
Indications: Mainly treats food stagnation and indigestion (Shang Shi Bu Hua). Resolves pathological accumulation and Qi stagnation (Xie Jie Qi). Treats malignant sores, carbuncles, and hemorrhoids (E Chuang Ju Zhi). Benefits the nine orifices (Jiu Qiao). Promotes lactation (Xia Ru Zhi). Also known as Tong Shi (Passing Stone). Grows in mountain valleys.
Stones hanging with sprouts. In ancient times called "Wang Shi Gong" (Mr. Nobody). Horn-like structures standing densely. Chambers are cleverly hollow. Waking up quickly from sleep. Voice is clear and resonant. Like tuning a Ling Yue (spiritual flute). Breath fills the body during respiration.
Li Shizhen said: The orifices are open and clear, hanging attached to the stone like the sprouts of a tree. Colloquially mispronounced as "Kong Gong". The *Book of Han* records that people from Qi referred to "Wang Shi Gong," meaning "there is no such person." The *Book of Song* records someone asking why he was addressed as "Gong" (Lord/Mr.). Tao Hongjing stated: The "Nie" is as large as the horns of cattle or sheep, two or three chi long. The *Classic of Poetry* says: "Its horns stand dense." Li Shizhen added: "Nie" refers to the chambers of Stalactite (Zhong Ru). The *Analects* says: "Empty and void." The *Zhuangzi* says: "Deeply asleep, suddenly awake." Famous physicians stated: It is often desired for sleep when treating food stagnation diseases. Zhen Quan stated: It can make the voice round and bright. The stele by Jiang Zong mentions "Old surprise at the Ling Yue." Su Shi's poem says: "External desires gradually decrease, filled from within."
[Yin Nie]
Taste: Pungent, Warm.
Indications: Mainly treats traumatic blood stasis due to injuries (Lan Shang Yu Xue). Diarrhea and dysentery (Xie Li). Alternating chills and fever (Han Re). Scrofula (Shu Liu). Masses, accumulations, and Qi stagnation (Zheng Jia Jie Qi). Also known as Jiang Shi (Ginger Stone). Grows in mountain valleys.
Looking up to swallow flying roots. Latent and sprouting hidden shoots. Fingers arranged like coiled ginger. Meridians flow smoothly, milk ducts unblock. Beds set with square rafters. Flowers flutter like frost and snow. Earthy fat congeals. Clears heat and dissipates fire.
Famous physicians stated: Yin Nie is the root of Stalactite (Zhong Ru). *Cloud Drawer Seven Signs* mentions "Looking up to eat flying roots." Li Shizhen said: Yin means hidden. It grows on stones, appearing faintly like tree sprouts. It also resembles fresh ginger, with new buds growing instantly, shaped like spread fingers. Su Gong said: The roots coil and knot like ginger. *Lüshi Chunqiu* states: Blood vessels desire smooth circulation. Han Yu's writings state: The large ones are pillars, the small ones are rafters. Su Gong said: On stone beds, water dripping from Stalactite condenses and accumulates like bamboo shoots. Over time, it gradually connects with the stalactites above to form columns. Stone flowers and milk droplets fall on the stone, scattering like frost and snow. All these share the same efficacy as Yin Nie. Earth-grown Yin Nie, when taken, has the same effect as Stalactite but does not cause heat. Famous physicians stated: It grows in the shade of soil on high mountains, white in color like fat. The Preface by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang mentions: Having tasted dishes that dissipate heat.
