味甘，无毒。食肉，令人勇健。出上党。魏武帝赋云∶ 鸡，猛气，其斗终无负，期
于必死。今人以歇（曷渴二音）为冠，像此也。
味甘，平，无毒。主野鸡病，杀虫。煮炙食之。生江东山林间，如小鸡，无尾。
主虫咬，炙食之。亦主小儿久不语。又取其窠及粪，涂虫咬处。今之莺，一名反舌
也。
味甘，平，无毒。主蚁 恶疮。五味淹炙食之，极美。如鸠，作绿褐色，声如小儿
吹竽。
主火灾。《天竺法真登罗山疏》云∶《山海经》曰， 雉养之，穣火灾，如雉五色。
无毒。生吞之，令人见诸魅。或以目睛研注目中，夜见鬼也。肉及卵食之，令人昏志
。毛把之，亦然，未必昏，为其臭膻。
主耳聋，滴耳中。又主刀剑令不锈，以膏涂之。水鸟也，如鸠，
鸭脚连尾，不能陆行，常在水中，人至即沉，或击之便起。《尔雅》注云∶膏，主堪莹剑。
《续英华诗》云；马衔苜蓿叶，剑莹 膏，是也。
令人夫妻相爱。五月五日收带之各一，男左女右。云置水中，自能相随。
又江东呼为郭公，北人云∶拨谷一名获谷，似鹞，长尾。《尔雅》云∶ ，鸠。注云∶
今之
布谷也，牝牡飞鸣，以翼相拂。《礼记》云∶鸣鸠拂其羽。郑注云∶飞且翼相击。
主作扇，蚊即去矣。鸟大如鸡，黑色。生南方∶池泽茹 中。其声如人呕吐，每
口中吐出蚊一、二升。《尔雅》云∶ ，蚊母。注云∶常说常吐蚊，蚊虽是恶水中虫羽化所
生
，然亦有蚊母吐之。犹如塞北有蚊母草，岭南有虻母草，江东有蚊母鸟，此三物异类而同功
也。
[Wenmu Bird Wing]
Taste: Sweet. Nature: Non-toxic. Consuming its meat makes one courageous and robust. Originates from Shangdang. The Fu (Rhapsody) of Emperor Wu of Wei states: "The chicken possesses fierce spirit; in combat, it never yields, striving until death." Currently, people use 'Xie' (pronounced as 'He' or 'Ke') as a crown ornament, imitating this form.
[Wild Pheasant Description]
Taste: Sweet. Nature: Neutral. Non-toxic. Mainly treats wild pheasant disease and kills parasites. Boiled or roasted for consumption. Grows in the mountain forests of Jiangdong; resembles a young chicken, without a tail.
[Ying/Fanshe Description]
Mainly treats insect bites; roast and consume. Also treats children suffering from prolonged mutism. Additionally, take its nest and feces to apply on insect bite sites. The current Ying is also known as Fanshe (Thrush).
[Greenish-Brown Bird Description]
Taste: Sweet. Nature: Neutral. Non-toxic. Mainly treats severe sores caused by ants. Marinated with five flavors and roasted for consumption; extremely delicious. Resembles a turtledove, with greenish-brown plumage; its sound resembles a child blowing a sheng (mouth organ).
[Pheasant Description]
Mainly treats fire disasters. The *Shu* (Commentary) of Tianzhu Fazhen Dengluo Mountain states: The *Classic of Mountains and Seas* records that raising pheasants can mitigate fire disasters, similar to the five-colored pheasant.
[Charm/Ghost Description]
Non-toxic. Swallowing it raw allows one to see various spirits. Alternatively, grinding its eyeballs and dripping them into the eyes enables seeing ghosts at night. Eating its meat and eggs causes mental confusion. Wiping the body with its feathers has a similar effect, though not necessarily causing confusion, due to its fishy and mutton-like odor.
[Waterbird Description]
Mainly treats deafness; drip oil into the ear. Also prevents swords and knives from rusting; apply its fat to the blades. This is a waterbird, resembling a turtledove, with webbed feet like a duck connected to the tail, unable to walk on land, staying in water; it sinks when humans approach and may rise only when struck. The commentary of *Erya* states: Its fat is mainly used for polishing swords. The poem *Xu Yinghua* says: "Horses hold millet leaves in their mouths, swords are polished with [this bird's] fat," referring to this.
[Cuckoo Description]
Promotes love between husband and wife. Collect one strap on the fifth day of the fifth month; men wear it on the left, women on the right. It is said that placing them in water allows them to follow each other naturally. Additionally, Jiangdong calls it Guogong; northerners call it Bogu, also known as Huogu. It resembles a harrier, with a long tail. *Erya* states: It is a type of dove. The commentary notes: It is the current cuckoo; male and female fly and sing together, brushing wings against each other. *Book of Rites* states: The flying dove brushes its feathers. Zheng Xuan’s commentary notes: Flying while striking wings against each other.
[Wenmu Bird Description]
Used to make fans, which repel mosquitoes. The bird is chicken-sized, black. Grows in southern marshes and reeds. Its sound resembles human vomiting, expelling one or two sheng of mosquitoes from its mouth each time. *Erya* states: It is the Wenmu. The commentary notes: It is often said that it constantly vomits mosquitoes. Although mosquitoes are born from the metamorphosis of insects in foul waters, some say they are expelled by the Wenmu bird. This is akin to the Wenmu grass in northern regions, the Mengmu grass in Lingnan, and the Wenmu bird in Jiangdong; these three different entities share the same function.
