This book offers, together with the original Chinese texb the first complete philological and annotated English translation of chapters5。through IIr of the 5z7z 22 gz7zg zz 本 草 網 日, the If6th_ century Chinese Encyclopedia of 7Zz/eyzz ezZzcz and Natural History by Li Shizhen 李時珍 (TSIS8 一 I593), devoted to fires, Waters, soils, metals and minerals. Jt opens up an almost two-millennia-long panorama
of wide-ranging observations and sophisticated interpretations, ingenious manipulations and practical applications of natural substances for the benefitt of human health. As Prof ZhengJJnsheng 郊 金生 , the pre-eminent ez co2 gz7zg 7zz expert of present day China, has characterized it:
Some of the pharmaceutical substances gathered in this book have already left the platform of their chinical application. Howevep the data associated with
them offer abundant material to study the customs of the people and the cuLture of the past. While he gathered data related to pharmaceutical substances, Li Shizhen never hesitated to extend his investigpations and collection to 4 possible realms.

needling 365 holes spread over the human body on the one hand, and afrst detalled description of 365 individual pharmaceutical substances on the othep marked the onset of two traditions of health care. Ihey conceptually remained separate for
one thousand years. Why the number of days in asolar yeap 365 一 rather unusual in the history of Chinese categorization of natural phenomena 一 was chosen as a starting point of both traditions is unclear. Needling therapy or so-called acupuncture, remained an isolated facet of Chinese medical culture until the Ith/I2th century Its seminal texts, the_ Yellow IJhearch classics,% were ceither lost during the frst millennium or survived only through a rather tenuous tradition, supported by afew members of the social clite.: Apparently the Yinyang and Five Phases doctrines of systematic correspondences,Which legitimated and guided needle therapy from its bepinning, failed to achieve the status of a world view widely acknowledged by broad segments of the population. In contrast, pharmaceutical therapy as evidenced by published recipe collections and Works focusing on the description of individual substances, constituted the mainstay of medical practice from the first millennium to the present day Since the early I97os, recipe manuscripts with data on the therapeutic properties of combinations of herbal, mineral and animal substances have been recovered
from late Zhou and early Han 了 era tombs.+ he list of therapeutic indications and ahighly developed pharmaceuticql technology outlined in these texts evidence a long development of pharmaceutical therapy prior to the compilation of works with descriptions of the properties of individual substances. Ihe earliest of these Works known is the 2e7 27zo 2z7z 22 神 農本 草 , “Shen nong'S 72/e7z2 7ze2Z7c2.
Historians agree that it was written at some time between the Ist century BCL and the Ist century Even though at that titme Chinese civilization recognized and documented in biblographies and catalogues individual authorship of literary works, the authors of the seminal texts of both the needling and the pharmaceutical traditions remained anonymous. Iheir oripins were traced to legendary culture heroes, that is, Huang Di 黃帝 , the Yellow Thearch,and Shen Nong 神 2

Nongy also known as Yan Di 炎帝 , the Fiery Thearch, was said in the 號 zz7 7z27z 27 淮南 子 to have pitied the suffering of mankind. Hence he tasted all kinds of herbs and discovered roo with poison per day From the very beginning, for a natural substance“to have poison”(yoz 2 有
毒 ) or “to be nonpoisonous”(voz Zz 無 毒)
Was seen as an important criterion for assessing 1ts acute or long-term therapeutic
potential The 52e7z Zzo7ze 2e7z cgzo, closely associated with_ the tripartite world view of Dong Zhongshu 董 仲 舒 (ry79 一 io4) and apolitical structure antagonistic to the hierarchy of the young empire, distinguished among three “ranks”(27z 品 ) of pharmaceutical substances. Ihe upper rank, associated with heaven, included substances identifiled as 7z7/ 妖 , “rulers. These were considered nonpoisonous and capable of helping extend life. Alower rank, associated With the earth, was assigned to substances “With poison.”These were given the status of zz2 佐 and 527 使 ,that is,“helpers"and “messengers,”and they helped eliminate the disease. A middle rank of ce# 選 , “ofcials, associated With mankind, was positioned between the upper and lower ranks. Sorme of these_ofhcials were considered nonpoisonous, while others were known
to“have poison.”Ihey acted as intermediaries between the rulers above and their helpers and messengers below. Ihe substances described, arranged according to a preface into groups of I2o,I2o and I25 respectively? were mostly herbal. Ihis may be the reason behind the naming of the first zze7zz 7zezZzcz Work and henceforth the entire literature genre 2ez co 本 草 ,which possibly meant “based on herbs.” Tao Hongjing 陶 弘 景 (452-536), a Daoist naturalist, was the first author to revise and expand the_original classic, 27z 有 7 本 經 ,as he called the AS7e 727z衝 2ezz cgzo. In a first work, titled S2e7 zoo 2ez czo 7z7zg 伸展

characterized by an expansion of the_original classic_ with ever more data on the nature, origin, therapeutic effects and pharmaceutical processing of natural and
man-made substances. Ihis data was often adopted from an increasing number 0f 77z2z/e772z 77zezZ7cz Works published outside of the main tradition whose authors did not feel committed to the structure and contents of the 257 7zg. Ihey focused on repglional knowledge, their own experience, substances used as both medication and food, substances enabling survival in times of famine, pharmaceutical processing and other such special aspects of pharmaceutical lore. In the middle of the seventh century an official named SuJing 人 蘇敬 (fi. 657) suggested that the emperor supportanew cditlon of the “original classic to correct older data reparded since as erroneous, and include more recent knowledge of the therapeutic potential of natural substances.The result, the 及 zz xzz 2ez cd2 新 修本 草 “Newly revised materia medica, of 659, combining 85o substance entries in 54 chapters,

TJhe main tradition was unable to integrate the ideas published by the various authors of theso-called Song本 nm-Yuan epoch of 2e7z cdzoliterature.As aresult, the publication of comprehensive zz/e7z2z 7zezZzcz texts ended. 匕ach of these works claimed to offer 和 available pharmaceutical knowledge,old and new.

unwieldy nature of the final texts of the main tradition of 2ez cdzo literature. By restructuring the individual substance monographs, he removed the decisive obstacle to practical use of the 2ez cd texts. He dismissed the idea that newer 2e7 cZo Works were mere emendations of the_“original classic,” With whatever new knowledge had become available being added to the substance of earlier works. Qiu Jun divided each monograph in accordance with I3 characteristics of individual substances that he extracted from former texts.7 As aresult, areader interested in the origin, the pharmaceutical processing or

the main tradition omitted the “uppep middle, and lower rank divisions, but
retained the mineral, herbal, and animal-human classifications.
Li Shizhen introduced a different order. Based on the seqduence of the Five Phases, he began, after four introductory chapters, the subsequent 48 chapters With alist of waters. Jhis was followed by fires, soils, metals (including salts and
minerals; chapters 5 through II) and herbal substances (chapters I2 了hrough 37). Separated by chapter 38,listing fabrics and utensils, he then devoted chapters 39 through 5o to animals,ranpging from tiny to larpge, 也 at1s, from insects through fowl to four-legged creatures. Again separated by a chapter on “strange items, he eventually reached the pinnacle of his scale, human substances suitable fora medicinal application.Jn all Li Shizhen wrote down ca.I.9 million characters to describe I892 pharmaceutical substances. Jhe entries in the final 48 chapters were divided into r6 sections,forI3 of which
Li Shizhen identifled subsections. Jhese serve to point out related items within broader groups such as waters, herbs and worms/bugs. For example, the sectlon on worms/bugs is subdivided into those born from eggs, 也 ose generated through transformation, and those oripinating ffom moisture. 弓ach section is introduced by ageneral statement explicating the special nature of the substances grouped in it. 選 ach individual substance is piven a heading stating its earliest name documented in pharmaceutical literature and, if this was the original classic,'the
uppep middle or lower rank it had been assigned to. Where required, Li Shizhen began an entry bypointing out a formerly erroneous listing of the substance in question. Whenever he found identical substances listed in previous 2z7z czo works twice under different names,he justifled the combination of these names in one entry. Jhe length of documented Chinese pharmaceutical history the sheer size of thecountry With its many regional cultures and languages,and the different types of sources quoted by Li Shizhenled him to list and discuss the names of the substances he described. Notinfrequently Li Shizhen sawaneed to explain different names in the North and South of China assigpned to an identical substance. For example,in chapter oo,he went into an extensive discussion to end an apparently millennia-old confusion concerning the substance gypsum. It was known as 527 gz2 石膏 ,“stone fat7 7 五 527 細 理 ,石 “finely structured stone/mineral,”and 2zz7 2z7 y27 寄 水 ,“cold 石 water stone/mineralL”Some authors identifiled it as /zzg 7ze 527 方 解 石, “stone/mineral that splits into rectangular pieces,”and as c2zzzg 527 長 ,“lengthy 石 stone/mineral.”But these names had also been applied to other

minerals. Li Shizhen brought all relevant quotes together and eventually offered his conclusion29 Li Shizhen titled the relevant subheading 27 zzzg 釋 ,名 “Explanation of Names,' because he went beyond simply enumerating alternative names. Wherever possible he added philological explanations taking into account, for example, local dialects and the composition of characters. Substances imported from forceign countries often were given names in China transcribing the pronunciation of their original foreign pronunciation. Wherever feasible, Li Shizhen included information on the origin of such names, for example, reflecting a Sanskrit term.
Furthermore, many names were written With characters possibly unfamiliar to the 27 cz2 oz 7zzs readers. Hence Li Shizhen explained their pronunciation by either adducing homophones or resorting to the split-reading approach. And when he_felt at his wits end, he_ freely acknowledged his inability to explain a certaln narme.
Wihile_ this explanation of names suggests an awareness of certain limits 9f understanding among future readers and users of the 5ez cz2 oz7zo zz Li Shizhen rarely explained a central feature of each substance described: its therapeutlic indications. Ihe quotes on the ability of substances to“control' disease are taken from sources spanning more than Ioo years. IJhe 57 22 oz7zg 72z lists more than 45oo key disease terms;by thetimeofLi Shizhen,perhaps mostof them were stil self-explanatory or could be understood by experts from their context. In todays China, many of the disease names referred to in these quotes are no longer easily understood. Similarly for readers of the 2ez cz2 goz7zg 2 outside hina, the therapeutic indications are often given with rather enigpmatlc disease names writteninsingle,unfamiliar characters or using metaphors that are no lonper casily prasped. he first volume of the 77c/z27zz7)2 07 22 57 cdZ2 ez7zg 7 traces each of the 45oo disease terms to its earliest appearance. Tt identifles its meaning in fhat early context and, where applicable,at the time of Li Shizhen.5
Another central feature of descriptions of pharmaceutical substances is their place of origin. From early on it was known among Chinese experts that one and the same herb was endowed with different therapeutic powers depending on where it grewin the country Ihe cliimate and the nature of the soil varied from North to South and from 弓ast to West, and so did the“_qi aplant was exposed to.

vided aranking of the substances from different regions in accordance with the presumed strength of their therapeutic effects. All the dynasties that followed each other during the imperial age regularly rearranged administrative structures. As a consequence, place names and the names of administrative structures were
assigpned new names. Hardly any location kept one and the same name throughout history Li Shizhen regularly explained the locationin his time of places mentionedin anancient quote underaname no longerin use. Today the current loca~ tion of even more places can no longer be easily identifled by their ancient names. Jhe second volume of the 7zc/z27zz7) 27 2 2527 cd2 oz7zg zz traces each of the place names and those of administrative structures mentioned in the 25e7z cg2 gz72 zz to 了their current location. More importantly, fmhe 27zc/z27zzyy ofers the history of each name and each administrative structure so thata quote from a speciflc timeperiod may be compared to the existence ofaname and administrative structure at that time. Ihis is of particular relevance if one identical name was given to different locations in the course of history or if the borders of an administrative structure were moved to adegree that may have had asigniflcant impact on the climate or nature of soil suggested by its name.r No 放 Z/e772 27ze2Z7cz text prior to the ez7 22 oz7zo zz was based on acomparable range of lterary and non-literary material. Jt should come as no surprise that Li Shizhen exploited the Z2ezg 2 2ez cz2 正和 本 草ofI249,the finalwork ofthe former main tradition of 2ezz czo Works, as his major source. Apparently Li Shizhen intended to continue this tradition,but he wentfar beyondit.Inabibliography at thevery beginning of the 57z cdz2 oz7z 2, he listed more than 868 titles he had consulted. Ihe number of titles quoted or mentioned in passing in the main text by far exceeds these 868 texts. Li Shizhen may not have held all of them in original editions in his hands. Many texts were quoted second- or third-hand from quotes in later encyclopedias.

In this manner the 257z do oz7z2 2 refers to hundreds of texts and their authors,
in addition to individuals (including Li Shizhens own extended family) unassociated with any literary genre. IMany of the persons quoted or referred to as authors,patlents,healers or actors

in the 2z7z 2z2 oz7zo 22z. But an identiflcation of numerous titles and many more persons requires extensive research.Jtis here that one wonders how many collaborators Li Shizhen may have had. Wang Shizhen, the author of a preface to the first edition of the 25z7z cdz2 oz7zo zz quotes Li Shizhen verbatim with a statement
that he had rewritten the entire manuscript three times.5 A question arises here whether he had failed to notice numerous inconsistencies in the references to book titles and authors quoted. Not infrequently one book is quoted with either its complete title or several different abbreviations. Similarly, one identical author is quoted by his full name, by his first or ]ast name, by his style, or other poss1ble designations. Such diversity appears plausible if one imagines a larger team around Li Shizhen supplying him with data without prior agreement on how to quote atext or refer to a person. If mis diversity makes it difflcult enough for readers to immediately identify a text or author quoted, the hardship is further apgravated by numerous quotes misleadingly ascribed to source texts they were never part 0f.

He eventually switched to the Song-jJin-Yuan understanding of health and pharmaceutical therapy by first quoting a passage from the zz7zo 7 7/c7 777zo 72 zoez 黃帝 內 經 素 concerning 問 the influence of climatic factors on drugs. This is followed by a section on “ITIhe seven ways of compiling arecipe,”Wwith commen~ taries by the legendary Qi Bo 玻 伯 , the 8th century commentator of the Sz oz Wang Bing 王 冰 , and various Song-Jin-Yuan authors. Next is asection on “The effects of the ten kinds of recipes,”with commentaries by Xu Zhicai 徐 之 才 (ca.
5IO 一 59o) several Song-Jn-Yuan authors again and Li Shizhen himself. Ihe first
chapter ends with ten treatises on the medicalL-theoretical teachings of the SongJin-Yuan period. hapter 2 begins with an enumeration of pharmaceutical substances known by up to five alternative names. Tt continues with an enumeration of pharmaceutical substances according to their reciprocal, synergistic effects when ingested togeth~erp an enumeration of foods whose consumption is forbidden during an ingestion of specifilc pharmaceutical substances, an enumeration of substances fbhat must
not be taken by pregnant women, and an enumeration of beverages and foods that must not be consumed together. Also in chapter 2, Li Shizhen quoted from Li Gao 李 呆 (fr8o 一 I25D,one ofthe main authors and theoreticians of the Song-
Jln-Yuan era, whose treatise acknowledged that the treatment of certain inesses escaped theorization. Hence he simply listed certain pathological signs and the pharmaceutical substances suitable for their treatment 一 without reference to tfhe Yin-Yang and Five Phases doctrines of systematic correspondences. ?imilarly, the next treatisec is an“enumeration of all pharmaceutical substances that, according to Chen Cangdqi 陳疙
器 (8th century), are used in the treatment
of depletions. From another core theoretician of the Song 二 nm-Yuan era, Zhang Zihe 張 子和 (rs6-I228),Li Shizhen took over the treatise““Ihe three processes of sweating,vomiting and purging.”Chapter2 ends with a section from a yz2 Zz7z 榮 對 ,awork allegedly predating the “original classic”and the tables of contents of the 5ez.777zg and the 7z7zg 527 2e7zg 7 227 方 22z cdz2 經 史 證 類 備 急本 草 by Tang Shenwei 唐

may have_felt it suitable to pay ip service to a development that had lost its creative momentum prior to his ifetime. By the end of the Song-n-Yuan era, several authors had suggested combinations of empirical pharmaceutical know edge with the Yinyang doctrines of systematic correspondences without reaching an agreement on one pharmacology accepted by all. IToo many contradictions remained between the assessmentofthe properties in terms of yin and yang qualities on the one hand and their assumed and observed effects on the human body on the other. Eventually, this development found no further creative naturalists. By thetimeofLi Shizhen carrying through to the very presentastatus quo had emerged within which any author interested in atheoretical foundation of pharmaceutical treatment was free to pick from any of the Song-JIn-Yuan authors, whomever he felt or feels appropriate. Li Shizhens attitude toward atheoretical legitimation of pharmaceutical therapies may be called fragmented. Only in very few instances did he feel compellied to refer to the preference of a speciflc substance to enter one or more of the yin and yang conduits. Li Shizhen did not neglect magic argumentation,and he seerms to have had aspecial inclination toward the number seven. ITt dominates suggestions for the length of periods and number of frequencies of ingestlons as Wel as quantities in which pharmaceutical substances are to be taken.Categorizations of items according to their yin or yang status,or their afhliation with one of theFive Phases, are rarely seen in the 27 cd gpz7zg 2722. 0ccasionally Li Shizhen resorts to aconcept of cozg 27 /7 從 其 類, “group correspondence”to explain correspondences between items and their properties that appear to exist outside the realm of Yinyang and Five Phases correspondences. For example,in chapter 4r entry I6,_cicadas, he writes:
Grenerally speaking, to_cure [diseases affecting」 the long-term depots and short-term repositories, the bodies of cicadas are to be used. lo cure dermal
sores and ulcers, wind and heat, the nymph shells of cicadas are to be used. This is always based on their group correspondences.
?imilarly, in chapter 43, cntry I9-o2, breflcaude pit viper: When poisonous items are used to attack poison diseases, then this is always based on their group correspondences.
Perhaps Li Shizhens reluctance to support his therapeutic advice with theoretica reasoning may be traced back to aperception of himself as primarily being aprac~ titloner not interested in burdening other practitiloners with arequest to indulge in the complicated doctrines of systematic correspondences as a precondition of

pharmaceutical therapy. 攻 we are right to assume thata central motivatlon underlying Li Shizhens compilation of the 5ez cdz2 goz7g zz was to offer a handy work toawide public of healers, we then also grasp two more of his encyclopedias great lnnovatlons.
Li Shizhens 有 z7z cdz2 oz7zo 22z 1s the_ first truly inclusive encyclopedia of natural history and pharmacotherapy in China. Nothing comparable existed in the medicalliterature elsewhere. 5ez cdzoliterature had hitherto been dedicated to the description ofindividual substances.Li Shizhen integrated medical case histories. These are meant to 過 ustrate, more vividly than would have been possible with theoretical statements, the therapeutic potential of certain substances. Medical
case histories have been published in China ever since Sima Qian included examples of treatments performed by Chunyu Yi 淳 於 意 (2oo ~-Iso BCE) in the
biography of this physician in his 527 二 史記 of 9o BCE. Beginning with the Yuan dynasty an increasing number of physicians chose to publish characteristic (and successful) examples of their treatments to propagate their own understand-
ing of medicine and health care.* Li Shizhen included case histories from his own medical practlice and others quoted from _earlier collections. In this way, he certainly prevented any suspicion of promoting only his personalinterpretation 9f generally accepted theoretical premises. A common feature of his case histories is the emphasis on fexibility. Ihat is, thefexibility required to sometimes abandon seemingly irrefutable principles and adapt a substances application to the specifc challenge confronting the healer. An example is his own treatment, recorded in chapter 35,of an old woman over 6o years old' who had suffered from viscous outflow, i. e., some form of diarrhea,
for an extended period of ttme. No established therapy had been able to end her suffering. Li Shizhen followed arecommendation by the Tang physician Wang Bing 王 冰 who had traced viscous outflow to an excessive accumulation of cold. He resorted to croton seeds, known in China as 2z Zoz 巴豆 , to counteract the
cold responsible for that partlicular patlients ness. Since antiquity 了 ough, 2z Zoz had been described in Chinese 2e7z cdzo literature not only as an extremely hot substance but also as one of the most violent purgatives. Li Shizhen had also read the Yuan era author Wang Haogu 王 好 古 , who had pointed out, for the first time, that given an appropriate pharmaceutical processing croton seeds can also be applied to stop diarrhea. Hence Li Shizhen counted on the extreme heatof croton seeds to attack theaccumulated cold in the old woman. He treated her with pills prepared with croton seeds and coated with I6_

beeswax, and achieved a cure.7 Li Shizhen not only offered examples of his own reading of a patients speciflc needs but also provided details of cearlier physicians creative approaches to difficult therapeutic situations. Ihe implicit message underlying most such case histories was to promote Hexibility rather than stubborn adherence to superfilcial principles. Hence he praised previous healers for their ingeniously individualized therapies. Li Shizhen was also the_ first authorin the tradition of comprehensive works to cormbine the genres of 2e7z/ czo and recipe lterature. With very few exceptions, he added to every substance alist of recipes with theinformation he may have considered essential for its application in actual clinical practice. One or more therapeuticindications,mostly down-to-earth without theoretical embellishment or legitimation, are followed by therecipes ingredients with brief data on their raw or processed states. Ihe recipes further include concise data on their prepa~ ration, on the external or internal mode of their application and on the number
and required time span of their applicatlions. A source is given for each recipe. For each lst of recipes added to the entry of aspecific substance, Li Shizhen also specifiles how many of them were recorded in previous recipe collectlions and how many he recorded for the first time. Theperhapsmostnotable innovationintroducedbyLiShizhen wasatransition from earlier ez czo works that had merely propagated alleged facts as statements to an cncyclopedia based on argumentation. Li Shizhen was the first to collect in a 2Z/e77Z2 7zeZzcz Work the statements of earlier authors and systematically discuss them in search of what he considered as facts and truth. 弓 arlier writers had contradicted views they failed to agree with. ButLi Shizhen made this approach his basic principle. Also, simply contradicting cearlier views and statements is not identical with Li Shizhens approach of presenting several points of view. He discussed their origins and shortcomings, and eventually decided who is right and Who is wrongy, or presented his own dissenting perception. Ihis is a ubiquitous principle followed throughout the 5e7z cdz2 gz7 2 It is not the least because 9 this feature of the 57 cz2 oz7zo zz that Li Shizhen deserves amost prominent place in the history of Chinese natural science

Over time, based on experience and knowledge learned from his father and his own literate knowledge and dedication to understand the principles underlying natural processes, Li Shizhen became widely known as a cormpetent practitiloner. He was invited to noble and other high ranking families and his successful cures in I543 eventually led to an invitation by the King of Chu 楚 ,Zhu Xianrong 朱 顯 榕,rso6 一 15545,aregional prince, to manage his palace medical office. Details of the following years are unclear. We know that Li Shizhen was offered a position in the lmperial Medical Offhce but returned to his hometown after only ayear. Ihe date of this journey to Beijing and the reasons why he left so soon are not known. From the contents of the ez7z cg2 oz7zg 2

vious that he returned from the North having accumulated much new knowledge. In Beijing he also encountered practices he considered highly objectionable. Among the elite,apractice was widespread to cure human 名 s with human substances,”)7z7e7/ 2z 7ez

Ihis liquid was termed zz Z2 7 蜂 桃 酒, “fat peach wine,”allegedly an elixir granting immortality. Li Shizhen recorded this practlice in chapter 52, entry IT,on human mik, clearly condemning it as deceitful rhetoric to make a profit, aimed at those who are ignorant. It is voiced by fraudulent persons, and punished by royal law. Ihe gentleman is to denounceit. In Beijing he also learned of the use ofopium as an aphrodisiac and considered this as a therapy not to be applied by a proper healer.

2., Notes on the Translation This translation of chapters 5 一 II of the ez Co gz7zg 7zz is based onamost re-
markable critical edition ofthe text prepared and published by ZhengJlJnsheng 郊 金生and Zhang Zhibin 張 志 斌 . ZhengJlnsheng and Zhang Zhibin have traced all quotes to their original source text. Wherever the first I593 馬 nling print of the 7z7z cg oz7zp zz differed from the original texts because of intentional abbreviations, they have addedanote with the original wording. Divergences interpreted as unintended errors,such as omissions or mistakenly written single characters, as Well as erroneous ascriptions of quotes to original texts and authors,Wwere correctedinthemain text with anote added to explain such modiflcations. Ihe complete text of chapters 5 一 II presented here together with its translation includes these correctlons. Readers interested in all the details, both of the errors corrected and
the original wordings that were abbreviated or otherwise modifled by Li Shizhen and his collaborators, are advised to_ consult the text critical edition by /heng Jinsheng and Zhang Zhibin.“。 Tam most grateful to both of them for supplying me with a pre-publication version of their work.Twish to especially express my thanks to Prof./hengJinsheng for helping me to understand passages and single characters my own research had been unable to clarify Almost all philological notes accompanying my translation are based on the text editilon prepared by 乙hangJtnsheng and Zhang Zhibin.Thave also greatly beneftted from consulting the Japanese translation of the 57z cz2 oz7ze 22z Dublished in I965.7 In particular secondary quotes within primary quotes have been marked based on the Japanese cdition. In 2oo3, Foreign Language Press in Beijing published a frst complete 紀 nglish version of the 5z7z zz2 oz7ze 2z. Ihe approach chosen differed signiflcantly from the one adopted here.

identify as many diseases, allments and signs of illness as possible encountered in the 527 cd2 oz7zo 72z in terms of modern Western medical concepts.? The 2e7z 2zo oz7ze 7zz is an encyclopedia compiled in the ir6th century based on literary and non-literary data of the preceding I8oo years. It quotes authors of varying expertise and offers todays readers an incormparable view of almost two millennia of the development of pharmaceutical science and related realms of knowledge and more general aspects of culture. Ihe translation of chapters 5 through ir of the Chinese text honors the authors of bygone days not by telling them what they should have said ff they had had the knowledge of the 2oth and 2ISt century but rather by luminating as clearly as possible their toughts and their wisdom as formed by the conceptualb social, cconomic and natural environ-
mentof their time. Ihe translation offered here has resisted atemptation to make ancient views appear modern and agreeable with todays biomedical reality. Such an approach,notinfrequently met in recent renderings of ancient Chinese medical texts in Western languages,is not only asign of disrespect for the intellectual integrity of ancient experts. It is also an obstacle blocking arecognition and appreciation of the never ending historical process of understanding nature and the managerment of human ife as part of nature in China, since antiquity HenceThave pursued here the same approach that has guided my translations of the ancient Chinese medical classics 7了 zz7zg 77 7z27.77720 72 2027z, 號/27zo 7 7ze7 有 Zoe 7 2 and AWz7z.7z7zg. Authors from previous centuries and millenia relied on metaphors and allegories to elucidate their understandings of human physiology and pathology Modern pathology and physiology are no different. Such fields of science need to draw on metaphors and allegories to illustrate their aindings.3 Disease names are a case in point. Ihe 8ez 2z2 ozzg 2 includes quotes with about 45oo core terms to specify all types of pathological conditions. Prior to the translation presented here, Prof. Zhang Zhibin and Ttraced them to their first appearance. VoLTof the 77zcZ272z72 27 2 有 zz cd2 oz7zo 2 sts all of them with an explanation of their original meaning. Ihe translation of chapters 5 through IT provides, where appropriate, the lteral meaning of disease terms. Occasionally ancient single characters keep their meaning secret; in such cases, they are given in pinyin transcription. Notes are added to all occurrences of historical disease terms that are not self-explanatory and readers are led to the relevant pages of VoLTof the 7zc/z27z27涼 22。

The heading of each entry repeats the numbers assigned toitin the table of contents, followed by the name,in Chinese characters and pinyin, of the sub-
stance discussed and the title of the earliest work on 7zz/e772 7zeZzcz identlfled as its FE, i. e., “first evidence. The translation of the names offers 上 nglish colloquial
names wherever available, a literal translation where meaningfulb and scientific identiflcations where possible. Place names, designatlons of administrative structures, names of persons and book titles appear in the translation without additional notes. Readers interested in further details should consult volumes land lllof the 77zc/z27zz7y 27 2 5e7z 22 2z7zp zzo which respectively provide information on the geographic and administrative designations and on the persons and literary sources mentioned. A challenging feature of translating an ancient text on 轎 Z/7zz 7zeZzcz is the identiflcation of natural substances recommended formedicinal use. In chapters5 throughIIofthe 5ez7z cdz2.gzzo 2 this applies to substances named metals,minerals,salts and stones - which are discussed in entries of their own - as Well as to nu-
merous herbal substances mentionedin recipesorin passing elsewhere. 紀 uropean scientists have been eager to identify herbal and mineral substances they have encountered in China since the I7th century From the beginning, this has proved to be adifhrcult endeavor. Diferent names were used for identical substances in different parts of the country; diferent pronunciations of an identical name in the dialects of different regions led to different writings. One and the same substance has been recorded With varying names in the course of history An herb listed in an ceighth century zze772 zzzZzcz text mightnothave been available at a later time and was substituted by another herb sold under the same name. Ihe marketing of fakes as substitutes was sufffhciently widespread at any time for Li Shizhen to caution his readers in the filrst chapter of the 57 cd2 oz7zo 72. In his descriptions ofindividual substances he devoted much space to such issues. Ihe fact is, despite al the many attempts published over the past three centuries, an uncertainty rermains as to the true identity of quite afew of the herbs and minerals recorded in historical Chinese 2z/e7zz 7zeZzcz Works.

Tts matter is soft, but its qi are hard. It is not the same as stagnant water in lakes, marshlands and pools. Still, the_ water in rivers is turbid while the water in
mountain streams is clear. hese,tooare different [types ofwater]. Lookatfishes in
turbid water and flowing water and compare them with fishes from clear water and stapgnant water. heir natures and colors are widely different. Jhe colors of swords tempered by dipping them in [one type of water] and of cotton dyed in [another type of] water differ. When [water is used to] boil a congee or to brew atea, their favors will differ too. Ihat is, when [different types of water] are added to amedi-
cation,how could one fail to distinguish among them。? os5-I4-oI

Explication. [Chen] Canggqi: Both water that has flowed a thousand Zand water
flowing castward are suitable for washing away evil and dirt. When used to boil a medication,theywill banandexorcise spirits and demons. ITurbid waterflowinginto puddles can still be offered as provision to kings and dukes. How much more does this apply to [water] that is quick in its movements and has come along way? The 777 states: Mica mineral fears eastward flowing Waterp but it is used to refine mica. In this, it differs from al other types of watep and this is why it is effective. [Sun] Simiao: Ihe water of rivers flows over a long distance. It complies with [the
sloping terrain] and moves toward the sea. It does not go against [a sloping terrainl] to flow upward. When it is used to cure [a disease affecting] the head, it must lead
[the evil] downward. Hence it serves to cure the flve types of exhaustion and seven
types of harm and diseases associated with emaciation and weakness.When boiling armedication, one resorts to old reed and “exhausted water”to use water that is not
strong and filre that is not vigorous. no water from the Yang zi is available, water that has flowed toward the kast for a fmhousand 有 such as from the rivers 本 ng or We may serve as asubstitute.[Li| Shizhen: “Exhausted water is water scooped up and overturned. Zhang Zhongjing calls it “sweet and worn-out water. [1Io prepare itb]fll two Zoz of flowing water into alarge pot and use aladle to scoop it out and let it drop again a thousand and ten thousand times until eventually only bubbles like pearls follow each other. Ihenit can be used to boilmedication. Jhe fact is, the
basic nature of water is salty, and its body weighs heavily Once it is worn-out [by this processj,it assumes asweet favorand is oflight weight only his way it serves not to assist the qi of the kidneys, but to boost [the qi of]spleen and stomach. Yu Tuan in his 交 xzz >Z2ezzg 02zz7z states: “Sweet and worn-out water is sweet, Warm
and ofsoftnature.Henceitis resorted to to boillmedication foryin conditions such as harm caused by cold. Water flowing complying [with asloping terrain] has a complying nature and flows downward. Hence it is used to prepare medication to cure conditions affecting the Lower Burnep the lower back and the knees, and to
freec the passage of defecation and urination. Fast Howing water and rapidly rising, violent water has arapid and fast nature and aims at reaching downward. Hence it is used to prepare medication to free the passage of the two reliefs (urination and defecation) and for wind blockage.“ Water flowing against[a sloping terrain] and Wwhirling and billowing waterp their nature is to go against and to reversely move upward. 了 ence they are used for medication to stimulate spitting out of phlegm rheum7 States: “Tumans are closely related to the soll and ground where they are born. Hence theqdiof mountains generate more males; the qdi of marshlands generate more females. Ihe qi of waters generated more mute [lpeoplej; the q of wind generate more deaf [people]. Ihe qi of forests generate
more protuberance-iness;?” theqiof trees generate more hunchbacks. Qi descending from river banks generate more swelling; theqdiofrocks generate more strength. People born with theqdiofa dangerous terrain often develop goiter; those affected bythedqdiofsummerheatoften die young,Wwhile those affected by cold qi often enjoy longevity Ihe qi of mountain valleys often cause blockage; the qi of graves often cause madness. Ihe qi of wide, open spaces often generate humankindness; the qi of hills often generated greed. Ihe people living on firm soil are tough; the people lving onweaksoilare fragile. People living on clay are tall; people llving on sand are short. People lving on fertile soil are beautiful; people lving in wastelands are ugly [People living onj light soil are mostly swift in their movements.[Ihose living on heavy soill are mostly slow in their movements. Clear water results in alow voice. Turbid water results in a loud voice. Rapid water gives one alight [bodyj; water flowing slowly gives one aheavy [body]. In all cases such relationships are evident. Also, the 7 讓 Az2 Z7 x7z7ze States: ”Ihe nine >2oz all have different characteristics)
Waters and springs do not equal each other as far as the hard and soft [nature of their waters] is concerned. In Qing zhou the musical tones 7#z 角 and 227 徵 are connected.

In view of these two staterments,one cannot be careful enough to make the right choice given the extent to which the maintenance of human life depends on water and soil. [Li| Shizhen:
According to the 7 及 zz zz, there once was a woman who had suffered from a disease for years. It was said to be a disease caused by an influx of cold and heat. It was in the eleventh month when Hua Iuo let her sit down inastone trough and in themorning asked someone to pour oo [buckets of]cold water over her.[ Jhat
person] began to pour [the cold water over her] but after 7o [buckets the womanl fcelt cold to an extent that she wished to die. Jhe person pouring [the water over her] was shocked and wanted to stop [the treatment] but [Hua]j Iuo did not agree. WhenSo [buckets] had beenpoured over hepsheemitted steaming hotdqipyrising in turmoil two to three feet. After all the roo [buckets] had been poured over herp he puthephotas fire,to bed,warmly covered with athick quilt and let her sleep. After
quite a long time,she emitted cold sweat. He applied apowder to hep and she was cured.” The AWz7z y2z states: “When general Fang Boyu had ingested more than ten doses of the powder With the five minerals,? he suffered from acold illness. Even
during the summer months he wore doubled clothing. 入 u Sibo examined him and said: “Ihis is hidden heat. It must be effused with _water but this can be done only during he winter months . During the eleventh month,atatime when there was much ice and snowy he asked [Fang] Boyu to take of his clothes and sit naked ona
stone. Ihen he took newly drawn cold water and poured it over himy; altogether 2o buckets.[Jhe patient] experienced clenched jaw and his qq [flow] was interrupted.
His family members cried loudly and begged [the physician] to stop [the treatment. 和Xu] Sibo grasped them to push them back and eventually roo buckets had been poured over [the general. Now [Fang] Boyu was able to move,and on his back he
had [asensation of ] vigorous movements of qi. Suddenly he sat up. He said that he felt an unbearable heat and asked for something cold to drink. [Xu] Sibo let him drink one vez7zeofwaterpand then theilliness was cured. From then on,[the genera]
often effused heat. Even during winter months he wore only a thin, unlined outer garment and his body became fat and strong. [Li] Shizhen say: The inesses of these two persons were both conditions of hidden heat, as are referred to in the A2 zoe7/ as“a11 cases of clenched [teethj, chattering [teeth]j,and shivering are associated
with fire.“Ihe method to cure this is to effuse the clustered fire. he two persons were poured over with cold waterin memorningofaday during the winter months because, following the solar term Winter Begins, the yang di are present in the 59

interiop and in he _morning is the time when the yang q abound. By inundating them with cold [qj, the clustering and obstruction of heat qi reaches an extreme,
causing them to break out and be resolved through sweating. his is based on the idea that items will not reverse toward their opposite if they have not reached their extreme,and hence [such atherapy stimulates] the effusionofthe [patients heat q.
This is [based on] the statement in the ASz zoezz: “To oppose [a disease] is anormal treatment6i to conform [to it] is atreatment contrary [to norma]]|. While opposing
it, conform to it While conforming to it, oppose it. Once the passage ways are freed the qi are led back to harmony During the months of spring, the yang qi are released [from the interiorj during summer and autumn, the yin qi are present in the interior. 本 ence such a [treatment] must be performed after the beginning of

cholera and vomiting result.If this decoction of fresh and processed water is drunk, [the situationj] will be stabilized immediately Ihe yin and yang [qi] will be separated and this leads to their balance.[Chen] Cangqi: Whenever an adult has drunk
to intoxication or has consumed too many melons and other fruits, soak his body in fresh and processed hot water. Ihis water wi then assume the flavor of the wine and of the melons.

ollected Explanations.Li Shizhen: Fire is one of the Five Phases. Tt consists of di but does not have substance.ltis situated in the context of creation and transformation, it engenders andit kills the myriad items. 1ts humaneness may be obvious, its usefulness may be hidden. Jts divine and wondrous [effects] are inexhaustible. he
applications of fire reach everywhere.Thave given much thought to the followingAll the Five Phase are singular; only the fire has two [kinds]. Ihese two are the yin fre and the yang filre. Ihey are further divided into three classes, and altogether I2 Sub-classes. Ihe so-called three [classes] are heavens fire, the earths fire, and mans
fre. he so-called I2 [sub-classesj include four fires of heaven, flve filres of the earth
and three fires of man. Ihey may be described as follows. ITwo yang fires of heaven are [first] the major yang/the sun. This is a genuine fire.[Second,] the essence of the stars. his is aflying filre.Whenitshows as areditem that falls down [on the earthj,
acatastrophe w 記 happen. Jhis is commonly called “fire disaster”Ihe two yin fires of heaven are the drapgon fire and the thunderclap filre. Rays of flre are seen in the drapgons mouth; the fire associated With thunderbolts is adivine fire. Ihe three yang fres of the earth include the fire generated by drilling wood, the fire generated by striking stones, and the fire generating by tapping metal. Ihe two yin fires of the earth are「first] fire generated by mineral oil. For details see the entry on petroleum (o9-27) in the section on minerals/stones.[Secondj,fire in the waters. When rivers,
]akes, streams and the sea are moved during thenight,a fire appears. Some say: The spirits of water appear at night and hence there are rays of fire. Ihe one yang filre 9f humans: It is 2zze Zzzzg 內 本 ,theruler fire.It is the fire of the heartand small intes-
tine.It is the fire associated with [the trigram] Z#
離 .The two yin fires of man.They
include [first] the minister fire associated with the Gate of Life.Jtemerges from the
Bei hai; it is the fire associated with[the trigram] zz 坎 . It moves through the Triple Burnep and it settles in the liver and the gall bladder. [Second,] the fire of
Samadhi.It is pure yang;it is the fire associated with_[the trigram] 7zz7 補 .To sum this up. Ihere are six yang fires,and there are also six yin fires. Altogether I2. Herbs struck by yang fres will burn; wood affected [by yang fires] will burn, too. [Yang fres] may be brought down with moisture, and they may extinpguished with water All the yin filres do notburn down herbs and wood,but they make metals and minerals How. When [yin fires] are exposed to moisture, they w 訓 fare up; when they are exposed to watep theywill be ablaze.Tf one attempts to break their strength with watep their rays will Hame to lighten the sky and they will end only once the item [burning] has vanished entirely [Yin fires] are to be pursued with fire,and they are
to be attacked with ashes. Jhis way their burning nature will be used up, and their faming rays will be extinguished. hose in ancient times who understood how to counteract [yin fires in] the body they comprehended heaven above and sought an

understanding of the items below. Ihis way they grasped alarge part of the principles underlyingruler fire and minister filre,regular treatments and treatments in line With [the nature ofadisease].Inadditionmthere is the cold fire of 入 iao qiu.Xiao qiu
is [an islandj in the Nan hai. A natural fire burns on it. Jt emerges in spring and is cxtinguished in autumn. According to the 52z22z > Nei pian,a certain tree grew there that was small and scorched blacks though. Also, Lu You states: in Huo shan
jJun, when the ground is worked on deeply with a hoe to remove the weeds, [the people uncover] rapging fames. But this does not prevent them from planting. his, too,is a cold fire. Yang fames in the marshlands have the appearance of fiames 9f fire that cmerge from the surface of the watep as is quoted from Wang Bings comments on the ASz vezz. Ihere are 和 ckering demon fires in the wildernis. Such fires are of greenish colop and they are shaped like atorch. Jhey may assemble and then they may disperse again. hey are commonly called “demon fires.” Some say that these are fiickeringrays cmitted by blood. Jhe essence qi of gold and silyer. All gold, silver and jade gems emit fire rays during the night. Ihey look like fire, but they are unable to burn an item. Camphora and the marrow of the 2zz?3 are able to burn in Water. For details on camphora, see the section “woods; for details on the marrow of the 2z/z, see the sectionm “animals. Concentrated wine and viscous oil will burn
spontaneously when they are exposed to heat. Brandy and pure wine/alcohol w 串 burn spontaneously when they are exposed to the qi of fire. When one hundred Z27z of oil are fillled [linto a containerj,afire wi break out spontaneously When oil pa-
pep oiled clothes and oiled iron are exposed to hot steaming, fmhey will catch fire spontaneously In Nan huang are people who hate fire. Iheir country lies close to Hei Kun lun. Ihe people there can eat burning charcoal, and there are animals that consume fire. The 屯 zz 2zz states: The 2z2 Zoz 禍 斗 * are animals are shaped like dogs and they consume fires. Iheir excrements in turn cause fire that can burn down ahouse.In 和irong are birds that consume fire. hese are the ostrichs; for details see thesectiononfowl. Fire crows and bats can eat fames and smoke.Fire tortoises and fire mice/rats live in places under fire. For filre tortoises,see the entry on tortoises in thesection shells. Forfire mice/rats,see the entry on mice/rats in the section animals. All these are regularities based on the principles underlying the items con~ trolled by the Five Phases. 1f one learns of them unexpectedly he must not view 93
“BCGM 5T-38: Collected Explanations. [Lei] Xiao: There are animals in the seas that are called 2zzz.When theirmarrow is giveninto oil the oil can be dissolved in water Whena fire burns in water [prepared this way] itcannot be putout.Itcan only be extinguished by
spraying wine onto it. |t must not be stored under aroof. Hence,whenitis said that flre burns in watep this is notalie thatseems impossible.[Li] Shizhen: Ihis animal fat makes afre burn in water LIhis is identical with camphor Its [medicinal] effects are similar to
those of camphoptoo. This is something thatis no longer known today.

them as oddities. Jhe fact is, such aview would be evidence of that person having failed to thoroughly comprehend these principles. Also, there are perfect men who may center water Without the risk of drowntng, who may enter flre Without the risk of being burned and who may center metals and minerals without encountering any obstacles. When they walk under the sun orunder the moon,they have no shadow Such persons have truly become one with the DAO. Iheir names are unknown,and they are called perfect men. CaiJiufeng only spoke of wood fire, stone flre, thunderbolt fire, water fire,Worms/bugs filre,and
綽ckering fire. Apparently this list was
incomplete. [Zhu] Zhenheng: As long as the Supreme Ultimate moves, it engen~ ders yang; When it is quiet, it engenders yin. Ihe movement of yang results in change; the quietude of yin results in agreement [with the situation as is]. Ihe successive emergence of [the Five Phases] water fire, wood, metal and soil brings al-
Ways forth just one singular [phase]j. Only the fire consists of two,namely ruler fire, which is the fre of man, and minister fire, which is the fire of heaven. Fire is yin
inside and yang outside,and this way it controls al movements, because all movements are associated With fire. Io explain this based on the names,physical appearance and qi engender each othep in conformity with [the succession of] theFive Phases. Hence one speaks ofa ruler filre. To explain this on the basis of its position,
itis engendered outof absolute nothingness.ltis endowed with life while it guards its position,and therefore its movements are visible. Hence one speaks ofa minister fire . caven controls the engendering of items; hence there is eternal movement. Humans are born out of this, hence they too, are engaged in eternal movement. AA movements are caused by minister filre. As is apparent [under] heaven, theqof
wood are released by the thunderbolts of dragons,while the qti of water are released by the sea.As is apparent [in man, these movements] dependonthe two sections of liver and kidneys. Ihe liver is [associated with the phase of] wood,and the kidneys are [associated with the phase of] water. Ihe gall bladder is the short-term reposit-
tory attached to theliver. Iheurinary bladderis the short-term repository attached to the kidneys. Ihe heart enclosure is a partner of the kidneys. Speaking of the burning of the Lower Burnerp the Lower Burner serves to manage the section of liver and kidneys. Both are yin [repositories] located in the lower [section of mans
body]. Without this fire, heaven would be unable to engender the items. Without this fire, man himself would not come to life. Ihe fire of heaven may originate in Wood, but it is always based in the earth. Hence, the thunderbolt must be hidden,
drapgons must hibernate, and the sea must cling to the earth, otherwise they are unable to roap to fly and to create waves. lo roap to fly and to create waves are movements associated With_fire. Ihe yin [nature of」 liver and kidneys is entirely based in minister fire. Jhis way man is identical to heaven. Still [Li] Dongyuan
IIS8
7/2e 7z7/ Co Gd7zg 47z
held that [ministerj] fire is arobber of the original di. Both [minister] fire and orig-
inal di cannot exist side by side. One will be superior and theother will be defeated. How can this be? Zhou zi: ”Ihe spirit effuses knowledge. Once the items are endowedwith thefve typesofdispositionmthe myriad afairs wilappear.Once knowledpge exists, theitems are affected by the flve types of disposition and they wi move. These are the filve types of fire mentioned in the Ag When the five types of disposition lack the fire of yang, 了hey will be affected by the minister fire,and this is theendofmovement. Once afire fares up without reason,change and transforma-~ tion occur without measure and the true qi will suffer. Ihe yin will be depleted and disease Will result. Once the [flow ofjyin [qi] is cut off, death results. Jhe qi of the
ruler fire are explained in the classics on the basis of summerheat and moisture. The qiof the minister flre are explained in the classics on the basis of fire. This is to say that [minister fire] is much more violent than ruler fire. Henceitis said thatminis-
ter fire is therobberoforiginal qi. Zhou zisays further: “Sages are characterized by being fair and honest, benevolent and righteous, as well emphasizing calmness. 乙hu zisays: Itis essentialto lve in accordance with the DAO as guiding principle of ones entire life,and in ones intentions to always follow its orders. Now, when ones intentions follow the orders [of the DAO]
and in addition emphasize calm~-
ness, the movements of the five fires [in the organism」] w 訓 always remain constrained, and the minister fire Will have no other function than to benefit creatlion
and transformation, thereby unendingly securing the engendering of ife. How could it be arobber [of the original dj It is also said that “the ez 7Zzg speaks of fire only in view of the six di, but not in view of the long-term depots and shortterm repositories. Jt is said: Qi Bo hsted I9o pathological processes, With_ five 9
them being related to fire. All [diseases With] heat causing pressure and spasm, Without exception they are associated with fire. All [cases of qi] countermovement rushingupward,Wwithout exception they are associated with filre.All l[cases of ] over-
excitement and jumping in madness, without exception they are associated with fire. All [cases of」j clenched [teethj, chattering [teeth] and shiveringy, as if [the pa~-
tient| had lost his spirit guard, without exception they are associated with_ fire. Al diseases such as 友 -swelling,? pain, soreness and shock, without exception they are
associated With_fire. Ihis is correct. Liu Hejian states: “All [cases of] swaying and dizziness caused by wind are associated with the liver. Ihis is a wind fire. All cases of rushing and pent-up qi are associated With_ the lung. Ihis is a dryness fire. Al |cases] of swelling and fullness caused by moisture are associated with the spleen. This is amoisture fire. All [cases of] painful and itching sores are associated With 95

the heart. Ihis is a pent-up fire. That is, diseases caused by fire originate in the long-term depots and short-term repositories. Chen Wuze was an intelligent [physician] and yet he identifled the warmth [of the human body] as caused by the ruler fire, and he identified the minister filre as the fire active in daily affairs. No Wonder that the people of later times were deaf and blind [when it came to the differentiation of ruler fire and minister fire.

ollected Explanations. [Li| Shizhen: A Mr Sacrificial Fire Mianager handled the
fires in the country in accordance with their changing nature in the course of the four seasons to protect [the people] from seasonal iness. In the final month of springy he came forward with fire;in 了he fanal month of autumn,he took the fire in
again. All the people followed him. Ihe fact is, the extent to which the preparation of food is based on fire is related to the [peoples] inesses and diseases and longev-
ity to their dying young and surviving [until a late death]. As long as,in the course of the four seasons, tinder wood is drilled to obtain afresh_ fire which then is used
to prepare beverapges and food, and as long as excesses and shortages are avoided by acting in accordance With the [changing nature of]qiin the course of the four seasons, the people are protected against those 山nesses that are associated with [theqi of| the seasons. Elms and willows turn greenish prior to the hundred [other] trees.
Hence they are resorted to [as firewoodjin springyand the fire [itwith them]jisef

yellow wood. Hence they are resorted to [as firewood] in the lastmonth of summer and the fire [lt with them」is ofayellow color. Ihe sequence of the great filres seen in heaven is based on the [movement of the] stars. In the third month of springy when the dragon was seen at ez
辰,? [the Sacrificial Fire Manapger] came forward
With the fre, and this was the beginning of the season with summerheat. In the third month ofautumn, the dragon hid in xz 成 ,% and [the Sacrificial Fire Manager] tookin the fire. Jhis was the beginning of the season with cold. In their being active and resting, 和 the workers followed the DAO of heaven and thereby they prevented widespread occurrences of filooding and drought disasters. In later times, on [the day of] Cold Food all fires were forbidden. Jhis was to mark the change
of fire [from being takenin to being brought forth]j, but it is commonly assumed that[this dayis to mark] theJje Tui affair.2 Jhat is wrong. Ihe Daoist books state:
“The ashes left from afire below afurnace are called excrements of a dragon lying in hiding. Ihey must not be used to burn incense to serve the gods. o6-o3

Collected Explanations. [Li| Shizhen: Charcoal is obtained by burning wood. When woodis left foralong ttmeitwill rot, but charcoal even if buriedin the sol Ww 衣 not rot. Ihis is because wood is still alive. Charcoal is not alive. Undertaker use charcoal to prevent bugs/worms and ants from entering [a coffin/corpse] and to turn back the roots of bamboo and trees.

coal] is dead. Prior to the two days of Winter Solstice and Summer Solstice, the ancients placed equal weights of soll and charcoal on the two ends of ascale. With thearrivalofyin qb the soil gained weight.With the arrivalof yang qb the charcoal galned weight. 【 主 治】 ontrol.

Explication. [Li] Shizhen: Ihe 5z zoezz states: “When the disease is in the sinews,
repulate it through thesinews.With aheated needle apply arobbing them andalso where the sinews are tense. When the disease is in the it through the bones. Apply afire needle and medication poultices.' 72 有 7zy in its discussion of 4 types of blockage pain affecting theI2 always states:”Io achieve a cure, an aggressive piercing with a hot
piercing below bones,regulate Also, the zzz conduit sinews needle is to be
repeated until an effect is seen. Ihe transport [openings to be pierced are at] the
location of the pain. It also states: “When the disease of the conduit sinews was caused by cold,then [the spine] will be arched backward as if broken and the sinews are tense. If [the disease is caused by] heat, then the sinews will relax and can no
longerbe controlled. Ihe yin[(i.e., genital organ」is lame and useless. Ihe application of the filre needle serves to pierce cold [linduced] tensions. If [the sinews relax and cannot be controlled中|, this must not be treated with the fire needle.” In view of these [statementsj, the heated needle is applied to sinews that are tense because
of cold. Ihis is to cure cold by means of heat. Ihis is the method of normal thera~ py In later times, [heated] needles served to pierce accumulations forming lumps,
and their fire q was used to disperse the cold and to dry [moisture]. Ihis way the flthy [qi] were made to leave. Furthermore,when [aheated needle] is used to cure
obstruction-iHiness and impediment-ilnesss7 then this is amethod ofa therapy conforming [with the nature of the disease]. It serves to let the poison qi flow off. Ignorant [practitioners] resort to [the heated needle] to cure harm caused by cold
associated with a heat disease. Ihis is wrong. Zhang Zhongjing states: “In the case of harm caused by cold affecting the major yang [regionj, to apply a warmed needle ww 過 cause [the patient to suffer from] fright.In the case of weak camp qiy to apply aheated needle will obstruct the flow of blood. [Patients] Will effuse heat and ex-
perience unrest and restlessness.Tfin the case ofamajor yang disease, [a treatment is applied] to cause a discharge, then this will result in an obstacle-iliness5? below the heart. When in the case of both inner and outer depletion, and yin and yang |lqi] exhaustion,aburned needle is applied on top of this,andif then the [patient's3」
chest experiences unresty, With_his facial complexion being greenish-yellow and his skin being moist, hen this is df 帛cult to cure. In 和 these cases those who apply the [heated] needle are not aware of the principles underlying the insertion of the needle inconformityWwith therequired knowledge,and hence theyuse them faultily Io7 攻 zg 及 癱 疸, “obstruction-iHness, impediment-iness.”refers to two vaguely distinguished obstructions/impediments of vessels or other ducts inside the body Qi rushing against the obstruction may cause alocal swelling and eventually break through the surface to cause an abscess.

the five long-term depots with wind and fire ascending to rush_ to the eyes and causing fhe formation of a shade, or59 if following a disease a white membrane develops With loss of vision, for 和 1 these [conditions] it is appropriate to apply the
method of ironing.” Ihe fact is, when the qi and the blood are warmed, they wi flow freely When they are exposed to cold, they will coagulate and |their passage] Will be rough. Ihe method [is as follows]. Take aneedle with a fiat head the size of the shade [to be treated]- 本 eat it until it has become red, and carefully lower it
on the shade to brand it. Ihis will let the shade break open. Ihen apply medication topically to remove the [remains of the] shade. o6-o9

Jhey can be collected anytime. [Tao] Hongjing: As for the appearance of native gold, it can be found everywhere.Much ofitis presentin thethree 222zofLiang,Yiand Ning.I originates in sand in the waterp and appears as fragments. hey are called “native gold. InJlan ping andJn an too, native gold sand occurs. Tt originates in stones/ minerals.Ttis heated,with the fire strengthened bybellows,and cast to ingots. 上 ven though it was ecxposed to fire,it is still not processed filnally It needs to be refined With heat again.In Gao li, Fu nan and western territories abroad, they [use gold tol]
prepare utensils. Ihe [gold] is refined and processed to such a degree that it can be ingested. [Chen] Cangdqi: Native gold originates in the mountain caves of the Yi and Liao[tribesjin Ling nan. It looks like red and black crushed stones, similar to
metal and iron droppings [left after forging iron]. Ihe people in the South state: TJhese are the teeth of poisonous snakes that have fallen into the stones. It is also stated: When the excrements of snakes attach themselves to the surface of stones/ minerals, and when the droppings of 2e7 焗 birds attach themselves to the surface of stones/minerals,1f 也 ese happen to be poisonous locations, native gold is generated. It is very poisonous and kills humans. Ihe 5e7z cdz2 says: “Yellow metal/gold is poisonous. Ihat is wrong. Native gold and yellow metal/gold are entirely different. One often sees persons obtaining native gold. hey dig up earth more than a 2zzzg deep, until they reach [alayer of]sand-like stones. All these stones have one end
thatis scorched black. Below these size of a finger; small ones are like yellow. When one bites it and itis are craftsmen who secretly swallow signs of their being poisoned. Bran
stones is native gold. Large specimens have the sesame seeds or beans. Their color is mulberry very soft, then this is genuine gold. Now, there [gold to steal it|, but there have never been any gold originates in sand in the waters. It is given
on apiece of felt to be washed,and then [the gold] is removed. It is also possible to
obtain it from the abdomen of geese and ducks.[Such gold] can be struck to form utensils and other items; there is no need to further reflne it with heat. Juice obtained from boiling native gold is good for calming the heart.[Ma] Zhi: Nowadays, when physicians resort to it, 也ey aways process it by heat refinement and they boli gold utensils to obtain ajuice that is then made use of. Ihis way it is nonpoisonous. When our present dynasty recaptured Ling nan, researchers were sent out to question the local population, but they found no reports on the excrements of snakes [turning into gold]|. Ihe information [Chen] Cangqi had received was wrong. [Su
Song: Jhe gold nowadays originating in Rao, 入in, Nan jian and Deng zhou comes
C//z2/e7 2

in many kinds. Some are shaped like mountaitn rocks. Some resemble grains of rice or beans. All these varieties have not been processed with fire yet, and they are native gold allalike.[Li| Xun: When the 522z7z 2277Zzg says that gold in ]arge amounts originates in all the mountains, then this cannot be verifled. Ihe Gzzzzg >22z 7 states: ”Ihe country of Da shi produces very much gold, and gold coins are used there in trade exchanges. The 立 zoz >27 states: “Gold is generated in the river Li shui. Also, Cai zhou [produces」 melon seed gold. Gold nuggets originate in Yun nan; they are found among the rocks in the mountains. Bran gold is brought forth by 和 the waters in Qian nan Sui fu and 五 zhou.”Jhe zz 2zz9 Z states: Al] the streams,rivulets and rivers of Fu zhou, Bin zhou,Dengzhouand Fuxian in Wuling
bring forth native gold. Ihe locals there often raise geese and ducks to obtain their excrerments which they use to wash out bran gold. On asingle day they obtain one /z7zge or half a Zz7zg. But it may also be that at the endof the day they are left without a single bit of gold. Jhis gold shines at night. [Kou] Zongshi: As for gold nuggets,caves [are dug into the]l mountains reaching more thanahundredand tens of c27 [deep]. Once the“stones accompanying gold”appeap it is for sure that gold wi be found. Ihese stones are of brown color; with one of their ends shaped black as if it had been burned by fire. Ihe color of the gold is dark red and yellow.

the structure of thin silk. Jhis is its natural purity and hence [at this stage] it is nonpoisonous. Ihose who melt it drop some copper into it, and this [when heated|
generates thread-like lines and gold flowers. If much copper is added, contrary [to their intentions」 the silver will be spoiled. Once the copper is removed, the sub-
stance returns to be silver again. Howevep the small amount of copper added at the beginning can never again be made to leave. Ihose who prepare fake [products」, they use pharmaceutical minerals to produce lead and tin. Also, in antiquity there was amethod to boill and dissolve thin silver foils in mercury to prepare amud that was thenadded to medication. Because of this,silver fragments are poisonous.Silver basically is nonpoisonous. When it is poisonous, then this is because al the items ladded to it] are poisonous. Nowadays, the people use silver utensils to drink and to eat. When
[these utensill come into contact With poison, they turn black. Victims
who have died of poisoning are tested With asilver item. Jhis is proof that silver itself is nonpoisonous.Whenitisaddedtomedication,this is based on theidea thatit

Silver is endowd with the spirit of acrid [fiavor] and yin of the West. Its substance

originates in the mountain caves of Yong Zhou.Jtis collected in pits or from in between rocks, and its shape may be square or round. Tts color is greenish-yellow like copper [Su] Song: Nowadays it can be found everywhere in copper pits and in betweenrocks.A variation originating in 入 in zhou is shaped like disorderly copper threads.ltis said that when copperore is exposed to the hot fumes of mountain qi natural [copper] will flow out. In this, it resembles the“old mans beard”of native
silver. J]t is the best to be added to medication. Variations originating in Huo shan junare formedlike copperlumps.Jheyare hard and heavylike rocks. Ihe physicians call them“money box rocks. In [therapeutic] applications, their strength is weak.
Jhey are collectedanytime.Todays physicians in the South say: Natural copper may appear in two or three physical bodies. One body has the size of hemp or millet seeds. Ihey may be cracked open many times, and they cling together like strings of pearls. Some of them are as big as a Z2z measure. Ihey are of avery bright color like yellow metal/gold and brass. Ihey are the best for adding [natural copper] toa medication. Another body [of natural copper] is formed as lumps of unequal size. They too are shiny and red. Still another body resembles “ginger [stone] (Ifo-28) and iron droppings [left after forging iron]. In addition, there is [natural copper]
that has formed without arttflcial processing. Tt too, is of unedqual size and always originates in copper pits.When struckiteasily breaks.Itcomes with yellow-red and greenish-black colop and when refined with heat it becomes copper. Such statements are quite detailed analyses, but have not yet seen [natural copper」 resem~ blhng disorderly threads.1tis also said that todays merchants often consider money box rocks to be natural copper. 1f when burned they develop greenish fumes like those of sulphur then these are [money box rocks]. Jhey too, are present in two
or three Kinds. One variation has a shell hke limonite. When
it is broken open,
it shines like a mirror I]tis of yellow colop like that of brass. Another variation is greenish-yellow and has a [surface of] fat walls with aline design like abundle of needles. Still another variation has a fractured structure,as if made of pebbles. Ihey al are shiny like copper. Iheir color is mostly greenish-white. Red specimens are rare. When burned, they a11 develop fumes that are exhausted after a short time. Todays physicians often wrongly assume [money box rocks] to be natural copper Jhose sold on the markets frequently are such [falsely declared money box rocks. Still, there is no need to rely on their physical appearance and color [to distinguish
C/2z2/e7 2
255
genuine natural copper from money box rocks]. For an application of natural cop-~ peracalcination with _ fire is required. [Money box rocks] fear fire. IThis is all that is reduired to distinguish the two.Dugu Tao: Natural copper originates in silver flelds and copper pits of Qian shan county in 入in zhou. Copper ore grows in the depth; lnatural copper] has formed over many years from the qi of [such copper] ore. It resembles puffball (lit.: “horse fart ) mushrooms. Ihose of deeply purple color and tasting bitter and astringend when caten are genuine. Ihe people of today consider 大
厂 石 * to be natural coppep but that is wrong.[Chen] Cheng: Nowadays,avari-
ation of natural copper originates in the streams and marshlands of Chen zhou. It is round like Klein cinquefoil. Large pieces are as big as walnuts; small ones are of the size of chestnuts. On their outside their skin is black and shiny When broken open they are not any different from the money box rocks. Howevep the money box rocks do not emit malodorous qi. When they are added to amedication, their usages differ [Lei]| 入iao: Rock marrow lead is natural copper. Do not use pyrite instead. Both are truly similar I [the latter] is ingested mistakenly it will cause
Vomiting and eventually kills one. Rock marrow lead resembles dry silver mud. Jts favor is slightly sweet. [Li| Shizhen: According to the 82z2 >z7ze Z7z, natural copper grows in malachite and malachite caves.Jt is shaped like the roots of herbs ina cold forest. Jts coloris red anditis greasy It may also have asurface like fiat walls. There is another type that is reminiscent of cinnabar. It is shiny hard and has edges. Jnternally it has copper veins. It is the best. Another variation resembles the roots of atree.Itis neither red nor greasy It can be broken with ones filngers to apowder. Itis extremely aine and lucid. [Natural copper] occurs in mountains close to copper [caves]. Ihe natural copper commonly in use today is always faked.

Explication.[Kou] Zongshi: Ihere once was aman who used natural copper to raise awild duck with abroken wing. Later [the duck] recovered and flew away Now-~ adays, when someone was injured by a blow they grind [natural copper] toafne lpowder|j, process it With aqueous sublimation,add half a 7zz7z cach of Z7zoe/zcz root
and myrrh,and [letthepatientj ingest this mixed with wine.In addition the region
affected by the disease is massaged by hand. [Zhu] Zhenheng: Everybody believes natural copper to beadrug serving to reconnect bones. And there are very many recipes designed to this effect. In generab they are suitable for supplementing qi, for supplementing blood, and for supplementing the stomach. Common practitloners emphasize quick effects to conform with the sentiments of their patients. But when copper is not calcined it is of no use. When it has just been taken out of a fire, its fire poison and its metal poison incite each other. If then the heat poison of an aromatic drug is added, even though it may Still have its effect of reconnecting bones, a disaster of dryness and dispersion is initiated that is even more serious [than an
C/2z2/e7 2
257
injury caused byaknife orsword]. Ihisis to beavoided.[Li| Shizhen: Ihe effects of natural copper to reconnect bones are identical to those of copper fragments. One mustnot falsely criticize it. Howevep once the bones are reconnected,it mustnot be
ingested regularly [Medication to] order the qi and to enliven the blood is required.

[Li Shizhen: Lead grows between the rocks in mountain caves. Ihe people hold oil ]amps and enter [these caves] several Z deep. Ihey follow the course of the [leadl
ore veins as they move winding up and down,and use axes to break them out [of the rocks]. Iheir qi are poisonous for humans.I [the miners] fail to leave [the caves
for several months, their skin slackens and turns yellowy their abdomen is bloated and they cannot eat. his is often accompanied by iness and eventual death. Ihe 77 777zg Z states: “Where greenish herbs with red stalks grow much ]ead will be underneath. Ihe essence of lead and tin brings forth old women. "Dugu Tao states: In 五a zhou and Li zhou,a herb node lead is produced. Itis acalcined powder Gef crude lead. When
strucky it breaks into pieces. When
heated, it develops qi like
sulphur. “Purple back lead is processed lead; it is the essence splendor of lead. It can be transformed [to a hardness] enabling one to cut to pieces diamonds. In Ya

Sulphur loves to be combined with lead,and it is subdued by salammoniac. Jron loves to be combined with magnetite, and itis killed by lead. Realgar loves to be combined with lead, and it is killed by zcz7222z7zzxz [root bark]|. Hence, the changes and transformations undergone by lead are very many. One change of it results in lead carbonate.A second change of it results in minium.A third change of it results in litharge.A fourth change of it results in lead acetate.

Explication.[Wang] Haogu: Black tin/lead is associated with_the kidneys. [Li Shizhen: Lead has the qi of the North, of gz7 笑 銜, and of water. It is the essence
of cxtreme yin. Its body is heavy and solid. Tts nature is moistening and smooth. Its color is black. Internally it penetrates the kidneys. Hence such offhcial recipes as the_ black tin/lead elixir and the elixir to spread clarity and to supplement the genuine, they both make use of it. When it interacts With mercury it can serve to cure al types of yin and yang[qij confusion, when they are plenty above but depleted below when the qi rise but fail to descend, resulting in vomiting, dizziness and [brain] movement in gullet occlusion with turned over stomach and all types of criticalillnesses.Itisaso called [pharmaceutical] preparation to press and weigh 25I zzg 并 , “obstruction崗 ness,”refers to an obstruction of vessels or other ducts inside thebody Qirushing against the obstruction may cause alocal swelling and eventually break through the surface to cause an abscess.

down' and has the function of reversing [what is wrong] to what is right. However its nature includes yin poisonm and itmust not be ingested in ]arge quantities, lest it harm heart and stomach. Ihe nature of lead, in addition, is capable of entering the
flesh. Hence,when girls pierce their ears with lead pearls, eventually 也ey will bore holes. When abarren girl has her vagina closed,abarb made of lead is used to pull on it day after day. Eventually after a long time,it wi open. All these are methods unknown to the people in ancient ttimes. When lead is changed and transformed to lead carbonate, to minium, to litharge, and to lead acetate, the [therapeutic] func~ tions of all [these products] are identical to those of lead. However lead carbonate
enters the qisection. Minium enters the blood section. Litharge serves to press and weigh down and moves downward. Lead acetate is especially suitable for curing lilinesses affecting] the Upper Burnep chest and diaphragm. Ihis is where they 糾 differ. Ihe recipe masters cast [lead] to produce combs,and with these combs they
comb beard and hair on the head to give itablack luster. Orit is boiled with pharmaceutical substances to [prepare medication that is] especially good.

Correction of Errors. [Su] Gong: Qzzz zz 鈴 丹 and 2 /z 胡 粉 are practically
producedby frying tin.When Tao [Hongjing」 states that it is transformed lead, he is wrong. [Zhu] Zhenheng: 到 zz /z 胡 粉 is zz 7 錫 粉 ,“tin powdery”it is not 7727 /z 鈴 粉, “lead powder”The ancients prepared atin powder and the women used
itto apply it to their face. Tts color is that of muscle flesh; it must not be added to medication.[Ma] Zhi: zz x7 粉 錫 and 2zz7g Zzz 黃 丹 are two different items,but both are transformation products of lead. When Lil, the Duke of Ying,in apref-
ace states: “Lead and tin are not to be distinguished, then this is meant. According to Li Hanguang in his 77 “both zz7zo 2Z27 and 2z/ /zz are transformed lead; have not heard of tin being made use of.”Ihe Czz 名 zze 27 states: “When 2z /7z is dropped into charcoal, its color decays and is reverted to that of lead.”Ihe 25z272 ?7 /Ve7 27z7/ states:“Jpgnorant people do not believe that 2zzz7zo Z27z and 2z /7z are transformation products of lead. When Su Gong assumes that both are produced by frying tin, thatis a great mistake. [Li] Shizhen: When tin is fried, this results in black ashes; how could this be a white powderP Su Grong already was wrongy and 乙hu /henheng repeated this mistake. But why?

Collected Explanations. [Li]| Shizhen: According to Mo zi, “Yu [the founderof the
入ia dynasty] produced thepowder” Zhang Huainhis 22 27 states: “Zhou [the last ruler of the Shang dynasty] burned lead and tin to produce the powder.”Ihat is, the origin of the [lead carbonate] powder lies far [backin the pasd| Nowadays,
itis produced inJln ling, Hang zhou, Shao zhou and Chen zhou. Ihat from Chen Zhou is particularly genuine;itis abit greenish. Ihe locals inform of the production method as follows. For each preparation melt roo 7Zzz of lead, cut it into fine slices,
rol them to form tubes and place them into awooden jar. Place aflask with vinegar both below and inside the jap seal it tigphtly from the outside with salt mud, and close the jars seams with paper Ihen give four /zzg of fuelintoa “Wind furnacey [place the wooden jar on top of it| and mildly heat it for seven [days]. Sweep [the
dried powderj into a water basin and seal and mildly heat [the wooden jar] again. Repeat this until no more lead is left. If there is [lead] that has not been trans-
formed entirely retain it and fry it to prepare minium. Io each 7zz of the powder add two /z7zoe of soybean powder and four /z7o of clamshell powderp give this into water and stir it to generate an even mixture. 紀 ventually [和 lter it to] obtain the
dregs and to discard the clear water. Now prepare [alayer of]filne ashes and press a groove into it. Cover it with several ]ayers of paper and place the powder on it. Let lthe dregsj] dry thereandthen cutthem into pieces shapedlike tiles. Once they have dried, they can be taken up. Fan Chengda in his 2eze 727 states: Lead powder produced in Gui lin is most famous; it is called Gui powder ,gz/7 /277 桂 粉. Itisa
productresulting from atransformation of black lead fomentedinajarwith distilers grains. Tle Mengchuninhis Yz Zoo states: In song yang they produce lead. The locals often use it to produce lead carbonate. Iheir method is as follows: Ihey suspend pieces of lead in ajar fllled with wine. Ihen they seal it and keep it closed for 49 days. When they open it [the lead] has transformed to the powder [of lead carbonate]|. Ihose parts [of the lead] that have not turned white are fried to make
2zzz7zp 2Zz7. The dregs of 2zZz7g Zz7 are 7 2 vezg 密 陀 ,僧 litharge. Ihese three items serve to reap extreme profits. Ihe lead qi are poisonous. Ihe workers must eat fat pork and dog meat, and they drink wine and iron broth/suspension to suppress [the poisonous qi they are struck by this poison with an empty stomachy, they often fall and eventually die. Older and young workers that are exposed to the poisonous fumes often sufferfrom dysfunction With jaundice,paralysis and cramps,
C//z2/e7 2
277
and then they die.'Ihe methods applied [to produce lead carbonate] vary The fact is,skilled experts come up With fresh ideas all the time,because the faster the trans-
formation the better the profit. Also it is obviously wrong [to say] that the ancients [produced lead carbonate by] frying tin. IThe 入 7z7zg ez7z Z27 states: “Tf lead acetate from Shao after being steamed fails to become 和 white, steam itin an earthenware Jar With radish addedanditWwill turn white.

ollected 匕xplanations. 25zz 太 : Minium is made out of leady; it originates in the plains and marshlands of Shu jun. [Tao] Hongjing: This is 2zz7zg zz 黃 丹 , which nowadays is produced by boiling lead. In recipes of the general public it is rarely resorted to. Only the classics of the hermits/immortals require that it is applied to thecauldrons used to prepare their elhixirs. When they claim that through transformation it becomes the “ninefold radiance [elixirj, thatis to say, to prepare the “nine-
fold radiance elixir such acauldron is required. Ihere is no other way to prepare it. [Kou] Zongshi: Minium is produced through atransformation of lead. Ihe 5zz 2
states that it is alead product. Hence when Su Gong states that it is produced by frying tn he is wrong. Ihe two are not difhcult to distinguish.Tinis ofadark colory lead is brilliant-white. Jhatis the difference. [Li] Shizhen: According to Dugu Taos 7z7z./zzo 7
27
the methodtofry [lead to prepare] minium is as follows.
Required are one 7/7z of lead, ten Zz7g of sulphur one /Zzze of nitrokalite. Melt the lead to ahquid. Drop vinegar on it While it violently bubbles give a piece of sulphur into it. After a short while add asmall amount of the nitrokalite to it. Once the bubbling has ended, again drop vinegar on it, and in the same way as before sma11 amounts of nitrokalite and sulphur. Eventually apowder has formed and tfhis is minium.”Today the people use the substances remaining after the production of lead carbonate. Ihey fry them with nitrokalite and alum to generate minium. 了 minium is to be reversed to become lead againmsimplymix minium with thejuice cf onitons,still With their haip and fry this overamild fire. Once itis calcined,ametal
Juice is generated. Ihis is poured outand thereversal to lead is complete. Merchants often adulterate [miniumj with nitrokalite and sand. Forall applications,give it into water to let the nitrokalite flow away and [drop it while blowing at it to] let the
sand flow away Ihe dregs are dried and then fried overamild fire until they have assumed apurple color. Keep them sprayed on the ground to allow the fire poison to leave and then add them to medication. Ihe 7/7z/7 Zz2z7z states: “By processing one /Zz of black lead, [one obtains] one /Jzz, flve 7zz7z and three /z ofminium.

poison accumulated in it. Ttis also said: “Arsenic is the root of tin. It has the color of silver and the material texture of lead. Among the five metals, only tin is easily reshaped. Hitis wrongly used medicinally it is the robber among the flve metals. Ifitis correctly used medicinally it is the matchmaker among the five metals.” The 有 Zoecz2 ve 7 says: In the countryof Manlajiatin is obtained from mountain rivulets by washing sand in apan.

When he identifles tin as lead, and lead as tinm, and when he says that both minium and lead carbonate

[Li| Shizhen: A mirror is the essence of metal and water. J]t is shiny
on its inner side and it is dark on its outside. Ancient mirrors are comparable to ancient swords. Both possess divine/spirit brilliance. Hence they are able to ward o竺 malign goblins andvisitations by the malign.All households should hang alarge mirror as it is able to ward of evil goblins. he 字 用 Ge 22z27z states: When humans are concerned with their physical appearance,they can extend theirlife.When they iiluminate their face with anine zz7zz Wide brilliant mirror this will enable them to
thoroughly recognize their own bodys physical appearance.

and suffering wnot enter it. Ge Hong in his 25z22z >7 states: When the myriad human beings have become old, they may use their essence to manipulate their physical appearance so as to mislead others. But they are unable to alter their true physical appearance as it is reflected in amirror. Hence,whena Master of the Dao
centers the mountains, he carries With him on his back ashiny mirror with a diamcter of at least nine /z7z. Jhis lets evil goblins not dare to approach him. When they see 了heir own physical appearance, they will inevitably turn around and run away When [the Masterof the Daoj turns around With his mirror to face them,if he sees
that they have feet with heels, then these are mountain spirits.1f they have no feet With heels, they are old goblins. As is documented in so many books, ancient mirrors have supranatural, astonishing [effects]. Ihis has been proved again and again. Some are quoted here as follows. Jhe /.2zog7z7e 2 states: Han [Emperor] Xuan di
possessed aprecious mirrop as big as acoin weighing eight 22z, and it enabled him to observe evil goblins. Ihe 上Emperor aways wore it on his garment.

When he came across apatient, heilluminated him with the shine [of the mirror] and [that person] was cured. Ihe

alamp. Henceforth, his entire family remained free from
山ness. Ihey named [the
mirror] “freeing of iiness mirror”The 和 777zg 2Z2 二 states: Han |[emperor] Gao zu obtained asquare mirror from [Qin] Shi Huang. It was four c27 wide and five 27

ollected Explanations. [Su] Song: Whenever items are cast from coppep tin is
added mostoften. Jhis is meant by the 大z2.go7zg 趣 whenitstates: “Craftsmen working with metalb they produce six preparations of metalL Items like medicinally used ancient coins With ascript and triggers of copper crossbows, they 4 include tin. Hence their [therapeutic] usages are similar.[Kou] Zongshi: When the copper 0f ancient coins is scorched until it has turned red, it is poisonous and can cause rot-
ting and decay of flesh. Jhis is not because [the coins] contain tin. Io say so is Wrong. Only the large 5o [units] coins of KingJing of the Zhou,and the“treasure Wares [also of the Zhouj, the half a /Zz7ze [coins] of the Qin, the “pod coins and the flve 22z [coins] of various sizes of the Han, the large 5oo [units] coins and the large coins”equivalent to Irooo [units] of Wuy the four and the two 22z [coins] of the Song,as well as the“four column [shaped coins] of the Liang,and the flve 2%2z
[coins of」] “permanentpeace”of Northern Qi, they all may be used [for therapeutlc purposes」]. [Li] Shizhen: Only those old coins With ascript that are older then soo
years may be used [for therapeutic purposesj. Ihe money cast during the /z27 277 reign period (7D3 一 74D of [emperor] Gao zu of the Tang had the right weight and
size, and has been especially highly valued from ancient times to today Mr. Qimus O0727z y2z7z //7z states: Yellow gold is the father. White silver is the mother. Lead is the elder son. Tin is the daughter-in-law. Jhe nature [of ancient coins] is very
hard and [when they are processed for medical use] water is required from the beginning to the end. ITheir body is round to reflect heaven. Iheir hole is square to reflect the earth. Ihis is the law on which the casting of coins is based. Coins cast during the three ten-day periods of the hottest season of a year produce a juice [when processed」] thatis not clear. It is commonly called furnace jelly. Ihe fact is, fre overcomes metal. During the Tang dynasty the people on the fifth day of the ffth month cast mirrors in thhe middle of ariver.

Explication. [Kou] Zongshi: Ancient coins are poisonous. Ihey are often used to
cure screens and stagnant blood in the eyes, decaying and rotting filesh, women piving birth toachildin atransverse and footling presentation, and the five types of dripping [urine]j. In my youth,Toften suffered from red eyes accompanied by a painfulswelling.Twas unable to open [the eyes] forseveral days.Avisitor instructed me to use apiece of fresh pingep wash it clean and discard its skin, scrape it With an ancient greenish coin to obtain ajuice and drip this [into the affected eyes」]. In the beginning, this was very painful and hot tears covered my face. But in the end, there was no harm left. In later times when there were patients suffering [from this ailment ]] instructed them [to use this treatmentd|, but often they doubted [and refused itd|. hose who believed in it dropped [the juice into their eyes], and there
Wwas not a single case where after just one application acure was not achieved. It never needed to be repeated. Howevep once sores have formed,itmust not be used.

Jade springs and jade frapgments mountain valleys of Lan tian.

to carefully distinguish among them. Ihis is why Mr. Bian wept extensively when stones from Yan were placed into abasket [together with other kinds of jade]. [Li

is unheard of that jade prows in Lan tian, Nan yang and Rinan. It originates only in the country of Tian. During theJin dynasty Zhang Kuangye, Chief Director of Dependencies,was sentto [the countryof] Tian,and wrotea “Record ofaJourney”
listing the localities of that country where jade was collected. He says:”Ihe Yu he/ Jade Riveris located outside of Yu tian city. It springs in the Kun [lun] mountains
and fiows westward for I3oo
untill it arrives at Niu tou shan/ox head mountain
that borders on Yu tian. Ihere it branches into three rivers. One is named “white jade river5 3o Zeast of the city Ihe second is named “green jade river; 2o Z west ofthe city Ihe third is named black jade river; seven Zfrom the green jade river toward he West.ELven though they have one identical origin, their jade changes in response to the ground [over which the threerivers flow].Hence their colors differ EEach yearin theffth andsixth month the waterrises strongly andit brings the jade with it. Ihe quantity of the jade depends on the level of the water. When it retreats in the seventh and eighth month, [the jade] can be collected. Ihe local people cal it scooping up jade from the water.[Ihe further processing of the jade] in that country is subject to_ certain prohibitions. Utensils for ingesting and consuming llongevity substances] are often made of jade. All the |jade] presentin China is brought here from there. Wang Yiin his 交/ Z7z records the colors of jade as follows: Redlkeacocks comb. Yellow like steamed milletL White like animal fat just severed. Black like pure lacquer And he speaks of auspicious jade tokens. Still, the only one he fails to mention is blue jade. Nowadays, blue and white [jades] are at handallthetime. Black [jade]occurs everynowand then. Yellow and red |jades] are not available at 4. Even if six containers filled with precious gifts [are presented|
it is di 了 cult to obtain real items [in returnm]. Nowadays, from Yi zhou avariation
of stones originates with acolor like steamed millet. Ihe locals callit “millet jade. Some say fmatitis akind of yellow jade. Howevepitis of only aslightly moist and lustrous appearance and the sound [it emits when tapped] is neither clear nor of a high pitch.Ihatis,it doesnotreach [the quality of true jade]. Ihe fact is, 了hose who

The 7zz7 zz 27 states: “When the jade from Mount Zhong shan is cooked ina furnace overacharcoal fire for three days and three nights, neither its color nor its luster will change. lt is endowed with the essence of heaven and earth .In view of all these statements, the places where jade was produced are numerous. Ihose places where no jade originates today may have been subjected to some calamity Hence it is only the jade from Yu tian thatis considered valuable now. In ancient ritual ceremonies, names such as xzz7z gz7 玄 于 ,“translucent jade tablets (conferred upon of-
ficials as asign of dipgnity),”czzze 27 營 壁 ,“greenish-bluish round, flat pieces of jade (with ahole in the middle used for ceremonial purposes),”7zzz7zg Co7z 黃 琮 ,“yellow

The 字 元 states: “When stones include jade,their dis thatofawhite rainbow; their essence spirit appears in mountain rivers.”Ihe 52 zz 227 states: “Mountains With prain produce jade.”Ihe AS27 >7 states: “Pearls are found in waters that roll over ina circular mannery jade occurs [in waters that] roll over in a directional manner.'”Ihe
77 77zo Z states: JMountains where in the second month herbs and trees become shiny and bow [their head|, they have jade. Ihe essence of jade is like a beautiful woman.”Ihe 如 y2z states: Jade has a dark ]ine [design] in mountains, and a
greenish-bluish lne [design] in water. When itgrows in amountain, the trees there are justrous. When itis brought forth by watep its How will be frapgrant. When it is hidden in uncut rocks, its line design will be visible on their outside. In view of al these statements, there are two kinds: Jade produced by mountains and that produced by waters. Most of Chinas jade occurs in mountains; the jade of Yu tian occurs in rivers. Stones similar to jade are oz 玩 , 歷 玩 , &zz現 , zz 形 , cozg 殉 and

[Su] Gong: Corals grow in the Nan hai. Ihey are also brought here from Po si guo/Persia and Shi zi guo/Srilanka. [Su] Song: Nowadays they are also available in Guang zhou. Ttis said that they grow on the bottom of the sea with astalk and branches, and With a brilliant luster resembling red jade. Many of them have holes, but there are also those without holes. Ihose with many stalks and branches are particularly difcult to obtain. Ihey are collected anytime. According to the /Z7 >227zo 有 zz
When
corals are to be gathered, an iron net is
to be lowered onto the bottom of the sea first. Corals will penetrate it and grow in [the netj. Within one year they reach a height of two to three c2z. Ihey have branches, but they have no leaves. Because they are entangled in the net they can be removed With it. Ihey all are broken to pieces in the netyand hence it is difficult to obtain complete specimens. ITdo not know whether today they are still collected in the same manner. During the Han dynasty in the 五 cui lake there was a coral one 7227zo two c27 tall, With one stem and three stalks and 46o branches.It is said
to be agift presented by King Zhao Iuo of Nan Yue. During the night it emitted lght. During the Jin dynasty Shi Chong in his house had acoral six to seven 27 tall. Nowadays such tall and big [corals] are no longer heard of. [Kou] Zongshi
Among corals are those with ared, oily color and a fine, amiable lengthwise line design. Ihere are others with a color reminiscent of minium and without lengthWise line design. Ihey are of low rank. For medication, those of ared, oily color are resorted to. In the Po si/Persian sea is a coral bank. Ihe people on the sea use large oceangoing ships and lowerironnets to thebottom of the seato gather[the corals. When corals first grow on big rocks, their color is white like that of mushrooms. Within one year they become yellow. Within two years [their color] changes to red, and their branches and trunks intertwine. hey are three to four 27 tall.

Collected Explanations.[Chen] Cangdqi: Agate grows in the jade rocks of Western countries. It belongs to the group of beautiful stones and is valued as a treasure. That brought to China is always processed to utensils. [Agate] also originates in Ri ben/Japan. [Agate] that does not get hot when rubbed with wood is best; that
which gets hot is not genuine.[Kou] Zongshi: Agate is neither jade nor astone;y it forms a group ofits ownincluding three kinds: red, white and black. Ihere are also specimens with aline design of intertwined silk threads. Ihe people in the West use small pieces as toys, and they process large pieces to utensils. [Li|] Shizhen: Agate originates in various countries in the South-West. It is said that exposed to JMeerschaum it softens and can be carved. Cao 之hao in his Gz 2z Z7z states: [LAgate] mostly originates in regions in the North, from southern foreign lands and from western foreign ]ands. It is neither a stone nor jade. It is hard and at the sarmmetimebristle.Whenscratched with aknife,no mark Will be left. Ihose are most
precious that seem toinclude the physical appearance of humans,birds or animals. Gu Wenjian in his 上 xz27 太 states: “IThere are very many different agate items, produced in the South andin the North. Some are as big as a Zoz measure; their substance is hard and solid,and to process them requires hard work. Southern agate is produced in countries like Da shi. Itis of apure red color without any fiaws, and can be processed to cups of various sizes. [Agate] from the North-West is of greenish-black color.

Its shiny color resembles that of muscovite. Ihat which can be broken is good. Whenitis [ground to a] powdepit is called “genuine bright red
[sand]j/cinnabar”” [Tao] Hongjing: This is todays 22z 52z 朱砂 , “bright red sand。”
Vulgar physicians acquire realgar mixed with orpiment from Qiu chiin Wu du and name this“cinnabar. To use this [for therapeutic purposes」 is wrong. Fulng lies at the border of Fu zhouy south of Ba jun. Ioday, [cinnabar] is no longer collected there. Instead itoriginates in all the regions of the_ Man and the YiinWulng and 入 ichuan. All these [places] are located in the region of Ba. Hence [the cinnabar
originating in there]is called “sand from Ba.”Ihe classics of the hermits/immortals, too, [recommend to] use“sand from_Yue.” Ihis is [cinnabar] originatingp in Lin
Zhang in Guang zhou.[Cinnabar] from both these places is good. But those that are lustrous and clearlike jade are best. Ihose reminiscent of muscovite pieces are called “mother of clouds/muscovite sand/cinnabar.'”Ihose with a physical appearance resembling Chinese toona seeds and fiuor spap they are called “horse tooth sand/ cinnabar.'”Ihey are good,too. Ihose sizedlike small or big beans,and big pieces that are round and smooth, they are called“soybean sand/cinnabar.”1hose broken to a

[To obtain] cinnabar a pit several 22z7zg deep is dug. Even though [different types of cinnabar] may originates in one identical prefecture and county there may still be goodandbad [kinds].- Where [cinnabar] is obtained from a water well, this is superior to [that obtained fromjafre well.7 In recipes of the immortals [recommending substances] for refinement by heat and ingestion,[cinnabar] is the most trea~
sured substance to achieve longevity [Su] Gong: Generally speaking, there are two kinds of cinnabar: soil sand/cinnabar and stone/mineral sand/cinnabar Ihe si sand/cinnabap in turn, includes lump sand/cinnabar and powder sand/cinnabar,
Theirphysicalbody is heavy and their coloris yellow-black. Ihey are not suitable for painting. Ihey are equally good for healing sores and 7ze崗 ness. 色 But they must not be added to medication for the central and abdominal region. Ihey can be heated and will release much mercury Stone/mineral sand/cinnabar appears in more than ten grades. Ihe top grade is the“brilliant shine sand/cinnabar' It is said that only one kernel is present in one stone cave. Large ones resemble chicken eggs; sm 紀 ones resemble dates and chestnuts. Iheir physical appearance is reminiscent of lotus [buds].When theyare broken,they resemble muscovite. Ihey are of abrilliant shine
and lustep andinacave they grow on stone platforms. ITo obtain them and to wear them on the body serves to keep away the malign. Ihey are the best. Ihe next grade originates etther from within stones/minerals or from within water. Lumps may be as big as a thumb, or as small as apricot seeds. Iheir shine has no flaws; they are called horse tooth sand/cinnabar and with another name weightless sand/cinnabar'”Ihey are equally well suited to be used as paint or as medication. Ihe common people rarely have access to them. 442 人 z, 六 new well, separate well, water well fire well lotus, stone powdep stone heap, and bean powder kinds of cinnabar are 和
sormewhat similar in their physical appearance. Ihey can be used for medication and paint once the soil and the stones they are contaminated with are discarded. Jhere is also a Yue sand/cinnabar. Big pieces reach the size of aflst small ones are as big as chicken and duck eggs. Even though they are big, since they are contaminated With soill and stones, they are not as good as those that are filne and brightand clean. When the classic says “the name of the powder is genuine bright red [sand]/cinna~bap thenthis is wrong.How coulditbe that the complete body and thepowderef one identical item have two different names?

cinnabar from Chen [zhouj being the best. Tt grows deep in the mountains between rocks, where local people collect it. Ihey dig holes in the ground several tens of c27 deep and then they first see its outcrop. Ihese are white stones, called “cinna~ bar bed.”Ihe cinnabar grows on these stones, and large pieces reach the size of a chicken egg. Small ones are as big as pomegranade seeds. Ihey are shaped like Indian lotus flowers or like metal arrowheads. As long as they are attached to the “cinnabar bed [stones] they are of a dark purple color that is shiny and clear like
jade. When they are broken from their rock base, [the pieces] have flat wall-like
surfaces. Ihere are also some thatlooklike muscovite when they are broken to piec~ es. Ihey are the genuine Chen [zhou] sand/cinnabar. Ihey are even better when they are not attached to stones. Beyond this [layer several tens of c27 deepy, further cinna~bar pieces] are found among soil and stones that are washed inapan. Ihese [cinna~bar pieces] have not grown on a “stone bed.”Ihese should be very ]arge pieces. When they are broken, the pieces too, have fat wall-like surfaces. But they rarely
are shapedlike comparable items,and their coloris adeep red. Hence their [medicinal] application does notequal thatof Chen [zhou] sand/cinnabar. Ihe fact is, they originate in between soilland rocks; they have not grown on the white stone bed. In Chun zhouand Rongzhou,near theregionof Yizhou,there is cinnabarp too. Hence 了 the waters there are entirely red. Whenever there are smoke,fog or steam qlb they too, are red-yellow and the localpeople call them “cinnabar qi.” Ihey are particular-
ly able to cause miasmatic epidemics, and let the people suffer.J
西e [zhou] sand/
cinnabar is of still an inferior quality None of these may be added to medication. They can only serve as paint. Ihe very best cinnabar is“brilliant sand/cinnabar.

s2z 丹 砂 is nowadays called z2z s2z 朱砂 . Chen zhou sand/cinnabar mostly originates in caves in the regionofthe Man [people] and from theJie liao caves and the Lao yao well near 西n zhou. Ihis well is several tens of >2zz deep and wide.[Ihe people」 first gather firewoodin the welland burn it. Where the greenish rock walls burstopensmall niches appeapandin these niches the “white stone beds are found. These stones resemble jade. Cinnabar grows on the“[white stone] beds.” Small [pieces] are as big as arrowheads. Large ones are of the size of lotus [buds]. Iheir shine is strong enough to be reflected. When they are ground, they are of afresh red |color]. Large pieces of cinnabar clinging to the [white stone] beds weigh seven to ceight /zz7zgy or even ten Zzzg.[「Cinnabar] from Huang zhou is shaped like metal
arroWwheads and is contaminated with stones. It is obtained from within soil and
cannot be compared with the [ecinnabar discussed] here. [Chen] Cheng: 本 n zhou
and Shang zhou too,bring forth acinnabarvariation.Ttis of aslightly yellow color and emits sollqi.Ttis added to medicationin Shaan xi, He dong, He bei, Bian dong
and Bian xi. In Chang an and Shu zhou they grind it and use is as a substitute for vermilion in the fabrication of lacquerware. Also, in recent years a variation of cinnabar has originated in 入in zhou. [Its pieces]」are very big. Ihey are shiny and have fat wall-like surfaces. Io acertain degree they resemble_[cinnabar] produced inYi
Zhou but they include the q ofarsenic,and when they are broken they often show the color of arsenic.When [Xin zhou cinnabar] is added to medication for [thera-
peutic] usage and exposed to_[the heat of」 fire, it may kill one. It is often traded
todayonthemarkets of Zhezhong.Itis essentialto closely examineit.[Li] Shizhen: innabar from ChenandJinis the best.Mayangis the region ofancientJin zhou. Grood is“arrowhead sand/cinnabar'”Ihat which is bound and not solid is“]ung sand/cinnabar”Fine [kinds] are“powder sand/cinnabar.”Jhat of purple color that

Ihat with a fresh color and dyes paperis “new pit sand/cinnabar Ttis next in quality Ihe cinnabar kinds from 入 ie zhouyJln and Shang zhou, referred to by Su Song and Chen hengy they are the realgar from Wu du mentioned by Tao Hongjing. Ihey are not cinnabar. Fan Chengdain his Gz/z 227 >27 states: “The 257 cdzoconsiders Chen [zhoul sand/cinnabar as the besty followed by Yi [zhou] sand/cinnabar. Howeverp the plac-
es in Yizhou where cinnabar originates in are near Mount DayashaninHubei.In the North itis Chen [zhouj sand/cinnabar;in the South itis Yi [zhou] sand/cinna-
bar. Ihe veins in the ground are identical: Hence there is no reason to distinguish between the two. Old [ctinnabar|, too, originates in “white stone beds. When
Su
C//z27/e/ 9
4o5
Song states: “Yi [zhou] sand/cinnabar originates in among soil and stones, it has not grown on stone beds,”then he was unaware of these [facts]. Jhere is an addi-
tional variation of red color and tender substance matter. It is called “soil pit sand/ cinnabar”Now |[cinnabar] from between soill and rocks does not stand much fire. Yong Zhou too, has cinnabar. Large pieces weigh tens if not hundreds of /z7zg-
These pieces are of ablack, dull colorp they have few fat wall-like surfaces and they are not suitable for being added to medication. Ihey only serve to be heated to ob~ tain mercury [Su] Song states that [cinnabar] is also found in Rong zhou. But there
is no cinnabar in todays Rong Zhou.So,this is a writing error for Yong Zhou. Quxians Gezzg x77/ zz ce states: “The cinnabar that is brought forth in the mountain caves of Wuxiandhas obtained the qiofthe true South is best. Ihat from all the Mayang mountains and from regions adjacent to Wu xi is second. All [kinds of] cinnabar from Yun nan, Po si/Persia and Xi hu that are shiny and clean can be used [for therapeutic purposes]. A variation of cinnabar from Liu zhou that as a complete lump resembles
Chen
[zhou]
cinnabarp while its pieces are round like gzzZ77772
[seedsj, is not added to medication for [therapeutic] use. Cinnabar from the soil of
Shang zhou and Qian zhou and from Yiand 入in zhou includes poison qi and the qi of gold, silyep copper and lead. (must not be ingested. Zhang Gao in his 7/z7 52z yz2.7zz states: “CCinnabaris the head of the myriad miraculous [items]. Tt resides

Ihose from Jao and Gui, that are obtaincd from the top of aseat and from breaking away stones, with their physical appearance resemblinglotus [buds] andashiny top and surface, they too, are added
to first rank. Ihose coming as transparent kernels are of middle rank. Slaps without

Juster are of lower rank. Cinnabar from Heng and Shao may be purple, but if it is obtained from between sand and rocks, it too,is of lower rank. Ihere is aXi|zhoul|

Then the 5.7Zzzg identifled cinnabar as nonpoisonous, and hence it was often refned with heat and processed to be ingested for food. Only rarely [people who ingested it| did not suffer because of such medication.Why should the statement [in the zzze]| that |cinnabar] is nonpoisonous be accepted as superiorP It is essential to be carefuL [Kou] Zongshi: Cinnabar presses down and nourishes the spirit of the heart, but it is advisable to resorttoitin its raw [unrefined] state.Tf ingested reflned

After a year was ovep he once again washed [the cinnabar] and gave it back into the cauldronm inadvertently missing one piece. One of his disciples took it formed it to ap 記 and ingested it. He subsequently lost his consciousness and died within one night. Ihat is, as long as cinnabar is unprocessed evenanewborn child may ingest it. But when its strength is changed by the impact of fire, it is able to kill one. One must be careful. Chen

Lventually he developed an impediment崗ness in his temples and died.”All these [records] may serve as warnings against an ingestion of cinnabar/elixirs. But then Zhou Miin his y# zhas recorded the following. “A prefectural judge ZhouinLin chuan had been of frail health 沁 his ife.

During the heating, ashes flying to the top of the cauldron are called “mercury powder A popular name is “mercury ashes. They are best suited to eliminate lice. [Su] Gong: Mercury originates in cinnabar, and this is always stimulated by heat qi.Jhave never heard that it is spontaneously released from the abdomen of cinnabar. ITo obtain it through asublimation caused by heating [ctinnabar] with fire, such amethod is understood by everyone. Ihe South-
erners obtain it by steaming [cinnabar]. Ihe mercury obtained this way is of smal amounts,but the cinnabar is not affected negatively except for asligpht change of its colortoward black.[Su] Song: Nowadays, [mercury] originates in Qin zhou, Shang
Zhou, Dao zhou and Shao wu jun. Ihat from Qin zhou comes from the border regionofXiqiang. Ihe lmercury] said by the Classic to originate in cinnabar [is obtained as follows|. First collect coarse cinnabar from within mountain rocks. Build afurnace and place the cinnabar into it with water as areceptacle underneath. On top [of the furnace] place a basin turned upside down,and outside this implement
ligphtafre to haveit calcined. Ihis will cause fumes to rise,Wwhile the mercury glides down. Its color is slightly white and turbid. Mr Tao [Hongjing」speaks of aseparate [variation of mercury of] greenish-white color originating in sandy ground, but nowadays this has not been heard of. Ihe Xi qiang people also state that they obtain [mercury] by heating it this way. But there is very much [ceinnabar] in their mountains. When one of these mountains cracks by itself, the people go there to collect cinnabar rocks. Ihese are always big pieces,like avy2ezg or Z2z measure. Ihey break them to pieces that can then be heated and calcined. Hence mercury entering [China] comes mostly from the West rather than from the South. Ihe method to
obtain “herb mercury is as follows. Dry purslane with fine leaves in the sun. Out Of ten 有 zz one can obtain ceight Zoe or ten Zoe of mercury First pound them With avo22o7z.7z227z7cz wood mallet. Ihen dry them on arack facing the sun.

near that sea and dig out tens of pits or wells. Ihen they let healthy men ride their horses, all of them plated With thin gold foils, close to the_ margin of the [mercu-
ry] sea. luminated by the sun, the gold shine is dazzling. As aresult the mercury boils to bubbling and approaches [the horses and their riders] like a wave, as if it
intended to glue and wrap them. Iheriders then quickly let their horses return and the mercury follows them. 本 也 ey were to move slowly riders and horses would be extinguished. When riders and horses move quickly, the force of the mercury decreases the further it has moved away [from the sea]. 上Eventually it comes across the pits and moats and glides down into them to collect there. Ihen [the peoplel rermoveitandsimmerittogether With fragrant herbs to generate “flower silver. his is different from the [mercury] produced in China. IJhis saying seems to agree With what Mr ITao [Hongjing] says about [mercury] originating in asandy ground.Also, it agrees With Chen Cangqis statement:“ When humans ingest mercury and they suffer from cramps and contraction, the only way [to cure them」is to roast some
gold item and press it hot lon the affected regionj. Ihis will cause the mercury to come outand erode the gold.”Ihe fact is,in the outer foreign regions there is much cinnabar and it flows naturally and turns into mercury [Mercury] is not obtained solely by arefinement ofcinnabar with heat. Ihis is true. Hu Yanin his 7z7z ))z2 77z7 7zcz states: ”Ihe method to obtain mercury out of cinnabar is as follows. 上 訓 aporcelain bottle with any amount of cinnabar and closely seal its opening with paper Then boilitinadecoction of aromatic [herbs] for one day and one night, remove [the cinnabar from the bottle] and give it into a cauldron of [two compartments, one for] water [above] and [one for] fire [below]. Stuff the opening [of the caul-
dronj with charcoaland frmly coveritwith an iron plate. Dig ahole in the ground and place abowl filled With_ waterin it,place the cauldron with its iron plate cover on top of thebowl [with the water] and tightly close the seams with salt mud. Ihen calcine it on all four sides with fire,and remove [the cauldron] after it has cooled
down again. Ihe mercury will have flowed into the bowlby itself. Ihe removal with heat [of mercury] from the region of mountain streams and caves of Yong Zhou is Very casy. A kettle is 和illed with ioo /zzzgy and the kettle is designed in the shape of a pig bladder. Jt is enclosed by pasting several layers of thick paper around it lest any [of its contents] leak during storage.Tf any [mercury] is spilled on the ground, it can only be collected with Sichuan pepper powder or tea leaves powder. Another methodis to attract and raise it with genuine gold and arsenolite. [Chen] Jiamo: CCinnabar husks remaining after mercury is removed are called “heavens flow It can serve to prepare_[elixirs] for transformations [to hermits/immortals.

Explication. [Tao] Hongjing: [When smelted and transformed,] it returns to the
State of cinnabar-elixir, is based on the classics of hermits/immortals. Ingested mixed with wine and dried in the sun it extends ones life.[Zhen] Quan: Mercury
is very poisonous.Itis aliquid inside of cinnabar. It is the primordial mother of a return to the state of cinnabar-elixir 一 a pharmaceutical substance [transforming one] to an hermit/immortal who will never die. Jt is able to make, through arefinement with heat, the flve metals succurmb as aimud. 5z22z 2z: When cinnabar is
heated it becomes mercury. Jhrough combined changes it can be made to cinnabar again, and this distances it greatly from herbs and woods. Hence it is able to extend human life. Gold and mercury in the nine orifilces of a dead person will prevent its decomposition. How much more is this true for [living persons] who ingest it for food?! [Chen] Cangqdi: When mercury enters ones ears it wi eat away this persons entire brain. Whenitenters his flesh it wi letall his sinews contract and shrink. It turns theyin |[qil upside down and cuts of the flow of yang [gq].When people suffer from sores and 7ze訓ness, they often apply mercury [to the affected regionj]. 6s nature is smooth and heavy and hence it moves straight into the fiesh.Tt should be applied only with great care. Itmust not be used for treating sores on the head lest it enter the conduits and network [vessels] and inevitably relax sinews and bones 一
[problems」 none of the hundreds of medications are able to cure. [Kou] Zongshi:
When mercury is added to medication, this is always based on some well-defined method. But utrmost circumspection is required nevertheless because of its poison. When womeningestmuch ofibitwill interrupt their [ability to become] pregnant. When nowadays mercury is heated to generate cinnabar physicians who are not entirely familiar With it may make mistakes in its [therapeuttc] application. One must be very careful. Han Yu of the Tang dynasty states: “Li Gan,ascholar at the Imperial Academy met with Liu Mi, an expert of [longevity] recipes. He [claimed
to be] able to heat mercury and prepare a pharmaceutical substance for eternal life.

He flled acauldron with lead. left an empty space in its center and filleditin with mercury. Ihen he sealediton all four sides and heated it to prepare cinnabar. When [Li Gan] ingested it he discharged blood. Within four years his disease turned
ecver more acute. Eventually he died.Thave no idea where the talk about ingesting [cinnabar] for food may have come from. It has killed innumerable people, and yet more and more people like it. Ihey are truly deluded. Ihe records in books and what they hear about [such unfortunate outcomes] are not discussed.Thave been a
personal eyewitness.Jhave travelled to six or seven men who had been destroyed by such medication. Ihey should serve as a warning for everyone. Gui Dengy, Minister of Public Works, himself told of how he ingested mercury and fell 過. It was as if a hotiron canec had pierced him from the top of his head down.Tt broke in parts and caused afire which eventually shotout of his oriflces. He feltamaddening pain and screamed and was unable to weep. Mercury was found on his mat. Outbreaks [of his disease] alternated with periods of remission. For tens of years he spit saliva with blooduntil eventually he died. Li 入uzhong, Palace Censop had an impediment-ness34 that broke out on his back,and he died. Li
和Xun, Minister of Justice, told me:
Tmistakenly took[cinnabar] as amedication. Ihen hedied.LiJian,Vice-Minister
ofJustice,died one morning without having been 記 . MengJitan, Minister of Commerce,invited me to Wan zhou and secretly informed me: have acquiredasecret medication. Tt is impossible thatTam the only one to gain eternal life. Here now give you one package, and you may use date pulp to prepare pills and ingest them. The next year he fell 山 . Later someone came and told me about this. He said: ”Ihe medication [you] ingested some time ago was 訓 usionary Here is arecipe to discharge it. Onceitis discharged, health will be restored. [MengJlan] died two years after he had fallen 崗 . Lu Tan, military commissioner in Dong chuan, discharged blood with his urine, and suffered from unbearable pain in his fiesh. Eventually he died. Li Daogu, General of 本 nm wu, was accused because of [his dealings] With Liu Mi. He ate asecretmedication and died, aged 54, at sea. Ai these cases should
serve as Warnings.[A saying is:| When someone shielded from death soon dies, this is called Wit! Is this possible? Ihe five types of grain and the three types of dormestic animals, salt and vinegap fruits and vegetables, they keep humans goingNowadays, there are those who are misled, and they say: Ihe filve types of grain let humans die young. Ihe three types of domestic animals kill humans. Iheir intake must be decreased. Ihis way from an ordinary banquet, two or three elements out of ten are strictly forbidden. [Such persons] do not believe in the eternal WAY,
and rather are engaged in demonic oddities. Only when they are close to dyingy 394 zz7z I24.

they regret their doings. Fans [of such doings] surviving them say: ”Ihat they died is simply because they did not follow the right WAY.JTam different. When [the clixir] causes first reactions they say: “Ihis reaction is amedicinal effect on my discases. Once the diseases are eliminated, and the medication works,ITwill not have
to die. Only when they are about to die, they regret. Alas! Ihis is truly saddeningr [Li] Shizhen: Mercury is the essence of utmost yinmy it is endowed with anature of
sinking and adhering. Whenitis exposedtoafre for calcination and reflnement, it fies upward and undergoes miraculous changes.Whenitis exposed to the steaming qi of humans, it centers their bones and pierces through their sinews. It cuts off the flow of yang [qi] and erodes the brain. Among all the items with yin poison, there
is nothing that comes close to it. Still, Da Ming says it is nonpoisonous. Ihe 527 7 says ingesting it foralong time lets one becomeadivine immortal. /hen Quan says it is the primordial mother ofareturn to the cinnabar-clixir. And the 2z22z/ 27 identifles it as a medication to extend life. Ihose who since the six dynasties have been hungry forlife and have ingested [such elixirs] for food, who were disabled as
aresult and eventually died, no one knows how many people these were. Of course, the experts of [immortality] recipes lack knowledge of the WAY, but how can it
be that 2/zz czo works include such absurd sayings! Miercury cannot be ingested for food, but its therapeutic effects must not be hidden. Cinnabar brought together with black lead and congealed to sand presses down phlegm and saliva. Cinnabar brought together with sulphur and congealed to sand offers emergency rescue from serious diseases. Ihese are soldiers flexibly responding to changing requirements. When using them it is essential to get to the heart of the matter and to grasp the key to the problem at hand. For further details, see under lead acetate (o8-II) and
“miraculous sand (o9-o6).

[Kou] Zongshi: Calomelis an often used medication to discharge sa-
lva from the diaphragm and waves of saliva together with convulsions of children. Howevep it must not be ingested regularly or in excessive dosages. loo much is harmful to a person.Tf [achildj in addition suffers from fright [aa treatment With
calomellis risky. One must carefully considerit. Ihe fact is,fright is an insufciency ofheart di. Ihey mustnotbe discharged even furtherTf there is such adischarge,an inner depletion results. he fright qi will enter the heart and [the resulting diseasel] cannot be cured. For persons who have a depletion already this [treatment With
calomel] is even more forbidden. Extreme caution is required. Liu Wansu: Calomel can harm the teeth. Ihe fact is, the upper and the lower teeth are associated
with the hand and foot yang brilliance conduits. When poison qi has affected the intestines and the stomach, and if the essence spirit, di and blood, and water and grain [of that person] are unable to overcome the poison, then the poison will foT-
low these conduits and move upward. When it has reached the teeth this powdep tender and delicate as it is, will cause their destruction. [Li] Shizhen: Mercury is a
poisonous item of extreme yin [quality]. Itis aproduct of a calcination of cinna~ bar with filre. Ihrough a heat reinement With salt and alum it turns into calomeL When sulphur is added anditis made to rise it becomes vermilion. It is light and fies and undergoes miraculous changes.It transforms [asubstance of ] pure yin toa dry and violent [substance]. Tts nature is to run and not to be stationary It is good at climinating phlegm and saliva, and at dissolving accumulations and stagnations. Hence itremoves water swelling and wind phlegm,moisture with heat and malign sores. [It ends] saliva coming out of the teeth and gums, quickly opens thickets of
evil[qi|, and associated inesses will be cured, too. Tit is ingested in an overdose,
or not according to the correct method, the poison qi will be steamed and scurries into the conduits and network [vesselsj, the sinews and the bones, from where they
Will never come out again. When phlegm and saliva are gone and the blood liquid is lost, the sinews lose their nourishment, and the camp and guardian qi no longer
437
C//z27/e/ 9
follow [their paths]. Changes to sineWw contraction and aching bones ensue, and this leads to outbreaks of obstruction-ilness457 swelling, oz7z-ness4' and leakage. In some cases [patients suffer from] chapped hands and feet, zz7z-ness45? caused
by bugs/worms, persistent blockage, continuing for years and months until eventually disablement and an obstinacy~ilness45 result. IThe harm is infinite. I]t has been observed when specialists of preparing [longevity] clixirs apply a heat refinement With sublimation involving mercury and calomel, if the pots and vessels used are nottightly sealed iron and stone [implements] will be moved and penetrated.How much more should this apply to sinews and bones,skin and flesh of humansP Chen Wenzhong says: “Calomel serves to discharge phlegm and it hurts the heart di. It must not be used lightly to cure children. Tt harms the spleen and destroys yang [qi] and inevitably causes changes to further signs ofillness. Newborns in particular require caution." On the other hand, Mr Yanshan says: As long as achild is in the uterus it receives theqiof heat poison of beverages and food consumed by its mother[lhese qi]j accumulate in its chestand diaphragm region and this is why 沁 [chidren] after birth develop fright.It is advisable within three days to give them Co7Z |rhizome] to eliminate the heat and calomel to disperse the poison,and also to give
them adecoctionofginseng [rootj,cinnabarand honeyto resolve [heat poison]j and
cool heartand lung. Poison accumulations will be transformed and the child will be spared such suffering.”Ihese two statements differ;each of them is based onits own perspective. One says thatif [achild] is not affected by fetal poison, [calomelj must
notbe ingestedlightly Iheothersays thatif [achild] is affected by fetal poison,it is advisable to prevent [later suffering and by means of calomell resolve this [poisoml」. Jhose who apply [calomelj should carefully examine [each case individually.

The 殉 7 zz7z7)7z21ists an ancient recipe With Mr Cuis method of generating merCury frost. It states: “Boil ten Zoe of mercury and ten /z7ze of sulphur separately in two cookpots. After quite a long time when the mercury has got hot and the sulphur has dissolved, quickly pour them into one separate cookpot. If this were done slowly they would not penetrate each other. Ihen stir [the mixture] forcefully and after along time the sulphur will have become ashes,and the mercury will no longer be visible. Ihen add ten /zzce of hidden dragons liver (soil from ahearth) and one /zz7ze of salt powder and stir this. Also, place one /zz of salt powder on the
bottom of another cookpot, place the medication on top of it and give one
zz of
salt powder on top [of the medication]. Close [the cookpotj with apottery pot and
seal the seams With salt mud. Calcine this with a charcoal filre for one day and one night.[Ihe filre] should be slow at the beginning and strong later on. Eventually, open the potand scrape of [the sublimated,purifled calomelfrom its bottom]. Ihis is the first of several processes to be completed. Latep divide the original [calomel soill into four parts. Mix one part With the [sublimated, refined] calomel add two

powder and apply the same sublimation method to this mixture as before. Altogethep this process is to be carried out four times. Once the [calomel] soil is used
up, use new [calomell soiL Procede like this seven times. Ihis then will result in a [sublimated, purifled] calomel that is ready to be used.” Ihis method was known to

ollected Explanations. 5zz /Z: Realgar grows in the mountain valleys of Wu du, and on the yang side of Mount Dun huang. It is collected anytime. [Tao] HongJing: Wu du is the region of the Di and the Qiang [people]-[Ihe place where it occurs] is Chou chi. Jhere is also [realgar] in Dang chang, but of low occurrence
andinferior quality Dun huang les several thousand miles west of Liang Zhou,and there was turmoil there recently So it is aways the good quality of realgar from Shi men and from Shi xing 了 at is resorted to. Good realgar from Liang Zhou is red likeacocks comb; it has no odor and is hard and solid. Dark and black specimens as Well as those that are hollow and pliable, they are not good. [Su] Gong: [Realgar] from Dang chang and Wu du is excellent. These are rectangular pieces of sevVeral 人 z7z. Ihey are as lustrous as a cocks comb. Some people use them as pillows; ingesting them serves to ward of the malign. Greenish, black and hard specimens are not added to medication. During the >2ezz ozz7z Teign period (627 一 649), in
Dang Zhou apiece of several c27 was discovered. But it was heavy and brittle and could not be transported in one piece. [Zhangj Yuxi: he 52z/7.7zzge Z2z states: “The
[river」 Yellow Water springs in the North-West of Ling ling xian. It combines the mountain streams of Mount Wu shan, and the realgar brought forth by it is of a divinely special nature.[Ihe peoplej there perform sacriflcial rituals in winter. hen
they dig holes into the stones/rocks several %2z7ze deep where they obtain it. Hence it is named after the mountain stream waters. Also, the 52z22z >7 states: “Realgar should be the one brought forth by the mountains of Wu du. lt is pure and has no faws.Whenits redness is thatofacocks combybrilliant and lustrous, then it can be
used. 玫 itis of purely yellow colop reminiscent of orpiment,and does not shiney, it is not suited for preparing hermit/immortal medication. Jt may be combined with medication serving to cure diseases. [Su] Song: Nowadays [realgar] occurs in the mountains ofJie Zhou the ancient Wu du.Ttappears in pieces like cinnabar. Tts lusteris different from [ordinary] stones/minerals,and those pieces with the color ofa
cocks comb are genuine. hose that are hard and of a greenish, black colorp they are named “fumes yellow”Ihose that from their physical appearance resemble genuine [realgar] but have an odorous di, tey are called“odorous yellow.”Neither of these must be used for ingestion as food; they only serve to heal sores and 7ze-ilness. he odor can be completely eliminated by washing them with vinegar. With this it is even more necessary to distinguish them from genuine [realgar]. Also, where Jie Zhou borders on the territoryof the Xi Rong,a” water cave realgar is brought forth. It grows in the cliffs where water Hows from within the mountains. Such stones/
46o
7/2e 7z7/ Cdz2 Gd7zg 47z
minerals are called greenish smoke stones/minerals, and “white freshness stones/ minerals.”Ihe realgar brought forth there comes in big pieces the size of walnuts and in small pieces the size of millet seeds. Ihere are holes on their surface and their coloris deep red and slightly purple. Iheir physicalbody is extremely lightand holTlow and their [therapeutic] potential is superior. Ihe experts operating [longevity] elixir furnaces value them highly [Li] Shizhen: he people in the North use realgar from Wu du as a substitute for cinnabar. 了Howevep when it is ground to afne lpowder] its color has some yellow. Jhe 7z7zz 包 7ze7Z7z )zz27z states: After rooo years,
realgar transforms to yellow gold. Ihat from Wu foreign ]ands is of secondary quality Ihose with with the color of jacocks comb are of secondary iron with the sediments generated by [a mixture
du is best; that from the Western the color of iron are best, [those quality. Tone rubs the surface of in water of realgar and] mercury
and ithenayellow coating appears [ontheironmj,this is genuine ware. 選 lsewhereit
is stated:【[Whetherit is fake or genuine] can be tested by [heating it and] exposing worms/bugs [to its fumes]j. When they die, it is genuine [realgar]. [Realgar] that
when finely chewed with its juice held in the mouth fails to develop an odor and has no peppery fiavop is of secondary quality [Lei| 入iao: Whenever [realgar] is to beapplied lin medical therapy]|, the following variations must not be used. Odorous

Enclosing grease yellow [realgar]j, With one layer yellow |realgar] and one layer stone/rock. None of them is suitable for [therapeutic] usage. [Realgar] With acolor reminiscent of that of the Chinese francolin is best.

Explication.[Iao] Hongjing: According to the 5zz.7Zzo the five differently colored kinds of halloysite are similar in their curative [potential] and physical substance.
The 5zz 及 has devoted a separate entry to each of them. Nowadays only the two kinds of red and white halloysite are used for ending discharge with free-flux 山 ness. 史 [Zhang] Yuansu: Red and white halloysite are both sweet, sour and yin in yang. hey solidify what is affected by evanescence. [Li] Gao: It sinks. Itis yin in yang.Ithas two usages.[Firsbj With its ability to gather and collecty it solidifies the intestines and the stomach. [Second,] it serves to discharge the placenta without
pushingitoutthe hard way [Wang] Haogu: With its ability to roughen |[a passage」 it eliminates emanescences. Halloysite is a [therapeutic] preparation that gathers and collects. Red [halloysite] enters the heart; white [halloysite] enters the lung[LI] Shizhen: All the five kinds of halloysite are medications associated with the
handand footyang brilliiance [conduits]. Iheir flavoris sweet,and theirqiare warm. Their physical substance is heavy and their nature is roughening.As they are roughening and heavy they are able to gather moisture, to stop bleeding and to solidify where there is discharge.As they are sweet and warm, they are able to boost the qu generate muscles and regulate the center. Ihe “center' comprises the intestines, the stormach and fesby fright palpitation and jaundice. “Discharge is intestinal fush and outflow with free-fux 訓 ness,collapsing belt?4 and loss of essence/semen. Controlloverillness] and curative [potentiall of the five kinds [of halloysite] are identi-
cal. Hence the 5e7.7/7zoe has not devoted separate entries to them. All it states is that they serve to supplement one of the five long-term depots in accordance with their [correspondingj color Ihe 2z 和 懇 treats the five kinds [of halloysite] separately but in terms of their nature,flavop controland curative [potential]l they are not far apart
from each other Ihe only difference lies in the association of the five substances 533 了 7 ,“free-flux 痢 illness,”a diarrhea-type ailment.BCGM DictL3rr.

peach blossoms. Itis shiny and glossy and heavy' Tts appearance is easy on the eyes. [Su] Song: Nowadays it occurs in 入in zhou. Jhe physical appearance of its pieces is similar to that ofred stone fat,and of fluor spar. It is collected anytime. Tao Hongjing says: Red stone fat oripinatesin Yiyang and is shapedlike the brain of apiglet, with alovely fresh red color. Su Gong contradicts him, stating: Ihese are“peach blossom stones. Ingested over along time they let one become fat. Nowadays, the locals use them for healing free-fux 過 ness.39 Iheir [therapeutic] potentials are not far apart from each other [Kou] Zongshi. Peach blossom stone occurs in two kinds,
red and white. Jhere are those with ared ground and pale-white dots resembling 539 了7 痢 ,“free-flux illness,”a diarrhea-type ailment.BCGM DictL3rr.

peach blossom petals. And there are those with a pale white ground and black dots resembling peach blossom petals. Ihe people often use them to carve and rub utensils, but occasionally they are also ingested by the people. [Li| Shizhen: Ihis is red and white stone fat that does not stick to the tongue. It is hard and has dots like blossoms.Ttis not an item different from red halloysite. Hence its qi and flavor and [therapeutic] potential are identical to those of halloysite. In antiquity Zhang hongjing cured free-fHux 過 ness with red halloysite and named it peach blossom decoction.” The 7 去 及 zoo [recommends to] cure free-fHux 名 ness caused by cold with the pills with peach blossoms. All these are the item discussed here.

ollected Explanations. [Li| Shizhen: Locations to prepare calamine are found
everywhere at the mines and foundries, most often in Chuan shu and 入iang dongThat from Tai yuan,Ze zhou Yang chengy, Gao ping Ling qiu, Yong xian and Yun nan is best. It is the outcrop of gold and silver. Ihe size of its pieces varies. Ihey are shaped like asheep brain,and softlike halloysite. Ihey too, stick to the tongue. Those kinds originating in gold pits are of aslightly yellow color. Ihey are the best. Ihose kinds originating in silver pits are of white colop sometimes with some greenish or green traces, or pink. When they are brought together with red coppep they change to assume a yellow color Iodays yellow copper is always atransformation by means of an alchemical processing of these items. Ihe Zz2 2zz 227 277 states: “When calamine is exposed to the q of yellow gold and white silver in a potteryjar for3o years,it will become [a divine medication]. Soaked in manure and heated With arsenic it is transformed |to amedication] that is not inferior to the three [substances realgap orpimentand sulphur that have in their names the char-
acterj] yellow. Cui Fang in his 77772727 cd2 states: “When one 7Zzz of copper and one 7zz of calamine are refined with heat, they become one 7-zz and a half of brass. Then, [brass] is not an item obtained from Within rocks? Genuine brass grows in
Po si (Persia). It looks like yellow gold. When heated it turns red,not black.

Song: Nowadays it is present everywhere in the mountain rocks of Gruang Zhou and on Mount Long ji eight Zsouth of Yi zhou. Ttis of black-brown color. Large pieces are of the size of bullets; small ones are of the size of ink pebbles. Ihey are collected anytime. [Lei] Xiao: Ihe physical appearance of pyrolusite resembles that of coal, but the favor is different. [Li|] Shizhen: [Pyrolusite] grows deep in the
mountains of Chuan and uuang,and there is especially much in Guilin.One location encompasses several hundred pieces; these are small, black pebbles. Ihey look like limonite, but are black.

[Wu] Pu: Ihey develop below the cliffs at shady places in the valleys of Mount Tai shan. Ihey are formed by dripping Juice similar to milk juice. Ihey are of yellow-white color and hollow inside. Ihey are collected in the second and third months,to be dried in the shade. [Tao] Hongjing: Ihe number one [quality of stalactites] originates in Shi xing, but they are presentalso inJianglng andin the stone caverns of the famous mountains in the 上 ast. Only those are good that are as hollow light and thin as goose feather qu 負 s, 了 at are as brittle as claws, have no wild geese teeth[-like surface] inside,
and that are shiny Long ones reach alength of one to two c2z. hey are of yellow color and when they are washed with wine and scrubbed, they turn white. Ihey are rarely resorted to in the classics of the hermits/immortals, but they are highly valuedin commonrecipes.[Suj] Gong: Numberone [quality originates in] Shi xingJhose of secondary [quality] originate in Guangy Lian, Li, Lang and Chen. Ihey are thick, but they are of alovely glossiness and can all be ingested. Ihose nowadays originating in the three caves of 入ia zhou, Qing xi and Fang Zhou are inferior to those from Shixing. All the others that do not come from these regions must not be ingestedlightly Ihey often cause dripping [urine] and thirst. All that is possible is to pound them through asieve and wrap them in white silk. Jhis is then soaked togetherwith all types ofmedication herbs in wine,and [the wine] is then ingested.
When Tao [Hongjing] states that [stalactites] reach alength of one to two 2z, he is wrong.[Sun] Simiao: Stalactites must [come from the right] place, they must be
clear white and of orcicada wings.If that do not [come ingested. Ihey are

oping in deep caves and dark holes the following applies. Ihese are locations where dragons and snakes lie hidden and they may be affected by poison qi of dragons and snakes or by an unbalanced presence ofyin andyang[qi] at the opening ofacave, or byawind draughtpassing through.Iheymayberough like wild goose teeth,orthey are yellow or red, and the milk [stone」 lacks glossiness, or after being reflned over

fire their color may be unequal. ]f after a first boiling the water is not exchanged, fire poison is generated and when ingested lets one have dripping [urine]. Also there are three kinds of stalactites.[First] “stone teat”stalactites.[Ihey develop where there are only stones in mountain caves and [the “stone teats ] are nourished
by the fuids of these stones.[ Stone teat ”stalactites] are alternately equipped with yin and yang [gqi] and have aline design like cicada wings. ITheir nature is warm. [Second,]“bamboo teat”stalactites. When small bamboo grows all over in mountain caves[the“bamboo teat stalactites] are nourished by the filuid of these bamboo
growths. Ihese stalactites are shaped like bamboo. Iheir nature is balanced.[IhirdJ| the“spear mountain teat”stalactites.[Ihey develop」 where on mountains soil and
stones are interspersed, and zz/eyzzz herbs grow everywhere. Ihese stalactites are nourished bythe fiuid of zzz2eyzzz herb. Jheir coloris slightly black and glossy. Jheir nature is shightly cold. Within each of these kinds there are top,middle and inferior color grades. All [stalactites] with a glossy appearance are good. Ihere are claims that[stalactites] are presentin other places,too,but theymustnot be trusted lightly
[iao] Bing: Ihose [with astructure] resembling cicada wings are best. Ihose [with
astructure] reminiscent of claws and nails are of secondary rank. Ihose resembling goose feather quills are of low rank. hose that are shiny white and thin can be ingested.[Su] Song Nowadays [stalactites] are found in
五ang hua xian of Dao zhouy
and in themountainsofLian,Ying,Shao,Jle andX 入ia. hey develop inyin/shady 1ocations in rock caves and are formed byliquids dripping in the mountains. Ihey are hollow inside and their length reaches six to seven 《z#7z. Ihey are shaped like goose feather quills,and their color is white to slightly red. Ihe Tang writer Li Buque in his 了 27 7./ states: Stalactites obtained from Shao zhou,no matter whether they are thick or thin,as long as their coloris shiny clean and glossy they are suitable for arefinement. Only those of the two colors yellow and red are not suitable for such applications." Liu Zongyuan too in his writings states: “The only criterion that counts is their colory [their quality] doesnot dependonthesoil[ltheyoriginate in
Thatis, the value of this medication lies solely in its shiny white [color]- It is wrong that there are numerous kinds,as the statements quoted above suggest. IToday's physicians consider only those as best that resemble goose feather quills and are hollow Also, the 257.7zzein its section “middle rank sts yzzz zz (o9-23) stating: “Tt is the root of stalactites. 太 27zg go7zg 7ZzZe (o9-22) is the root of )Z7z 7

When youlook upward you see locations where stone veins protrude. Ihese are the teat beds. Ihey are as white as jade and snowand they are formed by theliquids of melting stones. Ihe teat beds hang down from above like numerous inverted peaks of small mountains. he tips of these peaks are gradually pointed and longy like icicles. he tipsofthe columns are thin and hollow like goose feather quills. Ihe water from these teats drips continuously and parts of it drop down,others congeal. Ihese are the filnest stalactites. Ihey are removed by reaching up with a bamboo tube to take hold of them. Experts in refining with heat [substances to produce longevity clixirs] consider those to be the best that resemble goose feather quills and are as heghtand shiny Hike muscovite and claws.

Herbs and trees rely on the soil they grow in tmhey may exist on the yin/shady or yang/sSunny side of mountains, either close to trees or adjacent to rocks, and their nature differs accordingly 了How much more does this apply to stalactites that directly develop from stones.Whether these stones are filne orrough,porous or dense,and What their diferent sizes are,Wwhether the caves are located above or below whether
the soilis thick or thin, and what heights the stones have reached, 3 this is unknown,anditis therefore that [the stalactites] that develop relying on these [differ-
cnt facets] are not of one identical nature. Ihat is, those originating in fine and dense [stonesj, they may be oily and cleap shiny and lustrous. heir apertures are smooth and their muscles are fine. Ihose who eat them will appear flourishing, gentle and soft. heir qq wil flowsmoothly Ihey will generate stomach |qi] and the passage through their intestines w 記 remain open. Ihey will enjoy a healthy and peaceful long ife. [Stalactites hanging] down from rough and porous [stones] appearlike hasty unsmooth congregations. Some are big, some are small. Iheir color is that of withered bones, sometimes reminding one of dead ashes, submerged and haggard, unable to open up again. heir surface is like athicket of assembled teeth. Theyare heavy turbid andresemble uncutjade. Ihose who eatthem will be disabled and obstructed. Jhey will have their fire let out and generate winds. In their throat [those whohave ingested themj will feelastabbingsensationin theirlung theyw 註 feelan itch. hey will be dull and lose their faculty of hearing. Ihey will be affected byheartunrestandatendencytoanger Iheirliver di will be raised and indomitable. TJhey cannot live in peace and harmony. Hence, when the gentleman carefully selects [stalactites] on the basis of their colors beauty rather than solely trusting the
soil [they originate in]j, he searches for the most exquisite specimens, and this is
because of these [facts]. [Zhu] Zhenheng: Stalactites are filerce and violent prepa-
rations. The We7.ZZzzg states: “”Ihe qi of mineral drugs are fierce.”Jhis is amost reliable statementt! All medications with unilaterally pronounced qi must be used only temporarily not for a long time. Now
[the qi of] mineral drugs are particularly
unilaterally pronounced. Since the long-lasting era of great peace during the Tang times, families able to afford rich food are misled by sayings of recipe masters that to eat [such medication」 for food will guarantee a long life. A tradition became
popular to assume that the dense physical body of mineral drugs also meant densityoftheir di[Ihis tradition] has continued through the Songand has not ended to

this day. How could the people be blamed? Ihey meet the disaster resulting from the filerceness of these qiy and there is no way to rescue them. So sad! Ihe 8e7 cz2 praises their potential of “extending the years [of life] by ingesting them over long periods of time, "and Liu Zihou follows [the 5ez czo] and relates how much he is
pleased by them. Hence Thad to make this encompassing statement here. [L廬 Shizhen: Stalactites are amedication for the di section of the yang brilliance con~duits. Iheir qi are filerce and swift they cause a sudden surge of yang di. [Persons ingesting them」will increase their intake of beverages and food, and their physical appearance will be strong and vigorous. When people without understanding ob~tain such results, they will congratulate themselves. Iheir lust is boosted and their licentiousness will be excessive. Ihis damages their own hidden supplies of essence dib and eventually they solely have to rely onthe qiofthe stalactites,Wwith their yang di alone faming up ever stronger. After along time, their camp and guardian qi no longerfollow. Ihey develop dripping [urine] and thirst,and this changes to obstruc-
tion記 ness and impediment-illness.補 ]s this the fault of stalactitesP Or was it not called for by these people themselves》 Whenever someone experiences a weakness of yang brilliance qi and resorts to this [drug] together with 粘 types of further medication to relieve him of this weakness, and when he ends the [therapy] once
the disease is cured, why should this not be allowed? When one is addicted to any of the flve types of grain or filve types of meat without restraint, this, too, Will result
in harm caused by onesidedness,and howmuch moreis this true formineral drugs5! The Z2o7e zz states: “Whenasmall amount of stalactite powder is given into the hole in the ground where fruit trees are planted, and [this hole] is then tightly closed, [the tree] will bear many fruits and their filavor will be delicious. Ifasmall
amount is inserted into the bark of the roots of old trees, 了hese trees will flourish
again. This is true,and sayings that stalactites boost the di andletone have children may be inferred from this.Howevepitis to be feared that those whobecome addicted to [stalactites to increase their] lust rather than enjoy their benefits will first experience their disastrous effects. St山, there are people With unusual endowments,

When he was rescued and removed [from the welll his entire body was covered by purple blisters, and he died Within several days. But [Lei| Shixian had consumed athousand dosages [of this
sarme elixir] and he never experienced any discomfort. Ihis is truly remarkabler Shen Kuain his 27 zz has the following record. Duke 入ia of Ying was aman of cxtraordinary powers and extravagant nature. His natural endowment differed from thatof ordinary people. When he fell asleep, his body became cold and stiff as if he had died. He regularly consumed zz7cz/Zzgo [rood|, stalactites and sulphur without
ecver noting down how much. Every morning he had stalactites added to his grueL Once an offcial of low rank stole [his stalactites] and consumed them. As aresult,
he developed an impedimentr-illness寢 and died.”Ihis is identical to the example of sormeone who ingested zco7z7zz/77z [accessory tuber] 4 his life and never suffered from any ailment.Shen Kua also states: “The wondrous potential of the art of medicine can be attained only by those who devote to it their innermost attention. For cxarmple, those who ingest stalactites must abstain from zz/yzc/y/o2Zey |[rhizome] for
their cntire life because zz/7zc/y/22Zer [rhizome] is able to excite [the potential of
stalactites. But it happens that the force of amedication fails to steam and then it is essential to stimulate such an excitement. Jhis is just like when there is asmall fire that w 訓 blaze only after the wind qiofabellows have agitated it.Tfafreis strong in the first place, to use a bellows, contrary to ones intentions, will result in harm. This is aprinciple in nature.Whenever medication is ingested, this [principle] is to
be observed. Also,the 527 272z7z /2z7z./z7zg states: For al people who ingest stalactites [the following applies]. When stalactites are ingested for three days, asupplementing [medication is to be ingested] the following three days. When stalactites are ingested for ten days,asupplementing [medicationis to be ingested] the following ten days. If [such persons] wish to eat to repletion, the bones of oxen, sheepy, roe-
bucks or deershould be boiled to obtain ajuice and they oughtto consume as much as theylike ofathick soup [prepared from this juice]. Jhey must not eat rice from a granary malodorous meat, and engage in sexual intercourse. A month later their essence/sperm q w 訕 abound again. Ihe hundreds of [blood] vessels will be freely

ollected Explanations. 5zz /: Dark stone/mineral grows on the yang/sunny side of Mount Tai shan. Copper occurs on the yin/shady side of the mountain. Copper is female. Iron is male.「Iao] Hongjing: In the 257 77 magnetite is also called “dark stone/mineralL The zz 及 also refers to“dark stone/mineral' With an alternative name c2z y27 處
石 , a stone/mineral that directs others.”The names [of these
substances] are identical, and their therapeutic [potential] as well as their physical body are quite similap too. Howevep they difer in their cold and warm [nature」,
and With regard to what they fear and abhor [when ingested together with] copper and iron. In recipes of common physicians,[ “dark stone/mineral ] is not used, and
there is nobody who is familiar With it.Jt is not even known whether it belongs to the same group as magnetitte,or not.[Suj Gong: Jhis item is liquid iron. Magnetite has fine holes. Ihe color inside of these holes is yellow-red. When [magnetite of good quality has just been broken open it picks up iron, and it absorbs iron. Those without holes and with a purely black gloss, they are“dark stones/minerals. They are unable to pick up [iron] and their therapeutic effects are inferior to those of magnetite. [Su] Song: Nowadays,in the foreign ]ands in the North, magnetite
serves as a gift. Its pieces are often glossy and they lack the strength to attract iron. Presumably this is dark stone/mineral Tt is rarely resorted to in medical rectpes. [Li Shizhen: Magnetite grows on the yin/shady side of mountains at places where iron occurs. Dark stone/mineral grows on the yang/sunny side of mountains at places where copper occurs. Even though their physical appearances are similarp their nature is not identical. Hence dark stone/mineral is unable to attract iron.

Grong: Jhis stone/mineral comes mostly from Dai zhou.Itis said to be collected in the mountains, not from the soil below acity gate. Nowadays,ared stone/mineral originates in Mount Ting shan in Qi zhou. Its color is red-greenish. Ihis red is similar to the red of cockscombs,anditis glossy Ihe local people gatherit to paint the columns of their halls. With its dark purple color it is similar to [hematitel originating in Dai zhou. It has been used since ancient times.Nowadays, [hematite]

[with an advice to] use hematite to cure children state that “if no genuine
|hematite] is available,it can be substituted with oyster shells with leftward spirals.
Qbviously genuine [hematite] was dificult to obtain. When physicians of today make use of it they mostly select large pieces with a surface of solid nail [head| bulges on top of it as superiop and they call it “nail head hematite.”The 57 y22z7 7Z7ze states: “JMuch beautiful hematite is found in the mountains of Shao yan.”The 及 722z7z.7Z7zg states: “Where the Guan shui [river] leaves the mountains of Shi cui,

Explication.[Wang] Haogu: Hematite enters the hand minor yin and foot ceasing yin conduits. In the case of timidity ones qi float and they are to be pressed down With something of heavy weight. Ihe weight of hematite serves to press down [dqi countermovement associated with a state of depletion.

Otherwise it gradually hardens and coagulates to something like astone that cannot be ingested. When astone/mineral is broken open there may be as much as one y2ezzge [of lidquid] inside of it or at least several sz that may be drunk at once.[Wang」] 石 : Ihe dry contents in the stone/mineraland thefine powdep they ought to be called leftover provisions.”They should not be called “yellow in the stones/minerals.” For details see the original text where the four characters not have formed leftover provisitons appear. [Li| Shizhen: “Leftover provisions is the fine powder in the stones/minerals that has coagulated. Ihe “yellow in the stones/minerals”is ahard coagulation product similar to a stone. Ihe “yellow water in the stones/minerals”is [the liquid|
that has not yet coagulated. Hence Lei 入iao states: “Use leftover provisions, do not use the yellow in the stone/mineralL”Ihat is correct.

Hongjing: Yue xi belongs to Yi zhou.Ttis no longer found in the prefectures of Yi Zhou, and the reason may be that it has not been collected there for a long time. Nowadays,[hollow malachite] originating in ITong guan has the deepest color; that
originating in Shi xing does not come close to it In 入 i ping jun of Liang Zhou, too, hollow malachite occurs in the mountains in ]arge quantities. Nowadays, 1t only [appears in pieces that are] round and solid like iron beads; there is no hollow [malachite]. Ttis always dug up and removed from within soil and rocks. Tt is used to prepare elixirs,and as such it serves to transform lead to gold. Among al mineral medications,this is the only most expensive one.Ttis rarely used in medical recipes; it mostly serves as paint. This is very sad. [Su] Gong: Where copper occurs, 和 the Various malachite minerals are found, too.QOnly hollow malachite is diffhcult to obtain. Nowadays, it originates in Wei zhou, Lan zhou,Xuan zhou and Zi zhou. Ihat from 入uan Zhou is the very best. It is available in small pieces, and often enough they are hollow. [Malachite] from Wei zhouand Lan zhou forms intensely colored,
large, Hat pieces that are not hollow. Mr Iao [Hongjing] mentions a variety of round and solid [pieces] resembling iron beads. Jhis is white malachite. Da Ming: Holow malachite pieces may be as ]arge as chicken eggs, or as small as rosary peas. Ihey are of greenish color and have a thick [shellj like the peel of litchis, and inside of them is aviscous Juice of sour-sweet favor. [Chen] Cangdqi: [Malachite] is the essence splendor of copper. Large pieces are malachite, &o7 太 空 組 (Io-Io), smaller ones are hollow malachite, &oze zzzg 空 .[Su] 青 Song: Nowadays, [a vari-
ety of malachite] is occasionally found in Rao and 入in zhou too. It is shaped like red bayberries, and hence it is called red bayberry malachite. 了Hollow spectmens that when broken open have aviscous Juice inside are extremely difhcult to obtain. [Kou] Zongshi: [Emperor] Zhen zong once issued an edict to collect [for himl]
hollow malachite With water inside. Tt took along time to obtain it. Red bayberry malachite is collected from mountatn caves in 入in zhouyit is extremely difhcult to obtain. Tt is extremely effective in the treatmentof eye shades.Sometimes it has water inside. Tts usage is identical to that of hollow malachite. Jhe quality may differ [Li] Shizhen:Zhang Gaoinhis 贅 Zoe yo7zz states: “Hollow malachite resembles

In addition there is red bayberry malachite and stone/mineral malachite. AA] these have the same physicalbody; their qi may be fine or coarse. For alchemical transformation [to longevity elixirs], lamellar malachite is best. Hollow malachite is next, followed apgain by red bayberry malachite.”The Zz2 2z/z 27 Z277 states: “When copper is endowed with the qi of purple yang it turns green. his green [substance] after 2oo years evolves into 52z 太 石

TJhat from gold mines and that from copper mines. Ihey may be as big as afist or an eggy or as small as a bean. Ihey may form fat pieces or resemble red bayberries. Even though they may differ in terms of having a fine or coarse [surface|, those containing a viscous juice are always the best.

broken open and its shape is similar to that of hollow malachite. It can be used to
transform iron to coppep and to compound gold and silver [Tao] Hongjing: Ihe classics of hermits/imrmortals occasionally make use of it andin cornmmon recipes it is [recommended] very seldom. It is an outdated medication. Ihe people today sometirmes collect it. Tts color is greenish_ to green. Tt is shaped like opaque glass With a white line design, and itis easily broken. In Liang Zhou and 入in dou it is no longer presenty and itis commonly replaced by alum of greenish colop but this is definitely something very diferent.[Su] Gong: Ihis item originates in locations Where copper is present. Tts physic和 appearance resembles that of lamellar malachite, With some green interspersed. Tts fiavor is extremely sour and bitter. When it is rubbed against iron and assumes the color of coppep it is genuine [chalcanthite」.
When thatoriginating in the Dong ting gu cave and in the 入ue ji cavein Yu qing xian of Pu zhou comes in pieces like chicken eggs,it is genuine. Ihat of which Tao [Hongjing」states that it resembles opaque glass, is prepared alum. Some people arrive here to ofer it instead [of chalcanthitej, or they soften greenish alum with
vinegar. Al these are fake products. [Su] Song: Ioday [chalcanthite] occurs only
in Qian shan xian of Xin Zhou. Tt grows in copper mines. It is collected there and processed with_boiling to prepare it [for further use]. Some of it grows naturally and is especially expensive. All [kinds] are of bluish-green color Nowadays, the
physicians in the South often apply it. Also, someone has recorded the following staterment: Chalcanthite of top quality originates in Pu zhou. Pieces may be as large as fists. Sma] pieces are of the size of walnuts or chestnuts. When they are struck, they breakinto horizontaland verticallayers,with al of them showing multiple line design. Ihey are of greenish color which changes to green when they are exposed to wind. When they are struck open, their interior is red too.[Chalcanthite of ] an
inferior quality originates in the copper mines in Shang rao and Qu jiang. Ihese are fne grains With distinct edges,or hairpin-type rice grains.According to the 2 cz2, fake [chalanthide] is prepared by softening greenish alum with vinegar. But this is not so today Ihey take coarse and bad quality chalcanthite and melt it with nitrokalite to prepare [whatis to appearlike good quality chalcanthite]. [Such fake chalcanthite appears as」 big pieces with alight color Iheir surface is muddy and lacks a

of chalcanthite. Ihey process [the mineral by heating it| with water to which they add nitrokalite.When this coagulates it attaches itself [to the walls of the crucible」.
[Li] Shizhen: Chalcanthite originates in mountain caves in Pu zhou. Ihat colored

Ihat from 入in Zhou is even more inferior his item _grows onrocks. Ihatwhich is refined with heat and boiling is often fake. But when it turns into ajuice when heated With _fire,it is definitely fake.Whenitis applied to iron and copperand turns red when heated,it is genuine. Also,[to test whetheritis fake or genuine] fl acoppervessel with water and give a small amount [of theitem in question] into it. Ifit does not assume agreenish-blu-

Tt grows in said: Grrey arsenolite grows Hongjing: In old records it
/: Independently growing arsenolite is also named the western regions and is collected anyttime. Tt is also in the western regions; it is collected anytime. [Tao] is said that [arsenolite recovered] from the nests of
storks is fine. Storks often enter cold water. Hence theypick up [arsenolite] to cover
and heat their eggs. Nowadays [arsenolite from the nests of storks] is no longer available. It solely originates in Han zhong.

reference to aphysical appearance of atooth-like indenture is correct. Nowadays, it is also found in Liang Zhou andin the ravine adjacent to the garrison of northern Ma dao. Ihese are pieces that are smaller than white arsenolite. But the [crysta]]
pgralins pervading it like muscles are several times biggep like small beans, while the [crystal] grains of white arsenolite are as filne as millet. Nowadays, [independently groWwing arsenolite] of greenish color occurs at the same locations as white arseno~ lite in Fang lingy, Han chuan,Jun zhou andJJng zhou. [Kou] Zongshi: Ihe 52 27 says: “When storks hatch their eggs they pick arsenolite and bring them into their nests to support their own warmth. Recipe experts accept only such arsenolite as genuine. From Mr Tao [Hongjings] comment on independently growing arsenolite it is clear that the two arsenolite kinds |「i. e.,independently growing and not independently growing arsenolite] are in fact one identical item. Howevep the nests of storks have been searched time and again, and such arsenolite was never found. Also,if arsenolite were available from these [nests],should itnot be available every-
where? Nowy if storks pick up these stones/minerals because they center cold water how about such birds as cormorants? Ihey all feed in the waters and by themselves they proliferate with ample offspring. Ihese are stories told by common men. Ihere has never been an examination whether these are facts,and there has never been re-
search on their underlyingprinciples.[Li| Shizhen: Arsenolite appears in numerous kinds: white arsenolite, grey arsenolite, purple arsenolite, red skin arsenolite, peach blossom arsenolite, golden star arsenolite, silver star arsenolite, and independently
growing arsenolite 一 they al are one identical item. By their nature all of them are hotand poisonous,and they allalike can poison mice/rats and check mercury Only grey and white [arsenolite] are added to medication. All types of arsenolite grow in mountains [and on these mountains] herbs and trees do not grow and frost and snow do not accumulate. When
[arsenolite] grows in a watep this water will not
freeze. Sometimes there are warm springs that are obviously endowed with thehot qi [of arsenolite]. Ihe Gezzg x77/ )zz cc states: “Arsenolite is a yang stone/mineral It pgrows in mountain valleys and waters. Whenitis washed cleanitis similar to alum. That with horizontal line structures in the center is fine. It subdues fire and checks cinnabar and mercury ]ts shape is somewhat similar to that of the stone/minera that splits into rectangular pieces.Still whenitis tossed into water and the [water|
does not freeze, it is genuine [arsenolite]. [Arsenolite] originating in gold/metal caves is called arsenolhte that holds the snow.

Collected Explanations.[Su] Song: [Ancient] records do not specify the prefectures
and counties arsenic originates in. Today it is also found at mountain locations where copper is mined. But only [arsenic] from 入in zhou is fine. Tts pieces are very big,and their coloris that of goose egg yolk, clear and Without fiaws. Ihis is an item that is hard to obtain even at its places of origin. A piece of one /z7ze is highly valued by the people, no less than gold. Ancient recipes [recommending substances] to be ingested for food have also recordedits use.Itmust be of this quality and can then be added to medication. On the markets they sell [arsenic] in pieces resem~-
bling thin slices with soiland stone impurities.When they are added to medication and ingested [by patients」j, the harm they cause will not be minor [Chen] Cheng: QOn Mount Yu shan in 入in zhou is an arsenic wellL Tt is strictly shielded of by the authorities. [Arsenic] grows there without any stone/mineral impurities, and its
color is red, even more so than that of realgar. [Ingested] ground in cold water it resolves heat poison. [Ingested] after being exposed to fire,it will kill one.It is one of those “with a value no less than gold.”Ihose who trade [arsenic] on the markets
today take from the mountains that with stone/mineral impurities. Ihey heat it and by means of sublimation they produce a white frost. Ihese are small crumbs and needles. When the fire is excessive, the pieces will be big and slightly yellow. Ihey are those that are said to be“colored like goose egg [yolk] and clear'”In ancient recipes [arsenic of this quality] was never added to medication. It was used only by those cxperts who heat and refine it for use as clixirs. Nowadays, the people often use it to cure malaria. Howevep malaria basically is a harm caused by summerheat,and this item, as long as it is unprocessed, is capable of resolving heat poison. Todays common physicians do not investigate such underlying principles. Hence 了 When [this substance] is prepared with heat to a frost and then ingested, [patients」
inevitably will be affected by massive vomiting and discharge. Ihere are some who happily recoverafter such [atherapy],but those who will be harmedare many more.
Qne must be carefull In the beginning, when the [arsenic] frost is prepared With heat [sublimationj, the persons [engaged in this process] will take a position more
than ten 2z7zgc away in the direction where the wind comes from.In the direction where the wind blows, herbs and trees wi die. Also, they mix it With rice to poison fats/mice. Whenacatora dog eats the dead rats/mice, they will die too.

Whenitis exposed to filre itwill be poisonous immediately and must not be ingested impetuously Ihe method to obtain [arsenic yellow]: Place unprocessed arsenic above filre and cover it With a vessel. Allow the fumes to rise and to congealonce they touch thevessel|[lcover]. Ihose that hang down one next to another like tips of stalactites are the best to be added to medication. Ihose that are fat and shortare of secondary value. Large pieces are of lower quality; fine slices are oflowest grade. [Li] Shizhen: Ihis [substance] is the seedling of ttin. Hence when
newtinvessels have held wine for as long as adayitcan kilahuman,because this is thepoitson of arsenic. Raw arsenic yellow with ared color is good. Processed arsenic frost With a white color is good.

Explication.[Kou] Zongshi: Arsenic frost is used by malaria specialists. Sometimes
they overdose it and this causes vomiting and free flow at the same time. In such cases it is imperative to [let the patient] drink the juice obtained by boiling mung beans togetherwith cold water Liu Chun: Elixirs for malaria often use the verypoisonous medication arsenic frost. Ihe 25ezz cdz2says it controls all types of malaria and windphlegm in thechestand diaphragm region.Also,it can serve as an emetic. Ihe fact is, since its nature is cxtremely violent, it is quite capable of drying phlegm. But even though itcan dryphlegmy,itmassively harms the stomach di. Ihose [patients] With a spleen and stomach depletion must abstain from it. [Li|] Shizhen: Ihis is a
medication of massive heatand ofmassive poison.And the poison of arsenic frost is especially violent. When rats/mice and sparrows eat only asmall amount of it, tfhey will die immediately, When cats and dogs cat these rats/mice and sparrows, they too, wperish.

Ihe governorofHenan tried to force him [to deliver his recipe by threatening himj with severe punishment. But Lu [Zihual
resented glory and career and preferred to die rather than to give away his recipe. [Ihe preparation of this paste is a follows.] Break these[“wheat meal ]stones into
pieces as big as those used inaboard game. 了Heat them with a charcoal filre until they have turned red. Drop them into rice vinegar to let them soak there. Do this ten times. 紀 ventually grind them to apowder and pass it through afilne sieve. Give itinto a mortar and have several persons grind it for flve to seven days until it has become as fine and greasy as filour[IJhis is the main ingredient,of which] four /z7z [are required.

covered With paper lest dust might center it When itis to be used [for therapeutic purposes」j, take the paste up with a goose feather and completely cover all four and reddish sides of the swelling.Jn the center leave aregion as big as acoin free so that levill qq may be released there.If[the swelling] is without pus,it will dissolve inter-
nally. Ithere is alreadyatip [ofpus]itwill gradually decrease in size. Hithas begun to festerp the pus w 計 be pushed out like gushing water. In the case the disease has lasted for along time already with muscles and flesh having begun to rotand to fa oft, and With sinews and bones becoming visible, apply [the paste] to apiece of fine cloth that is then to be placed [on the affected regionj. Once it has dried,itis to be

and from those who are pregnant.In the beginning, wash [the affected region] and replace [the medication With a fresh application] once per day After ten days, replace [the medication] once every second day Ihe pharmaceutical substances [used
to prepare this paste] must be ground to an extremely fine [powder] for the recipe to be effective. If they are not [ground to] a fine [powderj, the application [of the
paste] Will cause extreme pain. Ihis recipe was listed in Sun zhenrens 07z27z 777z )zz /77zo already, but not as detailed as it is recorded here. Also, Ma Siming of Bei Qi once cured Yang Z/unyan who had developed asore on his back. He resorted to a coarse yellow[ wheat meal ] stone the size of goose eggs, heated itonastrong fire until it had turned red, and gave it into dense vinegar. Ihis caused some scraps to descend in the vinegar. He then heated [the stone] again and dipped it [into the vinegar] again until the entire stone was used up.He thenremoved the scraps [from the vinegarj, dried them in the sun, ground them and sieved them to obtain avery fne powder Ihis he mixed with vinegarand appliedit [to the affected regionj, with
an immediate effect. Liu_ Yuxin in his C2z27z x7z7/ /z7zp has specifiled this method to refine,With heat,[ wheatmeal ] stones.When [this medication] is applied to sores
and swellingy it will be always effective.

Iheir physical appearance resembles that of blood clams (46-I4), but they are smaller. Ihey are hard and
heavylike stones.A popular saying is 了 at they are released from stone caves during thunderand rain,and that they fiy With the rain and then drop down. Ihat is non~ sense.[Su] Song: Ihey are found on the sandy beaches of the river banks of Qi yang xian. Some say that they grow in caves. Ihose that have become stiff like stones are fne. Ihey are collected anytime. [Kou] Zongshi: Stone swallows are shaped like corbiculas and clams. Iheir coloris that of soill they are hard and heavy like stones. As they lack wings,how could they have come out [of the caves] flying? Such sayings border on nonsense. [Li] Shizhen: Ihere are two [kinds of] stone swallows.
One variety is the one discussed here. Tt belongs to the group of stones. Its shape resembles that of swallows and it has aline design. Ihose that are round and big are males; those that are lengthy and small are females. Another variety are the stone swallows in stalactite caves. hey resemble bats. Ihey eat the juice [dripping] from the stalactites and they can fly Ihey belong to the group of birds. [For details] see the section “birds. As bird type stone swallows cat stalactites, to eat them has supplementary effects, identical to those of stalactites. Hence they are often resorted to in recipe texts as medication for supporting yang [q]. Ihe common people are unaware [of the existence of these two kinds]. Ihey often use these stones [indis-
criminately] as medication_ for supporting yang [qj, and this is printed in recipe books.Jtis amistake.

same idea as that cow yellow/cow bezoar [grows in the abdomen of cows]. Because [snake yellow] is difficult to obtain, the people substitute it with“stones held by
snakes, as they too originate in snakes. In Gruang xi,in Ping nan xian,is a snake yellow ridge. In theninth month,thelocal people there dig seven to eight c2z deep to obtain snake yellow. Large specimens are as big as chicken eggs.Small ones reach the size of bullets. Ihey are of purple color. Ihe Gezzze x77z )z/ ce States: “The [stones」
held by snakes are avariety of stones. lt is said, when snakes enter hibernation, they hold [in their abdomen] apiece of soil. When they come out of hibernation, [this
stone] has transformed to ayellow stone. But this is an unfounded statement. Ihere are people who have dug out snake caves in search of these [stones]j, but there has neverbeenarecord that[hese stones] were found。

Jtmay resemble the blade of an axe or the blade of aflle, and there are those With_ two holes. 匕lsewhere it is said that it originates in Lei zhou, and in the mountains and marshlands of He dong. Ihose found after a thunderclap has struck often resemble an axe. Ihey are greenish-black and have spots and aline design. Ihey are as hard as jade. It is also said that they are made from stone by humans as an offering to the administrators in heaven. lt is unclear whether this is so indeed. [Li Shizhen: According to the zz,“thunderclap axes resemble axes
and are made of copper and iron. Ihunderclap anvils resemble anvils and consist of stone. Ihey are of purple-black color. Ihunderclap hammers weigh several Zyz. Thunderclap borers are more than one c2z long. Ihey 和1 resemble [utensils made from」steel and iron. Ihey serve the thunderclap god to cut apart items and hit items. Ihunderclap rings resemble jade rings. Ihey are ornaments inadvertently lost and dropped by the thunderclap god. Ihunderclap pearls are the ones held in the mouth by spirit dragons that have fallen [on the ground]|. Bynight they shine and 記Iuminate a room. Also, the 522 zoz 2%27 states: “Among humans fine stones are observed frequently 了 at are shaped like asmall axe. Ihey are called thunderclap axe; another name is thunderbolt peg.”Ihe 和 zz7z 2o7zg 諷 states: “West of Yu men is a country With a monastery on a mountain. 弓very year the inhabitants of that country release borers and give them to the thunderclap [god] for his use.”This is an erroneous saying. Ihunderclap is asound caused by the clash of yin and yang di but this is controlled by gods. Hence it commences and ends just like al the other myriad items. Axes, borers, anvils and mallets are al real items. ]t is said that these
are images in heaven that assume aphysical appearance once they have reached the earth.Justlike stars that have fallen [from the sky on the earth] and become stones.
Now whenitrains metals and stones,When itrains millet and wheat, when it rains
hair and blood and all types of strange items,1s it that they too, assume aphysica appearance when they are on the earth? Somewhere in the great void there must be some god who is responsible for all this. During Chen times, Su Shao obtained a thunderclap mallet weighing nine 7z7zz. During Song times, Shen Kuo found a thunderclap peg underatree struckby [athunderbolt]. Itresembled an axe but had
no holes. Ihe WAY of demons and spirits is obscure and invisible. It really cannot be investigated to its very end.

Salt from Dong hai, a white salt under government control, has fine natural grains. he salt from Bei hai is yellow. Its natural grains are crude. To prepare minced fish and salty vegetables, the [salt| from the North is said to be
superior. Io preserve silk cocoons,one must use salt under government control. Ihe salt in Shu is slightly tasteless. Salt from _Gruang Zhou is salty and bitter. ]t is not known whether there are any quality differences in their curative potentials.[Chen] Gangqi: [Salt| can be found everywhere it is rare only in all the tribal regions 0f the South-West. All the people there burn bamboo and wood to obtain their salt. [Su] Song: Salt powder from Bing Zhou is obtained by scraping and boiling soda. Itis not very good. Itis the so-called “bittern salt.

it with bamboo and wood which in turn is covered with grass. Jhis then is covered with sand. When by night the tide rushes into the sand, the brine salt drips into the pit. Once the [sea] water retreats,[the peoplej light up [the contents of the pit
with atorch and the q rising from the brine will extinguish its fire. Ihen they 如 the sea brine into ]arge fat pans and boil them.[Ihe salt| will be ready within a short time. Ihe utensils employed to boil salt were called “solid basins”during the Han. Nowadays they are made from iron.

stomach and uphold theq always resorted to zzop xzz2 to soften hardness and to rermove heat repletion. For nodes that have not hardened yet it must not be used. [Wang] Haogu: When the 2De7z czo states: “The favor of po x7z2 is acrid, this is “ac-
rid [favor] is used to moisten kidney dryness.' Ioday the people do no longer use the character for “acrid.”Ihey only write “salty [When the 57z cd2 states:] “Salty [fiavor] can soften hardness,”the underlying meaning is always to the point. The ez cgzo states that zz7zox722 frees the flow ofurine and causes abortion. However
it can be used when adischarge is required [in the treatment of ] pregnant women suffering from harm caused by cold. With rhubarb root as its guiding substance it centers straight into the ]arge intestine where it moistens dryness, softens hardness and lets heat flow of freely. Both mother and child will be safe. Ihe Classic states: Tthere is areason [such as ahardeningy the mother] will not be harmed and |the childj wil not be harmed either” This is whatis meant here.And to talk about this
in view of the lower [body partd|j, defecation and urination are both yin [activities|. To talk about this in view of ones front and back [sectionsj, the qi are in the front and the bloodisin the back [sectionj_ To talk about this in terms of the kidneys, they are in overall control of major (defecation) and minor (urination) relief and distress. When urination is rough and [defecation] is constipated, this is always as-
sociated With an insufficiency of water and an abundance of filre. he Classic states: “When heat is excessive internally cure it with salty [flavor] and cold, to be assisted
by bitter [Havor| Ihis is why zzze xzz2 and rhubarb root are used. hey require each other as guiding substances.[「Zhangj Yuansu: Jhe qi of 2z7ze x72z9 are Weak while its favoris strong. Itsinks into the depth and causes [evil qi] to descend; it is
yin. Its usages are three. It removes repletion heat. Ihat is the first. It washes out of the intestines dirt that has remained there overnight. Ihat is the second. Tt breaks through hard accumulations and heat lumps. Jhat is the third. Women must not useitduring thethird and fourth month and during the seventh and eighth month of a pregnancy [An intake of 7zz7zg xzz2」 during 3 the other months will do no harm.[Kou] Zongshi: 秒 xzz2 is obtained through an initial boiling. Its flavoris very astringent. Hence its [therapeutic] strength is aggressive and by no means harmonizing. Io cure failure to digest food this [substance] is resorted to to eliminate it
by washing it out. 47Zz7ze x7z2 is penerated by pouring [hot water] on po xzz2. Tence it has a gentle nature,and this is why nowadays it is often used to cure harm caused by cold. [Li] Shizhen: [During arefinement with heat in water] 2 xzz2 朴 消 sinks downy it constitutes the crude [variety of ] xzzo 消 .Its substance matter is heavy and

Whenadecoction orapowder are required to be ingested as [medication or] special [longevity] diet, 2z7zc x72z2 and )z 722 are
fine. Zhang /hongjing in his $227zo 227z //7/ Only uses zz7zo 72z2; he does not use 2 xzz2. The underlying meaning is exactly the one discussed here. zz2 消 is endowed With the essence of major yinmy itis achild of water. Tts qi are cold and its flavor is salty Tt rushes to the blood, and moistens and discharges. It washes away diseases of repletion heat and yang strength affecting the Triple Burnep the intestines and the stomach. Ihat is,it is amedication that breaks and cures fire evil.

[Tao] Hongjing: Nitrokalite heals disease in much the same way as 22 xzz2 mirabilite. In the classics of the hermits/immortals it is used to dissolve and transform all types of stones/ minerqls.Butnowadays thereis nobodywhois familiar With this.Some say it occurs on the same mountains as 22 zzzo mirabilite. HIence 2o xzz2 朴 消 is also called zzz2 7 22 消 石 朴. They also state that its alternative name is 7zzzg xzz2 亡 消. Nowadays zz7zo %722 1s prepared by heat refinement from /o x7zz2. Its effects have not been examined yet. Once someone obtained an item that appeared very similar to 2o xzz2. Tt was shiny as if he had held salt or snow in his hand, but it was not cold. When helit it purple-greenish fumes rose. It was said: Ihis is genuine nitrokalite. Nowadays it occurs in the _mountains with saline earth north of Dang chang[Ma] Zhi: This is 和 2zzzg 地 ,“ground 寐 frost." Where it occurs, on marshlands
in fhe mountains, afrost appears on the ground during winter months. Jt is swept together and soaked in water. Ihenitis refined with heat by boiling [the liquidj」, and is ready [for medicinaluse].Itis shaped like the handles of hairpins, with good
ones reaching alength of five /7z. Tao [Hongjings」sayings are rather disparate for the simple reason that he was not familiar With it.Jtis also said to originate in the rocks of the mountains west of MIao zhou, where it is present in pieces of different sizZe. Its color is greenish-white. Jt is collected any time. [Li] Shizhen: Nitrokalite

betin 和 the counties of Qing yangy, and also in Shu zhong. During autumn and wintep the entire ground is covered white.[Nitrokalite] is prepared by collecting [this white cover] and by refining it with heat by means of boiling. Ihe item traded is imperfecty it is often polluted with impurittes. Hence it must be boiled again in water to transform it[Ihe liquid] is poured into a tub and [the nitrokalite] wil
congeal and form overnight. he dregs collecting on the bottom are shaped like 2 zz2 朴 消 . It is also called 572e7zc %722 生 消; that is to say it is a “solvent”xz22

that has just “emerged,”y2ezg c2z 生 出 , from a preparation With heat. “Those parts congealing on top [oftheliquid] sometimes have pointed awns, zz 亡 ,1ke 7z27z %zz2 亡 消 , or they appear as elongated tablets with edges resembling zz )z xzz2 馬 牙 消 ,“horse teeth zzzozmirabilite.” This is why nitrokalite is also called /z7zg x722 亡 消 ,“awn xzzo, and ) zz2 牙 消 ,“teeth xzz2. [Nitrokalite is identical to 92 xz22 mirabilite] in terms of their names zz7g 亡 and )z 牙 . But they differ in terms of their water and fire nature. Cui Fang in his 7 2Z27 2e7z cd states: Nitrokalite is a yin stone/mineral. But it is defilnitely not part of the group of stones/minerals. It is produced by boiling bittern,and nowadays it is called yzz xzz2 焰 消 ,“blazing xzz2/ solvent. In He bei, in Shang cheng and at the border between Huai and Wei, thhe people living along the river scrape bittern [from the ground], soak and refine it
with heat and produce something notvery different from 22 xzz2.Jtis not produced in the southern regions. Sheng 入uanZziin his /7 oo7zo 2 states: Nitrokalite grows in Wu chang guo. Jts color is greenish-white. Fry apiece of quartz until it is hot and dripiton [nitrokalite].Tf [the quartz] inmmediately dissolves and penetrates the nitrokalite, it is genuine [nitrokalite]. Ihe qi of the places where nitrokalite origi-
nates in is extremely poliuted and malign. Birds are unable to fiy above them.When persons with only asingle garment pass by them, 4 worms/bugs on their body wi be transformed to water [Nitrokalite] is able to dissolve metals and stones to water,
Ingesting it gives one longevity Pieces With a physical appearance of goose quills are fine. Now, what Sheng 入uanzi says does not seem to agree with the nitrokalite of today But Yao Kuan,in his 六 7 x7 co7zg 2z/z, considers [Sheng
入uanzis] record as
describing the genuine nitrokalite. How could it be that a foreign product differs from [nitrokalite produced in] China? Perhaps they are different kinds? Ihis is up to the scientists to decide and find the correct ansWwer

the people in Yi zhou refine alum with heat to prepare nitrokalite.[ Iheir product
is Very soft and white,and its fiavorremains to be that of alum. It is also said, 22 xz22 朴 消 nowadays originates in the border region ofthe two counties of Xi chuan and anlhngofWenshanjuninthenorthernpartof Yizhou.Ttgrows onthemountain cliffs and is often of a greenish-white colorpsometimes interspersed with black dots. The local people choose and remove those [pieces] that are white and soft and use
them instead of nitrokalite. tneeds to be heated to have it emit a bubbling liquid, and then it is shaped like alum. [Chen] Cangdqi: $27 27 石
,脾 2zzg xz22 亡 消 and
xzz2 527 消 ,they 石 all originate in the bittern earth of Xi rong,and they form when brine congeals.[Su] Gong: 箇 xzz2 入 消 occurs in two kinds. One has a vertical [line designj structure; the other has no clearly distinguishable [lne design] struc~ ture. Iheir usages are not different. Ihose pieces which are white and soft, they are “2o zz2 seedlings. Ihey are hollow soft and of weak [therapeutic] strength.When they are refined With heat to produce nitrokalite, the outcome is small. If it is used as a substitute_ for nitrokalite, its「therapeutic] effects are very deficient. It is also
said, xzz2 y27 消 石 is zzz7g zz2 蕊 消 ,and an alternative name of po zzz2 邊 消 is zzz2
7 2o 消 石 朴 .When nowadays raw and malign 22 zzz2 蕊 消 is dissolved to aliquid and this liquid is boiled to produce zzzgx7zz2 亡 消 , then this is actually xzz2 y27 消 石 .When the 5zz 月 listed 7zz7zg zzz2 in a separate entry 了 at was an error. Ihe an~cient recipes of theJJn and Song eras frequently resort to xzz2 527 消 ,石 they rarely [recommend to] use 2z7zge xzz2 亡 消 . In recent times, a11 physicians only use 2Z72 xzz2 蕊 消, and only few of them refer to xz22 52z 消 .石 The underlying principle is obvious and [zzz7zgxzz2 亡 消 ] should not have been listed separately [Su] Song: In old statements the three items 22 %7z22 朴 消 , 7zz7zo x722 亡 消 and xzz2 y27 消 石 were
regarded as identical kinds. At first they are collected as seedlings. Water is poured over them,y they are boiled and this results in a product named 2o xzz2 朴 消 , also named xzz2 527 22 消 石和 仆 .When po zzz2 朴 消 or 選 y2zz7zg 地 箱 are further refined With heat, resulting in asubstance that is hard and white like astone, 也hen this is xzz2 527 消 ,also 石 called zzzgexzz2 蕊 消 . Furthermore, 放 2o xzz2 朴 消 is soaked in water and refined With heat by boiling it so that it congeals and develops fine awns, then this is zzg xzz2 亡 消 . These are identical substances, but their names differ. As the methods of their preparation differp [the diseases] they control and serve to cure differ too. Howeverp the records in the 2ez.7-7zoe may refer to two kinds. When todays physicians use them in their recipes,they too,are unable to make a [correct
distinction. Ihey simply consider those pieces that have not been refined with heat yet and are of aslightly greenish color to be po xzz2 征 消. And they consider those that are refined with heat and that have grown awnsinatub to be zzgxz22 亡 消. They also call the latter pez xzz2 盆 消 , “tub solvent.”Ihe dregs congealing on the
786
7/2e 7z7/ Cdz2 Gd7zg 47z
bottom of the zz7g xzz2 蕊 消 [tub] are xzz2 52# 92 消 石朴. The [therapeutic] strength of [22 和 ]朴 xzz2 消 is intense.That of zzz7zg zzz2 蕊 消 is second to it.That of xz2z2 527 消 石 is even milder Itis not known who is right. Su Gong says: ““Ihe ancient recipes of theJJnand Song eras frequently resort to xzz2 y2z 消 ,石 they rarely [recommend to] use 2zz7zexzz2 亡 消 Zhang Zhongjing in his $2z7ze 22z7z 太 7 in his |recipes aimed at| “upholding the di and sinking into the chest always uses 27z x722 亡 消 . Ge Hongy in his Z22z 2oz

stance」]- Hence_ Mr Tao [Hongjing] quotes Huangfu Shian as proof that at that time genuine xzz2 527 消 石 already was di 了 cult to obtain. Hence all recipe books referred to substitutes instead. In ancient recipes advising on the_method to crystallize gold and stones, [it is recommended]j “to use one after another the four
kinds of 22 zzz2 入 消 ,xzz2527 消 ,2zzezzzo 石 蕊 消 and zz
xzz2 馬 牙
消 .” These
recipes originated in the Tang era, butitis not known howy at that time, [these four
substances] might have been distinguished. Also in an explanation of nitrokalite written by aphysician in the South it is stated: “The 5ez cz2 lists 2 xzz2 朴 消 , xzz2 77 消 石 and zz zz2 亡 消 ,it does not include zz )z xzz2 馬
牙消 ." In comments
[written in later times] no author provided clear definitions. Some said that zz7ze
xzz22 亡 消 and xzz2 27 消 石 are one and the same item and that they need not be listed separately Others said, when oo zzz2 入 消 is refined with heat by boiling and thenleftinatub overnightgrows fine awns,this is zz7zg zz2 亡 消. Still others say that zzz yz xzz2 馬 牙 消 is a separate item of its own.Today the physical bodies of 和 1 the xzz2 difterp and the reason is casy to understand. Sti, there exist al these erroneous views.TIhe flavor of 22 zzz2 朴 消 is bitter and slightly salty. That originating in Shu jun is shiny and white like ice and snow. Ihat originating in the inner territories consists of small, black [items]. Ihey all are crispy and can easily be broken to pieces.

However before it is exposed to fire it is called y2e7g zz2 生 消 ,“fresh xzz2and 22 zzz2 朴 消 ,“raw xzz2.” After it has been treated with fireit is called zzz7zex7z2 亡 消 ,“xzzo that has grown awns,"and ez zzz2 盆 消 ,
22 from atub. [Li] Shizhen: Since Jln and Iang times, al] authors have given names to 4 the [kinds of」] xzzo,and they have guessed lwhat they might be]. None of them offered adefinite view. Only 4Zz Z27 in the 人 27 22z2 227z cz2 stated 了 at x7z22 527 消 石 is the product of arefinement with heat of “frost found on the earth,” 尿
29zz7zg 消 ,while 石 zzg 722 亡 消 and zz ) xzz2 馬 牙 消 result from arefinement With heat of 22xzz2 和 朴 .This 消 is the only statement that is sufficient to bring down the unfounded opinions of 4 the other authors. Ihe fact is, all the other authors have confused [these substances] because xzz2 27 消 石 is also named 7z27ze xz22 亡
消 , and po xzz2 朴 消 is also named xzz2 52z 2 消
石 .朴 Hence they all wasted their
time on adiferentiation and did not reach a final decision nevertheless. Ihey did not know that xzz2
消 appears in two kinds,one water [variety] and one fire [vari-
ety]. Ihe physical appearance and the substance matter [of these two kinds] are identical, but their nature and their qi are widely different. Only the $2e7z 27zo 2e77 7zzzge offered a correct [distinction] in its two entries on oo xzz2 朴 消 and xzz2 527 消
石 . Ihe 7zzzg xz2z2 isted in the 2zz Z, the y2e7zg x7z2 listed in the
2 ) zz2 listed in the 7Zz )z and the
太z7 2z2, they are al related but were listed to increase [the
number ofkinds]. Here now they are combined again in one [entry].The 22 xzz2 相 消 llsted by Shen nong is a “water xzz2.”It occurs in two kinds. That which following aheat reflnement by means of boiling congeals and grows filne awns, and that congeals further to develop “horse teeth,”is )z xzz2 牙 消. That which condenses on thebottom [of the tub where xzz2 is boiled] and forms pieces there, is always 22 7Z22
朴 消 .The qi of both [kinds] are salty and cold. The xzz2 52z 消 石 listed by Shen nongisa“”fre x7zz29. bt too,occurs in two kinds. Ihat which following aheat reflne-

ment by means of boiling congeals and grows fine awns, is also called zzzzg x722 亡 消 . And that which congeals further to develop “horse teeth,”is also called )z xz22 消.That which condenses on the bottom to piec牙 消 .It is also called y2ezezxzz2 生 es, that is xzz2 52z 消 .Ihe 石 qi ofboth [these kinds] are acrid-bitter and very warm. Both [the water and the fire varities of ] zzz2 have the names 2z7g zz2 亡 消 and )
xzz2 牙 .消 Hence they were mixed up in ancient recipes. Ever since the Tang and the Song eras, al1 the zzzg xzz2 亡 消 and the ) xzz2 牙 消 in use actually were “water xzz2. he distinction offered by that physician from the South was quite clearp but he was wrong when he stated that by boiling calcite With pig bile zz %722 亡 消 is generated. Here now all these errors are corrected. $27 27 石 ,脾 also named xzz2527 消 ,is 石 artificially produced fake nitrokalite. See below under “y27 7 石

Explication. Iu su zhen jjun: Nitrokalite is brought forth affected by the bittern of the sea;itis amost divine item between heaven and earth.JIt can be cold andit can
be hot. It can be smooth anditcan be rough.Jt can be acrid and it can be bitter. 1t can be sour and it can be salty Even after it has entered the earth for a thousand years, its color will not change. Tt transforms 72 kinds of stones/minerals to water. It checks, when they are to be ingested, [the effects] of herbs and trees. It softens and moistens the five metals. It checks,when they are to be reflned with heat, [the
effects] of the eight stones/minerals. Even major elixirs cannot escape its strength. [Li] Shizhen: Iu su describes the wondrous potential of nitrokalite to produce di-
vine transformations. The 5zz 及 lists itin the entry on oo xzz2 朴 ,mirabilite.That 消 is amistake.
必0 zzz2 朴 消 ,mirabilite, is associated with water. Its flavor is salty and
its qi are cold. By its nature it causes discharge with arapid movement. Tt is unable to rise.IJtis ayininyin [substance]- 本 enceitis able only to wash out accumulations and sluggishness from the intestines and the stomach, and to eliminate fire from the Triple Burner.

,石 nitrokalite, is a substance associated with fire. Its
favor is acrid, With abitter and slightly salty note. Jts qi are very Warm, and by its nature it rises. J]t is filre within water. Hence it is able break open accumulations and to disperse hardenings, to cure all types of heat diseases, to rise and disperse pent-up fire,and to regulate and harmonize the long-term depots and short-term repositories in the case of depletion cold. Its usage is identical to that of sulphur It adjusts the two qiin that it regulates both yin and yang,and it has the potential of the rising of filre and the descending of watep so that it serves to cure diseases of cold and heat, those of slow and others of rapid progress. Being calcined together With zzezzg 527 灰
,chlorite-schist 石 to check [its effects],it eliminates accumulation,
sluggishness and phlegm rheum.7F The fact is, sulphur by its nature is warm and opens passageways. By its nature it moves downward. Nitrokalite by its nature is Warrm and disperses. By its nature it rises. Chlorite-schist by its nature is cold and causes discharge; nitrokalite by its nature is Warm and rises. One causes an upward movementy one causes a downward movement; one is yin; one is yang. Ihis is the
Wondrous [art] of preparing recipes. When nowadays the military uses nitrokalite for beacon filre and [as ammunition] for pistols,[the nitrokalite] penetrates straight
into the Milky Way From this it is obvious that its nature is to rise. Ihe preface to the /.z7 oo7zo 222 之27 //7z states: In the case of brain pain so severe that one wishes to die, insert xzz2
消 powder into the [patients] nose.”[Such advise,] too, resorts
to its nature of rising, and to its potential to disperse, based on its acrid [favor 76I 72z zz 導 飲 ,“phlegm rheum,”refers to pathological products that have accumulated in 了 ebody and that are excretedin the process of changes aftecting 也e depots and palaces.

This is the meaning of acure conforming with [the nature of the disease]. he 257

to that of camphora and brandy How could its nature be cold, or even very cold. The $27 有 in its “Biography of Cang gong states: “A concubine of the King of Zi chuan failed to produce milk for her newborn baby. Chunyu Yi was called to the court.

Ihen [Chunyuj Yi examined [the movementin her] vessels which appeared restless. Such restless [movement in the

It is added to ai types of supplementing medication to be prepared as pills.

But it is not known from what time such recipes date. They were certainly not based on an ancient [therapeutic] method. Ihis item basically serves
to attack accurmulations and concretions,associated with heat and poison. Ingested in larpge amounts it destroys ones intestines and stormach,and used raw/unprocessed it can also turn ahuman heart into blood. Soits deflnitely not something that you can eat every day as a delicacy! JIhe people in the Western territories cover roasted meat with it instead of using salt. When this is eaten it does not cause any harm. This is because they have become used to it over along period of time. Hence they are not poisoned.

more does this apply to accumulations in a persons abdomen that have been there foralong time? Why should not they be rotted? [Zhang] Yuansu: Sal ammoniac breaks through hardenings and apggregatlon訓ness. It must not be used as asingle substance. Io be used [for therapeutic purposes]itis to be added to acollective of
further medication substances. [Li] Shizhen: Salammoniac is an item of great heat
and poison. When it is used for diseases such_ as gullet occlusion, accumulation lumps, and internal concretion-illness, its application wi have divine effects. Jhe
fact 1s, 和 these 訓 nesses originate in one of the seven emotions,in beverages and food, with pent-up phlegm qi and nodes. Ihey subsequently assume a physical appearance that blocks passageways,resultinpg in vomiting of food and painful distension.Tf [sal ammoniac] were not available to transform and dissolve [these blocks| which other [substance could be resorted to] to eliminate them? By its nature it is
perfectly able to soften _gold, silyerp copper and tin. Whenacook intends to boi hard meat he wil add asmall amount of sal ammoniac and it will soften. From
this one may conclude on its other abilities. When it is said that it transforms a human heart to blood,this is just to emphasize that it mustnot be ingested in large armounts./Zhang Gaoinhis 贅 Zoo7ze states: Salammoniac holds the di ofyin stones/minerals and it includes the essence of yang poison. It is able to transform the flve metals and the eight stones/minerals, to eliminate filth and to boost the yang [qi]. Tts effects are very obvious; its strength is equal to that of sulphur.' Dugu Tao in his 7z7z 包 7ze 27z zz7z States: “By its nature,salammoniac is very poisonous. Itis the enemy of the flve metals. For illnesses of a deep-seated cold, it can be ingested. Once the iness decreases, stop [ingestingjitimmediately Ingested in large amounts it causes congestionand swelling associated With an obstruction-ness77. These two statements are quite clear. Still, in medical recipes of the Iang and Song eras one also finds an approach to ingestit as asingle substance. Ihe fact is, 也is was to avail oneself of its potential to assist the yang [qb i. e., male sexuality] to freely follow ones lusty Without concern for the harm done to the yin [qi] and subsequent

ollected Explanations.[Su] Song: Borax originates in Nan hai. It has avery shiny, lustrous appearance, and it may be found in extremely large pieces. In recipes it is rarely resorted to; it can be used to firmly connect gold and silyer [Kou] Zongshi: [Borax] from Nan fan is dark brown and has an apgreeable flavor. Added to medi-
cation it exerts fast effects. Ihat from Xi rong is of white color and has ascorched flavor. Added to medication its effects are slow. [Li| Shizhen: Borax grows in 入 1 nan fan. It occurs in two kinds,yellow and white. IJhat from the West is white like alum. Ihat from the South is yellow like peach resin. Both [kinds] are produced by
means of areflnement with heat,similar to the various types of salammoniac. Ihat from the West softens items and removes dirt. It kills the flve metals and has the same[therapeutic] potential as nitrokalite. When brought together With arsenic, its effects are strengthened.

[Su] Song:
The intake of sulphur as a special diet is not suggested in ancient recipes. Its use |recommended] in the 25ez.7ZZzo is limited to curing sores and erosion,and to attack
accumulation and collectionm,cold qq andlegweakness. Butin more recent timesit1s regularly ingested following arefnement with filre for curative purposes as pills and powders. All the methods to prepare [sulphur] through arefinement with heat and to ingest it instead of ordinary meals lack a thorough foundation. Ihis is different from [the intake of] stalactites which is based on good reason and follows certain
restrictions. Hence, to ingest [sulphur] may exert definite effects, but a suffering Will follow even faster. Should one not be cautiousP Soil sulphur is acrid, hot and fshy malodorous, It only serves, [applied externallyj to cure 7ze- 崗 ness?5 and to ki
worms/bugs. It must not be ingested. [Kou] Zongshi: Nowadays the people ingest it llways successfully to cure depletion cold affecting the original [qijl in the lower [body partsj, an imminent interruption [of the flowj of the original db long-lasting
sufering from cold outflow, and depletion weakness of spleen and stomach, with life about to end. Once the disease is strucky, the [therapy] must end immediately
and a[prescribed] dose must not be ingested entirely. Ihe fact is, the common peo~ ple know about the blessings associated With the use of [sulphurj; but they are not
aware of its disastrous consequences. Ihis is so because this item combines injury and benefit. When the strength of a disease has reached a dangerous state and is acute, it may be added to pills and several of them may be ingested.Tf only asm 沁 number [of pills is takenj, this will remain without effects. Also, add zc2zzzzz7z [ac~-
cessory tuberj, dried ginger and cinnamom bark. [Wang] Haogu: For example, the majorwhite elixir and the “elixirto [letlife] return, theyboth use sulphur assisted
by nitrokalite. Ihat is, extreme yang is assisted by extreme yin. Ihis is identical to the most impressive idea underlying [Zhang] Zhongjings penetrating decoction With_onions that is assisted by human urine and pig bile. Hence, to cure internal harm caused by fresh and cold [food], external adverse affects by summerheat and

cold,andifat the same time [this is acondition of] subdued yangy this will be [the treatmentj] of choice. Howevepif 了 there is no subdued yangy,and if [the patientj only has signs ofayin [conditionj, this mustnotbe further supported by yin medication!
Why? Because sulphur is also called general Ttis able to break down evil [gqi] and let the proper [qij return; to push out sluggishness and let clarity come back. It stimulates arelease of yang essence, dissolves yin [q] and transforms the po-soul.
[Li] Shizhen: Sulphur is the essence of pure yang; it is endowed with anature of massive heat. It is able to supplement insufficient genuine fire in the gate of life. In addition,even though by its nature itis hot,it nevertheless is able to free the passage through the large intestine,and it differs from [substances with] drying and roughening [effects」]|. Hence it too, is awondrous medication for rescuing one in critical situations. Still,iingestedrefinedwith heat,and with its [effects] checked, it causes
harm of a one-sided excess. How much more will 也ose who ingest it instead of proper meals, and who rely onitto give in to their [sexual] desires, speed up their demisel! How could this be blamed on the medicationp! According to the Sz7z $2e7z zz, sulphuris adivine medication of hermits/immortals.Tfone each year during the three ten-day periods of the hottest season consumes as food one hundred [suphur] kernels, it has proven effective to eliminate from the long-term depots and
short-term repositories accumulations and sluggishness. Howeverp sulphur grows hidden underneath rocks.1tis penerated byyang q that have melted toaliquid and later congealed again. Itis of avery hot nature. Tf ingested following areflnement With heat overafire,it often causes outbreaks ofimpediment-ilness5?ontheback.
Fang Shao in his 52 >227 2727z states: ”Ihe gold liquid elixir is prepared, by means ofareflnement with heat, from sulphur. Itis an item of pure yang. It is suitable for [a condition of] stubborn cold.” Nowadays, the people often ingest it at the time
of Summer Solstice, and contrary to their expectations, it causes massive sufferingHan Iui wrote an essay to warn againstingesting [elixirs] instead of ordinary meals. Butin his late years he ingested sulphur and died.Is this notawarningP! Duke 入ia of Ying suffered from acold disease. Henever stopped to ingest sulphur and stalactites, and he lived along life. Ihis is just to show that the endowments of humans differ. Hong Maitin his 琶 7zz7z 227 states: “Tang Yuzheng also knew medicine and when he cured an ness this was based on thoughtful consideration. Wu 入unjian suffered from an inability to urinate. Lyingy he urinated asmall amount; standingy he could not even let go of atiny drop. Al kinds of medication designed to clear the passapge [of his urine] remained without effect. He told Iang [Yuzheng」 that
he himself every day prepared ablack tin elixir and continously ingested it. [Iang 8o6 甩 疸 , “impediment-illness,”refers to an obstruction of vessels or other ducts inside the body Qirushing against theimpedimentmay cause alocalswelling and eventually break through the surface to cause an abscess.

Yuzheng] then understood [lthe problem」j and said: Ihis must be as follows. When
[the elixir is prepared with heat and] the sand congeals, the sulphur 了 es away and the lead remains present. he lead sand enters the bladder. When you lie down the heavy weight [of the lead] moves to one side [of the bladder] and this allows urination. When you stand, [the lead sand] fully blocks the waterway, and hence the

lead was affected by the sulphur q it transformed [to aliquid] and was gradually discharged through the waterway As aresult, the disease was cured. Ihe faculty of sulphur to transform lead is recordedin the rectpes of the classic scriptures. But 六 one does not understand how to adapt that faculty to areal situation, how could such miraculous effects be achieved?” The 7 2zzz states: “A clerk in Ren he xian decayed early in his life and lost all his teeth.A Daoist ordered unprepared sulphur to be flledintoapigs stomach,to boilituntil done, grind it [to apulp] and prepare pills.

this can be doubted. [Kou] Zongshi: Itmustnotbe ingested in ]arge quantities lest itharm heartandlung.Whenitis transformed in water and used to write on paperp the dried [writingj will not be moistened by water. From this it can be known that
by its nature it repels water. Tts frequent use as amedication to cure saliva present below the diaphragm is based on this idea. [Li| Shizhen: Alum is used for four
purposes.[First] to remove,by means ofvomiting and free-flux, phlegm and saliva
generated by wind and heat. Ihis [is a therapy availing itself of alums] sour and bitter Havor that causes asurging and outflow. [Secondyj to cure all kinds of painful

7zey whenever someone suffers on
his back from outbreaks of obstruction-illness and impediment-ness,”*“ regardless of whether[the patient] is old oryoungyit is always advisable to ingest yellow alum p 過s. When one /Zzzgeormore [of these pills] are ingested, they will always have the desired effect. Ihey are very much able to end pain without exciting the long-term depots and short-term repositories. Ihey have brought people back to life innumerable times. Grind one Zzzzc of raw bright and shiny white alum [to apowder]
and transform it by melting it With seven 7zzz of good yellow beeswax to prepare pills the size of oz seeds. 己ach time ingest ten pills, and slowly increase the dose to 2o pills, to be sent down with boiled water. If [at the onset of the treatment the
obstruction-iness and the impediment-ness] had not broken open yety they w 六 dissolve internally 攻 they had broken open already this will facilitate their closure. When sores result from an ingestion of metals and minerals, guide [the metals and
minerals] With one or two spoonfuls of white alum, to be sent down mixed With Warm _ wine. Jhis, too, will show the desired effects after three to flve ingestions. There was someone who had developed sores, resembling snake heads, all over his
body He ingested this and for this, too,it proved effective. All these recipes are said to be cxtraordinarily effective.
