（别录上品）
【气味】甘苦平，无毒。
【主治】主卒 不止，下气，煮汁服。
【核】曰∶襄、汉、吴、蜀、闽、浙江右，南北皆产。木高丈许，四时不凋，肥枝长
叶，阴密青整，叶底白毛如茸，盛冬作花白色，仲夏缀实如弹。杨万里诗云∶大叶耸
长耳，一枝堪满盘；荔枝分与核，金橘却无酸。颇尽其状。修治，每叶湿时重一两者堪用，
粗布拭去白毛，务令极净，否则射人肺，令人咳。以甘草汤洗一遍，用绵再拭。俟干，每一
两，用酥二钱半，涂上炙过用。治胃以姜汁涂炙，治肺以蜜水涂炙亦良。
先人云∶枇杷核下地即生，亦易长，近十年开花结果。性喜高疏，最便山土，秋英冬花，
春实夏熟，核多于肉，叶盛于枝，花繁成蓓。一丛约三五十枚，春半删除十之七，则果大肉
肥。否则无肉且小矣。青时有毛而酸，发白转黄，甘滑可口，望夏布叶，末倍于本，
虽并列园林，同登樽荐，而生荣成美，迥异时芳。处天地闭藏，独露英花，值万物蕃茂，阴
森肥遁。世知叶充药物，未知核仁两瓣，即将成两叶，木之胞阆也。然核与叶较，尤多酝畜
，枝茎皮肉，各有所施，统体专精，他果所不及也。

【核】注释说：襄阳、汉水流域、吴地、蜀地、福建、浙江西部等地，南北皆有出产。枇杷树高约一丈左右，四季不凋谢，枝条肥壮，叶片修长，树荫浓密，色泽青翠整齐，叶背有白色绒毛如茸毛状，深冬时节开白花，仲夏时节结出像弹丸一样的果实。杨万里的诗写道：“大叶耸起如长耳，一枝足以装满盘；荔枝分给它的果核，金橘却无酸味。”这首诗很详尽地描绘了它的形态。炮制方法：每片叶子在湿润时重一两的可以使用，用粗布擦拭掉叶背的白色绒毛，务必擦得非常干净，否则绒毛会刺激肺部，导致咳嗽。再用甘草汤清洗一遍，用绵布再次擦拭。待干燥后，每一两叶子，用半钱酥油涂抹，然后炙烤后使用。治疗胃病时用姜汁涂抹炙烤，治疗肺病时用蜜水涂抹炙烤也很好。
先父曾说：枇杷核落入地下就能生长，也容易长大，近十年开花结果。它喜欢高处疏朗的环境，最适合山土，秋天开花苞，冬天开花，春天结果，夏天成熟，核多于果肉，叶子茂盛超过枝条，花朵繁多形成花蕾。一丛大约有三五十枚，如果在春半时节剪除十分之七，那么果实就会大而肉厚。否则就没有果肉且果实很小。青色时有毛且味道酸，变白转黄后，甘甜滑润可口，远望如同夏布般的叶片，叶尖部分比叶基部宽一倍多。虽然并列种植在园林中，同样登上酒宴的案几，但它生机勃勃成就美好，与世俗的花卉截然不同。处于天地闭藏之时，独自显露英华花朵；正值万物繁茂之际，显得阴森而隐逸退守。世人只知道它的叶子作为药物使用，却不知道它的核仁两瓣，即将长成两片叶子，这是树木孕育生命的胞宫。然而核与叶相比，尤其蕴含积蓄之力，枝、茎、皮、肉，各有所用，整体专精，其他水果所不及。
【】注释说：收割麦子的器具叫做“枇杷”；储藏粮食的官署叫做“胃府”。象征它能进能出的功能。麦冬在夏天茂盛结实，枇杷也是冬天开花夏天结果，这与天文仪器（玑衡）冬天进入夏天出来的规律相反，称其具有闭合和开启的功能。所以进入胃府，主治突然发生的呃逆、呕吐、干呕不止。同时走窜肺经，治疗咳嗽吐痰、气息窒塞的症状，这就是呃逆、呕吐、干呕产生的浊饮，顺着肺脉上行至肺，导致肺气愤怒、肺脏胀满，上下邪气合而为患，相互冲击形成咳嗽，从而产生唾沫和气窒。因为胃主受纳和盛装食物，其腐熟消化和输布精微，必须借助肺气的吸呼作用，互为关键，贯穿始终。强力主治香港脚（足部肿胀疼痛等症），即因浊饮下行所致；疮疡，即因浊饮外溢所致。种种病因证候，都从胃产生。至于肃清肺金，滋润肾水，补益脾土，清心火，镇肝阳，这就是将外出转化为内入。解除暑热，消除烦热，止住消渴，祛除温病，辟除瘟疫，这就是将内入转化为外出。总括来说，就是使该出去的让它出去，该进来的让它进来，使不能开阖的恢复开阖，是调和形体与元气的优良药材。经文说：“阴的五脏，生于五味；阴的五脏，伤于五味。”既然如此，那么枇杷不仅入胃和肺，还并入心、肝、脾、肾五脏。因为胃是五脏六腑经气的起始，又是五脏六腑经气的终结的缘故。
[Recorded in the Upper Grade of Bie Lu]
[Flavor and Nature] Sweet and bitter, neutral in nature, non-toxic.
[Indications] Primarily treats sudden-onset hiccups (eructation), directs Qi downward, taken as a decoction.
[Commentary on the Core] It is stated that: Xiangyang, the Han River basin, Wu region, Shu region, Fujian, and western Zhejiang all produce it in both north and south. The tree grows to about one zhang (approx. 3.3 meters) high, remains evergreen throughout the four seasons, with thick branches and long leaves, dense shade, and neat green foliage. The underside of the leaves has white hairs like down. It bears white flowers in deep winter and fruits resembling pellets in mid-summer. Yang Wanli's poem states: "Large leaves stand up like long ears, one branch can fill a plate; compared to lychee seeds, kumquats lack sourness." This describes its appearance quite fully. Processing: Each leaf weighing one liang when moist is usable. Wipe off the white hairs on the underside with coarse cloth, ensuring they are extremely clean, otherwise the hairs will irritate the lungs and cause coughing. Wash once with Licorice Decoction (Gancao Tang), then wipe again with cotton cloth. After drying, for every one liang of leaves, apply half a qian of su (butter/ghee), roast over fire, and use. For treating stomach conditions, coat with ginger juice before roasting; for treating lung conditions, coat with honey water before roasting, which is also effective.
My late father said: The pit of the loquat sprouts immediately upon hitting the ground and grows easily, bearing flowers and fruit within nearly ten years. It prefers high and open environments, thriving best in mountain soil. It forms flower buds in autumn, blooms in winter, sets fruit in spring, and ripens in summer. The pits outnumber the flesh, the foliage exceeds the branches, and the flowers are abundant forming buds. A cluster may have about thirty to fifty stems. If seven-tenths are pruned in mid-spring, the fruits will be large and fleshy. Otherwise, they will lack flesh and be small. When green, it has hairs and tastes sour; turning white and yellow, it becomes sweet, smooth, and palatable. Looking from afar, the leaves resemble summer cloth, with the tip being twice as wide as the base. Although planted together in gardens and served on banquet tables, its vibrant growth and beauty are distinct from seasonal flowers. In the season of heaven and earth closing and storing, it alone reveals its floral splendor; amidst the flourishing of all things, it appears lush and reclusive. People know only that the leaves serve as medicine, but do not know that the two halves of the kernel are about to become two leaves, representing the womb of the tree. However, compared to the leaves, the kernels especially contain accumulated essence. The branches, stems, bark, and flesh each have their uses. The whole plant is specialized, surpassing other fruits.
[Commentary] It is said: The tool for harvesting wheat is called "pipa"; the official storehouse for grain is called the "Stomach Mansion" (Wei Fu). This symbolizes its ability to enter and exit. Ophiopogon japonicus (Maidong) flourishes and fruits in summer, while the loquat also flowers in winter and fruits in summer. This is contrary to the movement of astronomical instruments (Jiheng) which enter in winter and exit in summer, hence it is said to possess the functions of closing and opening. Therefore, it enters the Stomach Mansion, primarily treating sudden, unceasing hiccups, vomiting, and retching. It also travels to the Lung channel, treating coughing, expectoration, and qi obstruction. This refers to the turbid fluid generated by hiccups, vomiting, and retching, which ascends via the Lung meridian to the lungs, causing lung anger and lung distension. The upper and lower pathogens combine and strike each other, forming coughs, resulting in sputum and obstruction. Since the stomach is responsible for receiving and containing food, its rotting, cooking, and distribution must rely on the inhalation and exhalation of lung qi, acting as key links at the beginning and end. It strongly treats Hong Kong foot (podagra/swelling of the feet), which is caused by the downward flow of turbid fluids; sores and ulcers, which are caused by the external overflow of turbid fluids. Various causes and syndromes all originate from the stomach. As for clearing lung metal, nourishing kidney water, benefiting spleen earth, clearing heart fire, and calming liver yang, this represents transforming outward movement into inward entry. Resolving summer heat, eliminating heat and vexation, stopping polydipsia, removing warm pathogens, and warding off epidemics, this represents transforming inward entry into outward exit. In summary, it makes what should go out go out, and what should come in come in; it opens and closes what cannot open or close. It is an excellent herb for harmonizing form and qi. The Classic states: "The five Yin organs are born from the five flavors; the five Yin organs are injured by the five flavors." Thus, the loquat does not only enter the stomach and lungs, but also the heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys—the five zang organs. This is because the stomach is the beginning of the meridional qi of the five zang and six fu organs, and also their end.
