(Phonetic notation: "Chi Zhao Qie", cited from *Bencao Shiyi* [Supplement to Materia Medica])
[Correction] Originally appended under the entry for Setaria italica (Millet), now separated into an independent entry.
[Etymology] Qiu (Phonetic notation: "Qu Jiu Qie").
Li Shizhen stated: It is made by stir-frying until fragrant. Thus, the character "Qiu" consists of "Chou" (referring to odor/smell) and the abbreviated form of "Chao" (stir-fry). Liu Xi in *Shiming* [Explaining Names] stated: "Qiu means 'Qu' (to crush/grind)." It refers to cooking rice and then grinding it to make it fine and fragmented.
[Collected Explanations] Su Gong stated: It is made by steaming rice or wheat, roasting them, and then grinding them into powder.
Chen Cangqi stated: People in Hedong use wheat; people in the North use millet; people in the East use polished rice (Jingmi). All are made by drying cooked rice and grinding it. The coarser version is called dry rations (Ganqiu).
Rice, Wheat
[Aroma and Flavor] Sweet, bitter, slightly cold, non-toxic.
Chen Cangqi stated: Sour, cold.
[Indications] Treats middle-jiao deficiency-cold, clears heat and relieves thirst, eliminates the toxicity of mineral drugs (Su Gong). Taken with water, it resolves vexation and heat, stops diarrhea, and consolidates the large intestine (Chen Cangqi). Stir-fried rice cake (*Bencao Gangmu*)
[Etymology] Zi.
Li Shizhen stated: Gao (cake) is steamed from a mixture of broomcorn millet, glutinous rice, and polished rice flour, resembling a solidified paste. When made solely from glutinous rice flour, it is called "Zi". When rice flour is mixed with bean powder, sugar, and honey and steamed, it is called "Er". *Shiming* states: "Zi means soft and tender." "Er implies adhesion, as they stick together." Yang Xiong's *Fangyan* [Regional Dialects] states: "Er is called Gao; some call it Zi; some call it KT (pronounced 'Ling'); some call it (pronounced [sound]). However, there are slight distinctions among them that must be known."
[Aroma and Flavor] Sweet, warm, non-toxic.
Li Shizhen stated: Polished rice cakes are easy to digest and promote food transit. Zi cakes are the hardest to digest, damaging the Spleen and causing accumulation; they should be strictly prohibited for children.
[Indications] Polished rice cake: Nourishes the Spleen and Stomach, thickens the intestines (astringes stool), tonifies Qi, and harmonizes the middle jiao. Zi cake: Tonifies Qi, warms the middle, reduces urination, and firms the stool (Li Shizhen).
[Elucidation] Li Shizhen stated: Late-harvest polished rice cakes can substitute for steamed buns when pillifying Spleen and Stomach herbs, taking advantage of their ease of digestion. Glutinous rice Zi can substitute for glutinous rice paste when pillifying alchemical pills, taking advantage of their adhesiveness. Rice cakes eaten during the Double Ninth Festival mountain-climbing tradition can also be used in medicine. Note: *Shenghui Fang* [Holy Healing Formulas] treats mountain miasma malaria with "Cake Corner Drink": Take half tael of rice cake corners from the ninth day of the ninth lunar month (air-dried), two hundred grains of cold rice from Cold Food Festival, one hundred grains of fermented soybeans (Chidou), one single-clove garlic, and one tael of Rhizoma Dichroae (Changshan); soak in two cups of water.
[Attached Prescriptions] One new prescription.
Elderly person with diarrhea: One tael of dry cake, soaked and dissolved in ginger decoction, taken as a meal replacement. (*Jianbian Fang* [Simple and Effective Formulas])
