秦艽（“胶”字）
味苦、辛，性平或微温，无毒。主治寒热邪气，寒湿风痹，肢体关节疼痛，通利水道，小便通畅，治疗风病不分新旧，全身拘挛急迫。生于飞乌山谷。二月、八月采集根部，晒干。（菖蒲为其使药。）
陶隐居说：飞乌或许是地名，现在出产于甘松、龙洞、蚕陵的地方，以根长大、色黄白为佳。根部都呈现罗纹状交错，中间多夹杂泥土，使用时需煮熟后破开去除泥土。医家多写作“秦胶”字，与独活常配合用于治疗风病，道家则不需要这样用。《唐本草》注说：现在出产于泾州、原州、歧州的品质优良。原本写作“札”，或者写作“纠”，写作“胶”。正字应为“艽”。臣禹锡等人谨按《药性论》说：秦艽，解米脂，人吃谷物不能充饥悦泽，畏牛乳。点服之，利大小便。瘥五种黄病，解酒毒，去头风。萧炳说：《本经》名秦瓜，世人用来治疗酒黄、黄疸大效。日华子说：味苦，冷。主传尸，骨蒸，治疳及时气。又名秦瓜，罗纹者佳。
图经曰：秦艽，生飞乌山谷，今河陕州军多有之。根土黄色，而相交纠，长一尺以来，粗细不等。枝秆高五、六寸，叶婆娑连茎梗，俱青色，如莴苣叶。六月中开花，紫色，似葛花，当月结子。每于春秋采根，阴干。《正元广利方》疗黄，心烦热，口干，皮肉皆黄。以秦艽十二分，牛乳一大升，同煮，取七合去滓，分温再服，瘥。此方出于许仁则。又崔元亮《集验方》：凡发背疑似者，须便服秦艽牛乳煎，当得快利三、五行，即瘥。法并同此。又治黄方，用秦艽一大两细锉，作两贴子，以上好酒一升，每贴半升，酒绞，取汁，去滓，空腹分两服。或利便止，就中好酒人易治。凡黄有数种：伤酒曰酒黄；夜食误餐鼠粪亦作黄；因劳发黄，多痰涕，目有赤脉，日益憔悴，或面赤，恶心者是。元亮用之，及治人皆得力极效。秦艽须用新好罗纹者。
雷公云：凡使，秦并艽，须于脚文处认取：左文列为秦，即治疾。艽，即发香港脚。凡用秦，先以布拭上黄肉毛尽，然后用还元汤浸一宿，至明出，日干用。圣惠方：治伤寒，心神热躁，口干烦渴。秦艽一两，去苗细锉，以牛乳一大盏，煎至六分，去滓，不计时候，分温二服。又方：治小便难，腹满闷，不急疗之杀人。用秦艽一两去苗，以水一大盏，煎取七分，去滓，每于食后，分为二服。孙真人治黄胆，皮肤、眼睛如金色，小便赤。取秦艽五两，牛乳三升，煮取一升，去滓，纳芒硝一两，服。
Qinjiao (Character "Jiao")
Bitter, pungent, neutral or slightly warm in nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats pathogenic factors of chills and fever, wind-damp-bi syndrome, pain in limbs and joints, promotes water passage, facilitates urination, treats wind diseases regardless of whether they are new or chronic, and alleviates whole-body spasms and tightness. Grows in the valleys of Feiwu. Roots are harvested in the second and eighth months and dried in the sun. (Changpu is its guiding herb.)
Tao Hongjing states: Feiwu may be a place name. Currently, herbs from Gansong, Longdong, and Canling are available; those with long roots that are yellowish-white are considered superior. The roots all exhibit a cross-hatched pattern resembling silk threads, often containing soil in the center. They must be cooked thoroughly, broken open, and cleaned to remove the soil. Medical practitioners often write it as "Qin Jiao" (using the character for glue), which is commonly used together with Duhuo to treat wind diseases, whereas Daoist practitioners do not require this combination. The *Tang Bencao* annotation states: Those produced in Jingzhou, Yuanzhou, and Qizhou are of good quality. It was originally written as "Zha," or sometimes as "Jiu" or "Jiao." The correct character is "Qiu." Minister Yuxi and others carefully note according to *Yaoxing Lun*: Qinjiao resolves millet grease; if people consume grains but lack nourishment and vitality, they fear cow's milk. Taking it point-wise promotes bowel movements and urination. It cures five types of jaundice, resolves alcohol toxicity, and eliminates head wind. Xiao Bing states: In the *Shennong Benjing*, it was named "Qin Gua." People use it with great efficacy to treat alcohol-induced jaundice and icterus. Ri Huazi states: Bitter, cold. It primarily treats consumption (transmitted corpse disease), bone-steaming heat, treats childhood malnutrition (gan syndrome) and seasonal febrile diseases. It is also known as "Qin Gua"; those with a cross-hatched pattern are superior.
The *Tu Jing* states: Qinjiao grows in the valleys of Feiwu. It is now abundant in Hezhou and Shanzhou military regions. The root is earthy yellow, interwoven and crossed, about one chi long, varying in thickness. The stems are five or six cun high. The leaves are luxuriant and connected to the stem, all green, resembling lettuce leaves. It flowers in purple in the sixth month, similar to kudzu flowers, and bears fruit in the same month. Roots are harvested in spring and autumn and dried in the shade. The *Zhengyuan Guangli Fang* treats jaundice with mental restlessness, heat, dry mouth, and yellowing of skin and flesh. Using 12 fen of Qinjiao and one large sheng of cow's milk, boil them together until seven he remain, strain, and take warm in two doses. This prescription comes from Xu Renze. Additionally, Cui Yuanliang's *Jiyan Fang*: For any suspected cases of back carbuncle, one should immediately take Qinjiao decocted with cow's milk. When rapid diarrhea of three to five stools occurs, the condition will resolve. The method is the same as above. Another prescription for treating jaundice uses one da liang of finely chopped Qinjiao, divided into two portions. With one sheng of fine wine, half a sheng per portion, squeeze out the juice, strain, and take on an empty stomach in two doses. If bowel movements cease, it is easier to treat among those who drink wine well. There are several types of jaundice: jaundice caused by alcohol injury is called alcohol jaundice; eating rat feces by mistake at night can also cause jaundice; jaundice caused by overwork presents with excessive phlegm and nasal discharge, red veins in the eyes, increasing emaciation, or red face and nausea. Cui Yuanliang's use of it, and its application in treating people, yields extremely effective results. Qinjiao must be new and of good quality with a cross-hatched pattern.
Lei Gong states: Whenever using Qinjiao, one must recognize it by the patterns at the base: if the left pattern is listed as "Qin," it treats diseases. If it is "Jiao," it causes gout. Whenever using Qinjiao, first wipe off all the yellow hairy skin with cloth, then soak it in Huanyuan Decoction overnight. Take it out the next morning and dry it in the sun before use. The *Shenghui Fang*: Treats taiyang cold damage with mental heat and irritability, dry mouth, and vexatious thirst. One liang of Qinjiao, with buds removed and finely chopped, is decocted with one large zhan of cow's milk until reduced to six parts. Strain, and take warm in two doses at any time. Another prescription: Treats difficult urination and abdominal fullness/stuffiness; if not treated urgently, it can be fatal. Use one liang of Qinjiao with buds removed, decoct with one large zhan of water until reduced to seven parts. Strain, and divide into two doses after meals. Sun Simiao treats icterus where the skin and eyes are golden-yellow and urine is red. Take five liang of Qinjiao and three sheng of cow's milk, boil until one sheng remains. Strain, add one liang of Mangxiao (Mirabilite), and take.
