【苏颂说】虎骨使用头部和胫骨,颜色黄的为佳。凡是使用虎身的各种部位,都使用雄虎的胜过。被药箭射杀的,不可入药,其毒液浸渍在骨血之间,能伤害人。【李时珍说】凡是使用虎的各种骨头,都要捶碎去掉骨髓,涂酥油或用酒或醋,各自根据方法,用炭火烤黄后入药。
【苏颂说】虎睛(虎眼)有很多伪品,必须是自己捕获的才是真的。【某人说】凡是使用虎睛,必须询问猎人:有雌有雄,有老有嫩,有杀死的。只有中毒自死的不要用,能伤人。虎睛,用生羊血浸泡一个晚上后捞出,微火焙干,捣成粉使用。【李时珍说】《千金方》治疗狂邪病,有虎睛汤、虎睛丸,都用酒浸泡后烤干使用。
【某人说】凡是使用犀角,不要混入杂胆。象胆干了之后,上面有青竹文斑光泽细腻,味道微带甘。入药时不要立刻和其他药混合,必须先捣成粉,再和其他药混合。(按语:这一条在《大观本草》、《政和本草》中没有。)
【陶弘景说】入药只有雄性犀牛自然生长的角为佳。如果是犀片以及现成的器物都被蒸煮过,不堪使用。【苏颂说】凡是犀角入药……(原文此处似有缺漏或排版错误,结合上下文推测为关于犀角处理的描述,但依据“不增添内容”原则,仅翻译可见部分)蜕角……汤……坼……燥……
【某人说】凡是取得犀角后,每一斤加入生花椒十四个,一同炼制过,用容器盛放收藏。
《圣惠方》说:熊掌难煮烂,得到酒、醋、水三样东西同煮,煮熟后就大如皮球了。
【某人说】凡是使用鹿茸,有神羊角非常长,有二十四节,内有天生木胎。这个角有神力,可抵千牛之力。凡是使用……更研……(原文此处语句不完整,依原文直译)
【别录说】四月、五月解角时取,阴干,使用时要干燥。【恭曰】鹿茸,夏天收采的阴干,一百个收不到一个,而且容易臭,只有破开用火烘干最好。【某人说】凡是使用鹿茸,用黄精的自然汁浸泡两昼夜,捞出切好焙干捣碎使用,免得……脆……研……矣(原文此处语句不完整,依原文直译)
[Song said] For tiger bone, the head and tibia are used; those with a yellow color are superior. When using various parts of the tiger's body, male tigers are preferred over females. Tigers killed by poisoned arrows must not be used in medicine, as their poison permeates the bones and blood, which can harm humans. [Shizhen said] When using any bones from a tiger, they should be crushed to remove the marrow, then coated with suet (animal fat), wine, or vinegar, according to specific methods, and roasted over charcoal fire until yellow before being used in medicine.
[Song said] Tiger eyes (Hu Jing) are often counterfeit; only those obtained personally by hunting are genuine. [Anonymous said] When preparing tiger eyes, one must inquire of the hunter: whether they are from male or female, old or young, or if the animal was killed. Those that died from poisoning should not be used, as they can cause harm. Tiger eyes should be soaked in raw sheep's blood overnight, then drained and dried over low heat, and ground into powder for use. [Shizhen said] The *Qianjin Fang* treats manic disorders with Hu Jing Tang (Tiger Eye Decoction) and Hu Jing Wan (Tiger Eye Pill), both prepared by soaking in wine and roasting dry.
[Anonymous said] When processing rhino horn, do not mix it with gallbladder. Dried elephant gall has a green bamboo-patterned mottling on its surface, is smooth and glossy, and has a slightly sweet taste. When incorporating it into medicine, do not mix it directly with other herbs; it must first be ground into powder, and then mixed with other ingredients. (Note: This section is absent in the *Daguan Bencao* and *Zhenghe Bencao*.)
[Tao Hongjing said] Only naturally shed horns from male rhinos are suitable for medicinal use. If the material consists of sliced pieces or pre-made artifacts, they have likely been steamed or boiled and are unsuitable. [Song said] Regarding the use of rhino horn...

[Anonymous said] Upon obtaining the horn, for every jin (approx. 500g), add fourteen raw Sichuan peppercorns, refine them together, and store in a vessel.
The *Shenghui Fang* states: Bear paws are difficult to cook until soft; boiling them together with wine, vinegar, and water will result in a texture as large as a leather ball when cooked through.
[Anonymous said] When using deer antler, there is a type called "Divine Sheep Horn" which is very long, having twenty-four nodes, with a natural wooden core inside. This horn possesses divine power, equivalent to that of a thousand oxen. When processing... further grinding... [Text appears fragmented]
*Bielu* states: Collect during April and May when the horns are shed, dry in the shade, and ensure they are dry when used. [Gong said] Deer antlers harvested in summer and dried in the shade yield very little (one out of a hundred), and they are prone to spoilage; it is best to split them and dry them over fire. [Anonymous said] When preparing deer antler, soak it in the fresh juice of *Polygonatum sibiricum* (Huangjing) for two days and nights, drain, slice, roast, and grind for use, to prevent... brittleness... grinding...
