【释名】犬（《说文》）、地羊。
时珍曰∶狗，叩也。吠声有节，如叩物也。或云为物苟且，故谓之狗，韩非云“蝇营狗
苟”是矣。卷尾有悬蹄者为犬，犬字象形，故孔子曰∶视犬字如画狗。齐人名地羊。俗又讳
之以龙，称狗有乌龙、白龙之号。许氏《说文》云∶多毛曰 ，长喙曰猃（音敛），短喙曰
（音歇），去势曰猗，高四尺曰 ，狂犬曰 （音折）。生一子曰 曰
狮，三子曰 。
【集解】时珍曰∶狗类甚多，其用有三∶田犬长喙善猎，吠犬短喙善守，食犬体肥供馔。
凡本草所用，皆食犬也。犬以三月而生，在畜属木，在卦属艮，在禽应娄星。豺见之跪，虎
食之醉，犬食番木鳖则死，物性制伏如此。又辽东有鹰背狗，乃鹰产三卵，一鹰一雕一犬也。
以禽乳兽，古所未闻。详见雕条。又有老木之精，状如黑狗而无尾，名曰彭侯，可以烹食。
无情化有情，精灵之变也。

令子无声。热病后食之，杀人。服食人忌食。九月勿食犬，伤神。瘦犬有病， 犬发狂，自

【发明】弘景曰∶白狗、乌狗入药用。黄狗肉大补虚劳，牡者尤胜。
大明曰∶黄犬大补益人，余色微补。古言薯蓣凉而能补，犬肉暖而不补。虽有此言，服
终有益。但因食秽，不食者众。
震亨曰∶世言犬能治劳损阳虚之疾，然人病多是阴虚。若阳果虚，其死甚易，亦安能措
手哉？
时珍曰∶脾胃属土，喜暖恶寒。犬性温暖，能治脾胃虚寒之疾。脾胃温和，而腰肾受荫
矣。若素常气壮多火之人，则宜忌之。丹溪独指阴虚立
惫诸虚证，有黄犬肉丸，药多不载。

白一
[Indications] Resolves various toxic insect bites and ghostly nightmares. Drink one bowl, do not let the patient know. Also used to wash various sores, with good effect (Li Shizhen).
Grass from pigsty
[Indications] Treats infant night crying; secretly place under the mattress, do not let the mother know (Ri Hua Ben Cao).
Pig-binding rope
[Indications] Treats infant fright crying, irregular onset and cessation; use rope made in the twelfth lunar month, burn to ash, take a small amount with water (Chen Cangqi).
(From *Shennong Bencao Jing*, Middle Grade)
[Names] Canis familiaris (*Shuowen Jiezi*); Earth Sheep.
Li Shizhen says: "Gou" (dog) relates to "kou" (knock). The barking sound has rhythm, like knocking on an object. Some say it is called dog because the animal acts recklessly, as Han Feizi said, "Flies swarm and dogs act recklessly." Those with curled tails and supernumerary hooves are called "quan"; the character "quan" is pictographic, hence Confucius said, "Looking at the character 'quan' is like seeing a drawing of a dog." People in Qi call it Earth Sheep. Folklore avoids calling it dragon directly, giving names like Black Dragon or White Dragon. Xu Shen's *Shuowen Jiezi* states: Hairy ones are [character]; long-snouted ones are Xian (pronounced lian); short-snouted ones are [character] (pronounced xie); neutered ones are Yi; four chi high are [character]; mad dogs are Zhe (pronounced zhe). One offspring is called Shi; three offspring are [character].
[Collection and Explanation] Li Shizhen says: There are many types of dogs, with three main uses: Field dogs have long snouts and are good for hunting; Watchdogs have short snouts and are good for guarding; Food dogs are fat and used for consumption. All dogs used in materia medica are food dogs. Dogs give birth in the third month; among animals they belong to Wood; among trigrams they belong to Gen; among stars they correspond to Lou. Jackals kneel when they see them; tigers become drunk after eating them; dogs die after eating *Aconitum ferox* seeds. Such is the mutual restraint of natures. There is also an Eagle-Back Dog in Liaodong, born from three eagle eggs hatching one eagle, one hawk, and one dog. Birds nursing mammals was unheard of in ancient times. See the entry for Hawk. There is also an old tree spirit, shaped like a black dog without a tail, named Peng Hou, which can be cooked and eaten. This is the transformation of the lifeless into the living, a change of spirits.
[Properties and Flavors] Salty, sour, warm, non-toxic. Incompatible with *Phytolaccae Radix* (Shanglu); fears *Prunus armeniaca* seed (Xingren). Eating with garlic damages the body. Eating with water caltrop causes epilepsy.
Sun Simiao says: Eating white dog meat with Hai fish will surely cause malignant diseases.
Li Shizhen says: [Character], a small fish. Daoists consider the dog an abomination of the earth and do not eat it. Large dogs should not be roasted, as this causes Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst syndrome). Pregnant women who eat it may bear silent infants. Those recovering from febrile diseases who eat it may die. Those practicing dietary regimens should avoid it. Do not eat dog meat in the ninth month, as it harms the spirit. Sick thin dogs, rabid dogs, self-dead dogs (toxic), dogs with supernumerary hooves (harmful), dogs with red thighs and irritability (smelly), and dogs with red eyes should all be avoided.
[Indications] Calms the five viscera, supplements severe injuries, lightens the body, and benefits qi (*Mingyi Bielu*). Beneficial to the Kidney (Sun Simiao). Supplements stomach qi, strengthens the sexual function, warms the waist and knees, and boosts physical strength (*Ri Hua Ben Cao*). Supplements five labors and seven injuries, benefits yang functions, nourishes blood vessels, thickens the intestines and stomach, solidifies the lower jiao, fills essence and marrow. Boil harmoniously with five flavors and eat on an empty stomach. If blood is removed from dog meat before cooking, its efficacy is reduced and it does not benefit people (Meng Shen).
[Innovation and Analysis] Tao Hongjing says: White and black dogs are used in medicine. Yellow dog meat greatly supplements deficiency and exhaustion, especially males.
Su Song (Da Ming) says: Yellow dogs greatly benefit humans; other colors have slight benefits. Ancient texts say *Dioscorea* is cool but nourishing, while dog meat is warm but not nourishing. Although this saying exists, taking it is ultimately beneficial. However, due to uncleanliness, many do not eat it.
Zhu Zhenheng says: The world says dogs can treat deficiency-cold diseases caused by labor and damage, but most human illnesses are yin deficiency. If yang were truly deficient, death would be imminent, making treatment difficult.
Li Shizhen says: The Spleen and Stomach belong to Earth, preferring warmth and disliking cold. Dog nature is warm, capable of treating Spleen-Stomach deficiency-cold. When the Spleen-Stomach is mild and warm, the waist and Kidneys receive its influence. Those with robust qi and excessive fire should avoid it. Danxi focused solely on yin deficiency causing various weakness syndromes; there is a Yellow Dog Meat Pill, but the ingredients are mostly not recorded.
[Attached Prescriptions] Three old, six new.
Wuxu Wine: Greatly supplements primordial qi. Use one yellow dog meat, boil for one shichen (2 hours), pound into paste, mix with juice and three dou of glutinous rice, add yeast as usual for brewing wine. When ready, drink on an empty stomach every morning. (*Yang Lao Fang*)
Wuxu Pill: Treats men and women with all kinds of deficiency insufficiency, bone-steaming tidal fever, etc. Use one yellow puppy, remove skin, hair, intestines, and stomach along with external kidneys. Place in a clay pot with 8 fen of wine/vinegar and 2 sheng of water, add 1 jin of *Lycii Cortex* (Digupi), 4 liang each of *Peucedani Radix* (Qianhu), *Cynomorii Herba* (Roucongrou). Boil for one day. Remove herbs, boil again for one night. Remove bones, boil meat until paste-like, grind and filter.

[Indications] White dog blood: Treats epilepsy attacks. Black dog blood: Treats dystocia with transverse presentation, blood rushing to the heart; mix with wine and take (*Mingyi Bielu*). Nourishes and calms the five viscera (*Ri Hua Ben Cao*). Drink hot to treat deficiency-wasting hematemesis; resolves *Gelsemium* toxicity. Apply to eyes to treat varicella entering the eye. Also treats mania and hallucinations from cold-heat diseases, and Guiji disease; wards off evil spirits (Li Shizhen).
[Innovation and Analysis] Li Shizhen says: Diviners consider the dog an earth abomination, capable of exorcising all evil spirits and sorcery. According to *Records of the Grand Historian*: In Qin times, dogs were killed and dismembered at the four gates to ward off disasters. *Fengsu Tongyi* says people now kill white dogs, apply blood to doors to ward off misfortune; thus this has existed since ancient times. A woman in Langya had a sore on her right thigh, itchy but painless, recurring after healing. Hua Tuo took a rice-sugar-colored dog, tied it to a horse, rode fifty li, then decapitated it and applied the blood to the itchy area. Soon a snake moved under the skin, drawn out with a hook, about three chi long; healed in seven days. This is a strange case; the dog's bloody smell draws out the worm.
[Attached Prescriptions] Three old, three new.
Febrile Disease Mania: After 6-7 days of Shanghan, Shiqi, or Wenbing, extreme heat causes mania, seeing ghosts, wanting to run. Take white dog, break back to get blood, spread hot on chest, remove when cold. This can save dying patients. Any pure color dog works if white is unavailable. (*Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang*)

[Indications] Postpartum kidney labor resembling malaria. Women with hot constitutions use pork kidney; those with cold constitutions use dog kidney (Chen Cangqi).
Liver
Li Shizhen says: According to Shen Zhou's *Zaji*: Dog liver color resembles soil, and so does the smell. Thus, walking on soil at night activates liver qi, likely due to resonance. Zhang Hua's *Wulei Zhi* says using dog liver to mud a stove makes the wife's family filial. This matches the theory that dog liver corresponds to Earth.
[Indications] Pound liver with heart, apply to dog bites. Treats Hong Kong foot attacking the heart; eat raw with ginger and vinegar to induce purging. Do not use if purging occurs first (Chen Cangqi).
[Attached Prescriptions] One old, one new.
