【气味】味甘、咸,性平,无毒。
【主治】主要补益五脏,使人身体丰满、面色白净润泽,治疗眼睛红肿疼痛、流泪过多。能解除食用独肝牛肉引起的中毒,配合浓豆豉汁服用,效果神奇。
【核】曰:乳,是化育诚信的象征,所以字形从“孚”从“化”,简化写作“七”(注:此处原文可能有误或为特定隐语,通常乳字不从七,但依原文翻译)。医家隐去其名称,称之为仙人酒、白朱砂。
乳汁是由阴血所化生,产生于脾胃,受冲脉和任脉统摄;未怀孕时向下成为月经,怀孕后留存以滋养胎儿;分娩后向上成为乳汁。
凡是入药使用的,都取初生男婴、无病妇女的乳汁,以颜色白、质地稠、无臭味者为佳。孕妇的乳汁,称为忌奶,小儿饮用后,有的引起呕吐腹泻,有的形成疳积羸瘦,毒性最大。李时珍说:人乳没有固定的性质,如果其人平和,饮食有节制,其乳汁必然纯正;如果其人急躁暴戾,饮食无节制,其乳汁必然偏热。凡是服用都要热饮,晒干曝露成粉末,入药尤其好。
【 】曰:阳明经别出的津液称为乳,是水谷精微中的精华部分。脏腑衰败的人,服用它能得以安定;全身枯槁憔悴的人,服用它能恢复润泽。

【核】曰:虎,是百兽之长,山兽的君主。陈魏地区叫它李父;江淮、南楚地区叫它李耳,或者叫它(音虺),或者叫它(音乌)(音徒);函谷关以东以西叫它伯都。《汉书》说它是(某种称呼)。浅毛的叫(音潺),白色的叫(音寒),黑色的叫(音叔),黄黑相间的叫(音磊),苍白的叫貊,像虎但有五只爪子的叫(音区),像虎但不是真虎的叫彪,像虎但有角的叫(音斯)。形状像猫,体型大如牛,黄色底黑色斑纹,牙齿如锯,爪子如钩,脖子短鼻子隆起,胡须健壮锐利,舌头大而粗糙,吼声如雷,风随之而生,百兽震恐。七月开始咆哮,咆哮则风生,风生则万物声响大作;趴下则风止,风止则万物声响皆息,所以停止音乐演奏要用虎(指虎皮鼓或相关礼仪)。虎属风木,体属金。木受金制约,所以风从虎出,虎啸风生,这是自然的道理。现在老虎所在的地方,麂鹿一定会鸣叫来报告。人死于虎口会变成伥鬼,引导老虎行动。它出现有定时,就像龙出现有期限一样。阴物在冬天出现,阳虫在夏天出来。出来顺应其气候,气候变动影响同类,参伐星在冬天出现,心尾宿在夏天出现,参伐就是虎星,心尾就是龙象。奋起时冲破阻碍,行走时裂开大地。现在人们画地观察奇偶来占卜的,叫做虎卜。性情极其凶猛撕裂,即使被驱逐,还会徘徊回顾。受伤重的,就咆哮着声音离开,听声音的多少,来知道离去的远近。通常鸣叫一声算一里,靠着岩石坐着,倚着树木死去,最终不会僵硬仆倒。它搏击猎物不超过三次跳跃,不中就会放弃,食物碰到耳朵就停止,因为触犯它的名字,名字叫耳的缘故。所以曾经伤人的老虎,耳朵上总有缺口像被锯过一样。夜间用一只眼睛视物会发光,另一只看东西,宛然像灯火,猎人守候并射击它,目光堕落在地上,得到它像白石,有人说那就是它的魂魄。仲冬开始交配,交配后月亮出现晕圈。七月产仔,三九二十七数,它的主星、星主是虎,所以(某字)为虎形,二十七龃龉也。三九阳气成,阳主七,所以头尾长七尺。花纹斑斓的,是阴阳混杂。幼虎出生三天,就有吃牛的气息,不能搏杀捕食的幼虎就杀死它,为了堕废武艺。一生只哺乳一次,一次必双胎;第三胎生豹子。豹比虎小,尾巴红色带黄,花纹像铜钱,彼此相邻中间空。体质红花纹黑叫赤豹;体质白花纹黑叫白豹。把它的鼻子挂在门上,让人生子,所以古代胎教,是想让孕妇看到虎豹勇猛击打的东西罢了。吃狗肉会醉,闻到羊角烟就会逃跑,虎是害人害兽的猛兽,(某种动物)能制服老鼠,智慧没有大小之分。狮、(某种动物)、犹耳、黄腰、渠搜,能吃掉老虎,势力没有强弱之分。古代有虎变人,人变虎,海里有鲨鱼也能变虎,自有这样的道理。修整前掌腕中的骨头,形状圆扁像棋子的那种力量最强,因为虎力在掌故。凡是虎身多种物品,都用雄虎的好。被药箭毒死的不能用,其毒素浸渍在骨血之间,能伤害人。并捶碎涂酥油,或用酒或用醋,各自随方法。柳炭火烤至黄脆,研成飞尘状,否则粘在肠间形成痞积。
先人说:虎气聚集肃杀,是天地间阴厉之物。吼叫则撼动物体,行动则风生,如同随身宫殿。毒死的不可以使用,固然要随法制,还需要用狗肉包裹一夜,效法雷公炮制法,投其所好以回其灵性。又说:虎所在之处,风必定跟随它,所以主治风木不及,风大太过,都适宜使用。
【 】曰:一阳刚长而开始交合,纯阴穷尽而开始生长,以此言武。武,就是止戈。没有人敢侵犯而戈停止了。客人问:主治各种疾病,无论是形体还是脏腑,无论是腑还是经络,无论是内因还是外因,转而导致变化产生不可测度的后果,却都归属于肝胆。西方金兽,反而主管东方甲胆乙肝,为什么呢?回答说:这就是所谓的制则化。没有制约就会亢盛,亢盛就会有害。看它奋起冲破,画地占卜食物,爪子裂开奇偶,不仅专司决断,而且专司谋虑了。所以肝生风,它呼啸风生;肝开窍于目,它夜间眼光明亮;肝藏筋,它的筋独异于众类,死后依然屹立不倒。肝志为怒,所以养护它的人,不敢把活着的、完整的生物给它,因为那是杀害决断引发的愤怒。大概不处于中和状态,势头极尽就会反转,这是必然的道理。这主治肝胆失处中和,导致势头极尽反转的,仍使它们决断出自中正,谋虑出自将军。客人说:没有制约就会亢盛,恭敬地听从教诲了。然而它的形象威严居住在艮位,为什么呢?回答说:天以南为阳,北为阴;地以北为阳,南为阴,是对待的道理。所以它的垣在寅,宫在尾,如果是艮卦则是象征它的停止。以此来表现神武而不杀戮。这就叫谋虑,这就叫决断。客人进一步问:孕育于子时而剖生于巳时,确实如此。但记载和野史传说,多属于化生的,为什么呢?回答说:这个意义幽深玄妙,完备在佛典中,情想秘密转移,总归业报。凡是有生命的,事情不同道理相同,所以说唯心所现,确实不可以不慎发念头。
(Bie Lu, Middle Grade)
[Flavor and Nature] Sweet, salty, neutral in nature, non-toxic.
[Indications] Primarily tonifies the five Zang organs, makes the body plump and complexion fair and lustrous, treats redness and pain of the eyes with excessive tearing. Resolves toxicity from consuming beef liver alone; when taken with concentrated Soya Bean Decoction (Douchi), it is miraculously effective.
[Analysis] Says: Milk represents the trust of transformation, hence the character contains "Fu" (trust/hatch) and "Hua" (transform), abbreviated as "Qi". Physicians hide its name, calling it Immortal Wine or White Cinnabar.
It is formed from Yin Blood, generated by the Spleen and Stomach, regulated by the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) and Ren Mai (Conception Vessel); before pregnancy, it flows downward as menstrual blood; during pregnancy, it stays to nourish the fetus; after childbirth, it flows upward as breast milk.
For medicinal use, one should take milk from a healthy woman who has given birth to her first son, preferably white in color, thick in consistency, and odorless. Milk from pregnant women is called "Taboo Milk"; if infants drink it, it may cause vomiting and diarrhea or lead to malnutrition syndromes (Gan syndrome), possessing significant toxicity. Li Shizhen said: Human milk has no fixed nature. If the person is peaceful and eats/drinks regularly, the milk will be pure; if the person is irritable and irregular in diet, the milk will be hot. When ingested, it must be drunk warm; dried into powder by sun exposure, it is especially good for medicine.
[Commentary] Says: The separate fluid of the Yangming channel is called milk, which is the essence of water and grain. For those whose Zang-Fu organs are collapsing, taking it stabilizes them; for those whose bones and flesh are withered, taking it restores luster.
(Bie Lu, Middle Grade)
The Gallbladder is the official of uprightness, where decision-making arises; the Liver is the general's official, where strategy and deliberation emerge.
[Flavor and Nature] Pungent, slightly hot in nature, non-toxic.
[Indications] Primarily expels evil Qi, kills ghostly transmission toxins, stops palpitations and fright, treats malignant sores and scrofula (Shu Li); the skull bone is particularly effective.
[Analysis] Says: The Tiger is the chief of all beasts, the lord of mountain animals. In Chen and Wei regions, it is called Li Fu; in Jianghuai and Southern Chu, it is called Li Er, or sometimes referred to as [Character] (pronounced Hui), or [Character] (pronounced Wu) [Character] (pronoted Tu); east and west of the pass, it is called Bo Du. The Book of Han says it is [Character]. Light-haired ones are called [Character] (pronounced Chan), white ones [Character] (pronounced Han), black ones [Character] (pronounced Shu), yellow-black ones [Character] (pronounced Lei), pale ones Mo, tiger-like with five claws Qu (pronounced Ou), tiger-like but not true tigers Biao (pronounced Biao), and tiger-like with horns Si (pronounced Si). Shape like a cat, size like an ox, yellow body with black stripes, saw-like teeth, hook-like claws, short neck, protruding nose, strong and sharp whiskers, large and rough tongue, roaring like thunder, generating wind, terrifying all beasts. It begins to roar in the seventh month; roaring generates wind, wind generates sounds in all things; lying down stops the wind, stopping the wind silences all things, hence music stops using the tiger. It belongs to Wind-Wood, yet its body is Metal. Wood is controlled by Metal, hence wind follows the tiger, tiger's roar generates wind, this is the natural principle. Wherever tigers are, deer will cry to warn. Humans killed by tigers become Chang ghosts, guiding the tiger. Its appearance is timed, just as dragons appear at specific periods. Yin entities appear in winter, Yang insects emerge in summer. Emergence corresponds to Qi, Qi moves its kind; Can Fa star appears in winter, Xin-Wei constellations appear in summer; Can Fa is the Tiger Star, Xin-Wei is the Dragon image. When active, it breaks through; when walking, it cracks the earth. People now draw lines on the ground to observe odd/even for divination, called Tiger Divination. Its nature is extremely fierce and tearing; even when driven away, it lingers and looks back. Severely injured ones roar and leave; listening to the number of roars indicates distance. Generally, one roar equals one Li; sitting against rocks, leaning on trees to die, they never stiffen and fall. Their attack on prey does not exceed three leaps; if they miss, they give up. Food stops upon touching the ears, because it touches their name, named "Ear". Thus, tigers that have previously injured people often have notched ears like saw marks. At night, one eye emits light while the other observes objects, resembling a lamp; hunters wait and shoot, the gaze falls to the ground, obtained like white stone, some say it is its soul. Mid-winter marks the start of mating, resulting in lunar halos. They give birth in the seventh month; 3x9=27 numbers, their ruling star is the Tiger, hence [Character] takes tiger form, representing 27 discrepancies. 3x9 Yang Qi completes, Yang governs 7, hence head and tail measure seven Chi. Variegated patterns indicate mixed Yin and Yang. Three days after birth, cubs have the breath of eating cattle; those unable to hunt are killed to prevent martial decline. One litter per lifetime, always twins; the third litter produces leopards. Leopards are smaller than tigers, tails red and yellow, spots like coins, arranged side-by-side with hollow centers. Red body with black spots is Red Leopard; white body with black spots is White Leopard. Hanging its nose at the door induces childbirth, hence ancient prenatal education wanted mothers to see things of tiger/leopard bravery. Eating dog meat intoxicates it; smelling sheep horn smoke makes it flee. Tigers harm humans and beasts, but [Animal] controls rats; wisdom has no size. Lions, [Animal], You Er, Yellow Waist, Qu Sou can eat tigers; power has no strength difference. Ancient times had tigers turning into humans, humans into tigers; seas have sharks turning into tigers; such principles exist. The bone in the front paw wrist, round and flat like a chess piece, has the strongest power, as tiger strength lies in the palm. Various tiger parts are best sourced from male tigers. Those killed by poisoned arrows cannot be used; poison infiltrates bone and blood, harming humans. Crush them, apply butter, or use wine/vinegar according to method. Roast over willow charcoal until yellow and brittle, grind to flying dust; otherwise, it sticks in intestines causing stagnation masses.
My ancestor said: Tiger Qi gathers solemnity and killing energy, it is a Yin harsh entity in heaven and earth. Roaring shakes objects, movement generates wind, like a mobile palace. Poison-killed ones cannot be used; although processed according to methods, they must be wrapped in dog meat for one night, following Lei Gong's processing method, offering what they love to restore their spirit. Also said: Wherever the tiger is, wind follows, thus suitable for treating insufficient Wind-Wood or excessive Wind.
[Commentary] Says: When one Yang grows and begins to interact, pure Yin exhausts and begins to generate, speaking of Martial Arts. Wu means stopping weapons. No one dares to engage, and weapons stop. Guest asks: Treating various diseases, whether form or organ, fu or meridian, internal or external causes, leading to unpredictable changes, yet all attributed to Liver and Gallbladder. Western Metal beast, yet governing Eastern Jia Gallbladder and Yi Liver? Why? Answer: This is called "Control leads to Transformation." Without control, there is hyperactivity; hyperactivity leads to harm. Look at its breaking through, divining food, cracking odd/even with claws; it not only decides but also strategizes. Hence Liver generates Wind, its roar brings wind; Liver opens to eyes, its eyes glow at night; Liver stores Sinews, its sinews differ from others, standing erect even after death. Liver emotion is Anger, so those nurturing it dare not give living or whole creatures, due to the anger of killing and deciding. Generally, without balance, extreme momentum reverses, a necessary law. This treats Liver/Gallbladder imbalance causing reversal, making decision come from uprightness and strategy from the general. Guest says: I hear that lack of control leads to hyperactivity. But why is its shape dignified and located in Gen? Answer: Heaven South is Yang, North is Yin; Earth North is Yang, South is Yin, this is the principle of opposition. Hence its wall is Yin, palace is Wei; Gen symbolizes stopping. To show divine martial prowess without killing. This is strategy, this is decision. Guest advances: Gestating in Zi hour, born in Si hour, indeed. But records and unofficial histories mention metamorphosis, why? Answer: This meaning is profound, detailed in Buddhist texts, thoughts shift secretly, returning to karma. All living things, though different events, share the same principle, saying "manifested by mind," truly one must be cautious with intentions.
