小肠膀胱属太阳， 本羌活是本乡。三焦胆与肝胞络，少阳厥阴柴胡强。太阳阳明并足
胃，葛根白芷升麻当。太阴肺脉中焦起，白芷升麻葱白乡。脾经少与肺部异，升麻兼之白芍
详。少阴心经独活主，肾经独活加桂良。
人参芍药与沙参，细辛玄参及紫参，苦参丹参并前药，一见藜芦便杀人。白芨白蔹并半
夏，栝蒌贝母五般真，莫见乌头与乌喙，逢之一反疾如神。大戟芫花并海藻，甘遂以上反甘
草。蜜蜡莫与葱根睹，云母休见石决明。
硫黄元是火之精，朴硝一见便相争。水银莫与砒霜见，野狼毒最怕密陀僧。巴豆性烈最为
上，却与牵牛不顺情。丁香莫与郁金见，牙硝难合京三棱。川乌草乌不顺犀，人参又忌五灵
脂。官桂善能调冷气，石脂相见便跷蹊。
斑水蛭及虻虫，乌头附子与天雄。野葛水银并巴豆，牛膝薏苡与蜈蚣。三棱代赭芫花
麝，大戟蛇脱黄雌雄。牙硝芒硝牡丹桂，槐花牵牛皂荚同。半夏南星并通草，瞿麦干姜桃仁
通。 砂干漆蟹甲爪，地胆茅根都不中。
枳壳陈皮并半夏，茱萸野狼毒及麻黄，六般之药宜陈久，人用方知功效良。陈皮须用隔年
陈，麻黄三载始堪行。大黄必用锦纹者，不过三年力不全。医家不用新荆芥，木贼从来不用
鲜。芫花本是阴中物，不怕如丝烂似绵。
The Small Intestine and Bladder belong to the Taiyang (Greater Yang) channel; Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) is the primary drug for this region. The Sanjiao (Triple Burner), Gallbladder, and Pericardium belong to the Shaoyang (Lesser Yang) and Jueyin (Terminal Yin) channels; Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) is potent for these two channels. For the Taiyang, Yangming (Bright Yang), and Foot-Yangming Stomach channels, Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix), Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), and Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) are appropriate. The Taiyin Lung meridian originates from the Middle Jiao; Baizhi, Shengma, and Congbai (Allii Fistulosi Bulbus) are suitable for this channel. The selection of drugs for the Spleen channel differs from that of the Lung; Shengma should be combined with Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) for detailed consideration. Duhuo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix) governs the Shaoyin Heart channel; for the Kidney channel, Duhuo combined with Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) or Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex) is beneficial.
Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix), Shashen (Glehniae Radix), Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), Xuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix), and Zishen (Adenophorae Radix), along with Kushen (Sophorae Flavescentis Radix) and Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix), when encountered with Lülü (Veratri Nigrum Rhizoma), will cause death. Baiji (Bletillae Rhizoma), Bailian (Ampelopsis Radix), and Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), along with Gualou (Trichosanthis Fructus) and Beimu (Fritillariae Cirrhosae Bulbus)—these five substances—must not be seen together with Wutou (Aconiti Radix) and Wu Hui (Aconiti Radix lateralis preparata); encountering them causes a contrary reaction, with toxicity striking swiftly like a spirit. Daji (Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix), Yuanhua (Genkwa Flos), and Haizao (Sargassum), as well as Gansui (Kansui Radix), are contrary to Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma). Mila (Beeswax) should not meet Conggen (Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus); Yunmu (Muscovite) should not appear with Shijueming (Concha Arcae).
Huang (Realgar) is originally the essence of fire; Puxiao (Mirabilitum) contends immediately upon meeting it. Shuiyin (Hydrargyrum) must not meet Pishuang (Arsenici Trioxidum); Yelangdu (Daphnes Genkwei Cortex) fears Miduoseng (Litharge) the most. Badou (Crotonis Fructus) has a fierce nature and is supreme, yet it disagrees with Qianniu (Pharbitidis Semen). Dingxiang (Caryophylli Flos) must not meet Yujin (Curcumae Longae Radix); Yanxiao (Mirabilitum refined) is difficult to combine with Jing Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma). Chuanwu (Aconiti Radix lateralis preparata) and Caowu (Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix) do not accord with Xijiao (Rhinocerotis Cornu); Renshen also avoids Wulingzhi (Trogopterori Faeces). Guigui (Cinnamomi Cortex) is good at regulating cold qi, but meets Shizhi (Haematitum) in an irregular manner.
Banmao (Myodes), Shuizhi (Hirudo), and Mengchong (Tabanus larva); Wutou, Fuzi (Aconiti Radix lateralis preparata), and Tianxiong (Aconiti Radix lateralis preparata major); Yege (Gelsemii Caulis), Shuiyin, and Badou; Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix), Yiyiren (Coicis Semen), and Wugong (Scolopendra); Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma), Daizhe (Haematitum), Yuanhua, She (Moschus), Daji, Shetuo (Ophichthus Skin), Huang Cixiong (Rooster Comb or specific animal part); Yanxiao, Mangxiao (Mirabilitum), Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex), Gui (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Huaihua (Sophorae Flos), Qianniu, and Zaojia (Gleditsiae Sinensis Spina) are mutually incompatible. Banxia, Nanxing (Arisaematis Cum Bile), and Tongcao (Tetrapanacis Medulla); Qumai (Dianthi Herba), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), and Taoren (Persicae Semen) are also incompatible. Sharen (Amomi Fructus), Ganqi (Dammar Resina), Xiezhazhao (Carapax Trionycis), Didan (Euphorbiae Humifusae Herba), and Maogen (Imperatae Rhizoma) are all unsuitable.
Zhike (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium aged), and Banxia; Zhuyu (Corni Fructus), Yelangdu, and Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba)—these six drugs are suitable for long-term aging; only after use does one know their efficacy is excellent. Chenpi must be aged for one year; Mahuang requires three years before it is suitable for use. Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) must possess "brocade patterns" (internal vascular bundles); if not aged over three years, its power is incomplete. Physicians do not use fresh Jingjie (Schizonepetae Spica); Muzei (Equiseti Herba) is never used fresh. Yuanhua is essentially a yin substance; it is not afraid of being soft and cotton-like (referring to its texture/stability when aged).
