纯得土之冲气，兼感天之微阳以生，味甘，气温，无毒。入足太阴、阳明经。《经
》曰∶里不足者以甘补之，形不足者温之以
气。甘能补中，温能益气，甘温能补脾胃，而生津液，则十二经脉自通，九窍利，四肢
和也。正气足则神自安。故主心腹邪气，心下悬急，脾得补则气力强，肠胃清故主身中
不足及肠 ，甘能解毒，故主和百药，脾胃足，气血充，后天生气借此而盈溢，故日久
服轻身也。

梨在秋季成熟，其花和果实颜色皆白，是否是因为它获得了西方属金的阴气呢？梨的味道甘甜略带酸味，性质寒凉且无毒。将梨与萝卜一起存放收藏，可以防止腐烂变质。梨归入手太阴肺经和足阳明胃经。它能主治胸中痞闷堵塞、热邪结聚，治疗外感热邪引起的中风失语，解除丹石类药物引发的热气及惊邪，通利大小便，止渴，外用贴敷可治疗烫伤和火伤疮口，内服能止住因热引起的咳嗽痰多，滋润肺部、消除痰液，降火除热。那些饮食肥甘厚味、浓烈酒酿、放纵无节制的人，往往容易生出痰火，导致痈疽或突然中风等病患，只要经常食用梨，就能使重病转轻，在未发病前就将其消解于无形。但是，多吃梨会损伤脾胃阳气（寒中），因为它的性质过于寒凉滑利。哺乳期妇女若有血瘀症状则不可食用，因为血液遇到寒凉就会凝结，从而形成瘀血病症。
若用梨汁配合人乳、甘蔗浆、芦根汁、童便（儿童尿液）、竹沥，可以治疗血液亏少、逐渐发展为噎膈（吞咽困难）以及突发咳嗽。取上好的梨一个，去核捣烂取汁一碗，加入花椒四十粒，煮沸一次后滤去药渣，再加入黑饴糖一大两，待其融化后，细细含咽，症状即可立即平定。对于赤白痢疾、日夜腹痛者，取一个好梨，捣烂绞取汁液，将一钱黄连切片浸泡在梨汁中，取其生汁，睡前滴入鼻孔点之。对于反胃、食物无法下咽的情况，取一个大悉尼梨，将十五粒丁香刺入梨内，用湿纸包裹四五层，煨烤至热，去掉丁香后食用。
梨，向外能宣散风气，向内能涤荡狂躁烦乱。生吃可以清泻六腑的热邪，熟吃可以滋养五脏的阴液。它能解酒病，除口渴，止咳嗽，消除痰液，去除客热及心经之热，清除肺脏的烦热，滋润干燥的咽喉，化解胸膈的结热。但梨性流利而气寒，多吃会扰动脾气，使人脾胃受寒导致腹泻。产妇和体虚之人，都应严格禁忌食用。
【主治】（参考《痘疹合参》）：去除客热、心烦、肺热，生津止渴，通利下行。
大枣纯粹得自土气的冲和之气，又兼感天之微阳而生，味道甘甜，性质温平，无毒。归入足太阴脾经和足阳明胃经。《内经》说：“里气不足的，用甘味来补益；形体虚弱的，用温性来益气。”甘味能补益中焦，温性能益气，甘温结合能补益脾胃，化生津液，这样十二经脉自然通畅，九窍得利，四肢调和。正气充足则神志自然安宁。所以大枣主治心腹部的邪气，心下部悬急不适，脾得到补益则气力增强，肠胃清净，故主治身体虚弱不足及肠鸣泄泻。甘味能解毒，所以大枣能调和各种药物。脾胃充足，气血充盈，后天之本的生命能量借此而盈溢，所以长期服用能使身体轻盈。
大枣善于调和各种药物，补助各条经脉，味道浓郁甘甜温厚。专走脾经的血分，是补中益气的必需品。它能滋培脾土，润养心肺，调和营卫，缓养阴血，美容悦色，通利九窍，调和脾胃，具有生津止泻的功效；润养肺经，有助脉道强健、精神振奋的作用。凡是补益五脏的药物，如果用枣肉捣丸服用，患有中满胀满症的人忌服。
【主治】（参考《痘疹合参》）：安和中焦，滋养脾胃，助益十二经脉，通利九窍，平调胃气，补益少气，生津液，畅达营卫，调和药性，在痘疹灌浆期适宜使用。但小儿多吃会形成疳积，因为过食甘味会损伤脾胃；久食会伤害牙齿，因为牙齿是肾之余，五行中土克水。
大枣同生姜一起并用时，专门运行脾胃的津液以调和营卫，兼以激发脾胃升腾之气以驱散邪气。红枣的功效与大枣相仿，但力量稍差，不及大枣。
Pear matures in autumn, its flowers and fruits are all white; did it obtain the Yin Qi of the West (Metal element)? Its taste is sweet with a slight sourness, its nature is cold and non-toxic. When stored together with radish, it does not rot or decay. It enters the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian and Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. It mainly treats chest fullness, obstruction, and heat accumulation; cures aphasia caused by exogenous heat and stroke; resolves the hot qi and frightful evil caused by Dushi (mineral drugs); promotes urination and defecation; relieves thirst; when applied externally, it treats burns and scalds; internally, it stops hot coughs and phlegm, moistens the lungs, eliminates phlegm, descends fire, and removes heat. Those who consume rich foods, strong wines, and live without restraint often develop phlegm-fire, carbuncles, and sudden stroke. Regular consumption of pears can turn severe conditions into mild ones and eliminate diseases before they arise. However, excessive consumption damages the Spleen and Stomach due to its overly cold and purgative nature. Nursing mothers with blood stasis should not eat pears, as blood coagulates when exposed to cold, leading to stasis pathology.
To treat blood deficiency gradually progressing to dysphagia (Yige) or sudden cough, mix pear juice with human milk, sugarcane syrup, reed rhizome juice, child's urine, and bamboo sap. Take one good pear, remove the core, crush and extract one bowl of juice. Add 40 grains of Sichuan pepper, boil once, strain, add one tael of dark maltose, dissolve completely, and slowly swallow while holding in the mouth for immediate relief. For red and white dysentery with day-and-night abdominal pain, take one good pear, crush and extract juice. Slice one qian of Coptis chinensis Rhizoma (Huanglian), soak in the juice, extract the raw juice, and instill into the nostrils while lying down. For regurgitation where food cannot pass down, take one large Sydney pear, insert 15 cloves (Dingxiang) into the pear, wrap in wet paper (four to five layers), bake until hot, remove the cloves, and eat the pear.
Pear externally disperses wind-qi and internally clears manic烦躁 (restlessness). Raw pear clears heat from the Six Fu Organs; cooked pear nourishes Yin of the Five Zang Organs. It resolves alcohol intoxication, relieves thirst, stops cough, eliminates phlegm, removes exogenous heat and Heart-Meridian heat, clears irritability and lung heat, moistens dry throat, and resolves heat knot in the chest and diaphragm. However, its nature is slippery and cold; excessive consumption disturbs the Spleen, causing cold injury and diarrhea. Contraindicated for postpartum women and those with deficiency.
[Main Indications] (Referencing *Douzhen He Can*): Clears exogenous heat, irritability, and lung heat; generates fluids, promotes smooth flow and downward movement.
Jujube is purely derived from the harmonious Qi of Earth, combined with the subtle Yang Qi of Heaven. Its taste is sweet, nature is warm, and it is non-toxic. It enters the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian and Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. The *Classic* states: "For insufficiency within, use sweet to tonify; for insufficiency of form, use warm to benefit Qi." Sweet flavor tonifies the Middle Jiao; warm nature benefits Qi. Sweet and warm together tonify the Spleen and Stomach, generate body fluids, thereby unblocking the Twelve Meridians, benefiting the Nine Orifices, and harmonizing the four limbs. When Righteous Qi is sufficient, the Spirit remains peaceful. Thus, jujube treats evil Qi in the heart and abdomen, urgency under the heart; tonifying the Spleen strengthens physical power; clearing the intestines and stomach treats general weakness and intestinal rumbling/diarrhea. Sweet flavor detoxifies, so jujube harmonizes various herbs. With sufficient Spleen and Stomach, Qi and Blood are abundant, and Post-Heaven Life Essence overflows; thus, long-term use lightens the body.
Jujube excels at harmonizing various herbs and supplementing the meridians. Its rich, sweet, and warm nature specifically travels through the Blood aspect of the Spleen Meridian, making it essential for tonifying the Middle and benefiting Qi. It nourishes Spleen Earth, moistens Lungs and Heart, regulates Ying and Wei, nourishes Yin-Blood, beautifies complexion, unblocks the Nine Orifices, harmonizes Spleen and Stomach, generates fluids, and stops diarrhea. It moistens the Lung Meridian, aids in strengthening pulses and spirit. When used in pills made from jujube flesh for tonifying the Five Zang, it is contraindicated for patients with fullness in the middle Jiao.
[Main Indications] (Referencing *Douzhen He Can*): Calms the Middle, nourishes Spleen and Stomach, assists the Twelve Meridians, unblocks the Nine Orifices, balances Stomach Qi, supplements deficient Qi, generates fluids, smooths Ying and Wei, harmonizes herb properties. Suitable during the pustule-filling stage of smallpox/rash. However, excessive consumption by children causes Gan syndrome (malnutrition due to spleen damage), as excessive sweet damages the Spleen. Long-term consumption damages teeth, as teeth are the surplus of Kidney Water, and Earth controls Water.
When used together with Ginger, jujube specifically circulates Spleen and Stomach fluids to harmonize Ying and Wei, and stimulates the ascending Qi of the Spleen and Stomach to disperse pathogenic factors. Red dates have similar functions but are weaker than jujubes.
