雀瓮
味甘，性平，无毒。主治小儿惊痫（小儿因受惊引起的抽搐痉挛）、寒热往来、气机郁结、蛊毒及鬼疰（一种慢性消耗性传染病）。又名躁舍。产于汉中地区，采收后需蒸制。生长于树枝之间，是（音髯）（音斯）的巢房。八月采集。
陶隐居说：这是蚝虫（七吏切，即天牛科幼虫或类似毛虫）的巢。这种虫子多生活在石榴树上，民间称为蚝虫，其背部的毛也能刺伤人体。产卵形状像鸡蛋，大小如巴豆，如今医方中也不常用此药。蚝，也写作（七吏切）。《唐本草》注解说：这种物体紫白相间有斑纹，形状像砗磲的纹理一样可爱，大的像雀蛋，在树间看起来像螵蛸（蚕茧）一样的虫体。臣禹锡等人谨按《蜀本注》说：麻雀喜欢吃它，民间称之为“雀儿饭瓮”。陈藏器说：除了原有功效外，还能主治小儿撮口病（新生儿破伤风的一种表现，口唇紧缩），先针刺小儿口旁使其见血，将痈（此处指雀瓮）捣碎取汁涂抹，也可以生捣鼠妇和雀瓮汁混合涂抹。小儿多患此病，逐渐出现口部紧缩不能吸吮乳汁的情况。凡产妇分娩时，打开各种物品的口部不让其闭合，是为了相互厌胜（迷信习俗，认为可避邪）。打破雀瓮绞取汁液，给普通小儿饮用，可令无疾病。《神农本草经》记载：是（音髯）的巢房。苏恭说这是蚝虫的卵。而且蚝虫身体扁平，背上有刺，大小如蚕，怎么会有卵像雀蛋那么大呢？苏恭的说法是大错特错的。雀痈又名雀瓮，是因为它的形状像瓮而得名。“痈”、“瓮”读音相近。这种虫子喜欢栖息在果树上，背部有五色的裥毛，刺人有毒。将要老熟时，口中吐出白色汁液，凝聚后逐渐变硬，正像雀蛋，幼虫在其中化蛹，以瓮作为茧，羽化后飞出，像蚕子一样产卵在叶片间，哪里会有蚝虫的卵像雀蛋那么大呢？日华子说：这是毛虫的窠穴，有毒。
《图经》说：雀瓮，就是（音髯）的巢房。生长在汉中的树枝上，现在到处都有。（音髯），即蚝虫（七吏切），也称为（与蚝同义）。毛虫喜欢栖息在石榴树上，形状像蚕但较短，背部有五色斑纹，刺螫人有毒。将要老熟时口中吐出白汁，凝聚后逐渐坚硬，正像雀蛋，所以得名。又名雀痈，“痈”、“瓮”读音相近，幼虫在瓮中化蛹，就像蚕在茧中一样。久了变成蛾飞出，在树枝叶片间产卵如蚕子，又变为虫。旧注认为瓮是虫卵，这是不对的。另一种说法是麻雀喜欢吃瓮中的幼虫，所以民间称为“雀儿饭瓮”，又名棘刚子，又名天浆子。八月采集，蒸制。如今医家治疗小儿慢惊风（小儿慢性惊厥）的方剂中，使用带有虫体的天浆子、白僵蚕、干蝎三味药，微炒后，各取三枚，捣碎过筛成粉末，用麻黄汤煎煮调服一钱匕（古代量词，约1-2克），每日三次，根据患儿年龄大小加减用量，效果显著。
《衍义》说：雀瓮多生长在荆棘枝条上，所以又名棘刚子。研磨其中的虫体取出，灌服给小儿，可治疗惊痫。
Queweng (Cocoon of the Tussah Moth or similar insect nest)
Taste: Sweet. Nature: Neutral. Toxicity: Non-toxic. Indications: Primarily treats infantile convulsions and epilepsy (Jingxian), alternating chills and fever, Qi stagnation, Gu poison, and Guizhu disease (a chronic wasting infectious disease). Also known as Zaoshe. Grows in Hanzhong region; harvested and steamed. It forms nests on tree branches, specifically the nests of the Ran Si insect. Harvested in August.
Tao Hongjing states: This is the nest of the Hao insect (pronounced "qi li qie", referring to a type of hairy caterpillar or larva). These insects are often found on pomegranate trees, commonly called Hao insects in folklore, and their dorsal spines can sting humans. The eggs are shaped like chicken eggs, about the size of Croton seeds (Badou). Currently, medical formulas rarely use this substance. "Hao" is also written as [character]. The Commentary of Tang Bencao notes: This object has purple and white mottled patterns, resembling the texture of Tridacna shells (Chequ), which is quite attractive. Large ones are the size of a sparrow's egg, appearing in trees like silkworm cocoons (Piaoxiao). Chen Yuxi et al., according to the Shu Bencao commentary, state: Sparrows like to eat it, hence the folk name "Sparrow's Rice Jar". Chen Cangqi adds: In addition to its original functions, it treats infantile trismus (suo kou bing, characterized by tight closure of the mouth). Prick the sides of the infant's mouth until bleeding occurs, then crush the Queyong, extract the juice, and apply it. Alternatively, crush fresh ground beetle (Shufu) and Queyong juice together and apply. Infants often suffer from this condition, gradually developing trismus and inability to suckle milk. During childbirth, opening various objects' mouths and not letting them close is a superstitious practice intended to ward off evil spirits. Breaking open the Queyong, extracting the juice, and giving it to ordinary infants is believed to prevent illness. The Classic of Materia Medica records: It is the nest of the Ran insect. Su Gong claims it is the egg of the Hao insect. However, the Hao insect is flat with dorsal spines, about the size of a silkworm; how could its egg be as large as a sparrow's egg? Su Gong's assertion is deeply erroneous. Queyong is also named Queyong because its shape resembles a jar. "Yong" and "Weng" have similar pronunciations. These insects prefer fruit trees, have five-colored bristles on their backs, and are toxic if they sting. As they mature, they exude white fluid from their mouths, which solidifies into a hard shell resembling a sparrow's egg. The larvae pupate inside, using the jar as a cocoon, and emerge as moths, laying eggs on leaves like silkworm eggs. How could a Hao insect egg be the size of a sparrow's egg? Ri Hua Zi states: It is a nest for hairy insects and is toxic.
The Illustrated Classic of Materia Medica states: Queweng is the nest of the Ran insect. It grows on tree branches in Hanzhong and is now widespread. The Ran insect is the Hao insect (pronounced "qi li qie"), also referred to as [character] (same meaning as Hao). Hairy insects prefer pomegranate trees; they resemble silkworms but are shorter, with five-colored spots on their backs, and are toxic if they sting. Upon maturation, they exude white fluid that hardens into a structure resembling a sparrow's egg, hence the name. It is also called Queyong; "Yong" and "Weng" sound similar. The larvae pupate inside the jar, similar to silkworms in cocoons. Eventually, they emerge as moths, laying eggs on branches and leaves like silkworm eggs, restarting the cycle. Old commentaries incorrectly identified the jar as the insect's egg. Another theory suggests sparrows eat the larvae inside the jars, leading to the folk name "Sparrow's Rice Jar." It is also known as Jigangzi and Tianjiangzi. Harvested in August and steamed. Current medical practitioners use Tianjiangzi containing larvae, Bai Jiangcan (Bombyx Batryticatus, Silkworm), and Gan Xie (Scorpio, Dried Scorpion) in three parts, lightly stir-fried, each taken as three units, ground into powder, and administered with Huangqi Decoction (Mahuang Tang) decoction, one Qianbi (approx. 1-2 grams) per dose, three times daily, adjusted for age. This method is highly effective for treating slow convulsions in children.
Yanyi states: Queweng is mostly found on thorny branches, hence the name Jigangzi. Grind the insect inside, extract it, and administer to infants to treat convulsions and epilepsy.
