Notes

1. The logic behind acupoints sealing is to block the circulation of the meridians to prevent the venom from spreading. It's such a common trope it doesn't even have to be mentioned explicitly.

2. 老牛吃嫩草 translated literally. Means an older person hitting on a younger one.

3. Saying someone is a rabbit/hare is both an insult and a reference to homosexuality as "rabbit" can be slang for a gay man. It also can be used generically to mean someone cute and naive. Rabbits populate BL stories quite abundantly because of those symbolisms.

4. 十八摸 A folk tune with many variations, generally about a guy trying to grope a lady and the comedy that ensues.

5. 粽子 (zongzi) is a kind of glutinous rice confection stuffed with a salty or sweet filling that is wrapped in bamboo leaves.

6. 圣手 lit. "holy hands" is used to refer to great doctors; it is also the chapter's title. 温如玉 lit. "warm as jade" is a delicate and sophisticated name.

7. 谷妙妙 lit. "grain clever/wonderful". Suggest someone incredibly smart. Also a play on words homophonous with "grain sprout"
