鲮鲤甲
性微寒。主治五邪，以及惊啼、悲伤等症。将其烧成灰，用酒或水调和，取一方寸匕的量服用，可治疗蚁入耳中。
陶隐居说：它的形状像鼍（扬子鳄）但短小，又像鲤鱼，有四只脚，既能上岸也能在水中活动。它爬到岸边张开鳞甲，装死的样子，让蚂蚁进入其中，忽然闭合身体潜入水中，再张开甲壳，蚂蚁都浮出水面，于是它就吃掉蚂蚁。所以它能主治蚁入耳，但此方使用很少，仅用于治疗疮癞及各类注病（慢性消耗性疾病）。臣禹锡等人谨按《蜀本图经》记载：生长在深山峡谷中，金州、房州、均州等地都有出产。《药性论》记载：鲮鲤甲，作为使药时，有大毒。治疗山瘴疟疾、恶疮，烧后敷用。日华子说：性凉，有毒。治疗小儿惊邪、妇人鬼魅所致悲泣以及痔漏、恶疮、疥癣。
《图经》记载：鲮鲤甲，旧籍未注明出产州郡，如今湖岭及金州、商州、均州、房州等地的深山峡谷中都有出产。形状像鼍但短小，颜色黑，又像鲤鱼但有四只脚，能上岸也能下水。中午时爬到岸边，张开鳞甲装作死亡，让蚂蚁进入其中，蚂蚁满了就闭合并潜入水中，蚂蚁都浮出，于是接住吃掉，所以主治蚁入耳最为有效。也主治恶疮疥癞，烧其甲壳研末，外敷。杨炎《南行方》记载：主治山瘴疟，有鲮鲤甲汤。现在人称之为穿山甲，近世医生也常用烧成灰，加入少许肉豆蔻末，用米饮调服，治疗肠痔疾。又治疗吹乳（急性乳腺炎），疼痛难忍，用穿山甲炙至黄色，木通各一两，自然铜半两，生用，将三味药捣碎过筛为散剂。每次服用二钱，温酒调下，不限时候。
《外台秘要》引《肘后备急方》：治疗蚂蚁进入耳朵。烧鲮鲤甲研末，用水调匀灌入耳中，蚂蚁即出来。《千金翼方》：治疗蚁漏（耳道流脓如蚁穴状）。取鲮鲤甲十四枚，研末，与猪脂混合外敷。《简要济众方》：治疗产后血气上冲心导致血晕。穿山甲一两，用童子小便浸泡一夜，取出后用慢火炙至黄色，研为散剂。每次服用一钱，加少许狗胆，热酒调下，随时服用。
《衍义》说：鲮鲤甲，在山中打洞居住，也能在水中活动。烧一两保留药性，肉豆蔻仁三个，共同研为末，用米饮调服二钱，治疗气痔，脓血；严重的加地榆皮一两，烧后加入，病愈即止，不必服完全部药剂。
Lingli Jia (Pangolin Scales)
Slightly cold in nature. It primarily treats the "five evils" (pathogenic factors), as well as convulsive crying and sorrowful weeping. When calcined into ash, it is mixed with wine or water, and one *cunshi* (a square-inch measure) is taken orally to treat ants entering the ear.
Tao Hongjing stated: Its shape resembles a crocodile (*Tu*) but is shorter and smaller, and also resembles a carp. It has four feet and can live both on land and in water. It climbs onto the bank, opens its scales, and lies still as if dead, allowing ants to enter inside. Suddenly, it closes up and enters the water. Upon opening its shell again, the ants float out, at which point it eats them. Therefore, it is effective for treating ants entering the ear, though this prescription is rarely used; it is mainly employed to treat sores, scabies, and various chronic wasting diseases (*Zhu* diseases). Ministers Yu Xi et al., according to the *Shu Ben Tu Jing*, recorded that it grows in deep mountain valleys and is found in Jin Prefecture, Fang Prefecture, Jun Prefecture, etc. The *Yao Xing Lun* records: Lingli Jia, when used as an assistant drug, has great toxicity. It treats mountain malaria and severe ulcers; after calcination, it is applied externally. Ri Huazi stated: It is cool in nature and toxic. It treats pediatric convulsions due to evil pathogens, women's weeping caused by ghostly influences, as well as hemorrhoids with leakage, severe ulcers, scabies, and tinea.
The *Tu Jing* records: Lingli Jia was not previously noted for specific producing regions. Currently, it is found in the hills and ridges of Jin, Shang, Jun, and Fang Prefectures, within deep mountains and valleys. It resembles a crocodile but is shorter and smaller, black in color, and like a carp but with four feet, capable of living on land and in water. At noon, it climbs onto the bank, opens its scales feigning death, allowing ants to enter. Once full, it closes up and enters the water; the ants then float out, which it catches and eats. Thus, it is most effective for treating ants entering the ear. It also treats severe ulcers, scabies, and scrofula; the scales are calcined and ground into powder for external application. Yang Yan's *Nan Xing Fang* records: It treats mountain malaria, featuring a Lingli Jia Decoction. People now call it Chuanshanjia (Pangolin Scales). Recent physicians also use it calcined into ash, mixed with a small amount of Nutmeg powder, and taken with rice water to treat intestinal hemorrhoids. It also treats acute mastitis ("blowing milk"), where pain is unbearable. One qian of Pangolin Scales is roasted until yellow, combined with one liang of Akebia Caulis and half a liang of Pyritum (used raw). These three ingredients are crushed and sieved into a powder. Each dose consists of two qian, taken with warm wine, without restriction on timing.
The *Waitai Miyao* cites the *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*: To treat ants entering the ear, calcine Pangolin Scales into powder, mix with water, and instill into the ear; the ants will immediately exit. The *Qianjin Yifang*: For treating ant-like fistulas in the ear, take fourteen pieces of Pangolin Scales, grind into powder, and mix with lard for topical application. The *Jianyao Jizhong Fang*: For postpartum blood qi rushing upward to the heart causing syncope, take one liang of Pangolin Scales, soak in urine from an uncircumcised boy overnight, remove, and slowly roast until yellow. Grind into powder. Each dose is one qian, mixed with a little dog gallbladder, and taken with hot wine, administered as needed.
The *Yanyi* states: Pangolin Scales come from animals that burrow in mountains and can also swim. Calcine one liang preserving its properties, combine with three kernels of Nutmeg, grind together into powder, and take two qian mixed with rice water to treat qi-type hemorrhoids with pus and blood. In severe cases, add one liang of Rheum Radix et Rhizoma (or similar bark/root depending on context, here likely referring to astringent herbs like Pomegranate Rind or similar, but strictly translating text: "Pi"), calcined and added. Stop medication once the illness is cured; there is no need to finish the entire dose.
