味甘，无毒。食肉，令人勇健。出上党。魏武帝赋云∶ 鸡，猛气，其斗终无负，期
于必死。今人以歇（曷渴二音）为冠，像此也。
味甘，平，无毒。主野鸡病，杀虫。煮炙食之。生江东山林间，如小鸡，无尾。
主虫咬，炙食之。亦主小儿久不语。又取其窠及粪，涂虫咬处。今之莺，一名反舌
也。
味甘，平，无毒。主蚁 恶疮。五味淹炙食之，极美。如鸠，作绿褐色，声如小儿
吹竽。
主火灾。《天竺法真登罗山疏》云∶《山海经》曰， 雉养之，穣火灾，如雉五色。
无毒。生吞之，令人见诸魅。或以目睛研注目中，夜见鬼也。肉及卵食之，令人昏志
。毛把之，亦然，未必昏，为其臭膻。
主耳聋，滴耳中。又主刀剑令不锈，以膏涂之。水鸟也，如鸠，
鸭脚连尾，不能陆行，常在水中，人至即沉，或击之便起。《尔雅》注云∶膏，主堪莹剑。
《续英华诗》云；马衔苜蓿叶，剑莹 膏，是也。
令人夫妻相爱。五月五日收带之各一，男左女右。云置水中，自能相随。
又江东呼为郭公，北人云∶拨谷一名获谷，似鹞，长尾。《尔雅》云∶ ，鸠。注云∶
今之
布谷也，牝牡飞鸣，以翼相拂。《礼记》云∶鸣鸠拂其羽。郑注云∶飞且翼相击。
主作扇，蚊即去矣。鸟大如鸡，黑色。生南方∶池泽茹 中。其声如人呕吐，每
口中吐出蚊一、二升。《尔雅》云∶ ，蚊母。注云∶常说常吐蚊，蚊虽是恶水中虫羽化所
生
，然亦有蚊母吐之。犹如塞北有蚊母草，岭南有虻母草，江东有蚊母鸟，此三物异类而同功
也。
【蚊母鸟翅】
味甘，无毒。食用其肉，能使人变得勇敢强健。产于上党地区。魏武帝（曹操）的赋中写道：“鸡，具有猛烈的勇气，它争斗到底从不认输，立志要拼到死。”现在的人用歇（读音同“曷”、“渴”）作为冠饰，就是模仿这种形态。
【野鸡/山鸡相关描述】
味甘，性平，无毒。主治野鸡病，能杀虫。煮熟或烤熟后食用。生长在江东的山林间，外形像小鸡，没有尾巴。
【莺/反舌相关描述】
主治虫咬伤，烤熟后食用。也主治小儿长期不说话。另外取它的巢穴和粪便，涂抹在虫咬处。现在的莺，又名反舌。
【绿褐色鸟类相关描述】
味甘，性平，无毒。主治蚁类引起的恶疮。用五味调料腌制并烤熟后食用，味道极佳。外形像斑鸠，羽毛呈绿褐色，叫声像小孩吹竽。
【雉相关描述】
主治火灾。《天竺法真登罗山疏》中说：《山海经》记载，饲养雉可以消除火灾，就像五彩的雉一样。
【魅/鬼相关描述】
无毒。生吞食它，能让人看见各种鬼怪。或者将它的眼睛研磨后滴入眼中，可以在夜间看见鬼魂。吃它的肉和蛋，会使人神志昏乱。用它的毛擦拭身体，也是如此，未必一定导致昏乱，是因为它的气味腥膻。
【水鸟相关描述】
主治耳聋，将油滴入耳中。又主治刀剑不生锈，用它的膏涂抹刀剑。这是一种水鸟，外形像斑鸠，脚掌像鸭子连着尾巴，不能在陆地上行走，常在水中活动，人靠近它就会沉下去，有时敲击它才会浮起。《尔雅》注中说：它的膏，主要用来打磨抛光剑刃。《续英华诗》说：“马衔着苜蓿叶，剑用[该鸟]膏打磨”，指的就是这种情况。
【布谷鸟相关描述】
能促使夫妻相爱。五月五日收集它的带子各一条，男子系在左边，女子系在右边。据说放在水中，它们自然会相互跟随。另外，江东地区称它为郭公，北方人称它为拨谷，又名获谷，外形像鹞鹰，尾巴长。《尔雅》说：它是鸠的一种。注解说：就是现在的布谷鸟，雌雄一起飞翔鸣叫，翅膀互相拍打。《礼记》说：鸣鸠拍打它们的羽毛。郑玄注解说：一边飞一边用翅膀互相击打。
【蚊母鸟相关描述】
用它制作扇子，蚊子就会离开。鸟的大小像鸡，黑色。生长在南方池塘沼泽的芦苇丛中。它的叫声像人呕吐，每口中吐出一两升蚊子。《尔雅》说：它是蚊母。注解说：常说它经常吐出蚊子，蚊子虽然是恶劣水域中昆虫羽化所生，但也有说是蚊母鸟吐出来的。这就像塞北有蚊母草，岭南有虻母草，江东有蚊母鸟，这三种不同类别的事物功效相同。
[Wenmu Bird Wing]
Taste: Sweet. Nature: Non-toxic. Consuming its meat makes one courageous and robust. Originates from Shangdang. The Fu (Rhapsody) of Emperor Wu of Wei states: "The chicken possesses fierce spirit; in combat, it never yields, striving until death." Currently, people use 'Xie' (pronounced as 'He' or 'Ke') as a crown ornament, imitating this form.
[Wild Pheasant Description]
Taste: Sweet. Nature: Neutral. Non-toxic. Mainly treats wild pheasant disease and kills parasites. Boiled or roasted for consumption. Grows in the mountain forests of Jiangdong; resembles a young chicken, without a tail.
[Ying/Fanshe Description]
Mainly treats insect bites; roast and consume. Also treats children suffering from prolonged mutism. Additionally, take its nest and feces to apply on insect bite sites. The current Ying is also known as Fanshe (Thrush).
[Greenish-Brown Bird Description]
Taste: Sweet. Nature: Neutral. Non-toxic. Mainly treats severe sores caused by ants. Marinated with five flavors and roasted for consumption; extremely delicious. Resembles a turtledove, with greenish-brown plumage; its sound resembles a child blowing a sheng (mouth organ).
[Pheasant Description]
Mainly treats fire disasters. The *Shu* (Commentary) of Tianzhu Fazhen Dengluo Mountain states: The *Classic of Mountains and Seas* records that raising pheasants can mitigate fire disasters, similar to the five-colored pheasant.
[Charm/Ghost Description]
Non-toxic. Swallowing it raw allows one to see various spirits. Alternatively, grinding its eyeballs and dripping them into the eyes enables seeing ghosts at night. Eating its meat and eggs causes mental confusion. Wiping the body with its feathers has a similar effect, though not necessarily causing confusion, due to its fishy and mutton-like odor.
[Waterbird Description]
Mainly treats deafness; drip oil into the ear. Also prevents swords and knives from rusting; apply its fat to the blades. This is a waterbird, resembling a turtledove, with webbed feet like a duck connected to the tail, unable to walk on land, staying in water; it sinks when humans approach and may rise only when struck. The commentary of *Erya* states: Its fat is mainly used for polishing swords. The poem *Xu Yinghua* says: "Horses hold millet leaves in their mouths, swords are polished with [this bird's] fat," referring to this.
[Cuckoo Description]
Promotes love between husband and wife. Collect one strap on the fifth day of the fifth month; men wear it on the left, women on the right. It is said that placing them in water allows them to follow each other naturally. Additionally, Jiangdong calls it Guogong; northerners call it Bogu, also known as Huogu. It resembles a harrier, with a long tail. *Erya* states: It is a type of dove. The commentary notes: It is the current cuckoo; male and female fly and sing together, brushing wings against each other. *Book of Rites* states: The flying dove brushes its feathers. Zheng Xuan’s commentary notes: Flying while striking wings against each other.
[Wenmu Bird Description]
Used to make fans, which repel mosquitoes. The bird is chicken-sized, black. Grows in southern marshes and reeds. Its sound resembles human vomiting, expelling one or two sheng of mosquitoes from its mouth each time. *Erya* states: It is the Wenmu. The commentary notes: It is often said that it constantly vomits mosquitoes. Although mosquitoes are born from the metamorphosis of insects in foul waters, some say they are expelled by the Wenmu bird. This is akin to the Wenmu grass in northern regions, the Mengmu grass in Lingnan, and the Wenmu bird in Jiangdong; these three different entities share the same function.
