[Dialectic research on "shu pu" (referring a symptom) and "shu pu" (referring a place)].
The name of "shu pu" come from Shen shi fang (Prescriptions of Master Shen), which was quoted by Wai tai mi yao (Medical Secrets of an Official), compiled by Wang Tao of the Tang dynasty. In the successive processes of Zheng lei ben cao (Classified Materia Medica) and Ben cao gang mu (Compendium of Materia Medica), it was mixed up with "shu pu", a symptom, in Su wen ci jin lun (On Banning of Acupuncture in Plain Questions), and "shu pu", a place, in Zhen jiu jia yi jing (A -- B Classin of Acupuncture and Moxibustion). In fact, "shu pu" was the meat of rats with no processing, which can be used externally or administered orally to treat injury due to metallic tools and abscess.
