【气味】味咸,性微寒,有毒。
【主治】主治五邪引起的惊叫、啼哭、悲伤等症状,将鳞甲烧成灰服用,每次取一方寸匕的量。
【考证】曰:鲮鲤,就是龙鲤、石鲮鱼、穿山甲。外形像鼍(扬子鳄)但较小,背部像鲤鱼但更宽阔,头部像老鼠但较大,胸腹部有毛,口中无齿,嘴尖舌长,四足五爪,尾巴与身体等长。脏腑齐全,唯独胃壁特别厚。居住在土穴中,以蚂蚁为食。中午张开鳞片假死状,散发出的气息最腥,用来引诱蚂蚁进入其中。将装有鳞甲的容器浸入水中,取出后让穿山甲食用。肉质纹理美好,福建人用它来烹饪供餐。《永州记》说:杀死它时不要靠近堤岸,恐怕它的血渗入泥土,会导致堤坝渗漏。《多能鄙事》说:凡是油笼出现渗漏,剥下里面的肉靥(皮膜)投入漏处,会自动到达漏点将其补住。炮制方法,烧成灰,或用酥油炙烤,用醋处理,用便溺处理,或用油煎,或用土炒,或用蛤粉炒,各随方剂要求制作。取用尾部的鳞片,尾部鳞片呈三棱形,药效最强。
【按语】曰:体表覆盖着如铠甲般的鳞片,脊背隆起如同鲤鱼在介壳之道中穿行,因此名叫鲮鲤。像兽类一样穴居,可以穿透山陵,跨越江河,是介壳类中具有神异作用的动物。另有能吞下船只的大鲮鲤,属于鳞虫一类。肺虫称为“介”,“介”是肝之荣华,筋之余气。此物禀受木气而受金气制约,金与木交互作用,因此拥有坚硬的毛发和坚固的鳞片,专门附着于体表。体表是肺的外合部位,因此药入入手太阴肺经和足厥阴肝经;以太阴肺经作为注经的开始,厥阴肝经作为环经的终结。所以它能出阴入阳,穿透经络,进入脏腑,直达病所。闭塞的病证用泻法,渗漏的病证用补法。如利下、如哭泣、如渗漏、如崩中,这是渗漏带来的危害;如痹症、如痈肿、如乳汁不通,这是闭塞带来的危害;如五邪引起的惊叫、啼哭、悲伤,这属于肺气输布化源薄弱,导致金声妄泄,肝气失去制约,导致魂失安宁。在形体藏象上归于渗漏,在五邪方面属于闭塞。用泻法来补益,用补法来泻实,因为有病因而施治,交互运用乘制关系,两者都不妨碍。
(Recorded in the Lower Grade of *Bie Lu*)
[Flavor and Property] Salty, slightly cold, toxic.
[Indications] Primarily treats frightful crying and sorrow caused by the "Five Evils" (pathogenic factors). Burn the scales to ash and ingest, one *cun* square spoonful per dose.
[Examination] It is stated: Lingli (Pangolin) is also known as Longli, Shiling fish, or Chuanshanjia (Pangolin Scales). Its shape resembles a crocodile but is smaller; its back resembles a carp but is broader; its head resembles a rat but is larger. It has hair on its chest and abdomen, no teeth in its mouth, a pointed beak, and a long tongue. It has four feet with five claws each, and its tail is equal in length to its body. All internal organs are complete, with the stomach wall being particularly thick. It dwells in earth burrows and feeds on ants. At noon, it spreads its scales appearing dead-like; the odor emitted is extremely fishy, used to lure ants into them. It places the scales in water, takes them out, and eats the ants attracted. The meat texture is fine, and people in Fujian use it for culinary purposes. *Yongzhou Ji* states: Do not kill it near embankments, lest its blood seep into the soil and cause leakage. *Duoneng Bishi* states: Whenever an oil container leaks, peeling off the inner membrane and throwing it into the leak will cause it to automatically reach the leak point and seal it. Processing methods include burning to ash, roasting with butter, treating with vinegar, treating with urine/feces, frying in oil, stir-frying with earth, or stir-frying with clam powder, according to specific prescriptions. Use the caudal scales; those at the tail have a triangular cross-section and possess the strongest efficacy.
[Commentary] It is stated: The body surface is covered with armor-like scutes, and the spine rises like a carp traversing a shell path, hence named Lingli. It lives in burrows like beasts, can penetrate hills, and cross rivers; it is a creature of the testudineous class possessing spiritual properties. There exists another type, the boat-swallowing Ling, which belongs to the scaled class. Lung parasites are called "Jie" (shell/testudo); "Jie" represents the flourishing aspect of the Liver and the surplus of sinews. This animal embodies Wood but is controlled by Metal; Metal and Wood interact, resulting in stiff hairs and hard scales that attach specifically to the body surface. The body surface is the exterior correspondence of the Lung; therefore, the drug enters the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian and the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian. With the Taiyin Lung Meridian as the beginning of meridian entry and the Jueyin Liver Meridian as the end of the meridian cycle, it can exit Yin and enter Yang, penetrate meridians, enter zang-fu organs, and reach the location of the disease. For obstructions, apply draining methods; for leakage, apply tonifying methods. Conditions such as diarrhea, excessive weeping, leakage, and metrorrhagia represent harms caused by leakage; conditions such as bi-syndrome, carbuncles, and galactostasis represent harms caused by obstruction. Frightful crying and sorrow caused by the Five Evils belong to the deficiency of Lung Qi transformation, leading to erratic release of Lung sound (voice), and lack of Liver control, causing the Hun (Ethereal Soul) to lose stability. In terms of form and storage, this relates to leakage; in terms of the Five Evils, it relates to obstruction. Draining is used to tonify, and tonifying is used to drain. Treatment is applied based on etiology, utilizing interactive controlling relationships, ensuring neither approach causes harm.
