柏实：味甘，性平。主治惊悸不安，安定五脏，补益元气，祛除风湿痹痛。长期服用，能使面色红润光泽，耳目灵敏，不感饥饿，延缓衰老，身体轻盈，延年益寿。生长于山谷之中。
《名医别录》记载：柏实产于泰山，柏叶尤其优良，四季均应按方位采集，阴干备用。
考证：《说文解字》说：柏，就是鞠；《广雅》说：栝，就是柏；《尔雅》说：柏，是熟（指成熟）。郭璞注释《礼记》说：鬯日以...（此处原文有缺漏或异文，依原文直译）。《范子计然》说：柏脂，出产于三辅地区。上等柏脂，每升价格七千钱；中等柏脂，每斗价格三千钱。
茯苓：味甘，性平。主治胸胁部气逆上冲（《太平御览》作疝气），忧愁愤懑，惊恐邪祟，心悸伴心下结聚疼痛，寒热往来，烦闷咳嗽气逆，口舌焦干，通利小便。长期服用，能安魂、养神，不感饥饿，延年益寿。又名茯菟（《太平御览》作茯神。考证：原本记载：那些抱附在树根上的茯苓，名叫茯神。此处“黑”字为衍文或误植）。生长于山谷之中。
吴普记载：茯苓能通神，桐君认为其味甘；雷公、扁鹊认为其味甘，无毒。有的生长在茂州大松树根下，深入地下三丈一尺。二月七日采集（据《太平御览》）。
《名医别录》记载：那些抱附在树根上的茯苓，名叫茯神，产于泰山大松树下，二月、八月采集，阴干备用。
考证：《广雅》说：茯神，就是茯苓；《范子计然》说：茯苓，出产于嵩山和三辅地区。《列仙传》说：昌容采集茯苓，吞服食用；《史记》褚先生引用传说说：下面有伏灵，上面有菟丝，所谓伏灵，是在菟丝之下，形状像飞鸟，伏灵就是千年的松根，吃了它不会死亡。《淮南子·说林训》说：挖掘茯苓，菟丝就会枯死。旧版写作“茯”，是不正确的。
Bai Shi (Platycladi Semen): Sweet in taste, neutral in nature. It primarily treats palpitations and fright, calms the five Zang organs, tonifies Qi, and dispels dampness and bi-syndrome. Long-term consumption makes one radiant and beautiful in complexion, sharpens hearing and vision, prevents hunger, delays aging, lightens the body, and prolongs life. It grows in mountain valleys.
*Famous Physicians' Records* states: It is produced in Mount Tai; the leaves of the cypress are particularly effective. They should be harvested according to the directions in each of the four seasons and dried in the shade.
Note: *Shuowen Jiezi* says: "Cypress" is "Ju"; *Guaya* says: "Kuo" is "Cypress"; *Erya* says: "Cypress" means "mature". Guo Pu annotates *Liji*: "Chang yi ri..." [Text incomplete/variant]. *Fanzi Jiran* states: Cypress resin is produced in the Sanchu region. First-grade resin costs seven thousand coins per sheng; second-grade costs three thousand coins per dou.
Fu Ling (Poria): Sweet in taste, neutral in nature. It primarily treats rebellious Qi in the chest and hypochondrium (recorded as hernia qi in *Taiping Yulan*), sorrow and indignation, fright and evil influences, palpitations with knotting and pain below the heart, alternating chills and fever, vexation and fullness, coughing and rebellious Qi, scorched mouth and dry tongue, and promotes urination. Long-term consumption calms the Hun (ethereal soul), nourishes the Shen (spirit), prevents hunger, and prolongs life. Also known as Fu Tu (*Taiping Yulan* records it as Fu Shen). Note: The original text states: Those that embrace the roots are named Fu Shen. The character "Hei" is likely an error or interpolation. It grows in mountain valleys.
Wu Pu states: Poria enhances spiritual clarity. Tong Jun considers its taste sweet; Lei Gong and Bian Que consider its taste sweet and non-toxic. Some grow under the roots of large pines in Maozhou, penetrating three zhang and one chi into the ground. Harvested on the seventh day of the second month (*Taiping Yulan*).
*Famous Physicians' Records* states: Those that embrace the roots are named Fu Shen, produced under large pines in Mount Tai, harvested in the second and eighth months, and dried in the shade.
Note: *Guaya* states: "Fu Shen" is "Fu Ling"; *Fanzi Jiran* states: "Fu Ling" is produced in Songshan and the Sanchu region. *Liexian Zhuan* states: Changrong collected Fu Ling and consumed it; Mr. Chu in *Shiji* cites a legend: "Below there is Fuling, above there is Tusizi." What is called Fuling is beneath the Tusizi, resembling the shape of a flying bird. Fuling is the root of a thousand-year-old pine; consuming it grants immortality. *Huainanzi · Shuilin Xun* states: When Poria is dug up, Tusizi dies. The old version wrote "Fu," which is incorrect.
