【本经上品】
【气味】味咸，性平，无毒。
【主治】主要治疗恶疮，腐蚀五种痔疮。
【核析】曰：文蛤，产于东海、登州莱州、沧州等地，生长在海沙急流之处。大的直径二三寸，小的五七分，形状像海蛤及紫贝，唯独表面有文采斑斓的色彩，错落有致，十分可爱。采集没有固定时间。炮制方法：每用二两，用米浆水煮一个时辰（约两小时），再用枸杞根皮、侧柏叶各二两，煮一个时辰。捣碎使用，药效更加显著。
【疏证】曰：文蛤，生于海边湍急的沙石之地，由湿气滋生而成。湿与合相感，所以虫体双瓣闭合；外表色彩斑斓，所以又名文蛤。两瓣包裹闭合，中间含有灵液，可开可合，流动而不满溢，所以能主治火气亢盛浸淫而腐蚀的疮疡，以及水气郁结肠道导致的五种痔疮。至于津液枯竭，火失炎上，形体与功能两竭，肾水（坎）化生停止的情况，其功效迅速如影随形。
【本经上品】
【气味】味辛，性温，无毒。
【主治】主要治疗心腹疝气，腹痛，益气，治疗痈疽，小儿三岁不能行走，疽疮阴蚀。
【核析】曰：五加生长在汉中及冤句，江淮、湖南各州郡，汴京、北地都有出产。宿根再次萌发，春季苗丛生。茎类似藤葛，高六七尺或一丈多，枝茎交错，间或有刺，因此名叫白刺。每片叶子有五枚，或三枚、五枚的为佳，三枚的也可以使用。如果三和五相互参配，三五相间而变化产生，所以四枚叶子的不堪使用。叶子类似蔷薇，边缘有锯齿。四月开花白色，果实青色，六月果实转黑，受霜后红紫相间，文采斑斓，因此名叫文章草。十月采集根部，皮黄黑色，肉白色，内部木质坚硬强劲，因此名叫本骨。南方产的五加根类似枸杞木皮，宽阔浓密轻脆，芬芳袭人，入药或泡酒最好。大概树木的生命在于皮，草本植物提到皮，是因为五加的精华在于根皮。北方产的五加类似秦木、柏木，树皮平直如板，颜色白，无气味，治疗风痛，其余没有用处。王君说：五加是五车星的精魂。大概水对应五湖，人对应五德，方位对应五方，物体对应五车星。所以青色的精气进入茎，就有东方的液汁；白色的气进入节，就有西方的津液；红色的气进入花，就有南方的光耀；黑色的精气进入根，就有北方的粘滞；黄色的烟进入皮，就有戊己（中央土）的灵性。五种神灵镇守生命，相互转化育成。服用它的人成为真仙，服药的人返老还童。因此名叫金铅、金液、神丹，这是副名。铅讹传为盐是错误的。
【疏证】曰：“五”字从“二”，从“乂”，象征天地之间，阴阳交互之中，“乂”即为五。大概天数五，地数五，五位相得而各有配合，这就是“加”。确实是五行星精所化，牵引重物致远，以救济不通畅，何愁痈疽不愈，小儿三岁不能行走，筋不转动，脉不摇动，这是根据赋予的形态和功能来命名的。确实进入五脏，偏驻又在厥阴之肝，肝藏筋膜之气。因此能辅助厥阴肝的形体，运行厥阴肝的功能，消除厥阴肝的疾病，其功效特别显著。一名五嘉，合柏树酿酒，酉时饮用最佳。行酒势，走血脉，通关津，达四街，通彻九窍，布散二百六十五个关节，开启八万四千毛孔，迅速疾行，没有能超过它的。至于追风作使，辟寒惩热，将湿热变为清凉地，驱除濡湿达到高洁境界，这是它的专门用途。
[Shangpin (Superior Category) of the Classic of Materia Medica]
[Flavor and Nature] Salty, neutral, non-toxic.
[Indications] Primarily treats malignant sores and erodes the five types of hemorrhoids.
[Analysis] It is said: Wen Ge (Clam Shell, *Meretrix meretrix*) grows in the East Sea, Dengzhou Laizhou, Cangzhou, etc., in places with sea sand and rapid currents. The large ones are two to three inches in diameter, the small ones are five to seven fen. Their shape resembles Hai Ge (Seashell, *Venerupis philippinarum*) and Zi Bei (Purple Cowrie), but uniquely displays colorful patterns on the surface, intricate and lovely. There is no fixed time for harvesting. Processing method: Use two liang, boil in rice wash water for one fu shi (approx. 2 hours), then boil again with two liang each of Gouqi Genpi (Cortex Lycii Radicis) and Ce Baiye (Folium Platycladi) for one fu shi. Pound and use; the efficacy becomes stronger.
[Commentary] It is said: Wen Ge grows in the turbulent sandy shores of the sea, generated by dampness. Dampness combines with closure, hence the shell closes in two halves; the surface is colorful, hence also named Wen Ge. Two valves enclose and hold spiritual fluid, capable of opening and closing, flowing yet not overflowing. Therefore, it primarily treats sores corroded by excessive fire invading and dripping, and five types of hemorrhoids caused by water stagnation in the intestines. In cases where water essence is exhausted, fire loses its flaming nature, both form and function are depleted, and the transformation of Kan (Kidney/Water) ceases, its power is swift as an echo or shadow.
[Shangpin (Superior Category) of the Classic of Materia Medica]
[Flavor and Nature] Pungent, warm, non-toxic.
[Indications] Primarily treats heart and abdominal hernia qi, abdominal pain, tonifies qi, treats abscesses, children unable to walk at age three, and malignant sores with yin erosion.
[Analysis] It is said: Wu Jia (Acanthopanacis Cortex) grows in Hanzhong and Yuanju, and in various prefectures of Jianghuai and Hunan, as well as Bianjing and Beidi. The perennial roots sprout again, with seedlings growing densely in spring. The stems resemble vines, reaching six or seven chi or over a zhang in height. Branches and stems intertwine, occasionally having thorns, hence named Bai Ci (White Thorn). Each leaf cluster has five leaves, or three leaves; those with five or three are best, though three are also usable. If three and five intermingle, generating change through their combination, therefore those with four leaves are unsuitable. Leaves resemble Rosa multiflora, with serrated edges. Flowers are white in April, fruits are green, turning black in June; after frost, they appear red and purple mixed, colorful, hence named Wenzhang Cao (Patterned Grass). Roots are harvested in October; the bark is yellow-black, the flesh white, the inner wood hard and strong, hence named Ben Gu (Root Bone). Those from southern regions have roots resembling Cortex Lycii, broad, dense, light, crisp, and fragrant; best for medicinal use or making wine. Generally, the life of trees lies in the bark; mentioning bark for herbs indicates that the essence of Wu Jia lies in the root bark. Those from northern regions resemble Qin Mu and Bo Mu (Juniper/Cypress); the bark is flat like boards, white in color, odorless; used for treating wind-pain, otherwise useless. Master Wang said: Wu Jia is the spirit essence of the Five Chariots star. Water corresponds to the Five Lakes, humans to the Five Virtues, positions to the Five Directions, and objects to the Five Chariots. Thus, blue essence enters the stem, providing liquid of the East; white qi enters the nodes, providing fluid of the West; red qi enters the flowers, providing light of the South; black essence enters the roots, providing viscosity of the North; yellow smoke enters the bark, providing the spirituality of Wu-Ji (Central Earth). The five spirits guard life, transforming and nurturing each other. Those who ingest it become true immortals; those who take it return to infancy. Hence named Jin Qian (Golden Lead), Jin Ye (Golden Liquid), Shen Dan (Divine Elixir), which are secondary names. Mistaking lead for salt is erroneous.
[Commentary] "Wu" (Five) consists of "Er" (Two) and "Yi" (Cross), symbolizing between Heaven and Earth, amidst the mutual intersection of Yang and Yin; "Yi" represents five. Indeed, the number of Heaven is five, the number of Earth is five; when the five positions interact and combine, this constitutes "Jia" (Add/Plus). It is truly transformed from the spirit essences of the Five Elements' stars, pulling heavy loads and traveling long distances to relieve blockages. How could one worry about not curing abscesses? For children unable to walk at age three, where tendons do not rotate and pulses do not sway, this is named according to the endowed form and function. It indeed enters the Five Viscera, but specifically resides in the Jueyin Liver. The Liver stores the qi of tendons and membranes. Therefore, it assists the substance of the Jueyin Liver, executes the function of the Jueyin Liver, and eliminates diseases of the Jueyin Liver, with particularly remarkable efficacy. Also named Wu Jia; fermented with Cypress, it is excellent when consumed at You hour (5-7 PM). It promotes the movement of wine, travels through blood vessels, opens passageways, reaches the Four Streets, penetrates the Nine Orifices, distributes through 265 joints, opens 84,000 pores. In terms of speed and agility, nothing surpasses it. As for commanding wind-dispelling agents, repelling cold and punishing heat, transforming damp-heat into cool grounds, and driving away dampness to achieve high purity, these are its specialized functions.
