摘要
葱是一种历史悠久的药食同源植物,古代农人通过不断实践和改良葱的栽培方式,促进了葱的广泛栽培和利用。通过对葱的食药两用及其文化认知展开历史考察,食用方面,葱具有蔬菜与调味品双重属性,唐代以前食葱蕴含亲民、勤俭、廉洁等文化内涵,明清以降,葱的蔬菜属性减弱,其饮食文化内涵呈现负面倾向;药用方面,葱因发散解表、行气理血、利便解毒等功效,在传统医学体系中占据重要地位。葱又名“和事草”,虽取其善于调和之义,但在进食服药中仍有禁忌,宜遵循守中致和的原则。葱的多元利用及其文化内涵,反映了古代农业、饮食、医药与文化之间的互动,可为相关研究提供更为丰富的视角,推动多学科的交流与探索。
Scallion is a kind of medicine food homologous plant with a long and rich history.Ancient farmers promoted its extensive cultivation and utilization by constantly practicing and refining cultivation methods.The study probes into the dual use of food and medicine and cultural cognition of scallions.In terms of food,scallions possess the dual attributes of being both vegetables and condiments.Prior to the Tang Dynasty,scallions carried cultural connotations such as affi nity with the people,diligence,thrift,and honesty.However,since the Ming and Qing Dynasties,scallions’status as a primary vegetable has weakened,and their dietary cultural connotations have taken on a more negative tone.In the realm of medicine,scallions play a signifi cant role in traditional medical systems due to its eff ects of dispersing pathogens,promoting qi and blood circulation,facilitating bowel movements,and detoxifying.Scallions are also known as the a harmonizing herbal plant,derived from their ability to harmonize fl avors,yet there are still taboos associated with consuming them during meals or taking medications,adhering to the principle of maintaining balance and moderation.The diverse utilization of scallions and their cultural connotations refl ect the interactions among ancient agriculture,diet,medicine,and culture,providing perspectives for related research and promoting the communication and discovery of multiple disciplines.
