味咸，平，无毒。主治目瞑痒痛，治淋，利水道，明目，夜视有精光。久服令人喜乐，
媚好，无忧。一名蝙蝠。生太山川谷，及人家屋间。立夏后采，阴干。（苋实、云实为之
伏翼目及胆，术家用为洞视法，自非白色倒悬者，亦不可服之也。（《大观》卷十九，《政和》
四○二页）
味苦，平，无毒。主治五痔，阴蚀，下血赤白五色，血汁不止，阴肿，痛引腰背，酒煮
杀之。又治腹痛，疝积，亦烧为灰，酒服之。生楚山川谷田野。取无时，勿使中湿。（得酒
良，畏桔梗、麦门冬。）
田野中时有此兽，人犯近，便藏头足，毛刺人，不可得捉，能跳入虎耳中。而见鹊便自
仰腹受啄，物有相制，不可思议尔。其脂烊铁注中，内少水银，则柔如铅锡矣。（《大观》卷
二
味咸，寒，有小毒。主治五癃邪结气，破石淋，下血，利小便水道。一名蜥蜴，一名山
龙子，一名守宫，一名石蜴。生平阳川谷，及荆山石间。五月取，着石上令干。（恶硫黄、
斑蝥、芜荑。）
其类有四种∶一大形，纯黄色，为蛇医母，亦名蛇舅母，不入药；次似蛇医，小形长尾，
见人不动，名龙子；次有小形而五色，尾青碧可爱，名断蜴，并不螫人；一种喜缘篱壁，名
蜓，形小而黑，乃言螫人必死，而未常闻中人。案东方朔云∶“若非守宫则蜥蜴”。如此
蜓名守宫矣。以朱饲之，满三斤，杀，干末以涂女子身，有交接事便脱，不尔如赤志，故谓
守宫。今此一名守宫，犹如野葛、鬼臼之义也，殊难分别。（《大观》卷二十一，《政和》
四三二页）
【伏翼】
味咸，性平，无毒。主治眼睛昏花、瘙痒疼痛，治疗淋证，通利水道，明目，夜间视物清晰如见精光。长期服用使人心情愉悦喜乐，容貌美好，没有忧愁。又名蝙蝠。产于太山川谷以及人家屋檐间。立夏后采集，阴干。（苋实、云实可抑制伏翼的视力及胆的功能，术士将其用于“洞视”之法，如果不是白色倒悬的伏翼，也不可以服用。）
【皮】
味苦，性平，无毒。主治五痔（五种痔疮），阴部蚀烂，便下赤白五色脓血，血汁不止，阴部肿胀，疼痛牵引腰背，用酒煮杀之。又治疗腹痛、疝气积聚，也可烧成灰末，用酒送服。产于楚地山川田野。随时可采，不要使其受潮。（得酒则疗效更好，畏桔梗、麦门冬。）
田野中常有这种兽类，人若靠近侵犯，它就藏起头和脚，毛发刺人，难以捕捉，能跳入虎耳中。而见到喜鹊时便自己仰起腹部任其啄食，万物相生相克，不可思议啊。它的油脂熔化后注入铁水中，加入少量水银，就会变得像铅锡一样柔软。（《大观》卷二）
【石龙子】
味咸，性寒，有小毒。主治五种癃闭（小便不通）、邪气结聚，破除石淋，便血，通利小便水道。又名蜥蜴，又名山龙子，又名守宫，又名石蜴。产于平阳川谷以及荆山石缝间。五月采集，放置在石头上令其干燥。（恶硫黄、斑蝥、芜荑。）
其种类有四种：一种体型大，纯黄色，称为蛇医母，也称蛇舅母，不入药；第二种类似蛇医，体型小且长尾，见人不动，称为龙子；第三种体型小且五色斑斓，尾巴青碧可爱，称为断蜴，都不咬人；第四种喜欢攀缘篱笆墙壁，称为蜓，体型小而黑，有人说被它咬必死，但从未听说有人被它咬伤。查考东方朔的话：“如果不是守宫就是蜥蜴”。如此说来，这种蜓就称为守宫了。用朱砂喂养它，满三斤重后杀死，研成干末涂抹在女子身上，若有房事接触便会脱落，否则就像红色的标记一样，所以称为守宫。如今这里的“守宫”一名，犹如野葛、鬼臼的含义一样，很难区分清楚。（《大观》卷二十一，《政和》四三二页）
[Fuyi (Bat)]
Salty, neutral, non-toxic. Indicated for blurred vision, itching and pain of the eyes; treats Lin syndrome (dysuria), promotes urination, brightens the eyes, and enables clear night vision as if seeing a fine light. Long-term consumption brings joy and happiness, enhances charm and beauty, and eliminates worry. Also known as Bat. Grows in valleys of Mount Tai and under eaves of houses. Harvested after Start of Summer, dried in shade. (Xianshi [Amaranthus fruit] and Yunshi [Caesalpinia fruit] can impair the vision and gallbladder function of Fuyi; Daoist practitioners use it for "clairsentience" methods, but only white bats hanging upside down are suitable for medicinal use.)
[Pi (Skin/Hide - Context implies animal skin/fur, likely referring to a specific animal's skin or fur mentioned in lost context, literally "Skin") ]
Bitter, neutral, non-toxic. Indicated for five types of hemorrhoids (Wuzhi), genital erosion, discharge of red and white pus/blood of five colors from the anus, unceasing bloody discharge, genital swelling, and pain radiating to the lower back. Boiled in wine to kill/process. Also treats abdominal pain and hernia masses; can be burned to ash and taken with wine. Grows in fields and valleys of Chu region. Harvested at any time, keep dry. (Enhanced by wine; incompatible with Jiegeng [Platycodon Root] and Maimendong [Ophiopogon Tuber].)
This beast is often found in fields. When approached by humans, it hides its head and feet, its hair prickles the skin making it hard to catch, and it can jump into a tiger's ear. Upon seeing a magpie, it exposes its belly to be pecked. Mutual control among creatures is inconceivable. Its fat, when melted and poured into iron, with a small amount of mercury added, becomes soft like lead-tin alloy. (Da Guan Vol. 2)
[Shilongzi (Gecko)]
Salty, cold, slightly toxic. Indicated for five types of retention of urine (Longbi) and qi stagnation due to pathogenic factors, breaks stone Lin syndrome (urolithiasis), hematochezia/hematuria, and promotes urination. Also known as Xiyi (Lizard), Shanlongzi (Mountain Dragon Son), Shougong (Guard Palace), and Shi Yi (Stone Lizard). Grows in valleys of Pingyang and among rocks of Mount Jing. Harvested in May, dried on stones. (Incompatible with Liuhuang [Sulfur], Banmao [Mylabris], and Wuyi [Terminalia chebula]).
There are four kinds: The first is large and pure yellow, called Sheyimu (Snake Doctor Mother) or Shejiumu (Snake Uncle Mother), not used in medicine; the second resembles the Snake Doctor Mother, is small with a long tail, stays motionless when seeing people, called Longzi; the third is small with five colors, has a lovely blue-green tail, called Duanyi (Broken Lizard), none bite humans; the fourth likes to climb fences and walls, called Ting, small and black. It is said that being bitten by it causes death, yet no one has ever reported being bitten. According to Dongfang Shuo: "If it is not Shougong, then it is Xiyi." Thus, this Ting is called Shougong. Fed cinnabar until it weighs three jin, then killed, dried, and powdered to apply to women's bodies; if sexual intercourse occurs, the mark disappears, otherwise it remains like a red tattoo, hence named Shougong. The current term "Shougong" here, similar to Yege (Wild Aconite) and Guijiu (Podocarpus), is difficult to distinguish clearly. (Da Guan Vol. 21, Zhenghe p. 432)
