蒙药孟根乌苏（水银）炮制法探微

目的:考证蒙药孟根乌苏历代的炮制方法。方法:查阅古代和现代孟根乌苏炮制的文献资料,对古今文献中所收载的孟根乌苏炮制方法进行归纳、整理和文献循证。结果:蒙药孟根乌苏传统炮制方法始见于18世纪的《必用药剂诸品》,历代炮制分为除垢、去毒以及具体炮制等3个环节,炮制方法有软、热、寒、平、显、猛、缓、白、黑、速、硬制法等11种,历代炮制方法中有炮制名称一致,但炮制方法不一样,或炮制名称不一致,但炮制方法一样的现象。依据炮制内容可分为7种,其中孟根乌苏用硫黄炮制应用较为广泛。而现今沿用的仍以孟根乌苏用硫黄的炮制方法为主,分为热制法和寒制法2种,其来源于《甘露四部》的猛制法和平制法,并忽略除垢和去毒重要环节,而其他炮制方法已很少用或不用。结论:孟根乌苏用硫黄炮制方法至今使用。

Exploration of Mongolian Meng-Gen-Wu-Su (Mercury) Processing Method

This article was aimed to research the processing methods of Mongolian Meng-Gen -Wu -Su. Ancient and modern literatures which are related to the processing methods of Meng-Gen-Wu-Su were reviewed, summarized and sorted. The results showed that the traditional Mongolian Meng-Gen-Wu-Su processing method began in the eighteenth century in the book of Bi Yong Yao Ji Zhu Pin. The processing methods of all previous dynasties can be classified into three steps, which are descaling, detoxicating and specific drug processing. The processing methods contain soft, heat, cold, even, obvious, fierce, slow, white, black, speed and hard method. Among these 11 kinds of processing methods from all previous dynasties, some of them use the same processing name but the processing method are different; and some of them use different processing name but the processing methods are the same. Hence, there are 7 kinds of processing methods according to the processing content. Among them,the sulfur processing of Meng-Gen-Wu-Su is widely applied. This processing method is still used today and it can be divided into two kinds, which are the heat process and cold process. This method was originated from the fierce processing and even processing method in the book of Gan Lu Si Bu. And steps of descaling and detoxicating in the processing are ignored. Other processing methods have rarely been used or not used at all. It was concluded that the sulfur processing method of Mongolian Meng-Gen-Wu-Su is still used until now.
