谷芽的本草考证

Herbal Textual Research of Setariae Fructus Germinatus

谷芽是一味常用的传统中药,至今已有几千年使用历史。在古今典籍及著作记载中,由于其名称与基原关系交错复杂,常被混淆。为了厘清谷芽的名称与本草来源,笔者通过查阅古代本草典籍、现代中医药专著、历版《中国药典》和各省的炮制规范,对谷芽的名称和基原进行考证,并整理其炮制沿革,发现我国不同地域皆按其当地习惯使用谷芽,导致谷芽"同名异物",缺乏统一标准,建议后续将"谷芽"更名为"粟芽",这样更加贴合实际,以便于谷芽质量精准控制和临床准确应用。

Setariae Fructus Germinatus(Guya)is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine,which has been used for thousands of years.In ancient and modern books and works,the name is often confused because of its complicated relationship with the origin.In order to clarify the name and source of Guya,the authors examined the name,origin and processing history of Guya through consulting ancient Chinese herbal books,modern Chinese medicine monographs,calendar edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the processing standards of various provinces,and found that different regions in China used Guya according to their local habits,resulting in the foreign body of the same name of Guya,lacking a unified standard.It is suggested that changing the name of Guya to Suya is more practical,and is conducive to the quality standard research and clinical accurate application of Guya.
