【兰草】
味甘，性温。主要功效为补益元气。能去除面部的黑斑和晦暗之色，使面容姣好美丽。其根部味辛，主要治疗腹中的寒热邪气，通利小便。长期服用可以使人不感饥饿，身体轻盈。又名筋根华，又名金沸。生长于平原沼泽地带。
截取一寸长的苗段种植，经过十天旬期即可生根发芽。枝条疏细缠绕，茎秆中空圆润如旋鼓状。筋骨力量刚强坚挺，容颜妩媚动人。遍布田垄交错田间，只需锄头收割采集。
寇宗奭说：将其根部截成一寸长放入土中，灌溉经过十天，苗芽在田野间生长很多，最难清除铲除，治理后又重新生长。李时珍说：
千叶的品种花色粉红，俗称缠枝牡丹。它的花朵不呈花瓣形状，像军中吹奏的鼓子花，所以有旋华、鼓子的名称。名医记载：根部主治接续筋骨，南方人称之为续筋根。《管子》记载：强力刚坚。元好问诗句：意态精巧妩媚。庾信诗句：覆盖田垄的文瓜成熟，交错田埂的香穗低垂。苏轼解说：除草艾蒿，相继在上。《诗笺》：杂乱的柴草我想收割它。
【兰草（另一品种或指佩兰等）】
味辛，性平。主要功效为通利水道，杀灭蛊毒，辟除不祥之气。长期服用可补益元气，使身体轻盈，延缓衰老，通达神明。又名水香。生长于池塘沼泽地带。
沅湘之水边采摘兰草，溱洧之畔洗涤衣襟。斜抛如燕尾剪刀，初浴似鸡苏草。福祥云集而至，毒蛊风邪得以清除。千金良方确实有效，九畹兰草平息了诬蔑。
《九歌》：浩浩荡荡的沅湘之水。《离骚》：编织秋兰作为佩饰。《诗疏》：秉兰即兰香草。梁简文帝诗句：洗涤衣襟走出乐游原。
马志说：它的叶子有分歧，俗称燕尾香。李时珍说：开花成穗状，像鸡苏草。花朵红白色。梁简文帝序言：云集雾会。《唐书传赞》：雷霆扫荡，风邪清除。方回解说：古代的兰草，就是现在的千金草。陆游诗句：洛阳二顷田地所言确实正确。杨慎说：世人把像萱蒲的植物当作兰草，九畹兰草受诬蔑已久。
[Lan Cao]
The flavor is sweet, and the nature is warm. It primarily tonifies Qi (vital energy). It removes black spots and dullness from the face, making the complexion beautiful and charming. The root has a pungent flavor and primarily treats cold and heat pathogenic factors in the abdomen, promoting urination. Long-term consumption prevents hunger and lightens the body. It is also known as Jin Gen Hua (Tendon Root Flower) or Jin Fei (Golden Boiling). It grows in plains and marshes.
Cutting one-cun segments of the seedling for planting, roots can sprout within ten days. The branches are sparse and fine, winding around; the stems are hollow and round like a spinning drum. The tendons and muscles are strong and firm, and the appearance is enchanting. It covers the field ridges and intersects the irrigation channels, ready to be harvested with a hoe.
Kou Zongshi stated: Placing the cut one-cun roots into the soil and irrigating them for ten days results in many seedlings growing in the fields, which are difficult to weed out, as they regenerate after being treated. Li Shizhen stated:
The variety with thousand leaves has pink flowers, commonly called Chuan Zhi Mu Dan (Winding Branch Peony). Its flowers do not have petal shapes but resemble the trumpet vine flowers blown in military bands, hence the names Xuan Hua (Spinning Flower) and Gu Zi (Drum Seed). Famous physicians recorded that the root primarily aids in knitting bones and tendons, and people in the south call it Xu Jin Gen (Continuing Tendon Root). *Guanzi* records: "Strong and firm." Yuan Haowen's poem states: "Its demeanor is skillfully charming." Yu Xin's poem states: "Melons ripen on the ridges, fragrant ears droop at the field intersections." Su Shi explained: "Weeding mugwort, following each other above." The *Shi Jian* (Commentary on Poetry) states: "I wish to harvest the mixed firewood."
[Lan Cao - Second Entry]
The flavor is pungent, and the nature is neutral. It primarily promotes the flow of water passages, kills gu poison (parasitic disease), and wards off inauspiciousness. Long-term consumption tonifies Qi, lightens the body, delays aging, and enhances spiritual clarity. It is also known as Shui Xiang (Water Fragrance). It grows in ponds and marshes.
Gathering Lan Cao by the Yuan and Xiang rivers, washing skirts by the Qin and Wei streams. Thrown obliquely like swallow-tail scissors, initially bathing like Ji Su (Mosla chinensis). Auspicious clouds gather, toxins and wind pathogens are removed. The Thousand Gold formula is indeed effective, and the nine wan acres of Lan Cao dispel slander.
*Jiu Ge* (Nine Songs): "Vast and mighty are the Yuan and Xiang waters." *Li Sao* (Encountering Sorrow): "Braid autumn orchids to make a pendant." *Shi Shu* (Commentary on Poetry): "Bing Lan refers to the fragrant orchid grass." Emperor Jianwen of Liang's poem states: "Washing skirts, emerging from Leyou Park."
Ma Zhi stated: Its leaves are bifurcated, commonly called Yan Wei Xiang (Swallow Tail Fragrance). Li Shizhen stated: Flowers bloom in spikes, resembling Ji Su. The flowers are red and white. Emperor Jianwen of Liang's preface states: "Gathering like clouds, meeting like fog." *Book of Tang Biography Praise* states: "Sweeping like thunder, removing like wind." Fang Hui explained: "Ancient Lan Cao is exactly today's Qian Jin Cao (Thousand Gold Grass)." Lu You's poem states: "Two qing of land in Luoyang is indeed correct." Yang Shen stated: "The world takes plants resembling Xuan Pu as Lan Cao; the slander against the nine wan acres has lasted long."
