县茶
场出枣，其大如拳，核尖细如黍，决之即脱，清甘香脆，以此名闻天下。明中叶尚存数柯，
今此种已绝矣。惟东南诸乡于高阜地种之，虽不及茶场，亦美甲于他处。其制法不一，未熟
辄击，以汤沃之使变色，谓之汤红，干则其色紫；已熟者，名树头红，干则其色丹；过熟者
，以所煮余汁煮之，色味似庶糖，谓之糖枣，此则以时食为美，不作干也。又有一种棘，差
小而圆，味殊胜枣。 物理小识∶南枣出兰溪，摇而知之，其肉离核，味甘微酸，性温补，
赤入心，酸敛肝。

山枣，又称藏枣。
产自浙江金华东阳县茶场，以色泽透明如血、七枚连在一起长达一尺的为佳品，陈年的入药。
《宦游笔记》记载：金华东阳县茶场出产的枣，大如拳头，核尖细如黍米，剥开即脱，味道清甜香脆，因此闻名天下。明代中叶尚存几株，如今此品种已绝迹。只有东南各乡在高燥之地种植，虽然不及茶场产的优良，但也堪称其他地方所产中的第一。其制作方法不一：未成熟时敲击，用热水浇淋使其变色，称为“汤红”，干燥后颜色呈紫色；已成熟的，称为“树头红”，干燥后颜色呈丹红色；过熟的，用煮过的剩余汁液再煮，色味似饴糖，称为“糖枣”，这种以新鲜食用为美，不作干制。又有一种棘枣，较小且圆，味道胜过普通枣。
《物理小识》记载：南枣产于兰溪，摇动时可感知，其果肉与核分离，味甘微酸，性温补，赤色入心，酸味收敛肝气。
《博记单方》记载：眼疾中有一种名为“红线锁目”的病症，治疗方法是取南枣核二十一粒，将枣核截成两半，去掉仁，洗净，用铜绿塞入孔中，仍将枣核合拢，用纸贴封一起，放入炉中烧至通红，取出，用碗盖住以保留药性。每天只用七个，研成极细末，调和男婴母乳涂抹患处，三日即可见效。
肠红下血：南枣五枚，同黄芩二钱，煎汤，在五更天服用，效果神奇。
另一方出自《不药良方》：南枣十枚，槐米一两，同煎，去米吃枣，每日三次即可痊愈。
痔疮：《救生苦海》记载：南枣一枚（去核），鳖头骨一个（捣碎），用铜青装满枣肉，扎紧，火烟烧尽，埋入土中保留药性，研细；用秋海棠煎水清洗，然后用药粉和水调敷患处，三日可消。
除壁虱：《集听》记载：大南枣去核，放入水银，用火煨熏。
走马牙疳：《不药良方》记载：陈年南枣核，烧成灰，研末掺敷患处。
枣参丸：《醒园录》记载：用大南枣十枚，蒸软去皮去核，配人参一钱，用布包裹，放在饭锅内蒸烂，捣匀制成丸药，如弹子大小，收贮备用，补气最快。
仙果不饥方：《醒园录》记载：大南枣一斤，好柿饼十块，芝麻半斤去皮炒熟，糯米粉半斤炒熟，将芝麻研成细末，枣、柿同入饭中，蒸熟取出，去皮核及蒂，捣极烂，和入芝麻、糯米两种粉末，再捣匀制成丸药，晒干收贮，加入人参更佳。
《本经逢原》说：古方中使用大枣皆是红枣，取其生用能发散表邪；入补脾药宜用南枣，取其甘味能益津液；黑枣助湿中生火、损齿生虫，入药不宜。
Shanzao (Southern Jujube), also known as Zangzao.
Produced in Chachang, Dongyang County, Jinhua, Zhejiang, those with a transparent color like blood and seven pieces linked together measuring one chi in length are considered the best; aged ones are used for medicinal purposes.
*Huanyou Biji* records: The jujubes produced in Chachang, Dongyang County, Jinhua, are as large as fists, with cores sharp and fine like millet seeds, detaching easily upon peeling, possessing a clear, sweet, fragrant, and crisp taste, thus renowned throughout the world. A few trees still existed in the mid-Ming Dynasty, but this variety has now become extinct. Only various townships in the southeast plant them on high, dry land; although not as superior as those from Chachang, they are still the finest among other regions. Their processing methods vary: unripe fruits are struck and washed with hot water to change their color, called "Tanghong" (Soup Red), which turns purple when dried; ripe fruits are called "Shutouhong" (Tree-top Red), turning cinnabar red when dried; overripe fruits are boiled again in the remaining juice, resembling maltose in color and taste, called "Tangzao" (Sugar Jujube), which is prized for fresh consumption rather than drying. There is also a type of thorny jujube, smaller and rounder, with a taste superior to ordinary jujubes.
*Wuli Xiaoshi* records: Southern jujubes originate from Lanxi; they can be detected by shaking, with flesh separating from the core, having a sweet and slightly sour taste, warm nature, and tonifying properties; the red color enters the Heart, and the sour flavor astringes the Liver.
*Boji Danfang* records: For an eye disease named "Hongxian Suomu Gan" (Red Line Locking Eye Dryness), the treatment method is to take twenty-one kernels of Southern jujube, cut each kernel in half, remove the germ, clean thoroughly, fill the holes with Cupri Acetas (Basic Copper Acetate), reassemble the kernel, seal tightly with paper, burn in a furnace until red-hot, remove, cover with a bowl to preserve its nature. Use only seven daily, grind into an extremely fine powder, mix with breast milk from a male infant, and apply to the affected area; effectiveness is seen within three days.
Intestinal bleeding (Changhong): Five Southern jujubes combined with two qian of Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), decocted in water, taken at wugeng (3-5 AM); miraculous effect.
Another prescription from *Bu Yao Liang Fang*: Ten Southern jujubes combined with one liang of Huaimi (Sophorae Flos bud), decocted together; consume the jujubes after removing the Sophora flowers, three times daily leads to recovery.
Hemorrhoids: *Jiusheng Kuhai* records: One Southern jujube (pitted), one turtle head bone (crushed), fill the jujube flesh with Cupri Acetas (Basic Copper Acetate), tie tightly, burn until smoke ceases, bury in soil to preserve nature, grind finely; wash with decoction of Begonia autumnalis, then apply the medicine mixed with water; resolves within three days.
Removal of ticks: *Jiting* records: Remove the pit from a large Southern jujube, insert Mercury, roast over fire for fumigation.
Zouma Yagan (Running Horse Gum Rot): *Bu Yao Liang Fang* records: Burn aged Southern jujube kernels to ash, grind into powder, and sprinkle on the affected area.
Zaoshen Wan (Jujube and Ginseng Pill): *Xingyuan Lu* records: Take ten large Southern jujubes, steam until soft, peel and remove pits, combine with one qian of Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), wrap in cloth, steam thoroughly in a rice cooker until mushy, mash evenly into pills the size of marbles, store for use; most rapid for tonifying Qi.
Xianguo Bujifang (Immortal Fruit Satiety Formula): *Xingyuan Lu* records: One jin of large Southern jujubes, ten good dried persimmons, half a jin of peeled sesame seeds stir-fried, half a jin of glutinous rice flour stir-fried; grind the sesame seeds into fine powder; steam the jujubes and persimmons in rice, remove, peel, remove pits and stems, mash thoroughly, mix with the sesame and glutinous rice powders, mash evenly into pills, dry and store; adding Ginseng is even better.
*Benjing Fengyuan* states: In ancient prescriptions, Dazao (Large Jujube) always referred to Hongzao (Red Jujube), chosen for its ability to release the exterior when raw; for spleen-tonifying formulas, Nan-zao (Southern Jujube) should be used, chosen for its sweetness to benefit fluids; Heizao (Black Jujube) promotes dampness and generates internal fire, damages teeth, and causes worms, making it unsuitable for medicinal use.
