味苦,气寒。无毒。产于淮南及汉黔等州,属于藤蔓植物,依附在大树上向上生长。叶子呈三角形,绿色,背面颜色浅而正面颜色深;果实五月形成房室状,未成熟时青色,成熟后红色。种子藏在房室内,每房通常有六七枚。形状像皂角子带有褐色斑点,光泽度类似飞蛾虫体。想要获得极其珍贵,因为获取非常困难。取两枚缝在衣服领口中间,遇到毒物时会发出“侧侧”的声音。能够预先感知危险,因此得名。服用时需要去掉外皮,研磨成细粉,用汤剂送服。能杀虫驱蛊,驱逐各种毒素。根部捣碎用水煎煮,效果尤其迅速。
(另一版本记载)
味苦,气寒。有小毒。另一种说法认为其气热,无毒。肥沃土壤中多生长,平原沼泽地带也有。气味像猪粪臭,因此得名。(这种草多生长在江东地区,当地语言称猪为“豕”,称臭为“秽”,因其气味类别,所以以此命名。)五、六、七月采收,(五月五日、六月六日、七月七日,都适宜采收)。枝叶花实全部使用。(只去除粗硬的茎)。用密酒层层调和喷洒,经过九次蒸煮和九次晾晒完全制成。研磨成细末,用蜂蜜制成如豆大小的丸药。清晨空腹吞服,用酒送服,剂量多少随意。治疗突发中风引起的邪气侵袭,口眼歪斜者立即见效;治疗长期渗出的湿痹,腰脚酸痛者有显著功效。捣取生汁服用,主治热病引起的烦闷。服用过多会导致呕吐,少量为宜。
(陈嘉谟)按语:这种草到处都生长,看起来多有奇异之处。金色的棱线银色的线条,白色的根紫色的茎。节间对生枝条,方形茎圆形叶。按照上述方法修制,服用确实对人有益。服用一百次则耳目聪明,服用一千次则须发乌黑。追风逐湿,还算是闲谈。古方常常极力赞扬,深厚的功效难以在著作中完全描述。可见极其低贱的植物,却有不寻常的能力。医者不可因它低贱而不采集,病人也不应因它低贱而不服用。
Zhi Zizi (Akebia Fruit)
Bitter in taste, cold in nature. Non-toxic. Produced in Huainan and various prefectures of Hanqian; it is a vine that climbs directly up large trees by attaching itself. The leaves are triangular and green, with a pale back and a deep front; the fruits form chambers in the fifth month, appearing green when raw and red when ripe. The seeds are hidden within the chambers, usually numbering six or seven per chamber. They resemble the seeds of Gleditsia sinensis (Chinese Honeylocust) with brown spots, and possess a luster similar to that of moth larvae. It is extremely precious because it is very difficult to obtain. Taking two seeds and stitching them into the collar of one's clothing allows one to hear a "ce-ce" sound when encountering poisonous substances. Since it can perceive dangers in advance, it bears this name. For administration, the outer skin must be removed, ground into a fine powder, and taken down with decoction. It kills insects and dispels gu-poisons, driving away all kinds of toxins. The root, when crushed and boiled in water, yields particularly rapid results.
(Alternative record)
Bitter in taste, cold in nature. Slightly toxic. Another account states it is hot in nature and non-toxic. It grows abundantly in fertile soil and also in flat marshes. Its odor resembles that of pig feces, hence its name. (This herb grows mostly in the Jiangdong region, where the local language calls pigs "shi" and stench "hui"; due to its characteristic odor, it is named accordingly.) Harvest in the fifth, sixth, and seventh months. (The fifth day of the fifth month, the sixth day of the sixth month, and the seventh day of the seventh month are all suitable for harvesting.) All parts—branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits—are used. (Only remove the coarse stems.) Mix layer by layer with concentrated wine and sprinkle, then undergo nine stevings and nine sun-dryings until fully processed. Grind into a fine powder and make honey pills the size of beans. Swallow on an empty stomach early in the morning; take with wine, adjusting the dosage as appropriate. It produces immediate effects in treating sudden wind-stroke caused by pathogenic factors, specifically facial paralysis with mouth and eye deviation; it shows remarkable efficacy in treating chronic damp-bi syndrome with oozing symptoms, and severe soreness and pain in the waist and legs. Drinking the fresh juice treats heat-induced restlessness and fullness. Excessive intake causes vomiting; small doses are advisable.
Commentary by Chen Jiamo: This herb grows everywhere and often displays unusual characteristics. It features golden ridges and silver lines, white roots and purple stems. Branches grow opposite at nodes, with square stems and round leaves. Prepared according to the above method, its consumption is indeed beneficial to humans. After taking it one hundred times, hearing and vision become acute; after taking it one thousand times, hair and beard turn black. Dispelling wind and driving out dampness are merely trivial matters compared to its other virtues. Ancient prescriptions often extol its praises, but its profound effects are hard to fully document in writings. This demonstrates that even the most humble plants possess extraordinary capabilities. Physicians should not neglect collecting it due to its low status, nor should patients refuse to use it simply because it is inexpensive.
