Translator's annotation

"Without further preparation this herb is called unprepared cornus (Sheng Shan Zhu Yu / 生山茱萸, or simply Shan Yu / 山萸). Traditionally, the seeds are removed, as they are thought to cause spermatorrhea. This leaves the fruit flesh, called Shan Zhu Yu Rou / 山茱萸肉, which is often simplified to Shan Yu Rou / 山萸肉." (Bensky)
Doc Hay wrote Yu Rou as 㐵肉 probably due to the similar sound of Yú / 㐵 and Yú / 萸.
