daiin cannot be 'zhǔ'. The outputs given below show that the probability of it being so is very very small.
In quire 20 the variability of the 3 character string daiin when it appears either on its own or as part of a longer word is 8.79 standard deviation from what would be expected if the words were placed randomly. The variability of daiin when it appears on its own is 2.94 standard deviations. ( I am using the GC transliteration and counting 101-&, 101-6, 101-7 and 101-8 characters as all being d. And iin is one character in GC. )
But in the SBJ the variability of the 'zhǔzhì' word ( 主 治 ) is -0.42. ( Using your bencao-fu.pyj as my source, and which gives 'zhǔ zhì' as one word and not as two words. )
This means that 'zhǔzhì' in SBJ is distributed within the bounds of what would be expected. daiin, however, either on its own or as a part of a longer word is not distributed as expected.
