樗鸡（读音：丑如切）
味苦，性平，有小毒。主治心腹部的邪气，阳痿，能增益精气、强健意志，有助于生育且使人面色红润，补益中气、使身体轻健。又能治疗腰痛，降逆下气，增强阴精功能，但不可靠近眼睛使用。生于河内山谷的樗树上。七月采集，晒干。
陶隐居说：形状像寒蝉而较小，现在出产于梁州，药方中使用很少，只有在大麝香丸中用到它。樗树像漆树但有臭味，现在以生长在樗树上的为好，也像芫菁和亭长一样，必须生在芫菁或葛藤上的才是良品。唐本注说：这种物有两种，五色俱全的是雄虫，品质好；青色黑身带有白斑的是雌虫，不入药。现在出产于歧州，河内没有这种物了。
图经说：樗鸡，生于河内山谷的樗木上，现在京城附近都有。形状像寒蝉而较小，七月采集，晒干。谨按《尔雅》说：（音翰），是天鸡。郭璞注释说：小虫，黑身赤头。又名莎鸡，又叫樗鸠。李巡说：又名酸鸡。《广雅》称之为樗鸡。苏恭说：五色俱全的是雄虫，品质好；青色黑身带有白斑的是雌虫，不入药。然而现在所谓的莎鸡，也生在樗木上，六月后出来飞翔，振动翅膀发出索索声，有人将其养在笼中。只是头部方形、腹部大，翅羽外青内红，身体不黑，头部不赤，这与旧说完全不同，大概是另一种同名之物。现在生在樗木上的，人们称为红娘子，头、翅都是红色，才符合旧说，但不叫樗鸡，怀疑就是此物，大概是古今称呼不同罢了。古今的大麝香丸都用它，近代人少用，所以也很少区分。
衍义说：樗鸡，东、西京界尤其多。形状类似蚕蛾，只是头、足微黑，翅有两层，外层灰色，下层深红，五色俱全。腹部大，这就是樗鸡。现在人也用它来行瘀血、通血闭。
Chujī (Pronunciation: Chǒu rú qiē)
Bitter in taste, neutral in nature, slightly toxic. It primarily treats evil qi in the heart and abdomen, impotence (yáng wěi), benefits essence (jīng), strengthens willpower, aids fertility, improves complexion, tonifies the middle jiao (middle burner), and lightens the body. It also treats lower back pain, directs rebellious qi downward, strengthens yin and increases essence, but should not be brought near the eyes. It grows on the trees of Broussonetia papyrifera (chū shù) in the valleys of Henei. Collected in July and dried in the sun.
Tao Hongjing stated: Its shape resembles that of the cold cicada (hán chán) but is smaller. It is currently produced in Liangzhou and is rarely used in prescriptions; it is only employed in the preparation of Da Shexiang Wan (Great Musk Pill). The Broussonetia tree resembles the lacquer tree but has an odor. Currently, those growing on Broussonetia trees are considered superior. Similarly, regarding Cantharis (yuán jīng) and Tingzhang, those growing on Cantharis or Pueraria vines are deemed the best quality. The Tang Ben Zhu noted: There are two types of this substance. Those with complete five colors are male and of good quality; those with a blue-black body and white spots are female and not used for medicinal purposes. They are currently produced in Qizhou, and none exist in Henei.
Tu Jing stated: Chujī grows on Broussonetia trees in the valleys of Henei and is now found near the capital. Its shape resembles the cold cicada but is smaller. Collected in July and dried in the sun. According to the Erya: "Hàn" (pronounced Hàn), also known as Heavenly Chicken. Guo Pu commented: A small insect, black body with a red head. Also named Shaji (Sedge Chicken), or Chujiu. Li Xun said: Also known as Suanji (Sour Chicken). The Guangya calls it Chujī. Su Gong said: Those with complete five colors are male and of good quality; those with a blue-black body and white spots are female and not used for medicine. However, what is currently called Shaji also grows on Broussonetia trees, emerges and flies after June, vibrating its wings to make a rustling sound, and some people keep them in cages. But its head is square, abdomen large, wing feathers green outside and red inside, body not black, head not red. This differs significantly from old descriptions, suggesting it is a different species sharing the same name. What is currently found on Broussonetia trees is called Hongniangzi (Red Lady) by people, with red heads and wings, which aligns with old descriptions, but is not named Chujī. It is suspected to be the same substance, likely due to differences in ancient and modern nomenclature. It was used in the ancient Da Shexiang Wan, but modern usage is rare, hence distinctions are seldom made.
Yanyi stated: Chujī is particularly abundant in the borders of the Eastern and Western Capitals. Its shape resembles the silkworm moth, but the head and feet are slightly black. The wings are double-layered, the outer layer gray, the inner layer deep red, with all five colors present. The abdomen is large. This is Chujī. People now also use it to promote blood circulation and resolve blood stasis (xue bì).
