青纸主治妒精疮，用唾液粘贴数日即可痊愈，且能保护疼痛部位，存放时间越久效果越好。其表面含有青黛，具有杀虫解毒的功效（出自《本草纲目》）。
桐油伞纸主治蛀干阴疮，将其烧成灰后需去火毒，一夜之后敷于患处，便可结痂（出自《本草纲目》）。【配合治疗】（据《医方捷径》记载）治疗疔疮发汗，使用千年锻石炒制十分、旧黑伞纸烧灰一分。每次取一小匙，先加入少量醋水，再倾入少许香油，调入药末搅匀，再用一盏沸汤调服。服药后用厚被子覆盖，约一个时辰后可大汗出。
历日主治邪疟不止（出自《本草纲目》）。【名称】（李时珍说）太昊开始制作历日，是有书籍记载的（见《礼记》），十二月天子向诸侯颁布朔日政令。【治疗】（据《卫生易简方》）治疗邪疟，使用隔年的完整历书，在端午午时烧成灰，糊丸如梧桐子大小。在大发作日的早晨，用无根水送服五十丸。
钟馗主治辟邪止疟（出自《本草纲目》）。【典故】（据《逸史》记载）唐高祖时期，钟馗应试不第，触阶而死。后来明皇梦见小鬼偷玉笛，一大鬼戴着破帽、穿着蓝袍捉住小鬼并吃掉它。皇上问他是谁，他回答说：“我是终南山进士钟馗，承蒙赐袍带安葬，发誓要铲除天下虚耗之鬼。”于是命吴道子绘制图像传遍天下。【治疗】（据《杨起简便方》）治疗妇人难产，用钟馗左脚烧成灰，用水服用。【配合治疗】（据《圣济录》记载）治疗鬼疟来去不定，画有钟馗的纸烧成灰二钱，阿魏、砒霜、丹砂各一皂子大，研为细末，用寒食面和丸如小豆大。每次服用一丸，发病时用冷水送下。需在正月十五日、五月初五日配制。【伪误辨析】（李时珍说）谨按《尔雅》中说“中馗”是菌的名称（《考工记注》说）“终葵”是椎子的名称。菌形状像椎子，椎子形状像菌，所以获得相同的称呼。世俗画中神灵拿着一个椎子击鬼，所以也名叫中馗。好事者因此创作了钟馗的传说，传言他是未中进士却能吃鬼的人，遂成为故事。不知道这是讹误了。
Qingzhi (Blue Paper) is indicated for du jing chuang (venereal sores caused by jealousy/infidelity). It should be applied with saliva and left for several days to heal, while also protecting the painful area; the longer it is stored, the better. It contains Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis), which has insecticidal and detoxifying properties (Bencao Gangmu / Compendium of Materia Medica).
Tongyou Sanzhi (Tung Oil Umbrella Paper) is indicated for zhu gan yin chuang (ulcers on dry wood or genital areas due to worm-like erosion). Burn it to ash, eliminate its fire toxicity, apply it overnight, and a scab will form (Bencao Gangmu / Compendium of Materia Medica). [Combined Treatment] (According to Yifang Jingjie / Quick Guide to Medical Formulas): To induce sweating in Ding chuang (carbuncles/furuncles), use Qian Nian Duan Shi (Calcined Stone from a Thousand Years) stir-fried for 10 parts and Jiu Hei Sanzhi (Old Black Umbrella Paper) burnt to ash for 1 part. Take one small spoonful each time. First add a little vinegar water, then pour in a little sesame oil, mix well with the powder, and take with one cup of boiling water. Cover with a thick quilt; after one shichen (two hours), profuse sweating will occur.
Liri (Almanac/Calendar) is indicated for xie nue (stubborn malaria that does not cease) (Bencao Gangmu / Compendium of Materia Medica). [Name] (Li Shizhen says): Taihao was the first to create almanacs, as recorded in books (see Liji / Book of Rites), where the Son of Heaven issued the new moon calendar to feudal lords in the twelfth month. [Treatment] (According to Weisheng Yijian Fang / Simple Formula for Health Preservation): For treating xie nue, use a complete almanac from the previous year, burn it to ash at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival (Duanwu), make pills with paste the size of wutong seeds. On the day of severe发作 (attack), take 50 pills early in the morning delivered with Wugen Shui (water without roots/source, e.g., dew or rainwater).
Zhong Kui is indicated for repelling evil and stopping malaria (Bencao Gangmu / Compendium of Materia Medica). [Origin] (According to Yishi / Records of Anecdotes): During the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Zhong Kui failed the imperial examination and struck his head against a step to death. Later, Emperor Minghuang dreamed of a little ghost stealing a jade flute, and a great ghost wearing a torn hat and blue robe catching and eating the little ghost. The Emperor asked who he was, and he replied: "I am Zhong Kui, a Jinshi from Zhongnan Mountain. Having been granted robes and belts for my burial, I vowed to eradicate all wasting ghosts in the world." Thus, Emperor Minghuang ordered Wu Daozi to paint his image and spread it throughout the world. [Treatment] (According to Yangqi Jianbian Fang / Convenient Formulas by Yang Qi): For treating difficult childbirth in women, burn the left foot of Zhong Kui to ash and take with water. [Combined Treatment] (According to Shengji Lu / Record of Holy Relief): For treating gui nue (ghost malaria characterized by coming and going unpredictably), burn paper painted with Zhong Kui to ash (2 qian), along with Awei (Asafoetida), Pishuang (Arsenic Trioxide), and Dansha (Cinnabar), each the size of a soap bean. Grind into fine powder, mix with Han Shi Mian (Han Dynasty-style dough/flour), and make pills the size of small beans. Take one pill when symptoms appear, delivered with cold water. Preparation should be done on the 15th day of the first lunar month and the 5th day of the fifth lunar month. [Refutation of Error] (Li Shizhen says): According to Erya, "Zhongkui" is the name for a type of mushroom (Kao Gong Ji Zhu / Commentary on the Artificers' Record states that "Zhongkui" is the name for a mallet). Mushrooms resemble mallets, and mallets resemble mushrooms, hence they share the same name. In popular depictions, deities hold a mallet to strike ghosts, thus also named "Zhongkui". Enthusiasts later created the legend of Zhong Kui, claiming he was an unsuccessed Jinshi who could eat ghosts, turning it into a story. This is unknown to be an error.
