雷公云∶凡采得后，去皮、心、神，了，捣令细，于水盆中搅令浊，浮者去之，是茯苓
筋，若误服之，令人眼中童子并黑睛点小，兼盲目，甚记之。
雷公云∶凡用，红松脂、石珀、水珀、花珀、物象珀、 珀、琥珀。红松脂如琥珀，只
是浊，太脆，文 ；水珀多无红，色如浅黄，多粗皮皱；石珀如石重，色黄，不堪用；花珀
文似新马尾松心文，一路赤，一路黄；物象珀其内自有物命动，此使有神妙； 珀，其珀是
众珀之长，故号曰 珀；琥珀如血色，熟于布上拭，吸得芥子者，真也。
夫入药中用，水调侧柏子末安于瓷锅子中，安琥珀于末中，了，下火煮，从巳至申，别
有异光，别捣如粉，重筛用。
雷公云∶酸枣仁凡使，采得后，晒干，取叶重拌酸枣仁蒸半日，了，去尖、皮，了，任
研用。
雷公云∶凡使，用刀削上粗皮，了，用生蜜水浸半日，漉出，晒干，用蜜涂，文武火炙
令蜜尽为度。
凡修事五两，用蜜三两。
雷公云∶凡使，采得后，用水浸三日，将物搅旋，投水，浮者去之。然后晒干，却用酒
浸一伏时，了，便蒸，从巳至亥，出，焙令干用。
Lei Gong said: Whenever Poria (Fuling, 茯苓) is collected, the outer bark, woody core (xin, 心), and Fushen (Shen, 神 - mycelium wrapped around pine roots) must be removed. After processing, it should be pounded into fine powder. Place it in a basin of water and stir until the water becomes turbid; discard the floating material, which constitutes the fibrous strands (jin, 筋) of Poria. If mistakenly ingested, it may cause black spots to appear on the pupil and cornea, potentially leading to blindness. This point must be remembered with utmost care.
Lei Gong said: Regarding the use of various resins, including Red Pine Resin (Hong Song Zhi, 红松脂), Stone Amber (Shi Po, 石珀), Water Amber (Shui Po, 水珀), Flower Amber (Hua Po, 花珀), Object-Image Amber (Wu Xiang Po, 物象珀), [Missing Character] Amber, and Succinum (Hu Po, 琥珀). Red Pine Resin resembles amber but is turbid, overly brittle, and has coarse texture. Water Amber is mostly non-red, light yellow in color, and often has rough, wrinkled skin. Stone Amber is heavy like stone, yellow in color, and unsuitable for medicinal use. Flower Amber has a grain pattern similar to that of new Masson pine heartwood, with alternating red and yellow stripes. Object-Image Amber contains visible biological forms within, giving it a mystical quality. [Missing Character] Amber is considered the leader among all ambers, hence its name. Succinum resembles blood color; if rubbed on cloth and capable of attracting mustard seeds, it is authentic.
For medicinal preparation, mix powder of Platycladi Semen (Ce Bai Zi, 侧柏子) with water and spread it in a porcelain pot. Place the Succinum within the powder mixture. Process over heat from Si hour (9–11 AM) to Shen hour (3–5 PM); distinct luminous phenomena will appear. Remove, pound into powder, sieve, and use.
Lei Gong said: For the use of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen (Suan Zao Ren, 酸枣仁), after collection, dry it in the sun. Mix it repeatedly with leaves and steam for half a day. After processing, remove the tips and skins, then grind as needed.
Lei Gong said: For the use of [Subject Missing], shave off the coarse outer skin with a knife. After processing, soak in raw honey water for half a day. Drain, dry in the sun, coat with honey, and roast using alternating mild and strong fire until the honey is fully absorbed.
For every five liang of material processed, use three liang of honey.
Lei Gong said: For the use of [Subject Missing], after collection, soak in water for three days. Stir vigorously in the water, then allow to settle; discard the floating portion. Dry in the sun, then soak in wine for one shichen (one fu shi, approx. 2 hours). After processing, steam from Si hour (9–11 AM) to Hai hour (9–11 PM). Remove, bake until dry, and use.
Lei Gong said: The current Wu Jia Pi (Acanthopanacis Cortex, 五加皮) comes from the tree known as Bai Qiu Shu (White Catalpa Tree). Leaves resembling those of cattail are present; plants with three flowers are male, and those with five flowers are female.
For medicinal use, peel the bark and dry it in the shade.
