[Wangbuliuxing] (Polygonatum Kingianum)
Bitter in taste, neutral in nature. Primarily treats metal wounds, stops bleeding and relieves pain, extracts thorns, and dispels wind-bi (Wind-Bi: a syndrome characterized by pain and numbness due to wind-cold-dampness) and internal cold. Long-term consumption lightens the body, delays aging (The *Taiping Yulan* records "can age"), and increases longevity. Grows in mountain valleys.
*Wu Pu* states: Wangbuliuxing is also known as Wangbuliuxing. Shennong: bitter, neutral; Qibo and Leigong: sweet. Harvested in March and August (*Taiping Yulan*).
Note: Zheng Qiao says: Wangbuliuxing is called Jingonghua (Forbidden Palace Flower) and Jianjinhua (Cut Gold Flower); its leaves resemble flowers, and its fruits are pod-like.
[Shengma] (Cimicifugae Rhizoma)
Sweet in taste, acrid (The *Daguan Bencao* records sweet, neutral). Primarily resolves hundred toxins, kills disasters caused by spirits of old things, and wards off warm diseases, evil toxins, and gu poison. Long-term consumption prevents premature death (The *Daguan Bencao* records: primarily resolves hundred toxins, kills disasters caused by spirits of old things, and wards off epidemic miasma, evil qi, and insect poisons. This uses the text from *Taiping Yulan*). Also known as Zhoushengma (The *Daguan Bencao* writes Zhouma). Grows in mountain valleys (Old editions erroneously wrote "black". According to *Wu Pu*, which states Shennong considered it sweet, this character should be in the original *Benjing*, so it is added here).
*Wu Pu* states: Shengma, Shennong: sweet (*Taiping Yulan*).
*Mingyi Bielu* states: Grows in Yizhou; roots are harvested in February and August and sun-dried.
Note: *Guangya* states: Zhouma is Shengma (according to *Taiping Yulan*).
[Qing] (Sesamum indicum seedling)
Sweet in taste, cold in nature. Primarily treats evil qi in the five zang organs, wind-cold-damp bi, tonifies qi, supplements brain marrow, and strengthens bones and sinews. Long-term consumption clarifies hearing and vision, prevents hunger, prevents aging, and increases longevity. It is the seedling of Jusheng (Sesame). Grows in river valleys (Previously classified under the Grain category, which is incorrect).
*Wu Pu* states: Qingxiang is also known as Mengshen; Shennong: bitter; Leigong: sweet (*Taiping Yulan*).
*Mingyi Bielu* states: Grows in the Central Plains region.
Note: *Baopuzi · Xianyao Pian* states: *Xiaojing · Yuanshenqi* records: Jusheng extends life; it is also said that Jusheng is also known as Huma (Sesame); consuming it prevents aging, resists wind-dampness, and replenishes decline.
