【有毒，草生】
石蚕：主治五种淋证（小便不通或点滴而出）、破除结石淋、堕胎。○肉质能解结气，通利水道，清除热邪。（出自《神农本草经》）
【名称】沙虱。
【产地】《本草图经》记载：生长在江汉地区池塘沼泽的石头上。形状像蚕，是依附生气而生的生物，就像海中的牡蛎、蛤蜊之类，附着在石头上生长，不能移动，都是活物。各地水石之间也有出产。人们采集它作为鱼钩的饵料。现在马湖石门出产最多，那里的人也喜欢食用。福州及信州的山石上有一种草，四季都有青色的苗，有节，其根也叫石蚕。三月采收根部，焙干后主治风气走注（风邪游走不定），散血止痛。它的节段也可以单独使用，捣碎筛成粉末，用温酒送服。
《本草衍义》记载：草根似蚕而得名石蚕的，是另一种植物。如果将水中的石上者称为草，那就错了。经文说“肉解结气”，此处注释更为明确。这种生物到处都有，附生在河中的石头上，结成茧如发钗股般，长约一寸多，用来遮蔽身体，颜色像泥土，蚕在其中。这就是所谓的石蚕。
【时令】

【采收】随时可采。
【色泽】灰褐色。

雀瓮：主治小儿惊痫、寒热往来、结气、蛊毒、鬼疰（一种传染性痨病）。（出自《神农本草经》）
【名称】天浆子、雀儿饭瓮（与“蚝”同音义）、毛虫棘刚子、蚝（七吏切音）、虫（音髯）、（音新）、躁舍、雀痈。
【产地】《本草图经》记载：雀瓮房，生长在汉中的树木枝上，现在各处都有。蚝虫，也称毛虫，喜欢生长在石榴木上，形状像蚕但较短，背上有五色斑刺，螫人有毒。将要老熟时，口吐白汁，凝聚逐渐变坚硬，正如雀卵一样，所以叫这个名字。又名雀痈，“痈”与“瓮”声音相近。其中的子在瓮中化蛹，像蚕在茧中一样，久了变成蛾飞出，在树枝叶片间产卵，如蚕子一样再化为虫。另一种说法是麻雀喜欢吃瓮中的子，所以俗称雀儿饭瓮。旧注认为瓮是虫卵，这是错误的。
【时令】
【生长】随时可生。
【采收】八月采收。
【药用部位】巢窠。
【质地】类似雀卵但较小。
【色泽】紫白色且有斑纹。
【味道】甘味。
【性质】平性。
【气味】气浓于味，属阳中之阴。
【气味】腥味。
【主治】小儿惊痫。
【炮制】蒸制或捣取汁液使用。
【治疗】〔陈藏器云〕治疗小儿撮口病，先剥破小儿口旁使其见血，然后将雀瓮击碎，取汁涂抹。以及给普通小儿饮用，可预防疾病。
【配伍治疗】天浆子若有虫体，配合白僵蚕、干蝎三味药，各三枚，微炒后捣罗为末，用麻黄汤煎煮调服一钱匕，治疗小儿慢惊风，每日三次服用，根据患儿年龄大小调整剂量，效果显著。○配合鼠妇，生捣取汁涂抹小儿口旁，治疗撮口病导致无法吃奶的患者。
[Toxic, Herbaceous Origin]
Shican (Stone Silkworm): Mainly treats five types of strangury (difficulty or pain in urination), breaks up calculous strangury, and induces abortion. ○ The flesh resolves stagnant qi, promotes the flow of water passages, and clears heat. (From *Shennong Bencao Jing*)
[Name]: Shashi (Sand Leech).
[Origin]: *Bencao Tujing* records: Grows on stones in ponds and marshes in the Jianghan region. It resembles a silkworm, is a creature born of vital energy, similar to oysters and clams in the sea that attach to stones, cannot move, and are living organisms. It is also found in waters and among stones everywhere. People collect it as bait for fishhooks. Currently, the most abundant production is at Shimen in Mahu, where locals also enjoy eating it. On the mountains and rocks of Fuzhou and Xinzhou, there is a type of herb with green shoots year-round and distinct nodes; its root is also called Shican. In March, the roots are harvested, baked dry, and mainly treat migratory wind pathogens (wind pathogen wandering不定ly), disperses blood stasis, and relieves pain. Its nodes can also be used alone, crushed, sifted into powder, and taken with warm wine.
*Bencao Yanyi* records: The herbaceous root resembling a silkworm and named Shican is a different species. To call the one growing on stones in water "herb" would be incorrect. The classic text states "the flesh resolves stagnant qi," which clarifies this matter. This organism is found everywhere, attaching to stones in water, forming cocoons like the shaft of a hairpin, about one cun long, to cover its body. Its color is like mud, and the silkworm is inside. This is what is referred to as Shican.
[Seasonality]
[Growth]: Grows at any time.
[Harvest]: Can be harvested at any time.
[Color]: Grayish-brown.
[Taste]: Salty.
[Nature]: Cold.
[Qi and Flavor]: Thin Qi, strong Flavor, Yin.
[Odor]: Fishy.
[Non-toxic, Oviparous Origin]
Queweng (Sparrow's Urn): Mainly treats infantile convulsions and epilepsy, alternating cold and fever, stagnant qi, gu poison, and guizhu (a contagious wasting disease). (From *Shennong Bencao Jing*)
[Name]: Tianjiangzi, Qier Fanweng (Same meaning/sound as Hao), Maochong Jigangzi, Hao (pronounced 'qi li' cut), Chong (pronounced 'ran'), (pronounced 'xin'), Zaoshe, Queyong.
[Origin]: *Bencao Tujing* records: Queweng fang (house), grows on tree branches in Hanzhong, now found everywhere. Hao chong, also called Maochong, prefers to grow on pomegranate trees. It resembles a silkworm but is shorter, has five-colored spotted spines on its back, and is toxic if it stings humans. When nearing maturity, it exudes white fluid from its mouth, which condenses and hardens gradually, just like a sparrow egg, hence the name. It is also called Queyong; "Yong" sounds similar to "Weng." The larvae inside the urn pupate like silkworms in cocoons, eventually emerging as moths that lay eggs on branches and leaves, hatching into worms again. Another theory is that sparrows like to eat the larvae inside the urn, hence the common name Qier Fanweng. Old annotations claiming the urn is the insect's egg are incorrect.
[Seasonality]
[Growth]: Grows at any time.
[Harvest]: Harvest in August.
[Medicinal Part]: Nest/Cocoon.
[Texture]: Similar to sparrow eggs but smaller.
[Color]: Purple-white with spots.
[Taste]: Sweet.
[Nature]: Neutral.
[Qi and Flavor]: Stronger Qi than Flavor, Yang within Yin.
[Odor]: Fishy.
[Indication]: Infantile convulsions and epilepsy.
[Processing]: Steamed or crushed for juice extraction.
[Treatment]: Chen Cangqi stated: For treating infantile lockjaw (cuokou), first peel/break the skin around the infant's mouth until bleeding occurs, then crush the Queweng, extract the juice, and apply it. Also, giving it to normal infants can prevent disease.
[Formula Combination]: Tianjiangzi containing insects, combined with Baijiangcan (White Stiff Silkworm) and Ganxie (Dried Scorpion), three items each, three pieces per item. Lightly stir-fried, pounded, and sieved into powder. Mixed with Ma Huang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) decoction and administered orally (one qianbi dose). Treats infantile slow convulsion. Administered three times daily, adjusted according to the child's age/size. Highly effective. ○ Combined with Shufu (Woodlouse), crushed fresh for juice application to the sides of an infant's mouth with lockjaw who cannot suckle milk.
