Taste salty, nature cold. Primarily treats cold and heat sensations in the heart and abdomen (manifesting as shivering discomfort). Eliminates blood stasis accumulations and zheng jia masses (abdominal lump diseases). Breaks down hard accumulations. Promotes the discharge of menstrual blood obstruction. Highly beneficial for fertility. Also known as Di Bie. Grows in rivers and marshes.
It breeds in the damp crevices of walls. It harbors filth and mud. Like a winnowing basket, it扬起 and shakes. It moves slowly like a lame turtle. Carrying children on its back to play. It wanders in streets and soil, distinguishing between male and female. Like moths around a lamp, males and females accompany each other. Regardless of beauty or ugliness, they please one another.
Famous physicians state: It grows in sandy areas, as well as under house walls and in damp places within the soil. The *Shiyi Ji* (Records of Lost Antiquities) records: Lying in filth and mud, yet remaining as clean as if newly washed. Kou Zongshi states: Also known as Boji Chong (Winnowing Basket Insect). The *Classic of Poetry* says: "In the south there is the Winnowing Basket constellation, but it cannot be used to winnow grain." Tao Hongjing states: Its shape is flat like a turtle, hence named Tu Bie (Earth Turtle). The *Yu Pian* explains: Panshan refers to the manner of rotating while walking. The *Xunzi* states: A lame turtle can travel a thousand li. Su Gong states: It has no shell but has scales. Children often catch it to carry objects as play. The *Pi Ya* records: On days corresponding to Shen, it crosses the street, hence named Guo Jie (Street Crossing). Cao Zhi's fu mentions: Regions and soils are distinguished. Li Shizhen states: It pairs with lamp moths as male and female. Su Shi's poem says: Beauty and ugliness reside in you; how could I flatter you?
Taste salty, nature neutral. Primarily treats blurred vision, restoring clarity. At night, vision possesses intense light. Long-term consumption brings joy and happiness. Enhances beauty and eliminates worry. Also known as Bian Fu (Bat). Grows in mountain valleys.
It is consumed by immortals as Rou Zhi (Meat Mushroom). Drinking milk produces floating silver luster. Flying upside down with head hanging low. Consuming qi to regulate the spirit. Caves exhibit characteristics of both rats and birds. Observing changes between night and morning. Casually calculating the sexagenary cycle (Jiazi). Also observing the custom of hiding on Gengshen days.
Su Gong states: Immortal texts list it as Rou Zhi. The *Shuyi Ji* (Records of Strange Tales) records: After a thousand years, the body turns white as silver. Mountain caves contain milk grottos; drinking the juice grants longevity. The *Cantong Qi* mentions: Collecting the supreme treasure of floating silver from the West. The *Shiyi Ji* records: Bats on Daiyu Mountain include those that fly upside down with their bellies facing heaven, and those whose heads hang low due to heaviness. Kou Zongshi states: These are adept at consuming qi and do not eat during winter. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang wrote in poetry: Ginseng and cassia aim to regulate the spirit. The *Zhengfa Nian Jing* (Sutra of Righteous Law Recollection) states: Like a bat, entering the cave becomes a rat, exiting the cave becomes a bird. The *Wutai Shi An* (Cases of the Crow Terrace) records: Bats regard sunset as dawn and sunrise as dusk. Tao Qian's poem says: Lingering, forgetting night and morning. The *Duyi Zhi* (Records of Unique Oddities) states: During Emperor Xuanzong's reign, there was Zhang Guolao, whose age was unknown. Daoist Ye Jingneng stated: This was a transformation of a white bat spirit from the beginning of chaos. Natural theory posits: Bats hide on Gengshen nights. Xu Hun's poem says: As one ages, laboriously calculating the Jiazi is futile; deep at night, who shares the vigil of Gengshen?
