**Fuyi (Bat)**
The taste is salty, and the nature is Ping (Neutral). It primarily treats Mu Ming (dim vision), brightens the eyes, and enables clear vision with essential luster at night. Prolonged administration induces joy and happiness, improves complexion, and eliminates worry. It is also known as Bianfu (Bat). It grows in river valleys and mountains (formerly classified under the Avian section, now moved here).
Wu Pu states: Fuyi sometimes inhabits the spaces within human dwellings. After Lixia (Start of Summer), it is collected and dried in the shade. It treats Mu Ming (dim vision) and enables clear vision at night (cited from Yiwen Leiju).
Mingyi Bielu states: It grows on Mount Tai and in the spaces within human dwellings. It is collected after Lixia (Start of Summer) and dried in the shade.
Commentary: Shuowen Jiezi states: "Bian" refers to Bianfu (Bat); "Fu" refers to Bianfu, also known as Fuyi. Guangya states: Fuyi is Feishu (Flying Mouse) or Xianshu (Immortal Mouse). Erya states: Bianfu is Fuyi. Fangyan states: In regions east of Hangu Pass, Bianfu is called Fuyi, Feishu, Laoshu (Old Mouse), or Xianshu; in regions west of Hangu Pass, between Qin and Long, it is called Bianfu; in Northern Yan, it is called [missing character]. Li Dangzhi states: It is Tianshu (Heavenly Mouse).
Among the above insect and fish substances, there are seventeen varieties classified in the Middle Grade. The old classification had sixteen. Examination suggests that Fuyi from the Avian section should be included in this category.
**Meishi (Plum Fruit)**
The taste is sour, and the nature is Ping (Neutral). It primarily directs Qi downward, eliminates Heat, vexation, and fullness, calms the Heart, treats limb pain, Pianku Buren (hemiplegia with numbness/insensitivity), Si Ji (necrotic muscle tissue), removes blue-black moles, and treats E Ji (severe/malignant diseases). It grows in river valleys and mountains.
Wu Pu states: Meishi (recorded as "kernel" in Daguan Bencao) brightens the eyes, benefits Qi (vital energy) (cited from Taiping Yulan), and prevents hunger (Daguan Bencao citing Wushi Bencao).
Mingyi Bielu states: It grows in Hanzhong. It is collected in the fifth lunar month and dried over fire.
Commentary: Shuowen Jiezi states: "[Missing Character]" belongs to the category of dried plums, sometimes written as "[Missing Character]." "Mou" refers to sour fruit. "Mei" is used for "Nan." Erya states: Mei is Nan. Guo Pu states: It resembles apricot, and its fruit is sour; thus, "Mou" is used to annotate "Mei." Zhouli records: The Bian person offers food; the Bian vessel contains dried "[Missing Character]." Zheng Xuan states: Dried "[Missing Character]" is dried plum. There are Taozhu and Meizhu, which are their dried forms. Maoshi Shu states: Plums are sun-dried to make La (preserved meat/fruit), added to soups, and held in the mouth to fragrance the breath (cited from Daguan Bencao).
Among the above fruit substances, there is one variety classified in the Middle Grade. The old classification is the same.
