Abstract
|
|
|
Objects : This study aimed to identify the origin species of Ulmi Cortex and Ulmi Semen Pasta.
Methods : I searched for different types of ¡®Yu(êø)¡¯ from Zhong Xiu Zheng Huo Jing Shi Zheng Lei Bei Yong Ben Cao
(ñìáóïÙûúÌèÞÈñû×¾ÝáéÄÜâõ®) of the Song Dynasty, then compared the descriptions of Yu with real life species. Items that were inconsistent were sequentially deleted to finally find the original species that satisfies all conditions.
Results : There were five types of Yu : Jiyu(ò¢êø), Jayu(í©êø), Langyu(ÕÍêø), Goyu(Í´êø), and Baekyu(ÛÜêø). Jiyu was Sanguisorba officinalis or Sanguisorba officinalis var. longifolia which was a herb. Jayu was Hemiptelea davidii
(Hance) Planch. which had thorns on its branches. Ulmus laciniata had leaves that split into three branches. Langyu was Ulmus parvifolia which beared fruit in the fall. For these reasons, the four items above were ruled out. The fruit
of Goyu was Ulmi Semen Pasta, which was the largest among fruits and was therefore Ulmus macrocarpa. The fruit
of Baekyu was Yuhyup(êøúø) and the ancient coin Yuhyupjeon(êøúøï±) was resembled Yuhyup. The normal pulse of the
lung resembled the appearance of falling Yuhyup. The peel of Baekyu was Yubaekpi(êøÛÜù«), and when it was removed
from coarse bark, contained an abundance of white sap; the place where this sap overflowed on the stem bark was white, therefore Baekyu was identified as Ulmus pumila.
Conclusions : From the results above, the origin species of Ulmi cortex was Ulmus pumila and the origin species of
Ulmi Semen Pasta was Ulmus macrocarpa.
