出自福建泉州府,由开元寺制作的最佳。此曲采集百草发酵制成,因此又名百草曲。以黑青色、煎煮后成块不散、散发清香气味的为真品。颜色带黄淡的称为贡曲。药力平和,不如青黑色者药力大,此曲越陈越好。《药性考》记载:泉州神曲味道微苦香甘,能搜风解表,调理胃气、行化痰饮,止住咳嗽、疟疾、痢疾、呕吐、腹泻,能够安定温疫和山岚瘴气,发散疹毒、消除斑疹,治疗感冒头痛、食积心烦。用生姜煎汤温服,每次二三钱。传说其配方秘密不传,得名于范志,方块形状方正,使用有效,馈赠远方之人令人欢喜。蔡氏药帖记载:治疗风寒暑湿引起的头眩发热,发汗即可痊愈。能消积滞,开胸理膈,调理脾胃,调和四季未定之气。兼能止泻消肿,以及饮食不进等症状。又能止霍乱吐泻,咳嗽、赤白痢疾、小儿伤饥失饱等一切病症。如果外出四方,不服水土,瘴气腹痛,都能取得神奇疗效。
范志斋、蔡协德居住在泉州府城西街东塔前,一向制作百草神曲,即现在的建神曲。每个重半斤或四两。乾隆辛卯年五月,蔡氏正在制作神曲时,忽然有一位客人到来,看着百草感叹道:“当今男女老幼禀赋之气衰薄,百草恐怕损伤元气。我有奇方:共九十六味药,配合君臣佐使,另外加上十二味青草如紫苏、薄荷等物,捣烂煎汤,合共一百零八味。制成小方块,每块一两,按照端午节及六月六日诸神聚会之时,都可以依法制造。药性平和,气味甘香,远行的人适宜准备。可以代替茶常服,成人每次服用三钱,水一碗,煎至七分;小儿每次服用一钱五分,水一茶钟,煎至六分半,在饥饱时服用,忌吃生菜。只有孕妇不可服用。此药切片煎汤,药渣不散,必须辨认形色淡黄的为真品。”

Fan Zhi Qu (Fan Zhi Divine Leaven) and Baijiu Yao Qu (White Wine Medicinal Leaven) Appendix
Originating from Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, the best quality is produced by Kaiyuan Temple. This leaven is made by fermenting a hundred herbs, hence also known as Baicao Qu (Hundred Herb Leaven). The authentic product is blackish-green in color, forms solid blocks when boiled, does not disintegrate, and emits a clear, fragrant aroma. Those with a pale yellow color are called Gong Qu (Tribute Leaven). Its medicinal power is mild and peaceful, less potent than that of the dark green-black variety; this leaven becomes more effective with age. *Yao Xing Kao* (Compendium of Drug Properties) records: Quanzhou Shen Qu (Divine Leaven) has a slightly bitter, fragrant, and sweet taste. It can search out wind and release the exterior, regulate the stomach and promote phlegm resolution, stop cough, malaria, dysentery, vomiting, and diarrhea. It can stabilize warm epidemics and mountain miasma, disperse rashes and eliminate macules, treat cold-induced headache, food stagnation, and mental restlessness. Decoct with ginger and take warm, 2-3 qian per dose. Legend has it that its formulation is kept secret, named after Fan Zhi, formed into neat blocks, effective in use, and pleasing to give to distant friends. Cai Shi Yao Tie (Cai Family Medicine Post) records: Treats dizziness and fever caused by wind-cold, summerheat-dampness; sweating immediately cures. It can resolve accumulation, open the chest and regulate the diaphragm, harmonize the stomach and strengthen the spleen, and adjust the unstable qi of the four seasons. It also stops diarrhea and reduces swelling, and treats symptoms such as loss of appetite. It can further stop cholera-like vomiting and diarrhea, cough, red-and-white dysentery, and all conditions related to infant hunger or overeating. If traveling abroad and failing to adapt to local water and soil, or suffering from abdominal pain due to miasma, it yields miraculous results.
Fan Zhi Zhai and Cai Xiede, residing at the front of the East Pagoda on West Street in Quanzhou Prefecture City, have long produced Baicao Shen Qu (Hundred Herb Divine Leaven), which is now known as Jian Qu (Jian Leaven). Each piece weighs half a jin or four liang. In May of the Xinmao year of Qianlong's reign, while Cai was producing leaven, a guest suddenly arrived, looked at the herbs, and sighed: "People of all ages today have weak constitution; hundred herbs may damage the primordial qi. I have an extraordinary prescription: ninety-six herbs combined according to sovereign, minister, assistant, and courier principles, plus twelve fresh green herbs such as Perilla Leaf (Zisu Ye) and Mint (Bohe), pounded and decocted, totaling one hundred and eight ingredients. Formed into small cubes, each weighing one liang. Manufactured according to law during the Dragon Boat Festival and the gathering of deities on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. The drug properties are mild and peaceful, with a sweet and fragrant aroma, suitable for travelers. It can be taken daily instead of tea. Adults take 3 qian, decocted in one bowl of water until reduced to seven-tenths. Children take 1.5 qian, decocted in one teacup of water until reduced to six-tenths. Take when hungry or full, avoid raw vegetables. Pregnant women must not take it. When sliced and decocted, the dregs do not scatter; identify the authentic product by its pale yellow color."
Within Quanzhou Prefecture City, Wu Yifei of Fan Zhi produces the famous Wan Ying Shen Qu (Ten Thousand Responses Divine Leaven). Its aroma is neutral and harmonious, clear, fragrant, sweet, and bland. It searches out wind and releases the exterior, opens the chest and relieves diaphragmatic oppression, regulates the stomach and strengthens the spleen, resolves accumulation and promotes digestion, harmonizes the middle and resolves alcohol toxicity, stops diarrhea and promotes urination, treats irregular qi of the four seasons, cold-induced fever, dizziness, cough, food-stagnation abdominal pain, distension and Qi pain, vomiting, diarrhea, dysentery, and loss of appetite. For early-stage smallpox/rash, it is used to push out pathogenic toxins.
It also treats failure to adapt to local water and soil, miasma-induced malaria and dysentery, and is especially suitable for regular consumption when traveling far. Adults take 3 qian, decocted in one soup bowl of water until reduced to seven-tenths. Children take 1.5 qian or 1 qian, decocted in one large teacup of water until reduced to seven-tenths. Divide each qian into five or six pieces. For external contraction with fever, dizziness, cough, malaria, and vomiting, add fresh Ginger Root (Sheng Jiang) and decoct together. For diarrhea, add Mume Fruit (Wumei) and decoct together. Only for dysentery should the dosage be doubled. Adults use 5 qian, children 2-3 qian, decocted with good Bocha heart (tea center). Price is 1.6 taels of silver per jin. If packed in boxes, 5 wen per piece. The shop is located in Guitan Alley beside the Academy Examination Hall, third room south of the top of Guanyin Pavilion, marked by the Fan Zhi Wu family plaque.
Baijiu Yao Qu (White Wine Medicinal Leaven): *Yao Xing Kao* states: Baijiu Yao Qu originated in Songjiang. Galangal Root (Liangjiang) 4 liang, Aconite Root (Caowu) 0.5 jin. Evodia Fruit (Wuyu), Angelica Dahurica Root (Baizhi), Phellodendron Bark (Huangbai), Cinnamon Twig Heart (Guixin), Dried Ginger (Ganjiang), Cyperus Rhizome (Xiangfu), Smartweed Herb (Laliao), Sophora Root (Kushen), Sichuan Pepper (Qinjiao) - these nine herbs, each 1 liang in equal parts. Chrysanthemum Flower (Juhua) and Mint (Bohe) 2 liang each. Clove Bud Skin (Dingpi) and Alpinia Oxyphylla Fruit (Yizhi) 5 qian each. Apricot Seed (Xingren). All ground into fine powder. Talcum Powder (Huashi) 5 jin, Rice Flour (Mifen) 8 dou, mixed evenly with river sand. Form into pills and dry for use. Makes wine fragrant; stir-fried until charred and mixed with food, effectively resolving stagnation and accumulation.
