唐吕西华遇胡僧,授此方,《沈存中良方》备载其事。
白麦饭石(颜色黄白类麦饭者,曾作磨者尤佳。炭火烧赤,醋中浸之,十遍止,为末)
白蔹末(与石等分) 鹿角(三二寸,截之。不用自脱者。凡带脑骨者,即非自脱。炭火烧
之,烟尽为度,捣为末,倍前二味)
上并捣,筛令细。取多年米醋,于铛中煎,并令鱼眼沸,即下前件末,调如稀饧。以篦
子涂敷肿上,只当疮头留一指面地,勿令合,以出热气。如未脓,当内消;若已作头,当撮
小。若日久疮甚,肌肉损烂,筋骨出露,即于布上涂药,贴之疮上,干即再换,但以鬲中不
穴,无不瘥。疮切忌手触,宜戒之。刘梦得《传信方》亦载。
丹阳僧传。
金银花(一名忍寒草)
上采叶,研为滓,敷疮口。(花五出而白,微香,蒂带红色,野生延蔓,叶如薜荔而青
予见《沈存中良方》所载,忍冬嫩苗,治痈疽云∶江西医僧鉴清,善治背疽,得其方,用老
翁须。后在金陵,闻医王善琪治疡,其方用水杨藤,观之,乃老翁须也。又友人王子渊,自
言得神方,活数人,方用大薜荔。又杜医治疡,常以二万钱活一人,方用千金藤。又宁国尉
王子骏传一方,用金银花。海州士人刘纯臣传一方,用金钗股,皆自神其方。求其草视之,
盖一物也。存中云,仓卒求不获,只用干叶为散,并甘草酒煮服,然不及生者。)
唐代吕西华遇到一位胡人僧人,这位僧人传授给他这个方子,《沈存中良方》详细记载了这件事。
白麦饭石(颜色黄白像麦饭一样的石头,曾经被用作磨具的尤其好。用炭火烧红后,浸入醋中,重复十次为止,研磨成粉末)
白蔹末(与麦饭石的量相等)
鹿角(长二三寸,截断使用。不要用自然脱落的。凡是带有脑骨的,就不是自然脱落的。用炭火烧它,直到烟烧尽为止,捣碎成粉末,用量是前两种药材的两倍)
以上药材一起捣碎,筛得细一些。取多年的米醋,在锅(铛)中煎煮,等到出现鱼眼大小的气泡沸腾时,就加入上述药末,调制成像稀糖浆一样稠度的糊状物。用篦子涂抹敷在肿胀处,只在疮头留出一指宽的地方不要覆盖,以便让热气散发出来。如果还没有化脓,应当使肿块内消;如果已经形成疮头,应当使其变小。如果病程日久,疮毒严重,肌肉腐烂,筋骨暴露,就在布上涂药,贴在疮口上,干了就再换,只要膻中穴(位于两乳之间)不堵塞,没有治不好的。疮口切忌用手触摸,应该戒除这一习惯。刘梦得的《传信方》也记载了这个方子。
这是由丹阳的僧人传承下来的。
金银花(又名忍寒草)
采集它的叶子,研磨成渣滓,敷在疮口上。(花朵五瓣且白色,有微香,花蒂带红色,野生且藤蔓蔓延,叶子像薜荔但呈青色。我曾见《沈存中良方》所载,忍冬的嫩苗治疗痈疽说:江西有一位医僧叫鉴清,擅长治疗背疽,得到了一个方子,使用老翁须。后来他在金陵,听说医生王善琪治疗疡疮,他的方子用水杨藤,观察一下,其实就是老翁须。又有一位朋友王子渊,自称得到了神方,救活了几个人,方子用的是大薜荔。还有杜医生治疗疡疮,常以两万钱救活一个人,方子用的是千金藤。还有宁国尉王子骏传承的一个方子,使用金银花。海州的士人刘纯臣传承的一个方子,使用金钗股,这些人都是故意神化他们的方子。去查看那些草药,发现其实是一种东西。沈存中说,仓促间找不到新鲜的,只用干叶研成散剂,并用甘草酒煮服,然而效果不如新鲜的好。)
In the Tang Dynasty, Lu Xihua met a Hu monk who bestowed this prescription upon him; *Shen Cunzhong's Good Prescriptions* (*Shen Cunzhong Liangfang*) records this incident in detail.
Baimai Fanshi (White Wheat-Rice Stone): Stones that are yellowish-white resembling wheat rice are used; those previously employed as millstones are particularly excellent. They are heated red-hot with charcoal fire, soaked in vinegar, repeated ten times, and then ground into powder.
Baolian Mo (Powder of *Ampelopsis japonica* Rhizome): Used in equal proportion to the stone.
Lujiao (Deer Antler): Cut into pieces two or three cun long. Do not use naturally shed antlers. Any piece containing cranial bone is not naturally shed. It is burned with charcoal fire until the smoke ceases, then pounded into powder. The dosage is double that of the previous two ingredients.
All ingredients are together pounded and sifted to be fine. Take aged rice vinegar and boil it in a pan until bubbles resembling fish eyes appear. Then add the aforementioned powders and mix into a paste with the consistency of thin syrup. Apply the mixture over the swelling using a comb-like spatula, leaving an area the size of a finger uncovered at the center of the sore to allow heat to dissipate. If suppuration has not yet occurred, aim for internal resolution; if a head has formed, aim to reduce its size. If the disease has persisted for a long time and the sore is severe, with muscle decay and exposed bones/tendons, apply the medicine on cloth and patch it onto the sore. Replace when dry. As long as the Shanzhong acupoint (CV17, located between the nipples) remains unobstructed, there will be no case that cannot be cured. The sore must strictly avoid being touched by hands; this habit should be戒 (abstained from). Liu Mengde's *Chuanxin Fang* also records this prescription.
This was transmitted by a monk from Danyang.
Jinyinhua (Honeysuckle Flower), also known as Renhan Cao (Cold-Enduring Grass).
Harvest the leaves, grind them into dregs, and apply to the sore opening. (The flower has five white petals, a slight fragrance, and a reddish calyx; it is wild, climbing, and its leaves resemble those of *Ficus pumila* but are green. I once saw in *Shen Cunzhong's Good Prescriptions* that tender shoots of *Lonicera japonica* (Ren Dong) were used to treat carbuncles and sores: A medical monk named Jianqing in Jiangxi, skilled in treating back abscesses, obtained a formula using Laoweng Xu (Old Man's Beard). Later in Jinling, he heard that physician Wang Shanqi treated ulcers with Shuiyang Teng (Water Willow Vine); upon inspection, this was indeed Laoweng Xu. Another friend, Wang Ziyuan, claimed to have received a miraculous formula that saved several people, using Da Bili (Large Fig-leaved Ivy). Additionally, Doctor Du often saved one person for twenty thousand cash using Qianjin Teng (Thousand-Gold Vine). Furthermore, Wang Zijun, Vice Magistrate of Ningguo, transmitted a formula using Jinyinhua. Liu Chunchen, a scholar from Haizhou, transmitted a formula using Jinchaigu (Golden Hairpin Stock). All these individuals sought to mystify their formulas. Upon examining the herbs, they turned out to be the same plant. Shen Cunzhong stated that if fresh herbs could not be obtained in haste, dried leaves ground into powder and boiled with licorice wine could be used, though this is inferior to using fresh ones.)
