【释名】吉吊。
李时珍说：吊，以前没有专门的条目。只有苏颂的《图经本草》记载了吉吊脂，说是龙所生的东西。陈藏器的《本草拾遗》中有一条关于“予脂”的记录，引用《广州记》说：“予，蛇头鳖身，其膏主治水蛭叮咬之伤”等等。现在考证《广州记》及《太平御览》，只说：“吊，蛇头鼍（鳄鱼类）身，形状像鳖。”至于“至轻”、“透气失去”以及没有水蛭叮咬治疗的证据，（原文此处似有脱漏或断句问题，依文意理解为对前说的辨析）。
【集解】
陈藏器说：裴渊的《广州记》记载：“吊生长在岭南地区，蛇头鼍身，既在水中栖息，也在树上栖居。它的膏体非常轻利，用铜器和……（原文此处有缺字，推测为容器或方法），年龄久远的宝物方》中说：吉吊脂出产于福建建州，非常难得。必须用琉璃瓶盛装它，再用樟脑……（防止）透气而流失。孙光宪的《北梦琐言》记载：海上的人说：龙每次产两个卵，一个是吉吊……或者在水边留下分泌物，遇到流动的木筏就粘附在树枝上，形状像蒲团槌。颜色微青黄，又有点像灰色，号称紫梢花，坐浴时常使用它。
李时珍说：按照裴、姚两人的说法相同，那么吊脂就是吉吊脂无疑了。另外陈自明的《妇人良方》说：紫梢花生长在湖泽中，是鱼虾在竹木上产的卵，形状像糖块，去掉木头后使用。这种说法与孙氏的说法不同。近时的房中术，多使用紫梢花，都是从湖泽中获得的，颜色灰白且轻松，恐怕不是真正的吉吊脂。应当以孙氏的说法为准。有人说紫梢花与龙涎香相似，不知道是否正确？
吊脂（又名吊膏）
【气味】有毒。
【主治】风邪引起的肿胀痈毒，瘾疹赤瘙，疥疮痔疮，皮肤顽痹，跌打骨折损伤，内伤瘀血。将膏涂在患处，用手加热按摩，药力即可透入（陈藏器）。治疗耳聋，不论患病多少年。每天点入半个杏仁大小的量，病就好了（苏颂。出自《延龄方》）。
【气味】甘，温，无毒。
【主治】补益阳气，固涩精气，治疗真元虚惫，阳痿遗精，余沥白浊如脂，小便失禁，阴囊下湿痒，女人阴寒冷带下，可入丸散剂及坐浴使用（李时珍。另外《和剂局方》玉霜丸注解说：如果没有紫梢花，可以用木贼代替）。
【附方】新收录二则。
阳事痿弱：紫梢花、生龙骨各二钱，麝香少许，研为末。蜜丸如梧桐子大。每次服用二十丸，烧酒送服。如果想解除药效，喝生姜甘草汤。（《集……（原文截断）

(From *Kaibao Bencao Shiyi* [Supplement to the Materia Medica of the Kaibao Era])
**[Names]** Jidiao (吉吊).
Li Shizhen states: "Diao" previously lacked a dedicated entry. Only Su Song's *Tujing Bencao* [Illustrated Classic of Materia Medica] recorded "Jidiao fat," stating it was produced by dragons. Chen Cangqi's *Bencao Shiyi* [Supplement to the Materia Medica] contains an entry on "Yu fat," citing *Guangzhou Ji* [Records of Guangzhou]: "Yu has a snake's head and a turtle-like body; its fat treats leech bites," and so on. Upon examining *Guangzhou Ji* and *Taiping Yulan* [Imperial Readings of the Taiping Era], they only state: "Diao has a snake's head and a crocodile-like body, resembling a turtle." Regarding claims of being "extremely light" or losing efficacy through air permeability, there is no evidence supporting its use for leech bites.
**[Collection and Explanation]**
Chen Cangqi says: Pei Yuan's *Guangzhou Ji* records: "Diao grows in the Lingnan region, having a snake's head and a crocodile-like body. It inhabits both water and trees. Its fat is extremely light and potent..." The *Lingji Baofang* [Precious Formulas for Extending Life] states: "Jidiao fat originates from Jianzhou in Fujian and is very rare. It must be stored in glass bottles and protected with camphor to prevent loss of potency through air exposure." Sun Guangxian's *Beimeng Suoyan* [Secret Words from Northern Dreams] records: People at sea say that when a dragon lays two eggs, one becomes a Jidiao... Or, secretions left by dragons near water adhere to drifting wood fragments, resembling a rush-mat pestle. The color is slightly yellowish-green or grayish, known as Zishaohua [Purple Tip Flower], and is frequently used in sitz baths.
Li Shizhen states: Since the accounts of Pei and Yao are identical, it is undoubtedly that Diao fat is Jidiao fat. Furthermore, Chen Ziming's *Furen Liangfang* [Good Formulas for Women] states: "Zishaohua grows in lakes and marshes; it is the egg mass of fish and shrimp laid on bamboo and wood, resembling sugar lumps. The wood is removed, and the rest is used." This account differs from Sun's. In recent times, various sexual health practices often use Zishaohua obtained from lakes, which is grayish-white and light; this is likely not the genuine article. The account by Sun should be considered correct. Some claim that Zishaohua is similar to Dragon Saliva (Longxian), but it is uncertain if this is true.
**Diao Fat** (Also known as Diao Gao)
**[Properties and Flavor]** Toxic.
**[Indications]** Wind-induced swelling, carbuncles, and toxins; urticaria with redness and itching; scabies, hemorrhoids; stubborn skin numbness; traumatic fractures and injuries; internal trauma with blood stasis. Apply the fat to the affected area and massage with heated hands until the medicinal power penetrates (Chen Cangqi). Treats deafness, regardless of duration. Instill an amount equivalent to half an almond kernel daily into the ear, and the condition will resolve (Su Song. From *Yanling Fang*).
**Zishaohua**
**[Properties and Flavor]** Sweet, warm, non-toxic.
**[Indications]** Tonifies yang, secures essence, treats deficiency exhaustion of primordial qi, impotence, spermatorrhea, residual discharge resembling white turbidity like fat, urinary incontinence, dampness and itching of the scrotum, cold leukorrhea in women. Used in pills, powders, and sitz baths (Li Shizhen. Additionally, the annotation for *Yushuang Wan* in *Heji Ju Fang* [Formulary of the Bureau of Medical Relief] states: If Zishaohua is unavailable, substitute with Equisetum hyemale [Muye]).
**[Attached Prescriptions]** Two new prescriptions.
**Impotence:** Zishaohua and raw Longgu (Dragon Bone) each 2 qian, plus a small amount of Shexiang (Musk). Grind into powder. Make pills the size of wutong seeds. Take 20 pills per dose with shaojiu (liquor). To reverse the effect, drink Shengjiang Gancao Tang [Fresh Ginger and Licorice Decoction]. (*Ji...* [Text cuts off])
It will heal immediately. (*Zongwei Lun*)
