【形态与产地】形状像木楔。有八条腿且尾巴长。身体有节，颜色青黑。尾巴长的叫虿，尾巴短的叫蝎。产自青州的质量最好。蝎子螫咬人，用泥水敷在伤口上。或者在地上画个十字，取十字交叉处的土，用水送服五分。如果螫伤在手足，用冷水浸泡患处，稍变暖就更换。如果螫伤在身体其他部位，用水浸湿布巾拓敷患处，都有效。（陶弘景记载）
【性味归经】味道咸、甘、辛。药气温平。入足厥阴肝经。头部先呈现咸甘味，后呈现辛甘味，辛味没有优劣之分。尾部先呈现咸甘味，后呈现辛味，又带有苦味。
【论述】蝎子颜色青，多产于东方，禀受了风木之气的专气。它的甘味不敌辛味，其性平者亦表现为辛。这是风木之气的作用，能够疏散邪气，能辅助补益脾胃（土）奏效，在金气中化生元气。下文提到金气引导它，即……
【修治】体型紧小者佳。有用全蝎的，有用蝎尾的。蝎尾的药力尤为猛烈。大概因为蝎子的药味多在尾部，且带有苦味，合于……
斑蝥应写作“蝥”。因为甲壳上有青黑色的斑点，俗名也叫斑猫。大小如巴豆。八月九月时在豆叶上吸食豆汁。
气味辛寒，有大毒。主治瘰疬，破石癃（尿结石），以及血疝、便毒。拔除疔毒，治疗疯犬咬伤。方书中治疗蓄血导致的胀满、痿痹、结聚而游走不定的疼痛。
【论述】斑蝥多用于外治。内服仅用于破除石癃，驱逐血积。大抵能破除阴结并直接溃散其所结之毒。
其性大毒，能溃烂人的肌肉。如果保留药性（存性）使用，仍能啃噬人的肠胃，导致发泡溃烂致死。如果是瘰疬或疯犬咬伤者……
【修事】七八月豆类茂盛时采集，阴干。去掉翅膀和足，放入糯米中，炒至米粒变黄为度。生用会让人呕吐腹泻。
[Form and Origin] The shape resembles a wooden wedge. It has eight legs and a long tail. The body is segmented and greenish-black in color. Those with long tails are called *Chai* (scorpion larvae), while those with short tails are called *Xie* (scorpions). Those produced in Qingzhou are of the best quality. When a scorpion stings a person, apply mud water to the wound. Alternatively, draw a cross on the ground, take the soil from the intersection, and ingest five fen mixed with water. If the sting is on the hands or feet, soak the affected area in cold water, changing it as soon as it becomes slightly warm. If the sting is on the body, apply a cloth soaked in water to the area. All these methods are effective. (Recorded by Tao Hongjing)
[Flavor, Temperature, and Meridian Tropism] Flavor: salty, sweet, pungent. Temperature: neutral. Enters the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian. The head first tastes salty and sweet, then pungent and sweet; the pungency has no distinction of superiority or inferiority. The tail first tastes salty and sweet, then pungent, and also bitter.
[Dissertation] Scorpions are green in color and mostly produced in the East, endowing them with the specific qi of Wind-Wood. Their sweet flavor does not outweigh the pungent flavor; their neutral nature also manifests as pungent. This is the action of Wind-Wood qi, which can disperse [pathogens], assist in tonifying Spleen Earth to achieve efficacy, and transform qi within Metal qi. The following text mentions Metal qi guiding it, i.e., ...
[Processing] Those that are tight and small are preferred. Some use the whole scorpion, some use only the tail. The tail's medicinal power is particularly potent. This is likely because most of the scorpion's medicinal flavors reside in the tail, and it carries a bitter taste, combining with...
The character for "Ban" should be written as "Mao". Because there are green-black spots on its elytra, it is commonly known as "Ban Mao" (Blister Beetle). It is as large as a croton seed. In August and September, it feeds on the juice of soybean leaves.
Aroma and Flavor: pungent and cold. Possesses great toxicity. Mainly treats scrofula (*Luoli*), breaks urinary calculi (*Shilong*), and addresses blood hernia (*Xueshan*) and genital sores (*Biandu*). Extracts carbuncle toxin, treats rabid dog bites. Formulary books treat distension and fullness due to blood stasis, flaccidity, and nodules that wander.
[Dissertation] Blister beetles are mostly used for external treatment. Internal use is limited to breaking urinary calculi and driving out blood accumulation. Generally, they can break Yin knots and directly溃散 (disperse/ulcerate) the toxins accumulated therein.
Its nature is highly toxic and can ulcerate human muscles. Even if preserved in its original state (Cunxing), it can still gnaw at the intestines and stomach, causing blistering, ulceration, and death. For cases of scrofula or rabid dog bites...
[Preparation] Harvest when beans are lush in July and August, dry in the shade. Remove wings and legs. Place in glutinous rice and stir-fry until the rice turns yellow. Raw usage causes vomiting and diarrhea.
