藤饮之，多暴死，乃止。抚内惭，乃请求药牢山，遂逃去。今书此以备世疑。
时珍曰∶按∶千岁 ，原无常春之名。惟陈藏器《本草》土鼓藤下言李邕名为常春藤，

（出自《本草拾遗》）
【释名】滂藤。
【集解】陈藏器说：生长在吴郡。藤蔓幼苗时期像络石，蔓延缠绕在树木上。山中人取枫树上的这种藤使用，其用意也如同桑上寄生一样。忌讳采集坟墓墓地间的藤。隋朝稠禅师制作青饮进献给隋炀帝以止渴的，就是这种藤。
茎、叶
【气味】味苦，性小温，无毒。
【主治】治疗各种血证、各种气滞、各种寒证，主要治疗风邪与血瘀导致的腰脚疼痛，去除百病。长期服用可以延年益寿，使头发变白者复黑且不老。将藤锉细，浸泡在酒中饮用（陈藏器）。
（出自《本草拾遗》）
【释名】土鼓藤（《本草拾遗》）、龙鳞薜荔（《日华子本草》）。
陈藏器说：小孩子取它的藤，在地上敲打发出鼓声，所以名叫土鼓。李邕将其改名为常春藤。
【集解】陈藏器说：生长在树林草丛间，作蔓生状缠绕在草木之上。叶子尖端。结出的果实正圆，成熟时像珍珠，呈碧绿色。
【气味】茎叶：味苦；果实：味甘，性温，无毒。
【主治】治疗因风邪和血瘀导致的身体瘦弱衰老，腹内各种寒凝血闭，强壮腰脚，使白发变黑。煮服或浸酒饮用都适宜（陈藏器）。凡是各种痈疽肿毒初起，取一把茎叶，研磨出汁液，混合酒温服，能排出体内的恶浊之物，去除病根（李时珍引《外科精要》）。
【附方】新收录两则。
疔疮黑色凹陷：用发绳扎住患处，将尖叶薜荔捣汁，混合一盏蜂蜜服用。外用葱和蜜捣烂敷在四周。（《圣惠方》）
鼻出血不止：龙鳞薜荔，研磨后加水饮用。（《圣济录》）
（出自《神农本草经·别录》上品）
【校正】并入原属“有名未用”类别的《别录》中的千岁藤根。
【释名】芜（《别录》）、苣瓜（《本草拾遗》）。
陈藏器说：这种藤冬天只凋落叶子，大的藤蔓盘曲厚实，所以叫千岁藤。
【集解】《别录》说：千岁藤生长在山川河谷。
陶弘景说：藤蔓生长像葡萄，叶子像鬼桃，蔓延在木头上，汁液白色。现在世俗医生开方用药都不认识和使用它，《仙经》多处需要用到它。
陈藏器说：藤蔓像葛藤，叶子背面白色，果实红色，枝条中有白色汁液。陆玑《草木疏》说：一名苣瓜。沿着边缘蔓生，藤蔓白色，果实红色可食用，味道酸但不美味。幽州人叫它推藤。《毛诗》中说葛，注解说像葛的草。苏恭认为这是另一种植物，是非常错误的言论。
苏颂说：到处都有。藤蔓生长，蔓延在木头上，叶子像葡萄但较小。四月采摘其茎，汁液白色而味道甘甜。五月开花。七月结果实。八月采集种子，青色微红。冬天只凋落叶子。春夏间取汁液使用。陶弘景和陈藏器两位先生的说法是正确的。
寇宗奭说：唐开元末年，寻访隐士姜抚，年龄几百岁。召至集贤院，他说服用常春藤能使白发变黑，实现长生。这种藤生长在太湖、终南山。皇帝派遣使者大量采集，赏赐给老臣。下诏天下让人自行寻找。提拔姜抚为银青光禄大夫，号冲和先生。又说终南山有旱藕，食用它可以延年益寿，形状类似葛粉。皇帝取来制作汤饼，赏赐给大臣。右骁骑将军甘守诚说：常春藤就是千岁藤。旱藕就是牡蒙。医家长久不使用，所以姜抚改名来神化它。百姓用酒浸泡藤饮用，很多人突然死亡，才停止。姜抚内心惭愧，于是请求去药牢山，就逃走了。现在记录这些以备世人疑惑。
李时珍说：按：千岁藤，原本没有常春藤的名字。只有陈藏器《本草》在土鼓藤下说李邕命名为常春藤，浸酒服用，可使瘦弱者变白。那么姜抚所用的乃是土鼓藤。它的叶子与千岁藤不同，或许是名字相同罢了。

(From *Bencao Shiyi* [Supplement to Materia Medica])
[Names] Pang Teng.
[Collection and Explanation] Chen Zangqi stated: It grows in Wu Jun (modern-day Suzhou area). When the vine seedlings are young, they resemble *Trachelospermum jasminoides* (Luo Shi), spreading and climbing over trees. Mountain people use those growing on maple trees; its usage intent is similar to that of *Viscum coloratum* (Sang Shang Ji Sheng). One should avoid harvesting vines from tombs and graveyards. In the Sui Dynasty, Chan Master Zhou made a green drink presented to Emperor Yang of Sui to quench thirst; this was it.
Stems and Leaves
[Flavor and Properties] Bitter, slightly warm, non-toxic.
[Indications] Treats all blood disorders, all qi stagnations, and all cold conditions. Primarily treats wind-blood stasis causing lower back and leg pain, eliminating myriad diseases. Long-term consumption extends life span, turns white hair black, and prevents aging. Finely chop, soak in wine, and drink (Chen Zangqi).
(From *Bencao Shiyi* [Supplement to Materia Medica])
[Names] Tu Gu Teng (Earth Drum Vine) (*Bencao Shiyi*), Long Lin Bi Li (Dragon Scale Fig) (*Rihua Bencao*).
Chen Zangqi stated: Children take its vines and beat them on the ground to make drum sounds, hence the name Earth Drum. Li Yong renamed it Chang Chun Teng (Evergreen Ivy).
[Collection and Explanation] Chen Zangqi stated: It grows among forests and thickets, twining around plants and trees. Its leaves have pointed tips. It bears round fruits that resemble pearls when ripe, with a jade-green color.
[Flavor and Properties] Stems and leaves: Bitter; Fruits: Sweet, warm, non-toxic.
[Indications] Treats frailty and old age caused by wind and blood stasis, various cold-blood clots in the abdomen, strengthens the waist and legs, and turns white hair black. Boiling for decoction or soaking in wine are both suitable (Chen Zangqi). For any initial stage of carbuncles, ulcers, swellings, and toxic sores, take a handful of stems and leaves, grind them to extract juice, mix with wine, and take warm. This promotes the discharge of foul matter and removes the root cause of the disease (Li Shizhen citing *Waike Jingyao* [Essentials of Surgery]).
[Attached Prescriptions] Two new prescriptions.
Carbuncle with black depression: Tie a hair rope tightly around the affected area. Crush the juice from the pointed-leaf fig leaves, mix with one cup of honey, and ingest. Externally, crush scallions and honey and apply around the periphery (*Shenghui Fang* [Holy Healing Formulas]).
Persistent epistaxis: Grind Long Lin Bi Li, mix with water, and drink (*Shengji Lu* [Record of Holy Relief]).
(From *Shennong Bencao Jing*, Bie Lu Upper Grade)
[Correction] Merged with the "Name Known but Unused" entry from *Bie Lu*: Root of Qiansui Teng.
[Names] Wu (*Bie Lu*), Ju Gua (*Bencao Shiyi*).
Chen Zangqi stated: This vine only sheds its leaves in winter. The larger ones are thick and sprawling, hence named Qiansui Teng (Thousand-Year Vine).
[Collection and Explanation] *Bie Lu* states: Qiansui Teng grows in mountains and valleys.
Tao Hongjing stated: It grows as a vine like grapes, leaves resemble *Prunus davidiana* (Gui Tao), spreads over trees, and has white sap. Currently, secular physicians do not recognize or use it in prescriptions, though several places in *Xianjing* [Daoist Immortal Classics] require it.
Chen Zangqi stated: The vines resemble *Pueraria lobata* (Ge Gen), leaves are white underneath, fruits are red, and branches contain white sap. Lu Ji's *Caomu Shu* [Classification of Plants and Trees] says: Also known as Ju Gua. It grows along edges, vines are white, red fruits are edible, sour but not delicious. People in Youzhou call it Tui Teng. *Mao Shi* [Book of Songs] mentions Ge, with annotations saying it is a grass resembling Ge. Su Gong claimed it was a different plant, which is a profound error.
Su Song stated: It is found everywhere. It grows as a vine, spreading over trees, leaves are like grape leaves but smaller. In April, harvest stems; sap is white and sweet. Flowers bloom in May. Fruits set in July. Seeds are harvested in August, dark green with slight redness. Only leaves shed in winter. Sap is used in spring and summer. The descriptions by Tao and Chen are accurate.
Kou Zongshi stated: At the end of the Kaiyuan era of Tang Dynasty, an hermit named Jiang Fu was sought out, aged nearly a hundred years. He was summoned to Jixian Yuan, stating that consuming Evergreen Ivy turns white hair black and achieves longevity. The vine grows in Taihu and Zhongnan Mountains. The Emperor sent envoys to collect large quantities to bestow upon elderly ministers. An edict ordered everyone to seek it themselves. Jiang Fu was promoted to Silver Qing Guanglu Daifu, titled Chonghe Xiansheng. He also mentioned "Dry Lotus Root" in Zhongnan Mountain, which extends life and resembles Pueraria powder. The Emperor had it made into noodle soup and bestowed it on high officials. General Gan Shoucheng said: Evergreen Ivy is actually Qiansui Teng. Dry Lotus Root is actually *Euphorbia lathyris* (Mu Meng). Physicians had long stopped using these, so Jiang Fu changed their names to mystify them. Commoners soaked the vine in wine and drank it, resulting in many sudden deaths, so the practice was stopped. Ashamed internally, Jiang Fu requested to go to Yaolao Mountain and fled. This is recorded here to address worldly doubts.
Li Shizhen stated: According to records: Qiansui Teng originally did not have the name Evergreen Ivy. Only in Chen Zangqi's *Bencao*, under Tu Gu Teng, it is stated that Li Yong named it Evergreen Ivy, soaked in wine, turning the frail white. Thus, what Jiang Fu used was Tu Gu Teng. Its leaves differ from Qiansui Teng; perhaps the names were confused.
[Correction of Errors] See Fruit Section below.
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet, neutral, non-toxic.
[Indications] Tonifies the five zang organs, benefits qi, reinforces sinews and bones, promotes muscle growth, eliminates various bi syndromes. Long-term consumption lightens the body, prevents hunger, enhances resistance to aging, and clarifies the mind/spirit (*Bie Lu*).
Root
[Indications] Relaxes sinews, preventing pain (*Bie Lu*).
