呼谷纸，亦为楮纸，武陵人作谷皮衣，又甚坚好尔。臣禹锡等谨按蜀本图经云∶树有二种，
取有子叶似葡萄者佳。八月采实，所在皆识也。药性论 谷木皮亦可单用。味甘，平，无毒。

图经曰∶楮实，生少室山，今所在有之。此有二种∶一种皮有斑花文，谓之斑谷，今人
用为冠者；一种皮无花，枝叶大相类。但取其叶似葡萄叶作瓣而有子者为佳。其实初夏生，

陶隐居说：这就是现在的构树。仙方中采集捣碎取汁与丹药混合使用，也可以干服，能使人通神见鬼。南方人叫它谷纸，也叫楮纸，武陵人用谷皮做衣服，也非常坚固好用。臣禹锡等人谨按《蜀本图经》记载：树有两种，取有子且叶像葡萄的是佳品。八月采集果实，各地都能识别。《药性论》记载：谷木皮也可以单用。味甘，性平，无毒。能治水肿气满。将叶干炒成末，拌面做成面食吃，主治水痢。段成式《酉阳杂俎》说：构树，谷田久废必定生出构树。叶有瓣的叫楮，没有瓣的叫构。日华子说：楮实，能壮筋骨，助阳气，补虚劳，益腰膝，美容色，皮上有斑纹的是楮，皮白色的叫谷。又说楮叶，性凉，无毒。治疗刺风身痒，这是斑谷树。又说谷树汁，敷贴蛇虫蜂犬咬伤，能与朱砂合团，名叫五金胶漆。
《图经》说：楮实，生于少室山，现在各地都有。这有两种：一种皮有斑花纹理，叫做斑谷，现在人用它做帽子；一种皮无花纹，枝叶大体相似。只要取其叶像葡萄叶那样有瓣且有子的为佳品。其果实在初夏生长，如弹丸大小，青绿色，到六、七月逐渐变深红色，才成熟。八月、九月采集，用水浸泡去皮和瓤，取中间的种子。晒干。仙方中单服其实。在正红时收取中间种子，阴干。筛成粉末，用水送服二钱匕，时间久了效果更好。俗称为谷。另一种说法：谷田久废必生构，叶有瓣的叫楮，无瓣的叫构。《诗经·小雅》说：那里有高大的檀树，树下只有谷树。陆机疏注说：幽州叫它谷桑，或者叫楮桑。荆、杨、交、广地区叫它谷。江南人绩其皮做成布。又捣碎用来造纸，长数丈，光泽很好。又吃它的嫩芽，当作蔬菜。主治四肢风痹，赤白下痢。其叶主治鼻出血。《短剧》说：鼻衄流血数升不止的，取楮叶捣取汁饮用三升，不止再喝几次，效果神奇。长期鼻衄也能痊愈。纸也入药。见于刘禹锡《传信方》治疗女子月经淋漓不尽，来潮无定时。取案头纸三十张，烧成灰，用半升清酒调和服用，立刻安定。如果是冬天就温酒服用。产后血晕，服用此方立即见效。已经死亡的，去掉板齿灌服，过一天也能复活。现在楮纸使用最广泛，有时也用其灰，止金创出血，非常有效。楮布不见有记载，医方只重视楮实，其余也很少用。民间有时取其木枝中的白汁，涂治癣疾非常有效。杨炎《南行方》治疗瘴痢不分老少，日夜百余次的，取干……
雷公说：凡是使用，采得后用水浸泡三天，用物搅动投入水中，浮起的去掉，然后晒干，再用酒浸泡一个时辰，便蒸，从巳时至亥时，取出，焙干使用。《圣惠方》：治疗癣湿瘙痒。用楮叶半斤，细切捣烂，敷在癣上。《外台秘要》：近效方。伤寒流行后两胁胀满，脐下如水肿，用谷枝汁随意服用，痊愈。又一方：有人虚肥多年，气上冲如水病，面肿脚不肿。用谷楮叶八两，用水一斗，煮取六升，去渣，加米煮粥吃。又一方：点眼翳。取楮白皮晒千，合在一起搓成绳子粗细如钗股，烧成灰，待冷细研如面粉。每次点在翳上，每天三、五次，逐渐消退。又一方：头风白屑如麸糠方。竖截楮木做枕头，六十天换一次新的。《肘后方》：治疗卒中风不能说话。锉碎谷枝、叶，酒煮熟，皮中泡沫出来，随多少饮之。又一方治疗小儿鼻衄，稍劳累就出血。取楮树叶汁饮用三升，不止，四、五次饮用，良效。此方，长期鼻衄也能痊愈。《经验后方》：炼谷子煎法：取谷子五升，六月六日采集，用水一石，煮取五升去渣，微火煎如饴糖状，即可使用。《广利方》：治疗蝎子螫人疼痛不止方：谷树白汁，涂抹立刻痊愈。《子母秘录》：小儿赤白痢，口渴及得水吃又呕逆方：炙构叶令香黄，用浆水半升浸构叶，使水变绿色，然后去叶，取木瓜一个切开，纳入叶汁中，煮两三沸，去木瓜，趁暖细细服用，渴停。《抱朴子》：楮实红色的服用它，老者变年轻，让人夜间能看清鬼神。道士梁顿，七十岁才服用它，更觉少壮，到一百四十岁，能夜间出行及骑马奔跑。杨尧辅说：患人嗜睡，捣花谷叶服用，有效。《修真秘旨》：服用楮实的人，往往导致骨软病。《丹房镜源》：构汁，搜索药砂子。
Celtis Sinensis Fruit (Chu Shi)
Sweet in flavor, cold in nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats impotence (Yin痿), edema (Shui Zhong), benefits Qi and fills the flesh, brightens the eyes. Long-term consumption prevents hunger and aging, lightening the body. Grows in Mount Shaoshi.
Also known as Gu Shi. Available everywhere. Fruits are harvested in August and September, sun-dried, and processed over forty days.
Leaves (Ye)
Sweet in flavor, non-toxic. Primarily treats fever in children (Xiao Er Shen Re), failure of muscles to grow after eating, and can be used as a bath decoction. Also treats malignant sores (E Chuang) and promotes tissue regeneration.
Bark (Shu Pi)
Primarily expels water (Zhu Shui) and promotes urination (Li Xiao Bian).
Stems (Jing)
Primarily treats pruritic urticarial papules and plaques (Yin Zhen) with itching. Boiled alone for bathing. The white juice between the bark treats tinea (Xuan).
Tao Hongjing states: This is the current Gou tree (Gou Shu). In immortal prescriptions, it is collected, pounded, and its juice taken with pills; it can also be taken dry, enabling one to communicate with spirits and see ghosts. Southerners call it Gu paper or Chu paper. People in Wuling make clothes from Gu bark, which are very durable. Ministers Yu Xi et al. note according to *Shu Ben Tu Jing*: There are two types of trees; those with fruits and leaves resembling grapes are superior. Fruits are harvested in August, recognizable everywhere. *Yao Xing Lun* records: Gu wood bark can be used alone. Sweet in flavor, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Treats edema and abdominal fullness. Leaves are dried, fried into powder, mixed with flour to make food, treating watery dysentery (Shui Li). Duan Chengshi's *Youyang Zazu* states: Gou trees must grow in abandoned grain fields. Leaves with lobes are called Chu; without lobes, they are called Gou. Ri Huazi states: Chu Shi strengthens sinews and bones, assists Yang Qi, tonifies deficiency and fatigue, benefits waist and knees, and enhances complexion. Bark with spots is Chu; white bark is Gu. He adds that Chu leaves are cool and non-toxic, treating wind-induced body itching, referring to the spotted Gu tree. He also notes that Gou tree juice applied to snake, insect, bee, or dog bites, combined with Cinnabar (Zhu Sha), forms a mass called Wu Jin Jiao Qi.
*TU JING* states: Chu Shi grows in Mount Shaoshi and is now available everywhere. There are two types: one has spotted patterns on the bark, called Ban Gu, currently used for making hats; the other has no patterns, with similar branches and leaves. The best type has leaves resembling grape leaves with lobes and fruits. The fruit appears in early summer, like a pellet, green, turning deep red by June-July when mature. Harvested in August-September, soaked in water to remove skin and pulp, taking only the central seed. Sun-dried. Immortal prescriptions use the fruit alone. Collect the central seeds when fully red, dry in shade. Sift into powder, take 2 qian bi with water; efficacy increases over time. Commonly called Gu. Another theory: Gou trees grow in abandoned fields; leaves with lobes are Chu, without are Gou. *Classic of Poetry · Xiao Ya* says: "There stands a tall elm, beneath it only Gu trees." Lu Ji's commentary states: Youzhou calls it Gu Sang or Chu Sang. Jing, Yang, Jiao, Guang regions call it Gu. Jiangnan people process its bark into cloth. It is also pounded to make paper, several zhang long, with excellent luster. Its tender buds are eaten as vegetables. Treats wind-bi in four limbs, bloody and white dysentery. Its leaves treat epistaxis (Bi Hong). *Duan Ju* states: For severe epistaxis flowing liters continuously, take Chu leaves, pound to extract juice, drink 3 sheng; if not stopped, drink repeatedly; highly effective. Chronic epistaxis also heals. Paper is also used in medicine. Seen in Liu Yuxi's *Chuan Xin Fang* treating women with menorrhagia (Yue Jing Bu Jue) occurring irregularly. Take 30 sheets of desk paper, burn to ash, mix with half sheng of clear wine, take at once to stabilize. In winter, take with warm wine. For postpartum blood dizziness (Ru Zhong Xue Yun), take this formula for immediate effect. For the deceased, remove incisors and灌 (irrigate); alive after one day. Currently, Chu paper is widely used; sometimes its ash stops bleeding from metal wounds (Jin Chuang), very effective. Chu cloth is rarely seen; medical formulas value Chu Shi most, others are rarely used. Folk remedies sometimes use the white juice from wooden branches to apply to tinea, very effective. Yang Yan's *Nan Xing Fang* treats malarial dysentery (Zhang Li) regardless of age, occurring over a hundred times day and night, taking dried...
Lei Gong states: When using, soak collected material in water for three days, stir and drop into water, discard floating parts, then sun-dry. Soak in wine for one fu shi (approx. 2 hours), then steam from Si hour to Hai hour, remove, and bake dry. *Sheng Hui Fang*: Treats tinea with dampness and itching. Use half jin of Chu leaves, finely cut and pounded, apply to tinea. *Wai Tai Mi Yao*: Recent effectiveness. After epidemic fevers, distension in hypochondrium, edema-like sensation below umbilicus, take Gou branch juice freely until cured. Another formula: For chronic emaciation turned obese, Qi rushing up like water disease, facial swelling but no leg swelling. Take eight liang of Gu/Chu leaves, boil in one dou of water to get six sheng, remove dregs, add rice to cook porridge and eat. Another formula: For eye nebula (Yan Yi). Take white bark of Chu, sun-dry, bundle into rope thickness like hairpin shaft, burn to ash, cool and grind fine like flour. Apply to nebula each time, 3-5 times daily, gradually dissipates. Another formula: Head wind with white scales like bran. Vertically cut Chu wood to make pillow, replace with new one every sixty days. *Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang*: Treats sudden wind stroke unable to speak. Chop Gou branches and leaves, cook in wine until foam emerges from bark, drink appropriate amount. Another formula treats pediatric epistaxis triggered by slight exertion. Take Chu leaf juice, drink 3 sheng; if not stopped, drink 4-5 times; good. This formula also cures chronic epistaxis. *Jing Yan Hou Fang*: Refining Gu Zi decoction method: Take five sheng of Gu Zi, harvested on June 6th, boil in one shi of water to get five sheng, remove dregs, simmer gently like maltose syrup, ready for use. *Guang Li Fang*: Treating pain from scorpion stings not stopping: Apply Gou tree white juice, heals immediately. *Zi Mu Mi Lu*: Pediatric bloody and white dysentery with thirst, drinking causes vomiting: Roast Gou leaves until fragrant and yellow, soak in half sheng of sour liquid to turn water green, remove leaves, cut one Quince (Mu Gua), put in leaf juice, boil 2-3 boils, remove Quince, take warm slowly, stop when thirst ceases. *Bao Pu Zi*: Red Chu Shi consumed makes the old young again, allowing night vision and seeing spirits. Daoist Liang Dun took it at seventy, felt younger and stronger, lived to 140, able to walk at night and ride horses. Yang Yaofu says: For patients addicted to sleep, pounded flower Chu leaves taken orally are verified effective. *Xiu Zhen Mi Zhi*: Those who consume Chu Shi often suffer from bone softening disease (Gu Ruan Ji). *Dan Fang Jing Yuan*: Gou juice searches medicinal cinnabar grains.
