炼同硫汞。能燥湿以提脓。功并埽盆。可劫痰而破积。杀虫治疥诸般治。毒烈辛温
外用长。（银朱用水银硫黄升炼而成。与轻粉之性寒温略异。而主治却又相同。其燥烈升散
较猛。长于外治。不宜内服耳。）
\r禹余粮\pq127.bmp\r
入阳明血分有功。治利镇虚。崩带并疗能固下。秉太乙土精无毒。色黄质重。甘平
兼涩性中和。（禹余粮出山谷池泽间。乃石中黄粉或土之未成石者。其质重。其色黄。其味
甘涩。其性微寒。为手足阳明血分镇固之药也。）
\r代赭石\pq128.bmp\r
噫痞能除。用治虚邪重以镇。心肝并入。堪清血分苦而寒。（代赭石出代郡山谷间
。一云山上有赭。山下有铁。故此石似有铁形。其主治不过重以镇虚。寒能除热。色赤入营
。为手足厥阴之药耳。）
\r砒石\pq129a1.bmp\r
热毒且刚。能燥痰而作吐。辛酸兼苦。可截疟以除哮。枯痔杀虫。腐疮蚀肉。（砒石
出信州。乃锡之苗。一云近铜山处亦有之。夫地之生石也。禀赋有良毒之不齐。出产有寒温
之各异。昆虫草木皆然。不独石也。砒石大热大毒。经火 为霜。则其性更烈。虽有内外诸
方。皆劫疾之功用。取速效。然总不可乱投。致生祸患。）
\r石蟹\pq129a.bmp\r
性味咸寒善解热。点摩翳障并催生。（石蟹生南海。即寻常之蟹。在石穴中年深月久
。与水沫相结。即化为石。近海州郡皆有之。咸寒质重之性。故主治如上。）
炼制方法与硫、汞相同。能够燥湿以提脓，功效与轻粉相当。可以劫痰而破积滞，杀虫治疗疥疮等各种病症。其性毒烈、辛温，主要用于外用。（银朱由水银和硫黄升炼而成。其药性与轻粉的寒温略有不同，但主治功效却相同。它的燥烈升散之性更为猛烈，擅长外治，不宜内服。）
禹余粮
进入阳明血分有功，治疗痢疾、镇固虚损，崩漏带下都能治疗并固摄下部。禀受太乙土的精气，无毒，颜色黄、质地重，味甘平兼有涩性，性质中和。（禹余粮出产于山谷池泽之间，是石中的黄粉或是未成石的泥土。它的质地重，颜色黄，味道甘涩，性质微寒，是手足阳明经血分中用于镇固的药物。）
代赭石
能消除嗳气和痞满，用于治疗虚邪时需用重剂以镇潜。入心、肝二经，能够清除血分的苦热。（代赭石出产于代郡的山谷间，有人说山上有色赤如赭的土，山下有铁，所以这种石头似有铁的形状。它的主治作用不过是重镇虚损，寒性能除热，色赤入营分，是手足厥阴经的药物。）
砒石
热毒且刚烈，能燥痰并引起呕吐。味辛、酸兼苦，可以截断疟疾并消除哮喘，枯痔杀虫，腐蚀疮疡、蚀去腐肉。（砒石出产于信州，是锡的矿苗，也有人说靠近铜山的地方也有。大地生成石头，禀赋有良毒的不同，出产有寒温的差异，昆虫草木都是如此，不独石头是这样。砒石大热大毒，经过火炼变成霜后，其性质更加猛烈。虽然有内外各种方剂使用，都是利用其劫夺病邪的功效，追求速效，然而总不可乱投，以免产生祸患。）
石蟹
性味咸寒，善于解热，点涂或按摩可去除翳障并催生。（石蟹生于南海，就是寻常的螃蟹，在石穴中经过年深月久，与水沫相结合，就化为石头。近海的州郡都有。因其咸寒质重的性质，所以主治如上所述。）
Refined in the same manner as cinnabar (Zhusha, 朱砂) with sulfur and mercury. It can dry dampness to promote pus discharge, with efficacy comparable to Mercurii Subchloridum (Qingfen, 轻粉). It can subdue phlegm and break up accumulations, kill parasites, and treat various conditions such as scabies. Its toxicity is potent, nature acrid and warm, primarily used for external application. (Yinzhu (Silver Cinnabar, 银朱) is produced by sublimating mercury and sulfur. Its properties differ slightly from Qingfen (Mercurii Subchloridum, 轻粉) regarding cold/heat nature, yet their therapeutic indications are similar. Its drying, acrid, ascending, and dispersing actions are more vigorous, making it suitable for external treatment but not for internal use.)
Yuyuliang (Hematitum Rubrum, 禹余粮)
It benefits the blood level of the Yangming channel. It treats dysentery and stabilizes deficiency; it can manage metrorrhagia and leukorrhea, securing the lower jiao. It embodies the essence of Taiyi Earth, is non-toxic, yellow in color, heavy in texture, sweet and neutral in taste with astringent properties, and possesses a balanced nature. (Yuyuliang (Hematitum Rubrum, 禹余粮) is found in valleys and marshes; it is yellow powder within stones or soil that has not yet turned to stone. Its texture is heavy, color yellow, taste sweet and astringent, and nature slightly cold. It is a drug for stabilizing and anchoring the blood level of the Foot and Hand Yangming channels.)
Daizheshi (Haematitum, 代赭石)
It eliminates belching and epigastric fullness; when treating deficient pathogenic factors, it must be used in heavy doses to anchor. It enters the Heart and Liver channels, capable of clearing bitter heat from the blood level. (Daizheshi (Haematitum, 代赭石) is found in the valleys of Dai Commandery. Some say there is red earth like ochre on the mountain and iron below, hence the stone resembles iron in form. Its main action is merely to anchor deficiency with heaviness and clear heat with coldness. Being red, it enters the Ying level, serving as a drug for the Foot and Hand Jueyin channels.)
Pishi (Realgar, 砒石 - *Note: Historically Pishi often referred to Realgar or Orpiment, here described as arsenic compound*)
Its heat and toxicity are rigid and fierce; it can dry phlegm and induce vomiting. With acrid, sour, and bitter flavors, it can arrest malaria and relieve asthma, wither hemorrhoids, kill parasites, and corrode sores and flesh. (Pishi (Arsenic Trioxide, 砒石) originates from Xinzhou; it is the "seed" of tin. Others say it is also found near copper mountains. The earth generates stones with varying innate qualities of good/poisonous and origins of cold/warmth; this applies to insects, plants, and trees, not just stones. Pishi is extremely hot and toxic. After being calcined into frost, its nature becomes even more violent. Although used in various internal and external formulas for its rapid effect in expelling pathogens, it must never be administered recklessly to avoid disaster.)
Shixie (Calcar Hominis / Crab Stone, 石蟹)
Its nature and flavor are salty and cold, excellent for resolving heat. Applied topically or massaged, it removes ocular nebulae and facilitates childbirth. (Shixie (Crab Stone, 石蟹) grows in the South Sea; it is an ordinary crab. After many years in rock crevices, combining with water foam, it turns to stone. It is found in coastal prefectures. Due to its salty, cold, and heavy nature, its therapeutic effects are as described above.)
