味甘、咸，气寒。无毒。在山野道路两旁到处生长。又名牛舌草，又被称为虾蟆衣。叶子中间长出花茎，花茎上结籽。种子细小类似葶苈，在端午节时采收。专入膀胱经，兼治肝脏病证。通利小便，治疗淋证（以小便频数短涩、滴沥刺痛为主症）的淋漓涩痛，防止精气外泄是其奇特之处；驱散风热引起的目赤肿痛，迅速去除翳膜确实奇妙。能祛除湿痹，能促进分娩。补益精髓，强壮阴气，使人易于生育。所以现今种子方剂中制作的五子衍宗丸，包含枸杞、菟丝子、五味子、覆盆子，也列入了车前子的名字，大概就是因为得到了这种说法的缘故。将根叶捣碎取生汁饮用，可治疗各种鼻出血、痢疾和尿血。也能通利水道，能够驱逐气癃（因气滞导致的小便不通）。长期服用可使身体轻健，延年益寿。

（又名落帚子。）味苦，气寒。无毒。生长在平原沼泽之中，苗名为铁扫帚。叶子像荆芥，种子像蚕沙。秋末采收，阴干后入药。专门通利水道，清除膀胱热邪。多服可补益精髓、强壮阴气，久服可明目聪耳。用其洗澡可消除皮肤瘙痒和热疹，洗眼可去除热暗、雀盲（夜盲）、涩痛。将叶子捣碎绞汁服用，又能消散各种恶疮毒邪。用于泄泻可分利渗湿，治疗血痢兼能驱除病邪。
味咸、苦、甘，气平、微寒。无毒。川泽地区多生长，苗高数尺。叶子类似苜蓿且宽大，可以做蔬菜食用；种子像绿豆一样锐圆，可以入药煎煮。冬季采收并曝晒，捣碎后才能煎煮。忌与火麻仁同用，畏使君子及蓍实。清除肝热尤其能调和肝气，收敛眼泪并且止住眼疼。确实是明目的仙丹，因此得名“决明”。还能止住鼻衄，用水调匀药末急贴于脑心部位；更有益寿延龄之效，用蜜制成丸剂空腹吞服。治疗头风头痛需要筑枕卧睡，消肿毒也可调水外敷。能驱除头痛，解除蛇毒。
第二卷青葙子条目之后（陈嘉谟）按语：宜参考查看。
Cheqianzi (Plantaginis Semen)
Taste: Sweet, salty. Nature: Cold. Toxicity: Non-toxic. It grows everywhere in the mountains, wilds, and along roadsides. Also known as Niushucao (Cow-tongue Grass), it is also called Xiamayi (Toad's Clothing). The flower stalk rises from among the leaves, and seeds are formed on top of the stalk. The seeds are small and resemble Tingli (Descurainiae Semen seu Herba). They are harvested during the Duanwu Festival (5th day of the 5th lunar month). It specifically enters the Bladder Meridian and also treats Liver conditions. It promotes urination to treat Lin syndrome (dysuria characterized by frequent, urgent, painful, or difficult urination) with dribbling and astringent pain; preventing the loss of essence is considered its unique efficacy. It dispels wind-heat causing redness and swelling pain in the eyes, and rapidly removes nebula (corneal opacity), which is truly wonderful. It can expel damp-bi (painful obstruction syndrome due to dampness); it can facilitate childbirth. It benefits essence and strengthens Yin, enabling fertility. Therefore, in the current seed-based formula Wuzi Yanzong Wan (Five-Seed Procreation Pill), which contains Gouqi (Lycii Fructus), Tusizi (Cuscutae Semen), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus), and Fupenzi (Rubiae Fructus), Cheqianzi is also listed among its ingredients, likely due to this understanding. Crushing the roots and leaves to extract fresh juice for drinking treats various forms of epistaxis, dysentery, and hematuria. It also promotes water passages and can drive out Qi-long (urinary retention due to Qi stagnation). Long-term consumption lightens the body and prolongs life.
Difuzi (Kochiae Fructus) produced in Mizhou
Difuzi (Kochiae Fructus) produced in Shuzhou
(Also known as Luoshuzi.) Taste: Bitter. Nature: Cold. Toxicity: Non-toxic. It grows in plains and marshes. Its seedling is named Tiesaozhou (Iron Broom). The leaves resemble Jingjie (Schizonepetae Herba), and the seeds resemble Can Sha (Bombyx Batryticatus). Harvested at the end of autumn, dried in the shade for medicinal use. It specializes in promoting water passages and clearing heat from the Bladder. Frequent consumption benefits essence and strengthens Yin; long-term consumption brightens the eyes and sharpens hearing. Bathing with it eliminates skin pruritus and hot rashes; washing the eyes removes heat-induced dim vision, nyctalopia (night blindness), astringency, and pain. Crushing the leaves and extracting juice for oral administration also dissipates toxins from various malignant sores. For diarrhea, it separates turbidity and promotes leaching; for bloody dysentery, it drives out pathogenic factors.
Juemingzi (Cassiae Semen)
Taste: Salty, bitter, sweet. Nature: Neutral, slightly cold. Toxicity: Non-toxic. It grows abundantly in river valleys and marshes. The plant reaches several feet in height. The leaves are broad like Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and can be used as vegetables; the seeds are sharp and round like Mung beans and can be used in prescriptions. Harvested in winter and sun-dried; crushed before decoction. It is incompatible with Huomaren (Hemp Seed) and adverse to Shiren (Saposhnikoviae Radix) and Shishi (Astragali Complanati Semen). It clears Liver heat and harmonizes Liver Qi especially well; it stops tearing and relieves eye pain. It is indeed an immortal pill for brightening the eyes, hence the fine reputation of "Jueming" (Deciding Clarity). It also stops epistaxis; applying powder mixed with water urgently to the brain center (Baihui area) is effective. It further adds to longevity; taking honey-pilled pills on an empty stomach is beneficial. Treating Toufeng (head wind/headache) requires sleeping with a built-up pillow; reducing swelling and detoxifying can be done by applying water-mixed paste externally. It drives away headache and resolves snake venom.
