Liuji Nu Grass (Artemisia japonica)
Bitter in taste, warm in nature. Primarily treats abdominal distension caused by blood stasis. Excessive consumption may induce diarrhea. Grows in the Jiangnan region.
The *Tang Bencao* annotation states: The stem resembles *Artemisia argyi* (Mugwort), three to four chi tall; leaves are lanceolate like those of *Houttuynia cordata* (Fish Mint); seeds resemble barnyard grass but finer; several spikelets occur on one stem; leaves are alternate.
(Later appended) Minister Yuxi et al. respectfully consulted the *Shu Ben Tu Jing*: Leaves resemble chrysanthemum, four to five chi high, flowers white. Fruits are yellowish-white and spike-like, belonging to the mugwort category. Currently produced in Yuezhou. Harvested in summer, dried in the sun. Ri Hua Zi stated: Liuji Nu is non-toxic. Treats heart and abdominal pain, directs qi downward, resolves water swelling and blood qi stagnation, unblocks menstrual obstructions in women, and stops watery diarrhea from cholera. Also known as Liuji Nu. Collected in the sixth, seventh, and eighth months.
The *Tu Jing* states: Liuji Nu grass grows in Jiangnan; currently also found in Hezhong Prefecture, Mengzhou, and Hanzhong. Sprouts in spring; stems resemble *Artemisia argyi*, with four distinct ridges, two to three chi high. Leaves are green and willow-like; tiny yellowish-white flowers bloom in April, resembling *Sedum aizoon* (Stonecrop); fruits resemble millet but finer in July, several spikelets per stem, alternate; roots are pale purple, resembling lettuce. Collected in June and July; herbs, flowers, and seeds are all usable.
Lei Gong stated: After harvesting, remove stems and leaves, using only the fruits. For preparation, first wipe off the thin outer shell with cloth until clean, mix with wine, steam from Si hour (9-11 AM) to Shen hour (3-5 PM), then dry in the sun for use. Empirical Formula: Excellent for treating scalds and burns. Powder the Liuji Nu, first apply rice paste to the scalded area and sweep with a chicken feather, then sprinkle the powder on top. It causes no pain and leaves no scar. Generally, for scalds, first sprinkle salt powder on the affected area to protect the flesh from decay, then apply the medicinal powder.
Gusu Bu (Drynaria fortunei)
Bitter in taste, warm in nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats breaking blood stasis and stopping bleeding, and supplements fractures. Grows in Jiangnan. Roots attach to trees or rocks, covered in hairs. Leaves resemble *Phyllanthus urinaria*.
In Jiangxi, it is called Husun Jiang (Monkey Ginger). Also known as Shi Anmo, or Gusu Bu. (Later appended)
Minister Yuxi et al. respectfully consulted the *Yao Xing Lun*: Gusu Bu is used medicinally. It primarily treats bone poisoning by toxic vapors, wind-blood pain, five exhaustions and six extremes, inability to control mouth and hands, upper heat and lower cold, addressing all these conditions. Chen Cangqi stated: Gusu Bu resembles *Pyrrhosia lingua* (Stonewort) but has a single root, with other leaves growing on wood. Found in Qian and Ji prefectures in Lingnan. Originally named Hou Jiang (Monkey Ginger). Emperor Kaiyuan renamed it because it treats fractures and repairs broken bones. Ri Hua Zi stated: Hou Jiang is neutral in nature. Treats malignant sores eating away flesh, kills parasites. It is an epiphytic herb on trees, slender like ginger.
The *Tu Jing* states: Gusu Bu grows in Jiangnan; currently also found in Huai, Zhe, Shaanxi, and Kuilu prefectures. Roots grow on large trees or rocks, mostly in shady places, sending out rhizomes with yellow hairs and short leaves attached. There are also larger leaves forming branches, green on the front with yellow spots, bluish-white on the back with reddish-purple spots. Leaves emerge in spring, turn yellow and dry in winter; no flowers or fruits, only roots are used medicinally. Harvested at any time, scraped of hairs before use. Originally named Husun Jiang; Emperor Minghuang of Tang renamed it due to its miraculous efficacy for traumatic injuries. In Shu, to treat sprains and bone fractures, the root is powdered, mixed with yellow millet porridge, and applied to the injury site. It is also used to treat deafness. Cut into thin strips, roasted, and inserted into the ear while hot; also used in formulas for women's blood disorders. Also known as Shimao Jiang.
Lei Gong stated: For preparation, after harvesting, scrape off all yellow-red hairs with a copper knife, cut finely, moisten with honey, steam in a willow steamer for one day, then dry in the sun. The *Ganning Ji* states: After removing hairs and cutting finely, mix with raw honey and steam from Si hour to Hai hour (9 AM to 9 PM), then dry as before. Pound into powder. Roasted pig kidneys eaten on an empty stomach treat tinnitus and can stop various pains. Lingyuan Formula: Treats deficiency qi attacking teeth, toothache with bleeding, and itchy/painful gums. Two liang of Gusu Bu, finely cut and stir-fried until black, pounded into powder. After usual rinsing, rub onto the gum line, spit out after some time, use before sleep; application is safe.
*Yanyi* states: Gusu Bu's shoots do not resemble ginger; ginger shoots resemble reed tips. This plant's shoots have small leaves serrated along both sides of each large leaf, opposite each other, leaves...
