这就是俗称的黄荆条。它不是蔓荆。到处都有生长。它的木质中心是方形的。枝条是对生的。一根枝条上有五片或七片叶子，形状像榆树叶但更长，叶尖边缘有锯齿。五月末，开出红紫色的花，呈穗状。果实像胡荽（香菜），外面包裹着白色的膜。
茎和叶：
味苦，气寒。
附方：
九窍出血：将荆叶捣碎取汁，用酒调和，服用二合。
腰脚风湿痛不止：将荆茎放在坛中燃烧产生烟雾，熏蒸涌泉穴及疼痛部位，使身体出汗即可痊愈。
荆沥：
气味甘平。能去除心胸烦闷发热、头晕目眩、心中荡漾想呕吐、突然失音。治疗小儿心热引起的惊痫，止消渴，祛除痰唾，使人难以入睡（注：此处原文“令人不睡”结合语境及丹溪用法，通常指清热除烦后神志安宁，或指其主治症状包含因热导致的失眠/烦躁不安，但直译为“使人不睡”易产生歧义，结合中医常规理解，此处应理解为治疗因心热导致的烦躁不安、难以安卧之症，或者原文意指其功效在于解决这些导致无法安睡的问题。鉴于要求忠实原文，暂按字面意思处理，但需注意中医逻辑通常为“安神”。若依《本草纲目》等典籍，荆沥多用于清热化痰，治惊悸。此处“令人不睡”可能是指治疗“令人不睡”这一病症，即治疗失眠。让我们再仔细推敲：“止消渴...令人不睡”如果是并列症状，则是治疗让人睡不着的病；如果是功效，则矛盾。参考李时珍语：“二汁同功...”，竹沥荆沥皆清热化痰。通常用于热病神昏、惊风。故“令人不睡”应为所治之症，即治疗因热扰心神导致的失眠/烦躁）。这是治疗心风的第一要药。（贞白）认为化痰去风是妙药。凡是患风病的人多伴有热象，常宜用竹沥、荆沥、姜汁各五合，混合均匀加热服用，以病愈为度。（濒湖）说这两种汁功效相同，并用姜汁送服则不会凝滞。但是气虚不能进食的人，用竹沥；气实能进食的人，用荆沥。（丹溪）对于心虚惊悸、身体消瘦的人，用荆沥二升，煎煮至一升六合，分成四份，白天服三次，夜间服一次。
〔论〕 牡荆汁性冷而甜，所以丹溪认为气实能进食的人用荆沥。参考荆叶治疗九窍出血的功效，这种味道似乎能在阳中守阴，因此治疗心风被推崇为第一。再看治疗心虚惊悸的方子，就知道它符合离中之坎（心属火为离，肾水藏于心为坎，或指心肾相交、水火既济之意，此处指其具有滋阴潜阳、交通心肾的作用），并能守住根本。
取沥法：
用新采摘的荆茎，截取数尺长，架在两砖上，烧中间部分，用容器在两头承接。热服。另一种方法：截取三四寸长，束入瓶中，再用一个瓶子扣在上面，固定外部，用糠火煨烧。汁液滴入下面的瓶中，也很好。
木芙蓉：
又名拒霜。到处都有生长。插条就能成活。叶子、花、根皮都可以使用。
味微辛，气平，性质滑腻且粘涎。主要功效是清肺凉血，散热解毒。治疗一切痈疽肿毒恶疮，消肿排脓止痛。对于一切痈疽发背、乳痈、恶疮，无论是否已成脓、是否已破溃，都用芙蓉叶，或根皮，或花，生研或干研成末，用生蜜调匀涂抹在肿胀部位四周，中间留出脓头。干了就频繁更换。初起时就会觉得清凉，痛止肿消。已成脓的，就会脓聚毒出。已破溃的，脓出容易收敛，效果不可言喻。或者加入生赤小豆末，尤其奇妙。
This is commonly known as Huangjing Tiao (Celtis sinensis twig). It is not Manjing (Vitex negundo). It grows everywhere. Its pith is square. The branches are opposite. One branch has five or seven leaves, resembling elm leaves but longer, with serrated edges and pointed tips. At the end of May, it blooms with red-purple flowers in spikes. The seeds resemble Coriandri Fructus (Husu, coriander) and are wrapped in a white membrane.
Stems and Leaves:
Bitter in taste, cold in nature.
Attached Prescriptions:
Bleeding from the nine orifices: Crush the leaves of Celtis sinensis to extract juice, mix with wine, and take two he (a traditional unit of volume).
Unremitting wind-damp pain in the waist and legs: Burn the stems of Celtis sinensis in an urn to produce smoke, fumigate the Yongquan (KI-1) acupoint and the painful areas until sweating occurs, which leads to recovery.
Jing Li (Celtis sinensis Juice):
Sweet and neutral in flavor and nature. It removes chest and heart oppression, irritability, and heat; dizziness and vertigo; a sensation of fullness in the heart with nausea; sudden loss of voice. It treats pediatric heart-heat causing fright and epilepsy, stops thirst (Xiaoke), eliminates phlegm and saliva, and addresses insomnia caused by heat. It is considered the premier remedy for Xin Feng (Heart Wind). (Zhenbai) States that resolving phlegm and expelling wind is its miraculous efficacy. For those suffering from wind diseases who often have heat, it is advisable to mix Zhuli (Bamboo Sap), Jing Li, and Jiang Zhi (Ginger Juice), each five he, blend them evenly, warm them, and drink. Take until cured. (Binhu) Notes that the two juices have similar functions; taking them with ginger juice prevents stagnation. However, for those with Qi deficiency unable to eat, use Zhuli; for those with Qi excess able to eat, use Jing Li. (Danxi) For those with Heart Qi deficiency presenting with palpitations and emaciation, use two sheng of Jing Li, decoct until one sheng and six dou remain, divide into four portions, administer three times during the day and once at night.
[Discussion]
Mojing juice is cold and sweet, hence Danxi stated that those with Qi excess and good appetite should use Jing Li. Considering the efficacy of Jing Ye (Celtis sinensis Leaf) in treating bleeding from the nine orifices, this substance seems capable of "guarding Yin within Yang," thus being ranked first for treating Heart Wind. Observing the prescription for Heart deficiency with palpitations further confirms its alignment with the concept of Kan residing within Li (referring to the interaction of Water and Fire, or Kidney and Heart), thereby securing the root.
Method for Extracting Juice:
Use freshly harvested Celtis sinensis stems, cut into several chi long, place them across two bricks, and burn the middle section. Use vessels at both ends to collect the dripping juice. Take while hot. Another method: Cut into three or four cun lengths, bundle into a bottle, cover with another bottle, seal tightly externally, and roast slowly using bran fire. The juice drips into the lower bottle, which is also effective.
Mu Furong (Hibiscus mutabilis):
Also known as Jushuang. Grows everywhere. It propagates easily from cuttings. The leaves, flowers, and root bark are all usable.
Slightly pungent in taste, neutral in nature, slippery and viscous in texture. It primarily clears the Lungs, cools the Blood, dissipates heat, and resolves toxicity. It treats all types of carbuncles, sores, swellings, toxic ulcers, reduces swelling, discharges pus, and relieves pain. For all carbuncles, back abscesses, breast abscesses, and malignant sores, regardless of whether they have formed pus or ruptured, use Mu Furong Ye (Leaf), Gen Pi (Root Bark), or Hua (Flower). Grind fresh or dry powder, mix with raw honey, and apply around the periphery of the swollen area, leaving the center open (to allow pus drainage). Change frequently when dry. In the early stage, it feels cool, pain stops, and swelling subsides. If pus has formed, toxins are expelled with pus. If already ruptured, pus drains easily and healing accelerates; the efficacy is indescribable. Adding powder of fresh Chi Xiaodou (Adzuki Bean) is especially excellent.
