（宋《开宝》）
【校正】禹锡曰∶陈氏言郁是草英，不当附于木部。今移入此。
【释名】郁金（《御览》）、红蓝花（《纲目》）、紫述香（《纲目》）、草麝香、茶矩摩（佛
书）。
颂曰∶许慎《说文解字》云∶郁，芳草也。十叶为贯，百二十贯筑以煮之。郁鬯乃百草
之英，合而酿酒以降神，乃远方郁人所贡，故谓之郁。郁，今郁林郡也。
时珍曰∶汉郁林郡，即今广西、贵州、浔、柳、邕、宾诸州之地。《一统志》惟载柳州
罗城县出郁金香，即此也。《金光明经》谓之茶矩摩香。此乃郁金花香，与今时所用郁金根，
名同物异。《唐慎微本草》收此入彼下，误矣。按赵古则《六书本义》∶鬯字，象米在器中，
以匕 之之意。郁字从臼，奉缶置于几上，鬯有 饰，五体之意。俗作郁。则郁乃取花筑酒
之意，非指地言，地乃因此草得名耳。
【集解】藏器曰∶郁金香生大秦国，二月、三月有花，状如红蓝，四月、五月采花，即
香也。
时珍曰∶按郑玄云∶郁草似兰。杨孚《南州异物志》云∶郁金出 宾，国人种之，先以
供佛，数日萎，然后取之。色正黄，与芙蓉花裹嫩莲者相似，可以香酒。又《唐书》云∶太
宗时，伽毗国献郁金香，叶似麦门冬，九月花开，状似芙蓉，其色紫碧，香闻数十步，花而
不实，欲种者取根。二说皆同，但花色不同，种或不一也。《古乐府》云∶中有郁金苏合香
者，是此郁金也。晋左贵嫔有《郁金颂》云∶伊芳有奇草，名曰郁金。越自殊域，厥珍来寻。
芳香酷烈，悦目怡心。明德惟馨，淑人是钦。
【气味】苦，温，无毒。藏器曰∶平。
【主治】蛊野诸毒，心腹间恶气鬼疰，鸦鹘等一切臭。入诸香药用（藏器）。
（出自宋代《开宝本草》）
【校正】禹锡说：陈氏认为“郁”是草的花，不应该附在木部。现在将其移入此处。
【释名】郁金（见于《太平御览》）、红蓝花（见于《本草纲目》）、紫述香（见于《本草纲目》）、草麝香、茶矩摩（佛经用语）。
苏颂说：许慎在《说文解字》中说：“郁，是芳草。十片叶子为一串，一百二十串堆积起来煮它。郁鬯（一种祭祀用的香酒）是百草的花精华，混合后酿酒以降临神灵，这是远方郁地人进贡的，所以称为郁。郁，就是现在的郁林郡。”
李时珍说：汉代的郁林郡，就是现在的广西、贵州以及浔州、柳州、邕州、宾州等地的地方。《一统志》只记载柳州罗城县出产郁金香，就是这种植物。《金光明经》称它为茶矩摩香。这是郁金花的香气，与现在所用的郁金根，名称相同但实物不同。《唐慎微本草》将这种花收录在郁金根条目下，是错误的。根据赵古则《六书本义》的解释：“鬯”字，形象地描绘了米在容器中，用勺子搅拌的意思。“郁”字从“臼”，捧着瓦罐放在几案上，“鬯”有装饰，象征五体之意。俗体写作“郁”。那么“郁”是取花捣碎酿酒的意思，不是指地名，地名是因为这种草而得名罢了。
【集解】藏器说：郁金香生长在大秦国（古代对罗马帝国或西亚地区的称呼），二月、三月开花，形状像红蓝花，四月、五月采集花朵，就是香料。
李时珍说：根据郑玄的说法：郁草像兰草。杨孚《南州异物志》说：郁金出产于宾国（古国名），国人种植它，先用来供奉佛像，几天后枯萎，然后才采摘。颜色正黄，与芙蓉花包裹嫩莲蓬相似，可以用来熏香酒。又据《唐书》记载：唐太宗时期，伽毗国进贡郁金香，叶子像麦门冬，九月开花，形状像芙蓉，颜色紫碧色，香气能闻到几十步远，只开花不结果，想种植的人取其根。这两种说法大体相同，只是花色不同，品种或许不一致。《古乐府》说：“中有郁金苏合香者”，指的就是这种郁金。晋代左贵嫔有《郁金颂》说：“那芳香的奇异草，名叫郁金。跨越不同的地域，珍贵的宝物寻来。芳香猛烈，悦目怡心。明德只有香气，贤淑之人钦佩。”
【气味】苦味，温性，无毒。藏器说：平性。
【主治】蛊毒、野毒等各种毒邪，心腹间的恶气、鬼疰（中医病名，指因接触死者或疫气引起的传染性病症），乌鸦、鹘鸟等一切臭味。可加入各种香料药中使用（引自藏器）。
(Sourced from the Song Dynasty *Kaibao Bencao*)
[Correction] Yuxi stated: Chen氏 (Chen Shi) argued that "Yu" refers to the flower of a herb and should not be attached to the Wood category. It is now transferred here.
[Names] Yujin (found in *Taiping Yulan*), Honglanhua (found in *Bencao Gangmu*), Zishuxiang (found in *Bencao Gangmu*), Cao Shexiang, Chumomo (Buddhist scripture term).
Song said: Xu Shen in *Shuowen Jiezi* stated: "Yu is a fragrant herb. Ten leaves form one strand; one hundred and twenty strands are piled up and boiled. Yuchang (a fragrant wine used for sacrifices) is the essence of flowers from hundreds of herbs, mixed and brewed into wine to summon spirits. It was offered by people from distant Yu lands, hence called Yu. Yu refers to present-day Yulin Commandery."
Li Shizhen said: The Han Dynasty's Yulin Commandery corresponds to the areas of modern Guangxi, Guizhou, and Xun, Liuzhou, Yong, and Bin prefectures. *Yitong Zhi* only records that Luocheng County in Liuzhou produces Yujin (Tulip), which is this plant. *Jin Guangming Jing* calls it Chumomo fragrance. This is the fragrance of the Yujin flower, which shares the name but differs in substance from the Yujin root used today. *Tang Shenwei Bencao* incorrectly included this flower under the entry for Yujin root. According to Zhao Gize's *Liushu Benyi*: The character "Chang" depicts rice in a vessel being stirred with a spoon. The character "Yu" contains "Jiu" (mortar), holding a jar placed on a table; "Chang" has decorations, symbolizing the five body parts. The vernacular form is written as "Yu". Thus, "Yu" implies crushing flowers to brew wine, not referring to a place name; the place name derived its name from this herb.
[Collection and Explanation] Canger said: Yujin grows in Daqin (ancient term for Rome or West Asia). It blooms in February and March, resembling Honglanhua. Flowers are harvested in April and May, yielding the spice.
Li Shizhen said: According to Zheng Xuan: Yu grass resembles orchids. Yang Fu's *Nanzhou Yiwu Zhi* states: Yujin originates from Bin Country. Locals cultivate it, first offering it to Buddha statues; after several days of wilting, it is harvested. Its color is bright yellow, resembling lotus buds wrapped in hibiscus flowers, and can be used to scent wine. Additionally, *Book of Tang* records: During Emperor Taizong's reign, the Jiapi Kingdom presented Yujin. Its leaves resemble Ophiopogonis Radix (Mendong); it blooms in September, resembling hibiscus, with purple-green petals. The fragrance spreads dozens of steps. It flowers but does not bear fruit; those wishing to cultivate it take the roots. These two accounts are largely consistent, differing only in flower color, suggesting different varieties. *Ancient Yuefu* states: "Among them is Yujin and Suhe incense," referring to this Yujin. Zuo Guipin of Jin wrote *Ode to Yujin*: "That fragrant strange herb, named Yujin. Crossing distinct regions, precious treasures come seeking. The aroma is intense, pleasing to the eye and heart. Virtue shines through fragrance, admired by virtuous persons."
[Flavor and Properties] Bitter, warm, non-toxic. Canger stated: Neutral.
[Therapeutic Actions] Treats gu poison, wild poisons, and various toxic pathogens; evil qi and guizhu (a traditional disease concept referring to infectious ailments caused by contact with corpses or epidemic qi) in the heart and abdomen; odors from crows, hawks, and all other foul smells. Can be incorporated into various aromatic medicinal preparations (citing Canger).
