【秦皮】
味苦，性微寒。主治风寒湿痹（由风、寒、湿邪侵袭经络关节所致的肢体疼痛、麻木、屈伸不利的病证）。消除体表凛冽的寒气。清除内热。治疗眼中青色的翳障和白色的膜状物。长期服用可使头发不白。使身体轻盈。生长在川谷地区。
小木芩高，追溯源头产于秦地。枝条像钗股一样坚硬，像黍苗一样细长。治愈羸弱之症，改善蜗疳（一种眼部疾病或皮肤溃烂）。两鬓如春日新发般乌黑，双眸如满月般明亮。试着泛舟碧绿的水流之上，仔细翻阅青色的竹简（指代医书）。
李时珍说：树木矮小但枝干高耸，所以又名岑皮（注：原文此处可能有脱字或异体，通常指秦皮别名）。有人说它原本出产于秦地。白居易的诗写道：根稀疏比得上黍米，苗稍刚硬如同钗股。（自注：祝苍华发神也，意指祝愿头发保持黑色）《淮南子》记载：木色青，能治目疾翳障，且能治愈蜗疳。这些都是治疗眼病的药物。王建的诗写道：春天来了黑发新生。苏轼的诗写道：读书时眼睛明亮如月。苏恭说：取树皮浸泡水后变成碧绿色，染在纸上都是青色的是真品。庾肩吾的诗写道：羽陵的青色竹简出土了。
【花椒】
味辛，性温。主治风邪之气。温暖中焦脾胃。去除寒痹。坚固牙齿和头发。明目。长期服用使身体轻盈，面色红润好看。延缓衰老，增加寿命。通神明。生长在川谷地区。
五行五义，光辉散落在衡星（北斗第五星）。通神明抵御湿气，留给我怀中的芳香。调和浆液以祈长寿，涂抹房屋以繁衍子孙。正月元旦这一天，作颂歌刻在铭文上。
东坡诗注引用吴真君服椒歌：这种花椒对应五行，它的仁通晓五义。《春秋运斗枢》说：玉衡星消散化为花椒。《孝经援神契》说：花椒和生姜可以抵御湿气。《诗经》说：赠给我一把花椒。《宋书传》记载：臧焘幽兰怀馨（比喻品德高尚）。僧人宗林的诗写道：调和浆液美好。《骚经》上有... 成公绥的铭文中写道：永远介助眉寿（长寿）。《汉官仪》记载：椒房殿取其果实蔓延四方之意。《月令》记载：正月初一，子孙各自进献椒酒。刘臻的妻子有元日献椒花颂。
【山茱萸】
味酸，性平。主治心下邪气，寒热交替，温暖中焦。驱逐寒湿痹痛。去除三虫（体内寄生虫）。长期服用使身体轻盈。又名蜀枣。生长在山谷地区。
名字也是茱萸，但药性治疗大不相同。梅树的叶子浓绿稠密，杏树的枝头红花喧闹。棘刺同样酸涩，荆桃（樱桃）袭取了它的外貌。春天的气息半含未放，像雀酥（一种食物或植物别称）一样调和。
寇宗奭说：山茱萸与吴茱萸非常不相似，治疗作用大不相同，不知道是什么原因命名的。《孟子》说：它的性质与人不同。
苏颂说：叶子像梅树且有刺，二月开花像杏花，四月果实像酸枣。薛能的诗写道：辞别树林绿叶尚且稠密。《遁斋闲览》记载：张子野说：莫非是“红杏枝头闹”尚书的那位吗？《尔雅注》说：荆桃就是现在的樱桃。李时珍说：陶弘景注解说：山茱萸及樱桃都说类似胡颓子，凌冬不凋谢，也就是雀酥。吴地人称它为半含春，形状俨然像山茱萸，酸涩的味道也相同。
[Qinpi]
Bitter in taste, slightly cold in nature. It primarily treats Wind-Cold-Damp Bi syndrome (a condition characterized by pain, numbness, and limited mobility of limbs and joints caused by the invasion of Wind, Cold, and Damp pathogens). It eliminates the biting cold sensation on the body surface. It clears internal heat. It treats green nebulae and white membranes in the eyes. Long-term consumption prevents graying of hair. It makes the body feel light. It grows in river valleys.
The small tree stands tall; tracing its origin to the Qin region. Its branches are as hard as hairpins and as slender as millet seedlings. It cures debility and improves oculocutaneous albinism-like conditions (Woguang). The temples become black like new spring hair, and the eyes shine bright like a full moon. One may try boating on the green waters, carefully perusing the green bamboo slips (referring to medical texts).
Li Shizhen said: The tree is short but the branches stand high, hence it is also called Cenpi. Some say it originally originated from the Qin region. Bai Juyi's poem states: "The roots are sparse like millet, the shoots are stiff like hairpins." (Self-note: Blessing Canghua Fa Shen, meaning wishing for hair to remain black). *Huainanzi* records: "The wood color is green, it treats eye nebulae, and cures Woguang." These are all herbs for treating eye diseases. Wang Jian's poem states: "In spring, black hair grows anew." Su Shi's poem states: "Reading books, the eyes are bright like the moon." Su Gong said: "Take the bark, soak it in water until it turns emerald green; if it dyes paper blue-green, it is authentic." Yu Jianwu's poem states: "The green bamboo slips of Yuling emerge."
[Sichuan Pepper / Zanthoxylum]
Pungent in taste, warm in nature. It treats pathogenic Wind Qi. It warms the Middle Jiao (Spleen and Stomach). It removes Cold-Bi. It strengthens teeth and hair. It brightens the eyes. Long-term consumption makes the body feel light, promotes a rosy complexion, delays aging, and increases longevity. It enhances spiritual clarity. It grows in river valleys.
Five Elements and Five Meanings; radiance scatters across the Heng Star (the fifth star of the Big Dipper). Enhances spiritual clarity to resist dampness, leaving fragrance in my bosom. Mixing with liquid to pray for longevity, smearing houses to multiply descendants. On the first day of the first lunar month, compose odes and engrave inscriptions.
Dongpo's poem notes quote Wu Zhenjun's Song of Taking Pepper: "This pepper corresponds to the Five Elements, its kernel understands the Five Meanings." *Chunqiu Yun Dou Shu* says: "The Jade Heng Star dissipates into pepper." *Xiaojing Yuanshenqi* says: "Pepper and ginger resist dampness." *Shijing* says: "He gave me a handful of pepper." *Song Shu Zhuan* records: "Zang Tao harbors the fragrance of orchids" (metaphor for noble character). Monk Zonglin's poem states: "Mixing the liquid is beautiful." The *Sao Jing* contains... Cheng Gong Sui's inscription states: "Forever assisting in long life (Meishou)." *Hanguan Yi* records: "The Pepper Chamber takes its fruit, spreading to the four directions." *Yueling* records: "On the first day of the first month, descendants each offer pepper wine." Liu Zhen's wife presented an Ode to Pepper Flowers on New Year's Day.
[Mountain Dogwood / Cornus officinalis]
Sour in taste, neutral in nature. It treats evil Qi under the heart, alternating chills and fever, warms the Middle Jiao. It expels Cold-Damp Bi. It eliminates three types of parasites. Long-term consumption makes the body feel light. Also known as Shu Zao (Shu Date). It grows in mountain valleys.
The name is also Zhuyu, but its nature and therapeutic effects are significantly different. Plum leaves are dense and green; apricot branches are bustling with red flowers. Thorns share the sour taste; Jingtao (cherry) mimics its appearance. Spring qi is half-contained, harmonized like Quesu.
Kou Zongshi said: Shan Zhuyu and Wu Zhuyu are very dissimilar, and their therapeutic effects are largely different; I do not know why they share the name. *Mencius* says: "Its nature differs from humans."
Su Song said: Leaves resemble plum trees and have thorns; flowers bloom in the second lunar month resembling apricot blossoms; fruits mature in the fourth lunar month resembling sour dates. Xue Neng's poem states: "Leaving the forest, green leaves are still dense." *Dunzhai Xianlan* records: Zhang Ziyewei said: "Could it be the 'Red Apricot Branches Bustling' Scholar?" *Erya Zhu* says: Jingtao is now Cherry. Li Shizhen said: Tao Hongjing's annotation states: Both Shan Zhuyu and Cherry are said to resemble *Paliurus ramosissimus*, remaining evergreen through winter, which is also Quesu. People in Wu call it Banhan Chun, looking exactly like Shan Zhuyu, with a similar sour and astringent taste.
