（音阔俞。《本经》中品）
【释名】陵蠡（音螺。《本经》）、附蜗
蜒蚰螺（详下文）。
【集解】《别录》曰∶蛞蝓生太山池泽及阴地沙石垣下。八月取之。
弘景曰∶蛞蝓无壳，不应有蜗名。附蜗，即蜗牛也。岂以其头形似蜗牛，故亦名蜗欤
保升曰∶蛞蝓即蜗牛也，而《别录》复有蜗牛一条。虽数字不同，而主疗无别，是后人
误出。正如草部有鸡肠，而复出繁缕也。按∶《尔雅》云∶ 蠃， 蝓。郭注云∶蜗牛也。
《玉篇》亦云∶ 蝓，
行则角出，惊之则缩，首尾俱能藏入壳中。苏恭以蛞蝓为无壳蜗牛，非矣。今《本经》一名
陵蠡，《别录》又有土蜗之名，蜗蠡皆螺壳之属，不应无壳也。今下湿处有一种虫，大于蜗
牛，无壳而有角者，云是蜗牛之老者也。
宗 曰∶蛞蝓、蜗牛，二物也。蛞蝓二角，身肉止一段。蜗牛四角，背上别有肉，以负
壳行。若为一物，《经》中焉得分为二条？《蜀本》又谓蛞蝓为蜗牛之老者，甚无谓也。
时珍曰∶按∶《尔雅》无蛞蝓，止云∶ 蠃， 蝓。
止云蛞蝓，一名附蜗。据此，则 蝓是 蠃，蛞蝓是附蜗。盖一类二种，如蛤
主治功用相似，而皆制蜈、蝎。名谓称呼相通，而俱曰蜗与蜒蚰螺也。或以为一物，或以为
二物者，皆失深考。惟许慎《说文》云∶ 蠃背负壳者曰蜗牛，无壳者曰蛞蝓。一言决矣。
【正误】
弘景曰∶蛞蝓入三十六禽限，又是四种角虫之类，营室星之精。方家无复用者。
恭曰∶陶说误矣。三十六禽亥上有壁水 ，乃豪猪，毛如 簪。《山海经》云∶ ，彘
身人面，
【气味】咸，寒，无毒。
【主治】贼风 僻，轶筋及脱肛，惊痫挛缩（《本经》。 ，苦乖切，口戾也。轶音跌，
车转也）。蜈蚣、蝎毒（《衍义》。
【发明】
宗 曰∶蜈蚣畏蛞蝓，不敢过所行之路，触其身即死，故人取以治蜈蚣毒。
时珍曰∶按∶蔡绦铁《围山丛谈》云∶峤南地多蜈蚣，大者二、三尺，螫人觅死不得
惟见托胎虫则局促不行。虫乃登其首，陷其脑而死。故人以此虫生捣涂蜈蚣
也。又《大全良方》云∶痔热肿痛者，用大蛞蝓一个研泥，入龙脑一字，燕脂坯子半钱，同
敷之。先以石
蜗牛同功。
【附方】新一。
脚胫烂疮∶臭秽不可近。用蜒蚰十条，瓦焙研末，油调敷之，立效。（《救急方》）
（读音同“阔俞”。《神农本草经》列为中品）
【释名】陵蠡（读音同“螺”，出自《神农本草经》）、附蜗。
蜒蚰螺（详见下文）。
【集解】《名医别录》记载：蛞蝓生长在泰山地区的池沼以及阴湿处的沙石墙根下。八月采集。
陶弘景说：蛞蝓没有壳，不应该有“蜗”这个名字。所谓“附蜗”，就是蜗牛。难道是因为它的头部形状像蜗牛，所以也叫做“蜗”吗？
苏保升说：蛞蝓就是蜗牛，但《名医别录》中又单独列出一条关于蜗牛的内容。虽然名称略有不同，但主治功效没有区别，这是后人错误地将其分开。这就像草部中有鸡肠草，却又重复列出繁缕一样。按：《尔雅》说：“ 蠃， 蝓。”郭璞注解说：这就是蜗牛。《玉篇》也说：“ 蝓，爬行时触角伸出，受惊缩回，头尾都能藏入壳中。”苏恭认为蛞蝓是无壳的蜗牛，这是错误的。现在《神农本草经》称蛞蝓一名为陵蠡，《名医别录》又有土蜗的名称，“蜗”和“蠡”都属于螺壳类动物，不应该没有壳。现在在潮湿的地方有一种虫，比蜗牛大，没有壳但有角，人们说是老年的蜗牛。
陈承说：蛞蝓和蜗牛是两种不同的生物。蛞蝓有两对触角，身体只有一段肉。蜗牛有四对触角，背上另外有一块肉用来背负着壳行走。如果它们是同一种东西，《神农本草经》中怎么会分为两条呢？《蜀本》又说蛞蝓是老年的蜗牛，这非常没有道理。
李时珍说：按：《尔雅》中没有“蛞蝓”这个词，只说：“ 蠃， 蝓。”只提到蛞蝓，又名附蜗。据此推断，“ 蝓”是“ 蠃”（即蜗牛），而“蛞蝓”是“附蜗”。大概是一类中的两个品种，就像蛤蜊的主治功效相似，且都能克制蜈蚣、蝎子的毒性。名称称呼相通，都称为蜗与蜒蚰螺。有人认为是一种东西，有人认为是两种东西，都是因为没有深入考证。只有许慎的《说文解字》说：“背负壳的是蜗牛，没有壳的是蛞蝓。”一句话就解决了争议。
【正误】
陶弘景说：蛞蝓被列入三十六禽之中，又是四种有角虫类之一，是营室星的精气。方术之士不再使用它。
苏恭说：陶弘景的说法是错误的。三十六禽中亥位上是壁水 ，那是豪猪，毛如箭簪。《山海经》说： ，猪身人面，
【气味】味咸，性寒，无毒。
【主治】治疗风邪导致的口眼歪斜，筋脉错乱及脱肛，惊痫抽搐（出自《神农本草经》。 ，音苦乖切，指口角歪斜。轶音跌，指车轮转动引申为筋脉扭转）。蜈蚣、蝎子中毒（出自《证类本草·衍义》。
【发明】
陈承说：蜈蚣害怕蛞蝓，不敢经过蛞蝓走过的路，触碰到蛞蝓的身体就会死亡，所以人们取蛞蝓来治疗蜈蚣毒。
李时珍说：按：蔡绦在《铁围山丛谈》中说：岭南地区多蜈蚣，大的有二三尺长，被咬了找不到死法，只见遇到胎虫（蛞蝓）它就局促不前。这种虫便爬上蜈蚣的头，钻入其脑部使其死亡。所以人们用这种虫生捣后涂抹治疗蜈蚣咬伤。又《大全良方》说：痔疮热肿痛者，用一个大的蛞蝓研成泥状，加入龙脑一分，胭脂坯子半钱，一起敷上。先用石头……（原文此处似有缺漏或排版错误，结合上下文意译）蜗牛功效相同。
【附方】新增一方。
脚胫烂疮：恶臭秽浊不可靠近。用十只蜒蚰螺，在瓦片上焙干研末，用油调和敷患处，立即见效。（出自《救急方》）
(Kuò Yú, pronounced similarly to "Kuo Yu". Listed as Middle Grade in *Shennong Bencao Jing* [Divine Farmer's Materia Medica])
[Names] Ling Li (pronounced similarly to "Luo", from *Shennong Bencao Jing*), Fu Wo.
Yan You Luo (see below for details).
[Collection and Explanation] *Bielu* [Supplementary Records of Famous Physicians] states: Kuoyu [Slugs] grow in the ponds and marshes of Mount Tai, as well as under sandy stones and walls in shady places. Collect them in the eighth month.
Hongjing [Tao Hongjing] said: Kuoyu has no shell; it should not have the name "Wo" [Snail]. The so-called "Fu Wo" is indeed the snail. Could it be named "Wo" because its head shape resembles that of a snail?
Baosheng [Su Baosheng] said: Kuoyu is the snail, yet *Bielu* lists a separate entry for snails. Although the names differ slightly, their therapeutic indications are identical; this separation by later authors was an error. It is just like having both Jichang [Polygonum aviculare] and Fanlu [Stellaria media] in the herbal section. According to *Erya*: "Luo, Yu." Guo Pu's commentary states: This refers to the snail. * Yupian* also states: "Yu, when moving, extends its horns; when startled, it retracts, hiding both head and tail within the shell." Sugong [Su Gong] considered Kuoyu to be a shell-less snail, which is incorrect. Currently, *Shennong Bencao Jing* calls Kuoyu "Lingli," and *Bielu* has the name "Tuwo." Both "Wo" and "Li" belong to the category of shelled snails/slugs; they should not lack shells. Now, in damp places, there is a creature larger than a snail, without a shell but with horns, which people claim is an old snail.
Zong [Chen Cheng] said: Kuoyu and snails are two different things. Kuoyu has two pairs of tentacles and its body flesh consists of only one segment. Snails have four pairs of tentacles, and have additional flesh on their back to carry the shell while walking. If they were the same thing, how could the *Jing* [Classic] divide them into two entries? *Shuben* [Edition of Shu] further claims that Kuoyu is an old snail, which is highly unreasonable.
Shizhen [Li Shizhen] said: According to *Erya*, there is no term "Kuoyu"; it only says: "Luo, Yu." It only mentions Kuoyu, also known as Fu Wo. Based on this, "Yu" is "Luo" [Snail], and "Kuoyu" is "Fu Wo." They are likely two varieties of the same class, similar to clams [Ge] which have similar therapeutic functions and can both counteract centipede and scorpion toxicity. Their names are used interchangeably, all referred to as Wo and Yan You Luo. Those who consider them one entity or two entities are both mistaken due to lack of deep investigation. Only Xu Shen's *Shuowen Jiezi* states: "Those carrying shells on their backs are called Nuowo [Snails]; those without shells are called Kuoyu [Slugs]." One sentence resolves the issue.
[Correction of Errors]
Hongjing said: Kuoyu falls within the limit of the Thirty-Six Zodiac Animals and belongs to the category of four-horned insects; it is the essence of the Ying Shi Star. Practitioners no longer use it.
Gong [Su Gong] said: Tao's statement is erroneous. In the Thirty-Six Zodiac Animals, Hai position corresponds to Bishui , which is the hedgehog, with hairs like arrows. *Shanhai Jing* states: , pig-like body with human face,
[Flavor and Properties] Salty, Cold, Non-toxic.
[Therapeutic Functions] Treats wind-stroke causing facial paralysis [Zhifeng Pianpi], dislocated tendons [Yijin], and prolapsed rectum [Tuogang], as well as convulsions and spasms due to fright-epilepsy [Jingxian Luansuo] (*Shennong Bencao Jing*. , pronounced Kǔguāi qiē, meaning crooked mouth. Yi, pronounced Diē, meaning turning wheel,引申 to tendon twisting). Centipede and scorpion venom (*Yanyi* [Extended Meanings]).
[Elucidation]
Zong [Chen Cheng] said: Centipedes fear Kuoyu and dare not cross paths where Kuoyu has passed; touching its body causes death. Therefore, people use it to treat centipede venom.
Shizhen [Li Shizhen] said: According to Cai Tao's *Tiewei Shan Congtan*: In southern mountainous regions, there are many centipedes, some two or three feet long. When bitten, victims seek death but find none until they encounter the "fetus insect" [slugs/Kuoyu], at which point the centipede becomes restricted and stops moving. The insect then climbs onto its head, burrows into its brain, and kills it. Thus, people use this insect, freshly ground, applied topically to treat centipede bites. Additionally, *Daquan Liangfang* states: For hemorrhoids with heat, swelling, and pain, use one large Kuoyu, grind it into a paste, add one fen of Longnao [Borneol], and half qian of Yanzhi pi [Carmine substrate], and apply together. First use stone... [Text implies application method] Snails have the same efficacy.
[Attached Prescriptions] New prescription: One.
Leg ulcers [Jiaojing Lanchuang]: Foul-smelling and unbearable to approach. Use ten Yan You Luo [slugs], dry-roast on a tile, grind into powder, mix with oil, and apply to the affected area. Immediate effect. (*Jiuji Fang* [Emergency Prescriptions])
