[Fa (Human Hair)]
The taste is bitter, and the nature is warm. It primarily treats five types of Lin syndrome (strangury/dysuria), Guan Ge (blockage between the upper and lower burners, characterized by vomiting and retention of urine/stool), promotes urination and clears the water passages, treats pediatric Xian syndrome (epilepsy) and adult Jing disease (spasms/convulsions), and restores the Shen (Spirit) and facilitates transformation.
Commentary: The Shuo Wen Jie Zi states: "Fa" refers to the root of hair, also known as "Di" (wig/false hair), also known as "Ti" (shaved hair), sometimes written as "Ti". The Mao Shi states: "Bu Xie Di ye," and the Zheng Jian states: "Di, Ti ye." The Yi Li states: "The mistress wears Xi," with the note stating that "Bei Xi" is read as "Di." In ancient times, hair from individuals of low status or those subjected to punishment was shaved off to be used as wigs for women, hence the name "Di." Li Dangzhi stated: This is the hair of young boys. According to Han dynasty sources: Fa Di likely refers to hair shaved from criminals or young boys. The Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, out of compassion, did not use hair taken directly from living persons, but rather used the remaining shaved hair. Some medical practitioners even used Tian Ling Gai (human skull cap), harming dry bones, yet ultimately failing to cure diseases. This practice was unknown to the ancients.
The above belongs to the Human category, one type, consistent with older texts.
[Long Gu (Fossilized Bones/Dragon Bone)]
The taste is sweet, and the nature is neutral. It primarily treats Gui Zhu (ghostly infusion/chronic wasting disease) in the heart and abdomen, Jing Wu Lao Kui (pathogens caused by spirits/evil entities), Ke Ni (coughing and adverse Qi flow), Xie Li Nong Xue (dysentery with pus and blood), Lou Xia (metrorrhagia/non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) and Zheng Jia Jian Jie (hard abdominal masses) in women, and Xiao Er Re Qi Jing Xian (pediatric convulsions/epilepsy due to heat).
Long Chi (Dragon Teeth): Primarily treats Jing Xian (convulsions/epilepsy) and Dian Ji Kuang Zou (manic running/psychosis) in children and adults, Xin Xia Jie Qi (Qi stagnation below the heart/epigastrium), inability to breathe, various Jing diseases (spasms), and kills Jing Wu (spiritual pathogens). Long-term consumption lightens the body, opens communication with the Shen (Spirit), and prolongs life. It grows in mountain valleys.
Wu Pu stated: Long Gu is produced in the dark valleys of Jin territory where large waters pass; it is the bone of dead dragons. Those that are greenish-white are of good quality. It is harvested in the twelfth lunar month, or at any time. Long Gu is incompatible with Gan Qi (Dried Lacquer), Shu Jiao (Sichuan Pepper/Zanthoxyli Pericarpium), and Li Shi (Magnesitum). Regarding Long Chi, Shen Nong and the Li family considered it to be very cold in nature, treating Jing Xian (convulsions/epilepsy); long-term consumption lightens the body (excerpted from Tai Ping Yu Lan and Da Guan Ben Cao).
Ming Yi Bie Lu stated: It is produced in Jin territory, as well as in caves near rocks and water banks on Mount Tai where dead dragons are located; there is no fixed time for harvesting.
Commentary: Fan Zi Ji Ran stated: Long Gu is produced in Hedong.
[She Xiang (Moschus/Musk)]
The taste is acrid, and the nature is warm. It primarily repels evil Qi, kills Gui Jing Wu (spiritual pathogens), treats Wen Nue (warm malaria), Gu Du (poison from venomous insects/parasites), Xian Jing (epilepsy and spasms), and eliminates San Chong (three types of intestinal parasites). Long-term consumption eliminates pathogenic factors, prevents dreaming during sleep, and avoids Meng Yan (nightmares/sleep paralysis). It is produced in river valleys.
Ming Yi Bie Lu stated: It is produced in the mountains of Zhongtai, Yizhou, and Yongzhou, and is harvested during the Spring Equinox. Fresh specimens are more effective.
Commentary: The Shuo Wen Jie Zi states: She (musk deer) resembles a small Mi (elk), has fragrance in its navel, and is a black Zhang (roe deer) (Tai Ping Yu Lan cites three additional characters). The Er Ya states: "She Fu Jun Zu." Guo Pu stated: Its feet resemble those of a Jun (roe deer), and it possesses fragrance.
