【假苏】（即荆芥）
气味辛、温。主治寒热往来及鼠瘘（颈部淋巴结结核）。治疗瘰疬（颈部肿块）及生疮。能破除气机结聚，下行瘀血，祛除湿痹。又名鼠负。生长在川泽之地。（现在称为荆芥）
像苏草一样长久借用其名，味道也是辛温的。野生于田野，种植于园圃。其贮藏特性同于鼠朴（一种草药），毒性禁忌在于不可与鱼同食。闲暇时采摘蔬菜寻觅它，它的根盘绕在石头间生长。
苏恭说：气味辛香。像苏草一样，孟子所说的“久假而不归”（长期借用而不归还）。《后汉书》注解说：野谷不经过种植而自然生长，称为“旅生”。柳宗元诗云：“掇野代嘉肴”（采集野菜代替美味佳肴）。《周礼》记载：大司徒的职责之一是树艺（种植作物）。庾信赋云：“石堰水而浇园”（用石堰拦水浇灌园圃）。李时珍说：荆芥原本是野生的，现在被世人所用，所以大多进行栽培播种。种子发芽长苗，炒熟后可食用。《战国策》中应侯说：周人把未腊制的老鼠称为朴。《公羊传》记载：赵盾正在吃鱼饭。《辍耕录》记载：凡是吃河豚时，不可食用荆芥。苏轼诗云：“穿林间觅野芎苗”（穿过树林寻找野芎的幼苗）。方千诗云：“须知碍石作盘根”（必须知道它阻碍石头形成盘曲的根）。苏颂说：还有石荆芥，生长在山石之间，体性和药性相近。
【翘根】
气味甘。性寒平。主治下焦热气，补益阴精，使人面色悦泽美好，明目。长期服用可身体轻盈，耐老抗衰。生长在平泽之地。
根部如同飞扬的翘尾，味道甘甜兼有苦味。产地记得是高耸的山峰。药性与曲枸（一种植物）相同。如冠玉般增加容颜光彩，拨开云雾快见青天。记录遗失形体遗忘自我，长久荒芜于荆棘草丛之中。
郑曼季诗云：“春草扬翘”。《尚书》记载：稼穑产生甘味。《周礼》记载：食医在夏季饮食多配苦味。《太平御览》记载：味道苦平。
名医说：生长在嵩高山，二八月采收。吴普说：采收用来制作蒸制食品。饮酒患病者需注意。《诗经·疏》记载：南山有枸树，多枝且弯曲，能败坏酒味。《南史传》记载：鲍泉面色如冠玉。赵良器赋云：“光近侍以增容”。《世说新语》记载：若披云雾而睹青天。陶弘景说：方药中不使用，世俗之人不认识它。李白诗云：“嵯峨蔽榛莽”（高耸的山峰遮蔽了荆棘草丛）。
[Jiasu] (i.e., Jingjie / Schizonepetae Herba)
Taste: Acrid, Pungent; Nature: Warm. Indications: Chills and fever (alternating chills and fever), Shulou (scrofula/tuberculous lymphadenitis of the neck). Treats Luoli (neck masses/lumps) and sores/ulcers. Breaks up Qi stagnation and nodules, descends blood stasis, expels dampness and bi-syndrome (painful obstruction). Also known as Shufu. Grows in rivers and marshes. (Currently named Jingjie).
Borrowing the name of Su (Perilla) for a long time, its taste is also acrid and warm. It grows wild in the fields and is cultivated in gardens. Its storage properties are similar to Shipu (a medicinal herb); it is toxic if consumed with fish. It is sought after during leisurely vegetable picking, with roots entangled around stones.
Su Gong stated: The aroma is acrid and fragrant. Like Su, referring to Mencius's phrase "borrowing for a long time without returning." The commentary on *Book of Later Han* states: Wild grains that grow without planting are called "Lusheng" (traveling/wild growth). Liu Zongyuan's poem says: "Gathering wild vegetables to replace fine dishes." *Rites of Zhou* records: One of the duties of the Grand Steward is Shuyi (planting/cultivation). Yu Xin's fu says: "Using stone weirs to hold water for irrigating gardens." Li Shizhen said: Jingjie was originally wild, but now that it is used by the world, it is mostly planted and sown. Seeds sprout into seedlings, which can be stir-fried and eaten. In *Strategies of the Warring States*, Lord Yinghou said: People of Zhou call un-cured mice "Pu". *Gongyang Zhuan* records: Zhao Dun was eating fish rice. *Chuo Geng Lu* records: When consuming pufferfish, one must not consume Jingjie. Su Shi's poem says: "Searching through the woods for wild Xiong (Angelica) seedlings." Fang Qian's poem says: "One must know it forms coiled roots hindering stones." Su Song said: There is also Shijingjie (Stone Jingjie), growing among mountain rocks, with similar physical characteristics and properties.
[Qiaogen]
Taste: Sweet; Nature: Cold, Neutral. Indications: Heat qi in the lower jiao, benefits Yin essence, makes the face radiant and beautiful, improves vision. Long-term consumption leads to a light body and resistance to aging. Grows in flat marshes.
The root resembles a flying tail tip; the taste is sweet mixed with bitter. The production area is remembered as high mountains. Its nature is similar to Quju (a plant). It enhances facial beauty like a jade crown, clearing clouds to reveal the blue sky. Records forget the form, lingering long in overgrown thorns and grass.
Zheng Manji's poem says: "Spring grass raises its tips." *Book of Documents* records: Sowing and reaping produce sweetness. *Rites of Zhou* records: Food physicians generally use bitter flavors in summer diets. *Taiping Yulan* records: Taste is bitter and neutral.
Famous Physicians stated: Grows on Mount Song, harvested in the second and eighth lunar months. Wu Pu said: Harvested for steaming. Patients suffering from alcohol intoxication should note this. Commentary on *Classic of Poetry* records: The southern mountain has Ju trees, with many branches and curves, capable of neutralizing alcohol flavor. *History of the Southern Dynasties* records: Bao Quan's face was like a jade crown. Zhao Liangqi's fu says: "Brightening the attendants' appearance." *A New Account of the Tales of the World* records: As if parting clouds and mist to see the blue sky. Tao Hongjing said: Not used in prescriptions, unrecognized by common people. Li Bai's poem says: "Lofty peaks obscured by dense thorns and weeds."
