疗蜂毒，毒肿。一名蜂肠，
一名百穿，一名蜂窠。生 山谷。七月七日采，阴干。
恶干姜、丹参、黄芩、芍药、牡蛎。此蜂房多在树腹中及地中，今此曰露蜂，当用人家
屋间及树枝间苞裹者。乃远
举 ，未解所以。
〔谨案〕此蜂房，用树上悬得风露者。其蜂黄黑色，长寸许，虿马、牛、
人，乃至欲死者，用此皆有
效，非人家屋下小小蜂房也。《别录》

生河内川谷樗树上。七月采，曝干。
形似寒 而小，今出梁州，方用至希，惟合大麝香丸用之。樗树似漆而臭，今以此树上

蒸干之，勿令蠹。
蚱字音作榨，即是哑蝉。哑，雌蝉也，不能鸣者。蝉类甚多。庄子云∶蟪蛄不知春秋，

蝉则雌蝉也，极乖体用，按诸虫兽，以雄者为良也。
【露蜂房】
味苦、咸，性平，有毒。主治惊痫抽搐（因受惊或热极引起的痉挛抽搐），寒热邪气，癫疾（精神失常疾病），鬼精蛊毒（古代指由鬼神或寄生虫引起的中毒性疾病），肠痔（肠道痔疮）。用火熬制后使用效果良好。又能治疗蜂蜇伤及毒肿。又名蜂肠，一名百穿，一名蜂窠。生长于山谷中。七月七日采集，阴干。
畏干姜、丹参、黄芩、芍药、牡蛎。这种蜂房多在树腹中和地中，现在所说的“露蜂”，应当是指人家屋檐间及树枝间包裹着的蜂房。这说法过于远举，未能解释清楚原因。
〔谨案〕此蜂房，应选用悬挂在树上经受风露的。其蜂体黄黑色，长约一寸左右，螫马、牛、人，甚至使人濒临死亡，使用此药均有效，并非人家屋下那种小小的蜂房。《名医别录》记载：能治疗恶疽（严重的化脓性感染），附骨痈（深部脓肿，根在脏腑），历节肿出疔肿（关节肿痛及疔疮），恶脉诸毒皆愈。另外，用水煮露蜂房，服用五合汁液，可排出石药（矿物类药物）残留的热毒壅闷，小便中即排出石末，效果显著。烧成灰后用酒送服，主治阳痿。用水煮洗狐尿刺疮。服用它，可治疗上气赤白痢（伴有气喘的赤白痢疾）、遗尿失禁。
【樗鸡】
味苦，性平，有小毒。主治心腹邪气、阳痿，益精强志（增强记忆力），生子，好色（改善性功能），补中轻身（补益脾胃，身体轻盈），又能治疗腰痛，下气，强阴多精，不可靠近眼睛。
生长于河内川谷的樗树上。七月采集，晒干。
形状似寒蝉而小，现在产于梁州，方剂中使用极少，仅配合大麝香丸使用。樗树像漆树但有臭味，现在认为长在这种树上的为好，也像芫青、亭长一样，必须生长在芫花、葛藤上的为良。
〔谨案〕此物有两种，五色俱全的是雄虫，优良；青黑底色白斑的是雌虫，不入药用。现在产于歧州，河内没有这种虫了。
【蚱蝉】
味咸、甘，性寒，无毒。主治小儿惊痫，夜啼，癫病，寒热，惊悸，妇人难产，胞衣不下，又能堕胎。生长在杨柳树上。五月采集，蒸干，不要让它被虫蛀。
“蚱”字音同“榨”，就是哑蝉。哑，指雌蝉，不能鸣叫的。蝉类很多。庄子说：“蟪蛄不知春秋”，那就是现在四月、五月出现的小紫青色者。而《离骚》说：“蟪蛄鸣兮啾啾，岁暮兮不自聊”，这是寒蝉，九月和二月就开始鸣叫的叫“母”，似寒蝉而小；七月、八月鸣叫的叫“蜩”，颜色青。现在说生在杨柳树上的是正确的。《诗经》说：“鸣蜩”，形体大而黑，伛偻丈夫，只是采摘这个，古人曾食用它。所以《礼记》中有雀、蜩范，范有冠，蝉有，也指这种蜩。这种蜩五月就开始鸣叫。俗话说明月不鸣，婴儿多灾，现在它的疗效也专门主治小儿疾病。
〔谨案〕《名医别录》说：壳名叫枯蝉，一名伏蜩，主治小儿痫证，女人生子不出，烧灰服用，主治久痢；又说蚱是鸣蝉，主治小儿痫证，绝不能说话；现在说哑蝉，哑蝉则是雌蝉，极不符合实际用途，考察各种虫兽，以雄者为良。
[Lu Feng Fang (Exposure Honeycomb)]
Taste: bitter, salty. Nature: neutral. Toxicity: toxic. Indications: primarily treats jing xian chong yuan (convulsions and spasms due to fright or extreme heat), cold-heat pathogenic factors, dian ji (mental disorders), gui jing gu du (poisoning attributed to spirits or parasites in ancient texts), chang zhi (intestinal hemorrhoids). It is best used after being roasted over fire. It also treats bee stings and toxic swelling. Alternative names: Feng Chang, Bai Chuan, Feng Ke. Habitat: grows in mountain valleys. Collection time: collected on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, dried in the shade. Incompatibilities: adverse reaction with Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger), Danshen (Salvia Root), Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root), Shao Yao (Peony Root), Mu Li (Oyster Shell). This type of honeycomb is mostly found inside tree trunks and underground. The term "Lu Feng" (Exposed Honeycomb) currently refers to those wrapped in eaves of houses and among tree branches. This explanation is too remote and fails to clarify the reason.
[Note] For this honeycomb, one should use those hanging on trees exposed to wind and dew. The bees are yellowish-black, about one cun long. They sting horses, cattle, and humans, even causing near-death states; using this honeycomb is effective for such cases. It is not the small honeycombs under human dwellings. *Bie Lu* records that it treats e ju (severe carbuncles), fu gu yong (deep-seated abscesses rooted in internal organs), li jie zhong chu ding zhong (swelling at joints and carbuncles), e mai zhu du (varicose veins and various toxins), all of which will heal. Additionally, boiling Lu Feng Fang in water and taking five he of the decoction can expel the heat toxicity from mineral drugs (Shi Yao), resulting in the excretion of stone powder in urine, with significant effect. Ashed and taken with wine, it treats yang wei (impotence). Boiled water washes hu niao ci chuang (sores caused by fox urine). Taking it treats shang qi chi bai li (dysentery with Qi rebellion), yi niao shi jin (urinary incontinence).
[Chu Ji (Cicada on Chu Tree)]
Taste: bitter. Nature: neutral. Toxicity: slightly toxic. Indications: primarily treats xin fu xie qi (pathogenic factors in heart and abdomen), yang wei (impotence), benefits essence, strengthens willpower, aids conception, improves libido, tonifies the middle and lightens the body, also treats lower back pain, directs Qi downward, strengthens Yin and increases essence. Avoid contact with eyes.
Habitat: grows on Chu trees in river valleys of Henei. Collection time: collected in July, sun-dried.
Morphology: resembles Han Chan but smaller. Currently produced in Liangzhou, rarely used in prescriptions, only combined with Da She Xiang Wan (Large Musk Pill). Chu tree resembles Lacquer tree but has an odor. Those growing on this tree are considered good. Similarly, like Yuan Qing and Ting Chang, those growing on Yuan Hua (Genkwa Flower) and Ge Teng (Kudzu Vine) are superior.
[Note] There are two types of this insect. Those with complete five colors are male and superior. Those with black-green base and white spots are female and not used medicinally. Currently produced in Qizhou; none exist in Henei.
[Zha Chan (Zha Cicada)]
Taste: salty, sweet. Nature: cold. Toxicity: non-toxic. Indications: primarily treats xiao er jing xian (pediatric convulsions), ye ti (night crying), dian bing (epilepsy/mental disorder), han re (cold and fever), jing ji (palpitations due to fright), fu ren ru nan (difficult labor), bao yi bu chu (retained placenta), and can induce abortion. Habitat: grows on willow trees. Collection time: collected in May, steamed and dried, preventing insect damage.
The character "Zha" is pronounced like "Zha", meaning Ya Chan (Silent Cicada). "Ya" refers to female cicadas, which cannot sing. There are many types of cicadas. Zhuangzi said: "Hui Gu does not know spring and autumn," referring to the small purple-green ones appearing in April and May. *Li Sao* says: "Hui Gu sings chirping, year-end without leisure," referring to Han Chan (Winter Cicada), which sings in September and February. The one called "Mu" resembles Han Chan but is smaller. The one singing in July and August is called "Tiao", with green color. The current description of growing on willow trees is correct. *Shi Jing* says: "Singing Tiao," large and black, bent-backed men would pick these, and ancients ate them. Thus, *Li Ji* mentions Que, Tiao Fan, where Fan has a crest, and Chan has [crest], also referring to this Tiao. This Tiao sings in May. Folklore says if they do not sing in May, infants suffer disasters. Its medicinal efficacy now specifically targets pediatric conditions.
[Note] *Bie Lu* states: The shell is named Ku Chan or Fu Tiao, treating pediatric epilepsy and retained placenta in women; ashed and taken, it treats chronic dysentery. It also states Zha is the singing cicada, treating pediatric epilepsy and aphonia. The current text calls it Ya Chan (Silent Cicada), implying female cicadas, which contradicts actual usage. Examining insects and beasts, males are generally considered superior.
