黄帝齐于悬辅,以造中黄直。中黄直曰∶子何为者也?黄帝曰∶今弃天下之主,愿闻长

欲躬耕而食,深居靖处,禽兽为伍,无烦万民,恐不得其道,敢问治身之要,养生之宝。中
黄乃仰而叹曰∶至哉子之问也,吾将造七禽之食,可以长生,与天相保。子其秘之,非贤勿

使者怪而问之。妇人对曰∶此是我儿之宗孙,家有良药,吾敕遣服之;而不肯服,老病年至
不能行来,故以打棒令服药耳。使者下车,长跪而问之曰∶妇人年几何?妇人对曰∶吾年三

今按∶加石决明方在治虚劳方中。
服菊方∶
《金匮录》云∶南阳郦县山中有甘谷,水甘美,所以尔者。谷上左右皆生菊,菊华堕其
中,历世弥久,故水味为变。其临此谷居民,皆不穿井悉食谷水,食谷水者,无不寿。考高
者,百四五十岁,下者不失八九十,无夭年者,正是得此菊力也。汉司空王畅、太尉刘宽、
太尉袁隗,皆曾为南阳太守。每到官,常使郦县月送甘水三十斛,以为饮食。此诸公多患风
痹及眩冒,皆得愈。
《大清经》云∶服菊延年益寿,与天地相守不死方∶
春三月甲寅日,日中时采更生,更生者,菊之始生苗也。夏三月丙寅、壬子日,日中时
采周盈,周盈一云周成,周成者,菊之茎也。秋三月庚寅日,日晡时采日精,日精者,菊之
花也。常以十月戊寅日平旦时采神精。神精者,一曰神华,一曰神英者,菊之实也。无戊寅
者壬子亦可用也。冬十一月、十二月壬寅日日入时采长生,长生者菊之根也。一方云∶十一
月无壬寅,壬子亦可用也。都合五物,皆令阴干,百日,各舍二分冶合下筛。此上诸月或无
应采之日,则用戊寅、戊子、戊辰、壬子日也。春加神精一分,更生二分;夏加周盈三分、
长生二分;秋加神精一分、日精二分;冬加日精三分。常以成日合之,无用破,厄日合之也,

日服五十五枚,一月服一百六十五枚,一年服一千九百八十枚,六小月减六十枚。此药主秘
补脑,早服之令头不白,好颜色,长生无病。(又云阴干百日。)

一日,始满十日,更之如前法。欲治诸平病,留饮,当食不消,胸中之气满,转下下利,一
服一合,二合愈,多服无毒。若病患食少勿多服,令人大便刚难。

《金匮录》记载:这是黄帝从真人中黄直那里获得的七禽食疗方。(按语:即《大清经方》中的七禽散。)
黄帝在悬辅山斋戒,去拜见中黄直。中黄直问:“你是做什么的?”黄帝说:“我现在已放弃天下君主的地位,希望能听闻长生的道理。”中黄直说:“你治理天下很久了,现在又追求长生之道,难道不贪心吗?”黄帝说:“拥有天下确实很久了,如今我想亲自耕种而食,居住在幽静之处,与禽兽为伍,不再烦扰万民,但我担心无法掌握其中的道术,冒昧请教修身养性的关键和养生之宝。”中黄直于是仰天感叹道:“你的问题问得真好!我将传授给你七禽之食的方法,可以使人长生,与天地共存。你要保密,不是贤德之人不要告诉他。通常在七月七日采集泽泻。所谓泽泻,是白鹿所加益之物,白鹿寿命可达八百岁。在八月初一采集柏树果实,柏实是猿猴所加益之物,猿猴寿命可达八百岁。在七月七日采集蒺藜,蒺藜是腾蛇所加益之物,腾蛇寿命可达二千岁;在八月采集芦苇,奄芦(芦苇)是某种神兽所加益之物,该兽寿命可达二千岁。在八月采集地衣,地衣即车前子的果实,是子陵(一种动物)所加益之物,寿命可达千岁。在九月采集蔓荆子,蔓荆子是白鹄所加益之物,白鹄寿命可达二千岁。在十一月采集彭勃,彭勃即白蒿,是白兔所加益之物,白兔寿命可达八百岁。以上药材都要阴干,装入瓦器中,封口涂泥,不让药气泄漏。正月初辰日炼制混合后过筛,使各药分量相等,大枣用量是其他草药的三倍,肉桂用一份,放入苇草袋中以防泄漏。每次取三指撮的药量,饭后煎汤服用,连续服用一百天,耳聪目明,夜间视物有光,气力自然加倍增强,身体坚固。长期服用,寿命可与天地同寿。
《大清经》记载:黄帝四扇散,仙人茅君对李伟说:“你应该服用黄帝四扇散方:
松脂、泽泻、山术(白术)、干姜、云母、干地黄、石上菖蒲。
共七味药,精心炼制混合,使各药分量相等,一起捣碎四万次,盛放在密封容器中,不要让妇女、六畜等污秽之物看见。早晨用酒送服三方寸匕的药量,也可以用水送服;也可以做成蜜丸散剂,早晨服用如大豆大小的二十到三十丸。这是黄帝传授给风后的四扇神方,是返老还童的道理。我从前从高丘先生那里接受此方,让它流传下去罢了。
又说:西王母四童散,茅君对思和说:“你应该服用王母四童散,其方用法如下:
胡麻(炒熟)、天门冬、茯苓、山术(白术)、干黄精、桃核中的仁(去掉红皮)。
共六味药,精心炼制,分量相等,一起捣碎三万次。早晨用酒送服三方寸匕,每天两次。也可以用水送服,也可以用蜜丸,早晨服用三十丸,每天一次。这是返回孩童状态的秘道。因为思和的身体损伤比李伟少,所以适宜服用这个方子。制药时,都要保持身心清净,忌讳熏香,不要在混杂他人的房间里制作。
又说:淮南子茯苓散,能让人身体轻盈,益气力,白发变黑,落齿重生,眼睛复明,延年益寿,使老人恢复年轻的方子:
茯苓(四两)、术(白术,四两)、稻米(八斤)。
共三味药,捣成粉末过筛,每次服用方寸匕,连续服用二十天,每天四次。再服用二十天后见效,三十天身体轻盈,六十天百病痊愈,八十天头发脱落重新生长。有验证,白天黑夜都能看见光明,长期服用可延年益寿。
又说:神仙长生不死不老方:
白瓜子(二分)、桂枝(二分)、茯苓(四分)、天门冬(四分)、菖蒲、秦椒(各二分)、泽泻、冬葵子(各三分)。
共八味药,炼制后过筛,每次服用方寸匕,饭后服用。服用一百天想见鬼神;二百天,司命神划去死籍;三百天能与鬼神相通;六百天,能变大变小,能轻能重,意志所想,音乐自创,玉女来侍奉。范蠡服用此药五十岁时显得年轻;在周朝秦国化为白玉;在燕赵之地化为陶朱公;在吴楚之地化为范蠡;在汉朝化为东方朔;在江南化为渔父;夏征舒二变为皇后,三变为夫人。服药如此变化,五六百年是非常好的验证。
又说:神仙延年不老作年少方:
茯苓(二分)、白菊花(三分)、菖蒲(二分)、远志(二分)、人参(二分)。
共五味药,炼制后过筛,用松脂做丸,每次服用如鸡蛋大的一丸,能让人年轻,耳聪目明,面色好。像十五岁时的样子,活到四百岁还是像十五岁的儿童,不可企及。又能让人不长高,如果想试验,取药拌饭喂鸡,小鸡吃了就不再长大。这是极好的验证秘方。
《金匮录》记载:五茄,是五行的精华,五片叶子同根而生而向外分开。所以叫五茄,就像五家相邻。它沾染青雾,吸收东方的润泽;白色气体环绕节段,资助西方的津液;红色注入花朵,蕴含南方的光辉;黑色精华进入骨骼,承受北方的液汁;黄色烟雾熏染树皮,得到戊己中央的恩泽。五种属性镇压生命相互感应而形成运行之道的人,升仙;服用的人,返回婴儿状态。鲁宣公的母亲单氏服用它的酒,因此得以不死。
有的方子:服用五茄散方:
五茄、天门冬、茯苓、桂枝、花椒、冬葵子。
六味药,分量相等捣碎过筛,用井花水送服一刀圭的量,在两餐之间服用,每天三次。坚持三十天不间断,仿佛能见到神灵;五十天司命神去除死籍;七十天能与神通。
《大清经》记载:取五茄削皮,长度一寸,取一斗,用美酒浸泡,十天制成。温服,不要喝多。能让人耳聪目明,落齿重生,白发变黑,身体轻强,面色光泽。治疗阳痿,妇人生产后的余疾,让人多子。取五茄应当取雄株的,不用雌株的。雄株五片叶,味甘;雌株三片叶,味苦。
按语:另一种说法:夏天用叶茎,冬天用根皮,切取一升,装在绢袋里,用一斗酒浸泡,春秋七天、夏天五天、冬天十天,去掉渣滓,温服适量不要醉倒,禁止接触尸体,产妇不要看见。每天吃五茄胜过吃百库黄金。
服用枸杞方:
《大清经》记载:从前有一个人,因为出使,在河西行走。看见一个小妇人在打一个老公公,年纪大约八九十岁。使者感到奇怪便询问。妇人回答说:“这是我儿子的宗孙,家里有良药,我命令他服用;但他不肯吃,年老生病到了不能行走的地步,所以我用棒子打逼他服药。”使者下车,长跪问道:“妇人您多大年纪?”妇人回答说:“我三百七十三岁了。”使者说:“药有几种,可以知道吗?”妇人说:“这药只有一种,有四个名字:春天叫天精,夏天叫枸杞,秋天叫却老,冬天叫地骨。服用方法:正月上寅之日采它的根,二月上卯日捣末服用;三月上辰之日采它的茎,四月上巳日捣末服用;五月上午之日采它的叶,六月上未日捣末服用;七月上申之日采它的花,八月上酉日捣末服用;九月上戌之日采它的果实,十月上亥日捣末服用;十一月上子之日采它的根,十二月上丑日捣末服用。
它的果实是红色的,捣碎过筛,方寸匕的药量放入好酒中,每天服用三次。十天百病消除;二十天身体强健,益气力,老人变得壮实;二百天以上,气力强壮,慢走或跑马,皮肤像油脂膏一样滋润。神奇而有验证,千金不传。(也可以做成羹菜食用,味道稍微像香料,大补益人,《本草》说:离开家十里不要服用萝摩、枸杞,说的是没有妇人阴强道的缘故。)
凡是服用枸杞没有什么禁忌,只是不要吃蒜,以免杀死药势,也不要吃。服用枸杞时,猪油、精肉、言语(此处疑为衍文或特定禁忌),也不得食用。
枸杞酒:主治各种风痹劳损,或者大热,或者不能饮食,或者腹胀,或者脚重,或者走路眼暗,或者健忘,或者失意,或者上气,或者头痛眩晕,都主治。长期服用者,除病延命,让人聪明、身体轻盈、益气,除寒去热;服用一百天,百病全除,眼睛可以独见,耳朵可以独闻;三年以上,乘浮云,驾飞龙。千金莫传。
枸杞一斤(去掉上面的蕉皮,取带皮生用的)
以上一味药,切碎,用酒三斗浸泡,冬天七天、春秋五天、夏天三天,每天服用三次,初始一合逐渐增加到二合,也可以做成散剂服用,做成丸剂服用。没有什么禁忌,只要饮酒不致醉即可。
按语:加石决明的方子在治虚劳方中。
服用菊方:
《金匮录》记载:南阳郦县山中有一个甘谷,水味甘美。之所以这样,是因为谷的上左右都生长菊花,菊花花瓣落入水中,历经世代久远,所以水的味道改变了。住在这个山谷的居民,都不凿井,都饮用谷水,喝谷水的人,无不长寿。考较最高年龄的,一百四五十岁,最低的也不失八九十岁,没有短命夭折的,这正是得益于菊花的功效。汉司空王畅、太尉刘宽、太尉袁隗,都曾担任南阳太守。每次到任,常让郦县每月运送甘水三十斛,作为饮食。这些公卿大多患有风痹及眩晕,都得以痊愈。
《大清经》记载:服用菊花延年益寿,与天地共存不死的方子:
春三月甲寅日,日中时采摘更生,更生是指菊花的初生苗。夏三月丙寅、壬子日,日中时采摘周盈,周盈一说周成,周成是指菊花的茎。秋三月庚寅日,傍晚时采摘日精,日精是指菊花的花。常在十月戊寅日清晨采摘神精。神精,一说神华,一说神英,是指菊花的果实。如果没有戊寅日,壬子日也可以使用。冬十一月、十二月壬寅日日入时采摘长生,长生是指菊花的根。另一派说:十一月没有壬寅日,壬子日也可以使用。合计这五种药,都要阴干一百天,每个月份分别取二分炼制混合后过筛。上述各月如果没有应采的日子,则使用戊寅、戊子、戊辰、壬子日。春季加神精一分,更生二分;夏季加周盈三分、长生二分;秋季加神精一分、日精二分;冬季加日精三分。常在成日合药,不要用破厄日合药,另一派也不用执日,合药时神灵不行。应当在密室中,捣丸用白松脂,如梧桐子大小,每次服用七丸,每天三次,饭后服用。服用一年,百病皆去,耳聪目明,身体轻盈益气,增寿二年;服用两年,面色光泽好,气力百倍,白发变黑,落齿重生,增寿三年;服用三年,在山中行走不接近蛇龙,鬼神不逢,兵刃不伤,飞鸟不敢从旁边飞过,增寿十三年;服用四年,通晓神明,增寿三十年;服用五年,身上生出光明,眼睛照亮昼夜,有光开梁,关节轻盈,虽然没有翅膀,意念想要飞行;服用六年,增寿三百岁;服用七年,神道欲成,增寿千岁;服用八年,目视千里,耳闻万里,增寿二千年;服用九年,神成能为金石,死后还生,增寿三千年,左边有青龙,右边有白虎,黄金为车。
服用槐子方:
《大清经》记载:槐木是虚星的精华,在十月上巳日取种子,用新瓦瓮盛装。又用一个瓮盖好密封,三七二十一天后打开,洗去皮。从初一日起服用一枚、初二日二枚、初三日三枚,如此到十日,每天增加一枚,十日服用五十五枚,一月服用一百六十五枚,一年服用一千九百八十枚,六个小月减去六十枚。此药主要秘密补脑,早服用能让头不白,面色好,长生无病。(又说阴干一百天。)
又说:阴干一百天,捣去皮取子,放在瓦器中盛装,想从一日开始每天服用一枚,十日十枚。再从一日开始满十日,更换如前法。想治疗各种平病,留饮,当食不消,胸中之气满,转下利,一次服用一合,二合痊愈,多服无毒。如果病患吃得少不要多服,会让人大便干燥难解。
又说:三虫法:取槐子不需要在上巳日取,连同皮一起捣碎做成丸,丸如杏核大,一次服用三丸,每天两次。多服、长期服用如此,可以用蜜丸治疗,延年益寿。另一派:成熟的槐子放在牛腹中,阴干一百天,做成饭。早晚各一枚。十日身体轻盈,三十天白发变黑,百日面有光,二百天奔跑的马也追不上他的速度。
服用莲实鸡头实方:
《大清经》记载:七月七日采集荷花七分,八月八日采集藕根八分,九月九日采集藕实九分,炼制混合,每次服用方寸匕,每天五次。在八月直日、戊日取莲实,九月直日、戊日取鸡头实,阴干一百天,捣碎分量相等,在直日、戊日用井花水送服方寸匕。满一百天,壮年人不老,老年人恢复壮实,益气力,养神,不饥饿,除百病,轻身延年不老,成神仙,身体颜色如莲花。
服用术方:《大清经》记载:服用术(白术),能让人身体轻盈眼睛明亮,延年益寿,面色光泽。白发变黑方:
取好的白术,刮去皮,弄干净,研末,过筛,如果用酒浆送服方寸匕,饭后服用,每天三次。经常连续服用,老人变得年轻,气力充盛。弘农人刘景伯服用它不停止,寿命六百岁。八月采收非常好。(服用术禁止吃桃子。)

The Yellow Emperor fasted at Xuanfu Mountain to visit Zhonghuang Zhi. Zhonghuang Zhi asked, "What is your occupation?" The Yellow Emperor replied, "I have now abandoned my position as the ruler of the world and wish to hear the Way of Longevity." Zhonghuang Zhi said, "You have governed the world for a long time; now you seek the Way of Longevity. Are you not greedy?" The Yellow Emperor said, "Possessing the world has indeed been long enough. Now I wish to farm for myself, dwell in secluded places, associate with birds and beasts, and no longer trouble the myriad people. However, I fear I cannot master the Dao. I dare to ask for the essentials of self-cultivation and the treasures of health preservation." Zhonghuang Zhi then sighed and said, "Your question is excellent! I will teach you the diet of the Seven Birds, which can grant longevity and preserve life in harmony with Heaven and Earth. Keep it secret; do not give it to anyone who is not virtuous. Usually, collect *Zexie* (Rhizoma Alismatis) on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. 'Zexie' refers to the additive benefit provided by the white deer, which lives for eight hundred years. Collect *Baishi* (Cupressi Fructus) on the first day of the eighth lunar month; this is the additive benefit of the monkey, which also lives for eight hundred years. Collect *Jili* (Tribuli Fructus) on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month; this is the additive benefit of the Tengshe (Flying Serpent), which lives for two thousand years. Collect *Lu* (Phragmitis Rhizoma) in the eighth month; this is the additive benefit of a certain divine beast, which lives for two thousand years. Collect *Diyi* (Plantaginis Semen/Cheqianzi) in the eighth month; this is the additive benefit of Ziling, living for one thousand years. Collect *Manjingzi* (Viticis Fructus) in the ninth month; this is the additive benefit of the White Goose, living for two thousand years. Collect *Pengbo* (Artemisiae Argyi Folium/Baihao) in the eleventh month; this is the additive benefit of the White Rabbit, living for eight hundred years. All herbs should be dried in the shade, placed in earthenware vessels, sealed and daubed with mud to prevent leakage. On the Chen day of the first lunar month, refine and mix them, then sieve. Ensure equal proportions, but use three times as many fine dates as other herbs, and one part of Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig). Place in a reed bag to prevent leakage. Take a pinch held by three fingers, decoct in water, and drink after meals. After taking it for one hundred days, hearing and vision will become sharp, night vision will improve, strength will double, and the body will become firm. Long-term use allows one's lifespan to match that of Heaven and Earth.
The *Daqing Jing* states: The Yellow Emperor's Four-Sector Powder. The Immortal Mao Jun told Li Wei, "You should take the Yellow Emperor's Four-Sector Powder formula:
Songzhi (Pini Resin), Zexie (Rhizoma Alismatis), Shuz (Atractylodis Rhizoma/Ganbai Zhu), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Yunmu (Muscovite), Ganyedi (Rehmanniae Radix), and Shishangchangpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma growing on stone).
These seven substances are carefully refined and mixed in equal parts, pounded forty thousand times, and stored in a sealed container. Do not let women, livestock, or any impure beings see it. In the morning, take three Fangcunbi (a traditional measure) with wine; water may also be used. It can also be made into honey pills. Take twenty to thirty pills the size of soybeans in the morning. This is the Divine Four-Sector Formula passed down by the Yellow Emperor to Fenghou, the Way of reversing aging and returning to youth. I received it from Master Gaoqiu and let it be transmitted.
It also says: The Queen Mother of the West's Four-Child Powder. Mao Jun told Si He, "You should take the Queen Mother's Four-Child Powder. The formula uses:
Huma (Sesamum indicum, roasted), Tiandong (Asparagi Radix), Fuling (Poria), Shuz (Atractylodis Rhizoma/Ganbai Zhu), Ganhuangjing (Polygonati Rhizoma), and Taoren (Persicae Semen, skin removed).
These six substances are carefully refined in equal parts and pounded thirty thousand times. Take three Fangcunbi with wine in the morning, twice daily. Water may also be used, or honey pills taken once daily. This is the secret Way of returning to infancy. Since Si He's bodily damage is less than Li Wei's, he is suitable for this formula. When preparing medicine, maintain purity, avoid incense, and do not prepare it in rooms mixed with others.
It also says: Huainanzi's Poria Powder. It makes the body light, boosts Qi and strength, turns white hair black, regrows lost teeth, restores sight, extends life, and rejuvenates the elderly:
Fuling (Poria, 4 liang), Shuz (Atractylodis Rhizoma/Ganbai Zhu, 4 liang), Daomi (Oryza sativa, 8 jin).
These three substances are powdered and sieved. Take one Fangcunbi, four times daily, for twenty days. After another twenty days, effects appear; after thirty days, the body feels light; after sixty days, all diseases heal; after eighty days, hair falls out and regrows. Verified: seeing brightness day and night; long-term use extends life.
It also says: The Immortal's Longevity, Deathlessness, and Agelessness Formula:
Baiguazi (Benincasae Semen, 2 fen), Gui (Cinnamomi Ramulus, 2 fen), Fuling (Poria, 4 fen), Tiandong (Asparagi Radix, 4 fen), Changpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma), Qinjiao (Sichuan Pepper, 2 fen each), Zexie (Rhizoma Alismatis), Dongkuizi (Malvae Seed, 3 fen each).
These eight substances are refined and sieved. Take one Fangcunbi after meals. After one hundred days, one may see spirits; after two hundred days, the God of Life removes one's name from the register of death; after three hundred days, one communicates with spirits; after six hundred days, one can change size and weight, create music by will, and be served by Jade Maidens. Fan Li took this medicine and appeared young at fifty; in Zhou/Qin he became white jade; in Yan/Zhao he became Tao Zhu Gong; in Wu/Chu he was Fan Li; in Han he was Dongfang Shuo; in Jiangnan he was a fisherman; Xia Zhengshu became Empress twice and Madam thrice. Such changes over five or six hundred years are excellent verifications.
It also says: The Immortal's Rejuvenation Formula:
Fuling (Poria, 2 fen), Baijuhua (Chrysanthemi Flos, 3 fen), Changpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma, 2 fen), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix, 2 fen), Renshen (Ginseng Radix, 2 fen).
These five substances are refined and sieved, formed into pills with Songzhi (Pini Resin). Take one pill the size of a chicken egg. It makes one young, sharp in hearing and vision, and beautiful. One appears like a fifteen-year-old; even at four hundred years old, one looks like a child, an achievement hard to reach. It also stops growth; to test, feed rice mixed with medicine to chicks, and they will stop growing. This is a verified secret recipe.
The *Jingui Lu* states: Wujia (Acanthopanacis Cortex) is the essence of the Five Elements. Its five leaves share a root but branch outward. Hence named 'Five,' like five neighboring families. It absorbs green mist, receiving Eastern moisture; white Qi nourishes nodes, benefiting Western fluids; red color enters flowers, containing Southern radiance; black essence enters bones, bearing Northern liquids; yellow smoke coats bark, obtaining Central Earth's grace. Those who align with these five elements ascend to immortality; those who consume it return to infancy. Lady Shan, mother of Duke Xuan of Lu, drank its wine and achieved immortality.
Another formula: Taking Wujia Powder:
Wujia (Acanthopanacis Cortex), Tiandong (Asparagi Radix), Fuling (Poria), Gui (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Jiao (Sichuan Pepper), Dongkuizi (Malvae Seed).
Six substances in equal parts, pounded and sieved. Take one Dao Gui with well water between meals, three times daily. Continue for thirty days without interruption; one may vaguely see deities; at fifty days, the God of Life removes the name from the death register; at seventy days, one communicates with spirits.
The *Daqing Jing* states: Peel Wujia, cut to one cun length, take one dou, and soak in fine wine for ten days. Drink warm, not too much. It sharpens senses, regrows teeth, turns hair black, strengthens the body, and improves complexion. Treats impotence, postpartum ailments, and promotes fertility. Use male Wujia (five leaves, sweet taste), not female (three leaves, bitter taste).
Note: Another view: Use leaves/stems in summer, roots/bark in winter. Cut one sheng, put in silk bag, soak in one dou wine. Spring/Autumn: 7 days; Summer: 5 days; Winter: 10 days. Strain and drink warm, do not get drunk. Avoid corpses and postpartum women. Eating Wujia daily is better than possessing a hundred gold vaults.
Taking Goji Formula:
The *Daqing Jing* states: Once, an envoy traveling west of the river saw a young woman beating an old man of about eighty or ninety. The envoy asked curiously. The woman replied, "This is my son's great-grandson. We have good medicine at home, and I ordered him to take it, but he refused. Now old and sick, unable to walk, so I beat him to force him to take it." The envoy got off his horse, knelt, and asked, "How old are you?" She replied, "Three hundred and seventy-three." The envoy asked, "How many kinds of medicine are there?" She said, "Only one kind, with four names: Spring is Tianjing, Summer is Gouqi, Autumn isquelao, Winter is Digug. Method: On the Yin day of the first month, take roots; on the Mao day of the second month, powder and take; on the Chen day of the third month, take stems; on the Si day of the fourth month, powder and take; on the Wu day of the fifth month, take leaves; on the Wei day of the sixth month, powder and take; on the Shen day of the seventh month, take flowers; on the You day of the eighth month, powder and take; on the Xu day of the ninth month, take fruit; on the Hai day of the tenth month, powder and take; on the Zi day of the eleventh month, take roots; on the Chou day of the twelfth month, powder and take.
The fruit is red. Powder and sieve. Put one Fangcunbi in good wine, take three times daily. Ten days: all diseases eliminated. Twenty days: body strong, Qi boosted, old men become vigorous. Over two hundred days: strength increases, walking or riding horses easily, skin like grease. Miraculous and verified, not shared for a thousand gold. (Can also be made into soup, tastes slightly like spice, greatly tonifies. *Bencao* says: Do not take Luomo or Gouqi within ten li of home, implying lack of potency for female vitality.)
No restrictions on taking Gouqi, except avoiding garlic (which kills medicinal power) and eating pork fat or lean meat while taking it.
Goji Wine: Mainly treats wind-bi fatigue, high fever, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, heavy legs, blurred vision while walking, forgetfulness, depression, rebellious Qi, headache, and dizziness. Long-term use eliminates disease, extends life, enhances intelligence, lightens the body, boosts Qi, dispels cold and heat. After one hundred days, all diseases clear, vision and hearing become acute. After three years, one rides clouds and dragons. Not shared for a thousand gold.
Goji (1 jin, remove outer peel, use fresh with skin).
Chop the herb, soak in three dou of wine. Winter: 7 days; Spring/Autumn: 5 days; Summer: 3 days. Take three times daily, starting with one he, gradually increasing to two he. Can also be taken as powder or pills. No restrictions, just avoid getting drunk.
Note: The formula with Shijueming (Haliotidis Concha) is in the Treatment of Deficiency Fatigue section.
Taking Chrysanthemum Formula:
The *Jingui Lu* states: In Lixian County, Nanyang, there is a Sweet Valley with delicious water. This is because chrysanthemums grow around the valley, and petals fall into the water. Over generations, the water's taste changed. Residents there do not dig wells but drink valley water. Those who drink it live long. The oldest reach 140-150 years, the youngest 80-90, with no premature deaths. This is due to the chrysanthemum. Wang Chang (Minister of Works), Liu Kuan (Grand Commandant), and Yuan Kui (Grand Commandant) of the Han Dynasty all served as Governors of Nanyang. Upon taking office, they had Lixian deliver thirty hu of sweet water monthly for drinking. These officials often suffered from wind-bi and dizziness, which were cured.
