基于古文献中图版的药用植物巴戟天考证

Textual Research of Medicinal Plants Based on Illustration in Ancient Literature-Morindae Officinalis Radix as an Example

摘要:

历代医药文献为后人留下了丰富的宝藏,其中古文献中的药用植物图版更是中医药学的精华.以历代文献中的图版作为主要研究对象,是本草研究的重要手段.巴戟天始出《神农本草经》,历代本草都有记载.作为一种常用中药,现今已是“四大南药”之一,大量用于中医临床并出口.古今巴戟天品种基源不同,目前考证学者已经达成共识,对于古代巴戟天的品种的认识,目前有多种说法,各种考证也还没有明确定论.本文从古今巴戟天药材原植物考证出发,着重以历代本草绘图为研究对象,试图解释巴戟天的历史变迁.通过考证和药材市场的调查本文认为,归州巴戟天是现在的葡萄科三叶崖爬藤的地下块根;滁州巴戟天则是开口箭属植物的地下根茎.
