（宋《开宝》）
【校正】自木部移入此。
【释名】大腹槟榔（《图经》）、猪槟榔。
时珍曰∶大腹以形名，所以别鸡心槟榔也。
【集解】志曰∶大腹生南海诸国，所出与槟榔相似，茎、叶、根、干小异耳。
弘景曰∶向阳者为槟榔，向阴者为大腹。
时珍曰∶大腹子出岭表、滇南，即槟榔中一种腹大形扁而味涩者，不似槟榔尖长味良耳
，所谓猪槟榔者是矣。盖亦土产之异，今人不甚分别。陶氏分阴阳之说，亦是臆见。按∶刘
恂《岭表录异》云∶交广生者，非舶上槟榔，皆大腹子也，彼中悉呼为槟榔。自嫩及老，采
实啖之。以扶留藤、瓦屋灰同食之，以祛瘴疠。收其皮入药，皮外黑色，皮内皆筋丝如椰子
皮。又《云南记》云∶大腹槟榔每枝有三、二百颗，青时剖之，以一片蒌叶及蛤粉卷和食之，
即减涩味。观此二说，则大腹子与槟榔皆可通用，但力比槟榔稍劣耳。
大腹子
【气味】辛，涩，温，无毒。
【主治】与槟榔同功（时珍）。
大腹皮
【修治】思邈曰∶鸩鸟多集槟榔树上。凡用槟榔皮，宜先以酒洗，后以大豆汁再洗过，
晒干入灰火烧煨，切用。
【气味】辛，微温，无毒。
【主治】冷热气攻心腹、大肠壅毒，痰膈醋心。并以姜、盐同煎，入疏气药用之，良
（《开宝》）。下一切气，止霍乱，通大小肠，健脾开胃调中（大明）。降逆气，消肌肤中水气
浮肿，香港脚壅逆，瘴疟痞满，胎气恶阻
【附方】新二。
漏疮恶秽∶大腹皮煎汤洗之。（《直指》）
乌癞风疮∶大腹子，生者或干者，连全皮勿伤动，以酒一升浸之，慢火熬干为末，腊猪
脂和敷。（《圣济总录》）

[Correction] Transferred from the Wood section to this section.
[Names] Dafu Binglang (Dafu Areca Nut) (*Tujing*), Zhu Binglang (Pig Areca Nut).
Li Shizhen said: "Dafu" is named after its shape, used to distinguish it from Jixin Binglang (Chicken-heart Areca Nut).
[Collected Explanations] Su Song said: Dafu grows in various countries of the South Sea. Its origin resembles Binglang (Areca Nut), with only slight differences in stem, leaves, roots, and trunk.
Tao Hongjing said: Those growing towards the sun are Binglang (Areca Nut); those growing towards the shade are Dafu.
Li Shizhen said: Dafuzi (Fruit of Areca Catechu) originates from Lingnan and southern Yunnan. It is a variety of Binglang (Areca Nut) characterized by a large belly, flat shape, and astringent taste, unlike the sharp, long, and superior-tasting Binglang (Areca Nut). This is what is called Zhu Binglang (Pig Areca Nut). It is likely due to different local productions, and people nowadays do not distinguish them well. Tao's theory dividing them into yin and yang is also subjective speculation. According to Liu Xun's *Lingbiao Luyi*: The produce from Jiaozhou and Guangzhou is not the imported Binglang (Areca Nut), but all Dafuzi (Fruit of Areca Catechu), which locals all call Binglang (Areca Nut). They harvest and eat the fruits from tender to mature. They chew them together with Fuleng Vine (Betel Leaf Vine) and Wawu Hui (Tile Ash) to dispel miasma and pestilence. The peel is collected for medicinal use; the outer surface is black, and the inner part consists of fibrous strands similar to coconut husk. Furthermore, *Yunnan Ji* records: Each branch of Dafu Binglang (Dafu Areca Nut) bears three or two hundred fruits. When green, they are sliced, wrapped with one leaf of Betel Nut Vine (*Piper betle*) and clam powder, and eaten together to reduce the astringency. Based on these two accounts, both Dafuzi (Fruit of Areca Catechu) and Binglang (Areca Nut) can be used interchangeably, although their efficacy is slightly inferior to that of standard Binglang (Areca Nut).
Dafuzi (Fruit of Areca Catechu)
[Flavor and Toxicity] Acrid, astringent, warm, non-toxic.
[Indications] Has the same function as Binglang (Areca Nut) (Li Shizhen).
Dafupi (Pericarpium Arecae)
[Preparation] Sun Simiao said: Poisonous birds often gather on Areca trees. Whenever using Areca pericarp, it should first be washed with wine, then washed again with soybean juice, dried, roasted in ashes until warm, and sliced for use.
[Flavor and Toxicity] Acrid, slightly warm, non-toxic.
[Indications] Treats cold and heat qi attacking the heart and abdomen, accumulation of toxins in the large intestine, phlegm obstruction in the diaphragm, and acid regurgitation. Decoct together with ginger and salt, and administer with Qi-regulating herbs for good effect (*Kaibao Bencao*). Descends all types of stagnant qi, stops cholera, unblocks the large and small intestines, strengthens the spleen, opens the appetite, and regulates the middle jiao (Chen Zangqi). Descends rebellious qi, resolves edema caused by water qi in the skin and muscles, treats severe foot disease (Hongjiaojiao) with stagnation and rebellion, malarial fevers with fullness and obstruction, and fetal malposition with nausea and vomiting.
[Attached Prescriptions] Two new prescriptions.
Leaking sores with foul discharge: Wash the affected area with decoction of Dafupi (Pericarpium Arecae) (*Zhizhi Fang*).
Black leprosy and wind sores: Use Dafuzi (Fruit of Areca Catechu), either fresh or dried. Keep the whole peel intact without damage. Soak in one sheng of wine, slowly boil until dry, grind into powder, and mix with lard from the twelfth lunar month to apply externally (*Shengji Zonglu*).
