【兰草】
味道辛，性平，无毒。主要功效是通利水道，杀灭蛊毒，辟除不祥之气。能消除胸中的痰饮积滞。长期服用可以补气益力，使身体轻盈，延缓衰老，通达神明。又名水香。生长在大吴地区的池塘沼泽中，在四月、五月采集。
当时的人已经不再认识和使用这种药材了。“大吴”应该就是古代的吴国，即泰伯所居住的地方，所以称为“大吴”。现在东部地区有一种煎煮用的泽草叫做兰香，或许就是这种植物，生长在潮湿的地方。李云说：这是如今人们种植的，类似于都梁香草。（《大观本草》卷七，《政和重修政和经史证类备用本草》卷一八六）
【薇芜（茳蓠）】
味道辛，性温，无毒。主要治疗咳嗽气逆，安定惊悸之气，辟除邪恶之气，去除蛊毒和鬼疰（一种由鬼神引起的传染病），驱除体内的三虫（蛔虫、蛲虫、绦虫）。长期服用可以通达神明。主治身体中的陈旧风邪，头部久留的风邪，以及因风引起的眩晕。又名薇芜，又名茳蓠，是川芎的幼苗。生长在雍州的川泽及宛朐地区。在四月、五月采集叶片，晒干。
现在出产于历阳，各地也有种植，许多人家都种它，叶子形状像蛇床子但有香气。文人借它来作比喻，但在方药中使用很少。（《大观本草》卷七，《政和重修政和经史证类备用本草》卷一七五页）
【云英（员实/天豆）】
味道辛、苦，性温，无毒。主要治疗泄泻痢疾、肠中寄生虫，杀灭蛊毒，去除邪恶结聚之气，止痛，消除寒热症状。治疗消渴病。
花：主治看见鬼怪精物，多吃会让人疯狂奔跑。能杀死精物，通利小便，烧之可以招致鬼魂。长期服用可以使身体轻盈，通达神明，有益长寿。又名员实，又名云英，又名天豆。生长在河间的川谷。十月采集，晒干。
现在到处都有，种子细小像葶苈子但颜色更黑，果实也类似莨菪。烧之招鬼的说法，我没有见过其法术验证。（《大观本草》卷七，《政和重修政和经史证类备用本草》卷一九○页）
【徐长卿（鬼督邮）】
味道辛，性温，无毒。主治鬼物百精、蛊毒、疫病、邪恶之气、温疟。长期服用使人强悍，身体轻盈。补气益力，延年益寿。又名鬼督邮。生长在泰山山谷及陇西地区，三月采集。
鬼督邮这个名字有很多。现在世医用的是徐长卿，它的根正如细辛一样，只是稍短且扁平，气味也相似。现在的狗脊散中用……（《大观本草》卷七，《政和重修政和经史证类备用本草》卷一九○页）
[Lancao (Orchid Herb)]
Taste: Acrid. Nature: Neutral. Toxicity: Non-toxic. It primarily promotes the flow of water passages, kills gu poison (parasitic toxins), and wards off inauspicious influences. It eliminates phlegm and stagnation in the chest. Long-term consumption benefits qi, lightens the body, prevents aging, and enhances spiritual clarity. Also known as Shuixiang (Water Fragrance). It grows in the ponds and marshes of Dawu. Harvested in April and May.
People nowadays no longer recognize or use this herb. "Dawu" likely refers to the ancient State of Wu, where Taibo resided, hence the name "Great Wu." Currently, there is a wetland herb used for decoction called Lanxiang (Fragrant Herb) in the eastern regions, which might be this plant; it grows in damp places. Li Yun states: This is what people plant today, resembling Duliang Xiangcao (Duliang Aromatic Herb). (Da Guan Bencao Vol. 7, Zhenghe Bencao Vol. 186)
[Wei Wu / Jiang Li]
Taste: Acrid. Nature: Warm. Toxicity: Non-toxic. It mainly treats coughing and rebellious qi, calms frightful qi, wards off evil influences, removes gu poison and gui zhu (ghostly afflictions), and expels the three parasites (roundworms, pinworms, tapeworms) from the body. Long-term consumption enhances spiritual connection. It treats old wind pathogens in the body, chronic wind in the head, and wind-induced vertigo. Also known as Wei Wu, or Jiang Li; it is the seedling of Chuanxiong Rhizoma. It grows in the rivers and marshes of Yongzhou and Wanqu. Leaves are harvested in April and May and dried in the sun.
It is currently produced in Liyang and is found everywhere; many households cultivate it. The leaves resemble those of Cnidium Fruit but are fragrant. Poets use it as a metaphor, but its use in prescriptions is rare. (Da Guan Bencao Vol. 7, Zhenghe Bencao Vol. 175)
[Yun Ying / Yuan Shi / Tian Dou]
Taste: Acrid, Bitter. Nature: Warm. Toxicity: Non-toxic. It mainly treats diarrhea and dysentery, intestinal parasites, kills gu poison, removes evil stagnant qi, relieves pain, and eliminates cold and heat symptoms. It treats Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst syndrome).
Flowers: They treat visions of ghostly spirits; excessive consumption causes madness and running about. They kill spirit entities, promote urination, and burning them can summon ghosts. Long-term consumption lightens the body, enhances spiritual clarity, and prolongs life. Also known as Yuan Shi, Yun Ying, or Tian Dou. It grows in the valleys of Hejian. Harvested in October and dried.
It is now found everywhere. The seeds are small like Thlaspi Seeds but darker black, and the fruit resembles Hyoscyamus Nigrum Seed. The claim that burning it summons ghosts has not been verified by me. (Da Guan Bencao Vol. 7, Zhenghe Bencao Vol. 190)
[Xu Changqing / Gui Du You]
Taste: Acrid. Nature: Warm. Toxicity: Non-toxic. It mainly treats various spirit entities, gu poison, epidemic diseases, evil qi, and Wen Nue (warm malaria). Long-term consumption makes one robust and strong, lightens the body, benefits qi, and prolongs life. Also known as Gui Du You. It grows in the valleys of Mount Tai and Longxi. Harvested in March.
The name Gui Du You has many variations. What is used in the world today is Xu Changqing Radix. Its root resembles Asarum Root, though slightly shorter and flatter, with a similar aroma. It is used in the current Gouji San... (Da Guan Bencao Vol. 7, Zhenghe Bencao Vol. 190)
