(Recorded in the Lower Category of *Bie Lu*)
[Names] Sparrow Hawk (*Mao Shi Zheng Yi*), Kite (*Shi Jing*), Yao (pronounced "yin"), Sun (original character: 𪄿, pronounced "sun"), Ye.
Li Shizhen stated: The seal script characters for Chi and Yuan are pictographic. Another view holds that "Chi" refers to its sound; "Yuan" refers to seizing objects as swiftly as shooting an arrow. "Sun" refers to striking targets with precision. "Ye" refers to keen vision seeing from afar. *Mao Shi Zheng Yi* states: There are several types of Sun, collectively called Ye. The Sparrow Hawk transforms into the Cuckoo in spring. *Erya* calls it Mao Chi. People in Qi call it Ji Zheng, or Ti Jian. *Erya* says: "𪄿" is a bird that carries sparrows on its back. Buddhist scriptures call it Aliye.
[Collected Explanations] Tao Hongjing said: Chi is what is commonly called Lao Chi. There are also Diao and E, which resemble Chi but are larger.
Li Shizhen said: Chi resembles a hawk but is slightly smaller, with a tail like a rudder, excelling at soaring high, specifically catching chickens and sparrows. There are several species within the Chi genus. According to *Qin Jing*: Those good at circling and striking are called E; those black with blue hues are called Diao; bone-colored ones are called Hu; bright ones are called Ye; those spreading wings are called [specific name]; those seizing are called [specific name]. It is also said: A Hu gives birth to three offspring, one of whom becomes a Chi. Hu is smaller than Chi but fiercer and more agile, capable of attacking turtledoves and pigeons; it is also named Yu Zi, or Long Tuo. [Specific bird] is green, spreads its wings rapidly against the wind to catch birds; when it cries, great winds arise; it is also called Chen Feng. [Another specific bird] is smaller than the previous one; its upper and lower parts also capture birds as if picking them up; it is also named Yu Zi. Furthermore, *Liji · Yueling* records: In the second month, Hawks transform into Doves; in the seventh month, Doves transform into Hawks. *Liezi* states: Ye transforms into [specific bird], [specific bird] into Cuckoo, and Cuckoo back into Ye. All refer to this group. Although Sun and Hu are fierce, they possess righteousness; thus, it is said that Hawks do not strike prey lying down, and Suns do not strike pregnant beasts. Hu warms itself by holding a dove until dawn before releasing it. These all demonstrate benevolence within killing.
Head of Chi
[Preparation] Tao Hongjing said: Both male and female can be used, but males are superior. They must be lightly roasted; those infested with worms should not be used. Ancient prescriptions for head and facial conditions include Chi Head Wine.
[Flavor and Nature] Salty, Neutral, Non-toxic. Li Shizhen said: According to Duan Chengshi, Empress Zhang of Emperor Suzong of Tang held power and often added Chi brain to wine, claiming it induced long-lasting drunkenness and forgetfulness. Thus, Chi Head does have slight toxicity.
[Indications] Tou Feng (Wind-headache), Xuan Yun (Dizziness), inversion/disorientation, Xian Ji (Epilepsy) (*Bie Lu*).
[Attached Prescriptions] One old prescription, one new prescription.
Epileptic convulsions: Three dried Chi heads, one jin of Qian Dan (Lead Oxide), ground into powder, formed into pills the size of Sophora seeds with honey. Take three pills with wine each time, three times a day. (*Qian Jin Fang*)
Whirlwind dizziness and fainting: Chi Head Pill. Use one Chi head (stir-fried until yellow), Zhen Wei Ru and Bai Zhu each one liang, Chuan Jiao half a liang (lightly stir-fried to remove moisture). Grind into powder, mix with honey, and form pills the size of Sophora seeds. Take twenty pills before meals with warm wine. (*Sheng Hui Fang*)
Meat
[Flavor and Nature] Missing.
[Indications] Consuming it treats epilepsy (Meng Shen). Consuming it causes chicken and quail flesh to accumulate/stagnate in the body (Li Shizhen).
Bone
[Indications] Persistent epistaxis (nosebleed). Take the large bones from the wing joints of an old Chi, lightly roast, grind into powder, and insufflate into the nostrils (Li Shizhen. From *Sheng Ji Zong Lu*).
