Bai Shi (Platycladi Semen):
The flavor is sweet, and the nature is neutral. It primarily treats palpitations and fright. It calms the five Zang organs, benefits Qi, and dispels dampness and bi-syndrome. Long-term consumption makes one radiant and beautiful, sharpens hearing and vision, prevents hunger and aging, lightens the body, and prolongs life. It grows in mountain valleys.
It inherits Yin energy and points west, relying on the eastern尊贵 position. The fruit clusters like stars, splitting open after frost like abundant wheat grains. Its fragrance is subtle and pleasant. When processed, it contains warmth. Chisongzi often consumed it, comparable to the evergreen nature of pine and cypress.
Xu's eulogy states: Inheriting Yin and absorbing Yang, it embodies the essence of the Six Scripts. Although all trees belong to Yang, the cypress points west towards Yin. Famous physicians say: Those growing on Mount Tai are particularly excellent. The Old Book of Tang records: Its position corresponds to the eastern尊贵 seat. Zhang's poem reads: Plucking fruits, purple sleeves light. Fan Chengda's poem says: Hanging down like ten thousand stars. Li Shizhen said: The fruit forms a ball, splitting into four after frost, containing several seeds inside, as large as wheat grains. Xiao Zhi's poem reads: After frost, the green nourishes more. Du Fu's poem reads: With a clear heart, one smells the subtle fragrance. Su Shi's poem reads: Sitting facing the cypress seed, smelling its fragrance. Lei Xiao discussed: To use Baizi, first soak in wine, then simmer over low heat until it becomes a paste. Yang Kan's fu reads: Pepper and cinnamon contain warmth. The Biography of Immortals records: Chisongzi liked to eat Platycladi Semen. The Analects records: Only in the cold of winter does one know that the pine and cypress are the last to shed their leaves.
Fu Ling (Poria):
The flavor is sweet, and the nature is neutral. It primarily treats rebellious Qi in the chest and hypochondrium, worry, anger, fright, evil qi, palpitations, knotting pain in the epigastrium, alternating chills and fever, vexation and fullness, cough and rebellious Qi, dry mouth and tongue, and difficult urination. Long-term consumption calms the soul, nourishes the spirit, prevents hunger, and prolongs life. It is also known as Fu Tu. It grows in mountain valleys.
Snow pellets condense in late autumn; roots seek night-lighting places. The cloud-like powder core is firm in the center, wrapped by red fibrous strands. Piled up like turtles, squatting like birds. Embracing wood to harmonize the spirit, dwelling peacefully without disturbance.
Li Yi's poem reads: Forming late-autumn snow pellets below. Records of the Grand Historian record: Poria grows under Cuscuta. At night, remove the Cuscuta, mark the spot with a candle, and dig it up at dawn. Wu Rong's poem reads: Dawn boiling in the golden cauldron, clouds ripple like powder. Wang Wei's praise reads: Red fibers gather above. Zhang's poem reads: Turtles and ducks squat, naturally piled. Guangyun explains: Lei describes spreading wings. Su Shi's fu reads: Like animals squatting. Famous physicians say: Poria embracing the root is named Fushen. Yang Jiong's fu reads: Preserving nature and harmonizing the spirit. Zuo Zhuan records: Each has its place, virtue is used without disturbance.
