【冬葵】是五种蔬菜中的主菜。秋季播种且生长较早的,到了春天结籽,称为冬葵。它的中心部分有毒,会伤害人体,性质寒凉,如果热食也会引起冷热交争、胸闷气短,甚至引发风邪。生吃冻过的冬葵,会引发五种瘤饮病,严重时会导致呕吐清水。与鲤鱼同食会危害人体。四季都不宜生吃冬葵,因为它难以消化,会诱发人所有的旧疾;服用各种药物期间也应忌食冬葵,否则会导致发狂。狗咬过的吴葵(又名蜀葵)不可食用,它会使人意志迟钝;如果被狗咬伤后吃了它,病情将永远无法痊愈。食用戌葵并配合鸟肉,会使面色无华。
【生葱】如果吃生葱后立即吃蜂蜜,会导致痢疾。吃烧熟的葱再吃蜂蜜,会导致气机壅滞而死。与白犬肉同食,会导致九窍出血。患病者多吃容易使气机上冲,导致五脏闭塞衰竭,虚弱者的胃会受损,骨节开泄。正月吃葱,会引发面部的游风(游走性风疹)。总的来说,葱的功效在于发汗,但吃得过多会让人神志昏沉。
【胡葱】长期食用会损伤精神和本性,导致多忘、视力减退,诱发顽固性疾病。有狐臭或龋齿的人食用后症状会加重。与青鱼同食会在体内生出寄生虫。

【葫(大蒜)】就是大蒜。长期食用会伤肝、损目、减弱阳气。煮熟后与青鱼鲜味混合,会导致皮肤发黄。做成蒜泥食用,会损害生命。只有生吃才符合烹饪之道。暑毒发作时,嚼烂生蒜咽下即可痊愈,但仍需禁止喝冷水。四月和八月吃蒜,会损伤精神和胆气,导致气喘、气急,腹部内生疮疡肿物甚至疝气瘕积。多吃蒜后进行房事,会伤肝,导致面色无光。北方人禀赋浓厚且习惯食用,所以生病较少。
【小蒜】不可经常食用。如果吃了小蒜又吃生鱼,会掠夺正气,导致阴囊剧烈疼痛欲死。三月不宜食用,会损伤意志。时令病刚愈时,吃完小蒜等食物立即行房,发病必死无疑。
【胡荽(香菜)】即荞子。长期食用令人多忘,狐臭、口臭、龋齿、脚气症状会加剧,其根会诱发顽固性疾病。

【菠菜】北方人食用,面色肌肉会变得平和。南方人吃鱼米,食用后会寒凉大小肠。长期食用会导致脚冷腰痛。
【木耳】多吃性质滑利,会引发痔疮,引动疫气,因为上面含有水银的缘故。七月蜡虫附着在上面,食用会导致霍乱,不要食用。
【芹菜】生长在高山田地的适合人食用。黑滑地名产的水芹呈赤色的,对人有害,性寒,与醋同食会损伤牙齿。春秋季节龙带精液进入芹菜中,偶然食用,会导致手青肚胀,疼痛难忍。服用二三斤沙糖,吐出蜥蜴即可痊愈。
【莴苣】长期食用,人会眼睛昏花。白莴苣冷气重,人食用后腹部寒冷,产后不可食用,以免寒中。与饴糖同食,会生出寄生虫。苦苣不可与蜂蜜同食。
【黄瓜】本名胡瓜,不益于人。患有脚气虚肿的人,体内的毒水无法清除。
【越瓜】颜色白色,动气发疮,导致脚弱,不利于小儿。时令病后勿食,与乳酪及空腹食用,会导致心痛。
【冬瓜】多吃,阴部潮湿生疮,发黄胆,九月不要吃被霜打的瓜,入冬后会引发血寒热及恶病。初次食用后呕吐干净,心下停水,或者成为翻胃。有寒气的人食用会变瘦。瓜能暗人眼睛,尤其不适合老人。中了瓜的毒,到秋天会变成疟疾痢疾。一切苦瓜都有毒。有两个蒂两个鼻孔的瓜害人。
【瓠子】性质寒凉,人食用后病情加重,大量消耗食欲。患有脚气虚肿的人食用,毒气永远无法清除。
【葫芦】多吃会导致呕吐。
【芋】名为土芝,有紫色和白色两种,冬天食用不发病,其他月份人不适宜食用。
【薯蓣(山药)】也有紫色和白色,比芋头更好。有小而名为山药的更佳。
【木耳】性质寒凉,人少量食用。曾经有个患痨病的人,自认为没救了,此物不忌口。邻居除去了木耳,求取美味,于是多吃,竟然痊愈了。有几个患腮痈的人,我教导他们多吃这个面食也痊愈了。
【生姜】九月九日勿食,伤神损寿。干姜,孕妇多吃,会导致内消(流产或胎动不安)。
【菌类】地上生长的是菌,木上生长的是糯,而木耳属于蕈类。新长的蕈类如果有毛、下面没有纹路、皎洁有光泽、煮不熟、想烂却无虫、煮干后照人无影、春夏季有恶虫毒蛇经过的,都会杀人。误食毒菌,往往笑不止而死。只有挖掘地为坎,投入水中搅拌取清者饮用解毒。菌,楮树、槐树、榆树、柳树、桑树这五棵树的耳(菌)可食。冬春无毒树木生长的习亦不宜多吃,像前面所说的那些都会杀人。还有红色向上而不覆盖的,以及生长在野田中的都有毒,还会引发冷气风痔,多睡无力。
【甘露子】不宜生食,不可多吃,生吃会长寸白虫(绦虫)。与鱼同食会生翻胃病。
【莳萝根】曾经有人食用致死。
[Winter Okra] It is the primary vegetable among the five vegetables. Those sown in autumn and maturing early are called "Dongkui" (Winter Okra) when they produce seeds in spring. Its core contains poison that harms the human body; its nature is cold. Consuming it hot can cause a conflict between cold and heat, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, and may even stir up wind pathogens. Eating frozen Dongkui raw can induce five types of tumor-like fluid retention diseases, and in severe cases, vomiting of clear water. Consuming it with carp is harmful to humans. One should not eat raw Dongkui in any season, as it is difficult to digest and can trigger all kinds of chronic diseases. It should be avoided while taking various medicines, otherwise it may cause madness. Wu Kui (also known as Shu Kui) bitten by dogs is inedible; it dulls one's mental faculties. If consumed after being bitten by a dog, the condition will never heal. Consuming Xu Kui along with bird meat results in a lackluster complexion.
[Raw Scallion/Garlic Chives] Eating raw scallions followed immediately by honey causes dysentery. Eating roasted scallions followed by honey causes qi stagnation leading to death. Consuming it with white dog meat causes bleeding from the nine orifices. For those who are ill, excessive consumption easily causes qi to rush upward, leading to the closure and failure of the five zang organs, damaging the stomach of weak individuals, and causing the bone joints to open. Eating scallions in the first lunar month triggers migratory wind on the face. Generally, its function is to induce sweating, but excessive consumption causes mental confusion.
[Scallion/Hu Cong] Long-term consumption damages spirit and nature, causing forgetfulness and vision loss, and triggering stubborn diseases. Symptoms such as bromhidrosis (fox odor) and dental caries worsen upon consumption. Eating it with green fish causes parasites to grow in the body.
[Chinese Chive/Jiu Cai] Commonly known as "Grass Stalactite." Patients may consume it, but excessive intake causes mental confusion and dimmed vision. It is especially taboo after drinking alcohol. It must not be eaten with honey. Unsprouted chives are called "Jiu Huang" (Yellow Chives) and do not benefit human qi. The flower stirs up wind; it should not be eaten after the Qingming Festival as it is detrimental to patients, exacerbating conditions of chronic cold in the heart and abdomen. Frost-exposed chives are inedible as they stir up retained fluids leading to vomiting of water. Eating chives in the fifth lunar month impairs taste and strength, and it should not be eaten with beef. Ten days after suffering from a warm disease, it should not be eaten as it induces lethargy. Scallions are also unsuitable.
[Allium macrostemon/Xie] It makes fat people healthy. Eating it raw induces rhinorrhea and salivation; eating it with beef forms jia masses (abdominal lumps). One should not eat Xie in the fourth lunar month. Eating it raw in winter leads to excessive rhinorrhea and expectoration.
[Garlic/Hu] This refers to garlic. Long-term consumption damages the liver, eyes, and weakens yang. Cooking it with fresh green fish causes yellowing of the skin. Eating it as a paste/minced preparation harms life. Only raw consumption is appropriate. Chewing raw garlic and swallowing it cures summer-toxicity, but cold water must still be prohibited. Eating garlic in the fourth and eighth lunar months damages spirit and gallbladder, causing asthma,急促 breathing, and internal abscesses or hernias. Having sexual intercourse after eating much garlic damages the liver and causes a lackluster complexion. Northerners have strong constitutions and are accustomed to eating it, so they fall ill less often.
[Small Garlic/Xiao Suan] It should not be eaten regularly. Eating it followed by raw fish depletes qi, causing excruciating pain in the testicles. It should not be eaten in the third lunar month as it damages willpower. After recovering from an epidemic disease, having sexual intercourse immediately after eating it leads to certain death upon relapse.
[Cilantro/Hu Sui] Also known as Qiao Zi. Long-term consumption causes forgetfulness. Bromhidrosis, halitosis, dental caries, and tinea pedis (athlete's foot) worsen. The root triggers stubborn diseases.
[Polygonum/Sophora Sprouts/Liao Zi] These are sprouts grown by soaking in water. Excessive consumption causes vomiting of water, damages yang, reduces essence, causes heart pain, alternating cold and fever, and bone damage. Eating them in the second lunar month damages the kidneys. Eating them with raw fish depletes yin qi, causing excruciating testicular pain.
[Daylily/Xuan Cao] Also known as Wang You (Forget-Worry). When tender, it is harvested as a wild vegetable. Eating it stirs up wind, making one feel dizzy and intoxicated all day, which is how it got its name.
[Napa Cabbage/Song] It triggers various wind-cold conditions. It does not cause illness in people with heat constitutions due to its cold nature.
[Qin/Celery-like Vegetable] Excessive consumption stirs up wind and triggers Dan Shi toxicity. Eating it with rabbit meat creates malignant diseases.
[Rutabaga/Wu Qing] Also known as Man Qing. The root should not be eaten in large quantities as it causes abdominal distension. Oil pressed from its seeds applied to the head promotes hair growth.
[Radish/Lai Fu] People with weak constitution should not eat it in excess. Raw radishes seep into human blood.
[Raw Green Vegetables] Eating these after recovering from an epidemic disease causes hands to turn blue and swell.
All vegetables should not be eaten on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, as this triggers hundred diseases.
All vegetables should be cooked before eating.

[Irish Moss/Lu Jiao Cai] Long-term consumption triggers chronic diseases, damages meridians, and reduces complexion radiance.
[Spinach/Bo Luo Cai] Northerners eating it find their flesh and complexion becoming peaceful. Southerners eating fish and rice find it cooling to the small and large intestines. Long-term consumption causes cold feet and lower back pain.
[Mushroom/Mu Er] Excessive consumption has a slippery nature and triggers hemorrhoids, drawing in epidemic qi due to the presence of mercury on it. In the seventh lunar month, if wax insects attach to it, eating it causes cholera; do not eat it.
[Celery/Qin Cai] Those growing in high fields are suitable for human consumption. Water celery from Heihua Di place that is red is harmful and cold-natured; eating it with vinegar damages teeth. In spring and autumn, dragons deposit essence into celery; accidental consumption causes blue hands, abdominal fullness, and unbearable pain. Taking two or three jin of rock sugar and vomiting out a lizard brings recovery.
[Bitter Vegetable/Ku Cai] Daily consumption benefits the heart; silkworm farmers should avoid it.

Cold-type individuals eating it become thin. Melons can darken vision, especially unsuitable for the elderly. Poisoning from melons leads to malaria and dysentery by autumn. All bitter melons are toxic. Melons with two stems and two noses harm humans.
[Bottle Gourd/Hu Zi] Cold-natured; eating it worsens illness and greatly consumes appetite. For those with tinea pedis and vacuous swelling, the toxin is never eliminated.
[Gourd/Hu Lu] Excessive consumption causes vomiting.
[Taro/Yu] Named Tu Zhi, available in purple and white varieties. Eating it in winter does not cause illness; it is not suitable for others to eat in other months.
[Yam/Shu Yu] Also available in purple and white, superior to taro. Small ones named Shan Yao are best.
[Mushroom/Mu Er] Cold-natured; humans should eat it sparingly. Once, a patient with tuberculosis believed he had no hope, but this food was not restricted.

New fungi with hairs, without gills underneath, shiny/bright, uncooked after boiling, rotting but worm-free, dried boiled ones casting no shadow, passed over by poisonous insects/snakes in spring/summer, all kill humans. Accidental ingestion of toxic fungi often leads to death from uncontrollable laughter. The antidote is digging a pit, pouring water, stirring, and drinking the clear supernatant. Fungi from Five Trees (Paper Mulberry, Locust, Elm, Willow, Mulberry) ears are edible. Fungi from non-toxic trees in winter/spring should also not be eaten in excess. As mentioned before, those described kill humans. Red ones pointing up but not covering, and those growing in wild fields are toxic; they also trigger cold qi, wind hemorrhoids, excessive sleepiness, and weakness.
