[Names] Chi Teng (Red Vine) (*Bencao Gangmu*), Hong Teng (Red Vine) (*Bencao Gangmu*)
[Collection and Explanation] Zang Qi stated: It grows in deep mountains of the southern regions. The bark is red, about the thickness of a finger, suitable for binding objects, and peels off in flakes naturally.
[Flavor and Properties] Bitter, neutral in nature, non-toxic.
[Indications] Ascariasis (roundworm infection), take the decoction. Toothache, crush and hold in the mouth. Boil porridge to feed dogs to remove... (Zang Qi). Treats various wind-pathogen disorders, unblocks the Five Lin (dysuria syndromes).
[Innovation and Clarification] Li Shizhen said: Chi Teng excels at killing parasites and promoting urination. Hong Mai's *Yijian Zhi* records: Zhao Zishan suffered severely from Taenia solium infection (tapeworm disease). His physician ordered him to abstain from alcohol, but he had a strong habit of drinking. One day, while staying at Tianwang Temple in Shaowu, he returned drunk at midnight, extremely thirsty. He saw water in a jar in the corridor, clear and bright under the moonlight, and drank it continuously; it tasted as sweet as syrup. By dawn, worms covered the mat, his heart and abdomen felt instantly relieved, and his chronic illness was cured. Everyone was amazed. Upon inspection, the water he drank was actually the water in which the temple servant had soaked Red Vine roots for making straw sandals.
[Attached Prescriptions] One new prescription.
Dysuria with painful dribbling (Five Lin): Chi Teng (the variety used for making straw sandals), Bai Fuling (Poria), and Zhuma Gen (Ramie Root) in equal parts, ground into powder. Take one qian with boiling water; the effect is miraculous.
(From Song Dynasty *Kaibao Bencao*)
[Collection and Explanation] Zang Qi stated: The vine bark adheres to the tree, wrapping around the center in layers. In April, it produces lovely purple flowers. People in Chang'an also plant it to decorate courtyards and ponds. In the Jiangdong region, it is called Zhaodou Teng. Its fruit resembles a pod; the seeds inside, when roasted until fragrant and added to wine, prevent spoilage. If wine has spoiled, using it can restore the quality. Crushed flowers applied to wine or vinegar cause them to turn white and spoil.
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet, slightly warm in nature, slightly toxic.
[Indications] Boiled into a syrup and taken orally to promote water metabolism. Mainly treats edema (Zang Qi).
(From *Haiyao Bencao*)

[Names] Su Song stated: The vine climbs over ten zhang high; wild geese flying by often get entangled in it. Some say geese carried seeds to Yanmen Pass in Daizhou where they grew, hence the name.

Su Song stated: Those produced in Yazhou grow as vines winding around large trees. The leaves resemble those of tea plants in color and shape, without flowers or fruits. Locals harvest the shoots in April for medicinal use.
