"

② "Fengyuan of Ben Jing" says: "lianxu is an important medicine for secreting astringent essence. In San Yin, Guzhen pill and jushengzi pill should be used, but those who want to be diligent and thin should be used.

③ "Seeking truth from Materia Medica" says: "Lotus beard is sweet, warm and astringent. But most of them are astringent, not like the cold and astringent of the dragon bone.

Jinying has only the power of blocking astringency, but not the power of clearing the heart and dredging the kidney. "
