【集解】恭曰∶椿、樗二树形相似，但樗木疏、椿木实为别也。
颂曰∶二木南北皆有之。形干大抵相类，但椿木实而叶香可啖，樗木疏而气臭，膳夫亦
能熬去其气，并采无时。樗木最为无用，《庄子》所谓“吾有大木，人谓之樗，其本拥肿不

生山中，因名。亦类漆树。俗语云∶ 、樗、栲、漆，相似
田樗无异，叶差狭尔。吴人以叶为茗。
宗 曰∶椿、樗皆臭，但一种有花结子，一种无花不实。世以无花而木身大，其干端直
者为椿，椿木用叶。其有花、荚而木身小，干多迂矮者为樗，樗用根及荚、叶。又虫部有樗
鸡，不言椿鸡，以显有鸡者为樗，无鸡者为椿。古人命名其义甚明。禹锡曰∶樗之有花者无
荚，有荚者无花。其荚夏月常生臭樗上，未见椿上有荚者。然世俗不辨椿、樗之异，故呼樗
荚为椿荚尔。时珍曰∶椿、樗、栲，乃一木三种也。椿木皮细肌实而赤，嫩叶香甘可茹。樗
木皮粗肌虚而白，其叶臭恶，歉年人或采食。栲木即樗之生山中者，木亦虚大，梓人亦或用

【校正】将本条并入《嘉祐本草》的“椿荚”条目中。
【释名】气味香的称为椿（《集韵》写作“樔”，《夏书》写作“樔”，《左传》写作“樔”），气味臭的称为樗（读音同“丑居切”。也写作“KT”）。生长在山中的樗称为栲（音“考”）。
李时珍说：椿和樗容易生长且寿命长，所以有椿、栲的名称。《庄子》中说“大椿以八千岁为春，八千岁为秋”，说的就是这种树。
椿树气味香而樗树气味臭，所以“椿”字又写作“樔”，是因为它的气味浓郁。“KT”字从“臭”，是因为它的气味难闻，人们会捂住鼻子呵斥它。樗也是由椿的音转而来。
【集解】苏恭说：椿和樗两种植物的形状相似，区别在于樗木疏松、椿木坚实。
苏颂说：这两种树南北都有分布。树干形态大致相同，只是椿木坚实且叶子香可以食用，樗木疏松且气味臭，厨师也能通过熬煮去除其臭味，采摘没有固定时间。樗木最为无用，正如《庄子》中所说：“我有一棵大树，人们叫它樗，它的树干臃肿不符合墨线标准，小枝弯曲不符合圆规规矩。”《尔雅》说：栲是山樗。郭璞注释说：栲类似樗，颜色白小，生长在山中，因此得名。它也类似漆树。俗语说：樔、樗、栲、漆，这四种树相似，只有樗的叶子稍微狭长一些。吴地人用樗叶做茶喝。
寇宗奭说：椿和樗都有臭味，但一种开花结子，一种不开花不结果。世人把不开花但树干高大的，干直的叫椿，椿主要用叶。把开花、结荚但树干小，干多弯曲矮小的叫樗，樗主要用根及荚、叶。另外虫部中有“樗鸡”，没说“椿鸡”，以此显示有樗鸡的是樗，没有的是椿。古人命名的含义很明确。禹锡说：樗开花的没有荚，有荚的不开花。它的荚在夏天常长在臭樗上，没见椿上有荚的。然而世俗人不分辨椿和樗的区别，所以把樗荚叫做椿荚罢了。李时珍说：椿、樗、栲，其实是一棵树三种形态。椿木皮细肉实且呈红色，嫩叶香甘可以吃。樗木皮粗肉虚且呈白色，叶子臭恶，荒年人们有时采集食用。栲木就是生长在山中的樗，木头也虚大，木匠有时也用。但是抓起来像腐朽一样，所以古人认为是不成材的木头，不像椿木坚实，可以做栋梁。
【气味】味苦，性温，有小毒。
孟诜说：椿芽多吃会动风，熏蒸十二经脉、五脏六腑，使人神志昏沉、气血微弱。如果和猪肉、热面一起吃，容易导致中焦胀满，这是因为堵塞了经络。
【主治】煮水外洗，治疗疮疥风疽。樗树的木根、叶子效果尤其好（出自《唐本草》）。治疗白秃疮不长头发，取椿、桃、楸树的叶心捣汁，频繁涂抹患处。
【修治】陶弘景说：凡是使用椿根，不以靠近西头者为上品。采出后拌入生葱蒸半天，切碎，用袋子装好挂在房屋南面，阴干后使用。
李时珍说：椿、樗的木皮、根皮，都要刮去粗皮，阴干，临时切片焙干后入药。
【气味】味苦，性温，无毒。
朱震亨说：凉而燥。
【主治】治疗小儿疳积，樗根效果尤佳（出自《唐本草》）。去除口鼻疳虫，杀灭蛔虫、疥虫，治疗鬼疰传尸蛊毒引起的下血，以及赤白久痢（出自陈藏器）。配合地榆，可止疳痢（出自萧炳）。治疗腹泻不止，肠滑泄泻，小便频数。蜜炙后使用（出自大明）。通利小便涩痛（出自雷敩）。治疗精滑梦遗，下部干燥兼有湿邪，去除肺胃陈旧积滞之痰（出自朱震亨）。
【发明】孟诜说：女子血崩，以及产后出血不止，月经量多，以及赤白带下。宜取向东生长的细椿根一大把洗净，用水一升煮取汁液，分次服用即可止血。小儿疳痢，也宜多服。仍取白皮一把，粳米五十粒，葱白一把，炙甘草三寸，豆豉两合，水一升，煮至半升，酌情服用。枝叶功效都相同。
根白皮，性凉且具有收敛止血作用。凡是湿热引起的疾病，如泻痢、浊带、精滑梦遗等症状，无不使用它来清除肺胃陈旧痰浊的功效。治疗泄泻，有除湿实肠的作用。但是痢疾气滞未尽者，不可立即使用。宜制成丸散，也可以煎服，未见有害处。我每次用它炒研糊丸，根据病情作汤剂使用，名叫固肠丸。
椿皮色白而臭，多吃会让人轻微腹泻。大概椿皮入血分而性涩，樗皮入气分。功效虽然相同，但涩利效果则不同，正如茯苓、芍药，赤白之分颇不相同。凡是血分受病不足者，宜用椿皮；气分受病有郁结者，宜用樗皮，这是我心得到的微妙之处。《乾坤生意》治疗疮疡，用樗皮汁，服用二三碗，取利数次，就是验证了。所以陈藏器说樗皮有小毒。
有一个阳姓女人，年龄四十六七岁，贪饮无度，多吃鱼蟹，体内蓄积毒素，日夜二三十次排泄物混杂而下，大肠连肛门疼痛不堪忍受。医生用治血痢的药无效，用治肠风的药则更严重，因为肠风是有血无脓。这样半年多，气血逐渐虚弱，食欲减退肌肉消瘦。服热药则腹痛加剧，出血更多；服冷药则注泄食减，服温平药则病不知好转。这样过了一年，命悬一线等待死亡。有人教她服用人参散，一服见效，二服减轻，三服脓血皆定，于是常服而痊愈。该方治疗大肠风虚，饮酒过度，挟热下痢脓血痛甚，多日不愈。用樗根白皮一两，人参一两。研为末。每服二钱，空腹温酒调服，米饮也可。忌油腻、湿面、青菜、果子、甜物、鸡、猪、鱼、羊、蒜、薤等。
【附方】旧方六首，新方十一首。

[Correction] This entry is merged into the "Toona Pods" (Chun Jia) entry in *Jiayou Bencao* (Bencao of the Jiayou Era).
[Names] The fragrant variety is called Chun (written as "Chao" in *Jiyun*, "Chao" in *Xia Shu*, and "Chao" in *Zuo Zhuan*). The foul-smelling variety is called Chu (pronounced like "chou ju qie". Also written as "KT"). The wild Chu growing in mountains is called Kao.
Li Shizhen said: Chun and Chu grow easily and have long lifespans, hence the names Chun and Kao. The *Zhuangzi* states, "The Great Chun takes eight thousand years as a spring and eight thousand years as an autumn," referring to this tree.
Chun is fragrant while Chu is foul-smelling. Thus, the character for Chun is also written as "Chao," indicating its strong aroma. The character "KT" derives from "stink," reflecting its offensive odor that causes people to hold their noses. "Chu" is likely a phonetic shift from "Chun."
[Collected Explanations] Su Gong said: The shapes of Chun and Chu trees are similar; the distinction lies in Chu wood being loose and Chun wood being solid.
Su Song said: Both trees are found in the north and south. Their trunks and forms are largely similar, but Chun wood is solid with fragrant leaves edible by humans, whereas Chu wood is loose with a foul odor. Cooks can remove the odor by boiling. They can be harvested at any time. Chu wood is considered useless, as described in the *Zhuangzi*: "I have a large tree, people call it Chu; its trunk is knotty and does not fit the carpenter's line, and its branches are twisted and do not fit the compass or square." The *Erya* states: "Kao is mountain Chu." Guo Pu noted: "Kao resembles Chu, has a whitish color, grows in mountains, and gets its name from there. It also resembles the lacquer tree." Folk sayings state: Chao, Chu, Kao, and Lacquer are similar, with Chu leaves being slightly narrower. People in Wu use Chu leaves as tea.
Kou Zongshi said: Both Chun and Chu have odors, but one flowers and fruits, while the other does not. People define Chun as having no flowers but a large, straight trunk, using its leaves. Chu is defined as flowering and fruiting with a smaller, crooked trunk, using its roots, pods, and leaves. In the insect section, there is "Chu Ji" (a type of insect/bird), but no "Chun Ji," distinguishing Chu (with the insect) from Chun (without). Ancient naming was clear. Yuxi said: Chu that flowers does not bear pods; those with pods do not flower. Its pods often grow on foul-smelling Chu in summer, never seen on Chun. However, common people do not distinguish between Chun and Chu, calling Chu pods "Chun pods." Li Shizhen said: Chun, Chu, and Kao are three forms of one tree. Chun wood has fine skin, solid flesh, and is reddish; tender leaves are fragrant and sweet. Chu wood has coarse skin, hollow flesh, and is white; leaves are foul; people eat them in famine years. Kao is wild Chu; the wood is large and hollow, sometimes used by carpenters. It feels rotten to the touch, so ancients deemed it unuseable timber, unlike solid Chun wood suitable for beams.
[Aroma and Toxicity] Bitter, warm, slightly toxic.
Meng Shen said: Eating too many Chun buds induces wind, affecting the twelve meridians and five zang and six fu organs, causing mental confusion and weak qi and blood. Consuming it frequently with pork or hot noodles causes abdominal fullness due to meridian obstruction.
[Therapeutic Actions] Boiled water washes treat sores, scabies, and wind-induced ulcers. Chu roots and leaves are particularly effective (*Tang Bencao*). For alopecia capitis (white baldness) where hair fails to grow, crush the hearts of Chun, Peach, and Catalpa leaves to extract juice and apply frequently.
[Preparation] Tao Hongjing said: For Chun roots, those not near the west end are superior. After harvesting, mix with raw green onions, steam for half a day, cut finely, place in a bag, hang on the south side of the house, and dry in shade.
Li Shizhen said: Bark and root bark of Chun and Chu should have the rough outer layer scraped off, dried in shade, sliced, and roasted before use.
[Aroma and Toxicity] Bitter, warm, non-toxic.
Li Xun said: Slightly hot.
Zhu Zhenheng said: Cool and drying.
Chen Cangqi said: Chu roots are slightly toxic.
Li Shizhen said: Chu roots can neutralize sulfur, arsenic, and gold.
[Therapeutic Actions] Treats pediatric malnutrition (gan accumulation); Chu roots are best (*Tang Bencao*). Removes oral/nasal gan parasites, kills roundworms and scabies mites, treats ghostly transmission diseases (gui zhu chuan shi), gu poison, hematochezia, and chronic dysentery with red and white discharge (Chen Cangqi). Combined with Sanguisorba officinalis (Di Yu), it stops gan dysentery (Xiao Bing). Stops diarrhea, intestinal slipping, and frequent urination. Honey-fried for use (Da Ming). Relieves difficult urination (Lei Xiao). Treats seminal emission during dreams, dryness below with dampness, and removes old phlegm accumulations in the lungs and stomach (Zhu Zhenheng).
[Elucidation] Meng Shen said: For women with metrorrhagia, postpartum bleeding, heavy menstruation, and red/white leukorrhea, take a handful of thin Chun roots growing eastward, wash clean, boil in one sheng of water to extract juice, and divide doses to stop bleeding. Pediatric gan dysentery also benefits from frequent use. Take a handful of white bark, 50 grains of japonica rice, a handful of white parts of green onions, three cun of honey-fried licorice, two he of fermented soybeans, boil one sheng of water to half a sheng, and take according to judgment. Branches and leaves have similar functions.
Root white bark is cool and astringent, stopping bleeding. It is used for all conditions caused by damp-heat, such as dysentery, turbid leukorrhea, and seminal emission, to clear old phlegm from lungs and stomach. It treats diarrhea by removing dampness and firming the intestines. However, it should not be used immediately if dysentery qi stagnation is not resolved. It is suitable for pills and powders, or decoctions, without harm. I usually stir-fry and powder it, making pills with paste, or use it in decoctions based on the syndrome, named Gut Chang Wan (Intestine-Firming Pill).
Chun bark is white and foul-smelling; excessive use causes mild laxative effects. Chun bark enters the blood level and is astringent, while Chu bark enters the qi level. Although functions are similar, their astringent and purgative effects differ, much like the difference between Poria (Fu Ling) and Peony (Shao Yao), or red and white varieties. For diseases deficient in blood level, use Chun bark; for diseases with qi level depression, use Chu bark. This is my subtle insight. *Qiankun Shengyi* treats sores by drinking Chu bark juice; taking two or three bowls results in several bowel movements, verifying its efficacy. Hence, Chen Cangqi stated Chu bark is slightly toxic.
A woman surnamed Yang, aged forty-six or seven, drank excessively and ate fish and crabs, accumulating toxins in her viscera. She had twenty to thirty episodes daily of mixed excrement, with unbearable pain in the large intestine and anus. Doctors' hemostatic drugs failed; intestinal wind drugs worsened it because intestinal wind involves blood without pus. After over half a year, qi and blood weakened, appetite decreased, and muscles wasted. Hot medicines increased pain and bleeding; cold medicines caused watery diarrhea and reduced intake; warm-neutral medicines showed no effect. After a year, she awaited death. Someone advised Ren Shen San (Ginseng Powder). One dose improved symptoms, two reduced them, three stopped pus and blood. Continuous use led to recovery. This formula treats large intestine wind-deficiency, excessive alcohol intake, heat-carrying dysentery with pus/blood/pain, and chronic non-healing cases. Use Chu root white bark (1 liang) and Ginseng (1 liang). Powder. Take 2 qian per dose, warm wine or rice drink on an empty stomach. Avoid greasy food, wet noodles, vegetables, fruits, sweets, chicken, pork, fish, mutton, garlic, and shallots.
[Attached Formulas] Six old, eleven new.
Remove ghostly qi: Cut a handful of Chu root bark finely, soak overnight in two sheng of urine from a healthy boy and one he of fermented soybeans. Strain and boil once. Take every three to five days (*Bencao* by Chen Cangqi).
Pediatric gan disease: Two liang of dried Chun white bark, powdered. Mix with thick juice of washed millet to make pills the size of sophora seeds. Ten-year-olds take three or four pills with rice drink, adjusting for age.
