粉锡
味辛，性寒，无毒。主治潜伏体内的尸毒虫咬，杀灭三虫（蛔虫、蛲虫、姜片虫），消除鳖瘕（腹部结块），治疗恶疮，堕胎，止住小便过多。又名解锡。
陶弘景说：就是现在用化铅制成的胡粉。其中有金色的，治疗尸虫效果更好，却称之为粉锡，这与经典记载不符。
《唐本草》注说：铅丹、胡粉，实际上是用锡制造的。陶弘景现在说是用铅制作的，《经》文中称为粉锡，也是错误的。现在的注释依据《本经》称其为粉锡，然而它实际上是铅粉。所以李勣在序言中说：铅和锡难以分辨的，大概指的就是这个。臣禹锡等人谨慎地按照《药性论》说：
胡粉，作为药物使用，又名定粉。味甘、辛，无毒。能治疗积聚不消，焦炒后使用，可止住小儿疳痢。陈藏器说：胡粉，除了原有功效外，主治久痢成疳。用水调和鸡蛋清服用，以大便变黑为限度，这是因为它杀虫而止痢。日华子说：光粉，性凉，无毒。治疗痈肿溃烂，呕吐逆气，治疗症瘕，小儿疳气。
《图经》在“铅条”条目下已有详细记载。
《外台秘要》：误吞钱币以及金银物品。用胡粉一两，捣碎调匀，分两次服用，饮水使水银与金像泥一样，吞入腹中的金银物，服用此药使其溶解排出。《千金方》：治疗疮中出水。胡粉、炭灰各等分，用油脂调和涂抹在孔上，水即停止。又一方：治疗各种腋臭。胡粉三合，用牛脂调和，煎至可制成丸状，涂抹患处。《肘后方》：治疗重病初起过早劳累，饮食多导致复发濒死的方法：用水送服少量胡粉。《伤寒类要》与此相同。又一方：治疗突然从高处落下，瘀血攻心，面色青紫，短气濒死的方法：胡粉一钱匕，用水调服，即可痊愈。孙真人《食忌》：治疗火烧疮，用胡粉、羊髓调和涂抹，封裹患处。《食医心镜》：治疗小儿舌上疮。取胡粉末并猪骨中髓敷之，每日三次。张文仲：治疗干湿癣等及阴部常湿且臭，或形成疮疡。只用胡粉一味药撒粉其上，除去后即痊愈，常用非常有效。《肘后方》与此相同。又一方：治疗寸白虫（绦虫）。将胡粉熬制令其迅速干燥，清晨做成肉馅，将药方寸匕纳入其中，服用有很大疗效。又一方：小儿疳疮。胡粉熬制八分，用猪脂调和涂抹，以痊愈为度，用油也可以。《子母秘录》：小儿夜啼。胡粉用水调成三颗豆大小，每日三次服用。又一方：小儿腹胀。胡粉加盐熬制颜色改变，用来摩擦腹部，兼治腹皮发青。如果不处理，片刻就会死亡。又一方：治疗小儿无辜痢疾赤白兼成疳。胡粉熟蒸，熬制令颜色改变，用水送服。又一方：治疗小儿耳后月蚀疮，胡粉和土涂抹。《丹房镜源》说：胡粉可以制约硫黄，也可以用于外用柜。

Fenxi (Lead Carbonate)
Taste: Acrid. Nature: Cold. Toxicity: Non-toxic. Indications: Treats latent corpse-poison and insect stings; kills the "Three Parasites" (Ascaris, Enterobius, Fasciolopsis); eliminates biemia (abdominal masses); treats malignant sores; induces abortion; stops polyuria. Also known as Jiexi (Dissolving Tin).
Tao Hongjing stated: It is the Hu Fen (Basic Lead Carbonate) made by refining lead currently. The variety with a golden hue is more effective in treating corpse-parasites, yet it is called Fenxi, which contradicts the classic texts.
The *Tang Bencao* annotation states: Qiandan (Lead Tetroxide) and Hufen are actually made from tin. Tao's current statement that it is made from refined lead, and the *Classic* text calling it Fenxi, are both errors. Current annotations follow the *Benjing* in calling it Fenxi, but it is essentially Qianfen (Lead Powder). Therefore, Li Ji noted in his preface: "Those who cannot distinguish between lead and tin," likely refers to this substance. Minister Yuxi et al. cautiously followed the *Yaoxing Lun*, stating:
Hu Fen, when used as medicine, is also named Dingfen. Taste: Sweet, Acrid. Nature: Non-toxic. Capable of treating accumulated stagnation that does not dissipate; when charred, it stops infantile malnutrition dysentery. Chen Cangqi stated: Besides its original functions, Hu Fen treats chronic dysentery leading to malnutrition. Mixed with water and egg white for oral administration, taken until stools turn black, because it kills parasites and stops dysentery. Ri Huazi stated: Guangfen (Polished Powder), Nature: Cool, Non-toxic. Treats carbuncles and swelling with ulceration, vomiting and regurgitation, zhengjia (masses), and infantile malnutrition qi deficiency.
*Tujing Wenju* has detailed records under the entry for "Qiantiao" (Lead Strip).
*Waitai Miyao*: For accidentally swallowed coins and gold/silver objects. Use one liang of Hu Fen, crush and mix; divide into two doses, take with water. It causes mercury and gold to become like mud, dissolving the swallowed gold/silver objects so they can be excreted. *Qianjin Fang*: To treat weeping sores. Mix equal parts of Hu Fen and charcoal ash, blend with animal fat, and apply to the opening; fluid secretion will stop. Another prescription: To treat various types of axillary osmidrosis. Take three he of Hu Fen, mix with beef tallow, boil until malleable into pills, and apply. *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*: For severe illness newly onset due to early overexertion, where excessive eating/drinking leads to recurrence and near-death state: Take a small amount of Hu Fen dissolved in water. *Shanghan Leiyao* agrees. Another prescription: For sudden fall from height, blood stasis attacking the heart, cyanotic face, shortness of breath, and near-death state: Take one qianbi of Hu Fen, mixed with water; recovery follows. Sun Simiao's *Shiji*: For burns, mix Hu Fen with sheep marrow, apply, and bandage. *Shiyi Xinjing*: For mouth ulcers on infants' tongues. Apply powder of Hu Fen mixed with pig bone marrow, three times daily. Zhang Wenzhong: For dry/wet tinea and perineal dampness with odor, or formation of sores. Simply dust with single herb Hu Fen; cessation occurs immediately, commonly proving highly effective. *Zhouhou Beiji Fang* agrees. Another prescription: For Taeniidae (tapeworm). Roast Hu Fen until thoroughly dry, form into meat-filled pill size, ingest at dawn; significant efficacy observed. Another prescription: Infantile malnutrition sores. Roast eight fen of Hu Fen, mix with lard, apply; continue until healed, oil is also acceptable. *Zimu Milu*: For infant nocturnal crying. Mix Hu Fen with water to the size of three beans, administer three times daily. Another prescription: Infantile abdominal distension. Roast Hu Fen with salt until color changes, rub onto abdomen; also treats bluish discoloration of abdominal skin. If untreated, death ensues shortly. Another prescription: For infantile innocent dysentery (red and white stool) complicated by malnutrition. Steam Hu Fen thoroughly, roast until color changes, administer with drink. Another prescription: For postauricular eczema (moon-eating sore) in infants, mix Hu Fen with earth and apply. *Danfang Jingyuan* states: Hu Fen can neutralize sulfur and may also be used externally.
*Yanyi* states: Fenxi is Hu Fen, also named Dingfen. Stops diarrhea/dysentery, resolves accumulations, and treats chronic dysentery.
