旧说云是松脂沦入地，千年所化，今烧之亦作松气。世有琥珀中有一蜂，形色如生。《博
物志》又云烧蜂巢所作，恐非实。此或当蜂为松脂所粘，因坠地沦没耳。有煮 鸡子及青鱼
枕作者，并非真，唯以拾芥为验。世中多带之辟恶。刮屑服，治瘀血至验。《仙经》无正用，
惟曲晨丹所须，以赤者为胜。今并从外国来，而出茯苓处永无有。不知出琥珀处，复有茯苓
以否？（《新修》八八页，《大观》卷十二，《政和》二九七页）
味苦、甘，温，无毒。主治痈疽，恶疮，头疡，白秃，疥瘙，风气，安五脏，除热。
胃中伏热，咽干，消渴，及风痹死肌。炼之令白。其赤者主恶风痹。久服轻身，不老延
年。一名松膏，一名松肪。生大山山谷，六月采。松实，味苦，无毒，温。主风痹，寒气，

采炼松脂法，并在服食方中，以桑灰汁若酒煮辄，纳寒水中数十过，白滑则可用。其有自

琥珀：味甘，性平，无毒。主治安养五脏，安定魂魄，驱杀精魅邪鬼，消除瘀血，通利五种淋证（石淋、血淋、膏淋、劳淋、气淋）。产于永昌。
旧时说它是松脂沉入地下，经过千年变化而成，现在烧它也会发出松脂的气味。世间有琥珀中包裹着一只蜜蜂，形态颜色如同活的一样。《博物志》又说这是燃烧蜂巢所制，恐怕不是事实。这或许是蜜蜂被松脂粘住，因而坠地沉没罢了。也有用煮鸡蛋和青鱼枕制作的，都不是真品，只有用芥菜籽来检验真伪。世间人多佩戴它来辟除邪恶。刮下粉末服用，治疗瘀血非常有效。《仙经》中没有明确记载其用途，只有曲晨丹需要用到，以红色的为佳。现在多从外国进口，而在出产茯苓的地方永远没有琥珀。不知道出产琥珀的地方，是否有茯苓呢？（引自《新修本草》八八页，《大观本草》卷十二，《政和本草》二九七页）
松脂：味苦、甘，性温，无毒。主治痈疽，恶疮，头疡，白秃（头皮癣），疥瘙，风气，安养五脏，清除热邪。治疗胃中潜伏的热邪，咽干，消渴，以及风痹导致的肌肉枯死。炼制使其变白。其中红色的主治恶风痹。长期服用能轻身，不老延年。又名松膏，又名松肪。生长在大山山谷中，六月采集。
松实：味苦，无毒，性温。主治风痹，寒气，身体虚弱消瘦、气短，补益不足。九月采集，阴干。
松叶：味苦，性温。主治风湿痹疮气，促进毛发生长，安养五脏，守持中气，不感到饥饿，延年益寿。
松根白皮：主治辟谷时不感饥饿。
采集炼制松脂的方法，都在服食方中记载，用桑灰汁或酒煮后，放入冷水中数十次，直到变得白滑就可以使用了。那些自然流出的松脂，胜过凿树取脂及熬煮膏脂。松实不可多得，只有松叶最适合断谷食用。将其细切如粟米大小，用水和面汤送服。也有阴干捣成粉末，制成丸剂服用的。人患恶病，服用此药没有不好的。近来患有腿脚软弱的人，酿造松节酒饮用，也都痊愈了。松柏都有脂润，又经历寒冬而不凋谢，按理说是极好的物品，只是人们大多轻视它，因为它容易获取。（引自《新修本草》九○页，《大观本草》卷十二，《政和本草》二九一页）
Amber: Sweet in flavor, neutral in nature, non-toxic. It primarily nourishes the five Zang organs (Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, Kidney), stabilizes the Hun and Po spirits (ethereal and corporeal souls), eliminates demonic influences and evil ghosts, resolves blood stasis, and unblocks the five types of Lin syndrome (Stone, Blood, Paste, Labor, and Qi Lin). Produced in Yongchang.
Old theories state that it is pine resin that has sunk into the ground and transformed over a thousand years; burning it today also produces a pine scent. There are instances where amber contains a bee encased within, appearing alive in form and color. The *Bowuzhi* (Records of Various Things) claims it is made from burned beehives, which is likely incorrect. It is more probable that bees were stuck by pine resin and subsequently fell to the ground and submerged. Some counterfeit versions are made from boiled chicken eggs or green fish pillows, which are not genuine; authenticity is verified using mustard seeds. People often wear it to ward off evil. Scraping the powder for oral administration is highly effective for treating blood stasis. The *Xianjing* (Immortal Classics) does not specify its primary use, except that it is required for Qu Chen Dan (Cur Morning Pill), with red varieties being superior. Currently, most are imported from foreign lands, and none are found in areas where Poria (Fuling) grows. It is unknown whether Poria exists in regions where Amber is produced.

Pine Resin: Bitter and sweet in flavor, warm in nature, non-toxic. It treats carbuncles and sores, malignant ulcers, scalp lesions, alopecia capitis (white baldness), scabies and itching, wind-pathogens, nourishes the five Zang organs, and clears heat. It addresses latent heat in the Stomach, dry throat, Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst), and Bi syndrome causing muscle atrophy/necrosis. Refining it makes it white. The red variety specifically treats severe Wind-Bi. Long-term consumption lightens the body, prevents aging, and prolongs life. Also known as Song Gao (Pine Ointment) or Song Fang (Pine Fat). It grows in deep mountain valleys and is harvested in the sixth lunar month.
Pine Nuts: Bitter in flavor, non-toxic, warm in nature. They treat Wind-Bi, cold pathogens, emaciation due to deficiency, shortness of breath, and tonify insufficiency. Harvested in the ninth lunar month and dried in the shade.
Pine Needles: Bitter in flavor, warm in nature. They treat rheumatic Bi sores and Qi stagnation, promote hair growth, nourish the five Zang organs, maintain central Qi, prevent hunger, and prolong life.
Pine Joints: Warm in nature. They treat chronic wind affecting all joints, wind-deficiency, leg Bi pain, and general pain.
White Bark of Pine Roots: Prevents hunger during Bigu (grain avoidance).
The methods for harvesting and refining pine resin are detailed in dietary therapy formulas: boil with ash lye from mulberry branches or wine, then immerse in cold water dozens of times until it becomes white and smooth, indicating it is ready for use. Naturally exuded resin is superior to resin obtained by drilling trees or boiling. Pine nuts are rare; only pine needles are suitable for Bigu. Cut finely like millet grains and take with water or flour broth. Alternatively, they can be shade-dried, pounded into powder, and taken as pills. Patients suffering from malignant diseases recover without exception after taking this. Recently, individuals suffering from lower limb weakness have brewed wine from pine joints and recovered completely. Both pine and cypress possess resinous moisture and do not shed leaves in winter, making them theoretically excellent substances; however, people tend to neglect them because they are easily accessible.
