【气味】味甘,性寒,无毒。
【主治】安胎,治疗胎热及丹毒。
【考证】曰:苎麻,福建、广东、江苏、浙江等地多有生长。其宿根不死,到春天再次发芽,一丛有几十茎,也可以分株移植。
植株高七八尺,叶子像楮树(构树),没有分叉,叶面青绿背面发白,有短茸毛。夏秋之间开细小的穗状花,花色青蓝。剥取它的皮可以绩织成布。在荆、杨地区则收割三次,取皮,用竹子刮去表皮,厚的部分自然脱落。
【释义】曰:门屏之间称为“宁”,《曲礼》说:“天子站在门屏之间。”大的麻称为“麻”(此处原文可能有误或特指某种大麻,结合上下文意指麻类植物),天子赐给伯、子、男爵位的乐舞时,则以麻来伴随(指用麻绳系挂乐器或作为礼仪用品)。功效主要在于安胎,顾名思义,就明白了。先人说:苎麻质地直而纤维缕缕,如经线如纬线,所以容易生长则气盛,纹理润泽则血流顺畅。它安胎的效果优于益母草,世俗之人未能认识到这一点。

【气味】味辛、甘,性大温,有小毒。
【主治】心痛、血痹,面部各种疾病,引导药势运行。
【考证】曰:本产于高丽,以及东海、新罗国,现在产于凉州,以及辽东。生长在沙石下的湿地,单茎,类似鼠尾草,细叶环绕生长,生于穗间。形状像天雄,根像较小的草乌头,长约一寸左右,干燥皱缩且有节。
【释义】曰:白附子,形状像附子但颜色白,其阳毒独行的勇悍之气,也与此相似。气味辛温,功效等同于火热之性,是用于手少阴心脏体用的药物。经文说:心是生命的根本,神志变化的所在,其荣华表现在面部,其充养在血脉。心为阳中之太阳,通应于夏气,所以主要作用是行药势,治疗心痛、血痹和面部各种疾病。

【气味】味辛,微温,无毒。
【主治】妇人崩中漏下,吐血,止咳逆咯血。醋调涂敷痈肿毒瓦斯。
【考证】曰:灶心黄土,原名伏龙肝。取灶台中对着锅底中心的赤色土。经过火煅烧十年以上的良佳。炮制方法:研磨极细,水飞法处理。
【释义】曰:鳞虫和木属称为龙。肝是藏血的脏器。因为肝藏血,所以主治血液失于所藏,表现为吐血、逆血、崩血、便血。服用后卧血归于肝,从而诸血得以收藏,心神重新获得主宰,脾脏重新恢复统摄功能,伏龙肝的功效普遍广泛。只是木必然克制土,木侵袭火传变,火侵袭土停留,开始残害,最终递相产生,由此看来,还可以主治木乘土导致的脾衰,火烁肺叶导致的咳逆,都能治疗。佛经说:带着彼此相生,彼此带着相生,这就是生生不息的道理吧。用醋调涂敷痈肿解毒,醋是酸味的,由稻米发酵而成酸,兼具金行和木德的特性。完全依赖火土传授的伏龙肝,顺应浮沉于生长的门户,从春到夏,到长夏,到秋到冬,在艮卦的位置完成言语(指万物归藏)。何必担心腠理不通的痈肿,死阴毒厉不能消除呢?况且万物没有不生于土而归土的,物有所归,杀厉之气,变得温暖如同春天的仁洁一样。
(Recorded in the Lower Grade of *Mingyi Bielu*)
[Flavor and Property] Sweet, cold, non-toxic.
[Indications] Calms the fetus; treats fetal heat and erysipelas (Dan Du).
[Verification] It is stated that: Ramie (*Boehmeria nivea*, Zhuma) is abundant in Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. The perennial roots do not die; they sprout again in spring. One clump has dozens of stems and can be propagated by division.
The plant grows seven to eight chi high. The leaves resemble those of the paper mulberry (*Broussonetia papyrifera*, Chu), without lobes, green on the upper surface and white on the lower, covered with short pubescence. In summer and autumn, it bears small spike-like flowers with blue-green petals. Its bark can be stripped and processed into cloth. In the Jing and Yang regions, it is harvested three times; the bark is taken, scraped with bamboo to remove the epidermis, and the thicker parts detach naturally.
[Interpretation] It is said: The space between the gate and the screen is called "Ning" (Pillar/Screen area). *Li Ji* (Book of Rites) states: "The Son of Heaven stands at the Ning." Large hemp is referred to as "Ma". When the Son of Heaven bestows music upon the nobles of the ranks Bo, Zi, and Nan, hemp is used to accompany it. The primary efficacy is calming the fetus; taking the name literally reveals its function. Ancestors said: Its texture is straight with fibrous strands, like warp and weft; thus, easy growth implies abundant Qi, and moist texture implies smooth blood flow. Its efficacy in calming the fetus is superior to that of Motherwort (*Leonurus japonicus*, Yimucao), a fact unrecognized by the secular world.
(Recorded in the Lower Grade of *Mingyi Bielu*)
[Flavor and Property] Pungent, sweet, greatly warm, slightly toxic.
[Indications] Heart pain, blood bi (obstruction); various diseases of the face; promotes the circulation of medicinal properties.
[Verification] It is stated that: Originally from Goryeo, as well as the East Sea and Silla, it is now produced in Liangzhou and Liaodong. It grows in wetlands under sandy deserts, with a single stem, resembling *Salvia miltiorrhiza* (Danshen, though text says Mouse Tail Grass/Salvia type), with fine leaves surrounding the stem, growing among the spikes. Its shape resembles Tianxiong (*Aconitum brachypodum*), and its root resembles smaller Caowutou (*Aconitum carmichaelii*). It is about one cun long, dry, wrinkled, and jointed.
[Interpretation] It is said: Baifuzi (*Gastrodiae Rhizoma*, Gastrodia Rhizome - note: historically distinct from modern Aconitum but here described by shape/color), named for resembling Fuzi (*Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata*, Prepared Lateral Root of Monkshood) but being white in color, shares the fierce and solitary nature of yang toxins. Its pungent and warm flavor and efficacy are equivalent to fire and heat; it is a drug used for the substance/function of the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian. The Classics state: The Heart is the root of life and the change of spirit; its brilliance manifests in the face, and its filling is in the blood vessels. As the Taiyang (Greater Yang) within the Yang, it communicates with the Qi of Summer. Therefore, it primarily promotes the movement of medicinal qi, treating heart pain, blood bi, and various facial diseases.
(Recorded in the Lower Grade of *Mingyi Bielu*)
[Flavor and Property] Pungent, slightly warm, non-toxic.
[Indications] Metrorrhagia and metrostaxis (Bengzhong) in women; hematemesis; stops coughing up blood. Applied externally with vinegar for carbuncles, swellings, and toxic vapors.
[Verification] It is stated that: Zaocodi Cortex (Zaoxin Huangtu), originally named Fulonggan (Dragon Liver lying dormant). It refers to the red earth taken from the center of the stove directly beneath the pot. Earth heated by fire for ten years is considered excellent. Processing: Grind extremely finely and use the water flotation method (Shuifei).
[Interpretation] It is said: Scaled creatures and wood elements are associated with Dragon. The Liver is the organ storing Wood. Since the Liver stores Blood, it governs conditions where blood fails to be stored, manifesting as hematemesis, regurgitant blood, metrorrhagia, and hematochezia. Upon ingestion, blood returns to the Liver, allowing all blood to be stored; the Heart reclaims its mastery, and the Spleen restores its control. Thus, the power of Fulonggan is universal. However, Wood inevitably overacts on Earth; Wood attacks Fire which transmits to Earth, and Fire attacks Earth which stays. Initially destructive, eventually generating sequentially. From this perspective, it can also treat Spleen deficiency caused by Wood encroaching on Earth, and coughing/reversal due to Fire scorching the Lung lobes, treating both. Buddhist scriptures say: One leads another to arise, another leads one to arise; this is called continuous generation. Using vinegar to apply topically for carbuncles and detoxification: Vinegar is sour, made from rice fermentation, possessing both Metal and Wood virtues. Relying entirely on the Fulonggan transmitted through Fire and Earth, it follows floating and sinking in the gates of growth. From Spring to Summer, to Late Summer, to Autumn and Winter, completion occurs in Gen (Mountain). Why worry about carbuncles due to blocked flesh pores or death-yin toxic plagues not being dispelled? Moreover, all things are born of Earth and return to Earth; things have their归宿 (destination). The killing and harsh qi becomes warm and pure like the benevolence of Spring.
