（即冬青树子）
味苦、甘，气平。无毒。乡落幽居，多植遮护。能欺霜雪，又名冬青。
衣皮将布袋 净。酒浸一
宿，日曝待干。研末为丸，用旱莲草熬膏合妙；捣碎渍酒，同生地黄投罐煮良。黑发黑须，
强筋强力。安五脏补中气，
除百病养精神。多服补血去风，久服健身不老。树皮凉而无毒，若渍酒每日饮，亦益
肌肤。枝叶煎可染绯，
又烧灰面膏涂，能治瘅瘃。木白纹细，函板堪为。虫白蜡附树枝结成，系小虫食
树汁化者。（
有黑。每食冬青树汁，久而化为白脂，熔则成蜡。人谓虫屎着树而然，非也。亦有不变蜡者，
则结苞枝上，初如黍米，
渐圆大青紫，宛若树之结实，土人呼为蜡种，来年春深则苞拆而虫出延树矣。欲广蓄者，候
苞将折时，连枝采系他树，
其虫亦应候而出。）
美。）自然凝聚成块。文理莹
澈，不忝石膏。《本经》原脱漏未书，丹溪始珍重才用。尝与戴原礼简云∶白蜡者
敛坚凝，诚为外科要药。生肌
止血定痛，接骨续筋补虚。与合欢皮同煎，入长肉膏神效。但未试可服否？其合欢皮服之验
矣。（蜡有二种，蜜白蜡人可
服饵，《本经》石蜜款内曾已载详。其虫白蜡《本经》未载。后因丹溪此简有未试可服否一
句，乃知言此虫蜡也。故采之
以补脱漏。）白蜡尘取，能治瘵虫。
女贞实（即冬青树的果实）
味道苦、甘，药性平。无毒。乡间幽静居住的地方，多种植它作为遮蔽防护。它能经受霜雪的考验，所以又名冬青。
将果皮剥去，装入布袋中洗净。用酒浸泡一夜，日晒至干。研成粉末制成丸剂，用旱莲草熬制的膏液调和效果奇妙；捣碎后浸泡在酒中，与生地黄一同放入罐中煮制也很好。能使头发和胡须变黑，强壮筋骨。安定五脏，补益中气，消除百病，滋养精神。长期服用可补血祛风，久服能强身健体、延缓衰老。树皮性凉且无毒，如果浸泡在酒中每日饮用，也对肌肤有益。枝叶煎煮后可染成红色，又或烧成灰调成面膏涂抹，能治疗冻疮。木材纹理细密洁白，适合制作匣板。虫白蜡附着在树枝上结成，是由小虫子吸食树汁转化而成的。（呈黑色。每只虫子食用冬青树的汁液，久而久之化为白色油脂，熔化后成为蜡。人们认为是虫屎附着在树上形成的，这是不对的。也有不变成蜡的，则在枝条上结成苞，起初像黍米大小，逐渐变大呈青紫色，很像树木结出的果实，当地人称为“蜡种”，来年春深时苞破裂虫子飞出依附在树上。）（美观。）自然凝聚成块。纹理晶莹清澈，不愧为石膏般的佳品。《神农本草经》原本脱漏未收录，朱丹溪才开始珍视并加以使用。曾给戴原礼的信中说：白蜡具有收敛坚固凝滞的作用，确实是外科的重要药物。能生肌止血定痛，接骨续筋补虚。与合欢皮同煎，加入长肉膏中疗效神奇。但未尝试过是否可以内服？其合欢皮服用确有验证。（蜡有两种，蜜白蜡人可以服用，《神农本草经》石蜜条目下已有详细记载。这种虫白蜡《神农本草经》未记载。后来因为朱丹溪这封信中有“未试可服否”一句，才知道说的是这种虫蜡。所以采集它来补充脱漏的内容。）白蜡尘取用，能治疗痨虫。
Fructus Ligustri Lucidi (i.e., the fruit of *Ilex chinensis*)
Taste: bitter, sweet. Nature: neutral. Non-toxic. In secluded rural dwellings, it is often planted as a hedge or barrier. It can withstand frost and snow, hence also named Dongqing (Winter Green).
Remove the skin, place in a clean cloth bag, and wash. Soak in wine for one night, then sun-dry until dry. Grind into powder to make pills; mixing with paste prepared from Ecliptae Herba (Hanliancao, 旱莲草) yields excellent results; crushing and soaking in wine, then boiling together with Rehmanniae Radix Preparata (Shengdihuang, 生地黄) in a pot is also beneficial. It darkens hair and beard, strengthens sinews and bones. It calms the five zang organs, tonifies middle qi, eliminates myriad diseases, and nourishes the spirit. Frequent intake benefits blood and dispels wind; long-term use promotes health and anti-aging. The bark is cool and non-toxic; if soaked in wine and drunk daily, it also benefits the skin. Decoction of branches and leaves can dye red; alternatively, burned to ash and mixed into a paste for topical application can treat chilblains. The wood has fine white grain, suitable for making boxes or panels. Ceraceous wax attaches to branches, formed by small insects metabolizing tree sap. (It appears black. Each insect feeds on the sap of the Winter Green tree; over time, it transforms into white fat, which melts into wax. People mistakenly believe it is caused by insect excrement adhering to the tree, which is incorrect. Some do not transform into wax but form buds on branches, initially like millet seeds, gradually enlarging to blue-purple, resembling the tree's fruit. Locals call them "wax seeds." In deep spring of the following year, the buds break, and insects emerge to attach to the tree.) (Aesthetic.) Naturally aggregates into blocks. The texture is crystal clear, comparable to Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏). Originally omitted in *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Classic of Materia Medica), Zhu Danxi was the first to value and use it. In a letter to Dai Yuanli, he stated: Bai La (White Wax) possesses astringent and consolidating properties, truly being an essential medicine for external surgery. It generates flesh, stops bleeding, alleviates pain, reconnects bones and sinews, and tonifies deficiency. When decocted together with Albiziae Cortex (Hehuanpi, 合欢皮) and added to flesh-generating ointments, it shows miraculous efficacy. However, its internal administration has not been tested. The efficacy of Hehuanpi when taken internally has been verified. (There are two types of wax: honey wax can be ingested by humans, as detailed under the entry for Shi Mi (Rock Honey) in *Shennong Bencao Jing*. This insect wax was not recorded in *Shennong Bencao Jing*. Later, due to Zhu Danxi's query "has it been tested whether it can be taken internally?" in this letter, it was understood that he referred to this insect wax. Thus, it was collected to supplement the omission.) Dust of Bai La (White Wax) can treat tuberculosis worms.
