[Baiying]
The taste is sweet, and the nature is cold. It primarily treats alternating chills and fever (Hanre) and jaundice (Danhu). It can eliminate thirst associated with Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst syndrome), tonify the Middle Jiao (Spleen and Stomach), and benefit Qi. Long-term consumption makes the body light and extends longevity. It is also known as Gucai. It grows in mountain valleys.
Baiying covers like a curtain and has the function of expelling wind pathogens. Its vines have five lobes and wind around other plants. The leaves spread and are beautiful in spring; the stems are lush in summer, causing a sense of sultriness; the flowers bloom brilliantly in autumn; the roots coil deep in the soil at winter's end. The fruits are interspersed like pearls, red and bright, clarifying the eyes.
Chen Cangqi stated: It is also called Baimu. Li Shizhen stated: Commonly known as Paifengzi, referring to its efficacy. Su Gong stated: It is a creeping plant with long leaves having five lobes.
Famous physicians stated: Collect the leaves in spring, the stems in summer, the flowers in autumn, and the fruits in winter. Pei Cheng wrote in poetry: "Leaves first unfolding reflecting in the forest." Bai Juyi wrote in poetry: "Spring beauty, bright scenery, grass and trees shining." Zhang Xie wrote in fu: "Lush stems dense..." Xie Lingyun wrote in fu: "Summer cool, winter cold and heat." Shen Yue wrote in poetry: "Gazing at high autumn through idle curtains." Cai Yong wrote in poetry: "Seeing again the end of winter." Guo Pu stated: The fruits are red like ear beads. Su Gong stated: It is also called Gui Mucao. Han Ju wrote in poetry: "Only keeping the eyes clear."
[Baihao]
The taste is sweet, and the nature is neutral. It primarily treats evil Qi in the Five Zang organs, Bi syndrome caused by wind-cold-dampness. It tonifies the Middle Jiao and benefits Qi. It promotes hair growth and turns hair black. It treats Xin Xuan (a sensation of emptiness or palpitation in the heart) and frequent hunger despite small food intake. Long-term consumption makes the body light, improves hearing and vision, and delays aging. It grows in mountains and marshes.
Retaining green and returning white, it is not E Zhu but fragrant Hao grass. Autumn winds rustle, cold waters stretch far. Polygonum condenses dew. It serves as miscellaneous stream vegetation for offerings. Wu people season with sour flavors. I envy my own clear happiness as a glutton.
Su Gong stated: Baihao grows everywhere. It is thicker than Qinghao, and by autumn, it appears whiter than other Hao grasses. The "Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of Han" records: "Return white, retain green." The "Classic of Poetry" says: "Not E Zhu, but fragrant Hao." Yan Yanzhi wrote in poetry: "Autumn... Winter has not yet arrived." Yang Jiong wrote in fu: "The wind blows soughing and rustling." Shen Yue wrote in poetry: "Opening lapels to bathe in cold water." Su Shi wrote in poetry: "Distant stream water rushes following people." The "Classic of Poetry" says: "Dew drops fall heavily." The "Zuo Zhuan" records: "Vegetation from streams, brooks, ponds, and islets." Plants like Ping, Fan, Yun, and Zao can be offered to spirits and gods. The commentary on "Da Zhao" states: Hao Lou. Wu people are skilled at preparing sour vegetables into minced relish. Xu Youfu wrote in poetry: "Perhaps envying my gluttony is a pure blessing."
[Chijian]
The taste is pungent, and the nature is warm. It primarily kills ghost essences, Gu poison, and evil Qi. Long-term consumption benefits Qi strength, promotes genital growth, makes the body robust and strong, lightens the body, and increases lifespan. It is also called Limu. It is also called Guidu You. It grows in rivers and valleys.
It stands out distinctively from Chizhi. The stalk stands straight like an arrow. Horns multiply like sheep. Skin contains dragon manifestations. Seeds return to tubes like bean grains. Roots spread like mats like taro tubers. It sways even when the wind stops, deserving to bid farewell to summer fans.
Xie Lingyun wrote in fu: "Standing distinct from previous chapters." Zhen Quan stated: It is also called Chijianzhi. Zhang Lei wrote in poetry: "Left stalks stand like arrows." "Dream Pool Essays" records: The flesh is firm and white, like the color of sheep horns. The "Classic of Poetry" says: "Its horns..." Liu Shang wrote in poetry: "Border horses and multiplying sheep face frost and sleet." Liu Zongyuan wrote in prose: "Benevolence contained in the skin." "Xiaojing Yuanshenqi" records: "When virtue reaches water springs, then yellow dragons appear." Su Song stated: Its skin is yellowish-white, named Longpi. The seeds are bean-sized, not falling even in summer, penetrating into the stem, growing secretly underground. The root resembles a taro tuber, with twelve satellite roots surrounding it. Li Shizhen stated: Commonly known as Huantongzi. Li Sunzhi wrote in poetry: "Covering the ground like a spread mat." Tao Hongjing stated: It does not move when there is wind; it sways spontaneously when there is no wind. Li Yi wrote in poetry: "Cool pavilion bids farewell to summer fans."
