（本经上品）
【气味】苦平，无毒。
【主治】主腰痛，小儿背强，痈肿，充肌肤，坚齿发，长须眉，安胎。其实主明目，轻
身通神。
【核】曰∶近海州邑，及海外之境，地暖不蚕，桑无采剪之苦，气浓意浓，兼之鸟食榕
实，粪落桑上，乘气而生。叶如橘而软浓，茎如槐而肥脆。三四月作黄白花，六七月结黄绿
实；大如小豆，汁稠粘、或断茎视之，色深黄者良。世俗多以寄生他木上者充之，不惟气性
不同，且反生灾害矣。修治，根茎枝叶，并铜刀锉细，阴干，不可见火。缪仲淳先生云∶感
桑木精气而寄生，故其主治，一本于桑，更抽拔其英粹，功用尤胜于桑矣。
【 】曰∶木性之易生者榕桑称最，桑虽曲直仆伛，靡不怒生，榕附水土沙木，莫不勃
发。更异者，鸟啖榕实，遗出桑上，遂尔寄生。故主形骸寄生之齿发须眉，及胞胎痈肿。坚
之、长之、安之、疗之，其功独着。若主腰痛，治背强，充肌肤，及明目轻身通神者，此属
形骸亲相分，特易易耳。先人云∶寄生桑木身半，大似腰吕之象，则凡腰吕之疾为宜。一名
寓木，寓木者，如胆寄肝，当治胆病。胎亦寄，发齿须眉亦寄也。实之通神，当切于魂，断
决，疑斯释矣。又云∶人世如寄，此复寄寄，取彼寄寄，以益其寄。
（易生速计之流，得有着脚处，随计就计矣。然木性之易生者，榕桑称最，真真两得其
计矣。）
【本经上品】
【气味】味苦，性平，无毒。
【主治】主要治疗腰痛，小儿背部僵硬，痈肿，使肌肤充盈，坚固牙齿和头发，促进胡须眉毛生长，安胎。其果实主要用于明目，使身体轻健，通灵达神。
【核】曰：靠近沿海的州县，以及海外的地区，气候温暖湿润，不需要养蚕，桑树没有采摘修剪的劳苦，因此气息浓郁、意蕴深厚。加上鸟类食用榕树的果实，粪便落在桑树上，桑寄生便乘着这种气机而生。它的叶子像橘子叶那样柔软浓密，茎像槐树茎那样肥厚脆嫩。三四月间开出黄白色的花，六七月结出黄绿色的果实；果实大小如小豆，汁液稠粘，如果折断茎来看，颜色深黄的为佳品。世俗之人多以寄生在其他树木上的同类植物来冒充它，这不仅气性和药效不同，而且反而会产生危害。炮制方法是将根、茎、枝叶一起用铜刀锉细，阴干，不可见火。缪仲淳先生说：桑寄生感受桑木的精气而寄生，所以它的主治功效，根本在于桑，又汲取了桑的精华，功用尤其胜过桑树本身。
【】曰：树木中容易生长的，榕树和桑树最为显著。桑树即使弯曲、倒下、佝偻，无不蓬勃生长；榕树依附于水土沙石或树木，无不勃发。更奇特的是，鸟类吞食榕树果实，排泄在桑树上，于是便寄生于此。所以它能治疗形体上寄生的牙齿、头发、胡须、眉毛，以及胞胎和痈肿。坚固它们、生长它们、安固它们、治疗它们，功效独特显著。至于治疗腰痛，缓解背部僵硬，充盈肌肤，以及明目、轻身、通神，这些属于形体内部亲相分离（指脏腑与形体关系），处理起来特别容易。先人说：桑寄生生长在桑树身上的一半位置，很像腰部器官的形象，那么凡是腰部器官的疾病都适宜使用。又名“寓木”，寓木的意思，就像胆寄居在肝中，应当治疗胆病。胞胎也是寄生的，头发、牙齿、胡须、眉毛也是寄生的。果实的通神作用，应当切于魂，关于决断的问题，疑惑由此解除。又说：人世如同寄居，这里又是寄居在寄居之上，取那寄居之物，以增益这寄居之身。
（这是易生速计的一类，得以有落脚之处，随着计谋就势而为。然而树木中容易生长的，榕树和桑树最为显著，真正两得其计谋了。）
[Shangpin Category of the Classic of Materia Medica]
[Flavor and Property] Bitter, neutral, non-toxic.
[Indications] Primarily treats lower back pain, stiffness of the infant's back, carbuncles and sores, fills the skin and flesh, strengthens teeth and hair, promotes the growth of beard and eyebrows, and calms the fetus. Its fruits primarily brighten the eyes, lighten the body, and facilitate spiritual connection.
[Analysis] It is said: In coastal prefectures and overseas regions, where the climate is warm and humid, silkworms are not raised, and mulberry trees suffer no hardship from picking or pruning; thus, their Qi (vital energy) and intent are rich. Furthermore, birds consume banyan fruits, and their droppings fall on mulberry trees, allowing Taxus chinensis var. media (Sangsheng Jisheng, Mistletoe growing on Mulberry) to grow by riding this Qi. Its leaves are soft and dense like orange leaves, and its stems are thick and brittle like locust tree stems. In the third and fourth lunar months, it produces yellowish-white flowers; in the sixth and seventh lunar months, it bears yellow-green fruits. The fruits are as large as small beans, with thick, sticky juice. If the stem is broken for inspection, those with a deep yellow color are considered superior. Common people often substitute it with similar parasites growing on other trees, which not only differs in Qi and property but also causes harm. Processing method: The roots, stems, leaves, and branches are all finely chopped with a copper knife and dried in the shade; fire must be avoided. Mr. Miu Zhongchun stated: Since Sangsheng Jisheng grows parasitically by absorbing the essence and Qi of the mulberry tree, its therapeutic indications are fundamentally based on the mulberry, yet it extracts the finest essence, making its efficacy even greater than that of the mulberry itself.
[Commentary] Among trees, the banyan and mulberry are noted for their ease of growth. Even if the mulberry tree is bent, fallen, or hunched, it grows vigorously; the banyan tree sprouts robustly whether attached to soil, water, sand, or wood. More remarkably, birds eat banyan fruits and excrete them onto mulberry trees, leading to parasitic growth. Therefore, it treats things parasitic to the physical form, such as teeth, hair, beard, and eyebrows, as well as the fetus and carbuncles. By strengthening, promoting growth, stabilizing, and treating these, its unique efficacy stands out. As for treating lower back pain, relieving back stiffness, filling the skin and flesh, and brightening the eyes, lightening the body, and facilitating spiritual connection, these pertain to the separation within the physical form, which is relatively easy to address. My predecessor said: Since Sangsheng Jisheng grows halfway up the mulberry tree, resembling the image of the lumbar region, it is suitable for diseases of the lumbar organs. Also known as "Yumu" (Parasitic Wood), Yuwu implies that just as the Gallbladder (Dan) resides in the Liver (Gan), it should treat Gallbladder diseases. The fetus is also parasitic, as are hair, teeth, beard, and eyebrows. The fruit's ability to facilitate spiritual connection relates to the Hun (Ethereal Soul); regarding issues of decision-making, doubts are thereby resolved. It is also said: Human life is like a sojourn; here, there is a sojourn within a sojourn, taking that which sojourns to benefit this sojourning existence.
(These are categories of rapid and easy growth, finding a foothold and adapting accordingly. However, among trees, the banyan and mulberry are most notable for their ease of growth, truly achieving both aspects of this strategy.)
