【释名】竹膏。
苏颂说：天竺黄产于天竺国。现在各种竹子内部往往能得到它。人们常常将烧过的骨头及葛粉等杂物掺杂其中。
寇宗奭说：这是南海边竹子内由尘沙凝结而成的。
苏颂说：这是在竹子内部生成的，像黄土附着在竹子上成片状。
李时珍说：据考证，吴地僧人赞宁曾说：竹黄产于南海的镛竹中。这种竹子非常大，又名天竹。其内部有黄色物质，可以用来治疗疾病。本草书中写作“天竺”，是不正确的。竹子本身也有黄色的部分。这个说法是正确的。
【气味】味甘，性寒，无毒。
寇宗奭说：性平。畏伏龙肝和轻粉。
【主治】小儿惊风、天吊风，去除各种风热，镇心安神、明目，治疗金创出血，滋养五脏（《开宝本草》）。治疗中风痰壅盛，突然失音不能说话，小儿客忤痫疾（寇宗奭）。
【发明】苏颂说：天竹黄凉心经，去除风热。作为小儿用药尤其适宜，因为药性缓和。
李时珍说：竹黄是从大竹的津液气息凝结而成，其气味功效与竹沥相同，但没有寒滑的副作用。
【附方】新增一方。
小儿惊热：天竹黄二钱，雄黄、牵牛子末各一钱，研匀，用面糊制成粟米大小的丸剂。每次服用三至五丸，薄荷汤送下。（钱乙方）

【集解】陈藏器说：这是笋即将长成竹子时立即死去的，颜色黑如漆，在五、六月采收。苦竹、桂竹多生长这种植物。另有仙人杖草，见草部。还有枸杞也名叫仙人杖，与此同名。
【气味】味咸，性平，无毒。寇宗奭说：性冷。
【主治】呃逆气呕，小儿吐乳，大人吐食反胃，辟除邪气，并用水煮后服用（陈藏器）。治疗小儿惊痫及夜啼，让患儿与之同睡效果良好。又将其烧成粉末，用水送服一方寸匕，主治痔病。忌食牛肉（寇宗奭）。
煮汁服用，可排出鱼骨鲠喉（李时珍）。

[Names] Bamboo Paste.
Su Song stated: Tianzhu Huang (Calamus Resin) originates from the country of Tianzhu (India). It is often obtained from the interior of various bamboos today. People frequently adulterate it with burnt bones and Polygonum multiflorum powder, among other impurities.
Kou Zongshi stated: This is formed by dust and sand condensing within bamboo near the South Sea.
Su Song stated: This grows inside the bamboo, appearing like yellow earth adhering to the bamboo in sheets.
Li Shizhen stated: According to research, Wu monk Zan Ning said: Zhu Huang (Bamboo Yellow) grows in the Yong bamboo of the South Sea. This bamboo is extremely large, also known as Tianzhu. The interior contains a yellow substance that can treat diseases. The Bencao texts writing it as "Tianzhu" are incorrect. Bamboo itself also has yellow parts. This explanation is accurate.
[Properties and Flavors] Sweet, cold, non-toxic.
Kou Zongshi stated: Neutral. Incompatible with Longgu (Fossilized Bones) and Qianfen (Calomel).
[Indications] Pediatric convulsions and Tian Diao Feng (a type of pediatric convulsion), dispelling various wind-heat, calming the heart and brightening the eyes, treating traumatic injuries and stopping bleeding, nourishing the five zang organs (*Kaibao Bencao*). Treating stroke with phlegm obstruction, sudden aphasia, pediatric Ke Wu (fright syndrome), and epilepsy (Kou Zongshi).
[Analysis and Clarification] Su Song stated: Tianzhu Huang cools the Heart meridian and dispels wind-heat. It is particularly suitable for pediatric use due to its mild nature.
Li Shizhen stated: Zhu Huang is formed from the sap and qi of large bamboos. Its properties and functions are identical to Zhuli (Bamboo Sap), but without the cold and slippery side effects.
[Attached Prescriptions] One new prescription.
Pediatric heat from fright: Tianzhu Huang 2 qian, Xionghuang (Realgar) and Qianniu (Pharbitis Seed) powder each 1 qian, ground uniformly, made into pills the size of millet grains using wheat paste. Take 3–5 pills per dose, washed down with Mint Decoction (Qian Yi's formula).
(Recorded in the Song Dynasty *Jiayou Bencao*)
[Collection and Explanation] Chen Cangqi stated: This refers to shoots that die immediately when they are about to become bamboo; the color is black like lacquer, harvested in the fifth and sixth lunar months. Ku Zhu (Bitter Bamboo) and Gui Zhu (Cassia Bamboo) often produce this. There is also a herb called Xianren Zhang (Immortal Staff), see the Herb section. Gouqi (Lycium Fruit) is also named Xianren Zhang, sharing the same name.
[Properties and Flavors] Salty, neutral, non-toxic. Kou Zongshi stated: Cold.
[Indications] Hiccups and vomiting, pediatric milk regurgitation, adult food vomiting and reverse flow dysphagia, warding off pathogenic factors, taken after boiling in water (Chen Cangqi). Treating pediatric convulsions and night crying; placing the child to sleep alongside it is effective. Also, burning it into powder and taking one fangcun bi (approx. 3-5 grams) with water treats hemorrhoids. Avoid beef (Kou Zongshi).
Boiled juice taken orally expels fish bones stuck in the throat (Li Shizhen).
