[Background Information]
Book Title: Guang Si Yao Yu (Essential Words for Procreation)
Chapter: Method for Transforming Female to Male / Supplementary Prescriptions
Category: Comprehensive
[Original Text Translation]
After conception, take one bowstring, place it in a crimson pouch, and wear it on the woman's left arm near the shoulder, hanging down to below the waist. Remove it after one hundred days.
Take one tael of Realgar (Xionghuang), place it in a crimson pouch, and wear it on the left side. Place an axe at the head of the bed where the mother lies after childbirth, and also place the blade under the bed. Do not let others know. When a hen is brooding eggs, place the axe under the nest. These should all be from roosters.
Secretly Transmitted Jin Suo Si Xian Dan (Golden Lock Thought-Immortal Pill)
Treats men with excessive lust and unstable essence and qi; it is a formula using astringents to prevent leakage.
Lotus stamen (10 taels, warm, non-toxic, calms the heart; avoid Rehmannia root and garlic)
Stone lotus seed (10 taels, sweet, neutral, warm, non-toxic; those that are truly black in autumn and sink in water are authentic. Its functions benefit qi, calm the mind, stop sweating, treat lower back pain, and seminal emission. For medicinal use, remove the green plum and extract the pure powder.)
Euryale seed (10 taels, sweet, neutral, non-toxic, benefits essence and qi, strengthens willpower. Take the fruit and its inner seed, pound into a paste, dry in the sun, pound again, sieve, and extract the pure powder.)
Take three jin of Rosa laevigata (Jinyingzi). Select those that are half-yellow after the frost. Pound in a wooden mortar, being careful not to damage the thorns. Split into two pieces, remove seeds, wash clean with water, pound into a paste, and put into a large pot. Decoct with water without stopping the fire. When about half the water has evaporated, remove, filter, and decoct again until it resembles thin syrup. If using dried ones from the market, double the amount. Soak in water until soft, remove seeds, and decoct. Then, mix with the aforementioned powders according to the method to form pills the size of tung tree seeds. Take thirty pills each time on an empty stomach with salted water. Effect will be seen within one month, preventing leakage. Wait until the woman's menstruation stops, then take one he of Plantago seed (Cheqianzi), decoct with water, and take on an empty stomach. Conception will occur upon the first intercourse. Following this method for many days, spirit and essence will become complete and solid, enabling one to become an earthly immortal. Usually avoid eating Malva verticillata (Kui cai) and Plantago seed.
According to Bencao (Materia Medica), Rosa laevigata is sour and astringent, neutral, and non-toxic. It treats spleen diarrhea and astringes essence and qi. For those with slippery and leaking essence and qi, taking it will naturally consolidate them. Some say its nature is astringent because they use this medicine without having this disease, and there is no preparation but to decoct and take it alone. Alas! Astringency can remove leakage; this is one of the methods of the Ten Formulas. Skilled physicians cannot change this principle. Euryale seed is sweet, neutral, non-toxic, tonifies the middle, and benefits essence. Stone lotus seed is sweet, cold, non-toxic, calms the divine spirit, nourishes qi and strength, and treats seminal emission. Lotus stamen is warm, non-toxic, calms the heart, and improves complexion. Those who practice ingestion of herbs take Euryale seed, roast Rosa laevigata, decoct and mix to form pills, tonifying the lower body, named Shui Lu Dan (Water-Land Pill). Immortal formulas take Euryale seed and combine it with lotus seeds for consumption, which can retard aging. Ancients obtained one or two of these, and their efficacy was thus. Si Xian combines various wonders, truly worthy of esteem.
