（以瓷瓶收密封埋净土地中任经数年久而愈妙）
（凡一切补药诸膏宜此火煎之）
（宜煎一切滋补药 凡服汤药虽品物专精修治如法而煎药者卤莽造次水火不良火候失度
则药亦无功观夫茶味之美恶饭味之甘 皆系于水火烹饪之得失即可推矣是以煎药须用小心老
成人以深罐密封新水活火先武后文如法服之未有不效者火用陈芦枯竹取其不强不损药力也）
（三尺以上曰粪三尺以下曰土凡用当去上恶物勿令入客水）
（此屋之东壁上土尔当取东壁之东边谓常先见日光刮取用之）
（凡使勿误用灶下土其伏龙肝是十年以来灶额内火气积久自结如赤色石中黄其形貌八棱
取得后细研以滑石水飞过两遍令干用熟绢裹却取子时安于旧额内一伏时重研了用）
（生出铜处方圆不定色青黄如铜凡使用甘草汤煮一伏时至明漉出摊令干入臼中捣了重筛
过以醋浸一宿至明用六一混泥瓷盒子盛二升文武火养三日夜才干用盖盖了火）
（陈久而料精者入药新而粗者不堪）
（此乃灶额及烟炉中墨烟也其质轻细故谓之霜山庄人家者良）
（须去烟火远高堂殿上者拂下筛用之一云凡用倒挂尘烧令烟尽筛取末入药雷氏所说似是
梁上灰尘今人不见用）
（凡使只可浑安在药中借气生药力而已勿入药服能消人脂）
（用瓷瓶收集并密封，埋在洁净的土地中，任凭经过数年，时间越久效果越好）
（凡是所有的补药和各种膏剂，都适宜用这种火来煎煮）
（栎炭火适宜炼制各种金石类药物；炭火适宜烹煮、煎制、焙干、炙烤各种丸剂和散剂）
（适宜煎煮各种滋补药物。凡是服用汤药，虽然药材品种专精、炮制方法合规，但如果煎药的人粗鲁草率，水火控制不当，火候失去节度，那么药物也就没有功效了。观察茶的滋味美恶、饭的味道甘苦，都取决于水火和烹饪的得失，由此可以推知。因此煎药必须使用小心谨慎的老成人，用深罐密封，取新水，用活火，先武火后文火，按照规范煎服，没有不生效的。用火选用陈年的芦荻和枯竹，因为它们的火力不强也不伤药力。）
（三尺以上称为粪，三尺以下称为土。凡是使用时要去除上层的污秽物，不要让客水（雨水或外来水）混入）
（这是房屋东墙壁上的土。应当选取东壁的最东边，即通常最先见到日光的地方，刮取下来使用）
（凡是使用时不要误用灶下的土。伏龙肝是十年来灶台额头内火气积聚日久自然结成的，像赤色石头中间带黄色，形状呈八棱形。取得后细细研磨，用滑石水飞研两遍，晾干后用熟绢包裹，却在子时放回原来的灶台额头内一个时辰，再次研磨后使用）
（生铜形状方圆不定，颜色青黄像铜。凡是使用时用甘草汤煮一个时辰，到明天捞出摊开晾干，放入臼中捣碎，重新筛过，用醋浸泡一夜，到明天使用。装入六一泥封固的瓷盒子里，用文武火养护三天三夜才干透使用，盖上盖子熄火）
（存放陈旧且质地精纯的入药，新鲜而粗糙的不堪使用）
（这是灶台额头及烟炉中的墨烟。其质地轻细所以称为霜。山庄人家出产的质量好）
（必须去除烟火气，选取高堂殿上落下的灰尘拂下筛取使用。另一种说法是凡是使用时将倒挂的灰尘烧尽烟后筛取粉末入药。雷氏所说的似乎是梁上的灰尘，现在人不见得使用）
（凡是使用时只可整体放置在药物中，借其气味来生发药力而已，不可入药服用，因为它能消耗人的脂肪）
(Store in a porcelain bottle, seal tightly, and bury in clean soil. The longer it remains buried for several years, the better its efficacy.)
(All tonifying medicines and various pastes are suitable to be decocted using this type of fire.)
(Oak charcoal fire is suitable for refining all kinds of mineral and metallic drugs; charcoal fire is suitable for boiling, decocting, baking, and roasting various pills and powders.)
(It is suitable for decocting all kinds of nourishing medicines. When taking herbal decoctions, even if the ingredients are of high quality and processed according to regulations, if the person decocting the medicine is careless or hasty, and the control of water and fire is improper with the heat intensity out of regulation, the medicine will be ineffective. Observing that the quality of tea taste and the sweetness of rice flavor both depend on the success or failure of water, fire, and cooking, one can infer this principle. Therefore, decocting medicine requires careful and experienced elderly persons. Use a deep pot, seal tightly, use fresh water and active fire, start with vigorous fire (Wu Huo) and switch to mild fire (Wen Huo), follow the standard procedures, and take as directed; there will be no case where it fails to work. For fuel, use aged reeds and dried bamboo because their fire is neither too strong nor damaging to the medicinal power.)
(The upper three chi is called feces, and the lower three chi is called earth. When using, remove the upper foul matter and do not allow external water to enter.)
(This is the earth from the east wall of the house. One should take the easternmost part of the east wall, where sunlight usually hits first, scrape it off, and use it.)
(When using, do not mistakenly use the earth under the stove. Fulonggan (Dragon Liver Earth) is formed by the accumulation of fire energy inside the stove's forehead over ten years, resembling red stone with yellow centers, and having an octagonal shape. After obtaining it, grind it finely, fly it twice with Talcum Powder (Huashi) water, dry it, wrap it in cooked silk, place it back into the old stove forehead at Zi hour (11 PM - 1 AM) for one Shichen (2 hours), then grind it again before use.)
(Raw copper has irregular shapes, greenish-yellow color like copper. When using, boil it in Licorice Root Decoction (Gancao Tang) for one Shichen. Next day, drain, spread out to dry, pound in a mortar, sieve again, soak in vinegar overnight, and use the next day. Store in a porcelain box sealed with Liuyi Mud (Six-One Clay), maintain with moderate fire for three days and nights until completely dry, cover, and extinguish the fire before use.)
(Aged and refined materials are suitable for medicinal use; fresh and coarse ones are unacceptable.)
(This is soot from the stove forehead and smoke furnace. Its texture is light and fine, hence called "Frost". Soot from mountain villages is of good quality.)
(Must remove smoky odor. Take dust brushed down from high halls and temples, sieve, and use. Another method states: when using, hang inverted dust, burn until smoke is gone, sieve the powder, and add to medicine. Lei Xiao's description seems to refer to dust from beams, which is rarely used nowadays.)
(When using, only place the whole piece within the medicine to borrow its qi to generate medicinal power; do not consume it medicinally as it can consume human fat.)
