(28 Species of Livestock)
(Listed as Lower Grade in *Shennong Bencao Jing*)
[Names] Zhu (Pig, *Benjing*), Tun (Piglet, same source), Jia (male pig, pronunciation jia), Zhi (pig, general term, pronunciation zhi), Ba (female pig, pronunciation fen).
Li Shizhen states: According to Xu Shen's *Shuowen Jiezi*, the character "shi" (pig) depicts the shape of hairy feet followed by a tail. Lin Shi's *Xiaoshuo* states: Pigs eat uncleanly, hence called "shi". In the Eight Trigrams, "Kan" represents the pig, as it is an aquatic animal with a nature that tends downward and prefers filth. A male is called "Jia" or "Ya"; a female is called "Zhi", "Ba" (pronunciation ba), or "Zi" (pronunciation lou). A castrated male is called "Ling". A pig with white hooves is called "Xing". A pig five chi tall is called "Fen" (pronunciation e). The offspring of a pig is called "Zhu", "Tun", or "Hai" (pronunciation hu). One-year-old is called "Te", two-year-old "Shi", three-year-old "Fen", and the youngest "Me". Three months old is called "Hai", six months "Fen". He Chengtian's *Zuanwen* states: In Liangzhou...
Su Song states: According to research: Yang Xiong's *Fangyan* says: Between Yan and Chaoxian, pigs are called "Jia"; east and west of the Pass, they are called "Zhi", or "Shi"; in Southern Chu, they are called "Ba"; between Wu and Yangzhou, they are called "Zhu Zi". In reality, they are all one species. *Book of Rites* calls them "Gang Lie" (stiff bristles); Cui Bao's *Gujin Zhu* calls them "Can Jun" (Staff Officer).
[Collection and Explanation] Su Song states: Generally, pig bones are fine, sinews few, and fat abundant; large ones weigh over one hundred jin. They require little food, so people raise them, and they reproduce easily. Li Shizhen states: Pigs are raised everywhere but vary by region. Those from Qing, Yan, Xu, Huai have large ears; those from Yan, Ji have thick skin; those from Liang, Yong have short legs; those from Liaodong have white heads; those from Yuzhou have... short; those from Jiangnan have small ears (called Jiang Zhu); those from Lingnan are white and extremely fat. Pigs gestate for four months. Among livestock, they belong to Water; among trigrams, to Kan; among avian stars, they correspond to the Room Mansion.
Pork
[Flavor and Properties] Sour, cold, non-toxic. General pork: Bitter, slightly cold, slightly toxic.
Jiang pork: Sour, neutral, slightly toxic. Tun meat: Pungent, neutral, slightly toxic.
*Bieming Lu* states: Pork treats mania. Generally, pork can block blood vessels, weaken sinews and bones, and cause muscle deficiency; it should not be eaten for long periods, especially by patients with knife wounds.
Sun Simiao states: Long-term consumption of pork reduces sperm production and triggers old diseases. Long-term consumption of tun meat causes widespread muscle pain and fatigue. Meng Shen states: Eating too much Jiang pork makes the body heavy; making jerky reduces the fishy smell.
Chen Cangqi states: Long-term consumption inhibits medicinal efficacy and induces wind diseases. For typhoid, malaria, dysentery, phlegm retention, stubborn diseases, hemorrhoids, and fistulas, eating pork will certainly cause recurrence.
Li Shizhen states: Northern pigs have a light flavor, and their broth is clear; southern pigs have a strong flavor, and their broth is thick, with greater toxicity. For medicinal use, pure black pigs are required. White pigs, spotted pigs, castrated pigs, sows, sick pigs; yellow-fat pigs, rice-meat pigs are all inedible. Yellow-fat pigs yield yellow broth; rice-meat pigs contain rice-like grains. *Shuowen Jiezi* says "pigs feeding under stars produce rice," and *Rites of Zhou* says "blind pigs with intersecting eyelashes are star pigs," both referring to this. Do not consume with Wumei (Mume Fructus), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Huhuanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma - specific type) (causes diarrhea) and Can'er (Xanthii Fructus) (induces wind). Consuming with fresh ginger generates facial carbuncles and wind; consuming with buckwheat causes hair loss and wind disease; consuming with Malva verticillata causes qi deficiency; consuming with Baihua Cai and Wuzhuyu induces hemorrhoids; consuming with Coriandrum sativum causes umbilical ulceration; consuming with beef causes parasites; consuming with sheep liver, eggs, crucian carp, and fermented soybean blocks qi; consuming with turtle and softshell turtle meat harms the body. When boiling pork, adding Gleditsiae Spina, Morus Alba Cortex, Galangal, and beeswax prevents wind generation; adding old bamboo slats makes it cook faster.
[Indications] Treats persistent mania (*Bieming Lu*). Suppresses Danshi (mineral drug) toxicity, resolves heat toxins, tonifies kidney qi exhaustion (*Qianjin Fang*). Treats mercury poisoning and miasma from entering earth pits (*Rihua*).
[Elucidation] Li Shizhen states: According to Qian Yi's treatment of pediatric malnutrition using Moschus Pills, pig bile is used to form pills, taken with猪肝汤 (pig liver soup). For malnutrition with thirst, pork soup or...
Tao Hongjing states: Pigs have many uses, but meat should not be eaten in excess as it causes sudden obesity due to muscle weakness.
Zhu Zhenheng states: Pork tonifies qi; the common belief that it tonifies yin is wrong; it actually tonifies yang. Modern deficiency cases lie in yin, not yang. Using meat to tonify yin is like using fire to aid water. Meat enters the stomach and generates damp-heat; heat produces phlegm; phlegm obstructs descending qi, causing various symptoms. The proverb says: Pork without ginger causes severe wind; middle-aged people with declining qi and blood develop dark faces.
Han Zhishe states: While most meats have tonic properties, pork has none; this is a misconception born of habit.
[Attached Formulas] 5 old, 15 new.
Anorectic Dysentery: Roasted bacon, cooked thoroughly and eaten, is excellent. (Li Lou *Qifang*)
Severe Pediatric Intestinal Dysentery with Anorexia and Closed Eyes: 1 liang of lean pork, thinly sliced and roasted fragrant, spread with half a qian of Nifen (calomel), let the child eat, or place near the nose for the scent to stimulate appetite naturally. (*Huoyou Kouyi*)
Upper Qi Cough, Fullness, and Asthma: Cut pork into pieces, fry in lard, and eat. (*Xinjing*)
Edema, Distension, Anorexia, and Chest Oppression: Use one pair of pork loin, cut raw, eat with garlic and Scallion Bulb. (*Xinjing*)

Traumatic Wind Swelling: Freshly slaughtered pork, sliced while hot, applied to the affected area. Change three slices consecutively; swelling disappears immediately. (*Jianbian*)
White Tiger Wind Disease: Use three strings of pork, mix with one he of hemp seeds and half a zhan of wine, hold in mouth. Tear meat and apply to the diseased area, chant: "Xiangzhou Zhang Ruyi, Zhang Dexing, you are the master of White Tiger, come out quickly."

Trauma with Anorexia: After blunt trauma, if no food/water is taken for 3-5 days: Use two da qian of raw pork, pound into paste, wash with warm water to remove blood, pound again. Mix with Yin-Yang Soup. Insert half a qian using a chicken feather into the throat, then pour down Yin-Yang Soup. The "food worms" smell the aroma, break up blood stasis, and ascend, naturally resolving chest congestion. This is because injured blood coagulates in the heart, worms feed on blood and become full, preventing other worms from probing. This is called the "Deception Unblocking" method. (Shao Shi)

[Flavor and Properties] Toxic. Li Shizhen states: According to *Shengsheng Bian*, pork toxicity is concentrated in the head, so when ill...
[Indications] Treats chills, fever, five types of strangury, and ghost toxins (*Qianjin Fang*). Boiled with five flavors, it tonifies deficiency and fatigue, removes fright/epilepsy/five hemorrhoids, expels Danshi, but also induces wind (*Shiliao*).
Cured Pig Head: Burned to ash, treats Fish Umbilicus Ulcer.
[Elucidation] Li Shizhen states: According to *Mingyi Lu*: Scholar Ren Dao suffered from black swollen ulcers, narrow and long. Physician Wang Tong from the North diagnosed Fish Umbilicus Ulcer, caused by wind toxin accumulation, qi/blood stagnation, and accidental ingestion of human sweat. Treated with Yiyi San, changed daily until healed. Ren begged for the formula. Wang said: Only Xue Xuan (Snow Aconite) is needed. Ren searched everywhere in vain. Famous physician Hao Yun said: *Shenghui Fang* treats this with cured pig head burned to ash, mixed with egg white. Also, *Tuzan* states: On Wuchen day in May, sacrifice pig head to stove god for wishes; hang cured pig ear on beam for abundance; these are apotropaic rituals.
Neck Meat
Common name: Slot head meat. Fatty and crisp, induces wind.
[Indications] Alcohol accumulation, yellow face, abdominal distension. Cut one liang into paste, mix with one qian of Kansui powder, form pills, wrap in paper, roast until fragrant, eat with wine. Should expel "wine bag" substance. (Li Shizhen, from *Puji Fang*).

For retained placenta, take large amounts with wine, good (Xu Zhicai). Pig Lard: Generates hair, beautifies face (*Bieming Lu*).
[Attached Formulas] 8 old, 25 new.
