今人呼为 草。浓煎汤，淋渫皮肤麻痹。《本经》一名春草。诸家皆谓为草，今居木
部，《图经》亦然。今世所用者，皆木叶也。如石楠，枝、梗干则绉，揉之，其嗅如椒。《尔
雅·释草》云∶“ ，春草。释曰∶今莽草也”。与《本经》合，今当具言之。石楠条中，
陶隐居注云∶“似 草，凌冬不凋。”诚木无疑。
其子如御李子，至红熟堪啖，微涩。其仁，汤去皮，研极烂，入生龙脑，点赤目。
陕西甚多，根煎汤，渫风 牙。
即牛李子也。木高七八尺，叶如李，但狭而不泽。子于条上四边生，熟则紫黑色，生
则青。叶至秋则落，子尚在枝，是处皆有，故经不言所出处，今关陕及湖南、江南北甚多，
木皮与子两用。
今长安山中亦有。其子即谓之木栾子，携至京都为数珠，未见其入药。
其干端直，大抵如松，冬不凋，但叶阔成枝，庐山有万杉寺，即此杉也。作屑煮汁，浸
洗香港脚肿满。今处处有。
今江南等路造船场皆此木也。缘木性坚而善居水，久则多中空，为白蚁所穴。
必须轻微炒制，使其表面渗出油汗（俗称“出汗”），并且必须去除附着在种子上的红色和黄色薄膜。去壳的方法是：先轻微炒热，趁热放入竹筒中，用木梗捣碎，簸扬取出红色的种仁；如果还没有完全分离干净，就再次挑选、再次捣碎，直到完全分离为止。凡是使用花椒都必须这样处理。花椒中的种子称为椒目，治疗盗汗效果极佳。将椒目轻微炒制后，捣成极细的粉末，取半钱匕的量，用生猪上唇煎煮一合的汤剂来调服，临睡前服用，没有不生效的。因为椒目能够行水气，又能治疗水蛊病。
现在人们称其为[某种]草。将其浓煎成汤剂，淋洗或擦拭皮肤麻痹部位。《神农本草经》中它有一个名字叫春草。各家本草都把它归为草类，但现在它被收录在木部，《图经本草》也是如此。现在世间所使用的，都是它的木叶。比如石楠，其枝条、茎干表面皱缩，揉搓时气味像花椒。《尔雅·释草》中说：“[某字]，是春草。”解释说道：“就是现在的莽草。”这与《本经》相符，现在应当详细说明。在石楠条目中，陶隐居注释说：“形状像[某字]草，越冬不凋谢。”这确实是树木无疑。
它的果实像李子，红熟时可以食用，味道微涩。其果仁，用水去皮后，研磨至极烂，加入生龙脑，点涂于赤眼（红眼）上。陕西地区非常多，根部煎汤，用于清洗风毒引起的牙齿疼痛。
就是牛李子。树木高七八尺，叶子像李树叶，只是更狭窄且无光泽。果实生在枝条四周，成熟时呈紫黑色，未成熟时呈青色。叶子到秋天就脱落了，但果实还留在枝头，到处都有生长，所以《本草经》没有记载它的产地，现在关中、陕西以及湖南、江南等地非常多，树皮和果实两种都可以入药。
现在长安的山中也有这种树。它的果实就叫做木栾子，人们携带到京城做成念珠，但没有见到它入药使用。
它的树干端正笔直，大体像松树一样，冬天不落叶，只是叶片宽大形成树冠，庐山有万杉寺，指的就是这种杉树。将其锉成屑煮汁，浸泡洗涤脚气病导致的肿胀。现在各地都有。
现在江南等路的造船场使用的都是这种木材。因为这种木头质地坚硬且善于浮水，时间久了内部多中空，被白蚁蛀蚀成孔洞。
It must be lightly stir-fried until oil sweats out from the surface, and the red and yellow membranes attached to the seeds must be removed. The method for removing the shells is: first lightly stir-fry, then while hot, place it into a bamboo tube and pound it with a wooden pestle. Winnow to collect the red seed kernels; if not completely separated, select again and pound again, until fully separated. This procedure must be followed whenever using Sichuan pepper (Zanthoxylum bungeanum). The seeds within are called *Jiaomu* (Sichuan Pepper Seed), which is especially effective in treating night sweats. Lightly stir-fry the *Jiaomu*, grind it into an extremely fine powder, take half a "qian bi" (a small measuring spoon) dose, mix it with one "ge" (approx. 20ml) of decoction prepared by boiling the upper lip of a live pig, and take it before going to bed. It is invariably effective. This is because *Jiaomu* can promote water metabolism and treat abdominal distension due to fluid retention (*Shuigu*).
Currently, people refer to it as [a type of] grass. Decoct it strongly and use the liquid to wash or wipe areas of skin numbness. *Shennong Bencao Jing* lists another name for it as *Chuncao*. Various pharmacopoeias classify it as a grass, but it is now categorized under the Wood section, as is also the case in *Tujing Bencao*. What is currently used in practice are its tree leaves. For instance, *Shinan* (Ficus tikoua), when its branches and stems are wrinkled and rubbed, emit an odor resembling Sichuan pepper. *Erya · Shi Cao* states: "[Character], is Chuncao." The commentary explains: "This is currently known as Mangcao (Illicium lanceolatum)." This aligns with *Bencao Jing*, so it should be explained in detail here. In the entry for *Shinan*, Tao Hongjing's annotation says: "Resembles [Character] grass, does not wither in winter." It is undoubtedly a tree.
Its fruit resembles a plum; when fully ripe and red, it is edible but slightly astringent. Its kernel, after peeling with water and grinding to a very smooth paste, mixed with raw borneol, can be applied to treat red eyes (conjunctivitis). It is abundant in Shaanxi; decocting the root and washing it helps relieve toothache caused by wind-toxins.
It is the same as Niuzi (Cow Plum). The tree grows seven to eight chi tall, with leaves similar to plum leaves but narrower and less glossy. The fruits grow around the four sides of the branches; they turn purple-black when ripe and green when unripe. The leaves fall in autumn, but the fruits remain on the branches. It grows everywhere, which is why *Bencao Jing* does not specify its origin. It is now very common in Guanzhong, Shaanxi, Hunan, Jiangnan, and other regions. Both the bark and the fruit are used medicinally.
It is also found in the mountains of Chang'an today. Its fruit is called *Moluanzi* (Koelreuteria paniculata fruit); people bring them to the capital to make prayer beads, but there is no record of its medicinal use.
Its trunk is straight and upright, generally resembling pine trees, remaining evergreen in winter, though its leaves are broad forming a canopy. Wanshan Temple on Mount Lu is named after this type of fir/cedar. Grinding it into chips and boiling the juice allows for soaking and washing swollen feet affected by gouty arthritis (Hongjiaojiao). It is now available everywhere.
Shipbuilding yards in the Jiangnan circuit and other regions all use this wood. Because the wood is hard and buoyant, over time it often becomes hollow inside and is burrowed by white ants.
