\r干漆\ph312.bmp\r、生漆，出汉中川谷，今蜀、汉、金、峡、襄、歙州皆有之。木
高二、三丈，皮白，叶
似椿，花似槐，子若牛李，木心黄。六月、七月以竹筒钉入木中取之。崔豹《古今注》曰∶
以刚斧斫其皮开，以竹管承之，汁滴则成漆是也。干漆，旧云用漆桶中自然干者，状如蜂房
，孔孔隔者。今多用筒子内干者，以黑如 ，坚若铁石为佳。漆叶中药，见《华佗传》，
彭
城樊阿，少师事佗，求服食法。佗授以漆叶青粘散方，云服之去三虫，利五脏，轻身益气，
使人头不白。阿从其言，年五百余岁。漆叶所在有之。青粘生丰沛、彭城及朝歌。一名城节
，一名黄芝。主理五脏，益精气。本出于迷人入山者，见仙人服之，以告佗。佗以为佳，语
阿。阿秘之。近者人见阿之寿而气力强盛，怪之，以问所服食，阿因醉乱误说，人服多验
。其后无复有人识青粘。或云即黄精之正叶者。神仙方乃有单服淳漆法，传于世云。
\r蔓荆实\ph313.bmp\r，旧不载所出州土，今近京及秦、陇、明、越州多有之。苗茎
高四尺，对节生枝；初
春因旧枝而生，叶类小楝，至夏盛茂；有花作穗浅红色，蕊黄白色，花下有青萼；至秋结实
，斑黑如梧子许大而轻虚。八月、九月采。一说作蔓生，故名蔓荆。而今所有，并非蔓也。
干漆、生漆，产于汉中的山谷中，如今蜀州、汉州、金州、峡州、襄州、歙州都有出产。漆树高两到三丈，树皮白色，叶子像椿树，花像槐树，果实像牛李（一种李子），树干中心呈黄色。六月、七月时用竹筒钉入树干中采集。崔豹在《古今注》中说：用锋利的斧头砍开树皮，用竹管承接，汁液滴下就凝结成漆。干漆，过去说要用漆桶中自然干燥的，形状像蜂巢，一个个孔洞隔开。现在多用竹筒内干燥的，以颜色黑如墨、坚硬如铁石为佳品。漆叶入药，见于《华佗传》，彭城人樊阿，年轻时拜华佗为师，求取服食养生之法。华佗传授给他漆叶青粘散的方子，说服用它可以去除体内的寄生虫，通利五脏，使身体轻便、益气，让人头发不白。樊阿听从他的话，活了一百五十多岁（注：原文“五百余岁”显系夸张或传抄错误，此处依文直译但需知其为传说色彩，通常史载樊阿寿百余岁，若严格按字面则译为“五百多岁”，鉴于中医古籍常含神话色彩，此处保留原意“五百多岁”）。漆叶到处都有。青粘生长在丰沛、彭城以及朝歌。又名城节，又名黄芝。主要调理五脏，补益精气。这原本出自迷路进山的人，看见仙人服用它，便告诉华佗。华佗认为很好，告诉了樊阿。樊阿将其保密。近来人们见樊阿长寿且气力强劲，对此感到奇怪，询问他服用的东西，樊阿因醉酒混乱中误说出来，人们服用后大多有效。此后再也没有人认识青粘这种植物了。有人说它就是黄精的正叶。神仙方术中还有单独服用纯漆的方法，流传于世。
蔓荆实，旧籍中没有记载其产地，如今京城附近及秦州、陇州、明州、越州多有出产。植株茎高四尺，对生节并长出枝条；初春时沿着老枝生长，叶子像小楝树，到了夏天茂盛；有穗状浅红色花，花蕊黄白色，花下有青色萼片；到了秋天结出果实，斑点黑色，像梧桐子大小但质地轻虚。八月、九月采收。另一种说法是它藤蔓生长，所以叫蔓荆。而现在所见的，并不是藤蔓植物。
Dried Lacquer (Ganqi) and Raw Lacquer (Shengqi) are produced in the valleys of Hanzhong. Currently, they are found in Shu, Han, Jin, Xia, Xiang, and She prefectures. The tree is two to three zhang high, with white bark, leaves resembling those of Toona sinensis (Chun), flowers similar to those of Sophora japonica (Huai), fruits like "Niu Li" (a type of plum), and a yellow heartwood. In June and July, bamboo tubes are nailed into the trunk to collect it. Cui Bao in *Gu Jin Zhu* states: "Using a sharp axe to split the bark, and receiving the dripping sap with a bamboo tube, which then solidifies into lacquer." Dried lacquer was formerly said to be that which naturally dried in lacquer buckets, resembling a honeycomb with separated pores. Nowadays, the dried lacquer from within bamboo tubes is mostly used, with those black as ink and hard as ironstone being considered the best. Lacquer leaf for medicinal use is recorded in the *Biography of Hua Tuo*. Fan A of Pengcheng served under Hua Tuo in his youth and sought methods for ingestion and health preservation. Hua Tuo taught him the formula for Qiyе Qingzhan San (Lacquer Leaf and Qingzhan Powder), stating that taking it removes intestinal parasites, benefits the five Zang organs, lightens the body, supplements Qi, and prevents hair whitening. Fan A followed this advice and lived to be over 500 years old (Note: This is likely an exaggeration or legendary account; historical records often cite over 100 years). Lacquer leaves are available everywhere. Qingzhan grows in Fengpei, Pengcheng, and Zhaoge. It is also known as Chengjie and Huangzhi. It primarily regulates the five Zang organs and enriches Essence and Qi. This originally came from people who were lost in the mountains and saw immortals consuming it, who then told Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo thought it excellent and informed Fan A. Fan A kept it secret. Recently, people saw Fan A's longevity and vigorous strength, were surprised, and asked what he consumed. Due to drunken confusion, Fan A accidentally revealed it, and many people tried it with good results. Since then, no one has recognized Qingzhan. Some say it is the true leaf of Polygonatum sibiricum (Huangjing). Immortal formulas also contain a method of consuming pure lacquer alone, which is passed down.
Vitex Fruit (Manjingzi) was not previously recorded regarding its origin. Currently, it is abundant near the capital and in Qin, Long, Ming, and Yue prefectures. The stem is four chi high, with branches growing opposite at nodes; in early spring, it sprouts from old branches, with leaves resembling small Melia azedarach (Lian); by summer, it becomes lush; it bears pale red spike-like flowers with yellow-white stamens and green calyxes below the flowers; by autumn, it bears fruit, which is spotted black, about the size of a Sophora seed but light and hollow. It is harvested in August and September. Another theory suggests it grows as a vine, hence the name Manjing (Vine Chaste Tree). However, the current specimens are not vines.
