摘　　要：马王堆汉墓简帛《五十二病方》中有一个难解的中药名词叫“逃夏”,《马王堆汉墓简帛集成[伍]》云:“逃夏,药名,待考。”本文运用“古人语急,则二字可缩为一字”的合音法构词原理,揭示出上古汉语单纯词“逃夏”乃是“车前草”的别名,至唐宋时始为合音词造本字“荙”,其“根叶主金疮”。There are still some dubious and questionable terms in the Prescriptions for Fifty-two Diseases which was excavated from the Mawangdui Han Dynasty Tomb,such as Tao Xia.Professor Qiu Xigui explained it as“Tao Xia,medicine name,remained to be further interpret”.Based on the word-building theory in which two syllables might be contracted as one due to Liaison,this article has found out that the term Tao Xia is actually the alias of Cheqiacao(the plantain herb).The term Cheqiancao had become“Lian”because of syllable contraction.As herbal medicine,“Its root and leaves mostly used in wound care”.
