Born in Hedong, Pyeongtaek. Kill aconitum poison.
The jujube wood has thorns in the heart, and the small leaves are born in April, and the sharp is shiny, and the ground must be solid for cattle and horses, and the desolation is pests and pests. In May, the small flowers are white, and when the silkworm is slightly green, the big silkworm square enters the cluster, and the bamboo branch hits its branches, and the wild flowers are vibrated away, and the flowers are not fruitful. In June, it is firm and blue-white, and in August it is all red, and it is shocked, and the one who is exposed to dryness is the best. At sunrise on the first day of the first lunar month, the anti-axe mottled vertebrae, and the name is called marrying jujube.

Jujube wood is red and thorny, and it is ripe and ripe, and it is not full of fire virtue. And the taste is sweet and smelly, and it is pure earth, so it is indeed a thing that generates earth with fire. The birth of fire. How can every fire meet things and cause ashes to turn into earth, and it is good to transmute ears with air? The virtue of covering the jujube and the wood fire becomes the use of fire and earth. If the husband uses sweet and slow incense in the meantime, it can stagnate, but not animals. Only the use of fire and qi can support the evil of the henchmen in the middle, the qi of the twelve meridians can be carried out in the middle of the peace, and the cashier who can pass through the nine orifices can be calmed by calming the stomach. What is it? The cold and evil are people, and the middle qi is not enough to chase them, and the fate is less qi (guizhi soup, small chaihu soup, etc.). The heat is evil, and the middle qi is not enough to chase it, and the edge of the Shaojin liquid is also (skullcap soup, Yue Wan soup, etc.). The pulse is knotted, the heart palpitates, and the qi of the twelve meridians is insufficient. The fire is against the upper qi, the throat is unfavorable, the fluid is insufficient, and the stomach qi is uneven, and the nine orifices are not in harmony (boiled licorice soup, Maimendong soup). The extreme power of pushing an can make those who are in turmoil receive it, and then they will be shocked. The extreme power of promoting the twelve meridians can make those who transmute the meridian qi without stagnation, and the limbs will be heavy.
The powder is used to nourish the spleen and stomach in peace, and the tonic is used to help the meridian qi to eliminate evil qi, which is called a hundred medicines. It is different from licorice, and it is different from the sum of stone honey. Or say: If fire and earth are combined, then the soil is dry rather than the soil of living things. Said: This is the phase of fire and earth, not the harmony. The sun is at its highest. The earth is the most abundant of the earth. And the soil is moist and hot, when it rains heavily, it is partial to the day in the North Continent, and when it hedges against the ground, it is also all lush, and the grass and trees are clear, which can be said to be dry and does not give birth to all things. The jujube meat is thick and contains Jin, and the liquid is close to the meat, and it cannot be squeezed and divided, and the juice can be taken by pressing it as something else. It's not like the soil of the run. That is, if it is thrown into the fire and burned, the liquid will disappear with the fire and become ashes, which is not like the humidity of the heat in the heat. And the qi of the time, the cloud dragon rises and falls, and the wind and thunder excite the soup, the more stuffy and the more extended, not like the quality of the jujube is sluggish and dredged. The so-called "Don't Record" is powerful, except for boredom, and those who are hanging in their hearts have also obtained their most mysterious purpose. If the intestines are sluggish, the fluid is defeated and does not flow close to the soil, so it can also be cured.
