味甘，气微寒。一云微温。无毒。出雍洛河东，及怀卫山谷。形肥盛类豕，（状貌亦

熊脂
味甘，气微寒。一说气微温。无毒。产于雍州、洛州、河东以及怀州、卫州的山区。形体肥壮类似猪，（外貌也与猪相同。）性情轻捷超过猿猴。在温暖的日子里攀援高树，见到人便倒挂投下。寒冬时节进入深洞冬眠藏匿，饥饿时舔食自己的手掌作为食物。它的性质厌恶盐，吃了盐就会死亡。寿命长达五百年，能够变化为狐狸。猎人想要捕获它，必须发射弩箭。但用于治病，应当制作精细详细。脂肪像玉一样位于熊的心部，又名熊白；（有人说：是腹中的脂肪，其他部位的脂肪通称为是。）在锅中炼制去除脂肪和皮革渣滓，务必像生花椒那样。（雷公说：每斤脂，加入十四粒生花椒，炼完后，彻底去除脂革渣滓和花椒。）用磁罐储存收藏，用纸密封备用。（腊月获得的可以留存。）治疗头部的疮疡、白秃及面部黑斑，主治风痹导致的肌肤麻木不仁以及筋脉拘挛紧急。肠胃中的积聚之物可以消除，肢体消瘦羸弱能使其丰满。长期服用能增强意志、强健心脏，并且使人不感到饥饿、延缓衰老。但是有顽固性疾病的人，不宜食用，食用了则终身无法治愈。
熊胆味道极苦，不依附于肝脏。春天在头部，夏天移至腹部，秋天在左脚，冬天迁至右脚。依据四季规律搜寻检查，悬挂在通风处的阴凉地方阴干。凝结成块，明亮如胶，性质厌恶地黄和防己。遇到售卖者要辨别真伪，研磨后投入水中以优劣使知。取尘土先封住水面，将粉末继之投在尘土上。尘土最终向两边分裂，粉末则像一线迅速前行。（如果线不散开。）此品极佳，必须研磨得极其细腻。任意为丸剂或散剂，不要使用煎汤。治疗男女时行热病热气蒸腾，变为黄疸；治疗小儿风痰壅塞，引发惊痫。驱除五种疳积并杀虫，敷治恶疮散发毒素。痔疮久发不愈，涂抹之后立刻见到奇效。
熊肉无毒，味甘，腌制腊制后可食用。（如常法调和制作。）主治积聚、寒热等顽固疾病，祛除筋骨麻痹的风邪。熊掌是珍馐美味中难以煮熟的，得到酒、醋、水三件同煮。久煮则膨胀，大如皮球。主治功能方面，能抵御风寒。熊血主治小儿客忤，熊膏理历节风疼痛。熊脑髓制作油茶头，也能去除白秃和风屑。止头晕脱发，除耳聋耳鸣。
（陈嘉谟）按语：熊一身味美的东西，积聚在掌中。看它冬天冬眠不吃东西，饥饿只靠自舔，就可以知道了。难怪世人贵重它作为珍馐。孟子也说：舍弃鱼而选取熊掌。如果不是美味至极，肯这样说吗？但它所治疗的病，仅能抵御风寒，其余没有别的记载。悦口的容易，却病的难，从这里也可以验证了。
Bear Fat
Taste is sweet, nature is slightly cold. Some say nature is slightly warm. Non-toxic. Produced in Yongzhou, Luozhou, Hedong, and the valleys of Huaizhou and Weizhou. The body is fat and resembles a pig, (appearance is also similar to a pig.) The temperament is agile, surpassing that of an ape. On sunny days, it climbs high trees, and upon seeing people, it hangs upside down and drops. In deep winter, it enters deep caves to hibernate and hide; when hungry, it licks its own paws for sustenance. Its nature abhors salt; consuming it leads to death. It can live for five hundred years and transform into a fox. Hunters wishing to obtain it must use crossbow arrows. However, for medicinal use, it should be processed with precision and detail. The fat is like jade, located at the heart of the bear, also known as "Xiong Bai" (White Bear); (Some say: it is the fat in the abdomen, while fat from other parts is collectively referred to as such.) Refine it in a pot to remove fat residues and leather dregs, ensuring it resembles raw Sichuan pepper. (Lei Gong said: For every jin of fat, add fourteen grains of raw Sichuan pepper; after refining, thoroughly remove all fat-leather dregs and peppers.) Store in porcelain jars, seal with paper for future use. (Those obtained in the twelfth lunar month are suitable for storage.) It treats ulcers on the head, white alopecia, and facial hyperpigmentation; it governs wind-bi syndrome causing numbness and insensitivity of the skin, as well as tendon spasms and urgency. It eliminates accumulations in the stomach and intestines, and enriches emaciated limbs. Long-term consumption strengthens the will and heart, prevents hunger, and delays aging. However, those with chronic diseases should not consume it; doing so renders the disease incurable for life.
Bear Gallbladder
Taste is extremely bitter, does not attach to the liver. In spring, it is in the head; in summer, it moves to the abdomen; in autumn, it is in the left foot; in winter, it migrates to the right foot. Search and inspect according to the four seasons, hang in a shady place with air circulation to dry naturally. It condenses into blocks, bright like glue. Its nature abhors Rehmanniae Radix (Dihuang) and Stephaniae Tetrandrae Rhizoma (Fangji). When encountering sellers, distinguish between genuine and fake; grind and test in water to know the quality. Take dust, first seal the water surface, then throw the powder onto the dust. The dust eventually splits to both sides, while the powder moves rapidly in a single line. (If the line does not disperse.) This product is excellent and must be ground extremely fine. Use for pills or powders; do not use for decoctions. It treats epidemic febrile diseases in men and women where heat steams upward, transforming into jaundice; it treats pediatric phlegm-wind obstruction causing convulsions and epilepsy. It drives out five types of childhood malnutrition (Gan syndrome), kills parasites, and applies to malignant sores to dissipate toxins. For chronic, non-healing hemorrhoids, application yields miraculous results.
Bear Meat
Non-toxic, taste is sweet, can be eaten after curing and salting. (Prepare according to usual methods.) It treats accumulations, cold-heat complex, and chronic diseases; it expels wind-pathogens causing bone and tendon numbness. Bear paw is a delicacy difficult to cook; boil it together with wine, vinegar, and water. Prolonged cooking causes it to swell, becoming large as a ball. Its therapeutic functions include resisting wind-cold. Bear blood treats infantile fright (Ke Wu); bear grease treats rheumatic pain in joints (Li Jie Feng). Bear brain marrow, made into tea oil for the head, also removes white alopecia and wind-scaliness. It stops dizziness and hair loss, and cures deafness and tinnitus.
(Chen Jiamo) Commentary: The most delicious part of the bear's body accumulates in its paws. Observing that it does not eat during hibernation and only licks itself when hungry confirms this. No wonder the world values it as a delicacy. Mencius also said: "Abandon fish and choose bear's paw." If it were not extremely delicious, would he have said this? However, regarding the diseases it treats, it only resists wind-cold; there are no other records. It is easy to please the palate but difficult to cure diseases; this can be verified here.
