Ancient name: Dao (Rice). Warms and tonifies the Spleen and Lung.
Sweet and warm. Tonifies deficiency-cold of the Spleen and Lung. Firmifies the stool, reduces urination, and consolidates spontaneous sweating. (When mixed with Longgu [Fossilized Bones] and Muli [Oyster Shell] into powder and applied externally, it stops sweating.) Promotes the eruption of smallpox lesions. (Resolves toxicity and promotes suppuration.) Its nature is sticky and difficult to digest. It is most contraindicated for patients and children. For those who have phlegm-heat or wind diseases, or those with Spleen disease leading to failure of transportation and transformation, ingestion can easily induce disease and form accumulations. (Dried in the shade and powdered, rice flowers rubbed on teeth can strengthen them.)
Harmonizes the Stomach and tonifies the Middle, clears the Lung.
Sweet and neutral. (Northern Jingmi [Japonica Rice] is cool; Southern Jingmi is warm; Red Jingmi is hot; White Jingmi is cool; New Jingmi is hot; Aged Jingmi is cool.) It obtains the harmonious Qi of Heaven and Earth, pacifying the Five Zang Organs. It tonifies Qi and Blood. Its white color enters the Lung meridian. It relieves irritability, clears heat, promotes urination, and quenches thirst. There are early, middle, and late harvests. The late harvest obtains more Metal Qi, making its nature cool, especially effective in clearing heat. Newly harvested rice may stir up Qi when first consumed. (Those who crave raw rice may develop a "rice mass" over time, treated with Jishibai [Chicken Droppings].) Jiangtan [Rice water], (anciently named Mishen, referring to the second rinsing water, which is clear and usable), clears heat, relieves irritability and thirst, promotes urination, and cools blood.
Also known as Zhan. Tonifies Qi and warms the Middle.
Sweet and warm. Benefits Qi and warms the Middle, harmonizes the Spleen and nourishes the Stomach, resolves dampness, and stops diarrhea. The above belong to the categories of Hemp, Wheat, and Rice.
Tonifies and harmonizes the Middle.
Sweet and neutral. Benefits Qi and harmonizes the Middle. Beneficial to the Spleen and advantageous to the Stomach. (Wu Rui stated in *Riyong Bencao*: "The seedling of Ji resembles reeds, and its grains are large; people in the South call it Lujing." Sun Yan said: "Ji is Su [Millet]." Li Shizhen said: "Although the seedlings of Ji and Shu resemble Su, their fruits differ. Su ears cluster densely, whereas Ji and Shu grains disperse into branches. Sun's assertion that Ji is Su is erroneous." Lujing is indeed Shushu [Sorghum]; its stems and seedlings are tall like reeds. However, modern sacrificial practitioners do not know that Ji is non-glutinous Shu, often mistaking Lujing for Ji, thus Wu Shi also inherited this error. This is now corrected.") Non-glutinous Shu is called Ji. The stem treats generalized edema. (Decocted for bathing.)
