（《蜀本草》）
【释名】刺梨子（《开宝》）、山石榴（《纲目
时珍曰∶金樱当作金罂，谓其子形如黄罂也。石榴、鸡头皆象形。又杜鹃花、小檗并名
山石榴，非一物也。
曰∶林檎、向里子亦曰金樱子，与此同名而异物。
【集解】韩保升曰∶金樱子在处有之。花白。子形似
颂曰∶今南中州郡多有，而以江西、剑南、岭外者为胜。丛生郊野中，大类蔷薇，有刺。
四月开白花。夏秋结实，亦有刺，黄赤色，形似小石榴，十一月、十二月采。江南、蜀中人
熬作煎，酒服，云补治有殊效。宜州所供，云本草谓之营实。今校之，与营实殊别也。
时珍曰∶山林间甚多。花最白腻。其实大如指头，状如石榴而长。其核细碎而有白毛，
如营实之核而味甚涩。
子
【气味】酸，涩，平，无毒。
【主治】脾泄下痢，止小便利，涩精气。久服，令人耐寒轻身（《蜀本》）。
【发明】颂曰∶洪州、昌州皆煮其子作煎，寄馈人。服食家用煎和鸡头实粉为丸服，名
水陆丹，益气补真最佳。
慎微曰∶沈存中《笔谈》云∶金樱子止遗泄，取其温且涩也。世人待红熟时取汁熬膏，
味甘，全断涩味，都全失本性，大误也。惟当取半黄者，干捣末用之。
宗 曰∶九月、十月霜熟时采用。不尔，反令人利。
震亨曰∶经络隧道，以通畅为平和。而昧者取涩性为快，熬金樱为煎食之。自不作靖，
咎将谁执？
时珍曰∶无故而服之，以取快欲则不可。若精气不固者服之，何咎之有？
【附方】旧一，新二。

（出自《蜀本草》）
【释名】刺梨子（出自《开宝本草》）、山石榴（出自《本草纲目》）。
李时珍说：金樱应当写作“金罂”，是说它的果实形状像黄色的罂粟。石榴、鸡头（芡实）都是因形状而得名。另外，杜鹃花和小檗也都叫山石榴，并不是同一种东西。
苏颂说：林檎、向里子也叫金樱子，与此同名但实物不同。
【集解】韩保升说：金樱子在各地都有生长。花是白色的。果实形状像……
苏颂说：现在南方各州郡多有生长，其中以江西、剑南、岭南地区出产的为优。丛生在郊野之中，大类蔷薇科植物，有刺。
四月开白花。夏秋季节结果实，也有刺，呈黄赤色，形状像小石榴，十一月、十二月采收。江南、蜀地的人将其熬制成膏状，用酒送服，据说补益治疗有显著疗效。宜州所进贡的，据说是本草中所谓的“营实”。如今考证，它与营实截然不同。
李时珍说：山林间非常多。花最洁白细腻。果实大如手指，形状像石榴但更长。其核细碎且有白色绒毛，像营实的核但味道非常涩。
【主治】脾虚泄泻、下痢，止小便频数，固涩精气。长期服用，能使人耐寒、身体轻健（出自《蜀本草》）。
【发明】苏颂说：洪州、昌州都煮其果实制成膏状，寄赠他人。服食之家将煎膏与鸡头实粉混合做成丸药服用，名叫“水陆丹”，益气补真效果最佳。
寇宗奭说：沈括在《笔谈》中说：金樱子能止遗精滑泄，是因为它性温且味涩。世人等到果实红熟时取汁熬膏，味道甘甜，完全失去了涩味，彻底丧失了本性，这是很大的错误。只应当取半黄的果实，干燥后捣成粉末使用。
陈承说：九月、十月霜降成熟时采用。否则，反而会导致人腹泻。
朱震亨说：经络隧道，以通畅为平和状态。而愚昧之人贪图快感，将金樱熬成膏食用。自己不知节制，过错归咎于谁呢？
李时珍说：无故服用它以追求性欲快感是不可以的。如果是精气不固的人服用，又有什么过错呢？
【附方】旧方一个，新方两个。
金樱子煎：霜降后用竹夹子采摘，放入木臼中捣去刺，掰开去掉核。用水淘洗干净，捣烂。放入大锅中，加水煎煮，不能断火。煎至减半，过滤，再煎至像稀糖浆一样稠。每次服用一匙，用温酒送服，功效不可尽述。（出自《孙真人食忌》）。
补血益精：金樱子（即山石榴，去刺及核，焙干）四两，缩砂仁二两。研为末，炼蜜和丸，如梧桐子大小。每次服用五十丸，空腹时用温酒送服。（出自《奇效良方》）。
久痢不止：严紧绝妙方剂。配方：罂粟壳（醋炒）、金樱子（花、叶及果实）等分。研为末，蜜丸如芡子大小。每次服用五、七丸，用陈皮煎汤化开服下。（出自《普济方》）。
【花】
【气味】与果实相同。
【主治】止冷痢或热痢，杀灭寸白虫、蛔虫等。与铁粉研匀，涂抹于白发处，即可生出黑发。也可以用来染须发（出自《大明本草》）。
【叶】
【主治】痈肿，嫩叶研烂，加入少许盐涂抹，留头部透气以泄邪气。又有金疮出血，五月五日采集，与桑叶、苎麻叶等分，阴干研末敷之，血止伤口愈合，名叫“军中一捻金”（李时珍）。
【东行根】
【气味】与果实相同。
【主治】寸白虫，锉碎二两，加入糯米三十粒，水二升，煎至五合，空腹服用，片刻后泻出虫体，神验。
其皮炒用，可止泻血及崩漏带下（出自《大明本草》）。
止滑痢，煎醋服用，可化解骨鲠（李时珍）。
(From *Shu Bencao*)
[Names] Ci Li Zi (Thorn Pear), from *Kaibao Bencao*; Shan Shi Liu (Mountain Pomegranate), from *Bencao Gangmu*.
Li Shizhen stated: "Jin Ying" should be written as "Jin Ying" (Golden Urn), referring to the shape of its fruit resembling a yellow urn. Pomegranate and Jitou (Euryale Seed) are named after their shapes. Furthermore, Rhododendron and Berberis are also called Shan Shi Liu, but they are not the same substance.
Su Song stated: Lin Qin and Xiang Li Zi are also called Jin Ying Zi, sharing the name but being different substances.
[Collection and Explanation] Han Baosheng stated: Jin Ying Zi grows in various places. The flowers are white. The fruit resembles...
Su Song stated: It is currently abundant in southern prefectures, with those from Jiangxi, Jiannan, and Lingwai being superior. It grows in clusters in suburbs and wild areas, similar to Rosa multiflora, with thorns.
It blooms white flowers in April. It bears fruit in summer and autumn, also possessing thorns, appearing yellowish-red, shaped like small pomegranates. It is harvested in November and December. People in Jiangnan and Shu regions boil it into a paste and take it with wine, claiming special efficacy in tonification and treatment. The tribute supplied from Yizhou is said to be the "Ying Shi" mentioned in herbal texts. Upon verification, it is distinct from Ying Shi.
Li Shizhen stated: It is very common in mountainous forests. The flowers are extremely white and fine. The fruits are as large as a finger, longer than pomegranates. Its seeds are finely fragmented with white hairs, resembling the seeds of Ying Shi but with a very astringent taste.
[Flavor and Toxicity] Sour, astringent, neutral nature, non-toxic.
[Indications] Spleen deficiency diarrhea and dysentery, cessation of frequent urination, astringency of essence and qi. Long-term consumption makes one resistant to cold and lightens the body (*Shu Bencao*).
[Elucidation] Su Song stated: Hongzhou and Changzhou both boil its fruits to make pastes for gifting. Families engaged in dietary therapy mix the paste with Euryale Seed powder to make pills, named "Shui Lu Dan" (Water-Land Pill), which is excellent for benefiting qi and tonifying true essence.
Kou Zongshi stated: Shen Kuo in *Bitan* said: Jin Ying Zi stops seminal emission and leakage because it is warm and astringent. Common people wait until the fruit is fully red and ripe to extract juice and boil it into a paste. The taste becomes sweet, completely losing the astringent flavor and thus its original nature, which is a major error. One should only select semi-yellow fruits, dry them, and grind them into powder for use.
Chen Cheng stated: Harvest when mature under frost in September and October. Otherwise, it may cause diarrhea instead.
Zhu Zhenheng stated: Meridians and collaterals are in a state of peace when unobstructed. Ignorant people seek pleasure by consuming boiled Jin Ying paste. If they fail to maintain moderation, who shall bear the blame?
Li Shizhen stated: Taking it without cause to satisfy sexual desire is inadvisable. However, if taken by those with insecure essence and qi, what fault is there?
[Attached Prescriptions] One old prescription, two new prescriptions.
Jin Ying Zi Jian: After frost, pick using bamboo tongs, pound in a wooden mortar to remove thorns, split open and remove seeds. Wash with water, pound into a pulp. Place in a large pot, decoct with water without letting the fire cease. Decoct until reduced by half, filter, then continue boiling until it resembles thin syrup. Take one spoonful per dose, administered with warm wine. The efficacy cannot be fully described (*Sun Taoren Shiji*).
Tonify Blood and Benefit Essence: Jin Ying Zi (i.e., Shan Shi Liu, remove thorns and seeds, bake) 4 liang, Sha Ren (Amomum Fruit) 2 liang. Grind into powder, mix with refined honey to form pills the size of Sophora seeds. Take 50 pills per dose, with warm wine on an empty stomach (*Qixiao Liangfang*).
Chronic Dysentery Not Ceasing: A strict and superb formula. Ingredients: Poppy Shell (vinegar-fried) and Jin Ying Zi (flower, leaf, and fruit) in equal parts. Grind into powder, form pills with honey the size of Euryale seeds. Take 5-7 pills per dose, dissolved in Chen Pi (Tangerine Peel) decoction (*Pujifang*).
[Flower]
[Flavor and Toxicity] Same as the fruit.
[Indications] Stops cold or hot dysentery, kills Ascaris lumbricoides and roundworms. Mix evenly with Iron Powder and apply to white hair to promote black regrowth. Can also be used to dye beard and hair (*Daming Bencao*).
[Leaf]
[Indications] Carbuncles and swellings. Pound tender leaves, add a little salt, and apply topically, leaving the head exposed to vent pathogenic qi. For traumatic bleeding (golden wounds), harvest on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Mix in equal parts with Mulberry Leaf and Ramie Leaf, dry in shade, grind into powder, and apply. Bleeding stops and wounds close. Named "Junzhong Yi Nian Jin" (One Pinch of Gold in the Army) (Li Shizhen).
[East-Growing Root]
[Flavor and Toxicity] Same as the fruit.
[Indications] Ascaris lumbricoides. Chop 2 liang, add 30 grains of glutinous rice, 2 sheng of water, decoct to 0.5 sheng. Take on an empty stomach; worms will be expelled shortly thereafter, with miraculous effect.
The bark, when stir-fried, stops bloody diarrhea and leukorrhea due to uterine bleeding (*Daming Bencao*).
Stops slippery dysentery; decoct with vinegar and take to dissolve fish bones (Li Shizhen).
