黄牛犊一只,选用阴阳属性不明者(指性别未定或中性),要求肥嫩且通体纯黄色,提前准备好后续的药料。到了腊月初八日或本月的戊己日,宰杀取血,保留皮毛,将肉切碎,脏腑按部位处理不留遗漏,用长流水在大锅中煮至半熟,加入以下药物。(用鹿肉代替更佳。)

Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) serves as the Jun (Monarch) herb in years of Yi-Geng; Huangshanzhi (Gardeniae Fructus) serves as the Jun herb in years of Ding-Ren; Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex) serves as the Jun herb in years of Bing-Xin; Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) serves as the Jun herb in years of Wu-Gui; Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) serves as the Jun herb in years of Jia-Ji.
Among these five herbs, the one designated as the Jun herb according to the theory of Five Movements and Six Qi (Wu Yun Liu Qi) should be used in double quantity. The remaining four herbs, combined with Xiangfuzi (Cyperi Rhizoma) and Zisu (Perillae Folium) as the Chen (Minister) herbs, should be used in half quantity.
The above seven herbs are all used raw and ground into fine powder. Take three times the amount of Jinwen Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), decoct it in a strong liquid, filter out the dregs, and boil down to a paste. Mix this paste with the powder to form pills the size of chicken eggs. Coat the pills with an equal mixture of Zhusha (Cinnabaris) and Xionghuang (Realgar), and decorate with gold foil. For each dose, take one pill, soak it in spring water for seven bowls, which can serve seven people. In areas affected by epidemic pestilence (Tianxing Wenbing), wealthy families may prepare and distribute this medicine to accumulate boundless merit.
(Received through a dream vision from a person in Yunnan, this method is highly effective for treating Meichuang [Plague Sores].)
Baijiangcan (Bombyx Batryticatus) (lightly stir-fried, 3 qian); Quanxie (Scorpio) (1.5 qian, washed with wine and baked on pottery); Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) (used raw, 5 qian).
Grind the above three herbs into a fine powder. Before the rooster crows, administer three to five spoons mixed with honey water. Supplement with porridge in the afternoon, and continue taking it the next day, until parasites are expelled and sores dry up. Alternatively, the powder can be mixed with honey water to form pills on demand.
(Obtained from a Daoist hermit in Wudang Mountain.)
Jingmi (Oryza Sativa Var. Glutinosa Semen); Huangsumi (Setaria Italica Semen); Huangdou (Sojae Semen Flavum); Chixiaodou (Vigna Angularis Semen); Lv dou (Phaseoli Radiati Semen) (these five are stir-fried until fragrant and cooked, 1 sheng each); Xiacha (Camelliae Sinensis Folium) (1 jin); Zhima (Sesami Semen Nigrum) (cleaned, 5 he); Huajiao (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium) (cleaned, 1 he); Xiaohuixiang (Foeniculi Fructus) (cleaned, 2 he); Gan Bai Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) (soaked, 1 liang); Baiyan (Sal) (stir-fried, 1 liang).
All eleven ingredients above are ground into extremely fine powder and mixed together. Add Maifan (Triticum aestivum Farina) (stir-fried until yellow and cooked, in equal proportion to the previous eleven ingredients, mixed well and stored in a porcelain jar). Walnuts (Hutaoren), southern dates (Nanzao), pine nuts (Songziren), melon seeds (Guaren), white sugar (Baishatang), etc., may be added at will. Take two or three spoons each time, taken with plain boiled water.
(This prescription was taught by a scholar and differs slightly from ancient formulas.)
One young yellow ox calf, preferably of indeterminate gender, fat, tender, and pure yellow in color. Prepare the medicinal materials in advance. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month or on a Wu-Ji day of that month, slaughter the animal, collect blood, retain skin and hair, chop the meat finely, process internal organs without omission. Boil in a large pot with running water until half-cooked, then add the following herbs. (Using deer meat is even better.)
Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) (approx. 2 liang per 10 jin of beef); Fuling (Poria) (peeled, approx. 3 liang per 10 jin of beef); Mian Huangqi (Astragali Radix) (scraped clean, approx. 5 liang per 10 jin of beef); Liangjiang (Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma) (remove stems); Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex) (remove rough bark, approx. 5 qian per 10 jin of beef); Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (retain white pith, approx. 1.5 liang per 10 jin of beef); Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (peeled, approx. 1 liang per 10 jin of beef); Huajiao (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium) (remove seeds, approx. 1 liang per 10 jin of beef); Baiyan (Sal) (use appropriately when straining); Chunjiu (Mellow Wine) (approx. 2 dou).
Simmer the above herbs together with the beef using alternating mild and strong heat, adding hot water as needed, stopping when about 80% of the liquid remains. Mash the beef until it resembles mud, extract marrow from bones, and melt it into the broth. Strain out the dregs, retaining only the thick liquid, similar in consistency to thin syrup. Allow to cool, then mix into a jar of honey. Dig a pit in yellow earth, bury the jar up to its rim, and seal tightly. Add a few spoons of this mixture to any breakfast diet. After physical exertion or sexual activity, take it mixed with mellow wine. It is particularly beneficial to add this when new wine is brewed. (I have seen Master Feixia first refine the honey, wait for the paste to form, mix in honey evenly, and then store it in the jar.)
