\r芜菁及芦菔\pd520.bmp\r
味苦，温，无毒。主利五脏，轻身益气，可长食之。芜菁子，主明目。
陶隐居云∶芦菔是今温菘，其根可食，叶不中啖。芜菁根乃细于温菘，而叶似菘，好
食。西川唯种此，而其子与温菘甚相似，小细尔。俗方∶无用，服食家亦炼饵之，而不云芦
菔子，恐不用也。俗人蒸其根及作菹，皆好，但小熏臭尔。又有KT 根，细而过辛，不宜
服
之。
唐本注云∶芜菁，北人名蔓荆，根、叶及子，乃是菘类，与芦菔全别，至于体用亦殊。今言
芜菁子似芦菔，或谓芦菔叶不堪食，兼言小薰体，是江表不产二物，斟酌注铭，理丧其真尔
。其蔓荆子，疗黄胆，利小便。水煮三升，取浓汁服，主症瘕积聚；少饮汁，主霍乱，心腹
胀；末服，主目暗。其芦菔别显后条。今按陈藏器本草云∶芜菁，主急黄，黄胆及内黄，
腹结不通。捣为末，水绞汁服，当得嚏，鼻中出黄水及下痢。《仙经》云∶长服可断谷，长

芜菁和芦菔（萝卜）
味苦，性温，无毒。主要功效是通利五脏，使身体轻健、益气，可以长期食用。芜菁子，主要功效是明目。
陶隐居说：芦菔就是现在的温菘（一种白菜类蔬菜），它的根可以吃，叶子不适合吃。芜菁的根比温菘细，但叶子像菘菜，很好吃。西川地区只种植这种，它的种子与温菘非常相似，只是稍微细小一些。民间方剂中很少使用，但服食养生的人也会炼制服用它，但不提及芦菔的种子，恐怕是不使用的。普通人蒸食其根或做成腌菜都很好，只是略带一点烟熏臭味。还有一种KT根，味道细碎且过于辛辣，不适合服用。
《唐本草》注解说：芜菁，北方人叫它蔓荆，根、叶和种子，属于菘类，与芦菔完全不同，至于形体和作用也有差异。现在说芜菁子像芦菔，或者说芦菔叶子不能吃，兼带说它有轻微的烟熏气味，这是因为江表地区不产这两种东西，斟酌注释时，道理失去了真相。蔓荆子，治疗黄疸，通利小便。用水煮三升，取浓汁服用，主治症瘕积聚（腹内结块）；少量饮用汁液，主治霍乱，心腹胀满；研末服用，主治目暗不明。芦菔在后面单独列出条目。现在参考陈藏器《本草》说：芜菁，主治急黄、黄疸及内黄，腹部结滞不通。捣成粉末，用水绞汁服用，应当打喷嚏，鼻中流出黄水并伴有腹泻。《仙经》说：长期服用可以断绝谷食，长生不老，也是捣成粉末用酒送服。蔓荆园中没有蜘蛛，这是它们相互畏惧的表现。制成油加入面膏中，能让人去除黑斑。现在并州、汾州、河朔之间，烧食其根，称为芜根，仍然是芜菁的名称，芜菁是南北的通称。塞北种植的，名叫九英蔓荆，根大，并且被用作军粮。菘菜，南方土地种植的大多是这种。臣禹锡等人谨按《尔雅》说：须，即芜。解释说：《诗经·谷风》说：采葑采菲。毛传说：葑，就是须。先儒就用须葑苁来对应。孙炎说：须，又名葑苁。郭璞注说：芜似羊蹄，叶子细，味道酸，可以吃。《礼记·坊记》注说：，即蔓荆。陈、宋之间称之为。陆机说：葑、芜菁，幽州人叫它芥。《方言》说：荛，就是芜菁。陈、楚之间叫它，齐、鲁之间叫它荛，关西叫它芜菁，赵、魏地区叫它大芥。、葑音同芜菁也，蔓荆也，芜也，荛也，芥也，这七种名称指的是一种植物。孟诜说：蔓荆，消食下气。它的种子，经过九次蒸煮九次晾晒，捣成粉，服用可以长生。压榨油涂抹头发，能使白发变黑。另外，研磨种子加入面脂中，极能去皱。另外，捣碎种子，用水调和服用，治疗热黄，结实不通。不久就会腹泻，一切恶物、沙石、草、头发都会排出。又通利小便。另外，女子妒乳肿（哺乳期乳房肿痛），取其根生捣后，加盐、醋、浆水煮，取汁清洗，五、六次痊愈。另外捣碎混合鸡蛋清封贴，也很好。萧炳说：蔓荆子，另外入丸药使用，使人肥壮健壮，尤其适合妇女。刘禹锡《嘉话录》说：诸葛亮驻扎的地方，命令士兵只种蔓荆，因为：刚发芽时可以生吃，这是一；叶子舒展后可以煮食，这是二；久住则随之滋长，这是三；丢弃也不可惜，这是四；返回时容易寻找采摘，这是五；冬天有根可以砍伐食用，这是六。比起其他蔬菜，它的利益不是很丰富吗？三蜀地区的人，现在称呼蔓荆为诸葛菜，江陵也是这样。日华子说：蔓荆，梗短叶大，连地上生长，阔叶红色的是蔓荆。
《图经》说：芜菁和芦菔，旧籍没有记载出产的州土，现在南北都普遍有。芜菁就是蔓荆，芦菔就是下莱菔（音卜），现在俗呼萝蔔是也。这两种蔬菜，北方土地种植尤其多。芜菁，四季都有，春天吃苗，夏天吃心，也叫苔子，秋天吃茎，冬天吃根，河朔地区尤其多种植，也可以备荒年。蔬菜中最有益的就是这个。经常食用，通中益气，使人肥壮健壮。《嘉话录》说：诸葛亮驻扎的地方，命令士兵只种蔓荆，因为：刚发芽时可以生吃，这是一；叶子舒展后可以煮食，这是二；久住则随之滋长，这是三；丢弃也不可惜，这是四；返回时容易寻找采摘，这是五；冬天有根可以砍伐食用，这是六。比起其他蔬菜，它的利益不是很丰富吗？刘禹锡说：确实如此。三蜀、江陵的人，现在称呼蔓荆为诸葛菜，就是这样。其实是在夏秋成熟时采摘。仙方：也可以单服。用水煮三次，直到苦味尽除，晒干，捣筛，用水送服二钱匕，每天三次。长期增加服用，可以辟谷。又治疗发黄，小肠药用它。又主治青盲（视力减退）。崔元亮《海上方》说：只要瞳孔没有损坏的，治疗十个能好九个。蔓荆子六升，蒸一次，看蒸汽遍透，合上甑盖，用釜中热汤淋浇，然后晒干，再淋浇，这样重复三次，就取出来杵碎筛成粉末。饭后用清酒送服二寸匕，每天两次。涂面膏也有用的。又治疗乳痈痛寒热，取蔓荆根和叶，净择去土，不用水洗，用盐捣敷在乳房上，热了就换，不超过三、五次更换，就好了。冬天没有叶子，只用根也可以，切须避风。南方人取北方的种子种植，第一年相似，到二、三年就变成菘了。莱菔的功效也相同，然而药力猛烈更在其之上。断下方：也用其根烧熟入药，尤能制约面食毒性。以前有个婆罗门僧人从东边来，看见吃麦面的人说：这个大热，为什么吃它。又以解其性，从此相传，吃面必须吃芦菔。凡人饮食过度饱胀，宜生嚼它，很好。种子，研末用水送服，吐风涎非常有效。这有大、小两种，大的肉质坚实宜蒸食，小的白色而脆宜生吃。《尔雅》所谓，芦肥。郭璞说：紫花菘。俗呼温菘，像芜菁，根大。一名，俗呼雹突。那么紫花菘、温菘，都是南方人的称呼。吴人叫楚菘，广南人叫秦菘。河朔芦菔极大的，说法由来已久，而江南有国时有，得到安州、洪州、信阳的非常大，重达五、六斤，或者接近一秤，也是一时种植的力量所致。现在医生用它治疗消渴，其方：取出子萝卜三枚，洗净，薄切，晒干，一味药捣罗为散。每次服二钱，煎猪肉汤澄清调下，饭后临睡，每天三次，逐渐增至三钱，病愈。
食疗：性温。下气，治黄疸，利小便。根主治消渴，治热毒风肿。食用令人气胀满。圣惠方：治疗风疹入腹，身体强直，舌干躁硬。用蔓荆子三两为末，每次温酒下一钱匕。外台秘要：治疗心腹胀。蔓荆熟，研水一升，再和研，滤取汁，可得一盏，顿服之。不久自然转利，或出汗，痊愈。又方：阴黄，汗染衣，涕唾黄。取蔓菁子捣末，平旦以井花水服一匙，每天两次，加至两匙，以知为度。每夜小便重浸少许帛子，各书记日色，渐退白则病愈，不过服五升以内。又方：轻身益气，明目。芜菁子一升，水九升，煮令汁尽，晒干。如此三次，捣末。水服方寸匕，每天三次。又方：治疗瘭疽着手足肩背，累累如米起，色白，刮之汁帛裹敷之，烂止。千金方：治疗头秃。芜菁子末，酢和敷之，每天三次。又烂研，入常用面脂中良。又方：常服明目，洞视，肥肠。芜菁子三升，以服方寸匕，加至三匕，每天三次，无所忌。肘后方：重发。治之，服蔓荆葛氏方：卒肿毒起，急痛。芜菁根大者，削去上皮熟捣，苦酒和如泥，煮三沸，急搅之敷肿，帛裹上，每天多次更换。经验后方：治疗虚劳眼暗。采三月蔓荆花，阴干为末。以井花水每空心调下二钱匕。久服长生，可夜读书。孙真人食忌治黄疸，皮肤、眼睛如金色，小便赤。生寸匕，每天三次。又方：主一切热肿毒。取生蔓荆根一握，盐花入少讫和捣，敷肿上，每天三次更换。集疗：男子阴肿如斗大，核痛，人所不能治者，芜菁根捣敷之。兵部手寒热，敷救十余人方：蔓荆根、叶，净择去土，不用洗，以盐捣敷乳上。热即换，不超过三、五次。冬天无叶即用根，切须避风。伤寒类要：神仙教子法：立春后有庚子日，温芜菁汁，合家大小并服，不限多少，可理时疾。又方：急黄。服蔓荆子油一盏，顿服之。临时无油，则蔓荆子杵汁，水和之服亦用之有效。子母秘录：治疗妊娠小便不利。芜菁子末，水服方寸匕，抱朴子：大醋煮芜菁子令熟，晒干为末，井花水服方寸匕，每天三次，尽《诗》云：我有旨蓄，可以御冬。
衍义说：芜菁、芦菔，是两种蔬菜。芦菔，就是萝卜。芜菁，现在世俗叫它蔓荆。夏天枯死，在这个时候，蔬圃中重新种植它，叫鸡毛菜。吃心，正是在春季。各种蔬菜之中，有益无损，于世有功。采集之气。河东、太原所出极大，其他地方不及，又出自吐谷浑。后来在莱菔条中，《尔雅》解释：只名芦菔，现在叫萝卜是也。那么芜菁条中，不应该再说及芦菔二字，显见重复。以《尔雅》为正。
Turnip and Radish (Wujing and Lufu)
Bitter in taste, warm in nature, non-toxic. Primarily benefits the five zang organs, lightens the body, and supplements qi; it can be consumed for a long time. Wujing seeds primarily benefit vision.
Tao Hongjing stated: Lufu is the current Wensong (a type of cabbage-like vegetable); its root is edible, but its leaves are not suitable for consumption. The root of Wujing is thinner than that of Wensong, while its leaves resemble Song vegetables and are delicious. In the Xichuan region, only this variety is cultivated, and its seeds are very similar to those of Wensong, merely slightly finer. Folk prescriptions rarely use it, but practitioners of dietary therapy also refine and consume it, though they do not mention Lufu seeds, suggesting they are likely unused. Common people steam the roots or make pickles from them, which are both good, albeit with a slight smoky odor. There is also a KT root, which is finely textured and overly pungent, making it unsuitable for consumption.
The *Tang Bencao* commentary notes: Wujing is called Manjing in the north. Its roots, leaves, and seeds belong to the Brassica campestris var. rapifera group, completely distinct from Lufu, differing in both physical form and therapeutic application. The assertion that Wujing seeds resemble Lufu, or that Lufu leaves are inedible, coupled with the mention of a slight smoky quality, stems from the fact that these two plants were not produced in the Jiangbiao region; thus, the annotations lost their accuracy through speculation. Manjing seeds treat jaundice and promote urination. Boil three sheng in water, take the concentrated juice, to treat zhizhen jiju (abdominal masses); drinking small amounts treats huoluan (cholera-like disorder) and abdominal distension; taking the powder treats dim vision. Lufu is listed separately later. Consulting Chen Cangqi's *Bencao*: Wujing treats acute jaundice, internal jaundice, and abdominal obstruction. Grind into powder, extract juice with water, and ingest; sneezing should occur, followed by the discharge of yellow fluid from the nose and diarrhea. The *Xianjing* states: Long-term consumption enables grain avoidance (bigu) and longevity; it is also ground into powder and taken with wine. Manjing gardens have no spiders, indicating mutual antagonism. When made into oil and added to facial creams, it removes dark spots. In the Bingzhou, Fenzhou, and Heshuo regions, the roots are roasted and eaten, called Wurgen, retaining the name Wujing, which is the common term across North and South. Cultivated in the northern frontier, it is named Jiuying Manjing, with large roots used as military rations. Song vegetables are mostly cultivated in southern lands. Ministers Yuxi et al., consulting the *Erya*, state: Xu refers to Wu. Explanation: The *Book of Songs · Gu Feng* says: "Gather feng and fei." Mao Zhuan states: Feng is xu. Ancient scholars equated xu, feng, and cong. Sun Yan said: Xu is also called fengcong. Guo Pu's commentary notes: Wu resembles sheep's sorrel, with fine leaves, sour taste, and is edible. Commentary on the *Book of Rites · Fang Ji*: refers to Manjing. In Chen and Song regions, it is called . Lu Ji stated: Feng and Wujing are called jie in Youzhou. The *Fangyan* states: Rao is Wujing. In Chen and Chu, it is called ; in Qi and Lu, it is called Rao; in Guanxi, it is called Wujing; in Zhao and Wei, it is called Dajie. , feng, wu, rao, jie—these seven names refer to one plant. Meng Shen stated: Manjing aids digestion and directs qi downward. Its seeds, after nine steaming and nine drying cycles, ground into powder, promote longevity. Pressed oil applied to hair turns gray hair black. Additionally, grinding seeds into facial cream effectively reduces wrinkles. Grinding seeds and mixing with water treats heat jaundice and constipation; diarrhea ensues shortly, expelling all impurities, sand, stones, grass, and hair. It also promotes urination. For women with nursing breast abscesses, crush fresh roots, mix with salt, vinegar, and fermented rice wash, and apply the juice externally; five to six applications cure it. Alternatively, mix with egg white and apply topically. Xiao Bing stated: Manjing seeds are used in pills to enhance physique and strength, particularly beneficial for women. Liu Yuxi's *Jiahua Lu* recorded: Wherever Zhuge Liang stationed, he ordered soldiers to cultivate Manjing exclusively because: 1) Sprouts are edible raw; 2) Leaves can be boiled and eaten; 3) They grow continuously during long stays; 4) Discarding them causes no regret; 5) They are easy to find and harvest upon return; 6) Roots are available for winter consumption. Compared to other vegetables, its utility is abundant. People in the Three Shu regions now call Manjing "Zhuge Vegetable," as do those in Jiangling. Rihua Zi stated: Manjing has short stalks and large leaves, growing above ground; broad red-leaved varieties are Manjing.
The *Tujing* states: Wujing and Lufu were not originally listed with specific origins; now they are widespread in both North and South. Wujing is Manjing; Lufu is the lower Radish (bu), commonly known as Luobo today. These two vegetables are especially abundant in the North. Wujing is available year-round: eat shoots in spring, hearts in summer (also called Taizi), stems in autumn, and roots in winter. Heshuo cultivates it extensively, using it for famine relief. Among vegetables, none is more beneficial. Regular consumption benefits the middle jiao, supplements qi, and promotes robustness. *Jiahua Lu* records: Zhuge Liang ordered Manjing cultivation for the same six reasons listed above. Liu Yuxi affirmed this. Harvest in late summer and autumn. Immortal prescription: Can be taken alone. Boil in water three times until bitterness disappears, dry, grind, and sift. Take two qian bi with water, three times daily. Long-term increased dosage enables bigu. Treats yellowing of the skin; used in small intestine formulas. Treats Qingming (blindness). Cui Yuanliang's *Haishang Fang* states: If the pupil is intact, nine out of ten cases heal. Six sheng of Manjing seeds: steam once until vapor penetrates, cover the pot, pour hot water from a cauldron over them, dry, repeat three times. Grind into powder. Take two cun bi with clear wine after meals, twice daily. Also used in facial creams. Treats mastitis with chills and fever: select clean Manjing roots and leaves, do not wash with water, crush with salt, apply to breasts; change when hot, within three to five changes, it heals. In winter, use roots only, avoiding wind. Southerners planting northern seeds resemble the original in the first year but turn into Song vegetables in the second or third year. Lufu has similar effects but is stronger. Duanyang Formula: Roasted roots are used in medicine to counteract wheat toxicity. A Brahmin monk from the East remarked on eating wheat noodles, calling them too heating, and advised consuming Lufu to neutralize this effect; hence, the tradition of eating Lufu with wheat products. For overeating, chewing raw Lufu is effective. Seeds ground and taken with water induce vomiting of phlegm-wind effectively. There are large and small varieties; large ones are firm and best steamed; small ones are white, crisp, and best eaten raw. *Erya* mentions "Lu Fei." Guo Pu described it as purple-flowered Song vegetable, commonly called Wensong, resembling Wujing with large roots. Another name is Baotu. Purple-flowered Song and Wensong are southern terms. Wu people call it Chu Song; Guangnan people call it Qin Song. Heshuo Lufu can be extremely large, a long-standing observation. During the Southern Tang period, specimens from Anzhou, Hongzhou, and Xinyang were very large, weighing five to six jin or nearly one sheng, due to favorable cultivation conditions. Physicians currently use it for xiaoke (wasting-thirst syndrome): Take three radishes, wash, slice thinly, dry, grind into powder. Take two qian, mixed with clarified pork broth, after meals and before bed, three times daily, gradually increasing to three qian until cured.
Dietary Therapy: Warm in nature. Directs qi downward, treats jaundice, promotes urination. Roots treat xiaoke and wind-heat swelling. Overconsumption causes qi stagnation and fullness. *Shenghui Fang*: Treats wind-rash entering the abdomen, body stiffness, dry tongue. Take three liang of Manjing seeds as powder, one qian bi with warm wine. *Waitai Miyao*: Treats abdominal distension. Cook Manjing, grind with one sheng of water, filter to obtain one zhan, take at once. Peristalsis or sweating follows, leading to recovery. Another formula: For Yin Jaundice (sweat stains clothes, yellow sputum/nasal discharge), take Manjing seed powder, one spoonful with well water at dawn, twice daily, increasing to two spoons until effective. Soak a cloth in urine nightly, record color daily; whiteness indicates cure, within five sheng. Another formula: Lightens body, supplements qi, brightens eyes. One sheng Wujing seeds, nine sheng water, boil until liquid is gone, dry, repeat three times, grind. Take one fang cun bi with water, three times daily. Another formula: Treats Biao Ju (carbuncles) on hands, feet, shoulders, back, appearing like millet grains, white; scrape juice, wrap in cloth, apply until suppuration stops. *Qianjin Fang*: Treats alopecia. Mix Manjing seed powder with vinegar, apply, three times daily. Grind and mix into facial cream. Another formula: Long-term use brightens eyes, improves night vision, nourishes intestines. Three sheng Wujing seeds, take one fang cun bi, increase to three, three times daily, no restrictions. *Zhouhou Fang*: Treats recurrent sores. Ge Shi Formula: Sudden swelling and pain. Large Wujing roots, peel outer skin, cook and crush, mix with vinegar to paste, boil three times, stir quickly, apply to swelling, wrap with cloth, change multiple times daily. *Jingyan Houfang*: Treats deficiency-related dim vision. Collect Manjing flowers in March, dry in shade, grind. Take two qian bi with well water on an empty stomach. Long-term use promotes longevity and night reading. Sun Simiao's Dietary Taboos: Treats jaundice with golden skin/eyes and red urine. Take raw [Manjing] one cun bi, three times daily. Another formula: Treats all heat-swelling toxins. Take a handful of fresh Manjing roots, add salt, crush, apply to swelling, three times daily. *Jiliao*: Men with scrotal swelling the size of a dou, painful nodules, untreatable by others: crush Wujing roots and apply. *Bingbu Shouji*: Chills and fever, saved over ten people: Manjing roots and leaves, clean without washing, crush with salt, apply to breasts. Change when hot, within three to five times.
