味苦、辛，温，无毒。主女子寒热，症瘕，月闭，积聚，阴肿痛，漏下，无子，止泄痢。
不可久服，伤五脏，令人
羸瘦。一名白善。生邯郸山谷，采无时。
此即今画用者，甚多而贱，俗方亦希，《仙经》不须也。
〔谨案〕胡居士言，始兴小桂县
晋阳乡有白善。
味辛，微寒。主咳逆，胃反，惊痫，癫疾，除热，下气。止小便利，除毒热脐挛，金疮
溢血。练化还成九光，久服
通神明。生蜀郡平泽。一名铅华，生于铅。
即今熬铅所作黄丹画用者，俗方亦希用，唯《仙经》涂丹釜所须此。云化成九光者，当
谓九光
炼法。
〔谨案〕丹、白二粉俱炒锡作，今经称铅丹，陶云熬铅，俱误也。
味辛，寒，无毒。主伏尸毒螫，杀三虫。去鳖瘕，疗恶疮，堕胎，止小便利。一名解锡。
即今化铅所作胡粉也。其有金色者，疗尸虫弥良，而谓之粉锡，事与经乖。
〔谨案〕铅丹
、胡粉，实用锡造。陶今又言化铅作之，经云粉锡，亦为深误。
主女子血闭，症瘕，伏肠，绝孕，及伏尸邪气。生桂阳山谷。
此物与胡粉异类，而今共条。当以其非正成具一药，故以附见锡品中也。古无纯以铜作
镜者，皆用锡杂之。《别录》
用铜镜鼻，即是今破古铜镜鼻尔，用之当烧令赤内酒中饮之。若置醯中出入百过，亦可捣也。
铅与锡，《本经》云生桂阳。
今乃出临贺，临贺犹是分桂阳所置。铅与锡虽相似，而入用大异。
〔谨案〕临贺出者名铅，
一名白 ，唯此一处资天下用。
其
味苦、辛，性温，无毒。主治女子寒热往来，症瘕（腹内结块），月经闭止，积聚（体内有形或无形的病理产物堆积），阴部肿痛，漏下（非经期阴道出血），不孕，以及泄痢。
不可长期服用，会损伤五脏，使人消瘦。又名白善。产于邯郸山谷，采集没有固定时间。
这就是现在绘画所用的材料，产量很多且价格便宜，民间方剂中也很少使用，《仙经》中也不需要它。
【谨案】胡居士说，始兴郡小桂县晋阳乡有白善。
味辛，性微寒。主治咳嗽气逆，胃反（呕吐），惊痫，癫疾，清热，降气。止小便频数，消除毒热引起的脐部挛急，金疮（刀箭创伤）溢血。经过炼制可变成“九光”，长期服用能通神明。产于蜀郡平泽。又名铅华，生于铅。
就是现在通过熬炼铅制成的黄丹，用于绘画。民间方剂中也很少使用，只有《仙经》中涂丹釜时需要用到它。所谓化成“九光”的，应当是指九光炼法。
【谨案】丹粉和白粉都是用炒锡制成的，现在的经文称其为铅丹，陶弘景说用熬铅制成，都是错误的。
味辛，性寒，无毒。主治伏尸毒虫叮咬，杀灭三虫（寄生虫）。去除鳖瘕，治疗恶疮，堕胎，止小便频数。又名解锡。
就是现在用化铅制成的胡粉。其中有金色光泽的，治疗尸虫效果更好，但称之为粉锡，这与经典记载相违背。
【谨案】铅丹、胡粉，实际上是用锡制造的。陶弘景现在又说用化铅制成，经文称其为粉锡，也是严重的错误。
主治女子血闭，症瘕，伏肠（病邪潜伏于肠道），绝孕，以及伏尸邪气。产于桂阳山谷。
此物与胡粉不同类，但现在列在同一条目中。大概是因为它不是正式成型的药物，所以附在锡类物品中。古代没有纯铜制作的镜子，都是用锡混合其中。《别录》中提到的用铜镜鼻，就是现在破碎的古铜镜鼻，使用时应当烧红后放入酒中饮用。如果放在醋中浸泡出入一百次，也可以捣碎使用。
铅和锡，《本经》说产于桂阳。
现在出产于临贺，临贺是从桂阳分置出来的。铅和锡虽然相似，但入药用途大不相同。
【谨案】临贺出产的叫铅，又名白[此处原文缺字，推测为某种矿物名]，只有这一处供应天下使用。

Bitter and acrid, warm in nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats alternating chills and fever in women, zheng zha (abdominal masses), amenorrhea, ji ju (accumulations of pathological products), swelling and pain in the yin region, metrorrhagia (bleeding between periods), infertility, as well as diarrhea and dysentery.
It should not be taken for a long time, as it damages the five zang organs and causes emaciation. Also known as Bai Shan. Grows in the valleys of Handan; can be harvested at any time.
This is the material used for painting today; it is abundant and cheap, rarely used in folk prescriptions, and not required by the "Xian Jing" (Scriptures of Immortals).
[Note] Hu Jushi stated that Bai Shan exists in Jin Yang Township, Xiao Gui County, Shixing Commandery.
Acrid, slightly cold in nature. Primarily treats cough with reverse flow of qi, wei fan (gastric reflux/vomiting), jing xian (convulsions and epilepsy), dian ji (schizophrenia-like disorders), clears heat, directs qi downward. Stops frequent urination, eliminates toxic heat causing umbilical contraction, and stops bleeding from metal wounds (lacerations). When refined, it becomes "Jiu Guang"; long-term use enhances spiritual clarity. Grows in Ping Ze, Shu Commandery. Also known as Qian Hua, originating from lead.
This refers to the yellow dan (minium) made by roasting lead for painting purposes today. It is also rarely used in folk prescriptions; only the "Xian Jing" requires it for coating the cinnabar furnace. The phrase "transformed into Jiu Guang" likely refers to the method of refining Jiu Guang.
[Note] Both Dan powder and Bai powder are actually made by stir-frying tin. The current text calls it Qian Dan (Lead Oxide), and Tao Hongjing states it is made by roasting lead; both are incorrect.
Acrid, cold in nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats poisoning from Fu Shi (hidden parasites/toxins) and insect stings, kills three types of parasites (San Chong). Removes Bie Zha (masses resembling tortoises), treats malignant sores, induces abortion, and stops frequent urination. Also known as Jie Xi.
This is the Hu Fen (White Lead Powder) made by melting lead today. Those with a golden hue are more effective in treating Shi Chong (corpse worms/parasites), but calling them Fen Xi contradicts the classic texts.
[Note] Qian Dan and Hu Fen are practically made from tin. Tao Hongjing now claims they are made from melted lead, and the text's reference to Fen Xi is also a deep error.
Primarily treats blood obstruction in women, zheng zha (abdominal masses), Fu Chang (pathogenic factors hidden in the intestines), sterility, and Fu Shi evil qi. Grows in the valleys of Guiyang Commandery.
This substance belongs to a different category than Hu Fen, yet it is listed in the same entry. This is likely because it is not a formally standardized medicine, so it is appended among the tin items. In ancient times, mirrors were not made of pure copper but contained mixed tin. The "Bie Lu" mentions using the nose of a copper mirror, which refers to broken noses from ancient copper mirrors today. They should be heated until red-hot and then drunk after being immersed in wine. If immersed in vinegar repeatedly one hundred times, they can also be crushed.
Qian (Lead) and Xi (Tin) are stated in the "Ben Jing" to originate from Guiyang.
Currently, they are produced in Linghe, which was established by dividing Guiyang. Although Qian and Xi are similar, their medicinal applications differ greatly.
[Note] The product from Linghe is called Qian, also known as Bai [character missing], and this single source supplies the entire country.
