【铜矿石】（音同“古猛”，也写作“ ”。出自《唐本草》）
【释名】李时珍说：矿，指粗劣恶劣之物。五金（金、银、铜、铁、锡）都有粗糙的石头包裹着它，所以叫矿。麦粒中粗大的，称为KT；狗中凶猛恶毒的，也称为犷。
【集解】苏恭说：铜矿石，形状像姜石但含有铜星，熔化后可以提取铜。出产于有铜的山中。许慎在《说文解字》中说：矿，是含有铜铁的原始矿石。

【集解】陈藏器说：生铜和熟铜表面都会产生青色物质，这就是铜的精华，颗粒大的就是空青，次一等的就是空青。铜青则是铜器表面生成的绿色物质，经过淘洗后使用。

【气味】味酸，性平，微毒。

治疗恶疮、疳疮，吐出风痰，杀虫（李时珍）。
【发明】李时珍说：铜青是铜的液气凝结而成的，味酸且有小毒，能进入肝胆经，所以能吐出风痰、明目、杀灭疳虫，这些都是肝胆的疾病。《抱朴子》说：用铜青涂抹木头，放入水中也不会腐烂。

[Copper Ore] (Pronounced "Gu Meng", also written as " ". Source: *Tang Bencao*)
[Names] Li Shizhen stated: "Kuang" refers to coarse and inferior substances. The Five Metals (Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron, Tin) are all accompanied by coarse stones, hence the name. Coarse grains of wheat are called KT; vicious dogs are also called Kuang.
[Collection and Explanation] Su Gong stated: Copper ore resembles ginger stone but contains copper stars; it is smelted to extract copper. It is found in mountains where copper exists. Xu Shen in *Shuowen Jiezi* said: "Kuang" is the raw stone containing copper and iron.
[Flavor and Properties] Sour, cold, slightly toxic.
[Indications] Carbuncles, swellings, and malignant sores: grind into powder and apply externally. Sores on the back of donkeys or horses, and foul-smitting armpits: grind into juice and apply topically (*Tang Bencao*).
[Copper Green] (Source: Song Dynasty *Jiayou Bencao*)
[Names] Tong Lü (Copper Green).
[Collection and Explanation] Chen Zangqi stated: Both raw and refined copper develop a green patina, which is the essence of copper. The larger pieces are Kong Qing (Azurite), and the smaller ones are also classified under Kong Qing.

[Elucidation] Li Shizhen stated: Tong Qing is formed by the condensation of liquid qi from copper. It is sour and slightly toxic, entering the Liver and Gallbladder meridians. Therefore, it expels wind-phlegm, brightens the eyes, and treats Gan disorders, all of which are diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder. *Baopuzi* states: Applying Tong Qing to wood prevents rotting when submerged in water.
