\r凫葵\ph201.bmp\r,即 菜也。旧不着所出州土,云生水中,今处处池泽皆有之。
叶似 ,茎涩,根甚长
,花黄色;水中极繁盛。谨按《尔雅》∶ 谓之接余,其叶谓之苻。郭璞以为丛生水中,叶
圆在茎端,长短随水深浅。江东人食之。《诗·周南》所谓参差荇菜是也。陆机云∶白茎,
叶紫赤色,正圆,径寸余,浮在水上。根在水底,大如钗股,上青下白,鬻其白茎,以苦酒
浸脆美,可以按酒,今人不食,医方亦鲜用。
\r鳢肠\ph202.bmp\r,即莲子草也,旧不载所出州郡,但云生下湿地,今处处有之,
南方尤多。此有二种∶
一种叶似柳而光泽,茎似马齿苋,高一、二尺许,花细而白,其实若小莲房。苏恭云∶苗似
旋复者是也;一种苗梗枯瘦,颇似莲花而黄色,实亦作房而圆,南人谓之莲翘者。二种摘其
苗,皆有汁出,须臾而黑,故多作乌髭发药用之,俗谓之旱莲子。三月、八月采,阴干,
亦谓之金陵草。见孙思邈《千金·月令》云∶益髭发,变白为黑。金陵草煎方∶金陵草一秤
,六月以后收采,拣择无泥土者,不用洗,须青嫩,不杂黄叶,乃堪烂捣研,新布绞取汁,
又以纱绢滤,令滓尽,内通油器钵盛之,日中煎。五日,又取生姜一斤绞汁,白蜜一斤,合
和入煎,中以柳木篦搅,勿停手,令匀调。又置日中煎之,令如稀饧,为药成矣。每旦日及
午后,各服一匙,以温酒一盏化下。如欲作丸,日中再煎,令可丸,大如梧子,依前法酒服
三十丸,及时多合制为佳,其效甚速。

凫葵(莼菜),即莼菜。旧籍未注明其产地州郡,只说生长在水中,如今各地的池塘沼泽都有生长。叶子形状像……(原文此处可能有缺字或图示指代,通常指圆形或椭圆形),茎部涩滑,根非常长,花为黄色;在水中生长得非常茂盛。谨按《尔雅》记载:这种植物称为接余,它的叶子称为苻。郭璞认为它丛生在水中,叶子圆形位于茎端,长短随水深浅而变化。江东人食用它。《诗经·周南》中所说的“参差荇菜”就是指的这种植物。陆机说:茎是白色的,叶子呈紫红色,正圆形,直径一寸多,漂浮在水面上。根在水底,粗细如发钗股,上部青色下部白色,人们售卖其白色茎部,用苦酒(醋)浸泡使其脆美,可以作为下酒菜,现在的人不吃,医方中也很少使用。
鳢肠(墨旱莲),即莲子草。旧籍未记载其产地州郡,只说生长在低湿之地,如今到处都有,南方尤其多。这有两种:一种叶子像柳叶且有光泽,茎像马齿苋,高约一、二尺,花细小而白色,果实像小莲房。苏恭说:苗像旋覆花的就是这种;另一种苗梗枯瘦,很像莲花但花色黄,果实也呈房状且圆,南方人称之为莲翘。这两种采摘其嫩苗,都有汁液流出,一会儿就变黑,所以多作为乌须发的药物使用,俗称为旱莲子。三月、八月采集,阴干,也称为金陵草。孙思邈在《千金要方·月令》中说:能滋养胡须头发,使白发变黑。金陵草煎膏方:金陵草一秤,六月以后采收,挑选无泥土的,不洗,必须青嫩,不混杂黄叶,才能烂捣研碎,用新布绞取汁液,再用纱绢过滤,使渣滓尽除,放入通油器的钵中盛放,在阳光下煎煮。五天,再取生姜一斤绞取汁液,白蜜一斤,混合在一起继续煎煮,中间用柳木篦搅拌,不要停手,使其均匀调和。又放在阳光下煎煮,直到变成稀糖状,药成就完成了。每天早晨和午后,各服一匙,用一盏温酒化开送服。如果想做成丸剂,在阳光下再次煎煮,直到可以制成丸药,大小如梧桐子,依照前面的方法用酒送服三十丸,及时多制作一些为佳,其效果非常快。

Fukui [Choy Sum/Water Shield], refers to Choy Sum (Chuncai). Old texts do not specify its origin provinces, only stating it grows in water. Now it is found everywhere in ponds and marshes. Its leaves resemble [shape implied by context/illustration], stems are slippery/astringent, roots are very long, flowers are yellow; it grows extremely luxuriantly in water. According to "Erya": This plant is called Jieyu, and its leaves are called Fu. Guo Pu believed it grows in clusters in water, with round leaves at the tips of the stems, their length varying with the depth of the water. People in Jiangdong eat it. It is what is referred to as "uneven xing cai" (Oxalis corniculata or similar aquatic plant) in the "Book of Songs · Zhou Nan". Lu Ji said: The stem is white, leaves are purple-red, perfectly round, slightly more than one cun in diameter, floating on the water surface. Roots are at the bottom of the water, thick as a hairpin shaft, green on top and white below. People sell its white stems, soaking them in bitter wine (vinegar) to make them crisp and delicious, suitable as an appetizer. Nowadays, people do not eat it, and it is rarely used in medical prescriptions.
Lichang [Eclipta Prostrata], also known as Lianzicao. Old texts do not record its origin provinces, only stating it grows in low, wet places. Now it is found everywhere, especially abundant in the south. There are two varieties: One has leaves resembling willow leaves but glossy, stems resembling Portulaca oleracea (Purslane), growing about one to two chi tall, with small white flowers, and fruits resembling small lotus pods. Su Gong said: The seedling resembling Inula japonica (Xuanfu) is this variety; another variety has withered and thin stems, resembling lotus flowers but yellow, and the fruit is also pod-like and round. Southerners call it Lianqiao. For both varieties, when picking the seedlings, juice flows out and turns black after a short while. Therefore, they are often used as medicines for darkening hair. Commonly known as Hanlianzi (Dry Lotus Seed). Harvested in March and August, dried in shade, also called Jinlingcao. Sun Simiao in "Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold · Monthly Regulations" states: It benefits beard and hair, turning white hair black. Decoction method for Jinlingcao: Take one cheng of Jinlingcao, harvested after June, select those without soil, do not wash, must be green and tender, free from yellow leaves, then pound and grind thoroughly. Squeeze out the juice using new cloth, filter through gauze and silk to remove all dregs, place in a glazed earthenware vessel, and simmer in the sun. After five days, take one jin of fresh ginger, squeeze out the juice, add one jin of white honey, mix well, and continue simmering. Stir constantly with a willow wood spatula until uniform. Place again in the sun to simmer until it resembles thin syrup, indicating the medicine is ready. Take one spoon each morning and afternoon, dissolved in a cup of warm wine. If making pills, simmer again in the sun until it can form pills, sized like wu zi (Cocculus trilobus seeds), taken according to the previous method with wine, thirty pills at a time. It is best to prepare a large quantity in advance, as its effect is very rapid.
