Sweet in taste, warm in nature. It primarily treats leukorrhea with foul blood (menstrual bleeding with dark clots), alternating chills and fever, and fright-induced epilepsy (epileptic conditions triggered by fear). It tonifies Qi, strengthens willpower, promotes tooth growth, and delays aging. The horn primarily treats malignant sores and carbuncles (severe abscesses), expels evil qi, and resolves retained blood within the Yin aspect (blood stasis deep within the body).
The horn is known as "Xian Rong" (Immortal Velvet) and is an essential ingredient in the medicine cabinet. In spring, the emerging velvet resembles the purple of an eggplant, its fragrance dyeing the jade-like redness. Breaking the branched antlers might be mistaken for horse horns; their unique shape earns them the title of dragon horns. How can they untie bindings? Because they nurture temperament, allowing one to remain composed.
*Qing Yi Lu* records: Deer in the Huaqing Palace were called "Jiao Xian" (Horn Immortals) by people. *Tan Hui* records: The ten play deer of Emperor Wuzong of Tang were called "Rong Ke" (Velvet Guest). The *Book of Tang: Biography of Yuan Xingchong* records: Yuan Xingchong said, "I wish to serve as a medicinal herb." Di Renjie replied, "You are indeed a material in my medicine cabinet." *Pi Ya* records: Young deer velvet is called "Qie Zi Rong" (Eggplant Velvet) due to its rarity and value; hard velvet resembles red jade. At sixty years old, it must grow "Qiong Jiao" (Jade Horns). *Xia Tang Lei Han* records: In the Jingchu region, deer resemble horses; when shedding antlers, they are indistinguishable from afar. *Gan Ning Ji* records: When deer play with swimming dragons, they grow abnormal horns, hence deer can be called dragons. Su Zhe's poem asks, "He yuan jie zhi" (How can the reins be untied?). *Pi Ya* records: Deer are immortal beasts that naturally find joy in nurturing their nature.
It treats lower abdominal obstruction of blood, pain caused by blood stasis, and leukorrhea with blood in women. Deer marrow tonifies the middle Jiao and fills the bone marrow. Long-term consumption increases longevity. Deer gallbladder can be used to make pills.
The deer's nature is bright and purely Yang (associated with the Li trigram representing Fire and Yang). Ox horns are curved and bent. They consist of the essence of tendons and the remnants of bones, enduring wind and frost. Essence condenses in the center, while the exterior requires polishing like uncut jade. Extracting gallbladder bile for topical application causes pots to ring and frogs to fall silent (*Li Dao Tiao Tu, Fu Ming Wa Que*). Li Qiao's memorial states, "Huan bing yu chun li zhi chu" (Shining brightly among purely Yang animals). Gao Qi's ci writes, "Er niu jiao wan huan" (Your ox horns are curved). The *Book of Han: Biography of Zhu Yun* records: Zhu Yun broke his sword's pommel/horn. Li Shizhen stated: Horns are the essence of tendons, the remainder of bones, and the refinement of the horn itself. Shi Jie's ode writes, "Shuang bo feng lie" (Peeling by frost, cracking by wind). Zhang Heng's fu writes, "Jie jing yuan you" (Condensing essence for distant travel). *Yi Lin* writes, "Jian xin zhong jian" (Establishing firmness in the heart). Huang Tingjian's poem writes, "Gong pu yuan liang yu" (Polishing the rough jade hoping for fine jade). *Mencius* writes, "Fei you wai shuo wo ye" (Not imposed from without). *Huainanzi* records: Applying ox gall to a hot pot causes it to ring. *Gou Lou Shu* records: Frogs do not croak when encountering ox gall.
Salty in taste, warm in nature. It primarily treats blindness (specifically *Qing Mang*, often referring to optic atrophy or night blindness), improves vision, kills scabies mites, stops cold-type diarrhea, wards off evil spirits, tigers, and wild wolves, and calms palpitations and fright. Long-term consumption pacifies the mind, tonifies Qi, lightens the body, and prolongs life. It grows in rivers and valleys. (Refers to female sheep).
Do not seek castration. Thoughts arise. Ramming fences and struggling, hanging pods cause suspicion. Fake rhino horn belts, shrinking tin ash rises. Orange green overlaps, who planted them in the north desert?
*Shi Jing Jian* records: "Bi chu tong " (Causing the ram to lose its horns). Threatening with non-existent things. *Shi Jing*: "Er yang lai si, qi jiao ." *I Ching*: "Di yang chu fan, lei qi jiao" (A male ram hits the fence, trapping its horns). *Pi Ya* records: Male rams have a nature prone to butting, hence the character derives from the abbreviated form of "di" (butt). *Southern History* records: Jiangdong referred to ram horns as soap pods. Bao Zhao's poem: "Bu shou wai xian cai" (Not subjecting oneself to external suspicion). *Yi Bu Fang Wu Lue Ji* records: Dragon ram horns have a black base with white stripes, used for belt buckles, confusing their use with rhino horn. *Dan Fang Jian Yuan* records: Ram horn ash shrinks. He refers to tin from Hezhou. Originating from Hezhou. Han Dynasty Rao Ge: "Dang feng yang qi hui" (Let the wind scatter the ash). Yang Yun's *Za Yong Zhu* notes: Orange green sheep may have four or six horns, called Die Jiao Yang (Overlapping Horn Sheep), with horns facing each other. *Chuo Geng Lu* records: Planting ram horns in the northern desert can produce sheep. Jia Dao's poem: "Wu qiong cao shu xi shui zai" (Who planted the infinite grass and trees in the past?).
