（《纲目》）
【释名】时珍曰∶古者编竹炙青书字，谓之汗青，故简策字皆从竹。至秦汉间以缯帛
书事，谓之幡纸，故纸字从糸，或从巾也。从氏，谐声也。刘熙《释名》云∶纸者砥也，
其平如砥也。东汉和帝时，耒阳蔡伦始采树皮、故帛、鱼网、麻缯，煮烂造纸，天下乃通用
之。苏易简《纸谱》云∶蜀人以麻，闽人以嫩竹，北人以桑皮，剡溪以藤，海人以苔，浙人
以麦KT 、稻秆，吴人以茧，楚人以楮，为纸。又云∶凡烧药，以墨涂纸裹药，最能拒火。
药品中有闪刀纸，乃折纸之际，一角叠在纸中，匠人不知漏裁者，医人取入药用。今方中未
见用此，何欤？
【气味】诸纸∶甘，平，无毒。
【主治】楮纸∶烧灰，止吐血、衄血、血崩、金疮出血（时珍）。
竹纸∶包犬毛烧末，酒服，止疟（《圣惠》）。
藤纸∶烧灰，敷破伤出血，及大人小儿内热，衄血不止。用故藤纸（瓶中烧存性）二钱，
入麝香少许，酒服。仍以纸捻包麝香，烧烟熏鼻（时珍）。
草纸∶作捻， 痈疽，最拔脓。蘸油燃灯，照诸恶疮浸淫湿烂者，出黄水，数次取效（时
珍）。
麻纸∶止诸失血，烧灰用（时珍）。
纸钱∶主痈疽将溃，以筒烧之，乘热吸患处。其灰止血。其烟久嗅，损人肺气
（时珍）。
【附方】旧二，新六。
吐血不止∶白薄纸五张烧灰，水服。效不可言。（《普济方》）

方》）

月经不绝来无时者∶案纸三十张烧灰，清酒半升和服，顿定。冬月用暖酒服之。（刘
锡《传信方》）

诸虫入耳∶以纸塞耳鼻，留虫入之耳不塞，闭口勿言，少顷虫当出也。（《集玄方》）
老小尿床∶白纸一张铺席下，待遗于上，取纸晒烧，酒服。（《集简方》）
【释名】李时珍说：古代将竹片烤干去除水分（称为汗青）以书写文字，所以“简策”等字的部首都是“竹”。到了秦汉时期，用丝织品记事，称为幡纸，所以“纸”字的偏旁是“糸”，或者从“巾”。字中的“氏”是声旁。刘熙在《释名》中说：“纸就是砥石”，意思是它平整得像磨刀石一样。东汉和帝时期，蔡伦开始采集树皮、旧丝织品、鱼网、麻布等原料，煮烂后造纸，天下才开始普遍使用。苏易简在《纸谱》中说：蜀地人用麻，闽地人用嫩竹，北方人用桑皮，剡溪地区用藤，海边人用苔藓，浙江人用麦麸和稻草，吴地人用蚕茧，楚地人用楮树，来制作纸张。又说：凡是烧制药物，用墨汁涂在纸上包裹药物，最能抵御火焰。药品中有“闪刀纸”，是指在折叠纸张时，有一角叠在纸中，工匠不知道漏裁了，医生将其取入药用。现在药方中未见使用此物，为什么呢？
【气味】各种纸张：味甘，性平，无毒。
【主治】楮纸：烧成灰，可治疗吐血、鼻出血、血崩、金创出血（李时珍）。
竹纸：包裹狗毛烧成末，用酒送服，可止疟疾（《圣惠方》）。
藤纸：烧成灰，外敷于破伤出血处，以及治疗成人小儿内热、鼻出血不止。取旧藤纸（在瓶中烧至存性）二钱，加入少许麝香，用酒送服。仍用纸捻包裹麝香，点燃熏鼻（李时珍）。
草纸：做成捻子，用于痈疽，最能拔出脓液。蘸油点燃灯，照射各种恶疮浸淫湿烂者，流出黄水，数次即可见效（李时珍）。
麻纸：治疗各种失血，烧成灰使用（李时珍）。
纸钱：主治痈疽即将溃破时，用筒状物燃烧纸钱，趁热吸吮患处。其灰烬能止血。长期吸入其烟雾，会损伤人的肺气（李时珍）。
【附方】旧方两个，新方六个。
吐血不止：将五张白薄纸烧成灰，用水送服。效果不可言喻。（《普济方》）
鼻出血不止：将屏风上的旧纸烧成灰，用酒送服一钱，即可停止。（《普济方》）
皮肤血液溅出者：用煮酒坛口上的纸，撕碎如杨花般，摊在出血处，按压即止。（王硕《百一选方》）
血痢不止：取白纸三张，裹入一匙盐，烧红后研成末。分三次服用，米汤送下。（《圣惠方》）
月经淋漓不尽且无定时者：将案头纸三十张烧成灰，与半升清酒调和服用，立即安定。冬季用温酒送服。（刘锡《传信方》）
产后血晕：上方服用后立即见效。即使已经死亡经过一天的人，取下板齿灌服，也能救活。
各种虫子进入耳朵：用纸塞住鼻孔和另一只耳朵，留出虫子进入的耳朵不塞，闭口不要说话，一会儿虫子就会出来。（《集玄方》）
老人小孩尿床：将一张白纸铺在席子下面，等到遗尿在上面，取这张纸晒干烧成灰，用酒送服。（《集简方》）
[Names] Li Shizhen stated: In ancient times, bamboo slips were roasted to remove moisture (a process called "sweating green") for writing characters, hence the radical of characters such as "jian" (bamboo slip) and "ce" (records) is "bamboo". By the Qin and Han dynasties, silk fabrics were used for recording events, called "fan zhi", thus the character "zhi" (paper) has the radical "silk" or "cloth". The component "shi" serves as the phonetic element. Liu Xi in *Shiming* (Explanation of Names) said: "Zhi is like a whetstone," meaning it is as flat as a whetstone. During the reign of Emperor He of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun from Leiyang began using tree bark, old silk, fishnets, and hemp cloth, boiling them down to make paper, which then became universally used throughout the realm. Su Yijian in *Zhi Pu* (Chronicle of Paper) stated: People in Shu use hemp, people in Min use young bamboo, people in the North use mulberry bark, people in Shanxi use rattan, coastal people use moss, people in Zhejiang use wheat bran and rice straw, people in Wu use silkworm cocoons, and people in Chu use paper mulberry (*Broussonetia papyrifera*) to make paper. It also states: When calcining medicinal materials, wrapping them in paper coated with ink can best resist fire. There is a type of medicine called "Shandao Zhi" (Flash-knife Paper), which refers to a corner folded inside during the folding of paper that craftsmen did not notice was left uncut; physicians take this for medicinal use. Why is this not seen in current prescriptions?
[Flavor and Toxicity] Various papers: Sweet in flavor, neutral in nature, non-toxic.
[Indications] *Chuzhi* (Paper Mulberry Paper): Burned to ash, it stops hematemesis (vomiting blood), epistaxis (nosebleed), metrorrhagia (uterine bleeding), and hemorrhage from traumatic wounds (Li Shizhen).
*Bamboo Paper*: Wrap dog hair in it, burn to ash, and administer with wine to stop malaria (*Shenghui Fang*).
*Rattan Paper*: Burned to ash and applied externally to bleeding traumatic wounds; also treats internal heat in adults and children, and persistent epistaxis. Take two qian of old rattan paper (calcined in a bottle until only the essence remains), add a small amount of Moschus (She Xiang), and administer with wine. Also, wrap Moschus in a paper wick, ignite it, and smoke the nose (Li Shizhen).
*Grass Paper*: Formed into wicks for carbuncles and sores, it is most effective at drawing out pus. Dip in oil, light as a lamp, and shine on various malignant ulcers with exudative, wet, and rotting lesions to drain yellow fluid; effectiveness is achieved after several applications (Li Shizhen).
*Hemp Paper*: Stops various types of blood loss; burned to ash for use (Li Shizhen).
*Joss Paper*: Mainly indicated for carbuncles and sores about to ulcerate. Burn it in a tube and apply suction to the affected area while hot. Its ash stops bleeding. Long-term inhalation of its smoke damages the lung qi of humans (Li Shizhen).
[Attached Prescriptions] Two old prescriptions, six new ones.
Persistent hematemesis: Burn five sheets of thin white paper to ash, administer with water. The effect is indescribable (*Puji Fang*).
Persistent epistaxis: Burn old paper from room dividers to ash, administer one qian with wine to stop immediately (*Puji Fang*).
Blood spurting from skin lesions: Take paper from the mouth of a wine-jar, tear it into pieces like willow catkins, spread it over the bleeding area, and press to stop bleeding (Wang Shuo, *Baiyi Xuanfang*).
Persistent bloody dysentery: Wrap three sheets of white paper with one spoonful of salt, burn red, and grind to powder. Divide into three doses, taken with rice decoction (*Shenghui Fang*).
Menstruation flowing continuously without regular timing: Burn thirty sheets of desk paper to ash, mix with half a sheng of clear wine, and drink once to settle immediately. In winter, take with warm wine (Liu Xi, *Chuanxin Fang*).
Postpartum blood syncope: The above prescription takes immediate effect. Even if death has occurred for one day, removing the incisor teeth and instilling the liquid can revive the patient.
Various insects entering the ear: Plug the nostrils and the opposite ear with paper, leaving the ear with the insect open. Keep the mouth closed and do not speak; the insect will come out shortly (*Jixuan Fang*).
Enuresis in elderly and children: Lay a sheet of white paper under the mat. Once urination occurs on top, take the paper, dry and burn it, then administer with wine (*Jijian Fang*).
