Guarding the Spirit Elixir
Boryeong-dan
한글 보령단 · Pinyin Bao Ling Dan
The transcription reads 斑猫去頭足翅 and a collation note two leaves on, at the foot of 021a inside the 金蚕蠱毒 section, records 翅 : 趐(First Edition); 翅 occurs in this leaf and nowhere in the leaf the note sits in, so the note annotates this formula. The transcription's 翅 is printed. 赤足蜈蚣 二條(一生一灸) is printed as the transcription has it; 一灸 reads as 一炙, one roasted, and 灸/炙 is not normalized in this corpus. 黃藥子, airpotato yam, has no herb id and is left out of the ingredient list. 猫 and 蝎 are printed as the transcription has them. The transcription writes 黄 for 黃, 隂 for 陰, 清 for 淸 and 浄 for 淨; the standard forms are printed, and the porcelain box is apparatus, not an ingredient.
