【白英】
味甘，性寒，无毒。主治寒热往来、八种黄疸、消渴病，能补中益气。长期服用可使人身体轻健、延年益寿。又名谷菜，又名白草。生长在益州的山谷中。春季采集叶片，夏季采集茎秆，秋季采集花朵，冬季采集根部。
陶弘景说：各方药方中不使用此药。这里有一种（音同“斛”）菜，生长在水中，人们蒸熟后食用。而白英生长在山谷中，应当不是这种。另外还有一种白草，叶子可以做羹汤饮用，对治疗虚劳很有疗效，但不使用其根和花。益州还有一种苦菜，当地人专门食用，都能身体健康无病，怀疑或许就是这种。《唐本草》注解说：这是鬼目草。蔓生，叶子像王瓜，较小且长，呈五叉状。果实圆形，像龙葵子，青色，成熟后为紫黑色，煮汁饮用，可解除疲劳。东方人称之为白草。陶弘景说的白草，似乎是认识但不确切分辨。现在根据陈藏器《本草》记载：白英，主治烦热、风疹、丹毒、疟疾瘴气引起的寒热、小儿积热。煮汁饮用。又名鬼目。《尔雅》说：苻，即鬼目。注释说：像葛藤，叶上有毛，果实红色如耳珠，如果说是成熟后变黑如云子，就错了。又根据别本注解说：现在江东人在夏天取其茎、叶煮粥，极能解热毒。
【白蒿】
味甘，性平，无毒。主治五脏邪气、风寒湿痹，能补中益气，促进头发生长并使头发变黑，治疗心悬空感、食欲不振常觉饥饿。长期服用可使人身体轻健，耳目聪明，延缓衰老。生长在中山地区的川泽中。二月采集。
陶弘景说：蒿类植物很多，但民间不听说叫白蒿的，方药家既然不用，都没有再认识它了。既然所主治的疗效很好，应该进一步研究探访。《服食七禽散》中说：白兔吃了它，成仙。这与前文提到的庵䕡子的用法相同。《唐本草》注解说：《尔雅》说：蘩（音同“烦”），皤（音同“婆”）蒿。就是白蒿。这种蒿叶比青蒿粗，从初生到枯萎，比其他蒿都白，有点像细艾草，各地都有。现在根据别本注解说：叶子像艾草，叶上有白色绒毛，粗糙涩手，俗称为蓬蒿。臣禹锡等谨按《尔雅疏》说：蓬蒿可以做腌菜，所以《诗笺》说：用豆酱配蘩菹。陆机说：凡是艾，白色的叫皤蒿。现在的白蒿，春天刚开始生长，到秋天香气美味。可以生吃也可以蒸食。又名游胡，北海人称之为旁勃，所以《大戴礼·夏小正传》说：蘩，就是游胡。游胡，就是旁勃。孟诜说：白蒿，性寒。春初其他草还没长出来时，这种蒿已先长出。捣汁可去除热黄及心痛。其叶生拌醋腌制做腌菜，非常有益于人。另外，将叶晒干研末，夏日暴发性水泻痢疾，用米饮送服一匙，空腹服用。果实，主治鬼气，研末和酒服用效果好。另外，烧成淋灰煎煮，治疗淋沥疾病。
《图经》说：白蒿，就是蓬蒿。生长在中山地区的川泽中，现在各地都有。春初最先于其他草生长，像青蒿但叶较粗，上面有白色绒毛错杂涩手，从初生到枯萎，比其他蒿都白，很像细艾草。二月采集。这就是《尔雅》所说的蘩（音同“烦”），皤（音同“婆”）蒿。疏解说：蓬蒿，可以做腌菜。所以《诗笺》说：用豆酱配蘩菹。陆机说：凡是艾，白色的叫皤蒿。现在的白蒿，春天刚开始生长，到秋天香气美味，可以生吃，也可以蒸食。又名游胡，北海人称之为旁勃，所以《大戴礼·夏小正》说：蘩，就是游胡。游胡，就是旁勃。古人将此草作为腌菜。唐代孟诜也说：生拌醋食用。现在人们只吃蒌蒿，不再吃这种。有人怀疑这种蒿就是蒌蒿。但孟诜又单独列出蒌蒿条目，所说不同，明显是两种植物，从而知道古今食品的不同。另外现在阶州将白蒿当作茵陈蒿，苗、叶也相似，然而入药，恐怕不可用。按蒿类也很多。《尔雅》说：蘩的同类，有秋蒿。说春时各有种类名称，到了秋天老熟，都通称为蒿。中品中有马先蒿，说生长在南阳川泽，叶像益母草，花红白色，八月九月有果实，山谷中称之为虎麻，也叫马新蒿。《诗·小雅》所谓“匪莪伊芳蔚”就是指这个。陆机说：蔚，是牡蒿。牡蒿，是牡（愆刃切）。三月开始生长，七月开花，像胡麻花但呈紫红色，八月结角，角像小豆角，尖而长，一名马新蒿。郭璞注《尔雅》：蔚，是牡。指没有果实的。而陆机说有果实，两种说法略有差异。现在应当以有果实的为正。下品中又有角蒿，说叶像白蒿，花像瞿麦，红赤可爱，子像王不留行，黑色成角状，七月八月采集。又有茵陈蒿、草蒿，下面自有条目。白蒿、马新蒿，古方治疗癞疮多用它们。《深师方》说：取白艾蒿十束如升大小，煮取汁，用曲和米一如酿酒法，待熟后，慢慢饮用。只要是恶疾遍布全身，面目有疮者，都可以饮用。另外取马新蒿捣末，每次服一方寸匕，每日三次。如果病情更严重发红起疮，服用一年，全部痊愈康复。角蒿，医方中很少有用到的。
[Baiying]
Taste is sweet, nature is cold, non-toxic. It primarily treats alternating chills and fever (Hanre), eight types of jaundice (Badan), Xiao Ke disease (wasting-thirst syndrome), and can tonify the middle and replenish Qi (Bu Zhong Yi Qi). Long-term consumption makes the body light and extends longevity. Also known as Gucai (Grain Vegetable) and Baicao (White Grass). Grows in the valleys of Yizhou. Leaves are harvested in spring, stems in summer, flowers in autumn, and roots in winter.
Tao Hongjing stated: This herb is not used in various prescriptions. There is a vegetable (pronounced "hu") that grows in water, which people steam and eat. However, Baiying grows in mountain valleys and should not be this one. Additionally, there is another Baicao whose leaves can be made into soup for drinking; it is very effective in treating consumptive disorders (Lao), but its roots and flowers are not used. In Yizhou, there is also a bitter vegetable that locals consume exclusively, resulting in robust health without illness; it is suspected that this might be the one. The Tang Bencao annotation states: This is Guimu Cao (Ghost Eye Herb). It grows as a vine, with leaves resembling those of Trichosanthes kirilowii (Wanggua), small and elongated with five lobes. The fruit is round, resembling Solanum nigrum seeds (Longkui Zi), green when raw and purple-black when ripe; boiling the juice and drinking it relieves fatigue. People in the East call it Baicao. Tao's mention of Baicao seems to indicate recognition but lack of precise differentiation. According to Chen Cangqi's Bencao: Baiying primarily treats irritability and heat (Fanre), wind-rash (Fengzhen), erysipelas (Dandu), malaria and miasma-induced chills and fever (Nanzhang Hanre), and pediatric internal heat accumulation (Xiao'er Jiere). Boil the juice and drink. Also known as Guimu. The Erya states: Fu is Guimu. The annotation says: Resembling vines, leaves have hairs, fruits are red like ear beads; if it is said to turn black like clouds when ripe, it is incorrect. Another annotation states: In Jiangdong, people take the stems and leaves in summer to make porridge, which effectively resolves heat toxicity.
[Baihao]
Taste is sweet, nature is neutral, non-toxic. It primarily treats evil qi in the five zang organs, bi-syndrome caused by wind-cold-dampness, tonifies the middle and replenishes Qi, promotes hair growth and darkens hair, treats a sensation of emptiness in the heart (Xinxuan), and frequent hunger despite low food intake. Long-term consumption makes the body light, improves hearing and vision, and delays aging. Grows in the rivers and marshes of Zhongshan. Harvested in February.
Tao Hongjing stated: There are many types of Artemisia, yet the common name Baihao is rarely heard. Since physicians do not use it, no one recognizes it anymore. Given its excellent therapeutic effects, further investigation is warranted. The Fushi Qiqin San states: White rabbits eating it become immortal. This method is similar to that of Anxi Zi mentioned earlier. The Tang Bencao annotation states: The Erya says: Fan (pronounced "fan"), Po (pronounced "po") Hao. This is Baihao. Its leaves are coarser than Qinghao, whiter than other Artemisias from sprouting to withering, resembling fine mugwort (Xi Ai), and found everywhere. Another annotation states: Leaves resemble mugwort, covered with white coarse hairs, feeling rough; commonly called Penghao. Ministers Yu Xi et al., according to the Erya Shu, state: Penghao can be made into pickles, hence the Shi Jing commentary mentions using bean paste with Fan pickles. Lu Ji stated: Among all mugworts, the white ones are called Po Hao. Current Baihao emerges in early spring and remains fragrant and delicious until autumn. It can be eaten raw or steamed. Also known as Youhu; people in Beihai call it Pangbo. Thus, the Da Dai Li Xia Xiaozhuan states: Fan is Youhu. Youhu is Pangbo. Meng Shen stated: Baihao is cold. In early spring, before other grasses grow, this herb appears first. Crushing it for juice removes heat-yellow and heart pain. Leaves mixed with vinegar as pickles are very beneficial. Dried leaves powdered and taken with rice water (one spoon) on an empty stomach treat acute watery dysentery in summer. Seeds treat ghost qi; taken with wine powder, they are effective. Ash from burning is decocted to treat strangury (Linli).
The Tujing states: Baihao is Penghao. Grows in rivers and marshes of Zhongshan, now found everywhere. Emerges earliest in spring, resembling Qinghao but with coarser leaves, covered with white coarse hairs, whiter than other Artemisias from sprouting to withering, resembling fine mugwort. Harvested in February. This corresponds to the Fan (pronounced "fan") and Po (pronounced "po") Hao mentioned in the Erya. The Shu explains: Penghao can be made into pickles. Hence, the Shi Jing commentary mentions using bean paste with Fan pickles. Lu Ji stated: Among all mugworts, the white ones are called Po Hao. Current Baihao emerges in early spring and remains fragrant and delicious until autumn; it can be eaten raw or steamed. Also known as Youhu; people in Beihai call it Pangbo. Thus, the Da Dai Li Xia Xiaozheng states: Fan is Youhu. Youhu is Pangbo. Ancients used this herb as pickles. Tang dynasty's Meng Shen also stated: Eat raw with vinegar. Now people only eat Louhao and no longer eat this. Some suspect this Hao is Louhao. But Meng Shen separately listed Louhao with different descriptions, clearly indicating two distinct plants, revealing differences in ancient and modern dietary habits. Furthermore, in Jiezhou, Baihao is treated as Yinchen Hao; seedlings and leaves are similar, but for medicinal use, it may not be suitable. Regarding Artemisia varieties: The Erya states: Related to Fan, there is Qiuhao. It says that in spring, each has specific names, but in autumn, when mature, they are all generally called Hao. In the Middle Grade, there is Maxianhao, described as growing in Nanyang rivers and marshes, leaves resembling Leonurus japonicus (Yimucao), flowers red and white, bearing fruit in August and September, called Huma in valleys, also named Maxinhao. This refers to "Fei E Yi Fangwei" in the Shi Jing Xiao Ya. Lu Ji stated: Wei is Mu Hao. Mu Hao is Mu (qian ren qie). Sprouts in March, flowers in July, resembling hemp flowers but purple-red, forms pods in August, pods resemble small pea pods, sharp and long, also named Maxinhao. Guo Pu's annotation on the Erya: Wei is Mu, referring to those without seeds. Lu Ji says they have seeds; the two theories differ slightly. Currently, the one with seeds should be considered correct. In the Lower Grade, there is Jiaohao, described as leaves resembling Baihao, flowers like Dianthus superbus (Qumai), red and attractive, seeds like Myrtus communis (Wangbuliuxing), black and pod-shaped, harvested in July and August. There are also Yinchen Hao and Caohao, detailed in subsequent entries. Baihao and Maxinhao are frequently used in ancient formulas to treat leprosy-like diseases (Laiji). The Shenshi Fang states: Take ten bundles of Bai Ai Hao, size of a sheng vessel, boil to extract juice, add yeast and rice as in brewing wine, wait until ripe, and drink slowly. For any severe disease covering the whole body with sores on face and eyes, it can be drunk. Additionally, take Maxinhao powder, one fangcun bi per dose, three times daily. If redness worsens, continue for one year for complete recovery. Jiaohao is rarely used in medical prescriptions.
