莽草(Mao Cao, 一种药用植物),也被称为“䕬”(Chao)。产于上谷和冤句,如今在南方的各州郡以及蜀州都有分布。这种树木外形像石南,但叶子稀疏,不开花也不结果。五月和七月采集叶片,阴干备用。另一种说法是它属于藤本植物,缠绕在树木和石头之间生长。古代方剂中治疗风毒痹症的各种药酒,都使用䕬草。现在的医家取其叶片煎煮成汤,趁热含在口中片刻后吐出,用来治疗牙齿受风引起的疼痛,效果非常显著。这明明是木本植物,但《尔雅·释草》中说:“䕬,春季的草。”解释为:药草中的莽草。郭璞说:又名芒草,因为“芒”与“䕬”读音相近的缘故。然而称之为“草”的,是指那些蔓生的一类。
郁李仁(Yu Li Ren, 郁李的种子),《神农本草经》未记载其产地,只说生长在高山、河谷及丘陵地带,如今各地都有。树高五六尺,枝条、花朵和叶子都像李子树,只有果实小得像樱桃,呈赤色,味道甘甜、酸涩,果核随果实一同成熟。六月采集根部并采收果实,取出核中的种仁入药。陆机在《草木疏》中说:唐棣,就是奥李,又名雀梅,也叫车下李,各地山中都有生长,它的花有的白色有的红色,六月中旬结果,像李子一样可以食用。如今京城附近人家园圃里种植的一种,枝条茎干呈长条状,花朵极其繁密且多叶,也叫做郁李,但不能作为药用。韦宙《独行方》记载:治疗香港脚(足部肿胀疼痛之症)浮肿,心腹胀满,大小便不通,气急喘息的症状。用郁李仁十二分,捣碎,用水研磨取汁。薏苡仁(Yi Yi Ren, 薏苡的种子)捣碎如粟米粒大小,取三合,用郁李仁汁煮米做成粥,空腹食用效果佳。《必效方》记载:治疗癖积(腹内结块之症)。取车下李仁,用热水烫去外皮及内膜连同种仁一起,拌上面粉,捣制成饼。如果太干可加少量淡水,按常规方法揉面做饼,大小如同病人的手掌。做成两个饼,微火烤至变黄,不要烤熟。空腹吃一个饼,应当会顺畅排便。如果未通便,再吃一个,或者喝热粥汁,以大便通畅为标准。如果到午后腹泻不止,就用醋饭来止泻。通便后身体会虚弱,病邪未尽者,根据体力情况,一两天后再进服一次,以病邪尽除为限。小儿也酌情减量。服药期间不得食用奶制品以及牛、马肉等。没有不有效的。只是病情重者,郁李仁与面粉各半;轻者酌情减少用量。病情减轻后,服用者也任其量力而行,多次尝试神验有效。
Ya Jiao (Cliff Pepper), its detailed description is found under the entry for Shu Jiao (Sichuan Pepper).
Man Jiao (Creeping Pepper), its detailed description is found under the entry for Shu Jiao (Sichuan Pepper).
The fruit of Ya Jiao (Cliff Pepper), its detailed description is found under the entry for Shu Jiao (Sichuan Pepper).
Mang Cao (Illicium anisatum / Star Anise relative), also known as Chao. It grows in Shanggu and Yuanju, and is now distributed in various southern prefectures and in Shu. The tree resembles Shi Nan (Pieris japonica) but has sparse leaves, and produces no flowers or fruits. Leaves are harvested in May and July and dried in the shade. Another theory states it is a vine that winds around trees and rocks. Ancient prescriptions for treating wind-toxin bi-syndrome (painful obstruction syndrome caused by wind-dampness) using various medicinal wines all utilized Mang Cao. Current physicians take its leaves, decoct them into a soup, hold the hot liquid in the mouth for a short while, and then spit it out to treat dental pain caused by wind exposure, with excellent efficacy. Although this is a woody plant, *Er Ya · Shi Cao* states: "Chao, spring grass." The explanation notes: "Among medicinal herbs, there is Mang Cao." Guo Pu said: "Also named Mang Cao; because 'Mang' and 'Chao' have similar pronunciations." However, those referred to as "grass" are indeed the creeping varieties.
Yu Li Ren (Seed of Prunus japonica), not recorded in *Ben Jing* (Shennong Ben Cao Jing) regarding its origin, only stating it grows in high mountains, river valleys, and hillsides, and is now found everywhere. The tree is five or six chi tall; its branches, flowers, and leaves resemble those of the plum tree, except the fruit is small like a cherry, red in color, with a sweet and sour taste. The pit ripens along with the fruit. In June, the roots and fruits are harvested, and the kernels inside the pits are extracted for use. Lu Ji in *Cao Mu Shu* stated: "Tang Di is Ao Li, also known as Que Mei, or Che Xia Li. It is found in mountains everywhere. Its flowers are either white or red. Fruits mature in mid-June, resembling plums and are edible." Currently, a variety planted in gardens near the capital has long stems, extremely dense flowers, and many leaves; it is also called Yu Li, but is unsuitable for medicinal use. Wei Zhou's *Du Xing Fang*: Treats Hong Jiang Jiao (Hong Kong foot / gouty swelling) with edema, fullness in the heart and abdomen, obstruction of urination and defecation, and rapid breathing with wheezing. Use Yu Li Ren (12 fen), crush it, grind with water, and extract the juice. Crush Yi Yi Ren (Coix Seed) until it resembles millet grains, take 3 he, and cook rice into porridge using the juice. It is best consumed on an empty stomach. *Bi Xiao Fang*: Treats Pi Ji (accumulation masses). Take Che Xia Li Ren (kernels of Prunus japonica), blanch with hot water to remove the skin and inner membrane along with the kernel, mix with dry flour, and pound into cakes. If too dry, add a little fresh water. Knead and form into cakes as usual, sized according to the patient's palm. Make two cakes, lightly roast until yellow, do not let them become fully cooked. Eat one cake on an empty stomach; bowel movement should be smooth. If there is no effect, eat another one, or drink hot porridge juice, stopping when bowel movement is achieved. If diarrhea persists until afternoon, stop it with vinegar-rice. After purging, the body will be deficient. If the pathogen is not fully eliminated, based on physical strength, administer another dose after one or two days, continuing until the disease is completely resolved. For children, adjust the dosage accordingly. Do not consume dairy products or beef, horse meat, etc. There is no case where it fails. However, for severe cases, use half Yu Li Ren and half flour; for mild cases, reduce the amount as appropriate. After symptoms subside, the patient may continue taking it according to their capacity. Repeated trials show miraculous efficacy.
