得木气而生，味甘、酸，气温，无毒。入足少阴经。补虚续绝，强阴健阳，添精益
气，精滑能固，阴痿能强，悦泽肌肤，安和脏腑，长发强志，即有补益之功，复多收敛
之义。名为覆盆者，服之能使尿盆皆覆也。同车前、五味、菟丝子、蒺藜，为五子衍宗
丸，治男子精气亏乏，中年无子。加入巴戟天、腽肭脐、补骨脂、鹿茸、白胶、山茱

湿可去脱，故主小便不禁，梦遗精滑之症。
金樱子，入脾。肾二经，涩遗精，精滑自流，为收敛虚脱之药。
按∶金樱子，味酸而功专止涩，然经络隧道，以通畅为和，倘能调神养气，则自能
收摄充固，昧者但取收涩，煎汤常服，不惟无益，反至气血乖和，令人减食。

者殊功，治时气，发疮疹不出者立效。益气倍力，令人肥健，胎孕冲心，食之即下。多
食令人烦闷昏眼。根即名木通，通便甚验。
（覆盆子）禀受木气而生，味道甘甜、酸涩，药性温和，无毒。归入足少阴肾经。具有补益虚损、接续绝伤、滋养阴精、强健阳气、增添精髓与元气的作用；对于遗精滑泄能够固摄，对于阳痿不举能够增强；能使肌肤润泽，使脏腑安和；有助于头发浓密、意志坚强。它既有补益的功效，又有多重收敛的意义。之所以名为“覆盆”，是因为服用后能使尿盆倾倒（意指能控制小便，防止遗溺）。与车前子、五味子、菟丝子、蒺藜配伍，组成五子衍宗丸，用于治疗男子精气亏乏、中年无子的症状。若加入巴戟天、腽肭脐、补骨脂、鹿茸、白胶、山茱萸、肉苁蓉，则用于治疗阳虚导致的阳痿，行房时不能勃起，精液寒冷稀薄等症状，使用时宜去除果蒂，用酒煮制。
覆盆子，能益肾脏而固摄精液，补肝虚而明亮双目，治疗阳痿及小便频数。专门治疗因肾损伤导致的精竭流滑，利用其强阴固涩的功效，以辅助闭藏蛰伏、封藏固摄的功能。女性多服，有助于受孕，也是温补肝肾力量的体现！
（金樱子）禀受阳气并兼有木的化生特性，所以味道酸、涩，药性平和、温和，无毒。归入足太阳膀胱经、手阳明大肠经、足少阴肾经。湿性药物可以去除湿邪导致的滑脱不禁，所以主治小便失禁、梦中遗精、精液滑泄等症状。
金樱子，归脾、肾二经，能涩止遗精，治疗精液自流滑脱，是一种收敛虚脱的药物。
按语：金樱子，味道酸，功效专于止涩。然而经络隧道，以通畅为和谐，如果能调摄精神、养护元气，自然就能收摄充盛坚固。愚昧之人只取它的收涩作用，煎汤长期服用，不仅没有益处，反而导致气血不和，使人食欲减退。
（葡萄苗）长成藤蔓容易生长，果实有紫黑色及白色，取汁液酿酒，存放越久香气越浓。具有驱逐水气、通利小便（针对小便不通者）的特殊功效，治疗时行疫病，以及疮疹发出但未能透发出来的情况，立竿见影。能益气加倍体力，使人肥壮健康；若胎气上冲于心，食用后即可下行。多食令人烦闷、眼睛昏花。其根即名为木通，通利大便非常有效。
(Fupenzi, *Rubiae Fructus*) Born from the Qi of Wood, it tastes sweet and sour, has a warm nature, and is non-toxic. It enters the Foot-Shaoyin (Kidney) Meridian. It tonifies deficiency, continues what is severed, nourishes Yin, strengthens Yang, adds to essence and Qi, secures seminal emission and sliding, strengthens impotence, beautifies and moistens the skin, harmonizes the Zang-Fu organs, promotes hair growth, and strengthens willpower. It possesses not only tonifying effects but also multiple astringent meanings. It is named "Fupenzi" (Overturned Basin) because taking it can cause the urination basin to be overturned (implying control over urination). Combined with Cheqianzi (*Plantaginis Semen*), Wuweizi (*Schisandrae Fructus*), Tusizi (*Cuscutae Semen*), and Jili (*Tribuli Fructus*), it forms Wuzi Yanzong Wan (Five-Seed Progeny-Extending Pill), treating men's deficiency of essence and Qi, and childlessness in middle age. If Bajitian (*Morindae Radix*), Anawuqi (*Ottonis Testis*), Buguzhi (*Psoraleae Fructus*), Lurong (*Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum*), Baijiao (*Colla Corii Asini*), Shanzhuyu (*Corni Fructus*), and Rongcongrou (*Cistanches Herba*) are added, it treats Yang deficiency leading to impotence, inability to erect during intercourse, and cold, thin semen. It should be used after removing the calyx and decocting with wine.
Fupenzi benefits the Kidneys and secures essence, tonifies Liver deficiency and brightens the eyes, and treats impotence and frequent small urination. It specifically treats seminal leakage due to Kidney injury and essence exhaustion. By using its strong Yin-nourishing and astringent properties, it assists in closing, storing, and sealing. For women, frequent consumption helps conception, reflecting its power to warm and tonify the Liver and Kidneys!
(Jinyingzi, *Rosae Laevigatae Fructus*) Receiving Yang Qi and combining with the transformation of Wood, it tastes sour and astringent, has a neutral to warm nature, and is non-toxic. It enters the Foot-Taiyang (Bladder), Hand-Yangming (Large Intestine), and Foot-Shaoyin (Kidney) Meridians. Dampness-draining herbs can treat debility and slipping; thus, it mainly treats symptoms such as urinary incontinence, nocturnal seminal emission, and sliding essence.
Jinyingzi enters the Spleen and Kidney meridians. It stops seminal emission and treats spontaneous sliding of essence, serving as an herb for converging deficiency and collapse.
Note: Jinyingzi tastes sour and its function is specialized in stopping slipping. However, meridians and tunnels require smooth flow for harmony. If one can regulate the Spirit and nourish Qi, natural consolidation and security will occur. Ignorant people merely rely on its astringent properties, decocting it into soup for regular consumption. This brings no benefit but instead causes disharmony of Qi and Blood, reducing appetite.
(Putaomiao, *Vitis Vinifera* Vine/Leaves) Grows easily into vines. The fruits are purple-black or white. Juice extracted is fermented into wine, which becomes more fragrant with long storage. It has special efficacy in expelling Water-Qi and promoting urination in cases of urinary retention. It is immediately effective in treating epidemic febrile diseases and sores/rashes that fail to erupt. It boosts Qi, doubles strength, makes one robust and healthy. If fetal Qi rushes to the Heart, eating it causes the fetus to descend. Excessive consumption causes irritability and blurred vision. Its root is named Mutong (*Akebiae Caulis*), which is very effective in unblocking bowels.
