Wang Lianshi states: Diaosha Husun (Drying Monkey), also known as Shangshu Husun (Climbing Monkey) or Tiejiao Sun'er (Iron-Horned Monkey), is a wind-wood vine on maple trees. After many years, it forms bead-like clusters resembling puppets. It can expel Wind rapidly; taken after steaming with wine, combined with Jinqie Gen Tu (Root of Goldfinch Vine), Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis), Shichuang Hua Gen (Root of Stone Bed Flower), and Shi Can (Stone Silkworm), it is an essential medicine for treating paralysis and tendon cramping.
*Zhi Fang Dian* records: Produced in Funing, with thin stems and leaves resembling monkey ears.
It treats various diseases of the throat and teeth.
*Zhi Fang Dian* records: Produced in Funing; its decayed vines can be used as incense.
It stops hematemesis and activates collaterals.
*Yue Dong Xiao Lu* records: This vine is produced in Dongguan, fine as hair, growing straight up several zhang high without nodes, often leaping across trees like thousands of wandering threads connecting them. The red ones are named Honglong Xu (Red Dragon Beard), the purple ones Zilong Xu (Purple Dragon Beard); there are five colors. However, they grow without roots or stalks; when thrown into filth, they dissolve and disappear, their destination unknown. Locals mix its juice with fine soil and calcined stone to coat sugar-boiling pots; the coating becomes hard as iron, resisting cracking even under fierce fire. Its flowers and seeds are both used as medicine.
Soaked in wine and taken orally, it tonifies sinews and bones, expels Wind and detoxifies, following the meridians to reach every minute detail.
*Xing Kao* records: Wuse Longxu Teng (Five-Colored Dragon Beard Vine) is fine as hair, grows without roots, and hangs on trees with long hair-like strands.
Caobao states: This herb sprouts in the second lunar month, spreading on the ground rather than among trees; it is a herbaceous vine. Leaves are opposite, similar to those of Chou Wutong (Fragrant Tree), flowering in the sixth and seventh months with pink flowers resembling Convolvulus but not fully opening. Rubbing the leaves releases a foul odor; its formal name is unknown, but people named it Chouteng (Stinking Vine) due to its smell. Its root is used as medicine; roots from the current year are small, while those from two to three years are as large as radishes and usable. Li's *Caomi* states: Chouteng is also known as Quejie, with opposite leaves and creeping growth, extremely foul-smelling; decocted for washing legs and feet suffering from Wind-Cold-Dampness pain and spasms that cannot relax, it works miraculously. Wang's *Yaolu* states: Chouputaoteng (Stinking Grape Vine) spreads and grows; its fruit resembles grapes but smells bad, treating Wind disorders. It further states: Wild grapes have a heavy odor and foul taste, functioning to resolve abscesses in the intestines and stomach.
It treats Scrofula (Luo Li); decocting the root in wine and taking it several times leads to self-healing—unbroken nodules dissipate, and broken ones heal.
It treats Wind-Pain, Intestinal Abscess (Chang Yong), traumatic injuries, flowing Wind-Fire-Toxin, disperses Stagnant Qi, washes Hernia, and when combined with Zi Su (Perilla Leaf) and decocted in soup (from Wang Lianshi's formula).
