产于吐鲁番，北京市场上有售。其形状像胡椒，是葡萄的变种。《回疆志》记载，葡萄一根生出数株，藤蔓细长，花朵极细小且呈黄白色。果实有紫、白、青、黑几种颜色，形状有圆、长、大、小之分，味道有酸、甜之别。其中一种颜色绿而无核，比黄豆稍大，味道甘甜鲜美；一种颜色紫而小如胡椒，就是琐琐蒲萄（无核葡萄）；一种颜色黑，形状长约一寸许；一种颜色白而较大，都在七月、八月成熟，晾干后可以运送到远方。《本经逢原》说：琐琐蒲萄类似葡萄但更细碎，因此得名。生长在漠北地区，南方偶尔也有，它的茎干类似树木，但属于藤本植物，果实初生时青色，成熟后变红，干燥后呈紫黑色，能够收敛精气，归入肾脏，与五味子的功效不太相近。凡是藤蔓类的植物，都归属于筋；草木的果实，都能通达脏腑，不仅仅是这种药味如此。此物过去作为食品供奉，不进入汤药方剂，所以本草书籍没有记载。近来北方人用它来强壮肾脏，南方人用它来预防天花（稀痘），各有适宜之处。《五杂俎》记载：西域的白葡萄，鲜果不可见，干果味道特别甘甜奇异，有兔眼葡萄，无核；又有琐琐蒲萄，形状像茱萸。小儿食用它，能解除痘毒。于文定在《笔麈》中说：琐琐是“娑”字的讹误。黎愧曾在《仁恕堂笔记》中记载：琐琐蒲萄，于文定引用《西京赋》认为“琐琐”应当是“娑”，这固然属于附会之谈，但认为它是另一种植物，也不是河西走廊的葡萄。虽然其生根牵蔓与中原地区无异，但结出的果实大而长如马乳，颜色深紫，味道也特别甘甜，一枝上有千百颗，大的在上，小的在下，垂下来采摘并晾干，大的称为白葡萄，小的称为琐琐，并非两种不同的东西，所以俗称为公领孙。只有绿葡萄是来自西域，不是中原地区所产。
味道甘甜，种子细微带咸味。《痘学真传》说：味道甘酸，性质平和偏温。《百草镜》说：性质热，入脾、肾二经，泡酒饮用更佳。治疗筋骨风湿疼痛，利水效果非常迅速，能消除全身浮肿、痘疮不出，用酒研磨混合饮用，有神奇疗效。
强肾用法：琐琐蒲萄、人参各一钱，用火酒浸泡一夜，清晨涂抹在手心，摩擦腰脊，能增强体力、使身体强壮；如果在睡觉时摩擦腰脊，更能助阳事坚强，尤为得力。
稀痘用法：琐琐蒲萄一岁用量一钱，神黄豆一岁用量一粒，捣成细末，在一阳夜用蜜水调服，并擦拭心窝和腰眼，能帮助肾脏祛除邪气，因为北方地方特产专门辅助东南地区生气不足的问题。然而只有体质素来虚弱的人使用有益，如果气血壮盛偏阳者不要服用，恐怕会助长淫火之毒。
按语：《紫桃轩杂缀》记载琐琐蒲萄是神农九草之一，中原地区早已存在，不需要等到博望侯张骞从西域带来。我家乡东塔朱买臣墓旁就有。戊子年，我曾路过平湖幕府署衙，有一枝蔓延满架，夏天开琐碎的花，结出像绿豆一样的果实，茂盛得看不见枝叶；我杭州螺蛳山汪姓人家也有此物，但吃起来味道淡薄，不如甘肃产的浓郁。入药自然以西北地区的为优。
Produced in Turpan, available in the Beijing market. Its shape resembles pepper; it is a variant of *Vitis vinifera* (Grape). *Records of Huijiang* states that grape vines produce several stems from one root, with long creeping tendrils. The flowers are extremely fine and yellowish-white. The fruits come in purple, white, green, and black varieties, varying in round, long, large, or small shapes, and in sweet or sour tastes. One variety is green and seedless, slightly larger than soybeans, with a sweet and delicious taste; another is purple and small like pepper, known as Suosuo Putao (Seedless Grape); one is black and about an inch long; another is white and large. All ripen in July and August and can be dried for transport over long distances. *Benjing Fengyuan* notes: "Suosuo Putao resembles grapes but is finer and smaller, hence the name." It grows in the northern deserts, occasionally found in the south. Its stem resembles wood, yet it is a vine. The fruit is green when fresh and red when ripe, turning purplish-black when dried. It can consolidate vital essence and target the Kidney (*Shen*, 肾脏), with functions not significantly different from *Wuweizi* (Schisandra Berry). Generally, plants of the vine family belong to the Sinews (*Jin*, 筋); fruits of herbs and trees reach the Zang organs (*Zang*, 藏), not just this specific substance. Historically used as food and not included in decoctions, it was omitted from materia medica texts. Recently, northerners use it to strengthen the Kidneys, while southerners use it to mitigate smallpox (*Xidou*, 稀痘), each finding it suitable. *Wuzazu* records: "Western Region white grapes are rarely seen fresh; their dried form has a uniquely sweet taste. There are rabbit-eye grapes, which are seedless; and Suosuo Putao, shaped like dogwood berries. Children eating it can resolve toxic heat from smallpox." Yu Wending in *Bizhu* stated: "Suosuo" is a corruption of "Suo". Li Kuizeng in *Renshutang Biji* recorded: Regarding Yu Wending's citation of the *Xi Jing Fu* claiming "Suosuo" should be "Suo", this is indeed forced interpretation. However, asserting it is a distinct species separate from Hexi grapes is incorrect. Although its rooting and creeping habits are identical to those in Central Plains, its fruits are large and elongated like horse teats, deep purple, and exceptionally sweet. A single branch bears thousands of berries, large ones at the top, small ones hanging below. When harvested and dried, the large ones are called white grapes, and the small ones Suosuo; they are not two different species, hence colloquially called Gonglingsun. Only green grapes originate from the Western Regions and are not native to the Central Plains.
Taste: Sweet. Seeds: Fine, slightly salty. *Douxue Zhuan* states: Taste is sweet and sour; nature is neutral and warm. *Baicao Jing* states: Nature is hot; enters the Spleen (*Pi*, 脾) and Kidney (*Shen*, 肾) meridians. Brewing in wine is superior. It treats rheumatic pain in sinews and bones, promotes diuresis rapidly, eliminates generalized edema (*Banshenenzhong*, 遍身浮肿), and aids eruption of smallpox lesions. Prepared by grinding with wine and drinking, it yields miraculous effects.
**Strengthening the Kidneys**: Mix one qian of Suosuo Putao and one qian of *Renshen* (Ginseng). Soak in high-proof liquor overnight. Apply to palms in the morning and massage the lower back and spine. This enhances physical strength and vigor. Massaging the lower back and spine before sleep further supports yang function and sexual potency.
**Mitigating Smallpox**: For infants, use one qian of Suosuo Putao per year of age, and one *Shenhuangdou* (Divine Soybean) per year of age. Grind into a fine powder. Administer on the first Yang day with honey-water. Also rub onto the chest center and waist kidneys. This helps the Kidneys expel pathogenic factors. As a Northern specialty, it supplements the insufficient rising qi of the Southeast. However, it is beneficial only for those with constitutionally weak constitutions. Those with robust qi and excess yang should avoid it, lest it aggravate toxic fire.
**Note**: *Zitaixuan Zazhui* lists Suosuo Putao as one of the Nine Herbs of Shennong, indicating it has existed in the Central Plains for a long time and did not require Zhang Qiao (Marquis of Bolang) to bring it from the Western Regions. It grows near the tomb of Zhu Maichen at East Tower in my hometown. In the year Wuzi, I visited the prefectural office in Pinghu, where a vine covered the trellis. It bloomed with tiny flowers in summer and bore fruit resembling mung beans, so dense that leaves were invisible. A similar plant exists in the home of the Wang family at Luosi Mountain in Hangzhou, but its taste is bland compared to the rich flavor of Gansu specimens. For medicinal use, specimens from the Northwest are superior.
