翦为剪之古字,翦草即剪草。本草著作中最早对它作过形态描述的是唐·陈藏器,云:“剪草,味甚苦、平,无毒。至虫疮、疥癣,浸酒服之。生山泽间,叶如(艹名)而细,江东用之”。在这里,陈藏器只提到剪草“叶如(艹名)而细”,(艹名),即晚收的茶。由于描述的过于简单,据此很难断定为何种植物。到了宋代,苏颂在《图经本草》中曰:“翦草生润州,味苦,有毒。主诸疮疥、痂瘘蚀及牛马诸疮。二月三月采,暴干用”。并且附了一个“润州翦草”图。苏颂对翦草没有进行形态描述,却提到翦草是有毒的。此与藏器正相反,说明对翦草的认识进了一步。所附“润州翦草”图有这么几个特征:(一)根部多须。(二) 翦 剪 剪 剪 剪 剪 古 古 古 古 古 剪. The earliest description of the book in his work was Tang Chen’s Tibetan instrument. Cloud: “The grass is cut, the taste is very bitter, flat, and non-toxic. To the insect sores, crickets, dip in the wine service. Ye Ru (a name) and fine, Jiangdong use it.“ Here, the Tibetan instrument only mentions cutting grass “Ye Ye (艹名) and fine” (艹名), that is, the late harvest of tea. Since the description is too simple, it is difficult to determine what kind of plant is based on this. In the Song Dynasty, Su Song chanted in the ”Painting the Herbs“: ”Rungrass Runzhou is bitter, bitter, and poisonous. It mainly consists of sores, erosions, and sores of cows and horses. It was collected in February and used for dryness.“ And attached a ”Runzhou Maple Grass" map. Su Song did not give a description of the shape of the grass, but mentioned that the grass was poisonous. This is the opposite of Tibetan instruments, which shows that we have taken a step forward in our understanding of grass. The attached “Runzhou Maple Grass” map has several features: (1) The roots are more than necessary. (two)
