朱斋在任城任职时记载:杭州秦亭山圣帝殿厨房后的石台基上生长着一种草,形状像百合,名叫百合草,又名佛手,可以入药。
治疗疮疡:无论是哪种恶疮,用这种草煎汤清洗,即可痊愈。我(赵学敏)按语:王安的采药方中,射干别名佛手草,(此处原文似有脱漏或指代不明,结合下文“不治”及后文辨析,意指此名易混淆,但此处仅翻译字面意思)……
余杭的山中多有生长,叶子像大叶金星草,根部黑色,形状像蚕。
按语:甘露子,也叫做草石蚕,与此不同。
前溪逸志记载:铜官山生长石蚕,是藤本植物。以石头为土壤,形状像蚕,采集食用,可以治愈风痹。本草记载:石蚕,是指形状像蚕的石头,并非真正的蚕。藤本的蚕根植于石头,石头的蚕潜伏于泥土中,如果不是博学君子,怎么能辨别它们的名号,认识它们的性情呢!
治疗虎咬伤收口时使用它,被老虎咬成疮,伤口不愈合的,将其研末撒在上面,即刻结痂。
治疗风痹、羊毛痧。
我(赵学敏)按语:王安的采药方记载:金星凤尾,即宝剑草,其根名为石蚕,能解硫黄和毒蛇之毒,治疗发背痈疽、结核、热淋,洗眼疾和阴湿疮,像这样看来,就明确不是藤蚕和甘露子了。
猫舌仙桥 附注
又名翠梅草。百草镜说:春季发芽,叶子狭长尖锐且粗糙涩手,微有毛,三月开碧色花,到五月间,茎蔓延生长,粘附泥土生根,两头像桥,因此得名。三月采集时去掉根部。
性寒。葛祖方记载:治疗失力黄(一种黄疸或虚劳病),能退除各种疮疡的热血风火气毒。百草镜说:疏散风火,利湿热,治疗白火丹、疥疮,固涩精气。
白浊:用毛叶仙桥三钱,酒煎服。
李氏草秘记载:仙桥草,形状像桥,倒地生根,叶子像柳叶,背面浓紫色的较多,秋天开一条紫花,治疗疔疮和各种毒痈肿,用这种草捣汁加酒服用。即使病人发狂濒临死亡,入口就能复活。汪连仕说:细叶的是紫背仙桥,背面必须是紫色,蔓延倒地如桥状,当地人称为疔疮草,能消除疔肿拔除病根,配合苍耳草酒煎服用。
Zhu Zhai recorded during his tenure in Rencheng: On the stone platform base behind the kitchen of the Shengdi Temple on Qinting Mountain in Hangzhou, there grows a herb resembling lily (Lilium), named Lily Herb (Baihe Cao), also known as Buddha's Hand (Foshou), which can be used as medicine.
To treat sores: For any kind of malignant sore, washing it with a decoction of this herb will lead to recovery. I (Zhao Xuemin) note: In Wang An's Herbal Collection, Shegan (Belamcandae Rhizoma) is also called Foshoucao; [text implies confusion or lack of efficacy for specific conditions not fully detailed here]...
It is abundant in the mountains of Yuhang. The leaves resemble those of Dayejuejin (a local name, possibly referring to a plant with large leaves like Venus's Flytrap or similar broad-leafed herb), and the roots are black and shaped like silkworms.
Note: Ganluzi (Pachyrhizus erosus tuber), also known as Caoshican, is different from this.
Qianxi Yizhi records: Stone Silkworm (Shican) grows on Tongguan Mountain; it is a vine. It takes stone as soil, and its shape resembles a silkworm. Harvesting and eating it can cure wind-bi (wind-rheumatism). Bencao states: Stone Silkworm refers to stones that look like silkworms, not real silkworms. The vine-type silkworm roots in stone, while the stone-type silkworm lies hidden in the soil. Unless one is a learned gentleman, how could one distinguish their names and understand their natures?
For treating tiger bites to promote wound closure: If a bite from a tiger has formed a sore that does not heal, applying the powdered herb to the wound will cause immediate scabbing.
Treats wind-bi and Wool Plague (Yangmao Sha).
I (Zhao Xuemin) note: According to Wang An's Herbal Collection: Jinxing Fengwei is Sword Grass (Jianbao Cao); its root is named Shican. It can detoxify sulfur and venomous snake poison, treat back carbuncles and ulcers, tubercles, hot strangury, eye diseases, and damp-sores of the yin region. From this, it is clear that it is neither Tengcan nor Ganluzi.
Cat-Tong Xiqiao [Supplementary Note]
Also known as Cuimei Cao. Baicao Jing says: Sprouts emerge in spring; leaves are narrow, pointed, rough, and slightly hairy; flowers are blue-green in March. By May, the stems spread, take root in the soil, and resemble a bridge at both ends, hence the name. Harvest in March, removing the roots.
Nature is cold. Ge Zu Fang records: Treats Shili Huang (a condition involving weakness and jaundice); can dissipate heat-blood, wind-fire, qi-toxicity from various sores. Baicao Jing says: Disperses wind-fire, promotes urination to remove damp-heat, treats White Huodan (white herpes zoster-like eruption), scabies, and secures essence.
White Turbidity: Use three qian of Maoye Xiqiao, decocted in wine and taken orally.
Li Shi Caomi records: Xiqiao Cao resembles a bridge, takes root when touching the ground, leaves resemble willow leaves, with many having dark purple undersides; blooms with a single purple flower spike in autumn. Treats ding sores and various toxic abscesses/swellings. Crush the herb, extract juice, mix with wine, and drink. Even if the patient is delirious and near death, they will revive upon ingestion. Wang Lianshi says: The variety with fine leaves is Zi Bei Xiqiao; the underside must be purple, spreading along the ground like a bridge. Locals call it Ding Chuang Cao (Ding Sore Herb); it can eliminate ding swellings and draw out the root. Combine with Cang'er Cao (Xanthii Fructus), decoct in wine, and take.
