(Song Dynasty *Kaibao Bencao*)
[Correction] Moved from the Wood Section to this section. Also incorporated "Dinggongji" (Ding Gong's Parasite), which had names but was not used in medicine according to *Bielu*, and "Shinanteng" (Stone South Vine) from *Tujing*.
[Names] Shinanteng (from *Tujing*), Dinggongteng (from *Kaibao Bencao*), Dinggongji (from *Bielu*), Dingfu (from *Bielu*), Fengteng.
Su Song stated: It grows by clinging to southern trees, hence the name Nanteng (Southern Vine).
Chen Cangqi stated: Dinggongji is Dinggongteng. It originally got its name because Ding Gong used it effectively.
[Collection and Explanation] *Bielu* states: Dinggongji parasitizes on rocks and spreads over trees. The leaves are fine, the large branches have red stems, and the root is as thick as Qi Huang (a yellow mineral/root) and contains juice. Harvested on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.
Su Song stated: Nanteng is Dinggongteng. It grows in the valleys of Mount Nan and is now found in Quanzhou and Rongzhou. It grows clinging to south-facing trees; the stem is like a horsewhip, jointed, purple-brown, and the leaves resemble apricot leaves but are pointed. It can be harvested at any time. He also said: Tiantai Shinanteng does not wither in all four seasons. Locals harvest its leaves to treat lower back pain.
Li Shizhen stated: It is now found in many large mountains in Jiangnan and Hunan. The thin vines are round and smooth, purple-green, with one leaf per node. The leaves are dark green, resembling apricot leaves but slightly shorter and denser. Where the stem attaches to the tree, there are small purple warts with tiny holes inside. It remains evergreen throughout the year; both stems and leaves have an odor and are extremely pungent/spicy. White-spotted snakes eat its leaves.
[Flavor and Properties] Pungent, Warm, Non-toxic. *Bielu* states: Sweet.
[Indications] Treats wounds from metal instruments and pain. Promotes longevity (*Bielu*). Treats wind-blood disorders, tonifies the aged, raises Yang, strengthens waist and legs, dispels Bi syndrome (painful obstruction), turns white hair black, drives out cold qi, and expels wind pathogens. Decocted in water for oral administration; or soaked in wine for winter consumption (Chen Cangqi). Decocted in water for oral administration to treat upper jiao Qi rebellion and cough (Li Shizhen).
[Elucidation] Su Song stated: According to *Nanshi*: Xie Shuqian, a man from Yanmen, had a sick mother. He prayed at night and heard a voice from the sky say: "Obtain Dinggongteng to treat her, and she will recover." He consulted doctors and herbal texts but could not find this herb. In the mountains of Yidu, he saw an old man cutting wood, who said it was Dinggongteng, effective for treating wind diseases. Xie bowed and wept, begging for it. The old man showed him the method for soaking it in wine. After receiving it, the old man disappeared. His mother took it and recovered.
Li Shizhen stated: Recently, folk physicians treat various wind diseases by decocting Nanteng with other herbs into a paste for sale, called Nanteng Gao. Since white-spotted snakes favor eating its leaves, it is particularly effective for treating various wind diseases.
[Appendix] Liejie (Recorded in Song *Tujing*)
Su Song stated: It grows in Rongzhou, mostly in bamboo forests. Vines sprout in spring; stems and leaves resemble Dinggongteng but are slender without flowers or fruits. Stems are harvested in September and sun-dried. Flavor is pungent, Warm, Non-toxic. Treats wind-cold in limbs and joints, and acute pain in tendons and vessels. Bathing with the decoction is excellent.
Li Shizhen stated: Yang's *Jiacang Jingyan Fang* contains Liejie Jiu (Liejie Wine) for treating Lijie Wind Pain (Rheumatoid Arthritis-like condition). It uses Liejie, Songjie (Pine Joint), Niuxi (Achyranthes Root), Shudihuang (Prepared Rehmannia Root), and Danggui (Angelica Sinensis), each 1 liang. Ground into coarse powder, placed in a silk bag, and soaked in 200 chan of non-ash wine for three days. Take one chan per dose, add one chan of raw wine, and take warm. My cousin Wu Dongshu, in his early twenties, suffered unbearable pain from this condition. Ma Dongzhi of Fucheng treated him with this formula, and he recovered.
