（注：此处原文有断句混乱，“层。”、“（齿血不止、醋浸、令人含之、 其背上。）”似为排版错误或残文，结合上下文语境，前段主要论述琥珀功效，后段开始论述竹类药材。以下翻译尽量还原字面意思并理顺逻辑。）
泻除上焦烦热。
味辛、淡，性甘寒。能凉心、缓脾，消痰止渴，除上焦风邪引起的烦热。（因为叶在上部，所以主治上焦病证。张仲景治疗伤寒发热大渴，使用竹叶石膏汤，就是借用其辛寒之性来发散邪热。）咳嗽气逆、喘息急促，呕吐呃逆，吐血，中风失音，小儿惊痫。凡是使用竹沥、竹茹、竹叶，必须选用生长刚满一年的竹子，因为此时质地嫩且药力强劲。
用竹根同竹叶煎汤，洗涤妇人子宫脱垂。
泻热，豁痰，凉心。
味甘而性微寒。能凉心经，祛风热，利窍豁痰，镇肝明目。功效与竹沥相同，但药性平和缓慢，没有寒滑的弊端。治疗大人中风不语、小儿客忤惊痫尤为适宜。但久用也能损伤中阳。产于南海，是大竹的津液之气凝结而成。（即竹内的黄粉。）片状如竹节形状的是真品。以上属于苞木类。
通利，行水，散瘀，安神。
味甘平。因为油脂入土而成为宝物，所以能通利闭塞以宁心安神，定魂魄，治疗癫狂邪气。（依靠重镇坠降的药物，可以安心神。）颜色赤红。入手少阴心经、足厥阴肝经的血分。（心、肝两脏。）所以能消除瘀血，破除症瘕积聚，生肌肉，愈合金疮。（依靠辛温药物，可以破血生肌。）其味甘淡上行，能使肺气下降从而通利膀胱。（经典记载：饮食进入胃中，游溢精气，向上输送给脾，脾气散布精微，向上归于肺，通调水道，向下输送到膀胱。凡是渗湿药，都是先上行而后下降。所以能治疗五淋，利小便。）燥脾土。（依靠淡渗药物，可以利窍行水。）又能明目退翳。但淡渗会伤阴，凡是阴虚内热、火炎水亏者，不要服用。如果血少而小便不利者，服用后反而会导致干燥急迫的痛苦。松脂入土，年久结成。（韩保升说：枫脂入地，也能结成。）用手心摩擦发热，能吸引芥子的是真品。将柏子仁放入瓦锅中同煮半天，捣成粉末。
To drain the vexatious heat of the Upper Jiao, cool blood, and unblock collaterals.
Sweet in taste and slightly cold in nature. It resolves the stagnation of the Spleen Earth and clears the dryness of the Lung Metal. It cools blood to eliminate heat. It treats vexatious heat of the Upper Jiao, alternating cold and fever caused by warm qi, diaphragmatic obstruction, vomiting, and hiccups. (If due to Stomach heat.) Epistaxis and hematemesis. (To clear the Lungs and cool the Stomach; for persistent gingival bleeding, soak in vinegar and hold in the mouth.) Lung atrophy and convulsions. (To clear Liver fire.) Metrorrhagia and fetal restlessness. (To cool and calm the fetal qi.)

Drain the vexatious heat of the Upper Jiao.
Pungent, bland, sweet in taste, and cold in nature. It cools the Heart and moderates the Spleen, eliminates phlegm, relieves thirst, and dispels wind-evil causing vexatious heat in the Upper Jiao. (Since the leaves are located superiorly, they treat diseases of the Upper Jiao. Zhang Zhongjing used Zhu Ye Shi Gao Tang [Bamboo Leaf and Gypsum Decoction] to treat fever and excessive thirst in Shanghan [Cold Damage], utilizing its pungent-cold property to disperse pathogenic heat.) Cough with counterflow qi, panting, vomiting, hiccups, hematemesis, stroke with aphonia, and pediatric convulsions. When using Zhu Li [Bamboo Sap], Zhu Ru [Bamboo Shavings], or Zhu Ye [Bamboo Leaves], one must select bamboo that has grown for exactly one year, as it is tender and potent.
Decocting Bamboo Roots with Bamboo Leaves can be used to wash prolapsed uterus in women.
Drain heat, resolve phlegm, and cool the Heart.
Sweet in taste and slightly cold in nature. It cools the Heart Meridian, disperses wind-heat, benefits orifices, resolves phlegm, calms the Liver, and brightens the eyes. Its efficacy is similar to Zhu Li [Bamboo Sap], but its nature is mild and gentle, without the adverse effect of being cold and slippery. It is particularly suitable for treating adults with stroke-induced aphasia and children with Ke Wu [stranger fright] and convulsions. However, long-term use may damage the Middle Jiao Yang. It originates from the South Sea and is formed by the condensation of the sap and qi of large bamboo. (It refers to the yellow powder inside the bamboo.) Pieces resembling bamboo nodes are authentic. These belong to the Bao Mu [sheathed woody plants] category.
Unblock, promote water metabolism, dissipate stasis, and calm the spirit.
Sweet and neutral in nature. Because its resin enters the earth and becomes a treasure, it can unblock obstructions to calm the Heart, stabilize the soul and魂魄 [vital spirits], and treat mania and evil qi. (Relying on heavy sedative drugs can calm the Heart spirit.) Red in color. It enters the Blood aspect of the Hand Shaoyin [Heart] and Foot Jueyin [Liver] meridians. (Heart and Liver.) Therefore, it can eliminate blood stasis, break up masses and accumulations, generate flesh, and heal metallic wounds. (Relying on pungent-warm drugs can invigorate blood and generate flesh.) Its sweet and bland taste ascends initially, enabling the Lung Qi to descend and thereby benefiting the Bladder. (The Classics state: Food enters the Stomach, its essence floats and overflows, is transported upward to the Spleen, the Spleen scatters the essence, which returns upward to the Lungs, regulating the water passages and transporting downward to the Bladder. All damp-draining herbs ascend first and then descend. Thus, they can treat the Five Types of Lin [dysuria] and promote urination.) Dry the Spleen Earth. (Relying on bland-draining herbs can benefit orifices and promote water metabolism.) It can also brighten the eyes and remove nebulae. However, bland-draining damages Yin. Those with Yin deficiency and internal heat, or fire flaring with water depletion, should not take it. If one has scant blood and difficulty urinating, taking it will instead cause suffering from dryness and urgency. Pine resin enters the earth and forms concretions over years. (Han Baosheng stated: Maple resin entering the ground can also form concretions.) Authenticity is verified if it attracts mustard seeds when rubbed warm in the palm. Boil Bai Zi Ren [Biota Seed] in a clay pot for half a day, then pound into powder.
