青琅玕
味辛,性平,无毒。主治身体瘙痒、火疮、痈伤、白秃(头部生癣)、疥瘙、死肌(坏死的肌肉组织),以及侵蚀蔓延于皮肤中的病症。煮炼后服用,能升发阴气,还可以用来炼制丹药。又名石珠,又名青珠。产于蜀郡平泽。采集没有固定时间。(能杀锡毒,与水银配合使用效果良好,畏惧鸡骨。)
陶隐居说:这就是《蜀都赋》中所说的“青珠黄环”。黄环其实是草,如果因为名字相似就认为它们是同类,那就大错特错了。琅玕也是昆仑山上的树名,同时也是《九真经》中提到的大丹的名字。这种石头现在也没有用处,只用来治疗手足逆胪(音闾)。至于将其化为丹药的方法,我没有确切见过。唐本注说:琅玕有好几种颜色,属于琉璃一类,是火齐宝。而且琅玕有五种颜色,其中青色入药效果最好。现在出产于髓州以西的乌白蛮地区以及于阗国。臣禹锡等人谨按陈藏器说:琉璃,主治身体发热、眼睛发红,用水浸泡变冷后外敷。《韵集》说:它是火齐珠。《南州异物志》说:琉璃本来是石头,用自然灰处理它可以制成器皿,车渠、玛瑙都属于玉石类,是西域国家的珍贵宝物。《佛经》说:七宝是指金、银、琉璃、车渠、玛瑙、玻璃、真珠。也有人说包括珊瑚、琥珀。现在玛瑙碗上雕刻成奇特工艺的作品,都是用自然灰和昆吾刀加工的,自然灰,现在有人用牛皮胶假冒,这是不对的。日华子说:玻璃,性冷,无毒。能安心,止惊悸,明目,磨除翳障。
图经说:青琅玕,产于蜀郡平泽。苏恭注说:琅玕有好几种,属于琉璃一类,是火齐宝。琅玕有五色,其中青色入药效果最好,出产于随州以西的乌白蛮地区以及于阗国。现在秘书省中有《异鱼图》记载,琅玕呈青色,生长在海中,说是海人在海底用网挂到的,刚出水时是红色,久了变成青黑色,枝柯像珊瑚但上面有孔窍像虫蛀,敲击时有金石之声,这与珊瑚相似。说法不同,人们都不能识别。谨按《尚书·禹贡》:雍州的贡品有球琳琅玕。《尔雅》说:西北方的美景,有昆仑墟的球琳琅玕。孔安国、郭璞都认为这是像珠子的石头。而《山海经》说:昆仑山有琅玕,如果是美丽的石头,明亮晶莹像珠子的颜色,但它的形状是丛生直立。大概古人把美丽的石头多称为珠。《广雅》说琉璃、珊瑚都称为珠就是这样。所以《本经》称它一名为青珠。而左太冲《蜀都赋》说:青珠黄环。黄环是树木,引用它并列提及,也是说它美如珠,但本质确实是木。又如上面所说,都出产于西北山中,而现在图谱却说在海里得到。大概是珍奇之物,山海沟谷都有出产。现在的医方家中也因为难得而很少使用。
唐本补充:味甘。
衍义说:青琅玕,《书》说:三危已经定居。三危,是西边的山,其贡品只有球琳琅玕。孔颖达认为琅玕是像玉的石头。《新书》也说三苗、西戎。《西域记》说:天竺国正出产这种物品。陶隐居认为是树木,名字叫大丹名。既然叫做大丹的名字,那么《本经》怎么可以说煮炼服用。又说:可以化为丹。陶隐居不应该远引,这不是这里的琅玕。《唐本》注说:是琉璃一类。而且琉璃是火烧成的东西,琅玕又不是火烧成的。《经》说:生于蜀郡平泽,怎么能说同类呢,这种说法越来越远。而且《佛经》所说的琉璃,正如鬼谷珠之类,是火烧成的东西,现在人绝对不再使用。
Qinglanggan (Green Turquoise/Lapis Lazuli)
Pungent in flavor, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats body pruritus (itching), fire sores, carbuncle injuries, white tinea capitis (scalp ringworm), scabies and itching, necrotic muscle tissue, and erosive conditions spreading within the skin. After boiling and refining, it can be ingested to raise Yin Qi (the nourishing and cooling aspect of vital energy) and can also be used to refine elixirs. Also known as Shizhu (Stone Pearl) or Qingzhu (Green Pearl). Grows in Pingze, Shu Commandery. Can be harvested at any time. (Neutralizes tin toxicity; works well when combined with Mercury(II) Sulfide [Shuiyin]; adverse reaction with Chicken Bone.)
Tao Hongjing states: This refers to "Qingzhu Huanghuan" mentioned in the *Shudu Fu*. Huanghuan is actually a herb; if one assumes they are the same species merely due to similar naming, that would be a gross error. Langgan is also the name of a tree on Mount Kunlun, and furthermore, it is the name of a Great Elixir in the *Jiuzhen Jing*. This stone is currently of no use, except for treating Niandu (cold extremities/retrograde limb condition). Regarding the method of transforming it into an elixir, I have not seen it confirmed. The *Tang Ben Cao* commentary notes: Langgan comes in several colors and belongs to the category of Liuli (glazed pottery/glass), which is a Huoqi treasure. Among the five colors of Langgan, the green variety is superior for medicinal use. It is currently produced in the Wubai Man regions west of Sui Province and in the Kingdom of Khotan. Minister Yuxi et al., according to Chen Cangqi, state: Liuli primarily treats body heat and red eyes; soak it in water until cold and apply as a compress. The *Yunji* states: It is a Huoqi pearl. The *Nanzhou Yiwu Zhi* states: Liuli was originally stone; treated with natural ash, it can be made into vessels. Chequ (Conch Shell), Manao (Agate), and Yushi (Jade) are all categories of stone; these are precious treasures of Western countries. The *Buddhist Sutras* state: The Seven Treasures refer to Gold, Silver, Liuli, Chequ, Manao, Boluo (Glass), and Zhenzhu (Pearl). Some say Coral and Hupo (Amber). Currently, intricate carvings on Agate bowls are processed using natural ash and Kunwu knives. Natural ash is sometimes counterfeited today with ox-hide glue, which is incorrect. Rihua Zi states: Boluo (Glass) is cold in nature and non-toxic. It calms the mind, stops palpitations and fright, brightens the eyes, and removes ocular nebulae (cataracts/opacities).
The *Tujing* states: Qinglanggan grows in Pingze, Shu Commandery. Su Gong’s commentary notes: Langgan has several varieties and belongs to the category of Liuli, a Huoqi treasure. Among the five colors of Langgan, the green variety is superior for medicinal use; it is produced in the Wubai Man regions west of Sui Province and in the Kingdom of Khotan. Currently, the *Yiyu Tu* held in the Secretariat records that Langgan is green and grows in the sea. It is said that sea divers retrieve it from the seabed using nets; initially red upon emerging from the water, it turns dark blue-black over time. Its branches resemble coral but possess pores like insect-bored wood, and it produces a metallic sound when struck, resembling coral. These accounts differ, and people cannot identify it definitively. According to the *Book of Documents · Tribute of Yu*: The tribute of Yongzhou includes Qiu, Lin, and Langgan. The *Erya* states: The beauty of the northwest lies in the Qiu, Lin, and Langgan of Mount Kunlun ruins. Kong Anguo and Guo Pu both considered it a stone resembling pearls. However, the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* states: There is Langgan on Mount Kunlun. If it is indeed a beautiful stone, bright and lustrous like a pearl, its form is upright and clustered. Generally, ancients referred to many beautiful stones as pearls. The *Guangya* states that Liuli and Coral are also called pearls, which explains this. Thus, the *Benjing* lists one of its names as Qingzhu. Zuo Taichong’s *Shudu Fu* says: "Qingzhu Huanghuan." Huanghuan is a tree; citing it alongside implies its beauty resembles a pearl, though its substance is truly wood. As mentioned above, these originate from mountains in the northwest, whereas current illustrations claim they are obtained from the sea. Presumably, rare treasures are produced in mountains, seas, valleys, and plains alike. Physicians today rarely use it due to its scarcity.
*Tang Ben* supplement: Sweet in flavor.
*Yanyi* states: Qinglanggan. The *Book of Documents* says: Sanwei is settled. Sanwei is a mountain in the western frontier; its tribute consists only of Qiu, Lin, and Langgan. Kong Yingda considered Langgan to be a stone resembling jade. The *Xinshu* also mentions Sanmiao and Xirong. The *Western Regions Record* states: Tianzhu (India) is the primary producer of this item. Tao Hongjing claimed it was a tree named after a Great Elixir. Since it is named after a Great Elixir, how could the *Benjing* state it should be boiled and ingested? It further says it can be transformed into an elixir. Tao Hongjing’s distant reference is inappropriate; this is not the Langgan in question. The *Tang Ben* commentary states it is a type of Liuli. Moreover, Liuli is fired by fire, whereas Langgan is not fired. The *Classic* states it grows in Pingze, Shu Commandery; how can it be considered the same category? This theory diverges even further. Furthermore, the Liuli mentioned in Buddhist sutras, similar to Gui Gu Zhu, is a fired product, which is absolutely not used by people today.
