柴胡为常用中药材,约从汉朝本草中就出现有关柴胡的记载。由于柴胡属物种较多、种间形态相似,而且历代本草对其形态描述不详,导致今人在判断古代中医临床中所使用的柴胡物种时造成很大的困难。总结分析历代重要本草中有关柴胡的形态和功效描述,综述现代学者对本草中柴胡种的鉴定研究结果,以厘清古代中医学家使用哪些柴胡种入药。在唐朝之前,中医使用的柴胡应为功效相似的一类柴胡属植物,后来逐步过渡到混用伞形科狭叶柴胡Bupleurum scorzonerifolium、银州柴胡B. yinchowense、石竹科银柴胡Stellaria dichotoma var. lanceolata等多种植物,到明清时期才将石竹科银柴胡从柴胡中区分出来,进一步明晰了其功效与柴胡有很大不同。明朝时出现了“北柴胡”的称谓,“南柴胡”的称谓则出现于民国时期。随着柴胡分类研究的深入,“北柴胡”和“南柴胡”逐渐与柴胡属植物柴胡B. chinense、狭叶柴胡一一对应。

[Abstract]
Bupleuri Radix, originally appeared in Chinese materia medica (CMM) dating from the Han Dynasty, is a commonly used herb in clinical practice. According to ancient Chinese medical literatures, the morphological description of Bupleuri Radix was vague based on the species-rich and similar patterns, thus it exhibited significantly problems in species identification of Bupleuri Radix which applied in ancient Chinese medicine clinical practice. This paper summarizes important descriptions of morphology and efficacy of Bupleuri Radix from CMM in past dynasties. Research results from modern scholars about identification Bupleuri Radix are summarized to find out which species of Bupleuri Radix in clinic by traditional Chinese physicians. A kind of Bupleurum plants, having consistent efficacy, were used by traditional Chinese physicians before the Tang Dynasty, then Bupleurum scorzonerifolium., B. yinchowense, and Stellariae dichotoma var. lanceolata were used as Bupleuri Radix simultaneously. Stellariae Radix, its efficacy is different from the efficacy of Bupleuri Radix, was distinguished from Bupleuri Radix in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. With the deepening of research of taxonomy, "Bei Chai Hu" (corresponded to B. chinese DC.) and "Nan Chai Hu" (corresponded to B. scorzonerifolium Willd.) first appeared in the Ming Dynasty and the Republic of China era respectively.
