味咸，气温。属水与土。无毒。濮阳范阳者最奇，兖州宣州者尤胜。他处虽产，总味不
佳。秋采收藏，干生任意。
欲干收日曝，水气全消；（袋盛，风处吹干尤美。）欲生收沙藏，
新鲜常在。蒸熟食滞气恋膈，生者食发气生虫。曝干食之，下气补益。小儿多食，令齿不生

可尝。
\r安石榴\pj377.bmp\r
味甘、酸，无毒。原种本生西域，张骞为使得来。在处园林，栽为 饰。花开红者
，结实味甘，可为果餍酒；花开白者，实结酸味，堪入药拯 。子啖生津，大能解渴。
过食损齿变黑，抑又损肺当
防。壳亦单方，能禁精漏。治筋骨风住痛，及脚膝不能行步宜煎；疗赤
眼目时流冷泪堪洗。尤染皓发，
仍理虫牙。花瓣研吹鼻中，即止衄血神效。倘
金疮未愈，和锻石捣敷。又东行根，取皮煎浓，杀寸白虫，蛔虫极妙。
（谟）按∶丹溪云∶榴者，留也。味酸，性滞。汁能恋膈成痰，病患固宜戒也。然观损
齿、损
肺之说，寻常人食多，亦受其害，况病者乎？
栗
味道咸，性质温。归属于水和土行。无毒。濮阳范阳出产的栗子最为奇特，兖州和宣州出产的尤其优良。其他地方虽然也产，但总归味道不佳。秋季采收并收藏，干品或鲜品均可随意选用。
想要制成干品则晒干，使水分完全消散；（用袋子装好，在通风处吹干尤为美好。）想要保留鲜品则沙藏，以保持新鲜常在。蒸熟后食用会阻碍气机、滞留在胸膈，生吃则会耗气生虫。晒干后食用，能降气补益。小儿多吃，会导致牙齿不生。专入肾经，可治疗肾病。强健腰足、增加力量，厚肠胃、耐饥饿。生嚼涂抹于筋骨碎裂疼痛处，（对于骨折断伤者有效。）消肿、去除瘀血有神奇疗效。患有风水肿气者，切忌沾唇食用。栗榍（栗子的壳）内部有三颗种子的才符合药用标准，劈开取中间那一粒种子才是。敷治瘰疬（颈部淋巴结结核）肿块以散血，调理筋骨风邪以止痛。
毛壳（带刺的外壳）治疗疔疮毒火丹，烧成灰后外敷；赤壳（红色外壳）治疗反胃消渴，煮汁饮用。研磨靠近果肉的薄皮与蜂蜜混合涂面，对于面部突发冷急收缩也有奇效。树皮白皮煮浓汁，主治沙虱溪毒。几种较小的栗子品种，也附记其名称。真栗在江湖地区多见，子实圆如豌豆粒。莘栗产于桂阳，果实大如杏子仁。（《诗经》说：“树之莘栗”即是此物。）茅栗遍布江南生长，形状似栗子但更圆细。旋栗只产于江北，顶端圆末端尖。钩栗俗称为甜槠，（又名巢钩子），能厚肠胃、肥身体。槠栗人们常苦称其为槠，能止泻痢、健行走。制作粉剂也很好，凉心益胃。皮叶入水煎汁，可用于治疗产后血崩不止。
安石榴
味道甘、酸，无毒。原种本生于西域，张骞出使西域时带回。各地园林中种植作为装饰。花开红色的，结出的果实味甘，可作为果品佐酒；花开白色的，结出的果实味酸，可入药救治疾病。食用果肉生津液，大能解渴。过量食用损伤牙齿使其变黑，又损伤肺脏应当预防。果皮也是单方，能固精止漏。治疗筋骨风邪引起的疼痛，以及脚膝不能行走宜煎服；治疗红眼目流泪适宜清洗。还能染黑白发，仍治疗虫牙。花瓣研末吹入鼻中，立即停止鼻出血有神奇疗效。如果金创（金属利器造成的伤口）未愈，与锻石捣碎外敷。还有向东生长的根部，取皮煮浓汁，杀死寸白虫（绦虫）、蛔虫极妙。
（陈嘉谟）按语：朱丹溪说：榴，留也。味道酸，性质滞涩。汁液能留恋胸膈形成痰饮，病患固然应该戒除。然而观察损伤牙齿、损伤肺脏的说法，普通人吃多了也会受害，何况病人呢？
Chestnut (Castanea mollissima)
Taste: salty. Nature: warm. Category: Water and Earth. Non-toxic. The chestnuts from Fan Yang in Puyang are the most unique, while those from Yanzhou and Xuanzhou are particularly superior. Although produced elsewhere, their taste is generally inferior. Harvested in autumn for storage; both dried and fresh forms can be used as desired.
To prepare dried chestnuts, sun-dry them until all moisture is eliminated; (stored in bags and dried by wind, this method is especially excellent.) To preserve fresh chestnuts, store them in sand to maintain freshness continuously. Steamed and cooked chestnuts obstruct Qi flow and cause stagnation in the chest and diaphragm; raw consumption generates Qi depletion and parasites. Dried chestnuts consumed promote Qi descent and provide nourishment. Excessive consumption by children may inhibit tooth eruption. It specifically enters the Kidney Meridian and is capable of treating Kidney diseases. It strengthens the waist and limbs, enhances strength, thickens the stomach and intestines, and increases endurance against hunger. Chewing raw and applying it to fractured or painful bones and tendons (effective for fractures and breaks) reduces swelling and eliminates blood stasis with miraculous efficacy. Those suffering from Wind-Water edema must strictly avoid contact with the lips. For medicinal use, only the kernel inside a husk containing three seeds is valid; split open to take the single central kernel. Applied externally for scrofula (lymph node tuberculosis) masses to dissipate blood stasis, and regulates bone-tendon Wind pathologies to stop pain.
The hairy shell (spiny outer husk) treated with fire ash is applied externally for carbuncles, sores, and erysipelas. The red shell treats regurgitation and thirst when decocted and drunk. Grinding the thin skin near the flesh and mixing with honey and applying to the face yields miraculous results for sudden cold contraction of facial muscles. Decoction of the white inner bark treats poison from sand leeches and stream toxins. Several smaller varieties are also listed with their names. True Chestnuts are common in river and lake regions, with round seeds resembling pea grains. Shen Chestnuts originate from Guiyang, with fruits as large as apricot kernels. ("As stated in the *Classic of Poetry*: 'Planting Shen and Chestnut trees' refers to this.") Maoli Chestnuts grow throughout Jiangnan, resembling chestnuts but rounder and finer. Xuanli Chestnuts are produced only north of the Yangtze River, with a round apex and pointed tip. Gouli is commonly known as Sweet Chu (Sweet Castanopsis), (also called Chaogouzi), which thickens the stomach and intestines and fleshes the body. Zhu Chestnut is often bitterly referred to as Chu by people, stopping diarrhea and dysentery while promoting mobility. Making powder from it is also excellent, cooling the Heart and benefiting the Stomach. Decoction of skins and leaves in water can be tasted/taken to treat persistent postpartum hemorrhage.
Pomegranate (Punica granatum)
Taste: sweet, sour. Non-toxic. The original species originated from the Western Regions, brought back by Zhang Qian during his diplomatic missions. Planted in gardens everywhere as ornamentation. Flowers that are red yield fruits with a sweet taste, suitable as fruit accompaniment for wine; flowers that are white yield fruits with a sour taste, suitable for medicinal rescue. Consuming the arils generates body fluids and greatly relieves thirst. Overconsumption damages teeth causing blackening, and also harms the Lungs, so prevention is necessary. The peel is also a single-herb prescription capable of securing essence and stopping leakage. It treats pain caused by Wind pathogens in bones and tendons, and is suitable for decoction for inability to walk due to foot and knee issues; it is suitable for washing to treat red eyes and flowing cold tears. It can also dye hair white/black and still treats dental caries caused by worms. Powdered petals blown into the nose immediately stop epistaxis (nosebleeds) with miraculous efficacy. If metal weapon wounds are not healed, mix with calcined alum (Duan Shi) and apply externally. Additionally, the root growing eastward, taking the bark and decocting it strongly, kills tapeworms (Inermicapsifer) and roundworms (Ascaris) excellently.
(Chen Jiamo) Commentary: Zhu Danxi said: "Liu" (Pomegranate) implies "staying/retaining". Taste is sour, nature is stagnant/cloying. The juice can linger in the chest and diaphragm forming phlegm, so patients should indeed abstain. However, observing the claims of damaging teeth and harming the Lungs, even ordinary people suffer harm from excessive consumption, let alone patients?
