[《本草拾遗·藏器》说] 这是将胞衣埋入地下，七八年后化为水，澄清透彻如冰。南方人用甘草、升麻配合其他药物，装在瓶中埋入土中，三五年后掘出，取作为药物。
[李时珍说] 凡是凝固的称为肪、脂，融化的称为膏、油，腊月炼制干净后收藏使用。[苏恭说] 十二月上亥日，取入新瓶，埋入亥地（北方）一百天后使用，名为 [猪] 脂。每升入鸡子白（蛋清）十四枚，效果更好。[陶弘景说] 不要让其中进水。腊月 [采集]。

[Zhu Zhenheng stated] Renzhonghuang (Human Midfield Yellow) is prepared by filling bamboo tubes with powdered Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Licorice Root), sealing both ends with bamboo or wooden plugs, immersing them in a manure pit during winter, retrieving them at the beginning of spring, hanging them in a ventilated place to dry in the shade, splitting the bamboo to extract the licorice, and using it after sun-drying.

Take six qian of human fingernails and toenails calcined to retain their medicinal properties (charred but retaining efficacy), two qian of Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum (Prepared Pinellia Tuber processed with ginger), two qian of Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (Duhuo), and two qian of Cinnabaris (Cinnabar).
