补中。
甘温。益气补中。（苏颂曰∶粘者为秫、可以酿酒、北人谓为黄米、亦曰黄糯、不粘者
为黍
、可食、如稻之有粳糯也、时珍曰∶此误以黍为稷、以秫为黍也、盖稷之粘者为黍、粟之粘
者为秫、粳之粘者为糯、别录本文、着黍秫糯稻之性味功用甚明、而注者不谙、往往谬误如
此、今俗不知分别、通呼秫与黍为黄米矣。）久食令人多热烦。（罗愿尔雅翼云∶黍者暑也、
以其象火、为南方之谷、最粘滞、与糯米同性、其气温暖、故功能补肺、而多食作烦热、缓
筋
根、治心气疼痛。（煎汤温服。）
补气和中。
甘。（黄粱平、白粱青粱微凉。）益气和中。除烦渴。止霍乱下痢。利大小便。（诸粱比
之他
谷、最益脾胃、而黄粱尤得土气之中和也。）粟之大者为粱。（手足生疣、白粱米粉、铁铫炒
赤、研细、以众人唾和涂之、浓一寸、即消。）
北方谓之小米。补气养肾。
咸淡微寒。补虚损。益丹田。开脾胃。利小便。治反胃热痢。粱之小者为粟。（小儿重
舌、
嚼哺之。）
即黄米。益阴、利肺大肠。
甘微寒。治肺疟。阳盛阴虚。夜不得眠。及食鹅鸭成症。妊娠下黄汁。去寒热。利大肠。
粱
米、粟米之粘者为秫。（久泄胃弱、黄米炒为粉、每用数匙、沙糖拌食、良。）
补益中气。
味甘，性温。能益气并补益中焦。（苏颂说：粘性的是秫，可以用来酿酒；北方人叫它黄米，也叫黄糯；不粘的是黍，可以食用，就像稻子有粳米和糯米一样。李时珍说：这是错误地把稷当作黍，把秫当作黍。实际上，稷的粘性品种是黍，粟的粘性品种是秫，粳米的粘性品种是糯。《名医别录》原文对黍、秫、糯、稻的性质、味道和功效阐述得很清楚，但注释者不懂，往往出现这种谬误。现在世俗之人不知道区分，通称秫和黍为黄米。）长期食用会让人产生多热和烦躁的症状。（罗愿在《尔雅翼》中说：黍就是暑，因为它象征火，是南方的谷物，性质最粘滞，与糯米同性，其气温暖，所以功能补肺，但多吃会引发烦热。）舒缓筋根，治疗心气疼痛。（煎汤温服。）
补气并调和脾胃。
味甘。（黄粱性平，白粱、青粱性微凉。）能益气并调和脾胃。清除烦躁和口渴。止住霍乱和下痢。通利大小便。（各种粱与其他谷物相比，最有益于脾胃，而黄粱尤其得土气中和之性。）粟中颗粒大的是粱。（手足生疣，用白粱米粉，在铁锅中炒至变红，研成细粉，用众人的唾液调和涂抹，厚度约一寸，即可消除。）
北方称为小米。补气并滋养肾气。
味咸、淡，性微寒。补益虚损。补益丹田。开通脾胃。通利小便。治疗反胃和热痢。粱中颗粒小的是粟。（小儿重舌症，嚼碎哺喂患儿。）
即黄米。滋养阴液，通利肺和大肠。
味甘，性微寒。治疗肺疟疾。适用于阳气盛、阴虚证，夜间无法入睡，以及因食用鹅鸭导致形成症积的情况。妊娠期间流出黄色汁液。去除寒热症状。通利大肠。粱米中，粟米的粘性品种称为秫。（长期腹泻且胃弱的人，将黄米炒成粉，每次用几匙，拌白糖食用，效果良好。）
Tonifies the Middle Jiao.
Sweet and warm. Benefits Qi and tonifies the Middle Jiao (Sū Sòng stated: The sticky variety is Shu [glutinous millet], which can be used to brew wine; northerners call it Huangmi [yellow millet], also known as Huangnuo; the non-sticky variety is Shu [broomcorn millet], which is edible, just as rice has Jing [non-glutinous] and Nuo [glutinous] varieties. Lǐ Shízhēn stated: This is an error confusing Ji [millet] with Shu [broomcorn millet], and Shu [glutinous millet] with Shu [broomcorn millet]. Actually, the sticky variety of Ji is Shu [broomcorn millet], the sticky variety of Su [foxtail millet] is Shu [glutinous millet], and the sticky variety of Jing [non-glutinous rice] is Nuo [glutinous rice]. The original text of *Mingyi Bielu* clearly describes the nature, flavor, and functions of Shu [broomcorn millet], Shu [glutinous millet], Nuo [glutinous rice], and Daoy [rice], but commentators who were unfamiliar with these often made such errors. Nowadays, common people do not distinguish between them, generally referring to both Shu [glutinous millet] and Shu [broomcorn millet] as Huangmi [yellow millet].] Long-term consumption causes excessive heat and irritability. (Luò Yuàn in *Erya Yi* said: Shu [broomcorn millet] corresponds to Shu [heat], as it symbolizes fire and is a grain of the South. It is the most sticky, shares the same nature as Nuomi [glutinous rice], and its qi is warm. Therefore, it benefits the Lung, but excessive consumption causes irritability and heat.) Relaxes the sinews and roots, treats Heart Qi pain. (Decoct in water and take warm.)
Benefits Qi and harmonizes the Spleen and Stomach.
Sweet. (Huangliang [yellow foxtail millet] is neutral; Bailiang [white foxtail millet] and Qingliang [green foxtail millet] are slightly cool.) Benefits Qi and harmonizes the Middle Jiao. Clears irritability and thirst. Stops Huoluan [cholera-like disorder] and dysentery. Promotes urination and defecation. (Among various grains, Liang [large-grained foxtail millet] is most beneficial to the Spleen and Stomach, and Huangliang [yellow foxtail millet] particularly obtains the harmonious Earth Qi.) The larger grains of Su [foxtail millet] are called Liang [large-grained foxtail millet]. (For warts on hands and feet, use Bailiang [white foxtail millet] rice flour, stir-fry in an iron pot until red, grind into fine powder, mix with saliva from many people, apply thickly about one cun, and it will disappear.)
Known as Xiaomi [millet] in the North. Benefits Qi and nourishes Kidney Qi.
Salty, bland, and slightly cold. Tonifies deficiency and damage. Benefits the Dantian. Opens the Spleen and Stomach. Promotes urination. Treats Fanwei [reverse regurgitation/vomiting] and heat dysentery. The smaller grains of Liang are called Su [foxtail millet]. (For infant double tongue, chew and feed the child.)
Also known as Huangmi [yellow millet]. Benefits Yin, promotes the Large Intestine and Lung.
Sweet and slightly cold. Treats Feinüe [Lung malaria]. Suitable for Yang excess and Yin deficiency patterns, insomnia at night, and conditions resulting from consuming goose or duck that lead to accumulation masses. Yellow discharge during pregnancy. Eliminates cold and heat. Promotes the Large Intestine. Among Liang rice, the sticky variety of Su [foxtail millet] is called Shu [glutinous millet]. (For chronic diarrhea with weak Stomach, stir-fry Huangmi [yellow millet/glutinous foxtail millet] into powder, use several spoons each time, mix with brown sugar and eat, which is effective.)
