味辛，温，无毒。主治伤食不化，邪结气，恶疮，疽， 痔，利九窍，下乳汁。治男子
阴疮，女子阴蚀，及伤食病，恒欲眠睡。一名通石，殷孽根也，青黄色。生梁山山谷。（木
兰为之使，恶细辛。）
梁山属冯翊郡，此即今钟乳床也，亦出始兴，皆大块折破之。凡钟乳之类，三种同一体，
从石室上汁溜积久盘结者，为钟乳床，即此孔公孽也。其次长小 者，为殷孽，今人呼为
孔公孽。殷孽复溜，轻好者为钟乳。虽同一类，而疗体为异，贵贱悬殊。此二孽不堪丸散，
人皆捣末酒渍饮之，治脚弱。其前诸治，恐宜水煮为汤也。案今三种同根，而所生各异处，
当是随其土地为胜尔。（《新修》四五页，《大观》卷四，《政和》一一三页）
味甘，温，无毒。主治风寒虚损，腰脚疼痹，安五脏，益气。一名石饴饼。生名山土石

此石亦钟乳之类，形如曾青而白色黑斑，软脆易破，今茅山东及西平山并有，凿土堪取
之。世方不见用，《仙经》有刘君导仙散用之。又《真诰》云∶李整采服，治风痹虚损，而
得长生也。（《新修》四六页，《大观》卷四，《政和》一一五页）
味辛，性温，无毒。主治创伤溃烂、瘀血阻滞、泄泻痢疾、寒热往来、鼠瘰（淋巴结核）、症瘕（腹内结块）、气机郁结、脚部寒冷疼痛及肢体软弱无力。又名姜石，是钟乳石的根部。产于赵国山谷，以及梁山和南海地区，采集没有固定时间。（忌与白术、防己同用。）
赵国属于冀州，这就是现在人们所说的孔公孽，大小如同牛羊角，长度约一、二尺左右，也出产于始兴。（出自《新修本草》第四十四页，《大观本草》卷四，《政和本草》第一百一十三页）
味辛，性温，无毒。主治饮食停滞不化、邪气结聚、恶疮、疽病、痔疮，通利九窍，下乳汁。治疗男子阴部疮疡、女子阴户蚀烂，以及因伤食导致的经常想睡觉的症状。又名通石，是殷孽的根部，颜色青黄。产于梁山山谷。（以木兰为佐使药，忌与细辛同用。）
梁山属于冯翊郡，这就是现在的钟乳床，也出产于始兴，都是大块破碎的形态。大凡钟乳这类药物，三种药材本质相同，从石室上方滴落的汁液经过长时间积聚盘结而成的，称为钟乳床，也就是这里的孔公孽。其次生长较小者，称为殷孽，现在人称之为孔公孽。殷孽再次滴落形成的，质地轻盈优良者称为钟乳。虽然属于同一类，但药效性质不同，贵贱差别悬殊。这两种“孽”不适合制作丸剂和散剂，人们都将其捣碎后用酒浸泡饮用，用于治疗脚部软弱无力。前面的那些主治功效，恐怕适宜用水煮成汤剂服用。据考证，现在这三种药材同根，但生长地点各异，应当是各自适应当地环境而发挥优势罢了。（出自《新修本草》第四十五页，《大观本草》卷四，《政和本草》第一百一十三页）
味甘，性温，无毒。主治风寒引起的虚损、腰脚疼痛麻木，安定五脏，益气。又名石饴饼。产于名山的土石之中，采集没有固定时间。
这种石头也是钟乳的一类，形状像曾青（蓝铜矿）但呈白色带黑斑，质地软脆易碎，现在茅山东面和西平山都有，开凿土壤可以取得。世俗医方中不见使用，《仙经》中有刘君的导仙散用到它。另外《真诰》记载：李整采集服用，治疗风痹虚损，从而得以长寿。（出自《新修本草》第四十六页，《大观本草》卷四，《政和本草》第一百一十五页）
Pungent in flavor, warm in nature, non-toxic. It treats traumatic wounds and ulcerations, blood stasis, diarrhea and dysentery, alternating chills and fever, scrofula (tuberculous lymphadenitis), zheng jia (abdominal masses), qi stagnation, coldness and pain in the feet, and weakness of the limbs. Also known as Jiangshi (Ginger Stone), it is the root of Stalactite (Zhongru). It grows in the valleys of Zhao State, as well as at Liang Mountain and Nanhai. It can be harvested at any time. (Incompatible with Baizhu [Atractylodis Rhizoma] and Fangji [Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix].)
Zhao State belongs to Jizhou Province. This is what people nowadays call Konggongnie, which is as large as cattle or sheep horns and about one or two chi in length. It also originates from Shixing. (From *Xinxiu Bencao* page 44, *Daguan Bencao* Vol. 4, *Zhenghe Bencao* page 113.)
Pungent in flavor, warm in nature, non-toxic. It treats food stagnation and indigestion, pathological qi accumulation, malignant sores, carbuncles, hemorrhoids, unblocks the nine orifices, and promotes lactation. It treats yin sores in men and vaginal erosion in women, as well as excessive sleepiness caused by food stagnation. Also known as Tongshi, it is the root of Yennie, with a greenish-yellow color. It grows in the valleys of Liang Mountain. (Uses Mulan [Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex] as an assistant; incompatible with Xixin [Asari Radix et Rhizoma].)
Liang Mountain belongs to Fengyi Commandery. This is what is now called Zhongruchuang (Stalactite Bed). It also originates from Shixing and usually occurs in large broken pieces. Generally speaking, for substances like Stalactite, the three types share the same essence. The substance formed by fluid dripping from the top of stone chambers accumulating over a long period is called Zhongruchuang, which is this Konggongnie. The next type, which grows smaller, is called Yennie, which people nowadays refer to as Konggongnie. When Yennie drips further and becomes light and of good quality, it is called Zhongru (Stalactite). Although they belong to the same category, their therapeutic properties differ significantly, leading to a vast disparity in value. These two types of "nie" are unsuitable for making pills and powders; people generally crush them, soak them in wine, and drink the infusion to treat foot weakness. Regarding the previously mentioned indications, it is likely that decocting them in water as a soup is more appropriate. According to records, although these three types share the same root, they grow in different places, suggesting that each adapts to its local environment to achieve its efficacy. (From *Xinxiu Bencao* page 45, *Daguan Bencao* Vol. 4, *Zhenghe Bencao* page 113.)
Sweet in flavor, warm in nature, non-toxic. It treats deficiency and damage caused by wind-cold, pain and numbness in the waist and legs, calms the five zang organs, and tonifies qi. Also known as Shi Yi Bing. It grows in the rocks and soil of famous mountains and can be harvested at any time.
This stone is also a type of Stalactite. Its shape resembles Chongqing (Chrysocolla or Malachite) but is white with black spots. It is soft, brittle, and easily broken. It is found in both the east and west of Mount Mao and Ping Mountain, where it can be obtained by excavating the soil. It is not used in secular medical formulas, but Liu Jun's Daoxian San in the *Xianjing* (Scriptures of Immortals) utilizes it. Furthermore, *Zhen Gao* records that Li Zheng collected and consumed it to treat wind-bi and deficiency damage, thereby achieving longevity. (From *Xinxiu Bencao* page 46, *Daguan Bencao* Vol. 4, *Zhenghe Bencao* page 115.)
