【车前子】
气味甘、寒，无毒。主治气癃（因气机阻滞导致的小便不通），止痛，通利水道和小便，祛除湿痹。长期服用可使人身体轻健，延缓衰老。
（车前草在《神农本草经》中称为“当道”。《诗经》中称为“芣苢”，喜欢生长在道路旁边以及牛马的脚印中，所以有车前当道，以及牛遗马舄的名称。江湖淮甸等地到处都有，春天生出苗叶，铺散在地面上，抽出几茎花穗像鼠尾一样，花朵极细密，呈青色微紫。）
天地万物皆有动与静，对于地（坤）而言，静止时收敛，运动时开辟。车前子喜好生长在道路旁，即使被牛马践踏也不死亡，这是因为它得用了土气的功用，属于动而不静的性质。气癃，是指膀胱的气机闭塞不通。气机闭塞则疼痛，疼痛则导致水道中小便不利。车前子得用土气的功用，土气运行则水道也随之运行，从而膀胱的气机不再闭塞。气机不闭塞则疼痛停止，疼痛停止则水道中的小便也就通畅了。土气营运正常，则湿邪自然消散，所以能祛除湿痹。长期服用，土气上升而水气布散，所以能身体轻健，延缓衰老。《神仙服食经》说：车前子是雷的精气所化。震卦代表雷，也代表长男。《诗经》中说：“采采芣苢”，也是希望怀孕而生男孩的意思。
【冬葵子】
气味甘、寒、滑，无毒。主治五脏六腑的寒热病症，身体消瘦虚弱，五种癃闭，通利小便。长期服用能坚固骨骼，增长肌肉，使身体轻健，延年益寿。
（葵菜到处都有，以八、九月种植，覆盖养护过冬，到春天结籽的，称为冬葵子。如果不覆盖养护，正月重新种植的，称为春葵。三月开始种植，五月开红紫色花的，称为蜀葵。八、九月开黄花的，称为秋葵。葵的种类不止一种，此外还有锦葵、黄葵、终葵、菟葵的名称，花朵具有五色及间色，颜色深浅各不相同。）
葵花开出五色花，四季长生，得到了生长化收藏的五气，所以能治疗五脏六腑的寒热和身体消瘦虚弱。冬葵子经过覆盖养护过冬……（原文此处似有脱漏或语意未尽，结合下文解释五癃）。
膀胱功能不利称为癃。“五”是土的成数，土气不营运，则水道闭塞，所以称为五癃。治疗五癃，则小便自然通利。长期服用坚固骨骼，是因为得到了少阴肾气的作用。增长肌肉，是因为得到了太阴脾土之气的作用。坚固骨骼、增长肌肉，所以能身体轻健，延年益寿。
[Cheqianzi (Plantago Seed)]
The flavor is sweet and cold, and it is non-toxic. It treats Qi Long (obstruction of urination due to Qi stagnation), relieves pain, promotes the flow of water passages and urination, and dispels damp-bi syndrome. Long-term consumption makes the body light and delays aging.
(Plantago herb was named "Dangdao" in the *Shennong Bencao Jing*. In the *Classic of Poetry*, it is called "Fouyi". It likes to grow by the roadside and in the footprints of cattle and horses, hence the names "Cheqian Dangdao" and "Niu Yi Ma Xi". It is found everywhere in rivers, lakes, Huai River regions, etc. Sprouts and leaves emerge in spring, spreading on the ground, drawing up several stems with spikes like rat tails; the flowers are extremely fine and dense, greenish-purple.)
Heaven and Earth all possess movement and stillness. Regarding Earth (Kun), its stillness gathers, and its movement opens. Cheqianzi likes to grow by the roadside; even if trampled by cattle and horses, it does not die. This is because it utilizes the function of Earth Qi, being a substance that moves but does not remain static. Qi Long refers to the obstruction of Qi in the Bladder. When Qi is obstructed, there is pain; when there is pain, the flow of water passages and urination becomes difficult. Cheqianzi utilizes the function of Earth Qi; when Earth Qi moves, the water passages also move, and the Qi in the Bladder no longer obstructs. When there is no obstruction, pain stops; when pain stops, the urination in the water passages becomes smooth. When Earth Qi circulates normally, damp pathogenic factors naturally dissipate, thus dispelling damp-bi. Long-term consumption causes Earth Qi to ascend and Water Qi to distribute, making the body light and delaying aging. The *Shenxian Fushi Jing* states: Cheqianzi is the essence of Thunder. The Zhen trigram represents Thunder and also the Eldest Son. The *Classic of Poetry* says: "Gathering gathering Fouyi," which also implies the desire to conceive and bear a son.
[Dongkuizi (Malva Seed)]
The flavor is sweet, cold, and slippery, and it is non-toxic. It treats cold and heat conditions of the Five Zang and Six Fu organs, emaciation and weakness, five types of Long (urinary obstruction), and promotes urination. Long-term consumption strengthens bones, increases muscle mass, makes the body light, and prolongs life.
(Malva vegetables are found everywhere. Those planted in the eighth or ninth month, covered and nurtured through winter, producing seeds in spring, are called Dongkuizi. If not covered and nurtured, but replanted in the first month, they are called Chun Kui. Those planted in the third month and blooming with red-purple flowers in the fifth month are called Shu Kui. Those blooming with yellow flowers in the eighth or ninth month are called Qiu Kui. There are various types of Malva; besides these, there are Jin Kui, Huang Kui, Zhong Kui, and Tu Kui, with flowers displaying five colors and intermediate shades, varying in depth.)
Malva blooms with five-colored flowers and grows long through the four seasons, obtaining the five Qi of growth, transformation, harvest, and storage. Thus, it treats cold and heat conditions of the Five Zang and Six Fu organs, as well as emaciation and weakness. Dongkuizi is nurtured through winter... [Text appears incomplete here, linking to the explanation of Wu Long].
When the Bladder's function is impaired, it is called Long. "Five" is the number associated with Earth. When Earth Qi does not circulate, water passages become blocked, hence it is called Wu Long (Five Obstructions). Treating Wu Long allows urination to flow naturally. Long-term consumption strengthens bones because it obtains the Qi of Shaoyin (Kidney). Increasing muscle mass is because it obtains the Qi of Taiyin (Spleen). Strengthening bones and increasing muscles results in a light body and prolonged life.
