（不要使用赤柳草根，它看起来很像茜根，只是味道涩，不能入药。如果误服，会导致患内瘴病，应立即服用甘草水来解毒。凡是用时，要用铜刀在槐木砧板上切碎晒干，不要接触铁和铅。畏鼠姑。可制雄黄。）

(Do not use the root of *Chiliopsis chinensis* (Chishuigen), which resembles *Qiancao* (Radix Rubiae). It is only astringent in taste and should not be used in medicine. If ingested, it may cause internal miasma; immediately administer Licorice Water (Gancao Shui) to detoxify. When processing, chop with a copper knife on a locust wood cutting board, dry in the sun, avoiding contact with iron and lead. Averse to *Shugu* (Paeonia suffruticosa). Can process *Xionghuang* (Realgar).)
(The variety from Liaodong is superior. Remove withered parts, split into two pieces with a copper knife, soak in honey, steam from Si hour to Shen hour, or dry in sun/oven.)
(Flowers harvested in April, vines and leaves at any time, all dried in shade, avoiding direct sunlight and fire.)
(When using, steep in concentrated salt juice and concentrated *Baibu* decoction together during the Sanfu period, drain and dry. Then mix with *Shengdihuang* juice, steam from Wu hour to Hai hour, and dry. Averse to *Mudanpi*. *Beimu*, *Badou*. Subdue *Liuhuang*.)

Raw use: *Qinjiao* as guiding herb. Averse to *Huangqin*, *Huanglian*, *Tianshufen*. Kills toxicity of *Banxia*, *Nanxing*, *Langdang*.)
(Should not be used cooked. Best crushed and juiced; add to decoction after completion to retain the meaning of "fresh ginger". If boiled in medicine, it becomes mature ginger, not fresh ginger. Guiding/Aversive/Killing properties same as *Ganjiang*.)
(Steam or stir-fry until cooked, crush and remove thorns. Avoid pork, horse meat, and rice washing water.)
(White and starchy is superior.)
(Dissolve alcohol by decocting and drinking.)
(White and starchy is superior. *Gouqi* as guiding herb. Averse to *Ganjiang*. Fear *Niuxi*, *Ganqi*.)
