[Guibai] (Arctostaphylos Fructus / Arisaema Rhizome variant - Note: Text describes a specific folk medicinal plant often identified with Arisaema or related species in ancient texts, literally "Ghost Palm")
Taste is acrid (Pungent), nature is warm. It primarily kills gu poison (parasitic disease caused by malevolent spirits). It repels Guizhu (a contagious disease attributed to spirit influence) and essence entities. It wards off evil qi and inauspiciousness. It drives away pathogenic factors. It resolves hundred toxins. Also known as Juexi. Also known as Muming Dougong. Also known as Jiujiu. Grows in mountain valleys.
Shame-cold hides itself. Eight-cornered spiritual wonder. Face green, back red. Facing east, drooping west. Like side-by-side stars. Giant eyes slanting to peek. Qiongtian fungus ripens. Three 'mortars' forget hunger.
*Yidu Fangwu Lueji* records: The rhizomes connect flowers covering leaves, hiding its name as Shame-flower. Li Shizhen said: Alchemists harvest the roots to refine mercury; those with eight-angled leaves are most efficacious. Gao Qi's poem says: "Spiritual wonders must be thoroughly searched." *Danfang Jianyuan* records: Leaves grow at the stem tips, green on the face and red on the back. Su Song said: One leaf like an umbrella, facing east in the morning, tilting west by evening, following the sun's rising and setting. The root resembles Nanxing (*Arisaema Rhizoma*), with eight or nine pieces overlapping side by side. Tao Hongjing said: The white part of the root resembles a horse's eye and is soft and moist. *Gushan Zhushi* records: Yuzhi is also called Qiongtian Cao, which is Guibai. Boil dough skin, wrap one 'mortar' and swallow it. After several days, one feels no hunger. Eating three 'mortars' allows for Bigu (grain avoidance).
[Yangtao] (Celastrus Seed / Celastrus Fructus variant - Text refers to *Changchu*, likely *Celastrus orbiculatus*)
Taste is bitter, nature is cold. It primarily treats body heat with sudden redness, Fengshui (wind-water edema), Jiju (accumulations and masses), Eyang (malignant sores). It clears pediatric heat. Also known as Weitao. Also known as Yangchang. Grows in river valleys.
Changchu is slender and soft. Weakly relying on forests. Fine wheat sways in wind. Young peach dances in spring. Water ripples with slippery saliva. Spread on land like a flat palm. Prepare to brew soup. Rub and grind for itching.
Tao Hongjing said: Abundant in mountains and wilds. The *Classic of Poetry* says: "In the wetlands there is Changchu," referring to this plant. *Poetry Commentary* records: Its branches and stems are weak, extending over a foot to climb trees via vines. *Erya Commentary* records: Seeds resemble wheat, also similar in shape to peaches. Han Baosheng said: Flowers and leaves resemble peach trees. Li Shizhen said: Its branches soaked in water produce slippery mucus. Leaves are large as a palm. Chen Cangqi said: Roots soaked in wine treat wind-heat. Su Gong said: Decoction washed on the skin effectively treats wind-induced itching. Huang Tingjian's poem says: "Rubbing and grinding aids the wind against itching."
[Nvqing] (Ophiopogon Root / Ophiopogonis Radix variant - Text distinguishes between vine and herb types, referencing Shehan/Snake Containment)
Taste is acrid (Pungent), nature is neutral. It primarily treats gu poison. It drives away evil qi. It kills Guiwen malaria (malaria attributed to ghost influence). It wards off inauspiciousness. Also known as Quepiao.
Qingshu Luohuo. This is grass, not a vine. Shoots bitten by snakes. Roots also dragon-rising. Difficult to store drinking in a gourd. Tied together in a bag to hold. Purge and expel filth. Blessings and fortune are jointly received.
(Mowō qie - phonetic transcription)
Famous physicians say: This is the root of Shehan (Snake Containment). Li Shizhen said: Nvqing has two types. One is vine-growing, resembling Luohuo (Metaplexis); one is herb-growing, which is the root of Shehan. There are also large and small varieties. The small one is Sheyan, using shoots and stems; the large-leaved one is Longxian, using roots. Su Gong said: Fruits resemble gourd shapes, size like dates. Ge Hong said: Pound Nvqing into powder, store in a triangular crimson bag. On the Yin day of the first lunar month, hang it in the tent for good luck. Tao Hongjing said: Wearing one liang of this prevents epidemics. Hao Jing's poem says: "Expelling evil filth purifies." Lu Yun's poem says: "Fortune and blessings are received."
