[Ma Lu]
Taste: Acrid (Xin). Nature: Warm. Toxicity: Toxic.
Indications: Mainly treats large, hard accumulations in the abdomen; breaks up accumulations, polyps, malignant sores, and white tinea capitis (Bai Tu). Treats alternating chills and fever, Qi stagnation with knotting, and fullness under the hypochondrium.
Also known as Bai Zu (Hundred Feet), also known as Ma Zhou. Grows in the valleys of Xuan Tu Commandery.
Li Yun states that this insect is five or six inches long, resembling a large cricket; it climbs trees to sing in summer and hibernates in winter. People today call it Fei Chong (Flying Insect), but it is likely not Ma Lu. Currently, there is a slender yellow insect resembling a centipede but longer, commonly called Tu Chong (Earthworm/Soil Insect); chickens become intoxicated or even die after eating it. The book says, "The insect with a hundred feet does not stiffen upon death." This insect has many legs; if broken inch by inch, each segment can crawl inch by inch, appearing similar. Since medical practitioners no longer use it and merchants do not value it, it is unclear which one is indeed correct. (Da Guan Vol. 22, Zheng He p. 453)
[Que Weng]
Taste: Acrid (Xin). Nature: Neutral. Toxicity: Non-toxic.
Indications: Mainly treats chronic deafness, cough with rebellious Qi, toxic vapors, thorns/stings, and sweating. Treats nasal obstruction (Bi Zhi). Its earthen nest mainly treats carbuncles and head wind (Feng Tou).
Also known as Tu Feng (Earth Bee). Grows in the valleys of Xiong Er Mountain and [missing character], or between human houses.
There are many such insects. Although named Tu Feng, they do not dig holes in the earth for nests but rather build houses using mud. Currently, there is a black variety with a very thin waist, carrying mud to build nests near human rooms and objects, resembling parallel bamboo tubes. They lay eggs like millet grains in the center, then capture more than ten green spiders from grass to fill the nest, sealing the opening to serve as food for their offspring. Another variety enters reed bamboo tubes, also capturing green insects from grass, known as Guo Luo. Poets say, "Ming Ling has offspring, Guo Luo carries them." This implies that the thin-waisted insect has no females and captures green insects, instructing/blessing them to transform into its own offspring, which is erroneous. The poet failed to investigate in detail, not knowing why the Sage followed such biased and incorrect beliefs. Sages have omissions, and most cases are similar. (Da Guan Vol. 22, Zheng He p. 446)
[Hao Chong]
Taste: Sweet (Gan). Nature: Neutral. Toxicity: Non-toxic.
Indications: Mainly treats pediatric convulsions and epilepsy, alternating chills and fever, Qi stagnation, Gu poison, and Gui Zhu (ghostly transmission diseases). Also known as Zao She. Grows in Hanzhong; collected and steamed. It lives on tree branches, forming its nest. Collected in August.
This is Hao Chong. This insect is mostly found on pomegranate trees, called Hao Chong by the world, and its back hairs can sting humans. It lays eggs shaped like chicken eggs, as large as Croton seeds (Ba Dou). Current medical practitioners do not use this. Hao, alternatively written as [character]. (Da Guan Vol. 22, Zheng He p. 450)
