《岭南杂记》记载:化州的仙橘,相传是仙人罗辨在石龙的腹部种植的橘子树,至今仍然存在。其中只有这一株,以苏泽堂所产的为最佳,清风楼产的次之,红树产的又次之。这种树的果实并不是普通的橘子,皮厚肉酸,不能食用。它的果皮被剖分为五片或七片,不可能成双数,每一片真正的果皮价值一两黄金。每年结的果实,按照惯例都要呈文上报上级官府,到了采摘时节,督抚会派遣亲信随从跟随监督采摘和制作,在当地做官的人,也很少能吃到。当地人说,凡是靠近州城、能听到谯楼更鼓声的地方,产出的果皮也很好,所以化州产的橘红赝品很多,真品非常难得。
关涵《岭南随笔》记载:化州官署前的橘树,每个月长出一个果实,用它的皮入药,痰症立刻解除。后来这棵树被风吹折了,就在原地补种,但气味就不同了。现在市场上称为化州橘红的,都是用增城香柚的皮伪冒代替的,能够化解他物(痰湿)却不能自我化解(自身非真橘)。
《粤语》记载:化州有一株橘树,在官署中,每月生一个果实,用它的皮制成橘红,煮汤饮用,痰立刻消除,过去也曾进贡给皇帝。现在这棵树被大风拔起,新种了一株,味道不如从前。化州过去多产橘红,销往岭内地区,而产自官署的那一株尤为奇特。
《本草乘雅》记载:橘和柚专精于果实,果实再专精则体现在皮上。果皮分布着细密的孔窍,宛如人的皮肤,其中的脉络、纹理、筋膜、子核,各有归属,所以药力能够由转入升,由升转合,再由合转开。种种形态和证候,都遵循从入、从合的规律,所以对于胸中的瘕热(积聚发热)、水谷运化失常、神明不通、气逆以及耳下气臭等症状,能使气机下行后自然下降,这是玉衡星机转般的微妙作用。
《识药辨微》记载:近来广州传来的化橘红,都是单片成束,切成象眼块形状,或者三五十片为一把,两头用红绳扎紧,外皮淡红色,内腹皮白色,周身也有像猪鬃一样的纹路,这些其实都是柚皮,也能消痰。又有一种被世人看重,每个果实分五片如爪子状,中间盖有化州印,名叫“五爪橘红”,也是用柚皮制作的,比掌片状的更好。但究其根本,与真品相差甚远。真正的化州橘红煎煮后有甜香味,取一点汁液滴入痰盂内,痰都会变成水,这才是上品。
梁氏家藏的苏泽堂化州橘红,每一个果实破为七瓣,反折成七歧,晒干后气味非常香烈。有《橘红歌》说:石龙灵异不可测,首向青霄尾潜泽,有时声吼洪如鹅,有时喷沙白似雪,鸣或宰相应期生,鸣或科甲蝉联翼。由来州牧履其常,惟恐怪奇骇愚俗,亭碑鼓吹镇其头,重镬累石填其穴,天生灵异无可凭,离奇屈曲化为橘。橘之为性温且平,能愈伤寒兼积食,消痰止嗽功更奇,谁先辨此真龙脉,价值黄金不易求,寄语人间休浪掷。
功效:治痰症如神,消化油腻和谷食积滞,醒酒宽中。气虚者忌服。可解蟹毒。
辰砂五香丸:治疗翻胃、噎膈、呕吐。张氏秘效方:用血竭、乳香、没药、辰砂各一钱五分,共研为末,每次三分,用酒送服。
羊癫疯:《良方集要》记载:雄黄、天竺黄、川贝母各五钱,真琥珀一钱,麝香一钱,陈胆星一两,以上药材分别单独研磨;全蝎十四个(去足,酒洗),远志肉(甘草汁制),钩藤、防风、化州橘红、姜衣、羌活、茯苓、天麻、石菖蒲各五钱,以上药材不可见火,晒干;蝉蜕三十个,白附子六钱,共研为末,炼蜜为丸,如龙眼大小,每次服用一丸,开水送下。
按语:《百草镜》记载:广东高州府化州出产陈皮,去掉白色内层者名为橘红,如今也很难得。当地人用柚皮代替,出售到外地,价格也不贵。辨别的方法是,先看皮色、筋络和味道。如果皮皱缩粗糙、颜色黄而厚,内部多有白膜,味道反而甜带辛,那是乳柑皮,只适合点茶,不适合入药;如果皮极厚且泡松,纹理极细且色黄,内部多膜无筋,味甜辛少,那是柚子皮,性质忌讳冷服;如果纹理细,颜色红润且皮薄,多有筋脉,味苦辛,入口芳香,那才是真的化州橘红,入药以此种为贵,然而其性酸削,能伐伤生气,消痰虽然快捷,但破气损人,不宜轻用。近日有一种产自仁和塘栖镇蜜橘皮所制的,叫作“甜橘红”,清香入肺醒脾,消痰的功效,不亚于化州产,而且性质不峻烈,名叫“香金板”,南方人体弱者适宜使用。
《本草乘雅》记载:武林栖水出产蜜橘,有几十种品种,名叫金钱穿心的,虽然秀色可观,又不如佛肚脐。形状小皮癞,甘美可口,霜降时采取,气足味足,密藏至春天,剖皮抽脉,破囊吮汁,也可以振作精神,作为得句破疑的帮助。
The silk filaments on the orange pulp, sugar-preserved Huazhou exocarp (Huazhou Juhong, 化州橘红), preserved orange cakes, medicinally prepared citrus cakes, green salt-aged tangerine peel (Qingyan Chenpi, 青盐陈皮), and Ju Ling.
*Records of Lingnan* states: The immortal oranges of Huazhou are said to have been planted by the immortal Luo Bian on the belly of a stone dragon, and this tree still exists today. Among them, only one tree is considered the best, specifically the produce from Suzetang; the produce from Qingfenglou ranks second, and that from Hongshu ranks third. The fruit of this tree is not an ordinary orange; its peel is thick and the flesh is sour, making it inedible. Its peel is sliced into five or seven segments, never in even numbers, and each genuine segment can be worth one tael of gold. The annual yield must be reported to higher authorities according to regulations. At the time of harvest, the Governor-General dispatches trusted attendants to supervise the picking and processing. Officials serving in this region rarely get to taste it. Locals say that wherever one can hear the drum beats from the watchtower near the prefecture, the peel produced there is also excellent. Therefore, there are many counterfeits of Huazhou peel, and genuine ones are very hard to obtain.
Guan Han's *Lingnan Casual Notes* states: The orange tree in front of the Huazhou government office bears one fruit per month. Its peel, when used as medicine, instantly resolves phlegm. Later, the tree was broken by the wind and replanted in the same location, but its aroma and flavor changed. Today, what is called "Huazhou Juhong" is mostly counterfeit, made from the peel of Zengcheng fragrant pomelo. It can resolve other things (phlegm) but cannot resolve itself (it is not true orange).
*Yueyu* states: There is one orange tree in the Huazhou government office that bears one fruit per month. Its peel is processed into Juhong, boiled in water and drunk, which instantly eliminates phlegm. It was once offered as tribute to the Emperor. This tree was uprooted by a strong wind, and a new one was planted, but its flavor is inferior. Huazhou formerly produced much Juhong for sale within Lingnan, but the one from the government office was unique.
*Bencao Chengya* states: Oranges and pomelos concentrate their essence in the fruit, and the peel concentrates the essence of the fruit. The peel is distributed with fine pores, resembling human skin. Its meridians, textures, fascia, seeds, and kernels all have specific affiliations. Thus, its medicinal power can transform from descending to ascending, from ascending to combining, and from combining to opening. All various forms and syndromes follow the principles of entering and combining. Therefore, for conditions such as heat accumulation in the chest (Jia Re, 瘕热), failure of water and grain to circulate, obstruction of the spirit-mind, rebellious Qi, and foul odor below the ears, the Qi descends after exiting, demonstrating the subtle efficacy akin to the rotation of the Jade Balance star.
*Shiyao Bianwei* states: The Huazhou Juhong recently arriving from Guangzhou consists of single segments bundled together, cut into diamond shapes, or thirty to fifty segments tied at both ends with red string to form a bunch. The outer peel is pale red, the inner albedo is white, and the surface has bristle-like textures. These are actually pomelo peels, which can also eliminate phlegm. Another type is highly valued by the world; each fruit is divided into five claw-like segments, stamped with the Huazhou seal, named "Five-Claw Juhong." It is also made from pomelo peel and is better than palm-shaped slices. However, compared to the genuine article, it falls far short. Genuine Huazhou Juhong, when decocted, yields a sweet fragrance. If a drop of its juice is added to a spittoon, the phlegm turns into water. This is the superior grade.
The Li family's collection of Suzetang Huazhou Juhong consists of fruits split into seven segments, folded back into seven branches, dried, with a very strong and fragrant aroma. There is a song about Juhong:
"The spiritual mystery of Stone Dragon is unfathomable,
Its head faces the blue sky, its tail hides in the depths.
Sometimes its roar is loud like a goose,
Sometimes it spews sand white as snow.
Its cry may herald the birth of a prime minister,
Or continuous success in imperial examinations.
Prefects walk their usual path,
Fearing strange wonders would frighten the ignorant.
Temples, steles, drums, and fanfare guard its head,
Heavy cauldrons and piled stones fill its cave.
Heaven-born spirituality relies on no proof,
Twisted and curved, it transforms into the orange.
The nature of the orange is warm and neutral,
It can cure cold damage and food stagnation.
Its merit in resolving phlegm and stopping coughs is miraculous.
Whoever first identifies this true dragon vein,
Will find its value beyond gold, hard to seek.
I send word to the world: do not waste it lightly."
Efficacy: Miraculous in treating phlegm disorders, resolves grease and grain food stagnation, awakens the stomach and relieves fullness. Contraindicated for those with Qi deficiency. Resolves crab toxicity.
*Cihui Bian* states: For crab poisoning, decoct and take Juhong.
Chensha Wuxiang Wan (Cinnabar Five-Aromatic Pills): Treats regurgitation, dysphagia, and vomiting. Zhang's Secret Effective Formula: Use Xuejie (Dragon's Blood), Ruxiang (Frankincense), Moyao (Myrrh), and Chensha (Cinnabar), each 1.5 qian. Grind into powder. Take 0.3 qian each time, washed down with wine.
Epilepsy: *Liangfang Ji Yao* states: Use Xionghuang (Realgar), Tianzhu Huang (Bambusa Textilis Stem Mould), and Chuanbeimu (Fritillaria Cirrhosa Bulb), each 5 qian; Zhen Hupo (True Amber) 1 qian, Shexiang (Musk) 1 qian, and Chendanxing (Aged Arisaema with Bile) 1 liang. Grind each separately. Use Quanxie (Whole Scorpion) 14 pieces (remove feet, wash with wine), Yuanzhi Rou (Polygala Root Flesh, processed with Licorice juice), Gouteng (Uncaria Rhynchophylla), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), Huazhou Juhong, Jiangyi (Ginger Skin), Qianghuo (Notopterygium Root), Fuling (Poria), and Tianma (Gastrodia Rhizome), each 5 qian. Do not expose these to fire; dry them. Use Chantui (Cicada Slough) 30 pieces, Baifuzi (Typhonium Rhizome) 6 qian. Grind all into powder, mix with refined honey to make pills the size of longan seeds. Take one pill each time, washed down with boiled water.
Note: *Baicao Jing* states: Huazhou in Gaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong, produces Chenpi (aged tangerine peel). Those with the white albedo removed are named Juhong, but they are now rare. Locals substitute pomelo peel, selling it outside the region at a low price. The method of identification requires examining the peel color, veins, and taste. If the peel is wrinkled, rough, yellow, and thick, with much white membrane inside, and tastes sweet with a hint of pungency, it is Rugan (Milky Citrus) peel, suitable only for tea infusion, not for medicine. If the peel is extremely thick and spongy, with very fine texture, yellow color, much membrane without veins, and tastes sweet with little pungency, it is Pomelo peel, which should not be taken cold. If the texture is fine, color is ruddy and thin, with many veins, and tastes bitter and pungent with an aromatic entry, it is genuine Huazhou Juhong. This type is precious for medicine. However, its nature is acidic and astringent, capable of damaging vital Qi. Although it resolves phlegm quickly, it breaks Qi and harms people, so it should not be used lightly. Recently, there is a type made from the peel of honey oranges produced in Tangxi Town, Renhe, called "Sweet Juhong." Its clear fragrance enters the lungs and awakens the spleen. Its phlegm-resolving efficacy is comparable to Huazhou production, but its nature is not harsh. Named "Xiangjinban," it is suitable for weak constitutions in the South.
*Bencao Chengya* states: Xi Shui in Wulin produces honey oranges, with dozens of varieties. The variety named "Jinqian Chuanxin" (Gold Coin Piercing Heart) is visually appealing, but inferior to "Foduqi" (Buddha's Belly Navel). Small in shape, bumpy peel, sweet and delicious, harvested at Frost Descent, possessing sufficient Qi and flavor. Stored tightly until spring, the peel is sliced, veins removed, sacs broken, and juice sucked. This can also invigorate the spirit and aid in breaking doubts during poetic composition.
