【莽草】
味辛，性温。主治头风、头痈及肿毒。治疗乳痈、疝气、瘕积。消除体内结聚之气，治疗疥癣和皮肤瘙痒。杀灭鱼类寄生虫。生长在山谷中。
其性质令人迷惑（致人神志昏乱）。气味像花椒一样臭，令人厌恶。植株中空，开花结果。藤蔓缠绕在萝藤之上。狡猾地藏在老鼠洞中，毒性广泛散布于虫类之中。用于攻击熏蒸以清除蛀虫。对损害物品的害虫进行惩戒。
陶弘景说：莽草古字本作“芒”。李时珍说：食用后令人神志迷乱，因此得名。山中人用它来毒杀老鼠，所以又叫它“鼠莽”。寇宗奭说：揉搓它，气味像花椒。苏颂说：形状像石楠，但叶子稀疏，没有花和果实。另一种说法是藤本植物，缠绕在石头和树木之间。既然称为草，那么藤生的说法是正确的。《周礼》记载：剪氏掌管清除蛀虫的工作，用攻KT（一种药物或方法）攻击它们，用莽草熏蒸它们。
【雷丸】
味苦，性寒。主治杀灭三虫（蛔虫、蛲虫、绦虫等）。驱逐体内的毒瓦斯。治疗胃中热邪。对男子有利，对女子不利。可制作成按摩用的膏剂。治疗小儿的各种疾病。生长在山谷中。
茯苓依附于松根生长，雷丸藏于竹根之中。击打竹子岂能听到雷声？雨后增添生机，超过雨前。疏利有利于男性，需提防接近女性。幼童分食甘甜之果，累累如膏乳般滋润。
李时珍说：这是竹子剩余的气所凝结而成，就像松根下生长的茯苓一样。霹雳击打物体，精气所化。这种物产生于土中，杀虫驱邪，就像雷斧、雷楔一样。苏辙的诗写道：“过雨时添好子孙。”马志说：疏利男子的元气，不疏利女子的脏气。曹植的颂文提到：“草号宜男。”《国语》说：“这是谓远男而近女。”杜甫的诗写道：“笋根稚子无人见。”洪炎的诗写道：“分甘须剩。”苏轼的诗写道：“累累似桃李，一一流膏乳。”
【桐叶】
味苦，性寒。主治恶蚀疮疡附着于阴部皮肤。主治五种痔疮。杀灭三虫。桐花，主治敷贴猪的创口，喂猪可使猪肥大三倍。生长在山谷中。
土壤适宜五种肥沃之地，拱把粗细的优良桐树。朝阳下合抱粗的大树，参辰二星极高处空中。夏天提供凉爽的琼树荫蔽，冬天湿润毳毛般的温暖。仪态美好如君子，祥瑞应验于厢东。
《管子》说：五沃之土，适宜种植桐树。《孟子》说：拱把大小的桐树梓树。夏侯湛的赋写道：在庭前种植优良的桐树。《诗经》说：在那朝阳之下。陈翥的诗写道：合抱粗由滋长于此。嵇康的赋写道：参辰二星极高处高扬。《易纬》说：桐树枝干中空。高启的诗写道：夏天凉爽的琼树叶子舒展。徐茂的诗写道：湿润的毳毛桐枝别作花朵。《广州志》说：白桐花有白色毳毛，浸泡腌制后织造为布。《诗经》说：那桐那椅，果实累累。和蔼的君子，无不具有美好的仪态。《瑞应图》说：君王任用贤良，梧桐生于东厢。
[Mangcao (Radix Illicii Coriacei / Daphne Genkwa? Note: Text implies a vine/herb with pepper-like odor, likely *Illicium* or similar aromatic herb, but strictly translating based on text context)]
Pungent in flavor, warm in nature. It primarily treats head wind (wind affecting the head), head carbuncles, and swelling/toxins. It treats breast carbuncles, hernia, and mass accumulations (zhong jia). It resolves qi stagnation, treats scabies, and relieves skin itching. It kills parasites in fish. It grows in mountain valleys.
Its nature causes confusion (induces mental bewilderment). Its odor is like that of Sichuan pepper, which is detestable. The plant has hollow stems, produces flowers and fruits. Vines wrap around lianas. It cunningly hides in rat holes; its toxicity spreads widely among insects. It is used to attack and fumigate to eliminate wood-boring pests, punishing those creatures that damage items.
Tao Hongjing stated: The ancient character for Mang was "Mang" (芒). Li Shizhen stated: Eating it causes people to become confused/bewildered, hence the name. Mountain people use it to poison rats, so it is also called "Shu Mang" (Rat Mang). Kou Zongshi stated: Rubbing it releases an odor like Sichuan pepper. Su Song stated: It resembles *Photinia serratifolia* (Shi Nan), but has sparse leaves and no flowers or fruits. Another theory says it is a vine growing, winding between rocks and trees. Since it is called "cao" (grass/herb), the theory that it is a vine-growing plant is correct. The *Rites of Zhou* records: The Jian Shi (official in charge of eliminating pests) manages the removal of wood-boring insects, attacking them with Gong KT, and fumigating them with Mangcao.
[Leiwu (Fomes Officinalis / Polyporus Umbellatus? Context suggests a fungal/parasitic growth on bamboo roots, often identified as *Polyporus umbellatus* or similar in TCM, literally "Thunder Pill") ]
Bitter in flavor, cold in nature. It primarily kills the three types of parasites (roundworms, pinworms, tapeworms). It expels toxic vapors from the body. It treats heat in the stomach. It is beneficial for men but not for women. It can be made into a massage paste. It treats various diseases in children. It grows in mountain valleys.
Lingzhi (or Poria) resides at the pine roots; Leiwu hides within the bamboo roots. Can one hear thunder by striking bamboo? After rain, vitality increases, surpassing pre-rain levels. It promotes smooth flow and benefits males; caution is advised regarding females. Young children share its sweet taste; it hangs in clusters like ointment and milk.
Li Shizhen stated: It is formed from the residual qi of bamboo, just as Poria forms at the roots of pines. When lightning strikes objects, it is transformed from refined essence. This substance grows in the soil, killing parasites and driving away evil pathogens, similar to Thunder Axes or Thunder Wedges. Su Zhe's poem reads: "After the rain, good descendants are added." Ma Zhi stated: It promotes the smooth flow of male Yuan Qi (vital energy), but does not promote the smooth flow of female Zang Qi (visceral energy). Cao Zhi's ode mentions: "The grass is named Yi Nan" (Suitable for Men - referring to *Actaea spicata* or similar, here used metaphorically or erroneously linked). The *Guoyu* states: "This is called distancing men and approaching women." Du Fu's poem reads: "The young children at the root of bamboo shoots are unseen by anyone." Hong Yan's poem reads: "Sharing sweetness must remain." Su Shi's poem reads: "Clusters resembling peaches and plums, all flowing with ointment and milk."
[Tongye (Catalpae Folium / Leaf of Catalpa Tree)]
Bitter in flavor, cold in nature. It primarily treats malignant erosive ulcers attached to the skin of the genitals. It treats five types of hemorrhoids. It kills the three types of parasites. Tonghua (Catalpa flower) primarily treats applying poultices to pig wounds; feeding pigs with it makes them three times fatter. It grows in mountain valleys.
The soil suits five fertile types; the fine catalpa tree is about arm-span thick. Under the morning sun, they stand with trunks embracing each other; reaching up to the stars Shen and Chen in the high sky. In summer, they provide cool jade-like shade; in winter, they retain warmth like moist down. They possess the demeanor of a gentleman; auspicious signs appear in the eastern wing.
The *Guanzi* states: In the five fertile soils, the catalpa tree is suitable. The *Mencius* states: Catalpa and catalpa trees of arm-span thickness. Xiahou Zhan's fu writes: Planting fine catalpa trees in front of the courtyard. The *Classic of Poetry* states: On that sunny hill. Chen Zhu's poem reads: "An embrace-thick trunk grows from nourishment here." Ji Kang's fu writes: "Reaching the poles of Shen and Chen, soaring high." The *Yi Wei* states: The branches of the catalpa tree are hollow inside. Gao Qi's poem reads: "Cool jade-like summer leaves unfold." Xu Mao's poem reads: "Moist down on catalpa branches blooms differently." The *Guangzhou Gazetteer* states: White catalpa flowers have white down; soaked and processed, they are woven into cloth. The *Classic of Poetry* states: "There is the catalpa, there is the elm, its fruits are abundant." The gentle and happy gentleman possesses every beautiful demeanor. The *Ru Ying Tu* states: When the ruler employs the virtuous and capable, the catalpa tree grows in the eastern wing.
