(亦名锅丹)
(处方) 倭铅(三钱) 漳丹(二两)
(制法)∶(1)将铅放入倾银罐内(即耐火粘土罐,昔日熔银时常用此罐),置于火上熔化之。
(2)将漳丹徐徐撒于已熔铅上,藉重铅气熏蒸,并于黄丹中间搅一凹处,俟蒸至凹处发现黑色,四周兼现黄色时,
是即合度之证(大约一炷香时即可蒸透),冷定,去铅取丹,是即金丹,亦名“锅丹”。
(处方) 白砒(二两) 硫黄(四两)
(制法)(1)将砒、硫共研细末,投入倾银罐内,上覆铁板一块,以铁丝缚紧,再用盐泥将罐全体封固(或以醋调
石膏亦可),俟干听用。
(2)将已干丹罐放木炭火中烧之,揣度罐中药已熔化(约香三炷),乃取出待冷,剥除泥壳,揭去铁板(手势应轻,
勿使盖上所升之药落下),升于盖上而色如黄芽者为烟硫,沉于罐底而色带暗绿者为石青,将此暗绿色物取出研细备
用。二物虽然同出一本,性却截然不同,盖烟硫有毒而石青无毒也。
(处方) 纹银(一两) 石青(约一两)
(制法)(1)将银打成薄片,剪成小块,投入倾银罐内,火上熔化。
(2)取石青末约六、七钱,投入已熔银上,以铁箸搅拌,银即自然起发,如不十分起发时,可再投石青末三、四钱,
必能起发。所用石青不拘多少,总以银质发透为率。
(3)将发透之银取出打碎,研为细末,飞去灰渣,其色与靛花相似(翠色),故名银翠,将其浸入冷水,每日换水
二次,七日夜后,火毒即尽,收贮备用。

(Also known as Guo Dan)
(Formula) Wobian (Lead, San Qian), Zhangdan (Minium, Er Liang)
(Method of Preparation): (1) Place lead into a silver-melting pot (i.e., a refractory clay pot commonly used in the past for melting silver), and melt it over fire.
(2) Slowly sprinkle Zhangdan onto the melted lead. Utilize the heavy lead vapor to fumigate, and stir a depression in the center of the minium. Wait until the depression turns black and the surrounding area appears yellow; this indicates the correct degree of processing (approximately one incense stick's time is sufficient for thorough steaming). After cooling, remove the lead and collect the cinnabar/minium product. This is Jin Dan, also known as "Guo Dan".
(Formula) Bai Pi (Realgar/White Arsenic, Er Liang), Liu Huang (Sulfur, Si Liang)
(Method of Preparation) (1) Grind arsenic and sulfur together into a fine powder, put them into a silver-melting pot, cover with an iron plate, secure tightly with iron wire, and seal the entire pot with salt mud (or gypsum mixed with vinegar may be used). Wait until dry for use.
(2) Place the dried pot in charcoal fire. Estimate that the medicine inside has melted (approximately three incense sticks' time), then remove it and let it cool. Peel off the mud shell and lift the iron plate (handle gently to prevent the sublimated medicine on the lid from falling back down). The substance sublimating onto the lid and resembling yellow buds is Yan Liu (Volatile Sulfur); the substance settling at the bottom of the pot and appearing dark green is Shi Qing (Green Orpiment). Take out this dark green substance, grind it into a fine powder, and set aside for use. Although these two substances originate from the same source, their properties are截然 different: Yan Liu is toxic, whereas Shi Qing is non-toxic.
(Formula) Wen Yin (Refined Silver, Yi Liang), Shi Qing (Green Orpiment, approximately Yi Liang)
(Method of Preparation) (1) Hammer silver into thin sheets, cut into small pieces, put them into a silver-melting pot, and melt over fire.
(2) Take approximately six or seven Qian of Shi Qing powder, add it to the melted silver, and stir with iron chopsticks. The silver will naturally expand/bloom. If it does not expand sufficiently, add another three or four Qian of Shi Qing powder; it will surely expand. The amount of Shi Qing used is not fixed; the standard is always that the silver quality is fully expanded/permeated.
(3) Take out the fully expanded silver, crush it, grind into a fine powder, and remove ash/residue. Its color resembles indigo flowers (emerald green), hence named Yin Cui. Soak it in cold water, changing the water twice daily. After seven days and nights, the fire toxicity will be completely eliminated. Store for future use.
In Gu Shicheng's *Yangyi Daquan* (Comprehensive Collection for Surgeons), under the section on Hemorrhoids and Fistulas, there is a formula called Tui Guan Fang (Tube-Expelling Formula), which is extremely similar to Yin Cui, differing only in preparation method. It is recorded below for reference:
(Jia) Ci Shi (Magnetite, Liu Liang)
Crush to the size of beans, soak in Biji (Bletilla striata) water for several days, take out, coat with Liu Huang (Sulfur) powder, put into a pot and sublimate for three hours, yielding approximately three Qian of Dan.
(Yi) Chen Sha (Cinnabar, Si Liang), Ming Fan (Alum, Si Liang) (Sublimate separately into Dan)
(Bing) Wen Yin (Refined Silver, Yi Liang), Liu Huang (Sulfur, San Qian), Bai Pi (White Arsenic, San Fen) (Refine into powder)
Weigh equal parts of the above three powdered medicines, mix evenly, form pills using rice paste, sized like millet grains. Take one Fen per dose, washed down with Baizhi (Angelica dahurica) decoction. Approximately half a day after ingestion, swelling and pain will be felt in the lower part. Pat the left and right buttocks with hands, and the tube will spontaneously expel. When expulsion is complete, use flesh-regenerating medicine to conclude treatment. For small tube openings, first use a caustic medicine to rot/open the opening, making the tube easier to expel; for those desiring rapid expulsion, wash with a decoction of Ricinus communis seeds.
