摘要
蓖麻经丝绸之路从印度传入中国。蓖麻最早传入的文献记载,前人多依《新修本草》,认为始于唐代,也有学者推论为南北朝时期的《玉篇》。文章通过爬梳史料发现,蓖麻首见于西晋吕静的《韵集》;由来华僧人带入中国,最早可能在南方栽培;其传入和传播过程都和佛教在中国的发展密切相关;通过丝绸之路,佛经和外来医方的传入有力地推动了蓖麻在中国的传播。
Ricinus communis was introduced into China from India via the Silk Road. With regard to its earliest record, predecessors were on the basis of Xin xiu ben cao, while some scholars inferenced it from Yupian in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. By reviewing the former research achievements and carding historical materials, we found that its first appearance has been in Yunji which wrote by Lyu Jing in the Western Jin Dynasty. The Buddhist monks from abroad brought it into China through the Silk Road;probably it was cultivated in southern part of China during the initial stages. The introduction of Ricinus was closely related to the spread of Buddhism in ancient China. Through the Silk Road, the introduction of Buddhist scriptures and foreign prescription has greatly promoted the spread of ricinus in China.
