恶干漆。今出邵陵者，轻薄色深为胜。出东山者，浓重而色浅。其根于道家入木芝品，
今人不知取服之。又有一种

主口疮。
〔谨案〕子柏，
一名山石榴，子似女贞，皮白不黄，亦名小柏，所在皆有。今云皮黄，恐谬矣。案今俗用子

今见用者，是其言九月采实者，恐误。其树大，连合抱高数仞，叶大于柿叶，所在皆有。实
臭，不任药也。方云去毛，用其心，然难得，而滋人面。此用花开者易得，而且香。
【柏木】
味道苦，性寒，无毒。主治五脏及肠胃中的结聚之气与热邪，黄疸，肠痔，止住泄泻和痢疾，治疗女子经血非时而下、赤白带下，以及阴阳部位的生疮溃烂。治疗惊恐之气滞留于皮间，导致肌肤发热发红起疹，眼睛红肿疼痛，口舌生疮。长期服用可通神益智。又名檀桓。其根部称为檀桓，主治口渴。长期服用可使身体轻盈，延年益寿，通神益智。
生长在汉中山谷及永昌地区。
忌与干漆同用。现在出产于邵陵的，以质地轻薄、颜色深者为优。出产于东山的，质地浓重而颜色浅。其根在道家分类中属于“木芝”品类，但如今人们不知道采集服用它。又有一种小树，形状像石榴树。它的树皮黄色且味苦，俗称为子柏，也主治口疮。又一种小树，多刺，树皮也是黄色的，同样主治口疮。
〔谨案〕子柏，又名山石榴，果实类似女贞子，树皮白色不黄，也叫做小柏，各地都有生长。现在所说的树皮黄色，恐怕是错误的。查考现今民间使用的子柏，都是多刺的小树，名叫刺柏，并非小柏。
【辛荑】
味道辛，性温，无毒。主治五脏及身体受风寒侵袭，头风痛，脑痛，面部浮肿，温暖中焦解除肌表之邪，通畅九窍，治疗鼻塞流涕，疗治面部肿胀牵引牙齿疼痛、眩晕、昏冒，以及身体摇晃不定如同坐在车船上的感觉。促进须发生长，去除白虫（肠道寄生虫）。长期服用可降气、使身体轻盈，明目，增加寿命，延缓衰老。可以制作膏药使用，使用时需去掉中心部分及外面的绒毛，因为绒毛射入肺部，会引起咳嗽。又名辛矧，又名喉桃，又名房木。生长在汉中川谷地区。九月采集果实，晒干。
以芎䓖为引经药，忌与五石脂同用，畏菖蒲、蒲黄、黄连、石膏、黄环。现在出产于丹阳附近道路旁，形状像桃子，是当地人所称呼的辛荑。
〔谨案〕这是树木花朵未开放时采收的，正月、二月是采集的好时节。
现在见到的用法，说是九月采集果实，恐怕有误。这种树很大，树干粗壮合抱，高达数仞，叶子比柿树叶大，各地都有生长。果实有臭味，不适合入药。方书中说去掉绒毛，只用花心，然而很难得到，而且容易使人面部滋生痤疮。现在使用的是花开时的花朵，容易获得，而且香气浓郁。
[Platycladus Orientalis Wood]
Taste: Bitter. Nature: Cold. Toxicity: Non-toxic. Indications: Treats stagnant Qi and heat in the five Zang organs and intestines/stomach, jaundice, intestinal hemorrhoids, stops diarrhea and dysentery, treats leukorrhea (abnormal vaginal discharge) with red or white discharge in women, and sores on the yin and yang regions. Treats frightful Qi lodged between the skin and muscles, causing hot, red, and raised skin eruptions; hot, red, and painful eyes; and mouth ulcers. Long-term consumption promotes spiritual clarity. Another name: Tan Huan. Root: Named Tan Huan, treats thirst. Long-term consumption lightens the body, extends life, and promotes spiritual clarity.
Habitat: Mountain valleys in Hanzhong and Yongchang.
Contraindications: Incompatible with Dried Lacquer (Gan Qi). Current varieties from Shaoling are superior if thin/light and dark-colored. Varieties from Dongshan are dense/heavy and pale-colored. Its root is classified as "Wood Mushroom" (Mu Zhi) in Daoist pharmacopeia, but people nowadays do not know to collect and consume it. There is another small tree resembling Pomegranate (Shi Liu). Its bark is yellow and bitter, commonly called Zi Bai, also treating mouth ulcers. Another small tree is very thorny, with yellow bark, also treating mouth ulcers.
[Note]: Zi Bai, also known as Shan Shi Liu, has fruits similar to Ligustrum lucidum (Nv Zhen), white non-yellow bark, and is also called Xiao Bai, found everywhere. The description of yellow bark is likely erroneous. Examining current folk usage, "Zi Bai" refers to thorny small trees named Ci Bai (Juniperus formosana), not Xiao Bai.
[Xin Yi / Magnolia Flower]
Taste: Acrid (Pungent). Nature: Warm. Toxicity: Non-toxic. Indications: Treats wind-cold invading the five Zang organs and body, head wind pain, brain pain, facial swelling, warms the middle Jiao and releases the muscle layer, unblocks the nine orifices, treats nasal congestion with rhinorrhea, facial swelling radiating toothache, dizziness, vertigo, and a sensation of swaying as if on a boat or carriage. Promotes growth of beard and hair, removes Ascaris lumbricoides (white worms). Long-term consumption directs Qi downward, lightens the body, brightens the eyes, increases lifespan, and delays aging. Can be used for plasters. Preparation: Remove the center and outer hairs; hairs entering the lungs cause coughing. Other names: Xin Shen, Hou Tao, Fang Mu. Habitat: River valleys in Hanzhong. Harvest: Collect fruits in September, dry in sun.
Interactions: Guided by Xiong Qiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong); incompatible with Wu Shi Zhi (Five Minerals Clay); adverse reaction with Chang Pu, Pu Huang, Huang Lian, Shi Gao, Huang Huan. Current variety from near Danyang resembles peaches, locally called Xin Ti.
[Note]: This material is collected when the flower buds have not yet opened; January and February are good times for collection. The statement that fruits are collected in September is likely an error. The tree is large, trunk girth exceeding one embrace, height several ren (ancient unit), leaves larger than Persimmon leaves, found everywhere. The fruit smells foul and is unsuitable for medicine. Formulas state to remove hairs and use the heart, which is hard to obtain and may cause acne on the face. Currently, open flowers are used, which are easy to obtain and fragrant.
