(其香有三等一者名遗香是麝子脐闭满其麝自于石上用蹄尖挥脐落处一里草木不生并焦

(刮取屑细研用)
(自煎者良酒 化服为上或用麦门冬橘红砂仁煎汤化服 入丸用酒或水顿化和蜜或炒成

(麝香的香气分为三个等级:第一种名为“遗香”,是麝子脐部闭合饱满时,麝在石头上用蹄尖磨蹭脐部,落处一里内的草木不生且呈焦黄色。人若能得到这种香,价格与明珠相当。第二种名为“膝香”,采集后非常适用。第三种名为“心结香”,因被犬兽惊吓导致心脏破裂,因而狂乱奔走混杂于群中,随后乳汁流入水中被人收集,掰开可见心脏流出的血液凝结在脾脏上形成一个干血块,若在清晨隔着山涧闻到这种香气,则是香中的次品。凡使用麝香,都应在子日开启,并用细筛研筛后使用。其中“当门子”品质最佳。凡使用时需单独研磨,忌食大蒜。)
(黄牛的胆汁有四类:第一类是“生神黄”,是通过欺骗手段获得的;第二类是“角黄”,是从牛角中取得的;第三类是“心黄”,是在牛病死后识别并剥取,劈开牛心,其胆汁位于心中,状如浓稠的黄酱汁,采集后立即投入水中,遇水后便像碎蒺藜籽或豆子大小,坚硬如帝珠子;第四类是“肝黄”,其牛身上光泽,眼睛如血色,常被把玩欣赏,照水自有夜光,令人恐惧,或者有人另外采集。凡使用牛黄,必须先单独捣碎细研如尘,然后用绢布包裹,再用嫩牛皮包裹,放置在井面上距离水面三四尺的地方,过夜至第二天早晨才取出使用。人参作为其引经药;配合牡丹、菖蒲可利耳目;恶龙骨、龙胆、地黄、常山、蜚蠊;畏牛膝、干漆。)
(刮取犀角的屑末,细细研磨后使用。)
(自行煎煮的犀角较好,用酒化服为最佳,或者用麦门冬、橘红、砂仁煎汤化服。入丸剂时用酒或水顿服,和蜜或炒成珠也可以。用火炮制后效果良好;畏大黄。)
(油绿色、光亮可鉴人的为真品。凡使用前,先在猪脂中浸泡一夜,至次日取出,在柳木火上炙烤,待炮制完成后即可研磨使用。也可以用蛤粉炒成珠状使用更为方便。薯蓣为其引经药;得火良;畏大黄。)
(凡收贮白马茎,应选取无病的银色白马,在春季发情交配时,选择体力气势正强的公马,活体获取后阴干。有一百天的方法:用铜刀将其剖成七片,用生羊血拌蒸半天,晒干后用粗布去除毛及干血,锉碎后使用。)
(Crush into powder for use in pills; the contraindications during grinding are the same as those of Longgu [Fossilized Bones].)
(The fragrance of Moschus (She Xiang, 麝香) is divided into three grades. The first is called "Yixiang" (Relic Fragrance), which occurs when the musk deer's abdominal gland is full and closed; the deer rubs its gland against rocks with its hooves, causing vegetation within a one-li radius to wither and turn scorched yellow. If humans obtain this fragrance, its price equals that of pearls. The second is called "Xixiang" (Knee Fragrance), which is collected and highly usable. The third is called "Xinjie Xiang" (Heart-Knot Fragrance); it results from the deer being startled by dogs or beasts, causing its heart to rupture, leading to frantic running among herds. Subsequently, milk mixes with water and is collected by humans; upon breaking open, one sees blood flowing from the heart and coagulating with the spleen into a dry blood clot. If this scent can be smelled across a mountain stream early in the morning, it is considered an inferior grade of fragrance. Whenever using Moschus, it should be opened on the Zi day (11 PM - 1 AM), finely ground, and sifted before use. The "Dangmenzi" (crystals near the opening of the gland) is of the best quality. It must be separately ground before use. Avoid consuming garlic.)
(There are four types of Niuhuang [Calculus Bovis, 牛黄]: The first is "Shengshenhuan" (Living Spirit Gallstone), obtained through deception. The second is "Jiaohuang" (Horn Gallstone), taken from the horns. The third is "Xinhuan" (Heart Gallstone), identified after the cow dies of illness, then slaughtered and dissected; the gallbladder located in the heart contains bile resembling thick yellow sauce. Upon collection, it is immediately thrown into water, where it resembles crushed Tribulus seeds or beans, hard as imperial beads. The fourth is "Ganhuan" (Liver Gallstone); the cow has a lustrous body and blood-red eyes, often handled and admired, possessing a night-glowing quality that inspires fear, or it may be collected by others. Whenever using Niuhuang, it must first be individually pounded and finely ground into dust, wrapped in silk gauze, then further wrapped in tender yellow oxhide, and placed on the surface of a well, three to four chi below the water level, left overnight, and retrieved the next morning. Ginseng acts as its guiding herb; combined with Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex) and Shichangpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma), it benefits the ears and eyes; it is incompatible with Longgu, Longdancao (Gentianae Radix), Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix), Changshan ( Dichroae Radix), and Feilian (Blatta Orientalis); it fears Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix) and Ganqi (Dammar Resin).)
(Scrape off the shavings, grind them finely, and use.)
(Self-decocted Rhinoceros Horn (Xijiao, 犀角) is superior; dissolving it in wine for administration is the best method, or dissolving it in a decoction of Maimendong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Juhong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum), and Sharen (Amomi Fructus). For use in pills, dissolve in wine or water, mix with honey, or stir-fry into bead-like shapes. Fire-processing enhances its efficacy; it is incompatible with Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma).)
(Those that are oil-green and bright enough to reflect images are authentic. Before use, soak them in pig lard overnight. The next day, roast them over willow wood fire until processed, then grind for use. Alternatively, stir-frying with Gefen (Meretrix Shell Powder) into bead-like shapes is convenient. Dioscorea (Shuyu) acts as its guiding herb; fire-processing enhances its efficacy; it is incompatible with Dahuang.)
(When collecting Ma Bai Jian [Equus Penis, 白马茎], select a silver-colored male horse without disease. During the spring mating season, choose males with strong vitality and power. Obtain them alive, then shade-dry for processing. One method involves cutting them into seven slices with a copper knife, steaming them mixed with fresh sheep blood for half a day, drying them, removing hairs and dried blood with coarse cloth, and finally chopping them into fragments for use.)
