White Dragon Paste
Baengnyong-go
한글 백룡고 · Pinyin Bai Long Gao
A new registration: no 白龍膏 stood in the formula list before, and nothing in the corpus cross-references this name, so there is no shell to fill and no same-name entry to distinguish it from. 柳白皮, willow bark, has no identifier in the herb list — 柳枝梢, the twig tip, is a different part — and is left out of the ingredients. 杏仁油 is registered under the kernel it is pressed from, following the way 海松子油 is handled in 臘享膏. 右七味 counts the seven drugs that are cut up and steeped, excluding the calomel, the frankincense, the lead carbonate, the wax and the oil; the count is internally consistent. ≪無則代香油≫ is a substance gloss, not a cross-reference, so it is printed in parentheses. 黄 is printed 黃, 桒 as 桑 and 㝎 as 定 by the usual normalisations; 白歛 keeps the transcription's form. A collation note 㝎 : 定(First Edition) sits two leaves on, inside the 爐灰膏 leaf, but the character it annotates is 㝎粉 in this leaf; it is a pure glyph variant already covered.
