Zhang Yuanyuan: "ginseng is used for those with cold lung, and sand ginseng is used for those with hot lung. It tastes sweet. "

② Compendium: "ginseng is sweet, bitter and warm. Its body is heavy and solid. It is specially used to replenish the vital energy of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, it is beneficial to the lung and kidney. Therefore, it is appropriate to damage the vital energy internally. Shashen is sweet, light and cold. Its body is light and deficient. It is specially used to replenish lung qi, thus benefiting spleen and kidney. It is necessary to distinguish between tonifying yang to produce Yin and tonifying Yin to make Yang. "

③ "One hundred records of Materia Medica classic:" the lung governs Qi, so the medicine of the lung family, Qi wins most. But the product of Qi victory must be dry, and those who can nourish the lung are greasy and stagnant, but not empty. However, it is a kind of medicine for regulating blood in feijiaqi. It is white in color and light in body. It can dredge but not dry, moisten but not stagnate. It is not the case that blood is blocked in the lung. "

④ In the essay of Chongqing Tang, it is pointed out that "the sand ginseng can clear the lung, and the lung qi is Su, so the descending flow is smooth, and the Qi is salty, so the drugs for clearing the lung are all connected with small water. Yu said that those with lung had drowning, and those without lung had no drowning, so they could explore and break the organs. "

⑤ Ben Cao Zheng Yi: "the taste of sea cucumber is not bitter, but cold.". The constitution is light and clear, and the smell is thin. It is light and buoyant. Therefore, it is the master of Shangjiao and the master of Feijia. According to the book of Ben Jing, those who benefit the lung qi should get rid of the evil heat, that is, to benefit the healthy qi, which is not the justice of Tonifying the lung. However, later generations mistakenly believe that the special medicine for tonifying the lung does not know that the lung has excess heat, so it is appropriate to clear it, but the lung qi is insufficient, and it is absurd to clear it Although it is said that Shashen is light and clear, it is not as greasy and stagnant as Prinsepia, wheat and Anemarrhena asphodeloides. However, the cold nature is quite abundant, and the lung is free of heat evil, which is enough to damage the vitality and make cold. Miao Zhongchun is only forbidden to cough in the cold of the lung, and it is still suspected that it is sparse but not dense. According to Li Linhu's compendium, Radix Glehniae is the main cause of lung impotence. If Shenyan, then lung carbuncle, lung flaccidity syndrome similar, and a solid and a virtual, opposite back, carbuncle congestion, this is real heat, urgent need to clear
