叶圆青赤，浓泽易折。旁自生枝节。冬夏生，四月花白。五月实赤，大如小豆。今处处皆有，

味苦、甘，性平，无毒。主治腰痛，小儿背部僵硬（“强”音巨两切），痈肿，安胎，使肌肤丰满，使头发牙齿坚固，促进胡须眉毛生长，主治金疮（金属利器造成的创伤），祛除痹症，治疗女子崩中（非经期大量出血或月经淋漓不尽），补益内伤不足，治疗产后余疾，通利乳汁。其果实能明目，轻身通神。又名寄屑。又名寓木。又名宛童。又名茑（音同鸟，又音同吊）。生长在弘农山谷的桑树上。三月三日采集茎和叶，阴干。
陶隐居说：生长在桑树上的，才叫桑上寄生。诗人说：“施（音异）于松上”，方书家也有使用杨树上、枫树上的寄生，那就各自随其所寄生的树木命名，形态类别大致相同，只是根部依附之处不同，它们生长在树枝之间，根系隐藏在树皮节理之内。叶子圆而青赤色，浓润易折。旁边自然生出枝节。冬夏常青，四月开白花。五月结红果，大小如小豆。现在到处都有，以彭城出产的为优。俗称为续断来使用，查考《本经》，续断另列在上品药中，主治功效不同，难道是一物吗？这是市井之人混杂无知所致。服食方中的“桑 ”与此又不同。唐本注说：这种寄生多生长在槲树、榉树、柳树、水杨、枫树等树上。果实黄色，大小如小枣子。只有虢州有桑上寄生，其果汁很粘，核大似小豆，叶子不分阴阳面，像细柳叶但较厚。晚期的茎粗短。江南人世代将其作为续断使用，其实毫不相干。而且寄生实九月才成熟且为黄色。现在称五月结红果，大小如小豆，大概是陶隐居没见到过吧。臣禹锡等谨按蜀本注说：各种树上多有寄生，茎、叶都相似，说是乌鸟吃了某种东西，种子随粪便落在树上，感气而生。叶子像桔子叶但浓软，茎像槐树枝但肥脆。现在到处都有，方书家只需用桑树上的。如果不是亲自采摘，就难以辨别。可以折断茎来看，颜色深黄的为真。《图经》说叶子像龙胆草但浓阔。茎短像鸡脚，呈树形。三月、四月开花，黄赤色。六月、七月结子，黄绿色，如小豆，汁液稠粘的为良。药性论说：桑寄生，属臣药。能使胎牢固，主治怀孕漏血不止。日华子说：助筋骨，益血脉。采药人多在榉树上采收，呼为桑寄生。在桑树上的极少，即使有，形态也与榉树上的不同，其次是枫树上的，效力同榉树上的，呈黄色。七月、八月采集。
《图经》说：桑寄生，出自弘农山谷桑树上，现在到处都有。说是乌鸟吃了食物，种子落在枝节间，感气而生。叶子像桔子叶但浓软，茎像槐树枝但肥脆。三、四月生花，黄白色。六月、七月结实，黄色，如小豆大。三月三日采集茎、叶，阴干。凡是槲、榉、柳、水杨、枫等树上，都有寄生，只有桑树上的可用。然而很难辨别，医家如果不是亲自采摘不敢使用。有人说折断茎来看，颜色深黄且果实中汁液稠粘的为真。谨按《尔雅》：寓木，宛童。郭璞说：寄生一名茑。《诗·弁》说：茑与女萝。陆机疏解说：叶子像当卢，果实像覆盆子，赤黑色，甜美。而中品有松萝条，就是女萝。《诗》所说的“茑与女萝，施于松上”就是这个。旧说生长在熊耳川谷松树上。五月采集，阴干。古方入吐膈药。现在医家很少用，也不再采集。只是附记于此。
雷公说：凡是用，是在树上自然生长的独枝树。采得后，用铜刀连根、枝、茎细细锉碎，阴干后随意使用。不要让见火。
衍义说：桑寄生，新旧书上说：现在到处都有。从官南北，实处处难得。难道每年砍伐采摘践踏它，痛苦而不能生长吗？还是地方适宜不同呢？如果认为是鸟吃了食物种子落在枝节间，感气而生，那么麦子应该生麦，谷物应该生谷，不应当只生这一种东西。又有生在柔滑细枝上的，怎么能让种子落在枝节间？由此而言，自然是感造化之气，是另一种东西。古人当日只取桑上的，其实是借助其气罢了。又说：现在医家很少用，这极是错误的。现在医家不是不用。只是因为难得真正的桑上寄生。曾经得到真正的桑寄生，下咽必见效如神。先前代理吴山职务时，有人向各县求药，于是让人四处搜摘，最终不可得，于是如实告知，非常不高兴。大概是不敢用假药欺骗人。邻邑有人，伪称其他木头的寄生送给他，服用超过一个月而死，悲哀啊！
Sangshang Jisheng (Mistletoe on Mulberry)
Bitter, sweet, neutral, non-toxic. Mainly treats lower back pain, stiffness of the infant's back ("Qiang" pronounced Ju Liang), carbuncles and swellings, calms the fetus, enriches the skin and flesh, strengthens hair and teeth, promotes the growth of beard and eyebrows, mainly treats metal wounds (injuries caused by metal weapons), dispels Bi syndrome (painful obstruction syndrome), treats metrorrhagia and metrostaxis in women, tonifies internal deficiency, treats residual diseases after childbirth, and promotes lactation. Its fruit brightens the eyes, lightens the body, and enhances spiritual clarity. Also known as Ji Xie. Also known as Yu Mu. Also known as Wan Tong. Also known as Niao (pronounced Niao, or also Dia). Grows on mulberry trees in the valleys of Hongnong. Collected on the third day of the third lunar month; stems and leaves are dried in the shade.
Tao Hongjing says: Those growing on mulberry trees are named Sangshang Jisheng. Poets say: "Shi (Yi) on pine trees," medical texts also use mistletoe from elm trees or maple trees, naming them according to the host tree. Their shapes and categories are generally similar, but the sites of root attachment differ; they grow among branches, with roots hidden within the bark nodes. Leaves are round, greenish-red, thick, glossy, and easily broken. Branchlets arise naturally from the sides. Evergreen in winter and summer, flowers white in April, fruits red in May, size like small beans. Now available everywhere, those from Pengcheng are superior. Commonly mistaken for Duan Xu Duan (Dipsaci Radix) for use; however, according to the *Ben Jing*, Duan Xu Duan is listed separately in the Superior Category, with different therapeutic effects. How can they be the same? This confusion arises from ignorant market vendors. The "Sang [missing character]" in dietary therapy formulas differs from this. Tang Ben Zhu notes: This type often grows on oak, zelkova, willow, poplar, and maple trees. Fruits are yellow, size like small dates. Only in Guozhou is there true Sangshang Jisheng; its juice is very sticky, seeds large like small beans, leaves uniform in texture, resembling fine willow leaves but thicker. Late stems are thick and short. People in Jiangnan have traditionally used it as Duan Xu Duan, which is completely unrelated. Moreover, Jisheng fruits ripen in September and turn yellow. The description of red fruits in May, size like small beans, likely reflects what Tao Hongjing did not observe. Ministers Yuxi et al. carefully note according to Shu Ben Zhu: Mistletoe exists on many trees; stems and leaves are similar. It is said that birds eat a certain substance, and seeds fall with feces onto trees, generating life through Qi. Leaves resemble orange leaves but are thick and soft; stems resemble locust branches but are fleshy and brittle. Available everywhere, but medical practitioners require only those from mulberry trees. Without self-harvesting, identification is difficult. One may break the stem to inspect; deep yellow color indicates authenticity. *Tu Jing* states leaves resemble Gentian leaves but are thicker and broader. Stems are short, resembling chicken feet, forming a tree shape. Flowers in March and April, yellow-red. Fruits in June and July, yellow-green, like small beans; those with thick, sticky juice are good. *Yao Xing Lun* states: Sang Jisheng is a Minister herb. It stabilizes the fetus and treats persistent bleeding during pregnancy. Ri Huazi states: It assists sinews and bones, benefits blood vessels. Harvesters often collect from zelkova trees, calling it Sang Jisheng. True ones from mulberry trees are rare; even if present, their morphology differs from those on zelkova. Next best are those from maple trees, with efficacy similar to zelkova types, appearing yellow. Collected in July and August.
*TU Jing* states: Sang Jisheng originates from mulberry trees in the valleys of Hongnong; now available everywhere. It is said that birds consume food, seeds fall into branch joints, and generate life through Qi. Leaves resemble orange leaves but are thick and soft; stems resemble locust branches but are fleshy and brittle. Flowers appear in March and April, yellow-white. Fruits form in June and July, yellow, size like small beans. Stems and leaves collected on the third day of the third lunar month, dried in the shade. Mistletoe exists on oak, zelkova, willow, poplar, and maple trees, but only those from mulberry trees are suitable for use. However, they are difficult to identify, and physicians dare not use them unless harvested personally. Some suggest breaking the stem for inspection; deep yellow color and fruits with thick, sticky juice indicate authenticity. Carefully consulting *Er Ya*: Yu Mu, Wan Tong. Guo Pu states: Mistletoe is also called Niao. *Shi Jing · Bian* states: Niao and Nuoluo. Lu Ji's commentary states: Leaves resemble Danglu, fruits resemble raspberries, dark red-black, sweet and tasty. The Middle Category contains Song Luo, which is Nuoluo. The *Shi Jing* phrase "Niao and Nuoluo, spreading on pine trees" refers to this. Old records state it grows on pine trees in the valleys of Xiong'er Mountain. Collected in May, dried in the shade. Ancient formulas included it in phlegm-expelling medicines. Modern physicians rarely use it and no longer harvest it; it is merely appended here.
Lei Gong states: When using, select those naturally growing on single-branched trees on the host. After harvesting, finely chop roots, branches, and stems with a copper knife, dry in the shade, and use as needed. Do not expose to fire.
Yanyi states: Sang Jisheng, in old and new books, states: Now available everywhere. From north to south of the capital, genuine sources are hard to find. Is it because annual cutting, picking, and trampling cause suffering and inhibit growth? Or is it due to different regional suitability? If one believes it grows because bird-eaten seeds fall into branch joints and generate life through Qi, then wheat should produce wheat, grains should produce grains, not just this one species. Furthermore, some grow on smooth, thin branches; how can seeds fall into branch joints? Thus, it is naturally generated by the Qi of Creation, a distinct entity. In ancient times, only those from mulberry trees were selected, truly borrowing their Qi. It is also said: Modern physicians rarely use it; this is extremely erroneous. Modern physicians do use it, but simply cannot obtain true Sangshang Jisheng. I once obtained true Sang Jisheng; upon ingestion, it proved effective as if by magic. Previously, while acting in Wushan, someone requested medicine from various counties. I ordered widespread searching and picking, but ultimately failed to obtain any, so I truthfully informed them, causing great dissatisfaction. They likely feared being deceived by fake medicine. Someone from a neighboring county sent me mistletoe from other trees falsely labeled as such; after taking it for over a month, the patient died. How tragic!
