鷄舌香。吳時外國傳曰。五馬州出雞舌香。續搜神記曰。劉廣豫章人。年少未婚。至田舍見一女云。我是何參軍女。年十四而夭。為西王母所養。使與下土人災。廣與之纏綿。其日於席下得手巾裹雞舌香。其母取巾燒之。乃是火浣布。南州異物志曰。雞舌香出杜薄州云。是草萎可含香口。俞益期箋曰。外國老胡說眾香。共是一木。木華為雞舌香。

> Clove (jishexiang): The Account of Foreign Countries in the Wu Period says: 'Wuma Prefecture produces clove.' The Xu soushen ji says: 'Liu Guang of Yuzhang was young and unmarried. Going to a farmhouse, he saw a girl who said, "I am the daughter of Adjutant He. I died young at fourteen, and was raised by the Queen Mother of the West, who sent me to bring disasters to the lower earth." Guang had an intimate affair with her. That day, beneath the mat, he found a handkerchief wrapping clove. His mother took the handkerchief and burned it, and it turned out to be fire-proof cloth.' The Record of Strange Things in the Southern Regions says: 'Clove is produced in Dubo Prefecture; it is said to be an herb that can be held in the mouth to perfume the breath.' Yu Yiqi's Letter says: 'Old foreign monks say the various incenses all come from a single tree; the flowers of the tree are clove.'
