【气味】味酸，性温，有毒。
【主治】风邪引起的皮肤瘙痒、瘾疹（一种皮肤出现红色或苍白色风团，时隐时现的皮肤病）、全身瘙痒、湿痹（因湿邪阻滞经络关节所致的肢体疼痛、重着、麻木等症），可以煎煮作为药浴汤剂使用。
【考证】曰：蒴藋，出产于熊耳山山谷及冤句等地，如今田野丘陵废墟之间也有生长。初春时节生出苗芽，每枝五片叶子，夏半开花，花色白，花朵大如杯盏。结出的果实青碧色，形状像绿豆，十月变红成熟，别名接骨草。它属于芹类植物，芹类共有三种：一是水芹，称为水英；二是旱芹，称为陆英；三是蒴藋，称为木英。大概树木开的花叫华，草本植物的花叫荣，不开花而结果实的叫秀；只开花而不结果实的叫英。陆英中精华专一的是其花，所以采摘它的花；蒴藋中精华专一的是它的叶，所以采摘它的叶。张仲景在《金匮要略》论述王不留行散治疗金疮（金属利器造成的创伤）时，使用了蒴藋叶，因此得名蒴藋细叶。所谓“细叶”，是指初生时嫩绿的小叶片。炮制加工方法：初春时节采摘细小的叶片，阴干，其他时候叶子变大，气味就淡薄了。
【按语】曰：“藋”与“翟”谐音，草类中的“藋”对应禽类中的“翟”。大概月亮昏暗后初次复苏称为“朔”，野鸡潜伏并收敛羽毛称为“翟”，这是比喻药效功用相似。因此能够宣发阳气，熏蒸肌肤充实身体，从而消除疮疡。又能回转阴气，使骨骼连接肌肉相连，从而使金疮愈合，它是调节人体枢机功能的优良铸形药材。

【气味】味甘，性寒，无毒。
【主治】消渴病（以多饮、多食、多尿、形体消瘦为特征的疾病）中的客热（外感或内生的邪热），止住小便频数。
【考证】曰：各地都有生长，生于低洼潮湿的水泽之中。形状像竹子，叶子抱着茎生长，没有旁生的枝条。花白色，呈穗状，类似茅草花。根部像竹根但节间稀疏。生长在水底的根，味道甘甜；暴露在空气中的根，不堪药用。
【按语】曰：《诗经》疏注说：芦苇初生时叫“葭”，意为嘉美。长成后叫“苇”，意为伟大。未抽穗前叫“芦”，芦，黑色。大概称芦苇为黑，是因为黑色代表水的颜色。“胪”指腹部前面，假托驴力在于腹前的说法。芦苇的气性是寒的，味是甘的，用来对待热邪蕴结在腹部的情况。如果膀胱气化功能失常，导致肾水不能周流于胸臆而引发消渴，只能独沉于膀胱而导致小便频利，用芦苇可以使两者各得平衡。所以“水”就是“准”的意思，称量物体公平施予，那么水流就不会满溢，经历险阻也不会失去正道。
(Recorded as a Lower Grade in *Mingyi Bielu*)
[Flavor and Property] Sour, warm, toxic.
[Indications] Wind-induced pruritus, urticaria (a skin disease characterized by transient red or pale wheals), generalized pruritus, damp-bi (syndrome of limb pain, heaviness, and numbness caused by dampness obstructing collaterals and joints); can be decocted for medicinal bathing.
[Evidence] Says: *Suo Die* grows in the valleys of Xiong'er Mountain and Yuanju, and is also found in fields, hills, and ruins today. In early spring, shoots emerge; each branch has five leaves. In mid-summer, white flowers bloom, large as a cup. The fruits are blue-green, resembling mung beans, turning red and ripe in October. It is also known as "Bone-Fusing" herb. It belongs to the celery family, which comprises three types: one is water celery, called "Shui Ying" (Water Hero/Flower); two is dry celery, called "Lu Ying" (Land Hero/Flower); three is *Suo Die*, called "Mu Ying" (Wood Hero/Flower). Generally, flowers of trees are called "Hua", flowers of herbs are called "Rong"; plants that bear fruit without flowering are called "Xiu"; plants that flower but do not bear fruit are called "Ying". Among Lu Ying, the essence is concentrated in its flowers, so its flowers are harvested; among *Suo Die*, the essence is concentrated in its leaves, so its leaves are harvested. Zhang Zhongjing, in his discussion of *Wangbuliuxing San* in *Jin Gui Yao Lue* for treating metal wounds, used *Suo Die* leaves, hence the name *Suo Die Xi Ye* (Fine-Leaved *Suo Die*). "Xi Ye" refers to the tender, small green leaves at initial growth. Processing: Harvest fine leaves in early spring and dry them in the shade; leaves harvested at other times grow larger and have weaker flavor and potency.
[Commentary] Says: "Die" is homophonous with "Zhai". In the plant realm, "Die" corresponds to "Zhai" in the avian realm. Just as the first recovery after the moon's darkness is called "Shuo" (New Moon), and the pheasant hiding and folding its wings is called "Zhai", this metaphor illustrates similar efficacy. Thus, it can disperse and promote Yang Qi, fumigate the skin, fill the body, and expel sores. It can also reverse Yin Qi, connect bones and muscles, and heal metal wounds. It is an excellent material for shaping form through regulating the pivot mechanism.

[Flavor and Property] Sweet, cold, non-toxic.
[Indications] Guest heat in Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst syndrome, characterized by polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria, and emaciation); stops frequent urination.
[Evidence] Says: It grows everywhere, in low, wet marshes. Its shape resembles bamboo; leaves embrace the stem, with no lateral branches. Flowers are white and spike-like, resembling foxtail grass. Roots resemble bamboo roots but have sparse nodes. Roots growing underwater are sweet in taste; roots exposed above ground are unsuitable for use.
[Commentary] Says: The commentary on the *Classic of Poetry* states: Reeds when young are called "Jia", meaning beautiful. When grown tall, they are called "Wei", meaning great. Before heading out, they are called "Lu", where Lu means black. Calling reeds "black" is because black represents the color of water. "Lu" refers to the front of the abdomen, using the metaphor of donkey strength residing in the abdomen. Its nature is cold, and its flavor is sweet. It counteracts heat accumulation in the abdomen. If bladder Qi function is impaired, causing Kidney Water to fail to circulate to the chest and epigastrium—leading to wasting-thirst—and instead sink solely into the bladder—leading to frequent urination—the use of reed restores balance to both. Therefore, "Water" implies "Standard/Balance"; weighing objects fairly ensures water flows without overflowing and maintains correctness even in dangerous situations.
