草。漆姑草如鼠迹大，生阶墀间阴处，气辛烈， 敷漆疮，亦主溪毒，乃同名也。
颂曰∶或言老鸦眼睛草即漆姑草，漆姑乃蜀羊泉，人不能决识。

龙葵也。又黄蜂作窠，衔漆姑草汁为蒂，即此草也。

（《神农本草经》列为中品）
【释名】羊泉（出自《名医别录》）、羊饴。
李时珍说：这些名字的含义都不清楚。因为能治疗漆疮，所以叫漆姑草。
【集解】《名医别录》说：蜀羊泉生长在蜀郡的山谷中。
陶弘景说：现在方书中不再使用此药，没有人认识它了。
苏恭说：这种草俗名叫漆姑草，叶子像菊花叶，花是紫色的，种子像枸杞子，根像远志，中间没有心髓但有粉末状物质。在各地的平原沼泽地带都有生长，生于阴湿之地，三月、四月采集苗和叶，阴干保存。
藏器说：陶弘景在注释杉木时说：“漆姑草叶子细细的，多生长在石头边，能治疗漆疮。”苏恭说漆姑就是羊泉。我考察后认为：羊泉是大株草本植物。而漆姑草只有老鼠足迹那么大，生长在台阶缝隙间的阴凉处，气味辛辣猛烈，外敷可治漆疮，也能主治溪毒，这是同名异物的情况。
苏颂说：有人说老鸦眼睛草就是漆姑草，漆姑即是蜀羊泉，人们不能确切分辨识别。
李时珍说：漆姑有两种：苏恭所说的是羊泉，陶弘景和陈藏器所说的是小草。苏颂所说的老鸦眼睛草，其实是龙葵。另外，黄蜂筑巢时，衔取漆姑草的汁液作为巢蒂，指的就是这种草。
【气味】味苦，性微寒，无毒。
【主治】头秃、恶疮、热气，疥瘙痂癣虫（出自《神农本草经》）。
治疗龋齿，女子阴道内伤，皮肤间的实性积块（出自《名医别录》）。主治小儿惊风，促进毛发生长，捣碎外涂治疗漆疮（苏恭补充）。被蚯蚓气息熏染导致的病症，捣烂后加入黄丹粉调和使用（原文此处似有缺漏或排版错误，依文意翻译）。
【附方】新增一方。
黄疸病：用一把漆草，捣取汁液，和酒服用。不超过三到五次，即可痊愈。（出自《摘玄方》）。
（《本草纲目》）
【释名】小秦王草（出自《本草纲目》）、秦王试剑草。
李时珍说：鹿蹄草的叶子形状像鹿蹄。因为能治疗金属利器造成的创伤，所以名叫试剑草。另外，山慈姑也叫鹿蹄，与此不同。
【集解】李时珍说：根据轩辕所著《宝藏论》记载：鹿蹄草多生长在江淮、广东的平原地带以及寺院荒废之处，淮北地区极少，川陕地区也有。幼苗像堇菜，但叶子较大，背面呈紫色。春天开出紫花。结青色果实，像天茄子。可以用来炼制雌黄、朱砂。
【气味】缺失。
(Registered as Middle Grade in *Shennong Bencao Jing*)
[Names] Yangquan (recorded in *Mingyi Bielu*), Yangyi.
Li Shizhen stated: The meanings of these names are unclear. It is called Qigu (Lac Bug Grass) because it can treat lac dermatitis.
[Collection and Explanation] *Mingyi Bielu* states: Shuyangquan grows in the valleys of Shu Commandery.
Tao Hongjing stated: It is no longer used in medical formulas, and few people recognize it.
Su Gong stated: This herb is commonly known as Qigu grass. Its leaves resemble those of chrysanthemum, its flowers are purple, its seeds resemble Goji berries (*Lycii Fructus*), and its roots resemble *Polygalae Radix* (Yuanzhi), lacking a pith but containing powdery substance. It grows in flatlands and marshes everywhere, thriving in shady and moist places. The aerial parts and leaves are harvested in the third and fourth lunar months and dried in the shade.
Zang Qi stated: Tao Hongjing’s annotation on Fir wood mentions: "Qigu grass has fine leaves and often grows beside rocks; it can treat lac dermatitis." Su Gong stated that Qigu is Yangquan. Upon examination, Yangquan is a large herb. In contrast, Qigu grass is only as large as a mouse footprint, grows in the shady crevices of steps, has a pungent and strong odor, and when applied externally treats lac dermatitis and also addresses stream toxins. This is an example of homonymy for different species.
Su Song stated: Some claim that *Lycium chinense* (Laoya Yanjing Cao) is Qigu grass, and that Qigu refers to Shuyangquan, but people cannot definitively identify them.
Li Shizhen stated: There are two types of Qigu: What Su Gong described is Yangquan, while what Tao Hongjing and Chen Zangqi described is a small herb. What Su Song described as Laoya Yanjing Cao is actually *Solanum nigrum* (Longkui). Additionally, yellow bees use the juice of this grass to form the base of their nests, referring to this specific herb.
[Flavor and Properties] Bitter, slightly cold, non-toxic.
[Indications] Scalp alopecia, malignant sores, heat qi, scabies with itching and crusting, tinea caused by parasites (*Shennong Bencao Jing*).
Treats dental caries, internal injury in the female vagina, and solid accumulations in the skin (*Mingyi Bielu*). Treats pediatric convulsions, promotes hair growth, and when crushed and applied externally, treats lac dermatitis (Supplemented by Su Gong). For conditions caused by exposure to earthworm vapors, crush the herb and mix with *Minium* (Huangdan) for application (Note: Original text appears incomplete or corrupted here).
[Attached Prescriptions] One new prescription.
Jaundice: Take one handful of Qigu grass, crush to extract juice, and take mixed with wine. Recovery occurs within three to five doses (*Zhaixuan Fang*).
(*Bencao Gangmu*)
[Names] Xiao Qinwang Cao (recorded in *Bencao Gangmu*), Qinwang Shijian Cao.
Li Shizhen stated: The leaves of *Pyrola calliantha* resemble deer hooves. It is named Shijian Cao (Sword-Testing Grass) because it can heal metal-induced wounds. Note that *Ursinia coronopifolia* (Shancigu) is also called Luti, which is different from this herb.
[Collection and Explanation] Li Shizhen stated: According to Xuan Yuan’s *Baozang Lun*, *Pyrola* grows mostly in the plains of Jianghuai and Guangdong, as well as in abandoned areas of temples. It is rare in north of the Huai River but exists in Sichuan and Shaanxi. The seedlings resemble *Viola* species, but the leaves are larger and purplish on the abaxial surface. Purple flowers bloom in spring. It bears green fruits resembling *Solanum melongena* (Eggplant). It can be used to process Realgar (*Realgar*) and Cinnabar (*Cinnabaris*).
[Flavor and Properties] Information missing.
[Indications] Bleeding from metal injuries; crushing and applying externally stops bleeding. Also applicable to venom from snake, insect, and dog bites (Supplemented by Li Shizhen).
