毛茸系指中草药表面附着的毛状物。具毛茸的中草药很多,例如辛夷、马钱子、枇杷叶、石韦、狗脊、白头翁、鼠曲草等等。毛茸不仅在中草药检验、鉴定上具有很大意义,而且与临床的关系亦十分密切。古人早就认识毛茸在医疗上具有一定的毒副作用,认为有些毛茸能“射人肺,令咳不已”,所以对附着毛茸特别多的中草药, Furry refers to the attachment of hair on the surface of Chinese herbs. There are a lot of hairy Chinese herbs, such as magnolia, breve, eucalyptus, stone shi, dog’s ridge, Pulsatilla, rat grass, and so on. Furry not only has great significance in the inspection and identification of Chinese herbal medicine, but also has a close relationship with the clinic. The ancients had long known that furry had certain toxic side effects in medical treatment. It was believed that some hairy fur could “shoot on the lungs and make it cough.” Therefore, Chinese herbal medicines with a lot of hairiness are attached.
