味苦、甘、辛，气大热。有毒。酿造原料不分等级，糯米、粟米、秫米、黍米，都可以用来酿造。名称也有很多种。（醇酒、清酒、白酒、黄酒、腊八酒、清明酒、绿豆酒、羔儿酒，如此多的名字，无法一一列举。）只有用糯米和面曲酿造的为好，能引导药力进入经络，运行药势最为迅速。因为它不仅走窜各条经络，功效与附子相当。叶子的味道有辛、甘、苦的差别，治疗上、中、下三焦时分别使用。辛味的能发散，通行全身体表，直达头顶最高处；甘味的能缓和居中；苦味的能下行；淡味的则直接通利小便而快速下行。少量饮用且有节制，可以养脾扶肝。驻留容颜，滋润肌肤，通畅血脉，增厚肠胃。抵御雾露瘴气，对抗风雪严寒。各种邪恶之气立即驱散，百种邪气完全避开。消除忧愁，激发兴致，发扬意气，直言不讳。虽然佳酿常被称赞，但也有“狂药”的别号。如果放纵饮酒助长火气，就会扰乱心性，损害身体。烂胃腐肠，蒸筋溃髓。损伤精神，减少寿命，危害不小。如果入药共同酿造，主治功能又有所不同。姜酒治疗厥逆客忤，紫酒（即豆淋酒）调理偏风。葱豉酒解除烦热并疏散风寒，桑椹酒补益五脏以明亮耳目。狗肉汁酿酒每日饮用，大补元阳；葡萄肉浸酒时常品尝，甚消痰癖。牛膝干地黄酒更妙，逐渐滋阴衰；枸杞仙灵脾酒尤佳，专扶阳痿。还有社酒等，也有小能力。指纳婴儿口中，可令速语；口含喷屋四壁，堪逐蚊蝇。糟跌伤，行瘀止痛。亦驱蛇毒，仍合冻疮。

Bitter, sweet, and acrid in flavor; excessively hot in nature. Toxic. The brewing materials are not distinguished by grade; glutinous rice, millet, sorghum, and broomcorn millet can all be used for brewing. There are also many names (such as Chunjiu [pure wine], Qingjiu [clear wine], Baijiu [white liquor], Huangjiu [yellow wine], Laba Jiu [Laba Festival wine], Qingming Jiu [Qingming Festival wine], Lüdou Jiu [mung bean wine], and Gao'er Jiu [lamb wine]; such numerous names cannot be fully listed). Only those brewed with glutinous rice and wheat starter are considered superior, as they can guide medicinal substances into the meridians and accelerate the action of drugs most rapidly. Because it traverses various meridians without restriction, its efficacy is comparable to that of Fuzi (Aconite Lateral Root). The leaves differ in flavors—acrid, sweet, and bitter—and are used separately for treating the upper, middle, and lower jiao (sanjiao). Acrid flavors can disperse, circulating through the exterior of the whole body, reaching even the highest point of the head; sweet flavors can moderate and center; bitter flavors can descend; bland flavors directly promote urination and descend quickly. Consumed in moderation, it nourishes the Spleen and supports the Liver. It preserves complexion, enriches skin, unblocks blood vessels, and thickens the stomach and intestines. It wards off fog, dew, and miasma, and resists the cold of wind and snow. All evil influences are immediately driven away, and a hundred types of pathogenic factors are repelled. It dispels sorrow, stimulates interest, elevates spirit, and encourages frank speech. Although fine wine is often praised, it also bears the nickname "mad drug." If one drinks excessively to fuel fire, it will disturb mental nature and damage the body. It rots the stomach and corrupts the intestines, steams the sinews, and dissolves the marrow. It injures the spirit and reduces lifespan, causing significant harm. If used in medicinal brewing, its therapeutic indications differ. Ginger wine treats jue-ni (cold extremities) and ke-wu (alien invasion); Zi Jiu (purple wine, i.e., Doulin Jiu) regulates pian-feng (hemiplegia or facial paralysis). Congchi Jiu (scallion and fermented soybean wine) relieves irritability and heat while dispersing wind-cold; Sangshen Jiu (mulberry fruit wine) benefits the five zang organs to brighten the eyes and ears. Dog meat juice brewed into wine, consumed daily, greatly tonifies Yuan Yang (primordial yang); Grape meat soaked in wine, tasted occasionally, effectively resolves phlegm accumulation. Niuxi Gan Di Huang Jiu (Achyranthus and Rehmannia root wine) is even more excellent, gradually nourishing yin deficiency; Gouqi Xianlingpi Jiu (Cornus and Epimedium wine) is particularly good, specifically supporting impotence. Other community wines also have minor uses. Placing it in an infant's mouth can enable rapid speech; holding it in the mouth and spraying the four walls of a room can drive away mosquitoes and flies. Jiuzao (wine lees) applied to bruises promotes blood circulation and alleviates pain. It also expels snake venom and treats frostbite.
(Mo) Commentary: When great cold freezes the seas, only wine does not freeze. Due to its excessive heat nature, it stands alone among other substances. Danxi also stated: Wine generates heat within dampness, resembling Ministerial Fire, causing trembling and chills after intoxication. From this, we can understand that what appears as aversion to cold is not true cold but clearly a heat syndrome. Its nature prefers ascending, and its qi necessarily assists this upward movement. Phlegm obstructs the upper diaphragm, urination becomes difficult in the lower jiao, the Lung receives thief pathogens, the Metal element becomes severely dry, and indiscriminate drinking of cold liquids causes heat to stagnate internally. When the Lung Qi encounters this, it suffers great injury and depletion. Initially, the disease is superficial; symptoms may include vomiting, spontaneous sweating, sores and scabies, epistaxis, diarrhea and dysentery, or heart and spleen pain, which can still be dispersed and expelled. Over time, the disease deepens; conditions may include Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst), internal abscesses, Fei Wei (lung atrophy), hemorrhoids and fistulas, Gu Zhang (drum-like distension), Huang Dan (jaundice), blindness, asthma, Lao Sou (chronic cough due to consumption), hematemesis and epistaxis, epilepsy, and other difficult-to-treat diseases. Unless one possesses clear insight, treatment is not easy. Can one not be cautious?
