Taste is sweet, nature is neutral, non-toxic. Carp with eyes capable of blinking are toxic. Do not consume when taking *Asparagi Radix* (Tianmendong). Do not consume after recovery from epidemic febrile diseases (Tianxingbing).
[Invention] Fish swim upstream, flapping their fins and tails, expending the most effort, and their eyes do not close at night; therefore, Buddhist wooden statues mimic this form to warn against worldly drowsiness and laziness. Carp leap in rapid currents, so they are used to treat edema. Liu Hejian stated: Carp treats water retention, while *Hypophthalmichthys nobilis* promotes diuresis, due to the resonance of their qi. It is suitable for jaundice, Hong Kong foot (damp-heat swelling and pain in the feet), and pregnancy-related generalized edema. For hematochezia, boil with white beeswax. Consuming carp brain treats sudden deafness. Carp teeth treat lithuria (stone strangury). Carp gallbladder treats red, swollen, and painful eyes; extract juice for eye drops. Carp scales treat retained blood in postpartum women. Burned to ash, it treats hematemesis and metrorrhagia (profuse uterine bleeding); it is used in *Shihui San* (Ten Ashes Powder).
Originally named *Wanyu* (Grass Carp), "Yong" sounds like "Hun".
Taste is sweet, nature is warm, non-toxic.
[Invention] This fish is mostly raised in ponds feeding on grass, mixed with silver carp, hence named *Yongyu*. It exists in rivers and lakes and is a delicacy. Li Shizhen said it warms and harmonizes the stomach, referring to pond-raised fish. Li Tingfei said it can trigger various sores, referring to lake-caught fish; both views have merit. The gallbladder is bitter and cold, capable of extracting bamboo or wood splinters. If a splinter is stuck in the throat, dissolve two or three gallbladders in wine, drink warm, and induce vomiting to remove it.
The meat is sweet and neutral; the gallbladder is bitter and cold, non-toxic.
[Invention] The East corresponds to the color green, connects internally to the Liver, and opens into the eyes. Thus, the gallbladder has the function of treating foreign bodies in the eye (fish bone obstruction), and the meat nourishes the liver and eliminates water. Boiled with scallion whites, it treats Hong Kong foot pain and swelling, excessive ocular discharge, and improves night vision, as it feeds on snails and clams, which brighten the eyes. Dried black carp gallbladder, ground with water and applied, treats pharyngeal obstruction (Houbi) and hemorrhoids, with effects similar to Ursine Gallbladder (*Xiongdan*).
Originally named [Black Carp].
Taste is sweet, nature is warm, non-toxic.
[Invention] Pond fish are mostly non-toxic. Since this fish often consumes leftovers of other fish, although its toxicity is slight, there is a risk of aggravating damp-heat. There are two varieties: black-headed (larger head) and white-bellied (plump abdomen). Though considered inferior food, it warms the middle and benefits qi, similar to *Yongyu*.
