论曰寸白虫，乃九虫之一种，状似绢边葫芦子，因脏气虚，风寒湿冷，伏于肠胃，又好
食生脍干肉等，所以变化滋多，难于蠲治，说者谓食牛肉，饮白酒所致，特一端尔，亦未必
皆缘此。

论曰：寸白虫，是九虫中的一种，形状像绢边的葫芦子。因为脏腑之气虚弱，风寒湿冷之邪潜伏在肠胃中，加之又喜欢吃生肉干等食物，所以这种虫变化滋生很多，难以彻底治愈。有人说吃牛肉、喝白酒导致此病，这只是其中一种情况，也未必都是因为这样。

Discussion: Cunbai Chong (Taenia solium, pork tapeworm) is one of the Nine Worms. Its shape resembles a gourd seed with a silk edge. It arises because of deficiency in Zang-Fu Qi, with Cold, Wind, and Dampness lurking in the intestines and stomach. Additionally, a preference for eating raw meat and dried meat leads to its proliferation and mutation, making it difficult to eradicate. Some say it is caused by eating beef and drinking white wine; this is only one aspect, and not all cases are due to this.
