Suan Zao (Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa): Mainly treats alternating chills and fever (Han Re) and qi stagnation (Jie Qi), calms the five zang organs, and treats insomnia. [Meng Xiao]
Non-toxic. Promotes the free flow of the five zang organs, disperses intestinal gas obstruction and toxic vapors, but should not be consumed in excess. It is particularly beneficial for those taking Dan Shi (mineral pills). If heat develops, it can be cooked into a soup with Cong Bai (Scallion White) and Chi Dou Chi (Fermented Soybean). [Chen Cang Qi]
(1) Sang Shen (Mulberry Fruit): Nature is slightly cold. Consumption tonifies the five zang organs, improves hearing and vision, benefits the joints, harmonizes the meridians, promotes blood and qi circulation, and enriches the spirit. [Li Dang Zhi]
(2) Sang Gen Bai Pi (White Bark of Mulberry Root): Decocted juice to drink, benefits the five zang organs. Also used in powders, it expels all types of wind pathogens and water-dampness qi. [Chen Cang Qi]
(3) Sang Ye (Mulberry Leaf): Roasted and decocted for drinking to relieve thirst, similar to tea preparation. [Chen Cang Qi]
(4) Sang Pi (Mulberry Bark): Decoction can be used to dye brown; the color does not fade easily. Sang Chai (Mulberry Firewood): Ash obtained by leaching burnt wood is used in the home refining of metals. [Chen Cang Qi]
(1) Dan Zhu (Light Bamboo) is superior; Gan Zhu (Sweet Bamboo) is secondary. Mainly treats cough with rebellious qi (Ni Qi), Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst), Tan Yin (Phlegm-Fluids), Hou Bi (Throat Bi/obstruction), Gui Zhu E Qi (evil qi of ghostly affections).

(5) Sun (Bamboo Shoots): Cold nature. Mainly treats rebellious qi, removes irritability and heat, but moves qi and can trigger cold syndromes (Leng Zheng); do not eat in excess. Among them are Lu Sun and Jian Sun; fresh ones are slightly edible, old ones are inedible. Although Dan Zhu Sun and Zhong Mu Sun are delicious, they induce back carbuncles, chest oppression, and Hong Jiao (Gouty Arthritis/Leg Swelling). [Li Dang Zhi · Chen Cang Qi]
(6) Ku Sun (Bitter Bamboo Shoots) does not generate phlegm. [Meng Xiao]
(7) Bamboo shoots should not be eaten with Crucian Carp; doing so causes the shoots to fail to digest, forming accumulations (Zheng Bing), leading to inability to walk. [Li Dang Zhi]
(8) Ci Zhu (Ci Bamboo): In summer during rain, dripping juice falls on the ground and produces fungi resembling deer antlers, white in color. Collect, wash, and eat with ginger sauce; mainly treats all types of red and white dysentery (Chi Bai Li). Extremely effective. [Zhen Quan]
