Compendium of Materia Medica
Li Shizhen's (1578) "Bencao Gangmu" ("Compendium of Materia Medica") lists Penghou under Chapter 51, which primarily describes medicinal uses for monkeys. The entry quotes the "Baize tu" and "Soushenji" and describes Penghou meat as "sweet, sour, warm, and nontoxic" (tr. Luo 2003: 4132).
