Excerpt from "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" [Edit this paragraph] Discussions by various experts 1. "Compendium": There is a kind of lacquer tree growing in Guangzhou and Zhejiang today.

Once the intestines and stomach are clear, the five internal organs will be at peace, and the flaccidity and numbness will be adjusted. There is another syndrome of injury, which is specifically based on the theory of blood. The blood covering is tangible, and the body is affected by the disease. However, if the pungent temperature dissipates the knots and has a salty taste, it can be absorbed into the blood and eliminated. If the blood stasis disappears, it will definitely harm the self-harmony. The muscles and bones continue on their own, and the marrow and brain are self-sufficient.

"Shu Materia Medica": How black is the best varnish? , if it is iron and stone, it is good; if it is yellow and tender, it is not good if it is like a honeycomb.
