The use of Fu Shen and Fu Shen Mu as medicines has had a long history. Today Fu Shen is still taken as bulk medicinal materials, whereas Fu Shen Mu had disappeared in the medical market. Fu Shen, Yun Fu Shen, Bai Fu Shen, and Bao Mu Fu Shen were used in clinical application in the Qing Royals. Bai Fu Shen and Fu Shen Mu are still kept as speciment in the Palace Museum today. It was found that Bai Fu Shen in the Qing Royals was the same as Fu Shen after peeling and pine roots recorded in the herbal literatures of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with their character tests and historical analysis. It can be inferred that Fu Shen, Yun Fu Shen and Bai Fu Shen recorded in the Qing Royals were actually Fu Shen, with pine roots in sclerotia and after peeling and pine roots removed in processing. Bao Mu Fu Shen and Bao Fu Shen should refer to Fu Shen with pine roots. Fu Shen Mu should mean Fu Shen without white sclerotia and peel during processing. Fu Shen, currently used clinically, is Bao Mu Fu Shen in the Qing Dynasty. Fu Shen distinguishes greatly from Fu Shen Mu in their effects. Such identification and analysis of herbs provides a way of thinking for further hurb studies of the Qing Dynasty.
