textual research: it comes from Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica (① Classic of Materia Medica): "Artemisia capillaris can be found in all the short-cut ways nowadays, but it is not as good as Mount Tai. Spring-born seedlings, three or five inches tall, are like Artemisia scoparia with tight leaves and no flowers. After autumn, the leaves are withered, and the stems do not die after winter. In spring, new leaves are born because of the old seedlings, hence the name Artemisia scoparia. In May and July, the stems and leaves were dried in the shade, which is now called "Mountain Yin Chen". There is another kind of Artemisia capillaris in jiangning house, which has thick leaves and yellow-white color, and bears flowers in summer. There is a kind of Artemisia annua in Jizhou, which is also like Artemisia annua and has a white back. It is used as medicine locally. Today, there are several kinds of Artemisia capillaris used by doctors in the south, or it is said that users of Artemisia capillaris in Beijing and in the north, such as Artemisia argyi, have thin leaves and white back, and their breath is like wormwood, which tastes bitter and is black when dry. Used in the south of the Yangtze River, the stems and leaves are as big as home wormwood, three or four feet high, extremely fragrant and sweet, also known as borneol mint. It is used by Wuzhong, but it is fragrant and soft, with fine leaves, yellow color and pungent taste, very fragrant and strong, warm in nature, and it is annoying to take it by mistake as a spleen-relieving medicine. According to Materia Medica, there is Artemisia capillaris, but there is no Artemisia capillaris. "Materia Medica" notes that Artemisia capillaris leaves are as tight and thin as Artemisia capillaris, and it is also used as Artemisia capillaris in the lower and northern parts of Beijing today. Generally speaking, Shanyinchen is used to treat brain pain, relieve typhoid fever and sweating, stagnate qi in limbs, eliminate phlegm and benefit diaphragm, and treat fatigue. Detailed "Materia Medica" is serious, but treating jaundice and facilitating urination should not be done with the world. This paper tries to take Herba Artemisiae Scopariae used in Beijing as a medicine for relieving muscle and sweating, but it has little effect. Herba Artemisiae Scopariae in the south of the Yangtze River is absolutely superior in treating cold and brain pain. This is seen in medical discussions. It is said that Herba Artemisiae Scopariae can also relieve muscle diaphragm and get rid of chest annoyance, but it can be studied and taken as a drink. There is nothing in Materia Medica, so Herba Artemisiae Scopariae is another thing, and the main treatment is different, so it is not necessary to force Herba Artemisiae Scopariae. There is no basis for this statement, but compared with merit, those in the south of the Yangtze River will win, and what is said by scripture is not published in Materia Medica. It is used by doctors, and the efficacy can be counted. The meaning of Materia Medica is even more important. " (2) Compendium: "Yinchen, in the past, many people were vegetables, so Yinchen was used as medicine, so Yinchen from other families was also used. Hong Shunyu's "Laopu Fu" says: The palm of purple ginger is rotten, and the silk of mu acyl green Chen is also. Today, on February 2nd, Huaiyang people still ate wild wormwood seedlings and made wormwood cakes with flour. Later generations spread the story according to local conditions, which led to confusion. Today, Artemisia scoparia seedlings were born in February, with stems like wormwood, leaves like pale Artemisia annua with white back, tight, thin and flat leaves, fine flowers in September, yellow, as strong as wormwood, and flowers that are in harmony with temples. The flowers are similar, and there are also those who have no flowers. " 3 "Materia Medica Chongyuan": "A flowering and fruiting person, whose name is Linger Yinchen; Those who have no flowers are famous for their hairy wormwood; As a medicine, the one who has no flowers wins. ④ "Ben Jing Feng Yuan": "There are two kinds of Herba Artemisiae Scopariae: one is called Mianyinchen, whose leaves are as thin as Artemisia annua, and it is specialized in diuresis and is an essential medicine for damp-heat jaundice. There is a kind of person who gives birth to a bell, which is famous for its wormwood and Artemisia scoparia. Its taste is bitter and bitter, and it is specialized in killing insects and treating aphtha. The Classic deals with rheumatism, cold and heat, jaundice caused by heat, and diseases caused by dampness and stagnation of Yangming, all referring to Mianyinchen. " ⑤ Records of Traditional Chinese Medicine: "The records of this product in past dynasties are similar to Artemisia capillaris, which is the most widely used in the market at present. The Book of Materia Medica contains a kind of wormwood in jiangning house, which is similar to the wormwood with white flowers used today. In addition, it is recorded under the title of Artemisia selengensis in the Book of Materia Medica: Artemisia selengensis is used as Artemisia capillaris in this state, and the seedlings are similar, but it may not be used as medicine. It is also like the plant Artemisia annua. Therefore, according to the "Materia Medica", there are many ancient medicinal herbs called Yinchen, and there are also famous mountains and stone Yinchen. However, from the perspective of its curative effect, they are all different, so it is not appropriate to mix them. "
