陶隐居说：形状像小芋头，肉白皮黄，附近道路沿线也有。《唐本草》注解说：赭魁，大的像斗，小的像升。
药
似杜蘅。蔓生草木上。有小毒。陶隐居所说的那种，其实是土卵。不堪药用，梁、汉地人称为黄独，蒸熟后食用。这不是赭魁。臣禹锡等谨按《蜀本图经》说：苗蔓延生，叶似萝摩，根像菝葜，皮紫黑，肉黄赤，大的轮径如升，小的若拳头，现在各地都有。根据《本经》说无毒。而苏恭说有小毒。又说陶隐居所说的是梁、汉人蒸食之物。那么无毒是明确的。则是陶隐居的说法正确。陈藏器说：按土卵，蔓生，根像芋头，人们用灰汁煮食它，没听说有什么功效。
贯众
味苦，微寒，有毒。主治腹中邪热之气，各种毒邪，杀灭三种寄生虫，去除寸白虫，破除症瘕积聚，消除头风，止住金疮出血。
花治疗恶疮，令人腹泻。又名贯节，又名贯渠，又名百头，又名虎卷，又名扁苻，又名伯萍，
又名乐藻。这指的是草鸱头。生长在玄山山谷及冤句少室山。二月、八月采挖根部，阴干。（菌为之使。）
陶隐居说：附近道路沿线也有。叶像大蕨类植物，其根形色毛芒，完全像老鸱头。所以称为草鸱头。臣禹锡
等谨按《尔雅》说：泺，即贯众。注：叶圆锐，茎毛黑，铺地生长，冬天不死，又名贯渠，《广雅》称贯节。
赤色，弯曲的称为草鸱头，治疗头风使用它。现在各地山谷阴处都有。《药性论》说：贯众，为使药。主治腹热，以赤小豆为使药。杀灭寸白虫。
《图经》说：贯众，生长在玄山山谷及冤句少室山，现在陕西、河东州郡及荆、襄间多有生长，而少有开花的。春天生苗，红色。叶大如蕨。茎秆三棱。叶绿色似小鸡瓴，又名凤尾草。根紫黑色，形如大瓜，下
有黑须毛，又似老鸱。《尔雅》说：泺（舒若切），即贯众。郭璞注说：叶圆锐，茎毛黑，铺地生长，冬天不死。《广雅》称之为贯节是正确的。三月采挖根部，晒干。荆南人取根研为末，水调服一钱匕，止鼻血有效。
Taste: Sweet; Nature: Neutral; Toxicity: Non-toxic. Mainly treats accumulations and masses in the heart and abdomen, eliminates three types of parasites. Grows in mountain valleys. Harvested in February.
Tao Hongjing stated: It resembles small taro roots, with white flesh and yellow skin, also found near major roads. The *Tang Bencao* commentary notes: Zhe Kui (Aristolochia debilis), the large ones are as big as a dou (a unit of volume), the small ones as big as a sheng (a unit of volume).
Medicinal material
Resembles Du Heng (Asarum heterotropoides var. mandshuricum). It grows as a vine on grass and trees. Has slight toxicity. What Tao described is actually Tu Luan (Dioscorea bulbifera var. aphylla). It is unsuitable for medicinal use. People in Liang and Han regions call it Huang Du (Dioscorea polystachya), steaming and eating it. This is not Zhe Kui.臣 Yuxi et al. carefully followed the *Shu Ben Tu Jing*: The seedlings grow spreading vines, leaves resemble Rhizoma Cynanchi Stauntonii (Luomo), roots resemble Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae (Baqian), skin is purple-black, flesh is yellow-red, large ones have a circumference like a sheng, small ones like fists, now available everywhere. According to the *Ben Jing*, it is non-toxic. But Su Gong said it has slight toxicity. Also mentioned that what Tao described was eaten by people in Liang and Han after steaming. Thus, it is clearly non-toxic. Therefore, Tao's statement is correct. Chen Cangqi stated: Regarding Tu Luan, it grows as a vine, roots resemble taro, people boil it with ash water to eat, but no efficacy is heard of.

also known as Le Zao. This refers to Cao Chi Tou (Cyrtomium fortunei). Grows in mountain valleys of Xuan Mountain and Yuanju Shaoshi Mountain. Roots harvested in February and August, dried in shade. (Fungi act as its guide drug.)
Tao Hongjing stated: Also found near major roads. Leaves resemble large ferns, roots' color, shape, and hairy bristles completely resemble an old owl's head. Hence called Cao Chi Tou.臣 Yuxi et al. carefully followed the *Erya*: Luo, i.e., Guan Zhong. Commentary: Leaves are round and sharp, stems are black and hairy, spread on the ground, do not die in winter, also known as Guan Qu, *Guangya* calls it Guan Jie.
Reddish, curved ones are called Cao Chi Tou, used to treat head wind. Now found in shady places in mountain valleys everywhere. *Yao Xing Lun* states: Guan Zhong acts as a guiding drug. Mainly treats abdominal heat, with Adzuki Bean (Chi Xiao Dou) as the guiding drug. Kills Taenia solium.
*TU Jing* states: Guan Zhong grows in mountain valleys of Xuan Mountain and Yuanju Shaoshi Mountain. Now widely grown in Shaanxi, Hedong prefectures, and between Jing and Xiang, but rarely flowers. Spring shoots emerge red. Leaves large like ferns. Stems are triangular. Leaves green resembling young chicken beaks, also known as Feng Wei Cao (Phoenix Tail Grass). Roots purple-black, shaped like large melons, with black hairy roots underneath, resembling an old owl. *Erya* states: Luo (pronounced Shuo Ruo Qie), i.e., Guan Zhong. Guo Pu's commentary states: Leaves are round and sharp, stems are black and hairy, spread on the ground, do not die in winter. *Guangya* calls it Guan Jie, which is correct. Roots harvested in March, sun-dried. People in Jingnan take the root powder, mix with water, and ingest one qian bi (a small measure), effective for stopping epistaxis.
