（《本经》上品）
【集解】《别录》曰∶紫石英生泰山山谷，采无时。
普曰∶生泰山或会稽，欲令如削，紫色达头如樗蒲者。
弘景曰∶今第一用泰山石，色重澈下有根。次出雹零山，亦好。又有南城石，无根。又
有青绵石，色亦重黑明澈。又有林邑石，腹里必有一物如眼。吴兴石，四面才有紫色，无光
泽。会稽诸暨石，形色如石榴子。先时并杂用，今惟采泰山最胜。《仙经》不正用，而俗方
重之。
禹锡曰∶按《岭表录异》云∶泷州山中多紫石英，其色淡紫，其质莹澈，随其大小皆五
棱，两头如箭镞。煮水饮之，暖而无毒，比之北中白石英，其力倍矣。
宗 曰∶紫石英明澈如水精，但色紫而不匀。
时珍曰∶按∶《太平御览》云∶自大岘至泰山，皆有紫石英。泰山所出，甚瑰玮。平氏
阳山县所出，色深特好。乌程县北垄山所出，甚光明，但小黑，东莞县爆山所出，旧以贡献。
江夏矾山亦出之。永嘉固陶村小山所出，芒角甚好，但色小薄尔。
【修治】时珍曰∶凡入丸散，扩火 醋淬七次，碾末水飞过，晒干入药。
【气味】甘，温，无毒。《别录》曰∶辛。
普曰∶神农、扁鹊∶味甘，平；李当之∶大寒；雷公∶大温；岐伯∶甘，无毒。
之才曰∶长石为之使。畏扁青、附子。恶 甲、黄连、麦句姜。得茯苓、人参，疗心中
结气；得天雄、菖蒲，疗霍乱。
时珍曰∶服食紫石英，乍寒乍热者，饮酒良。
【主治】心腹咳逆邪气，补不足，女子风寒在子宫，绝孕十年无子。久服温中，轻身延
年（《本经》）。
疗上气心腹痛，寒热邪气结气，补心气不足，定惊悸，安魂魄。填下焦，止消渴，除胃
中久寒。散痈肿，令人悦泽（《别录》）。
养肺气，治惊痫，蚀脓（甄权）。
【发明】好古曰∶紫石英，入手少阴、足缺阴经。
权曰∶虚而惊悸不安者，宜加用之。女子服之，有子。
颂曰∶《乳石论》，无单服紫石者。惟五石散中用之。《张文仲备急方》，有镇心单服紫石
煮水法。
胡洽及《千金方》，则多杂诸药同用。今方治妇人及心病，时有使者。
时珍曰∶紫石英，手少阴、足缺阴血分药也。上能镇心，重以去怯也。下能益肝，湿以
去枯也。心生血，肝藏血，其性暖而补，故心神不安，肝血不足，及女子血海虚寒不孕者宜
之。《别录》言其补心气，甄权言其养肺者，殊昧气阳血阴营卫之别。惟《本经》所言诸证，
甚得此理。

华本草》）
【集解】《神农本草经》列为上品。
《名医别录》记载：紫石英产于泰山的山谷中，采集没有固定的时间。
李当之说：紫石英产于泰山或会稽，要求像刀削一样平整，紫色直达顶端，形状像樗蒲（古代一种赌具）的棋子。
陶弘景说：现在最常用的是泰山出产的石，颜色深沉通透且底部有根。其次是雹零山出产的，也很好。还有南城石，没有根。又有青绵石，颜色深沉黑亮通透。还有林邑石，腹部中间一定有一个像眼睛一样的东西。吴兴石，只有四面带有紫色，没有光泽。会稽诸暨石，形状颜色像石榴籽。以前这些石头混杂使用，现在只采集泰山出产的最为优良。道教仙方不正规使用它，但世俗医方很重视它。
禹锡说：查阅《岭表录异》记载：泷州山中多产紫石英，颜色淡紫，质地晶莹通透，无论大小都有五个棱面，两头像箭头。煮水饮用，性暖而无毒，比起北方中原地区的白石英，药效强一倍。
寇宗奭说：紫石英清澈如水精（水晶），只是颜色紫而不均匀。
李时珍说：查阅《太平御览》记载：自大岘山到泰山，都有紫石英产出。泰山出产的，非常瑰丽奇特。平氏阳山县出产的，颜色深特别好。乌程县北垄山出产的，非常光明，只是颜色小黑。东莞县爆山出产的，过去曾作为贡品进献。江夏矾山也出产。永嘉固陶村小山出产的，棱角很好，只是颜色稍显单薄。
【修治】李时珍说：凡是用于丸药或散剂，先用火煅烧，再用醋淬炼七次，碾成粉末，用水飞法处理，晒干后入药。
【气味】味甘，性温，无毒。《名医别录》记载：味辛。
李当之说：神农、扁鹊认为：味甘，性平；李当之认为：大寒；雷公认为：大温；岐伯认为：甘，无毒。
徐之才说：长石是它的引经药（使药）。畏忌扁青、附子。厌恶龟甲、黄连、麦句姜。配合茯苓、人参使用，可治疗心中结气；配合天雄、菖蒲使用，可治疗霍乱。
李时珍说：服用紫石英后出现忽冷忽热症状的，饮酒效果良好。
【主治】治疗心腹部的咳逆邪气，补益不足，女子子宫受风寒，导致十年无法受孕。长期服用能温中，轻身延年。（出自《神农本草经》）
治疗上气、心腹痛，寒热邪气结聚之气，补益心气不足，定惊悸，安魂魄。填补下焦，止消渴，去除胃中久寒。消散痈肿，使人面色悦泽。（出自《名医别录》）
养肺气，治疗惊痫，腐蚀脓液（甄权）。
【发明】好古说：紫石英，归入手少阴心经、足厥阴肝经。
甄权说：虚损而惊悸不安的人，适宜加用此药。女子服用，可以怀孕。
苏颂说：《乳石论》中没有单独服用紫石英的记载。只有在五石散中使用。《张文仲备急方》中，有镇心单独服用紫石英煮水的方法。
胡洽及《千金方》，则多与其他药物混合使用。现在的方剂治疗妇人和心病时，偶尔也会用到它。
李时珍说：紫石英，是手少阴心经、足厥阴肝经的血分药。在上能镇心安神，利用其重坠之性以去除怯懦；在下能补益肝脏，利用其湿润之性以去除枯槁。心主生血，肝主藏血，紫石英性质温暖且具有补益作用，所以心神不安、肝血不足，以及女子血海虚寒导致不孕者适宜使用。《名医别录》说它补心气，甄权说它养肺，这些都混淆了气、阳、血、阴、营、卫的区别。只有《神农本草经》所说的各种病症，很符合这一原理。
【附方】旧方三：虚劳惊悸，补虚止惊，让人能进食：紫石英五两，捣碎如豆粒大小，用水淘洗一遍，用一斗水，煎取二升，细细服用，或者煮粥食用，水干后可以再煎。（张文仲方）
风热抽搐：风引汤：治疗风热抽搐，以及惊痫抽搐。紫石英、赤石脂、白石脂、寒水石、石膏、干姜、大黄、龙齿、桂枝、牡蛎、甘草、滑石各等分。切碎。用水一升，煎至减少三分之一，饭后温热呷服，没有不有效的。
（出自张仲景《金匮要略方论》）痈肿毒瓦斯：紫石英火烧后用醋淬炼，研成粉末。用生姜、米醋煎敷患处，磨碎涂抹也可以。
（出自《日华子本草》）
[Collected Explanations] Listed as a Superior Grade herb in the *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Divine Farmer's Materia Medica).
The *Mingyi Bielu* (Record of Famous Physicians) states: Zi Shiy ing (Purple Fluorspar) grows in the valleys of Mount Tai, and can be harvested at any time.
Li Dangzhi says: It grows in Mount Tai or Kuaiji. It should be flat like it has been sliced by a knife, with purple color extending to the top, shaped like a Chupu (ancient gambling piece).
Tao Hongjing says: Currently, the best is that from Mount Tai, which is deep-colored, transparent, and has roots at the bottom. Next is that from Baoling Mountain, which is also good. There is also Nancheng stone, which has no roots. There is Qingmian stone, which is dark, black, bright, and transparent. There is Linyi stone, which must have an object inside resembling an eye in its belly. Wuxing stone has purple only on four sides and lacks luster. Kuaiji Zhuji stone resembles pomegranate seeds in shape and color. Previously, these were used mixed together; now only the finest from Mount Tai is collected. Daoist alchemical texts do not use it properly, but secular medical formulas value it highly.
Yu Xi says: According to the *Lingbiao Luyi*, Longzhou mountains produce much Zi Shiy ing. Its color is pale purple, texture is crystal clear, and regardless of size, it has five edges, with both ends like arrowheads. Boiled in water for drinking, it is warm and non-toxic. Compared to Bai Shiy ing (White Fluorspar) in the North and Central Plains, its efficacy is doubled.
Kou Zongsuo says: Zi Shiy ing is clear like quartz (water essence), but the purple color is uneven.
Li Shizhen says: According to the *Taiping Yulan*, Zi Shiy ing exists from Da Xian to Mount Tai. The output from Mount Tai is very magnificent. That from Yangshan County in Pingshi has a deep color and is particularly good. That from Beilong Mountain in Wucheng County is very bright but small and black. That from Bao Mountain in Dongguan County was formerly offered as tribute. Fan Mountain in Jiangxia also produces it. The small hill in Gutao Village, Yongjia produces it with good sharp edges, but the color is slightly thin.
[Processing] Li Shizhen says: Whenever used in pills or powders, calcine it over fire, quench it in vinegar seven times, grind into powder, process by water flotation, dry, and then use in medicine.
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet, warm, non-toxic. The *Mingyi Bielu* states: Pungent.
Li Dangzhi says: Shennong and Bian Que: Sweet, neutral; Li Dangzhi: Greatly cold; Lei Gong: Greatly warm; Qibo: Sweet, non-toxic.
Xu Zhicai says: Chang Shi (Long Stone) is its guiding herb (shi). It fears Pian Qing and Fuzi. It dislikes Gui Jia (Turtle Shell), Huanglian, and Maijujiang. When combined with Fuling and Renshen, it treats knotting qi in the heart; when combined with Tianxiong and Changpu, it treats Huoluan (cholera-like disease).
Li Shizhen says: For those who experience alternating chills and fever after taking Zi Shiy ing, drinking wine is beneficial.
[Indications] Treats rebellious cough and evil qi in the heart and abdomen, supplements deficiencies, treats wind-cold in the uterus of women causing infertility for ten years. Long-term use warms the middle, lightens the body, and prolongs life (*Shennong Bencao Jing*).
Treats upward qi, heart and abdominal pain, knotting qi of cold-heat evil qi, supplements deficiency of heart qi, calms palpitations, stabilizes the soul. Fills the lower jiao, stops thirst, removes chronic cold in the stomach. Disperses carbuncles and swelling, makes one look radiant (*Mingyi Bielu*).
Nourishes lung qi, treats epilepsy and convulsions, erodes pus (Zhen Quan).
[Elucidation] Hao Gu says: Zi Shiy ing enters the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian and Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian.
Zhen Quan says: For those who are deficient and suffer from unsettled palpitations, it is suitable to add this. Women who take it will conceive.
Su Song says: The *Rushi Lun* (Discussion on Milk Stones) does not mention taking Zi Shi alone. It is only used in Wushi San (Five Minerals Powder). The *Zhang Wenzhong Beijifang* has a method for calming the heart by taking Zi Shi boiled in water alone.
Hu Qia and the *Qianjin Fang* often mix it with other herbs. In current formulas treating women's diseases and heart diseases, it is occasionally used.
Li Shizhen says: Zi Shiy ing is a blood-level herb for the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian and Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian. Upward, it calms the heart using its heavy nature to dispel fear; downward, it benefits the liver using its moistening nature to dispel dryness. The heart generates blood, and the liver stores blood. Its nature is warm and tonifying, so it is suitable for unsettled heart spirit, insufficient liver blood, and women with empty-cold in the Blood Sea causing infertility. The *Mingyi Bielu*'s claim that it supplements heart qi, and Zhen Quan's claim that it nourishes the lungs, confuse the distinctions between qi, yang, blood, yin, ying, and wei. Only the conditions described in the *Shennong Bencao Jing* truly understand this principle.
[Attached Formulas] Old Formula 3: Deficiency consumption with palpitations, tonifies deficiency, stops convulsions, enables eating: Zi Shiy ing 5 liang, crushed to bean size, washed once with water, boiled in 1 dou of water until reduced to 2 sheng, taken slowly, or cooked with porridge; if water runs out, boil again. (Zhang Wenzhong Formula)
Wind-heat convulsions: Fengyin Tang: Treats wind-heat convulsions and epileptic convulsions. Zi Shiy ing, Chishi Zhi, Baishi Zhi, Hanshui Shi, Shigao, Ganjiang, Dahuang, Longchi, Guizhi, Muli, Gancao, Huashi in equal parts. Coarsely crush. Boil in 1 sheng of water until reduced by one-third, take warm after meals. No case fails.
(From Zhang Zhongjing's *Jingui Yaolue*) Carbuncle swelling and toxic gases: Calcine Zi Shiy ing and quench in vinegar, grind to powder. Apply decoction of fresh ginger and rice vinegar, or rub it on.
(From *Rihuabencao*)
