【释名】鸦麻（《图经》）、壁虱胡麻（《纲目》）。
【集解】颂曰∶亚麻子出兖州、威胜军。苗叶俱青，花白色。八月上旬采其实用。
时珍曰∶今陕西人亦种之，即壁虱胡麻也。其实亦可榨油点灯，气恶不堪食。其茎穗颇
似茺蔚，子不同。
子
【气味】甘，微温，无毒。
【主治】大风疮癣（苏颂）。
（《本经》上品）
【释名】火麻（《日用》）、黄麻（俗名）、汉麻（《尔雅翼》），雄者名 麻（《诗疏》）、
牡麻（同上），雌者名苴麻（同上）、 麻（音字）。花名麻 （《本经》）、麻勃。
时珍曰∶麻从两KT 在广下，象屋下派麻之形也。KT 音派，广音俨。余见下注。云
汉麻者
【集解】
【正误】《本经》曰∶麻 一名麻勃，麻花上勃勃者。七月七日采之良。麻子九月采。
入土者损人。生太山川谷。
弘景曰∶麻 即牡麻，牡麻则无实。今人作布及履用之。
恭曰∶ 即麻实，非花也。《尔雅》云∶ ， 实。《仪礼》云∶苴，麻之有 者。注云∶
有子之麻为苴。皆谓子也。陶以 为麻勃，谓勃勃然如花者，复重出麻子，误矣。既以 为
米谷上品，花岂堪食乎？
藏器曰∶麻子，早春种为春麻子，小而有毒；晚春种为秋麻子，入药佳。压油可以油物。
宗 曰∶麻子，海东毛罗岛来者，大如莲实，最胜；其次出上郡、北地者，大如豆；南
地者，子小。
颂曰∶麻子处处种之，绩其皮以为布者。农家择其子之有斑黑文者，谓之雌麻，种之
则结子繁。他子则不然也。《本经》麻 、麻子所主相同，而麻花非所食之物，苏恭之论似
当矣。然《本草》朱字云，麻 味辛，麻子味甘，又似二物。疑《本草》与《尔雅》、《礼
记》称谓有不同者。又《药性论》用麻花，云味苦，主诸风、女经不利。然则 也、子也、
花也，其三物乎？
时珍曰∶大麻即今火麻，亦曰黄麻。处处种之，剥麻收子。有雌有雄∶雄者为 ，雌者
为苴。大科如油麻。叶狭而长，状如益母草叶，一枝七叶或九叶。五、六月开细黄花成穗，
随即结实，大如胡荽子，可取油。剥其皮作麻。其秸白而有棱，轻虚可为烛心。《齐民要术
》云∶麻子放勃时，拔去雄者。若未放勃，先拔之，则不成子也。其子黑而重，可捣治为烛
。即此也。《本经》有麻 、麻子二条，谓 即麻勃，谓麻子入土者杀人。苏恭谓 是麻子，
非花也。苏颂谓 、子、花为三物。疑而不决。谨按∶《吴普本草》云∶麻勃一名麻花，味
辛无毒。麻蓝一名麻 ，一名青葛，味辛甘有毒。麻叶有毒，食之杀人。麻子中仁无毒，先
藏地中者，食之杀人。据此说则麻勃是花，麻 是实，麻仁是实中仁也。普三国时人，去古
未远，说甚分明。
《神农本经》以花为 ，以藏土入土杀人，其文皆传写脱误尔。陶氏及唐宋诸家，皆
不考究而臆度疑似，可谓疏矣。今依吴氏改正于下。

【主治】一百二十种恶风，黑色遍身苦痒，逐诸风恶血，治女人经候不通（《药性》）。
治健忘及金疮内漏（时珍）。
【发明】弘景曰∶麻勃方药少用。术家合人参服之，逆知未来事。
时珍曰∶按∶《范汪方》有治健忘方∶七月七日收麻勃一升，人参二两，为末，蒸令气
遍。每临卧服一刀圭，能尽知四方之事。此乃治健忘，服之能记四方事也。陶云逆知未来事
，过言矣。又《外台》言生疔肿人，忌见麻勃，见之即死者，用胡麻、针砂、烛烬为末，醋
和敷之。不知麻勃与疔何故相忌？亦如人有见漆即生疮者，此理皆不可晓。

刘完素曰∶麻，木谷也而治风，同气相求也。

（宋代《图经本草》）
【释名】鸦麻（出自《图经本草》）、壁虱胡麻（出自《本草纲目》）。
【集解】苏颂说：亚麻子产于兖州、威胜军。茎叶都是青色的，花是白色的。八月上旬采集其实用。
李时珍说：现在陕西人也种植它，就是壁虱胡麻。它的果实也可以榨油点灯，但气味恶臭，不能食用。它的茎穗很像茺蔚（益母草），但种子不同。
子
【气味】味甘，性微温，无毒。
（《神农本草经》上品）
【释名】火麻（出自《日用本草》）、黄麻（俗名）、汉麻（出自《尔雅翼》），雄株名为 麻（出自《诗疏》）、牡麻（同上），雌株名为苴麻（同上）、 麻（音同“字”）。花名为麻 （出自《本经》）、麻勃。
李时珍说：“麻”字由两个“KT”在“广”下组成，像屋下搓麻的形状。“KT”音同“派”，“广”音同“俨”。其余见下文注。所谓汉麻者……
【集解】
【正误】《本经》说： 麻又名麻勃，即麻花上蓬勃生长的部分。七月七日采集最好。麻子九月采集。落入土中的会损害人。生于太山川谷。
陶弘景说： 麻就是牡麻，牡麻就没有果实。现在人们用它做布和鞋。
苏恭说： 麻就是麻实，不是花。《尔雅》说： ，是麻实。《仪礼》说：苴，是有 的麻。注解说：有子的麻叫苴。都说的是种子。陶弘景把 当作麻勃，说是像花一样蓬勃的样子，又重复列出麻子，这是错误的。既然把 列为米谷的上品，花怎么值得吃呢？
藏器说：麻子，早春种植的称为春麻子，小且有剧毒；晚春种植的称为秋麻子，入药好。压榨的油可以用来涂抹物品。
寇宗奭说：麻子，从海东毛罗岛来的，大如莲子，最好；其次出产于上郡、北地的，大如豆子；南方的，种子小。
苏颂说：麻子到处都种，绩其皮来做布。农家选择那些有斑黑纹的种子，称为雌麻，种下去则结子繁多。其他种子则不然。《本经》中 麻和麻子所主治的相同，而麻花不是食物，苏恭的论述似乎是对的。但是《本草》朱笔字说， 麻味辛，麻子味甘，又像是两种东西。怀疑《本草》与《尔雅》、《礼记》称谓有所不同。另外《药性论》使用麻花，说味苦，主治各种风病、女子月经不通。那么 、子、花，是三样东西吗？
李时珍说：大麻就是现在的火麻，也叫黄麻。到处都种，剥麻收子。有雌有雄：雄的是 ，雌的是苴。植株粗大如油麻。叶子狭长，形状像益母草叶，一枝七片或九片叶子。五、六月开细黄花成穗，随即结实，大如胡荽子，可以取油。剥其皮做麻。它的秸秆白色而有棱，轻虚可做烛芯。《齐民要术》说：麻子在放勃时，拔去雄株。如果未放勃就先拔除，就不能结子了。它的种子黑而重，可以捣治做蜡烛。就是这种 。《本经》有 麻、麻子两条，说 就是麻勃，说麻子入土会杀人。苏恭说 是麻子，不是花。苏颂说 、子、花是三样东西。疑惑而不能决断。谨按：《吴普本草》说：麻勃一名麻花，味辛无毒。麻蓝一名麻 ，一名青葛，味辛甘有毒。麻叶有毒，吃了杀人。麻子中的仁无毒，先藏在地下的人，吃了杀人。根据这个说法，麻勃是花， 是实，麻仁是实中的仁。吴普是三国时人，离古不远，说得非常清楚。
《神农本草经》以花为 ，以藏土入土杀人，这些文字都是传抄脱误罢了。陶氏及唐宋诸家，都不考究而臆测疑似，可以说是疏忽了。现在依据吴氏的说法改正如下。
李时珍说：看《齐民要术》有放勃时拔去雄株的文字，那么勃为花是很明显的。
【气味】味辛，性温，无毒。
【主治】一百二十种恶风，全身黑色苦痒，驱逐各种风邪恶血，治疗女子月经不通（《药性论》）。
【发明】陶弘景说：麻勃在方药中少用。术士与人参合服，能预知未来之事。
李时珍说：按：《范汪方》中有治疗健忘的方子：七月七日收麻勃一升，人参二两，研为末，蒸令气遍。每次临睡前服一刀圭，能尽知四方之事。这是治疗健忘，服用后能记住四方之事。陶弘景说预知未来之事，是过言了。另外《外台秘要》说生疔肿的人，忌讳见到麻勃，见了就会死，用胡麻、针砂、烛烬为末，醋调和敷之。不知道麻勃与疔为何相忌？就像有人见漆就生疮一样，这些道理都不明白。

沤麻汁
(Song Dynasty *Tu Jing Ben Cao*)
[Names] Ya Ma (from *Tu Jing*), Bi Shi Hu Ma (from *Ben Cao Gang Mu*).
[Collection and Explanation] Su Song said: Lin Ma Zi (Flaxseed) is produced in Yanzhou and Weisheng Jun. The stems and leaves are all green, and the flowers are white. Collect the fruits for use in early August.
Li Shizhen said: People in Shaanxi also plant it now; this is Bi Shi Hu Ma. Its fruits can also be pressed for oil to light lamps, but the odor is foul and unbearable for consumption. Its stems and spikes resemble Chong Wei (Motherwort), but the seeds are different.
Seeds
[Properties and Flavor] Sweet, slightly warm, non-toxic.
[Indications] Great wind sores and tinea (Su Song).
(*Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing*, Upper Grade)
[Names] Huo Ma (from *Ri Yong Ben Cao*), Huang Ma (common name), Han Ma (from *Er Ya Yi*). Male plants are named Ma (from *Shi Shu*), Mu Ma (ibid.); female plants are named Ju Ma (ibid.), Ma (pronounced "zi"). Flowers are named Ma (from *Ben Jing*), Ma Bo.
Li Shizhen said: The character "Ma" consists of two "KT" under "Guang", resembling the shape of hemp being processed under a roof. "KT" sounds like "Pai", "Guang" sounds like "Yan". See notes below. Regarding Han Ma...
[Collection and Explanation]
[Correction of Errors] *Ben Jing* states: Ma is also called Ma Bo, which refers to the vigorous growth on the hemp flowers. It is best collected on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Hemp seeds are collected in the ninth month. Those that fall into the soil are harmful to humans. It grows in the valleys of Mount Tai.
Tao Hongjing said: Ma is Mu Ma; Mu Ma has no fruit. People now use it to make cloth and shoes.
Su Gong said: Ma is the hemp seed, not the flower. *Er Ya* says: Ma is the hemp seed. *Yi Li* says: Ju is hemp with Ma. The commentary states: Hemp with seeds is called Ju. All refer to the seed. Tao treated Ma as Ma Bo, saying it looks vigorous like a flower, and then repeated the entry for hemp seeds, which is an error. Since Ma is listed as a superior grain, how could flowers be edible?
Zang Qi said: Hemp seeds planted in early spring are called Chun Ma Zi, which are small and highly toxic; those planted in late spring are called Qiu Ma Zi, which are good for medicinal use. The pressed oil can be used to treat objects.
Kou Zongshi said: Hemp seeds from Maoluo Island in the East Sea are as large as lotus seeds and are the best; next are those from Shangjun and Beidi, as large as beans; those from southern regions have small seeds.
Su Song said: Hemp seeds are grown everywhere, and their bark is processed to make cloth. Farmers select seeds with black speckled patterns, calling them female hemp, which produce abundant seeds when planted. Other seeds do not behave this way. The indications for Ma and Hemp Seeds in *Ben Jing* are the same, whereas hemp flowers are not food; Su Gong's discussion seems correct. However, the red-ink text in *Ben Cao* states that Ma tastes pungent while Hemp Seeds taste sweet, suggesting they might be two different things. I suspect there are differences in terminology between *Ben Cao*, *Er Ya*, and *Liji*. Furthermore, *Yao Xing Lun* uses hemp flowers, stating they taste bitter and treat various wind diseases and menstrual obstruction in women. Thus, are Ma, seeds, and flowers three distinct substances?
Li Shizhen said: Da Ma (Cannabis Sativa) is the current Huo Ma, also called Huang Ma. It is grown everywhere; the bark is stripped for fiber and seeds are harvested. There are male and female plants: males are Ma, females are Ju. The stalks are thick like sesame. Leaves are narrow and long, resembling Motherwort leaves, with seven or nine leaves per branch. In May and June, small yellow flowers form spikes and set fruit shortly after, as large as Coriander seeds, from which oil can be extracted. The bark is peeled to make hemp rope. The stalks are white and ridged, light and hollow, suitable for candle wicks. *Qimin Yaoshu* states: When the hemp releases its pollen (Bo), remove the male plants. If removed before pollination, seeds will not form. The seeds are black and heavy, and can be pounded for candle making. This is the substance referred to. *Ben Jing* has separate entries for Ma and Hemp Seeds, stating Ma is Ma Bo and that seeds entering the soil kill people. Su Gong said Ma is the seed, not the flower. Su Song said Ma, seeds, and flowers are three things. Doubts remain unresolved. Carefully examining *Wu Pu Ben Cao*: Ma Bo is also called Ma Hua, pungent and non-toxic. Ma Lan is also called Ma, also called Qing Ge, pungent and sweet, toxic. Hemp leaves are toxic and fatal if eaten. The kernel inside the hemp seed is non-toxic, but those stored underground first are fatal if eaten. Based on this, Ma Bo is the flower, Ma is the seed, and Ma Ren is the kernel within the seed. Wu Pu was a person of the Three Kingdoms period, close to antiquity, and his explanation is very clear.
The errors in *Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing* regarding flowers being Ma and seeds in soil being fatal are due to transcription errors. Tao and scholars of Tang and Song did not investigate thoroughly and speculated erroneously, which is negligent. I now correct this based on Wu's account below.
Ma Bo
Wu Pu said: Also called Ma Hua.
Li Shizhen said: Observing the text in *Qimin Yaoshu* about removing male plants when the hemp releases pollen, it is clear that Bo refers to the flower.
[Properties and Flavor] Pungent, warm, non-toxic.
Zhen Quan said: Bitter, slightly hot, non-toxic. Averse to Oyster Shell. Used in blood-invigorating formulas, with Maggot as the guiding herb.
[Indications] Treats one hundred and twenty kinds of malignant wind, blackened skin with severe itching, expels wind and evil blood, treats menstrual obstruction in women (*Yao Xing Lun*).
Treats forgetfulness and internal leakage from metallic wounds (Li Shizhen).
[Elucidation] Tao Hongjing said: Ma Bo is rarely used in prescriptions. Daoist practitioners combine it with Ginseng to predict future events.
Li Shizhen said: According to *Fan Wang Fang*, there is a prescription for forgetfulness: Collect one sheng of Ma Bo on the seventh day of the seventh month, two liang of Ginseng, pound into powder, steam until vapor penetrates evenly. Take one dao gui before bed; one can know events in all directions. This treats forgetfulness by enabling memory of worldly affairs. Tao's claim of predicting the future is exaggerated. Additionally, *Waitai Miyao* states that patients with carbuncles should avoid seeing Ma Bo, as seeing it causes death; apply a paste of Sesame, Magnetite, and candle residue mixed with vinegar. It is unclear why Ma Bo is contraindicated for carbuncles, similar to how some develop sores upon contact with lacquer; these principles are obscure.
[Attached Prescriptions] One old, two new.
Early-stage Scrofula: Mix equal parts of Hemp Flower (collected on July 7th) and Mugwort Leaf (collected on May 5th), form moxa cones, moxa 100 cones (*Waitai Miyao*).

Ma
Wu Pu said: Also called Ma Lan, also called Qing Ge.
Li Shizhen said: This likely refers to hemp seeds with the husk intact. Thus, there is a slight difference between the Ma provided in the morning offerings in *Zhou Li* and the hemp consumed in *Yueling*, compared to edible/usable Da Ma; the husk is toxic while the kernel is non-toxic.
[Properties and Flavor] Pungent, neutral, toxic.
Wu Pu said: Shen Nong: Pungent. Lei Gong: Sweet. Qibo: Toxic. Averse to Oyster Shell and White Peony Root.
[Indications] Treats five labors and seven injuries. Excessive consumption causes hallucinations of ghosts and狂走 (wild running) (*Ben Jing*. Shen said: To see ghosts, take equal parts of fresh Hemp Seed, Acorus Tatarinowii Rhizome, and Podophyllum Hexandrum, pound into pills the size of bean shots. Take one pill facing the sun every morning. After 100 days, one will see ghosts).

Ma Ren (Hemp Seed Kernel)
[Processing] Kou Zongshi said: Hemp kernels are extremely difficult to dehusk. Wrap in silk, soak in boiling water until cool, remove. Hang in a well overnight, ensuring no water contact. Sun-dry the next day at noon, dehusk on a new tile, winnow to obtain kernels, ensuring each is intact. Zhang Zhongjing's Mahuang Wan uses exactly this kernel from Da Ma seeds.
[Properties and Flavor] Sweet, neutral, non-toxic. Shen said: Slightly cold.
Wu Pu said: Those stored underground first are fatal if eaten.
Shi Liang said: Excessive consumption damages blood vessels, slips essence, and flaccidizes yang qi. Women who consume much may develop leukorrhea. Averse to Oyster Shell and White Peony Root; incompatible with Poria.

Treats wind-stroke with sweating, expels fluid retention, promotes urination, breaks blood stasis, restores blood vessels, treats postpartum conditions in nursing mothers. Washing hair promotes growth and lubrication (*Bie Lu*). Directs qi downward, removes wind-bi and hard skin, brings joy, stir-fry until fragrant, soak in urine, squeeze juice and drink. For dystocia (breech presentation), swallow 14-14 seeds to correct position (Zang Qi). Moistens the five zang organs, benefits large intestine against wind-heat constipation and hot strangury (Shi Liang). Tonifies deficiency and labor, expels all wind pathogens, promotes muscle growth, benefits hair, promotes lactation, stops thirst, induces labor for difficult birth (*Ri Hua*). Make juice and cook porridge to remove wind from five zang organs, moisten lungs, treat joint obstruction, and regrow hair (Meng Shen). Benefits women's meridians, regulates large intestine dysentery. Apply to various sores and leprosy, kill parasites. Juice cooked as porridge stops vomiting (Li Shizhen).
[Elucidation] Tao Hongjing said: Hemp kernels are excellent for pills and brewing wine, but their nature is slippery and purgative.
Liu Wansu said: Hemp is a woody grain that treats wind, following the principle of seeking resonance.
Hao Gu said: Hemp kernel acts on the Hand-Yangming and Foot-Taiyin meridians. Yangming disease with excessive sweating, stomach heat, and difficulty defecating involves dryness; thus, it is used to unblock and moisten.
Cheng Wuji said: The spleen desires relaxation; urgently feed sweet flavors to relax it. The sweetness of Hemp Kernel relaxes the spleen and moistens dryness.
