(From *Xinxiu Bencao* p. 202, *Daguan Bencao* Vol. 17, *Zhenghe Bencao* p. 377)

[Soil beneath the hoof of a white horse walking eastward] Used in magical arts to discern extramarital affairs of women. There are many colors of horses; pure white is considered best. If the mouth, eyes, and hooves are all white, such horses are rare in the world; minor uses do not require such strict criteria. Liver of horse and meat from under the saddle are said in old texts to be fatal. Eating meat of swift horses without drinking alcohol can also be fatal. White horses with black hooves should not be eaten.
