《福建续志》记载:石髓产于泉州安溪长潭的石缝之间,具有神奇的接骨功效,治疗内部损伤导致的骨折,用酒研磨三分服用,能够接续断裂的骨头。
不可过量服用,服多了会导致骨骼变大。
产自广东澳门,来自红毛国(指欧洲国家),中国将其用作火石。外皮白如粉末,质地非常松脆,外国人去掉外皮后,将内部的石质部分出售作为火石使用,外皮并不贵重,任由人们搬取。
治疗刀斧等金属利器造成的创伤,将石皮捣碎成粉,其功效胜过千年的锻石(一种矿物药),据说可以粘合皮肤的裂痕。
《福建续志》记载:产于永春州双髻山等地,这种石头类似雄黄但质地疏松,颜色像黄金。《本草纲目·金星石集解》之后,引用了刘河间《宣明方》中点眼药里使用的金精石,李时珍怀疑这即是金星石,大概是因为他未曾见过《福建续志》的缘故。
去除眼部翳膜,明亮视力,用于眼科用药。
雉窠黄 附注
《六研斋笔记》记载:王存思太仆是贵阳人。他说:当地多山,出产雄黄,大的有几百斤重,其中含有浮沙聚集成团,形状像鹅卵石,称为“雄胆”,打破后有清水约一杯,急忙喝下,体内的沉疴宿疾都会消除,寿命可达二百岁。只是由于山民粗野强悍,遇到时不够谨慎,导致雄胆散失无法饮用罢了。有一个人曾饮用了它,至今还活着,身体健壮如同三十多岁的人,自称一百五十多岁。
能杀灭三虫毒,去除顽固疾病,保持容貌,延年益寿。
《簪云楼杂记》记载:雉窠底部有雉黄,黄色的气焰远射,能辟除毒物。乡人在三四月份到处寻找并上市交易。获取雉黄的方法是:先用尿液围绕鸟巢浇洒三圈,然后挖掘,所得大约二三两,价格比其他产地高出一倍。
海外有一种转胎法:在五月五日午时,采集金针花叶,俗称鹅脚花,单叶名为金针花,阴干备用。
孕妇怀孕满一个月,在预产期前四十天,挑选一块重量为一两、质地纯净透亮的雉窠黄,用叶片包裹三四层,再用布包好,缝在孕妇腹部贴身的衣服上。等到四十天后分娩,生男孩不生女孩。
能解除各种毒蛇咬伤,辟除邪祟山精。
按语:雉窠中有黄,就像鹤窠中有某种物质一样,所以能辅助阳气,能使胎儿不出现性别异常(此处原文缺字,意指不致于女或畸形)。《千金方》中有转女成男的方法,使用雄黄养胎,取其地产中完整的阳精之气,那么雉黄不仅仅被用来解毒。我认为雉的精气潜伏已久,人佩戴它,可以解除一切生产时的厄难,对于孕妇尤其适宜。
*Fu Jian Xu Zhi* (Continuation of the Gazetteer of Fujian) records: *Shi Sui* (Stone Marrow, a mineral substance found in rock crevices) is produced in the stone fissures of Changtan, Anxi, Quanzhou. It has miraculous effects in setting bones; treating internal injuries and fractured bones, one should grind three fen (a traditional unit of weight) with wine and take it orally, capable of reconnecting broken bones.
It must not be taken in excess; excessive intake causes bones to enlarge.
Produced in Macau, Guangdong, originating from Hongmao Guo (Red-haired Country, referring to European nations), China uses it as a flint. The outer skin is white like powder and very brittle. Foreigners remove the skin and sell the inner stony material as flint; the skin is not valuable and can be taken by anyone.
To treat wounds caused by metal blades or sharp instruments, crush the stone skin into powder. Its efficacy surpasses that of thousand-year-old *Duan Shi* (Forged Stone, a mineral drug), and it is said to be able to粘合 (glue together) cracks in the skin.
*Fu Jian Xu Zhi* records: Produced in places such as Shuangji Mountain, Yongchun Prefecture. This stone resembles *Xiong Huang* (Realgar) but is loose in texture, with a color like gold. In the commentary on *Jin Xing Shi* (Venus Star Stone) in *Ben Cao Gang Mu* (Compendium of Materia Medica), Liu Hejian’s *Xuan Ming Fang* is cited, mentioning the use of *Jing Jing Shi* (Golden Essence Stone) in eye drops. Li Shizhen suspected this was the same as *Jin Xing Shi*, likely because he had not seen *Fu Jian Xu Zhi*.
It removes ocular nebulae (翳, opacities on the cornea or lens) and brightens vision, used in ophthalmology preparations.
**Zhi Ke Huang** (Pheasant Nest Yellow) - Supplementary Notes
*Liuyan Zhai Biji* (Notes from the Six Studies Studio) records: Wang Cunsai, Grand Master of the Court of Imperial Household, was from Guiyang. He stated: The local area is mountainous and produces *Xiong Huang* (Realgar), some weighing hundreds of jin. Inside, floating sand aggregates into clumps resembling goose eggs, called *Xiong Dan* (Realgar Gall). Breaking it open yields about one cup of clear water. Drinking it immediately eliminates chronic ailments, extending life to two hundred years. However, due to the rough nature of mountain dwellers who handle it carelessly, causing the substance to scatter and become undrinkable, only one person drank it and remains alive today, vigorous as a man of thirty, claiming to be over one hundred fifty years old.
It kills toxins from three types of parasites, cures stubborn diseases, preserves youthfulness, and prolongs life.
*Zanyun Lou Zaji* (Miscellaneous Records from Zanyun Pavilion) records: At the bottom of pheasant nests lies *Zhi Huang* (Pheasant Yellow), whose yellow aura radiates far and repels toxic substances. Villagers search for it extensively in March and April for market trade. The method for obtaining it is: first, pour urine around the nest three times, then dig. The yield is about two to three liang, commanding a price double that of other sources.
There is a fetal sex transformation method from overseas: On the noon hour of the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, collect leaves of the *Jin Zhen Hua* (Daylily), commonly known as *E Jiao Hua* (Goose Foot Flower). Single-leaf varieties are called *Jin Zhen Hua*. Dry them in the shade for later use.
For a woman pregnant for one full month, forty days before the expected delivery date, select a piece of *Zhi Ke Huang* weighing one liang that is pure and transparent. Wrap it in three or four layers of leaves, then wrap it again in cloth and sew it onto the front of the pregnant woman's贴身 (close-fitting) garment against her abdomen. Wait until forty days have passed; upon delivery, she will give birth to a boy, not a girl.
It resolves all snake bites and repels evil spirits and mountain demons.
Commentary: The presence of yellow substance in pheasant nests is akin to certain substances in crane nests, thereby assisting *Yang Qi* (Yang Energy) and preventing gender abnormalities in offspring. *Qian Jin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) contains a method to transform female fetuses into males, using *Xiong Huang* (Realgar) to nourish the fetus, taking advantage of its complete *Yang Jing* (Yang Essence) derived from the earth. Thus, *Zhi Huang* is not solely used for detoxification. I speculate that since the essence of the pheasant has been latent for a long time, wearing it can resolve all difficulties during childbirth, which is particularly suitable for pregnant women.
