【铅丹】
味辛，性微寒。主治胃气上逆引起的呕吐反胃，以及惊风、癫痫等病证。能清除内热，降逆下气。经过炼化可还原为纯净的铅（九光指极纯之铅）。长期服用能够通利神明。产于平原沼泽地带。（现代称为黄丹）
青色的金属，性质涩而具有固摄作用，是优秀的冶炼材料用于销熔。将其分离形态后点入醋中，又能恢复其本质并披上葱白的色泽。霜状砒霜的毒性被其伏制，汞在釜中与泥封配合。通过盐与砂的选择处理，使元气液体冲和交融。
《说文解字》记载：铅是青色的金属。王好古说：涩味可以去除滑脱之症从而固护正气。寇宗奭说：铅丹是由铅转化而成的。《礼记》提到：优秀冶铸工匠的儿子（懂得冶炼技术）。
《丹房鉴源》记载炒制铅丹的方法：使用土硫黄、硝石，熔化铅成为汁液，滴入醋使其反应。待变成粉末时就成为了丹。如果要将丹转回铅，用葱白汁拌合铅丹，形成金色的汁液，倾倒出来就变回了铅。日华子说：铅丹可以伏制砒霜。陶弘景说：涂抹丹釜所需（的材料）。李时珍说：凡是用铅丹都必须漂洗去除硝盐和砂石。当元液刚刚融化时……
【粉锡】
味辛，性寒。主治潜伏体内的尸毒及虫蛇咬伤，杀灭三虫（体内寄生虫）。又名解锡。锡做的镜鼻，主治女子经血闭阻，腹中结块（症瘕）潜伏于肠间导致的不孕。产于山谷之中。
铅质的银色光泽，生成香料混合的粉末。在糟瓮中悬挂蒸煮，在风炉中扇火紧控。裂开的鼻部通达精气，照亮内心开启蕴藏的智慧。既可以是贼害之物，也可以是媒介，起到救治裁断的作用。
《说文解字注》记载：颜色像银但本质是铅。庾信的诗：“和粉杂生香”。《桂海虞衡志》记载：将黑铅放入糟瓮中覆盖孵化，称之为桂粉。李时珍说：铅和锡属于一类。将熔化的片状铅安放在水甑内，用盐泥牢固密封，放置在风炉中用火封存养育，就形成了粉。姜质赋中提到：裂鼻的芬芳。《子华子》说：肺的精气其上窍通于鼻。古镜铭文：“照心照胆保千春”。元代乐章：“提纲开蕴”。《土宿指南》说：在五金之中，唯独锡容易制作。失去药用价值则成为贼害，得到药用价值则成为媒介。梁简文帝论述：救治头痛的功效。裴度的书信：有所裁断标准。
[Lead Carbonate (Qian Dan)]
Pungent in taste, slightly cold in nature. It primarily treats stomach qi rebelling upward causing vomiting and regurgitation, as well as convulsions and epilepsy. It clears heat and directs qi downward. Through refining and smelting, it can be restored to pure lead (Jiuguang refers to extremely pure lead). Long-term consumption facilitates the illumination of the mind and spirit. It is found in plains and marshes. (Currently known as Huangdan or Minium)
A blue-green metal, astringent in nature with solidifying properties, an excellent material for smelting. When its form is separated and points are added to vinegar, it returns to its original substance and takes on the color of green onions. It subdues the toxicity of arsenic frost; mercury in a cauldron is sealed with mud. Through the selection of salt and cinnabar, the primal fluid merges and blends harmoniously.
The *Shuowen Jiezi* states: Lead is a blue-green metal. Wang Haogu said: Astringency can remove slippage and consolidate qi. Kou Zongshi said: Qian Dan is formed by transforming lead. The *Book of Rites* mentions: The son of a skilled metallurgist [understands the craft].
The *Danfang Jianyuan* records the method for stir-frying Qian Dan: Use earth sulfur and saltpeter, melt lead into liquid, and drip vinegar into it. Wait until it becomes powder, then it forms Dan. To transform Dan back into lead, mix Qian Dan with juice from white scallion bulbs to form a golden liquid; pouring it out yields lead again. Ri Huaizi stated: Qian Dan subdues arsenic. Tao Hongjing stated: It is required for coating炼丹 furnaces. Li Shizhen stated: Whenever using Qian Dan, one must rinse away saltpeter and salt, and winnow away sand and stones. When the primal fluid is just melting...
[Powdered Tin / Powdered Lead (Fen Xi)]
Pungent in taste, cold in nature. It treats latent corpse-poison (severe toxic conditions), insect and snake bites, and kills three types of parasites (San Chong). Also known as Jie Xi. Tin mirror handles treat amenorrhea (blood obstruction) in women, abdominal masses (Zhengjia) lurking in the intestines causing infertility. It is found in mountain valleys.
Lead possesses a silver luster, generating fragrant powders. Suspended in wine lees jars for steaming, tightly fanned in wind furnaces. Cracked noses transmit essence, illuminating the heart and opening hidden wisdom. It can be a thief or a medium, serving as a remedy and standard.
The *Shuowen Jiezi Zhu* notes: Silver-colored but with a lead texture. Yu Xin's poem: "Mixed powder generates fragrance." *Guanghai Yuheng Zhi* records: Placing black lead in wine lees jars to incubate and transform it, called Guifen. Li Shizhen stated: Lead and tin belong to the same category. Melt sheets of lead, place them inside a water steamer, seal firmly with salt mud, and nurture with fire in a wind furnace to form powder. Jiang Zhi's Fu mentions: The fragrance that cracks the nose. *Zihua Zi* states: The essence of the Lung opens upwards through the nose. Ancient mirror inscriptions: "Illuminating the heart and gallbladder preserves for a thousand springs." Yuan Dynasty lyrics: "Opening the outline and hidden wisdom." *Tuxu Zhinan* states: Among the five metals, only tin is easy to manipulate. Losing its medicinal property makes it a thief; gaining its medicinal property makes it a medium. Emperor Jianwen of Liang discussed: The efficacy of treating headaches. Pei Du's letters: Having standards for judgment.
