Evodiae Fructus (remove closed pores, soak in salt water for one full day) 1 liang; Coptidis Rhizoma 6 liang (stir-fry with salt water).
Grind the above ingredients into powder. Form pills using the water-pellet method, or use rice paste to form pills. Take 30 pills per dose, swallowed with warm boiled water.
The meridian circulation follows the pattern of ascending on the left and descending on the right. The herbs utilize bitter and pungent flavors to descend lung qi, acting upon the ascending pathway; hence it is named "Zuo Jin" (Left Metal). Evodiae Fructus enters the Liver channel to disperse stagnant qi, and its downward-draining action is very rapid.
Lapis Flava (Qingmengshi) 1 liang (mix with 1 liang of Natrii Sulfas/Yanxiao, place in a clay pot, seal tightly with salt mud, dry in the sun, and calcine until the stone turns golden; stones without golden stars are not used).
Grind the above ingredients into fine powder. Form pills using the water-pellet method. Take 30-50 pills per dose, adjusting according to the patient's strength.
Qingmengshi is cold in nature and descends, belonging to Yin. Yanxiao is hot in nature and ascends, belonging to Yang. Using them together not only utilizes Yanxiao's ability to dissolve calculi but also leverages the heat generated by their interaction with Qingmengshi.
Poria (Yunfuling) 4 liang (remove skin, place in a container with Polyporus 4 qian 5 fen inside, boil for more than twenty times, dry in the sun, remove Polyporus, and dry completely).
Beeswax 4 liang (melt).
Form pills using beeswax, sized like bullets. Chew thoroughly when fasting on an empty stomach, wait for saliva to fill the mouth, then swallow slowly. Stop when urine becomes clear. Avoid vinegar, especially anger and overexertion.
Baopuzi states: Poria grows for thousands of years; small trees grow on top, resembling lotus flowers, named Weixi Zhi. For this famous prescription, one must select Yunfuling, as it has the function of reconnecting severed meridians and resolving phlegm-fire.
Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum (Biejia) 11 parts (roast); Colla Corii Asini (Ejiao) 3 parts (roast); Scarabaeus (Qiángláng) 6 parts (simmer); Apis Ceranae Fascia (Fengfang) 4 parts (roast); Mantis Ootheca (Tanchuang) 5 parts (simmer); Psocid (Shufu) 3 parts; Peripatus (Wei) 3 parts; Blatta Orientalis (Jinchong) 3 parts.

Biejia Jian Wan (Biejia Decoction Pill) uses various agile creatures from different realms, whether aquatic or terrestrial, flying or diving, ascending or descending, walking or hiding, all are included. One might fear that these insects disturb the blood, causing blood closure.
Reduce fever, intercept malaria, combining attack and tonification.
