发明 难产取弓弩弦缚腰及烧弩牙，纳酒中饮之，皆取发机快疾之义。时珍曰∶弓弩弦
催生，取其速疾也。折弓弦止血，取其断绝也。
蒲席
发明 蒲性本寒，加以为扇，至败。汗渍日久，咸寒相济，故用以烧灰，和粉扑身，取
扇动招风止汗之义。败蒲席取久卧者，烧灰酒服二钱。治坠仆恶血，同蒲黄、当归、赤芍、
朴硝煎汤调服。汗乃血液，沾濡日久，用以烧灰，同气相感之应也。
苦辛寒小毒。
发明 油性熬之愈寒，灯油得火气最深，故取以治卒中风不省，喉痹痰厥，用鹅翎蘸扫
喉中，涌吐顽痰，通其上逆，然后用药。
发明 炊单布受甑热气最多，故用以治汤火熏蒸，面目浮肿。烧末敷之即消，以类相感

平无毒。
发明 败鼓皮专主蛊毒。取其形空而声响远振也。烧作屑，水和服之，病患即唤蛊主姓
名，往呼本主，取蛊即瘥。梅师云，凡中蛊毒或下血如鹅肝，或吐血，或心腹切痛如有物咬

败鼓皮烧灰，酒服方寸匕，须臾自呼蛊主姓名。《外台秘要》云∶治蛊取败鼓皮，广五寸、

发明：难产时采用弓弩弦绑缚腰部，或将弩牙烧红后放入酒中饮用，都是取用其发射机关快速敏捷的含义。李时珍说：弓弩弦用于催生，是取其速度迅疾之意；折断弓弦用于止血，是取其断绝之意。
蒲席
发明：蒲草的性质本属寒凉，制成扇子后，因日久被汗渍浸染，咸味与寒性相互结合，所以将其烧成灰，混合米粉扑在身上，取扇动招风以止汗的含义。败蒲席应选用久卧过的，烧成灰后用酒送服二钱。用于治疗跌打损伤引起的恶血，可与蒲黄、当归、赤芍、朴硝一起煎汤调服。汗液属于血液的津液部分，沾染日久，将其烧成灰使用，是同气相感应的原理。
发明：漆具有散血的功效。因此用燃烧漆产生的烟来治疗产后血晕，熏蒸后即可苏醒。此外还能杀灭各种虫类。
（漆）味苦辛，性寒，有小毒。
发明：桐油经过熬制后性质更寒，灯油吸收了最深的地火之气，因此取用它来治疗突然中风不省人事、喉痹痰厥，用鹅毛管蘸取涂抹扫拭喉咙，涌吐顽痰，疏通上逆之气，然后再用药治疗。
发明：炊单布受蒸笼热气最多，因此用来治疗汤火烫伤熏蒸导致的面目浮肿。烧成末敷用即可消退，这是以类相感的原理。《金匮要略》治疗坠马造成的一切筋骨损伤，也使用它。青布烧成灰后用蜜调匀，敷治热毒疮疡效果显著。
（青布）平性，无毒。
发明：败鼓皮专门主治蛊毒。取用它是因其形状中空且声音能远振。烧成碎屑，用水调服，患者就会呼唤出蛊主的姓名，前往呼唤本主，捉住蛊虫病即痊愈。梅师说，凡是中蛊毒或下血如鹅肝状，或吐血，或心腹剧烈疼痛如有物咬噬，如果不立即治疗，蛊虫会吃人五脏致死。想知道是否是蛊毒，只需让患者将唾液吐入水中，下沉的是蛊毒，上浮的就不是。用败鼓皮烧成灰，用酒送服一方寸匕的量，片刻后患者自然会呼唤出蛊主的姓名。《外台秘要》说：治疗蛊毒取败鼓皮，宽五寸、长一尺，蔷薇根五寸，粗细如拇指，加水一升、酒三升，煮至二升服用，排出蛊毒即愈。
Invention: For difficult labor, bowstrings are tied around the waist, or the arrowhead of a crossbow is heated red and placed in wine for drinking. These methods all take advantage of the meaning of "rapid and swift release of the mechanism." Li Shizhen stated: Bowstrings used to induce labor derive their efficacy from swiftness; breaking bowstrings to stop bleeding derives its efficacy from severance.
Rush Mat
Invention: The nature of rush (Pu) is originally cold. When made into fans, they become deteriorated over time. Soaked by sweat for long periods, the salty and cold properties combine. Therefore, burning them to ash and mixing with powder to apply to the body takes the meaning of fanning to attract wind and stop sweating. Deteriorated rush mats should be those that have been slept on for a long time, burned to ash, and taken with wine in a dose of two qian. It treats blood stasis resulting from falls and trauma, and can be administered by decocting together with Puhuang (Pollen Typhae), Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis), Chishao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra), and Puxiao (Natrii Sulfas), then mixed with the decoction. Sweat is a fluid derived from blood; having been soaked for a long time, burning it to ash utilizes the principle of resonance between similar energies.
Invention: Lacquer (Qi) disperses blood. Therefore, smoke from burning lacquer is used to treat postpartum blood syncope; fumigation leads to immediate recovery. It also kills various insects.
(Lacquer) Bitter, pungent, cold, slightly toxic.
Invention: Tung oil becomes colder when boiled. Lamp oil absorbs the deepest earth-fire energy. Thus, it is used to treat sudden stroke with loss of consciousness, throat obstruction (Houbi), and phlegm syncope. Using a goose feather quill to dip and sweep the throat induces vomiting of stubborn phlegm, unblocking the rebellious upward flow, after which medication is administered.
Invention: Cooking cloth (Chuandan Bu) absorbs the most steam heat from steamers. Therefore, it is used to treat facial and ocular edema caused by scalds and burns. Applying the powdered ash causes immediate resolution, based on the principle of similarity induction. *Jin Gui Yao Lue* also uses it for all bone and tendon injuries resulting from falling off horses. Green cloth burned to ash and mixed with honey is effective for applying to heat-toxin sores.
(Green Cloth) Neutral, non-toxic.
Invention: Deteriorated drum skin (Bai Gupi) specifically treats Gu poison. Its use is based on its hollow shape and resonant sound. Burned into fragments and taken with water, the patient will call out the name of the Gu master. One must then go call the original owner; capturing the Gu leads to cure. Master Mei stated: Whenever one suffers from Gu poisoning, or passes blood resembling goose liver, or vomits blood, or experiences severe abdominal pain as if being bitten, failure to treat immediately results in death as the Gu consumes the five zang organs. To determine if it is Gu, have the patient spit saliva into water; what sinks is Gu, what floats is not. Use deteriorated drum skin burned to ash, taken with wine in a dose of one cun bi (square inch spoonful). Within moments, the patient will naturally call out the Gu master's name. *Waitai Miyao* states: To treat Gu, take deteriorated drum skin, 5 cun wide and 1 chi long; Rose root (Qiangweigen), 5 cun long and thick as a thumb; add 1 sheng of water and 3 sheng of wine, boil down to 2 sheng, and drink. Expelling the Gu poison leads to recovery.
