(宋代《开宝本草》记载)
【校正】从木部移至本类。并入《名医别录》中仅有名称未入药用的“丁公寄”、以及《本草图经》中的“石南藤”。
【释名】石南藤(出自《本草图经》)、丁公藤(出自《开宝本草》)、丁公寄(出自《名医别录》)、丁父(出自《名医别录》)、风藤。
苏颂说:生长在依附南方树木的地方,所以称为南藤。
陈藏器说:丁公寄,就是丁公藤。起初因为丁公使用此药有效,因此得名。
【集解】《名医别录》记载:丁公寄生在石缝间,蔓延生长于树木之上。叶片细小,大枝茎干呈红色,根部粗大如碛黄(一种黄色矿物或植物根),含有汁液。七月七日采收。
苏颂说:南藤,就是丁公藤。产于南山山谷,如今泉州、荣州有出产。生长依附于向南的树木,茎干像马鞭一样,有节,呈紫褐色,叶片像杏叶但尖端更尖。随时可以采收。又说:天台石南藤,四季不凋谢。当地人采集其叶片,治疗腰痛。
李时珍说:如今江南、湖南等地的许多大山中有这种植物。细藤圆润细腻,呈紫绿色,一节生一叶。叶片深绿色,似杏叶但稍短且浓密。其茎干贴附树木处,有小紫瘤疣,中间有小孔。四季不凋谢,茎叶都有臭味且极其辛辣。白花蛇食用它的叶子。
【气味】辛味,温性,无毒。《名医别录》记载:味甘。
【主治】金疮疼痛。延年益寿(《名医别录》)。主治风血病,补益衰老,起阳强筋,强健腰脚,祛除痹症,使白发变黑,驱逐冷气,排除风邪。煮汁服用,冬季浸泡酒服用(陈藏器)。煮汁服用,治疗上气咳嗽(李时珍)。
【发明】苏颂说:按《南史》记载:解叔谦,是雁门人。母亲生病,夜间祈祷,听到空中有人说:得到丁公藤治疗即可痊愈。寻访医生及查阅本草都没有这种药。到了宜都山中,看见一位老翁砍树,说是丁公藤,能治疗风疾。于是跪拜哭泣请求。老翁并教给他泡酒的方法。接受完毕后,找不到老翁所在之处了。母亲服用后病就好了。
李时珍说:近来民间医生治疗各种风疾,将南藤与其他药物一起熬制成膏出售,称为南藤膏。白花蛇喜欢食用它的叶子,所以治疗各种风疾尤其快捷。
【附录】烈节(宋代《本草图经》记载)
苏颂说:产于荣州,多生长在竹林丛林中。春天生出蔓苗,茎叶都像丁公藤,但纤细无花实。九月采收茎干,晒干。味辛,温性,无毒。主治肢节风冷,筋脉拘急疼痛。煎汤洗浴效果佳。
李时珍说:杨氏《家藏经验方》中有烈节酒,治疗历节风痛。用烈节、松节、牛膝、熟地黄、当归各一两。捣成粗末,用绢袋装好,用无灰酒二百盏,浸泡三天。每次用一盏,加入生酒一盏,温服。表弟武东叔,二十多岁,患此痛不可忍受。涪城马东之,用此方治疗而痊愈。
(Song Dynasty *Kaibao Bencao*)
[Correction] Moved from the Wood Section to this section. Also incorporated "Dinggongji" (Ding Gong's Parasite), which had names but was not used in medicine according to *Bielu*, and "Shinanteng" (Stone South Vine) from *Tujing*.
[Names] Shinanteng (from *Tujing*), Dinggongteng (from *Kaibao Bencao*), Dinggongji (from *Bielu*), Dingfu (from *Bielu*), Fengteng.
Su Song stated: It grows by clinging to southern trees, hence the name Nanteng (Southern Vine).
Chen Cangqi stated: Dinggongji is Dinggongteng. It originally got its name because Ding Gong used it effectively.
[Collection and Explanation] *Bielu* states: Dinggongji parasitizes on rocks and spreads over trees. The leaves are fine, the large branches have red stems, and the root is as thick as Qi Huang (a yellow mineral/root) and contains juice. Harvested on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.
Su Song stated: Nanteng is Dinggongteng. It grows in the valleys of Mount Nan and is now found in Quanzhou and Rongzhou. It grows clinging to south-facing trees; the stem is like a horsewhip, jointed, purple-brown, and the leaves resemble apricot leaves but are pointed. It can be harvested at any time. He also said: Tiantai Shinanteng does not wither in all four seasons. Locals harvest its leaves to treat lower back pain.
Li Shizhen stated: It is now found in many large mountains in Jiangnan and Hunan. The thin vines are round and smooth, purple-green, with one leaf per node. The leaves are dark green, resembling apricot leaves but slightly shorter and denser. Where the stem attaches to the tree, there are small purple warts with tiny holes inside. It remains evergreen throughout the year; both stems and leaves have an odor and are extremely pungent/spicy. White-spotted snakes eat its leaves.
[Flavor and Properties] Pungent, Warm, Non-toxic. *Bielu* states: Sweet.
[Indications] Treats wounds from metal instruments and pain. Promotes longevity (*Bielu*). Treats wind-blood disorders, tonifies the aged, raises Yang, strengthens waist and legs, dispels Bi syndrome (painful obstruction), turns white hair black, drives out cold qi, and expels wind pathogens. Decocted in water for oral administration; or soaked in wine for winter consumption (Chen Cangqi). Decocted in water for oral administration to treat upper jiao Qi rebellion and cough (Li Shizhen).
[Elucidation] Su Song stated: According to *Nanshi*: Xie Shuqian, a man from Yanmen, had a sick mother. He prayed at night and heard a voice from the sky say: "Obtain Dinggongteng to treat her, and she will recover." He consulted doctors and herbal texts but could not find this herb. In the mountains of Yidu, he saw an old man cutting wood, who said it was Dinggongteng, effective for treating wind diseases. Xie bowed and wept, begging for it. The old man showed him the method for soaking it in wine. After receiving it, the old man disappeared. His mother took it and recovered.
Li Shizhen stated: Recently, folk physicians treat various wind diseases by decocting Nanteng with other herbs into a paste for sale, called Nanteng Gao. Since white-spotted snakes favor eating its leaves, it is particularly effective for treating various wind diseases.
[Appendix] Liejie (Recorded in Song *Tujing*)
Su Song stated: It grows in Rongzhou, mostly in bamboo forests. Vines sprout in spring; stems and leaves resemble Dinggongteng but are slender without flowers or fruits. Stems are harvested in September and sun-dried. Flavor is pungent, Warm, Non-toxic. Treats wind-cold in limbs and joints, and acute pain in tendons and vessels. Bathing with the decoction is excellent.
Li Shizhen stated: Yang's *Jiacang Jingyan Fang* contains Liejie Jiu (Liejie Wine) for treating Lijie Wind Pain (Rheumatoid Arthritis-like condition). It uses Liejie, Songjie (Pine Joint), Niuxi (Achyranthes Root), Shudihuang (Prepared Rehmannia Root), and Danggui (Angelica Sinensis), each 1 liang. Ground into coarse powder, placed in a silk bag, and soaked in 200 chan of non-ash wine for three days. Take one chan per dose, add one chan of raw wine, and take warm. My cousin Wu Dongshu, in his early twenties, suffered unbearable pain from this condition. Ma Dongzhi of Fucheng treated him with this formula, and he recovered.
