肉味咸,性热,无毒。
【发明】野狼脂用于按摩治疗风邪为首选,但《本草》未收录,也是一件憾事。野狼肉能补益五脏,厚润肠胃,填补骨髓,有冷积之症的人适宜食用。野狼性情追逐风邪且逆行,所以它的粪便燃烧时烟雾能逆风而上。将野狼粪烧成灰,用水送服可治疗骨鲠(鱼刺卡喉),因为其药性专主逆行而无阻滞。
兔肉味辛,性平,无毒。孕妇忌食兔肉,若与干姜同食会引发霍乱。
【发明】兔子没有脾脏,所以善于奔跑。二月对应地支中的卯位,属木,木克戊土(脾属土),所以说兔子无脾。兔肉性寒,能治疗胃热引起的呕吐逆气、肠道出血及便血。兔脑是精髓的精华,性质滑利易致流产,所以兔脑丸是催生的首选药物。但必须要在腊月捕捉活兔使用才有效。兔肝能明目,眼睛归属于肝,禀受之气独盛,且获得至阴的精气,可以救治视力昏暗的疾病。兔子的粪便称为“明月砂”,又名“望月沙”,治疗眼中浮翳(角膜云翳)和痘疮引发的眼疾。只要瞳孔未受损,将其煅烧存性,每日服用,翳膜自然会消退。又有方子,单用兔屎研末,配生鸡肝捣烂制成丸药,空腹时用谷精草汤送服。翳膜厚重者加入鸡内金效果更佳;兼治虚劳痨瘵、五种疳积、痔疮,具有杀虫、解毒的功效。《黄帝内经》说,兔肉与獭肝同食,会形成遁尸(一种传染病)。
狐肉味甘,性平,有小毒。
【发明】狐狸属于阴类动物,所以其阴茎主治女子不孕、阴部瘙痒、小儿阴囊肿胀,因为狐狸的生殖器善于缩入腹中。
獭肉味甘咸,性平,有小毒。
【发明】獭是水兽。水性灵动明智,所以獭的性情也多智巧诡诈。獭专门嗜食鱼类,鱼的生气都聚集在肝脏,因此獭肝专门主治传尸痨瘵(肺结核等慢性消耗性疾病)。其杀虫的特性,与獭捕鱼的本领没有什么不同。苏颂说,各种家畜的肝脏都有固定的叶数,只有獭的肝脏一个月长一片叶子,十二片叶子之间会有退化的叶子,当北斗斗柄指向寅位的月份(正月),正值其气衰退之时,反而会被各种鱼类侵蚀,《月令》所说的“獭祭鱼”就是这个意思。因为治疗痨瘵有效,所以张仲景在治疗冷劳时使用獭肝丸。崔氏治疗蛊疰也使用獭肝丸。孟诜说,凡患注病这一类疾病的人,取一只獭肝用火烤炙,用水送服一方寸匕的药量,每日服用两次。葛洪说,尸疰是五疰之一,患病使人寒热往来,神情沉默,不知痛苦所在,处处不适,经年累月拖延致死,死后还会传染给他人,甚至灭门。如果察觉有此症状,只需用一只獭肝阴干研末,用水送服一方寸匕,每日三次,以痊愈为度。如果没有獭肝,獭爪也可以应用。小儿鬼疰以及各种鱼骨鲠,都将獭骨或獭爪烧成灰,用酒送服。獭肝的作用大概不出于此范围。
The meat is salty, hot in nature, and non-toxic.
[Invention] Wild wolf fat is the first choice for massage to treat wind pathogens, yet it is not recorded in the *Bencao* (Materia Medica), which is a regret. Wild wolf meat tonifies the five Zang organs, thickens the intestines and stomach, and fills the bone marrow; it is suitable for people with cold accumulation. The nature of wild wolves chases wind and moves in reverse; thus, when their feces are burned, the smoke rises against the wind. Burning the feces into ash and taking it with water treats fish bones stuck in the throat (Gu Geng), because its medicinal property is specifically reverse-moving without obstruction.
Rabbit meat is acrid, neutral in nature, and non-toxic. Pregnant women should avoid eating rabbit meat; consuming it with dried ginger causes Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome).
[Invention] Rabbits lack a spleen, hence they run swiftly. In the second month, corresponding to the Mao position in Earthly Branches, Wood overcomes Wu Earth (the Spleen belongs to Earth); therefore, it is said that rabbits have no spleen. Rabbit meat is cold in nature and can treat vomiting and counterflow qi due to Stomach heat, as well as intestinal redness and bleeding. The brain is the essence of marrow; its nature is slippery and promotes abortion, so Rabbit Brain Pills are the primary medicine for inducing labor. However, live rabbits must be caught in the twelfth lunar month for efficacy. Rabbit liver brightens the eyes; since the eyes belong to the Liver, it possesses unique Qi and receives the essence of extreme Yin, capable of treating dim vision. The feces are called "Mingyue Sha" or "Wangyue Sha," treating floating nebulae in the eyes (corneal opacities) and eye diseases caused by smallpox. As long as the pupil is undamaged, calcining the feces until carbonized and taking it daily will cause the nebulae to recede. Another prescription uses rabbit feces alone powdered, mixed with raw chicken liver pounded into pills, taken on an empty stomach with Gujing Cao (Eclipta Prostrata) decoction. For dense nebulae, adding Ji Neijin (Chicken Gizzard Lining) is especially effective; it also treats Laozai (consumptive disease), the five types of Ganji (childhood malnutrition syndromes), hemorrhoids, kills parasites, and detoxifies. The *Huangdi* states: consuming rabbit meat with otter liver forms Dunshi (a type of infectious corpse-transmission disease).
Fox meat is sweet, neutral in nature, and slightly toxic.
[Invention] Foxes belong to the Yin category; thus, their penis treats female infertility, pruritus vulvae, and pediatric scrotal swelling, because the fox's genitalia has the ability to retract into the abdomen.
Otter meat is sweet and salty, neutral in nature, and slightly toxic.
[Invention] Otters are aquatic animals. Water is agile and intelligent, so the otter's nature is also cunning and wise. Otters specialize in devouring fish; the vital energy of fish gathers in the liver; therefore, otter liver specializes in treating Chuanshi Laozhai (chronic consumptive diseases like tuberculosis). Its insect-killing property is no different from the otter's fishing skill. Su Song stated that the livers of various livestock have a fixed number of lobes, but the otter's liver grows one lobe per month, with degenerated lobes appearing between the twelfth lobe. When the Big Dipper points to the Yin position (first lunar month), it coincides with the time of Qi decline, making it vulnerable to erosion by various fish; this is what the *Yueling* refers to as "Otters Sacrificing Fish." Because it is effective in treating Zhai, Zhang Zhongjing used Otter Liver Pills for Cold Lao. Cui Shi also used Otter Liver Pills for Gu Zhu. Meng Shen said that for patients suffering from Zhu diseases, one otter liver roasted over fire, taken with water in a dose of one Fangcunbi twice daily, is effective. Ge Hong stated that Shizhu is one of the five Zhu diseases; it causes alternating chills and fever, silence and depression, unknown sources of pain, and general discomfort, dragging on for months and years until death, after which it transmits to others, potentially wiping out a family. If such symptoms are detected, one otter liver dried in the shade and powdered, taken with water in a dose of one Fangcunbi three times daily until recovery, is recommended. If otter liver is unavailable, otter claws can also be used. For pediatric Gui Zhu and various fish bones stuck in the throat, burning them to ash and taking with wine is effective. The use of otter liver generally does not exceed these applications.
