Translator's annotation
"Sichuan magnolia bark (Chuan Hou Po / 川厚朴) is considered to be of better quality." (Bensky)
KWC2007.1.253: The other characters on the box are untranslated (Yu ☐☐ / 玉☐☐). In the box, there is also a bag with text: Bái Sháo / 白芍 (KWC2007.1.239). The bag was empty.
KWC2007.1.3793: The herb is labeled Jin Xing Chuan Po / 金星川朴 but does not look like Hou Po. It looks like the herb has crystals on them. Unsure what "Golden Star (金星)" means in this context - it may be a brand or specific type of processing.
