〔 曰〕凡使椿根，不近西头者为上。采出拌生葱蒸半日，锉细，以袋盛挂屋南畔，阴
干用。
〔时珍曰〕椿、樗木皮、根皮，并刮去粗皮，阴干，临时切焙入用。

【李时珍曰】干漆入药，必须捣碎后炒熟。否则，会损伤人的肠胃。如果是湿漆，煎煮至干燥更好。也有采用烧存性（烧至外部炭化而内部仍保留原有性质）的方法。
【雷斅曰】凡是使用椿根，以不靠近树西头部分者为上品。采挖出来后，拌入生葱蒸半个白天，切碎，用袋子装好挂在房屋南面，阴干后使用。
【李时珍曰】椿木皮、樗木皮以及根皮，都要刮去粗皮，阴干，临用时切片焙干后入药。
【陈嘉谟曰】凡是采挖晒干后，用酒拌匀使其渗透，蒸至皮软，刮去外皮，取内肉去核使用。凡是使用肉就不要用核，使用核就不要用肉。如果使用核，要捶碎，用浆水煮一个时辰（约两小时），然后晒干。其花落下的果实，称为石茱萸，不入药用。
【苏颂曰】凡是采挖得到后，去掉单子和五子的，只取有两子、三子的，用铜锤敲破，用乌牛乳浸泡一夜，蒸过后使用。
【寇宗奭曰】未开花时采收，陈久的药材为好，入药时炒用。染色工匠用水煮一沸后取出，其浓稠的渣滓制成饼状，染色更加鲜艳。
【雷斅曰】凡是使用，要选择红色肥厚且不被虫蛀的，用新汲取的水浸泡一夜，用铜刀削去粗皮，用酥油反复炙烤透彻，捶打去除……（原文此处有缺漏，推测为“去皮”或类似含义，但根据指令不增添内容，故仅翻译可见部分）依……
【雷斅曰】拣选圆满坚硬且不蛀的，用甑煮熟，剥去一层硬皮，取里面白色的肉两片，去掉黄色部分，用铜刀切开，晒干使用。其黄色部分会消耗人的肾气。
【雷斅曰】凡是使用，不要接触铜铁，也不要被火惊吓。选用颗粒小、无米（指无仁/无肉）的为妙。用浆水在砂盆中研磨至尽，焙干后再研，呈乌犀色后入药。
【李时珍曰】凡是使用诃黎勒（诃子），先用酒浸泡，再蒸一个时辰，用刀削去果核，取肉切碎焙干后使用。如果使用核则去掉肉。
【李时珍曰】凡是使用，不要用三四年的（因为药效无力），要用二十年以上的（虽然心空，但仍有特性），这种树只有半边，向西生长的为佳。剥去粗皮，细切后蒸制，从巳时到未时（约上午9点至下午3点），取出，焙干后使用。
[Li Shizhen said] When Ganqi (Dried Lacquer) is used for medicinal purposes, it must be crushed and stir-fried until cooked. Otherwise, it will damage the stomach and intestines. If it is wet lacquer, boiling it until dry is better. There are also methods of burning it to retain its properties (charred but retaining efficacy).
[Lei Xiao said] Whenever Chun Gen (Cortex Toosendan or Ailanthus Root) is used, the parts not near the western end of the tree are considered superior. After harvesting, mix it with raw scallions and steam for half a day. Then chop it finely, place it in a bag, hang it on the south side of the house, and dry it in the shade for use.
[Li Shizhen said] The bark of Chun (Toona sinensis), Chu (Ailanthus altissima), and their roots should have the rough outer bark scraped off, dried in the shade, and sliced and roasted before use.
[Chen Jiamo said] After harvesting and sun-drying, mix it thoroughly with wine, steam until the bark becomes soft, scrape off the outer skin, take the inner flesh, and remove the core. When using the flesh, do not use the core; when using the core, do not use the flesh. If using the core, crush it, boil it in fermented grain water for one shichen (two hours), and then sun-dry. The fruit that falls after the flowers fade is called Shi Zhuyu (Lithocarpus fructus), which is not used medicinally.
[Su Song said] After harvesting, discard those with single seeds or five seeds; only select those with two or three seeds. Crush them with a copper hammer, soak them in black ox milk overnight, and steam before use.
[Kou Zongshi said] Harvest before flowering; aged material is superior. Stir-fry before use. Dyers boil it in water for one boil, remove it, and form the thick residue into cakes, which produce brighter colors.
[Lei Xiao said] For use, select those that are red, plump, and free from insect damage. Soak them in fresh well water overnight. Scrape off the rough bark with a copper knife, roast thoroughly with su (animal fat/butter) repeatedly, and beat to remove... [text missing] ...Yi...
[Lei Xiao said] Select those that are round, hard, and free from insect damage. Cook them in a steamer, peel off one layer of hard skin, take two pieces of white inner flesh, remove the yellow part, cut with a copper knife, and sun-dry for use. The yellow part consumes kidney qi.
[Lei Xiao said] Do not let it come into contact with copper or iron, and avoid sudden heat/fire shock. It is best to use small granules without kernels. Grind it completely in a mortar with fermented grain water, roast until dry, grind again, and use when it turns the color of black rhino horn.
[Li Shizhen said] When using Helile (Chebulae Fructus / Terminalia chebula), soak it in wine, then steam for one shichen. Scrape off the seed with a knife, take the flesh, chop it, roast it, and use. If using the seed, remove the flesh.
[Li Shizhen said] Do not use material from three or four years old as it lacks potency. Use material from trees over twenty years old; although the heart may be hollow, it is effective. Trees that grow only on one side, facing west, are considered good. Peel off the rough bark, chop finely, steam from Si hour to Wei hour (9 AM to 3 PM), take out, roast until dry, and use.
