【校正】从木部移入此部分。
【释名】鬼目。藏器说:这种植物产于岭南,形状像麂子的眼睛,所以得名。陶弘景在注释豆蔻时引用的“麂目小冷”,指的就是这个。后人误写为“鬼目”。
【集解】李时珍说:鬼目有草、木两种来源:这里指的是木本植物,草本的鬼目另见草部白英条下,还有羊蹄菜也名叫鬼目,这是物不同而名称相同。按:刘欣期《交州记》记载:鬼目产于交趾、九真、武平、兴古等地。树高大硕壮,类似棠梨树,叶子像楮树叶但树皮是白色的,二月开花,花谢后直接结子,大的像木瓜,小的像梅李,但形状略斜不端正。七、八月成熟,颜色黄,味道酸,用蜜浸泡后食用为佳。
【气味】酸、甘,性小冷,无毒。多食会引发冷痰(藏器)。
(出自《本草拾遗》)
【释名】构子。
李时珍说:“桷”音同“角”。《太平御览》中写作“桶子”(读音同上声),大概是传抄时的错误。这也与楮树的“构”字同名但实物不同。陈祈畅《异物志赞》说:构子树,枝叶向四周伸展。名称相同但种类不同,果实味道甜酸。有果无核,内部质地洁白。能分解酒毒、解除醉意,更可作为馈赠礼品。
【解集】苏颂说:按徐表《南州记》记载:都桷子生长在广南山谷。树高一丈多,二月开花,花谢后直接结果,大如鸡蛋,七月成熟。
李时珍说:按魏王《花木志》记载:都桷树产于九真、交趾,野生。二、三月开花,花色赤红。果实像木瓜,八、九月成熟,当地百姓采摘食用,味道酸,用盐或醋腌制食用,或用蜜储藏均可。另一种说法称其形状像青梅。
【气味】酸、涩,性平,无毒。
【主治】长期食用,能益气止泻(藏器)。安神温肠,治疗痔疮。长期服用无损害(李)。解酒,止烦渴(李时珍)。

[Correction] Transferred from the Wood section to this section.
[Names] Gui Mu (Ghost Eye). Zang Qi stated: This plant grows in Lingnan, resembling the eye of a muntjac deer, hence the name. Tao Hongjing, in his annotation on Doukou (Cardamom Seed), mentioned "Ji Mu Xiao Leng" (Muntjac Eye with slight cold nature), which refers to this. Later generations erroneously wrote it as "Gui Mu".
[Collected Explanations] Li Shizhen said: There are three types of "Gui Mu" among herbs and trees; this one is arboreal. The herbaceous "Gui Mu" is described separately under Baiying (White Nightshade) in the Herb section. Additionally, Yuticai (Rumex crispus) is also named "Gui Mu"; these are different substances sharing the same name. According to Liu Xinqi's *Jiaozhou Ji* (Records of Jiaozhou): Gui Mu grows in Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Wuping, and Xinggu areas. The tree is tall and robust, resembling the Pear-leaf Crabapple (Tangli). Its leaves resemble those of the Paper Mulberry (Chu), but the bark is white. It flowers in the second lunar month, and fruits form directly after flowering. The fruits are large like Quinces or small like Plums/Prunes, but slightly oblique and not perfectly round. They ripen in the seventh and eighth lunar months, are yellow in color, sour in taste, and are best consumed when preserved in honey.
[Taste and Nature] Sour, Sweet, Slightly Cold, Non-toxic. Overconsumion may induce Phlegm-Cold (Zang Qi).
(From *Bencao Shiyi* [Supplement to Materia Medica])
[Names] Gou Zi.
Li Shizhen said: "Jue" is pronounced as "jue". In *Taiping Yulan*, it is written as "Tongzi" (pronounced with the same rising tone), likely a transcription error. It shares the same character "Gou" as the Paper Mulberry (Chu Gou) but is a different substance. Chen Qichang's *Yiwu Zhi Zan* states: The Gou Zi tree has branches and leaves spreading in four directions. Although the names are identical, the species differ; its fruit tastes sweet and sour. It bears fruit without seeds, and the interior is pure white. It helps metabolize alcohol and cure hangovers, and can serve as a gift.
[Collected Explanations] Su Song said: According to Xu Biao's *Nanzhou Ji*: Du Jue Zi grows in the mountains and valleys of Guangnan. The tree is over one zhang high. It flowers in the second lunar month and fruits immediately after flowering. The fruits are as large as chicken eggs and ripen in the seventh lunar month.
Li Shizhen said: According to King Wei's *Huamu Zhi* (Record of Flowers and Trees): Du Jue trees grow wild in Jiuzhen and Jiaozhi. They flower in the second and third lunar months with red flowers. The fruits resemble Quinces, ripen in the eighth and ninth lunar months, and are eaten by local people. The taste is sour; they can be pickled with salt or vinegar, or preserved in honey. Another account states they resemble Green Plums in shape.
[Taste and Nature] Sour, Astringent, Neutral, Non-toxic.
[Indications] Long-term consumption benefits Qi and stops diarrhea (Zang Qi). Calms the spirit, warms the intestines, and treats hemorrhoids. Long-term use causes no harm (Li). Resolves alcohol intoxication and relieves thirst (Li Shizhen).
