蔓荆实（出自《神农本草经》）：主治筋骨间的寒热湿痹、拘挛，明目，坚固牙齿，通利九窍，去除白虫及长虫。长期服用可轻身延年，抗衰老。
（以上为朱笔标注，引自《神农本草经》）
主治风邪引起的头痛、脑鸣、流泪，益气，使人面色光泽润泽。（小荆实功效等同。）
（以上为黑字标注，引自名医记录）
【苗】〔《图经》记载〕：蔓荆草生长在水边，茎叶蔓延，春天顺着旧枝生长出小叶。五月叶片长成，形状像杏叶。六月开花，花色浅红，花蕊黄色。九月果实成熟，上面有黑色斑点，大小如梧桐子，但质地空虚轻盈。冬天叶子凋落。〔《唐本注》说〕：蔓荆草蔓生，叶子像杏叶但更细，茎长达一丈多。花呈红白色。现在的人误把小荆当作蔓荆，于是将蔓荆子错认为牡荆子。〔《蜀本注》说〕：有人说蔓荆就是牡荆，但从道理上推断，蔓生的是蔓荆，树木生长的是牡荆。蔓生的果实大如梧桐子，树生的细小如麻子。根据现在的用药情况，正如梧桐子大小且轻虚的，就是蔓荆，这显然是蔓生的植物，这一点是明确的。〔《衍义》说〕：关于蔓荆实，各家解释中蔓荆、牡荆、粉（音jiǔ）各不相同。既然书中提到蔓荆，就知道它是蔓生的，而不是高大的树木。既然提到牡荆，那自然是生长在木本植物上的。况且《汉书·郊祀志》中提到用牡荆茎做幡竿，所以知道蔓荆果实较大，又有什么可疑的呢？因此《图经》说另一种说法称蔓生的叫蔓荆，而现在拥有的并非蔓生品种。
【产地】〔《图经》记载〕：以前没有记载出产州土，现在京城附近以及秦陇、明越等地多有出产。〔道地药材〕眉州。
【时节】〔生长〕春天生叶。〔采收〕八月九月采集果实。〔贮藏〕晒干。〔药用部位〕果实。
【性状】类似毕澄茄，稍大且有白膜。颜色苍黑。味道辛苦。性质温，微寒。气味都较轻，属于阳中之阴。气味芳香。
【炮制】〔雷公说〕凡使用蔓荆实，需去掉蒂部，刮去子下的白膜，只用净仁。用酒浸泡一个时辰（约两小时），然后蒸制，从巳时到未时取出，晒干后捣碎使用。
【治疗作用】〔《药性论》说〕：祛除贼风，能促使胡须生长。〔《日华子》说〕：通利关节，治疗赤眼、痫疾。〔《汤液本草》说〕：凉诸经之血，止头痛及眼睛内部疼痛。

Manjing Shi (Fructus Viticis) [Source: *Shennong Bencao Jing*]: Primarily treats cold-heat and dampness bi-syndrome in the muscles and bones, spasms and contracture, brightens the eyes, strengthens teeth, unblocks the nine orifices, and expels white parasites and long worms. Long-term consumption lightens the body, promotes longevity, and delays aging.
(Above text in vermilion ink, from *Shennong Bencao Jing*)
Treats wind-induced headache, tinnitus in the head, tearing, benefits Qi, and gives luster to the complexion. (Xiao Jing Shi has equivalent effects.)
(Above text in black ink, recorded by famous physicians)
[Seedling] [*Tu Jing* states]: Grows along water banks with creeping stems and leaves; sprouts small leaves from old branches in spring. Leaves mature in May, resembling apricot leaves. Flowers appear in June, pale red with yellow stamens. Fruits ripen in September, marked with black spots, size similar to wutong seeds but hollow and light. Leaves fall in winter. [*Tang Ben Zhu* notes]: Creeping plant, leaves resemble apricot leaves but are finer, stems over one zhang long. Flowers are red and white. Modern people mistakenly identify Xiao Jing as Manjing, thus confusing Manjing Zi with Mujing Zi. [*Shu Ben Zhu* notes]: Some claim Manjing is Mujing; however, logically, creeping plants are Manjing, while arborescent plants are Mujing. The fruits of creeping types are large like wutong seeds, while those of arborescent types are small like hemp seeds. Based on current usage, the ones resembling wutong seeds and being light and hollow are indeed Manjing, confirming they are creeping plants. [*Yan Yi* states]: Various interpretations exist regarding Manjing Shi, distinguishing between Manjing, Mujing, and Fen (sound 'jiu'). Since the text mentions "creeping," it refers to a creeping plant, not a tall tree. Since it mentions Mujing, it naturally grows on trees. Furthermore, *Han Shu: Jiao Si Zhi* mentions using Mujing stems for banner poles, confirming that Manjing has larger seeds. Thus, the statement in *Tu Jing* that "creeping plants are named Manjing" implies that current specimens may not be the true creeping variety.
[Origin] [*Tu Jing* states]: Previously unrecorded; now commonly found near the capital, Qinlong, Mingzhou, and Yuezhou. [Authentic Origin]: Meizhou.
[Season] [Growth]: Leaves emerge in spring. [Harvest]: Collect fruits in August and September. [Storage]: Sun-dry. [Medicinal Part]: Fruit.
[Properties]: Resembles Bicengqie (Piperis Fructus Rotundus), slightly larger with a white membrane. Color is dark grey-black. Taste is pungent and bitter. Nature is warm, slightly cold. Aroma and flavor are both light; belongs to Yang within Yin. Odor is fragrant.
[Actions & Meridian Tropism]: Clears and benefits the head and eyes, disperses wind pathogenic factors. Enters the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian.
[Incompatibilities]: Adverse reaction with Wutou (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) and Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum).
[Processing] [Leigong says]: When used, remove the pedicel and scrape off the white membrane beneath the seed, using only the clean kernel. Soak in wine for one shi (approx. 2 hours), then steam from Si hour to Wei hour. Remove, sun-dry, and crush before use.
[Therapeutic Effects] [*Yao Xing Lun* says]: Expels thief-wind, promotes beard growth. [*Ri Hua Zi* says]: Unblocks joints, treats red eye and epilepsy. [*Tang Ye Ben Cao* says]: Cools blood in various meridians, stops headaches and internal eye pain.
[Contraindications]: Do not administer to patients with Spleen-Stomach deficiency, as it may generate phlegm diseases.
