有毒，由化生而来。
葛上亭长主治蛊毒、鬼疰（一种传染性极强的疾病）、破淋结积聚、堕胎。（此条为名医所录）【产地】陶隐居说：在葛花开放时捕捉它，这种虫身体黑色而头部红色，比喻像人穿着黑衣戴着红头巾，所以名叫“亭长”。这一种虫子有五种变化形态，都相似。三月时在芫花上，就称为芫青；四月五月在王不留行上，就称为王不留行虫；六月七月在葛花上，就称为葛上亭长；八月在豆花上，就称为斑蝥；九月十月准备回地中冬眠时，就称为地胆。这是伪的地胆罢了，主治功效仍然相同。【唐本草注】说：现在检查《本草》及古方诸方，未见使用王不留行虫的记载。如果这样，那么这四种虫子专在一处活动吗？如今地胆出自豳州，芫青出自宁州，亭长出雍州，斑蝥到处都有。这四种虫子出自四个地方，难道这种虫子能一年周游四州吗？况且芫青和斑蝥形状段落相似，亭长和地胆貌状大不相同。豳州的地胆是在三月至十月的草菜上采集，并非从地中取出。陶隐居所说的恐怕会扰乱证候辨别吧。【绍兴校定】说：葛上亭长乃是斑蝥、芫青之类，然而毕竟是另一种。验证其破血之性，也相差不远。大抵破除蓄血坚积多见使用。《本经》说：味辛，微温，有毒，这是正确的。注中说一虫五变，如果说一年能周游四州，就没有依据了。只有山东各州郡多出产它。【生长】无固定时间。【采收】六月七月采集。【贮藏】晒干。【用法】身体黑、头部红色的为好。【颜色】黑。【味道】辛。【性质】微温散。【气味】气浓于味，属阳。【气味】腥。【主治】淋证。需放在栋上一夜，然后入药使用。【治疗】《图经》说：取得后折断腹部，腹中有白色子如小米，附着在白板子上阴干。药成后，久患淋证者服用三枚或两枚。服药时，将水放入小杯中，放入药盏中，用指甲研磨，应当扁扁地浮于水中，然后让病患饮用，不要让药接触到牙齿。药虽然微小，但直达下焦淋证部位。片刻后，药力会产生烦感，随饮干麦饭汁或饮水也可以，则药势停止。老人小孩服用三分之一。当下排出如脓血，石淋状如手指头，或青或黄，男女服用皆愈。【禁忌】妊娠不可服用。
Toxic, generated spontaneously.
Ge Shang Ting Chang (Mylabris cichorii) treats Gu poison (parasitic disease), Gui Zhu (a highly contagious disease resembling tuberculosis or mental disorders), breaks down Lin accumulation and masses (accumulation of pathological products), and induces abortion. (Recorded by famous physicians) [Origin] Tao Hongjing said: Catch it when the kudzu flowers bloom. Its body is black and its head is red, resembling a person wearing black clothes and a red cap, hence the name "Ting Chang" (Pavilion Chief). This insect undergoes five transformations in one year, all similar. In March, it is on the Genkwa flower, called Yuan Qing; in April and May, on the Vaccaria seeds, called Wang Bu Liu Xing Chong; in June and July, on the Kudzu flower, called Ge Shang Ting Chang; in August, on the bean flower, called Ban Mao; in September and October, preparing to hibernate underground, called Di Dan. This is a false Di Dan, but its therapeutic effects are still the same. [Tang Ben Cao Note] states: Upon checking the Materia Medica and ancient prescriptions, there is no record of using Wang Bu Liu Xing Chong. If so, do these four insects stay in one place? Currently, Di Dan comes from Bin Zhou, Yuan Qing from Ning Zhou, Ting Chang from Yong Zhou, and Ban Mao is found everywhere. These four insects come from four places; can this insect travel through four provinces in one year? Moreover, Yuan Qing and Ban Mao are similar in shape, while Ting Chang and Di Dan look very different. The Di Dan from Bin Zhou is collected from grass and vegetables from March to October, not taken from the ground. What Tao Hongjing said may confuse the differentiation of syndromes. [Shaoxing Revision] states: Ge Shang Ting Chang belongs to the category of Ban Mao and Yuan Qing, but is a distinct species. Verifying its blood-breaking nature, it is not far off. Generally, it is used to break up accumulated blood and hard masses. The *Shennong Ben Cao Jing* states: Pungent, slightly warm, toxic. This is correct. The note mentions one insect with five transformations; claiming it travels through four provinces in a year lacks evidence. It is mostly produced in Shandong prefectures. [Growth] No fixed time. [Harvest] Collected in June and July. [Storage] Sun-dried. [Usage] Those with black bodies and red heads are superior. [Color] Black. [Flavor] Pungent. [Nature] Slightly warm, dispersing. [Qi and Flavor] Qi is stronger than flavor, belonging to Yang. [Odor] Fishy. [Indications] Lin syndrome (dysuria). Must be placed on a roof beam for one night before use. [Treatment] *Tu Jing* says: After obtaining, break the abdomen. Inside are white seeds like millet grains. Dry them in the shade on a white board. For chronic Lin syndrome, take 3 or 2 pills. When taking, put water in a small cup, add the pill, grind with fingernails until it flattens and floats on the water surface. Let the patient drink it, ensuring it does not touch the teeth. Though small, the medicine reaches the lower Jiao where the Lin syndrome is located. Shortly after, the medicine will cause a sensation of heat/discomfort. Drinking dry wheat bran juice or plain water can stop the medicinal force. Elderly and children should take one-third dose. It will expel substances resembling pus and blood, or stones like a finger, either green or yellow. Both men and women will be cured. [Contraindications] Do not take during pregnancy.
