Zhen Bird Feather (Zhì Yīn Qiē):
Extremely toxic. If it enters the five Zang organs, it causes putrefaction and death. Its beak treats poisoning from pit viper bites. Also known as Yun Ri (Running Sun). Produced in the South Sea region.
Tao Hongjing said: These are actually two different things: The Zhen bird resembles a peacock, with mottled feathers of five colors, large and tall stature, black neck, and red beak; it is found in the deep mountains of Jiaozhou and Guangzhou. It shares a hollow ancient tree with snakes, causing them to swallow each other, making a sound resembling "Tong Li" (Same Strength), hence people in Jiangdong call it Tong Li. [Contact or ingestion leads to] immediate death. Zhen bird feathers should not be brought near humans, but they can treat snake venom. Wearing the Zhen beak also repels snakes. In the past, there was a red substance resembling a dragon, named Hai Jiang (Sea Ginger), growing in the sea; it is also highly toxic and inedible. Some claim that painting its feathers into wine kills people; this is baseless proof. According to Guo Pu quoted in *Yu Pian*: The Zhen bird is as large as an eagle, has a long neck, red beak, and eats snakes. Furthermore, *Shuo Wen Jie Zi*, *Guang Ya*, and *Huainanzi* all refer to it as Yun Ri; "Yun" and "Zhen" are interchangeable. Inquiry among people in Jiaozhou and Guangzhou confirms that "Zhen" is Yun Ri. Tao Hongjing stated: The description resembling a peacock is a lie by people from Jiaozhou and Guangzhou. A new variety has recently been withdrawn...
Bi Zi:
Sweet in taste, warm in nature, toxic. Treats evil qi in the abdomen, expels the Three Worms (parasites), snakebites, gu poison, gui zhu (chronic wasting diseases), and fu shi (latent parasitic infections). Produced in the valleys of Yongchang.
Tao Hongjing said: Practitioners have never used this; physicians and pharmacists throughout history no longer recognize it. Also known as Pi Zi, though its appearance is unknown. It should be written with the wood radical plus skin. Pronounced still as "Pi", meaning fruit of a tree; it was erroneously placed in the Insect section. *Er Ya* states: , also known as Shan (Fir/Cedar). Leaves resemble fir, wood resembles cypress, texture is soft, and the fruit is named Fei Zi (Torreya Seed). Tao Hongjing placed it in the Wood section; this entry should belong in the Fruit section. Current annotations note Tao's ignorance; the *Tang Ben Cao* annotation identifies it as Fei Shi (Torreya nut). However, under the Lower Grade of the Wood section, there is already an entry for Fei Shi. Meanwhile, Bi Zi appears in the Insect and Fish section. Although both originate from Yongchang, their therapeutic indications differ slightly. This distinction has remained unresolved since antiquity, and both annotations are unclear. Therefore, it is now moved to the end of this volume for experts to verify.
