[Qinglang]
Taste: acrid, nature: neutral. Indicated for body pruritus (itching), thermal burns, abscess injuries, and necrosis of muscle tissue caused by scratching from scabies. Also known as Shizhu (Stone Pearl). Grows in lakes and marshes.
Precious treasures originate from the northwest. Its qi responds to yin and yang. Red hues float like an iron net; blue brilliance shines like the Kunlun Mountains. Pearls are not merely the charm of rivers and streams; jade is admired for its concealment in abysses. Offered as a treasure of Chu, it holds weight in the etiquette of the East.
The *Erya* records: Among the beauties of the northwest are the Linlang of the Kunlun Ruins. The *Gengxin Yuce* states that it grows within the cliffs of the South Sea, formed naturally by responding to the qi of yin and yang. Su Song stated: To harvest coral, one first sinks an iron net into the water bottom, through which Lang grows. It is bright and clear like the color of pearls, with a shape resembling densely planted vegetation. The *Liezi* records: Trees bearing pearls grow in clusters. Li Shizhen stated: Those growing in water are corals; those growing on mountains are Lang, which can be ground into beads, hence the name "Pearl." Lu Ji's fu says: Rivers possess charm because they harbor pearls. Zhuangzi said: Hide pearls in the abyss. The *Book of Tang* records: Chuzhou presented thirteen types of precious jades, the eighth being Langzhu. The *Rites of Zhou* records: Using blue to honor the East.
[Fuzi]
Taste: acrid, nature: warm. Indicated for wind-cold cough and rebellious qi, warming the middle jiao against pathogenic qi, treating metal weapon wounds (Jinchuang), breaking hard accumulations and blood masses (Xuejia). Treats cold-heat flaccidity, spastic knee pain, and inability to walk. Grows in mountain valleys.
Sprouting laterally from the mother root, accumulating during severe winter. The shape sits squarely; milk-like protrusions hang down, facilitating selection and harvesting. When medicinal power is weak, it shrinks into a fist-like form, growing sideways connected by veins. Many taboos and aversions exist; prayer to deities is often sought for acquisition.
Han Baosheng stated: Those growing laterally from Aconitum carmichaelii (Wutou) like scattered taro are called Fuzi. Tao Hongjing stated: Harvested in winter. Yang Tianhui recorded: The shape of Fuzi, with a squatting posture, regular nodes, and few angles, is superior; those with many nodes and mouse-milk-like protrusions are inferior. Harvested in the seventh month, called "Dry Water," shriveled and small, indicating immaturity.
Furthermore
[Wutou/Caowutou]
Taste: acrid, nature: warm. Indicated for wind-stroke with aversion to wind, shivering sweating, dispelling cold-damp bi syndrome, cough and rebellious qi, breaking accumulations and cold-heat. Its juice, when boiled, is named She Wang, capable of killing birds and beasts. Also known as Xidu, Jizi, Wu Hui. Grows in mountain valleys. (Currently referred to as Caowutou).
Chanting about Jin (Aconitum) like sweet malt syrup; names distinguished by head and beak. Stored in bags for toxic use; applied to arrowheads to meet prey. Treacherous concubines placed poison in meat; extraordinary men raised cups in defiance. Methods exhausted in brewing; no plowing involved.
Chen Cangqi stated: Also known as Jin. The *Shijing* says: Jin and bitter tea taste like syrup. Wu Pu stated: The shape resembles a crow's head, with two parts merging, like a crow's beak. This is the larger horn of Fuzi. The *Huainanzi* states: Among all things under heaven, nothing is more vicious than Jidu (Henbane/Aconite); good physicians store it in bags because it has uses. Tao Hongjing stated: Crushed juice applied to arrows kills birds and beasts within ten steps. Wang Ji stated: Sharp and swift. The *Guoyu* records: Liji placed Jin (poison) in meat. The *Seventeen Events of Emperor Ming* records: The Emperor told the eunuch: I heard that those who drink Jin juice and do not die are extraordinary men. Thus, he had the eunuch drink it. Zhang Guo drank two cups, feeling mellow and drunk. Li Shizhen stated: Roots, shoots, flowers, and fruits are the same as Sichuan Wutou. This is wild-growing, without brewing methods. Yang Tianhui recorded: Fields for planting Fuzi use fertile land each year, plowed once or twice.
