(《名医别录》记载为有名未用之药)
【释名】菅根(出自《名医别录》)、土筋(含义相同)。
【集解】《名医别录》说:地筋生长在水泽之中,根部有毛。三月发芽生长,四月结出白色果实,于三月三日采集根部。陶弘景说:怀疑这就是白茅,只是略有不同。陈藏器说:地筋像地黄,根和叶都相似,但更细且多毛,生长在平野沼泽地带,功效也与地黄相同,李邕的方剂中使用它。李时珍说:这其实是黄菅茅的根,功效与白茅根相同,详见白茅条目下。陈藏器所说的,是另一种药物。
【气味】味甘,性平,无毒。
【主治】益气止渴,清除腹脐部位的热邪,利筋脉(出自《名医别录》)。根、苗、花,功效与白茅相同(李时珍)。
(出自《新修本草拾遗》)
【校正】并入《新修本草拾遗》中的石芒、败芒箔。
【释名】杜荣(出自《尔雅》)、笆芒(出自《寰宇志》)、笆茅。
李时珍说:芒,《尔雅》中写作“𦰩”。现在民间称为笆茅,因为可以用来做篱笆的缘故。
【集解】陈藏器说:《尔雅》记载:“𦰩,杜荣。”郭璞注释说:草形状像茅,皮可以制作绳索、鞋履等物。现在东方人常把它用作席箔。又说:石芒生长在高山之上,形状像芒草但节短,江西人称它为折草,六、七月长出穗子像荻草一样。李时珍说:芒有两种,都是丛生,叶子都像茅草但较大,长达四、五尺,非常锋利,伤人如同锋刃。七月抽出长茎,开出白花结成穗,像芦苇花的,是芒;五月抽出短茎,开花像芒刺的,是石芒。都在花将要开放时剥取它的箨皮(笋壳/外皮),可以用来制作绳索、席箔、草鞋等物品,其茎穗可以用来制作扫帚。
茎
【气味】味甘,性平,无毒。
【主治】人和牲畜被老虎、野狼等伤害,担心毒素进入体内,取茎混合葛根浓煮汁服用,也可以直接生取汁服用。(陈藏器)。煮汁服用,可以散血(李时珍)。
败芒箔
【主治】产妇血满腹胀痛,血渴,恶露不尽,月经闭止,停止流出好血,排出恶血,去除鬼气、疰痛症结,用酒煎煮后服用。也可以烧成粉末,用酒送服。放置很久、烟熏过的效果更佳(陈藏器)。
(Recorded in *Bielu* as a substance with name but unutilized)
[Names] Jian Gen (from *Bielu*), Tu Jin (same meaning).
[Collection of Explanations] *Bielu* states: Di Jin grows in marshes, with hairy roots. It sprouts in the third lunar month, bears white fruit in the fourth, and the roots are harvested on the third day of the third month. Tao Hongjing says: I suspect this is actually Bai Mao (Imperata cylindrica), merely slightly different. Chen Cangqi says: Di Jin resembles Di Huang (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata); its roots and leaves are similar, but finer and hairier. It grows in flat marshes, and its efficacy is also the same as Di Huang; it is used in Li Yong's prescriptions. Li Shizhen says: This is actually the root of Huang Jian Mao (a type of Imperata). Its efficacy is the same as Bai Mao Gen (Rhizoma Imperatae Cylindricae); see details under Bai Mao. What Chen Cangqi described is a different substance.
[Flavor and Toxicity] Sweet, neutral, non-toxic.
[Main Indications] Tonifies Qi, relieves thirst, clears heat in the abdomen and umbilical region, benefits sinews (from *Bielu*). The roots, shoots, and flowers have the same efficacy as Bai Mao (Li Shizhen).
(From *Shiyi*)
[Correction] Merged into Shi Mang and Bai Mang Bo from *Shiyi*.
[Names] Du Rong (from *Erya*), Ba Mang (from *Huanyuzhi*), Ba Mao.
Li Shizhen says: "Mang" is written as "𦰩" in *Erya*. Currently, it is commonly called Ba Mao because it can be used for fences.
[Collection of Explanations] Chen Cangqi says: *Erya* records: "𦰩, Du Rong." Guo Pu's annotation states: The grass resembles Mao (Miscanthus or Imperata), and its bark can be made into ropes and shoes. People in the East often use it as mats. He also says: Shi Mang grows in high mountains, resembling Mang grass but with shorter nodes. In Jiangxi, it is called Zhe Cao. It produces ears like Di in the sixth and seventh months. Li Shizhen says: There are two types of Mang, both growing in clumps. The leaves resemble those of Mao but are larger, reaching four to five chi in length, very sharp, injuring people like blades. In the seventh lunar month, long stems emerge, bearing white flowers in spikes, resembling reed flowers; this is Mang. In the fifth lunar month, short stems emerge, bearing flowers like thorns; this is Shi Mang. When the flowers are about to bloom, peel off their sheaths (husks) to make ropes, mats, straw sandals, etc. The stems and ears can be used to make brooms.
Stems
[Flavor and Toxicity] Sweet, neutral, non-toxic.
[Main Indications] For injuries to humans or livestock caused by tigers, wild wolves, etc., fearing toxin entry, take the stems mixed with Ge Gen (Puerariae Radix), boil them thickly to extract juice, and drink it. Alternatively, extract fresh juice directly (Chen Cangqi). Drinking the boiled juice disperses blood stasis (Li Shizhen).
Bai Mang Bo
[Main Indications] For postpartum abdominal distension and pain due to blood accumulation, blood-thirst, incomplete expulsion of lochia, amenorrhea, stopping the flow of good blood, expelling bad blood, removing ghost qi, zhu pain, and pathological masses. Decoct with wine and take. Alternatively, burn to ash, take with wine. Those that have been aged and smoked for a long time are superior (Chen Cangqi).
