即鬼箭羽。
味苦，性寒，无毒。生长在山石之间，植株矮小且成丛生长，叶子像野茶，三四月间开出小黄绿色的花。果实像冬青子的样子，枝条上有羽毛状的刺像箭一样，看起来像是三根羽毛，所以得名。
《神农本草经》主治女子崩漏下血，腹部胀满汗出，祛除邪气、杀灭鬼毒蛊疰（指由邪祟或寄生虫引起的慢性消耗性疾病）。
发明：鬼箭羽专门消散恶血，所以《神农本草经》有治疗崩中下血的记载。《名医别录》治疗中恶腹痛，去除白虫，消除皮肤风毒肿，这就是“腹满汗出，除邪杀鬼毒蛊疰”的治疗作用。现在人治疗贼风历节诸痹（指风寒湿邪侵袭关节导致的疼痛麻木），妇人产后血晕、血液结聚于胸中，或者偏聚于胁肋少腹部位，用四物汤加倍当归，加入鬼箭羽、红花、玄胡索煎服，因为它的药性专门破血。力量足以导致堕胎，孕妇禁用。
这是牛筋树，俗名鸟叶。
味苦，性平，无毒。
发明：凡是滋补肾阴的药物都会损伤脾胃，唯独此药能止泻除嗜睡，是因为其气味与神机相通。藏器说，长期服用能轻身不饥，变白不老，这是强精益气的验证。《千金方》和《月令》的方子用它，在四月八日煮汁，制作青精饭就是用的它。
味辛，性温，无毒。
《神农本草经》主治心腹疝气腹痛，益气治疗小儿三岁不能行走，以及疽疮阴蚀（指下部溃疡腐烂）。
发明：五加是五车星的精气所化。它是治疗风湿痿痹、强壮筋骨、助阳气的要药。《神农本草经》治疗心腹疝气腹痛、益气治疗小儿三岁不能行走，可知其具有温补下元、强壮筋骨、祛除湿邪的作用。《名医别录》治疗男子阴痿囊下湿、小便余沥，女人阴痒、腰脊痛、脚痹风弱。《大明本草》治疗骨节拘挛。苏恭主张四肢挛急种种病症，都必须酿酒服用，这样药力气势容易运行，不适合在汤药中使用。
This is Guijianyu (Euonymus alatus).
Bitter, cold, non-toxic. Grows among mountain rocks; the plant is small and grows in clumps. The leaves resemble those of wild tea. In the third and fourth months, it produces small yellow-green flowers. The fruit resembles that of Ilex cornuta (Dongqingzi). The branches have winged spines resembling arrows, appearing as if there are three feathers, hence the name.
The *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Divine Farmer's Materia Medica) indicates its use for treating metrorrhagia and hypomenorrhea in women, abdominal fullness with sweating, and expelling evil qi while killing ghost poison, gu poison, and zhuzhu (chronic wasting diseases caused by evil spirits or parasites).
Innovation: Guijianyu specifically disperses evil blood; therefore, the *Shennong Bencao Jing* records its treatment for metrorrhagia and hypomenorrhea. The *Mingyi Bielu* (Record of Famous Physicians) treats sudden evil abdominal pain, removes white worms, and消 (eliminates) skin wind-toxin swelling. This corresponds to the treatments of "abdominal fullness with sweating, expelling evil qi, and killing ghost poison, gu poison, and zhuzhu." Currently, people treat bi-syndrome caused by thief-wind and li-jie (joint pain and deformity), postpartum blood syncope, and blood stasis accumulating in the chest, or clustering in the hypochondrium and lower abdomen. They administer Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) with doubled Danggui (Angelica sinensis), added with Guijianyu, Honghua (Carthamus tinctorius), and Xuanhusuo (Corydalis yanhusuo), decocted and taken orally. This is because its nature specializes in breaking blood stasis. Its potency is sufficient to induce abortion; thus, it is contraindicated during pregnancy.
This is Niujinshu (Elaeagnus oldhamii), commonly known as Niao Ye.
Bitter, neutral, non-toxic.
Innovation: Generally, all kidney-nourishing herbs can damage the spleen. Only this herb stops diarrhea and eliminates drowsiness, due to its qi and spirit interacting uniquely. Zangqi stated that long-term consumption lightens the body and prevents hunger, whitens hair, and prevents aging, which is a verification of strengthening essence and boosting qi. It is used in prescriptions from the *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) and *Yueling* (Monthly Ordinances): boiling the juice on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month to make Qingjing Fan (Green Essence Rice).
Acrid, warm, non-toxic.
The *Shennong Bencao Jing* indicates its use for treating heart and abdominal hernia pain, boosting qi to treat [condition implied: likely related to weakness or developmental delay], children unable to walk at age three, and ulcers with genital erosion.
Innovation: Wujia (Acanthopanax senticosus) is the essence of the Five Chariot Stars. It is a crucial herb for treating wind-dampness bi-syndrome and flaccidity syndrome, strengthening sinews and bones, and assisting yang qi. The *Shennong Bencao Jing* treats heart and abdominal hernia pain, boosts qi to treat [condition implied], and helps children walk at age three, indicating its ability to warm and tonify the lower origin, strengthen sinews and bones, and dispel dampness. The *Mingyi Bielu* treats male impotence with scrotal dampness, dribbling urine after voiding, female vaginal itching, lumbar and spinal pain, and foot bi-syndrome with wind-weakness. The *Daming Bencao* treats joint stiffness and spasms. Su Gong advocated that various conditions of limb stiffness and spasms must be prepared as wine; this allows the medicinal power to circulate easily, making it unsuitable for decoctions.
