Niu Cao (Cow Grass)
See under the section on Cattle in the Beast Category.
(The following are names recorded but not practically used, totaling seventy-eight kinds)
Qu Cao
*Shennong Benjing* states: Bitter, slightly cold, non-toxic. Mainly treats pain below the chest and hypochondrium, pathogenic factors, alternating cold and heat in the intestines, and yin bi (bi-syndrome of the genital region). Long-term use lightens the body, benefits qi, and delays aging.
*Mingyi Bielu* states: Grows in the rivers and marshes of Hanzhong. Harvested in May.
Bie Ji
*Shennong Benjing* states: Bitter, slightly warm, non-toxic. Mainly treats body heaviness due to wind-cold-dampness bi-syndrome, pain and soreness of the four limbs, and joint pain caused by cold pathogens (li jie tong).

Li Shizhen said: *Wulei Zhi* calls it Humen Cao (Door-Guarding Grass), also known as Ling Cao. People there place it on the door; when someone's clothes brush against it, it makes a noise as if scolding them. Wang Yun's poem says: "Frost covers the palace locust trees, wind startles the door-guarding grass." This refers to it. However, its shape is not described, which is a pity.
