【释名】次（音秋。出自《尔雅》）、蝓（属俞。出自《方言》）。
李时珍说：据王安石《字说》记载：设置一张单面的网，物体触碰后才惩罚它。知道“诛”字含义的，所以称它为蜘蛛。《尔雅》写作“䗨”，从黾字旁，黾指大肚子。扬雄《方言》记载：函谷关以东称为“䗨”，北燕和朝鲜地区称为“蟏蛸”。
【集解】陶弘景说：蜘蛛有几十种，现在入药只使用结网像鱼篓一样的种类，也叫做“彭蜞”，妇女也用于方术之中。其余的种类都不入药。
苏颂说：蜘蛛到处都有，种类极多。《尔雅》记载：次、䗨、蟏蛸等名称。
陈藏器说：蟏蛸在孔穴中及草木上结网，陶弘景所说的就是蜘蛛，这是错误的。
苏恭说：凡是颜色五颜六色的，以及身体大且有刺毛生长的，还有薄小的，都不入药。只有身体小屁股大，腹内有苍黄色脓液的才是真品。取在西面屋檐下结网的蜘蛛，去掉头、足，研磨成膏使用。
寇宗奭说：蜘蛛品种很多，都有毒。现在人们多用人家屋檐角、篱笆头、陋巷之间，在空中结圆网，大肚子深灰色的那种。它的尿溅到人身上，会让人生疮癣。
苏恭说：剑南、山东地区，被这种虫子咬伤，疮口中会吐出丝来，多次有死亡案例。
李时珍说：蜘蛛布网，其丝向右缠绕。它的种类很多，大小颜色不一，《尔雅》只分为蜘蛛、草蛛、土蛛及蟏蛸四种而已。蜘蛛咬人毒性很大，往往见于典籍记载。
据刘禹锡《传信方》记载：判官张延赏，被斑纹蜘蛛咬了脖子，一夜之间有两道红脉绕颈下至心前，头脸肿得像几斗米那么多，几乎无法挽救。有人用大蓝汁加入麝香、雄黄，抓一只蜘蛛投入其中，随即化为水。然后用此液点涂在被咬处，两天全部痊愈。又说：贞元十年，崔从质员外说：有人被蜘蛛咬伤，肚子大得像孕妇。有个和尚教他喝羊奶，几天后就好了。又据李绛《兵部手集》记载：被蜘蛛咬得全身长疮的人，喝好酒直到醉倒，那么虫体就像小米一样从肉中自行排出。刘郁《西使记》记载：赤木儿城有一种像蜘蛛的虫子，毒中人则烦渴，喝水立刻死亡，只有喝葡萄酒直到醉吐才能解毒。这与西域赛蓝地方的情况类似。又有用羊肝遍擦受伤部位，经过一天一夜疼痛才停止，痊愈后皮肤脱落像蜕皮一样。牛马被伤辄死。元稹《长庆集》记载：巴中的蜘蛛大而有毒，用苦酒调雄黄涂抹，仍用鼠负虫吃掉其丝尽则痊愈。不急救的话，毒气攻心能使人死亡。段成式《酉阳杂俎》记载：深山中有大如车轮的蜘蛛，能吃人和动物。如果像这几家说法，都是不可不知的。《淮南万毕术》记载：赤斑蜘蛛吃猪油一百天，杀死后涂在布上，雨淋不湿；杀死后涂在脚上，可以踩在水上。《抱朴子》说：蜘蛛、水马，合冯夷水仙丸服用，可以在水中居住。这些都是方士荒诞不经的话，不值得相信。
【气味】微寒，有小毒。
唐慎微《证类本草》（大明）说：无毒。畏蔓青、雄黄。
李时珍说：蜘蛛进入饮食不可食用。
【主治】大人、小儿疰病，以及小儿大腹丁奚病，三年不能行走者（出自《名医别录》）。蜈蚣、蜂、蝎螫伤人，取蜘蛛放在咬处，吸出毒素（陶弘景）。主治蛇毒、温疟，止呕逆霍乱（苏恭）。取汁，涂治蛇伤。烧熟吃，治疗小儿腹疳（苏颂）。主治口僻、脱肛、疮肿、狐臭、齿龋（李时珍）。斑纹蜘蛛，治疗疟疾、疔肿（《日华子本草》）。
【发明】苏颂说：《名医别录》说蜘蛛治疗疝气。张仲景治疗阴狐疝气，偏侧大小不一，时时上下移动者，用蜘蛛散主治。蜘蛛十四枚（炒焦），桂枝半两，研为散。每次服用八分一匕，每日两次。或者用蜜丸也可以。
苏恭说：蜘蛛能制服蛇，所以治疗蛇毒，但本条原文没有提到这一点。
李时珍说：《鹤林玉露》记载：蜘蛛能制服蜈蚣，用尿液喷射它，蜈蚣节节断烂。那么陶弘景说蜘蛛治疗蜈蚣伤，也是相互制约的道理。沈括《笔谈》记载：蜘蛛被蜂螫，能咬芋梗，磨碎敷创口而愈。现在蜘蛛又能治疗蜂、蝎螫伤，为什么呢？又有记载：某人患干霍乱，满腹胀满不得吐下。名叫干霍乱，只用活蜘蛛剪去脚吞服就能痊愈。只是人们不知道，甲某当时就死了。谟醒来后，派人验证，甲果然死了。后来用此法治疗干霍乱都有效。按此说虽然奇怪，正符合《唐注》治疗呕逆霍乱的条文，应当也不谬误。大概蜘蛛具有……（原文此处似有缺漏或语意未完，依文意理解为蜘蛛具有治疗霍乱的功效）。

(Recorded in the Lower Category of *Bie Lu*)
[Names] Ci (pronounced Qiu. From *Erya*), Yu (Shuyu. From *Fangyan*).
Li Shizhen stated: According to Wang Anshi's *Zi Shuo*: It sets up a single-sided net, and punishes objects only after they touch it. Knowing the meaning of "punish" (Zhu), hence it is called Spider (*Zhi Zhu*). *Erya* writes it as "Min", with the radical "Min" (turtle/frog), where Min refers to a large belly. Yang Xiong's *Fangyan* records: East of Hangu Pass, it is called "Min"; in Northern Yan and the Korean peninsula, it is called "Xiao Xiao".
[Collection and Explanation]
Tao Hongjing said: There are dozens of species of spiders. Currently used in medicine are only those that spin webs resembling fish traps, also known as "Peng Qi". Women also use them in alchemical practices. The other species are not used in medicine.
Su Song said: Spiders are found everywhere, and their varieties are extremely numerous. *Erya* mentions names such as Ci, Min, and Xiao Xiao.
Chen Zangqi said: Xiao Xiao spins webs in holes and on plants and trees. Tao Hongjing's statement that this is the spider is incorrect.
Su Gong said: Those with five colors, or those with large bodies and growing prickly hairs, as well as those that are thin and small, are not used in medicine. Only those with small bodies, large abdomens, and containing grayish-yellow pus inside are authentic. Take spiders spinning webs on the west side of houses, remove the head and legs, and grind into paste for use.
Kou Zongshi said: There are many varieties of spiders, all poisonous. Nowadays, people mostly use the deep-gray ones with large bellies that spin round webs in the air at eaves, fence tops, and alleys. If its urine splashes on a person, it causes sores and tinea.
Su Gong said: In Jiannan and Shandong regions, bites from this insect result in silk emerging from the wound, with frequent deaths reported.
Li Shizhen said: When spiders spin webs, their silk winds to the right. There are many species, varying in size and color. *Erya* only divides them into four types: Spider (*Zhi Zhu*), Grass Spider (*Cao Zhi Zhu*), Earth Spider (*Tu Zhi Zhu*), and Xiao Xiao. Spider bites are very toxic and often recorded in classics.
According to Liu Yuxi's *Chuan Xin Fang*: Pan Guan Zhang Yanshang was bitten on the neck by a spotted spider. Overnight, two red veins wrapped around his neck down to the chest, and his head and face swelled to the size of several dou, nearly causing death. Someone mixed great blue plant juice with musk and realgar, threw a spider into it, which immediately turned into water. This liquid was applied to the bite site, resulting in complete recovery in two days. It is also said: In the 10th year of Zhenyuan, Yuan Wai Cui Congzhi stated: A person bitten by a spider had a belly swollen like a pregnant woman. A monk advised drinking goat milk, and he recovered in a few days. Also, Li Jiang's *Bingbu Shouji* records: For those bitten by spiders with sores all over the body, drinking good wine until drunk causes the worm to emerge from the flesh like millet grains. Liu Yu's *Xi Shi Ji* records: In Chimu'er City, there is an insect like a spider; if it poisons a person, they feel irritability and thirst, and die immediately upon drinking water. Only drinking grape wine until drunk and vomiting can resolve the toxicity. This is similar to conditions in the Sai Lan region of the Western Regions. Another method involves rubbing the affected area thoroughly with sheep liver; pain stops after one day and night, and the skin peels off like a molt. Cattle and horses die if injured by this. Yuan Zhen's *Changqing Ji* records: Spiders in Bazhong are large and toxic. Applying realgar mixed with vinegar cures it; using the rat-borne insect to eat the silk leads to recovery. Without urgent treatment, the toxin reaching the heart can cause death. Duan Chengshi's *Youyang Zazu* records: In deep mountains, there are spiders as large as wagon wheels that can eat humans and animals. These various accounts are things one must know. *Huainan Wanbi Shu* records: Eating pig fat for 100 days makes the red-spotted spider toxic enough that its body applied to cloth prevents wetting by rain; applied to feet, one can walk on water. *Baopuzi* states: Taking pills made from spiders and water horses combined with Fengyi Water Immortal Pill allows one to live underwater. These are all fantastical tales of alchemists and are not credible.
[Properties and Flavor] Slightly cold, slightly toxic.
*Tang Shenwei's Bencao* (Da Ming) states: Non-toxic. Averse to turnip greens and realgar.
Li Shizhen stated: Spiders should not be consumed in food or drink.
[Indications] Adults and children suffering from Zhuan disease, and children with abdominal distension (Ding Xi syndrome) unable to walk for three years (*Bie Lu*). For bites/stings from centipedes, bees, and scorpions, place the spider on the bite site to suck out the toxin (Tao Hongjing). Mainly treats snake venom, warm malaria, and stops vomiting and cholera-like symptoms (Su Gong). Juice applied to treat snake bites. Roasted and eaten to treat pediatric abdominal malnutrition (Su Song). Mainly treats facial paralysis, rectal prolapse, sores/abscesses, fox odor (axillary osmidrosis), and dental caries (Li Shizhen). Spotted spiders treat malaria and carbuncles (*Rihua Bencao*).
[Elucidation]
Su Song said: *Bie Lu* states spiders treat hernia. Zhang Zhongjing treated Yin Hu Hernia, characterized by asymmetry and intermittent movement, using Spider Powder. Spider (14 pieces, stir-fried until charred), Cinnamon Twig (Ban Liang), ground into powder. Take 8 fen per dose, twice daily. Honey pills are also effective.
Su Gong said: Spiders can subdue snakes, thus treating snake venom, though this specific indication is missing from the original text.
Li Shizhen said: *Helin Yulu* records: Spiders can subdue centipedes by spraying urine on them, causing them to rot joint by joint. Thus, Tao Hongjing's claim that spiders treat centipede bites aligns with the principle of mutual suppression. Shen Kuo's *Bi Tan* records: When bitten by a bee, a spider chews taro stems and applies the paste to heal the wound. How can spiders now also treat bee and scorpion stings? There is also a record: A person suffered from Gan Huoluan (dry cholera), with fullness preventing vomiting or purging. Swallowing a live spider with legs removed cured him. However, people were unaware, and Person Jia died at that time. Mo woke up, sent someone to verify, and Jia was indeed dead. Later, this method proved effective for dry cholera. Although strange, this aligns with the *Tang Annotation* regarding treating vomiting and cholera, likely correct. Presumably, spiders possess... [Text implies efficacy against cholera].

Or shoot spider with bow, cut silk, collect. For soldiers with metal wounds, cut square inch piece, apply, bleeding stops immediately. Thus, spider web is a hemostatic agent.
