【释名】飞鱼。
【集解】陈藏器说:产于海南。大的长约一尺左右,有鳍与尾巴齐平。成群在海面上飞翔。海边人观察它们,预示将有狂风大作。
《吴都赋》中说“文鳐夜间飞翔而触碰到渔网”,说的就是这种鱼。
李时珍说:查考《西山经》记载:观水向西流入流沙,水中多产文鳐鱼。形状像鲤鱼,长着鸟的翅膀和鱼的身体,青色花纹、白色头部、红色嘴喙。常在夜间飞翔,从西海游向东海。叫声像鸾鸡。味道酸甘,食用它可以治愈狂病。出现这种鱼预示着大丰收。《林邑记》说:飞鱼身体圆滚,大的有一丈多长,翅膀像胡蝉。《统志》说:陕西某县的涝水出产飞鱼,形状像鲫鱼,食用它可以治愈痔疮。
【气味】味甘,味酸,无毒。
【主治】妇女难产,烧成黑炭后研成粉末,用酒送服一钱,临产前佩戴在身上,能让人容易分娩(李时珍补充)。
(出自《海药本草》)
【释名】土奴鱼(出自《临海记》)。
【集解】陈藏器说:产于南海。头像老虎,背部皮肤像刺猬一样有刺,碰到人就像被蛇咬一样痛。也有变成老虎的情况。
李时珍说:查考《倦游录》记载:海中泡鱼大如斗,身上有刺像刺猬,能豪猪化。这就是鱼虎。《述异记》说:老了就会变成鲨鱼。
【气味】有毒。
(出自《本草纲目》)
【集解】李时珍说:陈藏器在关于各种鱼的注释中说:某种大鱼有毒,能杀人。现在没有人认识它了。
只是《唐韵》说:这是老鱼。《山海经》说:历虢
(出自《海药本草》)
【释名】水母(出自《海药本草》)、樗蒲鱼(出自《海药本草》)、石镜。
李时珍说:读音为“作”或“宅”两个音。南方人讹传为“海折”,或者写作“蜡”、“...”的,都不是正确的。刘恂说:福建人叫它...,广东人叫它水母。《异苑》叫它石镜。
【集解】陈藏器说:...虾动
李时珍说:水母形体浑然凝结,颜色红紫,没有口、眼、腹。下面有物体像悬挂的棉絮,群虾附着在上面,吸食它的唾液泡沫,浮游飘荡如同飞翔。被潮水冲拥时,虾散去而...无法回归。人们因此割取它,用锻石、矾水浸泡,去掉血色后就变白了。其中最浓稠的部分,叫做...头,味道更好。生吃、熟吃都可以。
【气味】味咸,性温,无毒。
【主治】妇女劳损,积血带下,小儿风疾丹毒,汤火伤(陈藏器)。

Li Shizhen stated: The jellyfish has a coherent, condensed form, colored red-purple, without mouth, eyes, or stomach. Below it hangs an object like cotton wadding, upon which groups of shrimp attach themselves, sucking its saliva and foam, floating and drifting as if flying. When pushed by the tide, the shrimp scatter, but the... cannot return. People therefore cut it out, soak it in smelted stone and alum water to remove the blood color, turning it white.
