陶弘景说：方书中记载，家庭使用的饴糖，称为胶饴，都是像浓蜜一样湿润粘稠的糖，建中汤中多用这种。那些怀疑是强行制作的以及牵拉成白色的，不入药。现在酒曲、制糖用的原料，虽然同样是米麦，但分为中品和上品之别。糖应当以温和滋润为优，酒应当以令人醉乱为劣。
孟诜说：饴就是软糖，北方人称之为饧。粳米、粟米、大麻、白术、黄精、枳（音止）、枳椇子（音矩）等都可以用来制作，只有用糯米制作的才入药。孟诜还说：饧糖能补虚，止渴，健脾胃。如果用蔓荆汁煮饧糖，一次性服用，可以治疗……（原文此处似有脱漏或语意未尽，依文意译为：若用蔓荆汁煮服）。日华子说：饴糖能益气力，消痰止咳，并滋润五脏。
食疗部分记载：主治吐血，健脾。凝固坚硬的为好。主治跌打损伤导致的瘀血，将其熬至焦黑，与酒同服，能排出恶血。另外，对于伤寒引起的大毒咳嗽，在蔓荆汁、薤白汁中煮一沸，一次性服用。《外台秘要》记载：误吞钱币。取饴糖一斤，慢慢全部吃下，如果钱币卡在喉咙中，各种方法都不能取出，将饴糖做成如鸡蛋黄大小的丸剂吞下。如果不出，就做成大丸剂使用。
《衍义》说：饴糖，就是饧，多吃会动脾风，现在的医生用它来调和药物。用糯稻米和粟米制作的为佳，其他的不堪使用，蜀黍米也可以制造。不想吃饭的人少吃一点，也能使脾胃之气调和。唐代白居易的诗中“一盘牙饧”指的就是这个。
味甘，性平，无毒。主治恶疮，被虫、蚕、蜘蛛等咬伤。捣碎后与油混合敷患处，也可以煮食。也可以作为洗浴汤剂，去除疥癣和风瘙。烧成灰，含在口中或塞入齿孔中，能杀灭牙齿上的甘疮（一种牙龈疾病）。取灰淋汁三到四次，能腐蚀息肉，去除白癜风和黑痣面部斑点，附着在肉上形成疮疡。子炊（疑为某种植物名，原文作“子炊”，可能指某种植物的种子或果实）做米饭，香滑，能杀灭三虫（蛔虫、蛲虫、绦虫等）。生地和熟地的叶心有白粉，类似藜草。而藜草的心是红色的，茎粗大可以做拐杖，也能杀虫，人食用作为药材，不如白（疑为白蔹或类似药材，原文缺字，暂译“白色之物”）好。〔（新补）见陈藏器〕
雷公说：金锁天，当时称为灰（疑为某种别名），是金锁天的叶子，扑在藤蔓翠绿之上，往往有金星，可以使用。如果是白青色，是忌女茎（一种植物名），不使用。如果使用金锁天叶子，茎的高度二尺五寸最好。如果太长或太短，不适合使用。凡是使用，不要让布擦拭掉上面的肉毛使其完全干净，细切，焙干后使用。
Sweet in taste, slightly warm in nature. It primarily tonifies deficiency and fatigue, relieves thirst, and dispels blood stasis.
Tao Hongjing stated: In medical formulas, the maltose used in households is called "Jiao Yi" (Glutinous Maltose), which is moist and viscous like thick honey. It is frequently used in Jianzhong Tang (Middle-Jian Decoction). Those suspected of being artificially hardened or pulled into white strands are not used in medicine. Currently, although the raw materials for wine yeast and sugar production are both rice and wheat, they are categorized into medium and superior grades. Sugar should be judged by its mild and moisturizing quality as superior; wine that causes intoxication and confusion is considered inferior.
Meng Shen stated: Yi refers to soft candy, known as "Xing" in the north. Glutinous rice, millet, hemp, Atractylodis Rhizoma (Baizhu), Polygonati Rhizoma (Huangjing), Aurantii Fructus (Zhi), and Pseudolaricis Semen (Zhiju) can all be used to make it, but only those made from glutinous rice are suitable for medicinal use. Meng Shen also said: Xing sugar tonifies deficiency, relieves thirst, and strengthens the spleen and stomach. If boiled with Vitex fruit juice and taken in one dose, it treats... [text implies specific ailments]. Ri Huazi stated: It boosts qi and strength, resolves phlegm, stops coughing, and moistens the five zang organs.
Dietary Therapy records: It treats hematemesis (vomiting blood) and strengthens the spleen. Solidified and hard varieties are preferred. For trauma-induced blood stasis, it is roasted until charred and taken with wine to expel foul blood. Additionally, for severe toxic coughs caused by Shanghan (Cold Damage), boiling it once in Vitex fruit juice and Scallion White juice, then taking it in one dose, is effective. *Wai Tai Mi Yao* records: For accidentally swallowed coins. Take one jin of maltose and consume it slowly. If the coin is stuck in the throat and cannot be removed by other methods, form the maltose into pills the size of a chicken yolk and swallow them. If it does not pass, make larger pills.
*Yan Yi* states: Maltose is indeed "Xing". Excessive consumption agitates Spleen wind. Current physicians use it to harmonize medicines. Those made from glutinous rice and millet are best; others are unsuitable. Shu sorghum can also be used. People with poor appetite should eat a little, which helps harmonize Spleen and Stomach Qi. The "pan of tooth-picking candy" mentioned in the poem by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty refers to this.
Sweet in taste, neutral in nature, non-toxic. It treats malignant sores and bites from insects, silkworms, spiders, etc. Crushed and mixed with oil, it is applied externally; it can also be cooked and eaten. It can also be used as a bath decoction to treat scabies, tinea, and wind-itch. Burned into ash, held in the mouth or inserted into tooth sockets, it kills dental Gan Chuang (gum ulcers). Extracting the juice by leaching the ash three to four times can cauterize polyps, remove vitiligo and black facial spots, and treat flesh ulcers. [Text fragment regarding "Zi Chui"] makes fragrant and smooth rice, killing the "Three Parasites". Fresh and dried Rehmannia leaves have white powder in the heart, resembling Chenopodium (Li). However, Chenopodium has a red heart and thick stems usable as walking sticks; it also kills parasites. When used medicinally by humans, it is inferior to [White Herb/Root] (text incomplete).

Lei Gong stated: Jin Suo Tian, commonly referred to as Hui, is the leaf of Jin Suo Tian. It grows on lush vines and often contains "golden stars," making it usable. If it is white-green, it is Ji Nu Jing (a different plant), which is not used. If using Jin Suo Tian leaves, stems two chi and five cun high are ideal. Stems that are too long or too short are not suitable for use. When processing, do not wipe off the fleshy hairs completely with cloth. Finely chop, dry by roasting, and use.
