There are two types of rice, japonica rice and glutinous rice. Japonica is hard, and its rice is flat and non-sticky. It is good for the spleen and stomach and facilitates urination. It is the rice commonly used for cooking. The glutinous rice is moist and soft, and its rice is warm and sticky, which can warm the stomach and strengthen the stool. It can be used to steam cakes and make porridge. If rice is used in White Tiger Decoction, it should be chosen as it can harmonize the properties of gold and stone, so that it is suitable for the spleen and stomach, and it can induce heat to descend and be discharged from the urine. If sticky rice is misused, its warm nature is not suitable for Yangming heat syndrome, and its sticky power can retain the heat of external contraction of the stomach and prevent it from dissipating. It blocks the heat from the external contraction of the stomach and prevents it from flowing out, so its use is not beneficial but harmful.

Yu Zengzhi Yibei Zhengren Village, surnamed Zheng, was warm and warm, and Yangming Mansion was solid. He was given White Tiger Decoction and the original prescription did not heal. During the re-examination, the drug residue was examined and it was found that rice was misused and sticky rice was used. When he asked the patient, "I told you yesterday that I would add half a tael of white rice to the decoction, why did I use pulped rice? (In the north, rice is white rice and sticky rice is pulped rice.)" The patient said, "This is a pharmacy." The one who gave it to me. He said that the rice paste is real rice." Yu said, "Where is this nonsense? The misuse of rice can even delay the diagnosis of the disease. Fortunately, I found out about it by examining the medicine residue." Use the original recipe and add rice to fry it, and it will heal immediately after taking it. I also read Changsha Xiao Zhuoru's "Dunyuan Medical Records", which contains the recipe for using sticky rice in White Tiger Decoction, and I suspected that he misused sticky rice. Later, I talked about this with Zhu Jingheng, a disciple from Changsha. Jingheng said that the most juicy rice in his area was called sticky rice. This was not a misuse of sticky rice. However, since it is recorded in the book, this name is not appropriate. For fear of spreading to other places, readers will still refer to sticky rice as sticky rice, which means that sticky rice is much more sticky than rice. Anyone who wants to write a book and want it to be popular all over the world can't get involved with a popular saying.
