【梅实】
味道酸，性平。主要作用是降气。消除因热引起的烦闷胀满。使心神安宁，缓解肢体疼痛。治疗半身不遂、肢体麻木不仁、肌肉坏死。去除皮肤上的青黑色斑点（痣）。治疗恶疾。生长在川谷之中。
迎接雨水摇动风中，梅子挂在枝头层层叠叠。咀嚼时牙齿感到酸软，津液回流；皱眉间口渴得以停止。制作肉脍时常加入梅子，调和羹汤时风味极佳。百颗梅子的酸味足以让众人品尝。盘中的桃李相比之下显得逊色。
《风土记》记载：夏至前称为“迎梅雨”。《风俗通》记载：五月是落梅的风信。雷思霈的诗句：“半点微酸已着枝。”《汉书传》记载：“嘉瑞叠累。”陆游的诗句：“村醪捩齿酸。”《峨眉山志》记载：“累累梅实，可以回津。”黄庭坚的诗句：“北客未尝眉自颦。”罗隐的诗句：“曾与将军止渴来。”《礼记》记载：“脍兽用梅。”又说：“春多酸。”《尚书》记载：“若作和羹，尔为盐梅。”《南史传》记载：“柳恽可谓具美。”《淮南子》记载：“百梅足以为百人酸。”黄庭坚的诗句：“得升桃李盘。”
【大豆黄卷】
味道甘，性平。主要作用是治疗湿痹。缓解筋脉拘挛和膝盖疼痛。由生大豆发芽而成。外涂可治痈肿，煮汁内服可杀鬼毒、止痛。
赤小豆：主要作用是利水。排出痈肿脓血。生长于平泽之中。（大豆黄卷即豆类发芽之物）
吉陬壬癸日，覆盖豆子使其萌发。如玉般攒聚的豆粒裂开，冰脆的嫩芽萌出。粥分给人口数食用，算计布散于心精之中。形状殊异，聪慧辨别，豆荚谷物通名。
李时珍说：在壬癸日以井华水浸泡大豆，待其生出芽后使用。《诗疏》记载：“既方既皂”，指的是孚甲开始生长。方岳的诗句：“平明先视玉 磔，一夜怒长堪冰苴。”《田家五行》记载：煮赤豆粥，大人小孩都吃，称为“口数粥”，用以驱除瘟疫。《吴志传》记载：赵达精通九宫一算之术，取小豆数升，播撒在席子上，站立处即为数目。《吴志传》记载：顾谭心思精密，体察周密。《左传》记载：周子有兄而无慧，不能辨别菽麦。注解说：豆麦形状殊异，容易辨别。《群芳谱》记载：豆荚是谷物的总称。

Welcoming the rain amidst swaying winds, plums hang densely upon branches. The sourness makes teeth ache while saliva flows; furrowing brows quenches thirst.

At the auspicious corner on Ren-Gui days, covering beans causes them to sprout. Jade-like clusters split open, ice-crisp teeth萌 out. Porridge distributed by mouth count, calculations spread through mental essence. Distinct forms, wise discernment, legumes share a common name.

Annotation: Beans and wheat have distinct shapes and are easy to differentiate. *Qunfang Pu* records: Legume pods are the general name for grains.
