There are many aliases. For example, Tujing Materia Medica is called Xueteng, and Textual Research on Plant Names says that there are many Lushan Mountains in Jiangxi today, and Tujing is famous for promoting blood circulation. Others include Huoxue Teng, Xue Tong, Xuemutong, Shanhongteng, Hongxueteng and Wuhua Xueteng. The new editions of Contemporary Materialist Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Identification of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Colleges and Universities are listed as red vines, while the new editions of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Colleges and Universities and Cut and Use of Traditional Chinese Medicine (65438+2000 10 edition) by China Traditional Chinese Medicine Publishing House are listed as red vines.

Spatholobus reticulata
It is the vine stem of leguminous climbing plants, such as bean dense flower, fragrant flower cliff bean vine, evergreen oil vine and so on. Some people think that this medicine comes from Compendium of Materia Medica, but its plant description and drawings are different from today's.
The real name is from the Qing Dynasty? In Wang Ang's Compendium of Materia Medica, other materia medica also contain aliases such as "Xuefengteng" and "Xueteng". Caulis Spatholobi is the stem of Sargentodoxa (i.e. Caulis Sargentodoxae, Caulis Sargentodoxae, described later) in parts of Northeast China, Northwest China, Central South China, etc., and Caulis Spatholobi is the stem of Schisandra chinensis of Magnoliaceae and Schisandra chinensis in Yunnan.
Spatholobus suberectus is mainly produced in Guangxi and Guangdong. It tastes bitter and sweet and belongs to the liver meridian.

Can be used for treating gynecological diseases such as menoxenia, menoxenia, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea due to blood deficiency, rheumatism, numbness of hands and feet, limb paralysis, and flaccidity due to blood deficiency. But also has a certain curative effect on leukopenia.
The naming methods of traditional Chinese medicine are rich and colorful. As far as rattan medicinal materials are concerned, those who can shed red juice or have red skin color when fresh-cut are traditionally named after the words "blood", "red" and "red", hence the names Spatholobus suberectus and Caulis Sargentodoxae.
These mixed or overlapping nonstandard drug names have brought great trouble to the actual drug use. Caulis Sargentodoxae and Caulis Spatholobi are two kinds of medicinal materials with different sources and functions.
