[Xiong Zhi (Bear Fat)]
Taste: Sweet; Nature: Slightly Cold. Indications: Wind-bi syndrome with numbness and insensitivity, tendon spasm, accumulations in the five zang organs and abdomen, alternating chills and fever, emaciation, head sores and alopecia capitis (white baldness), facial skin disorders. Long-term use strengthens the will, reduces hunger, and lightens the body. Habitat: Mountain valleys.
The display of majesty illustrates the allusion of Gonghou; wisdom understands the meaning of Shiguan. Guiding qi hangs like branches; hibernating caves are warm. White as jade and congealed like butter; fat flows, full as frost. Burning to illuminate, competing for brightness; the short lamp stand is no longer accompanied.
*Zhou Li* records: During the Great Archery ceremony, feudal lords provide the Bear Target. Li Shizhen states: Bears walking in mountains, even over thousands of li, must have places to lie hidden; people in the mountains call this "Xiong Guan" (Bear Lodge). *Shi Jing* says: "Go to your lodge." *Han Shu* commentary notes: Ancient immortals practiced Daoyin (guiding and pulling exercises), similar to bears climbing branches and hanging themselves. *Youyang Zazu* records: Hibernating without eating in winter. Tao Hongjing states: Xiong Zhi is the back fat, white as jade. Lu You's ci: "Snow warms, butter congeals." Shen Yue's poem: "In past days, jade and frost were full." Rihua Zi states: Lamp smoke damages human eyes. Cheng Ju's poem: "Who advises lighting it? Candles burn, competing for brightness." Lu You's poem: "Let me keep company with the short lamp stand."
[Bai Jiao / Baijiao]
Taste: Sweet; Nature: Neutral. Indications: Internal injury from exhaustion, severe fatigue, lower back pain, emaciation; tonifies the middle jiao and boosts qi; treats amenorrhea due to blood closure and infertility in women; stops pain and calms the fetus. Long-term use lightens the body and prolongs life. Also known as Lujiaojao (Deer Antler Glue).
Banlong sheds its antlers when the cicadas begin to sing. The texture is tough and fine; freshly boiled with active fire. Silver paste is crystal clear and fine; nectar-like liquid congeals fresh. Moisturizes and transforms; repels aging and preserves years.
*Danliao Fang* records: Deer is also called Banlong. *Li Ji* records: In mid-summer, deer antlers shed, and cicadas start singing. Xie Yan's fu: "Beholding its brilliance..." Shen Yue's poem: "Wind at the tips has a tough quality." Su Shi's song: "Do you not see, when Mr. Li was fond of guests, he fried it himself. It is precious to use active fire to draw out new spring water." Hao Jing's poem: "Chopping open fine snow, the silver paste is bright." Li Bai's poem: "One meal swallows nectar." Bao Zhao's poem: "Frosty whiteness congeals fresh." *I Ching*: "Heaven and Earth..." *Chunqiu Yuanmingbao*: "Opening spirit, moisturizing transformation, Luoyang." *Qielan Ji*: "Lone pine can indeed repel aging; half a stone can also preserve years."
