[Lu Huo]
Taste is bitter, nature is neutral. It governs gu poison (parasitic disease). It treats lower abdominal and lumbar pain in women accompanied by depression and dissatisfaction. It treats intestinal abscesses, scrofula, and qi-related ulcers. It grows in mountain valleys.
It grows in the fields where grain is cultivated. Its name is associated with Puerariae Radix (Ge Gen). The vines spread messily like vetches. The pods are textured like Sichuan pepper. The flowers are yellow with a moist fragrance, and the purple pollen drifts with the wind. It attracts deer to feed on it and can be widely used for cooking and seasoning.
(The character "Wan" is pronounced as "Wan".)
Tao Hongjing stated: One name for Puerariae Radix (Ge Gen) seedling is Lu Huo. Su Gong stated: The seedlings resemble vetches but have long trailing vines. Agricultural books record: Larger vetches are called Huai Dou. The commentary of Erya states: The leaves resemble soybean leaves, spreading and rooting, with yellow roots that have an aroma. Li Shizhen stated: It grows mostly in wheat fields, blooming pale pink-purple flowers in March, bearing small pods. Its seeds are as large as peppercorns, black in color, and edible both raw and cooked. Bean leaves are called "Huo"; because deer like to eat them, it got this name. Lu You's poem: "The fragrance of fermented bean paste and white salt allows for self-seasoning."
[Zao Xiu]
Taste is bitter, nature is slightly cold. It governs fright epilepsy. It treats symptoms such as shaking the head and manipulating the tongue. It clears hot qi in the abdomen. It treats various carbuncles, sores, genital erosion, and removes three types of parasites from the lower body. It eliminates snake venom. Another name is Chi Xiu. It grows in the valleys of Chuan region.
Like a turning chariot, Zao Xiu stops swiftly. Seven leaves on one stem, layered like three terraces. The palm moves, the dorsum bears weight; the head rises, the tongue sticks close. The air is clear and bright, the herb of longevity remains in old records.
Su Song stated: Another name is Zi He Che. Li Shizhen stated: It treats insect and snake venom, meaning "rest" or "stop," hence this name. Chen Jiamo stated: Another name is Qi Ye Yi Zhi Hua. Su Gong stated: Another name is Chong Tai. The leaves have two or three layers. Ri Hua Zi stated: It treats fetal wind, causing convulsions and spasms of hands and feet. Fu Shi Jing records: Zi He Che, cut the root into pieces, boil in water, and air-dry. Take three pills each time, at dawn, facing east and making a vow. After taking three doses continuously, one can achieve fasting from grains (Bi Gu). The vow says: "When the sky is clear and the golden rooster crows, I take medicine now to seek longevity."
[Shi Chang Sheng]
Taste is salty, nature is slightly cold. It governs alternating chills and fever. It treats malignant sores. Clears fire heat. Expels evil qi, inauspicious objects, and ghost poisons. Another name is Dan Cao. It grows in mountain valleys. Stones sometimes weather and crumble, yet this grass alone remains long-lasting. Its color surpasses the luster of juniper; the ferns nearby appear soft. Dantian has a different name; Yuanqi floats with light. The veins are fine and purple; what else is needed from medicinal substances?
Zhou Li records: Stones sometimes undergo weathering. Yibu Fangwu Ji records: Chang Sheng Cao grows on the shady side of mountains, with tall stems. The downy leaves resemble juniper in color and luster, remaining green through winter without withering.
Li Shizhen stated: Another name is Dan Sha Cao. Tao Hongjing stated: The leaves resemble ferns but are thin as dragon whiskers, black like glossy lacquer. Su Gong stated: People in the market use KT Jin Cao...
