【释名】石姜(出自《唐本草》)、卢 (读音同“肥”)、香娘子。
陶弘景说:这种虫有两种或三种,其中具有廉姜气味的是真品,南方人食用它,所以得名。
苏恭说:这种虫子味道辛辣且臭,汉中人食用它,称为石姜。也称为卢 ,又名负盘。南方人叫它滑虫。
李时珍说:蜚蠊、行夜、 螽这三种,西南地区的少数民族都食用它们,混称为负盘。民间又叫做香娘子。
【集解】《名医别录》说:生长在晋阳的川泽地带,以及人家房屋之间。形状像蚕蛾,腹部呈红色。在二月、八月及立秋时节采集。
陶弘景说:形状像 虫,但身体轻小能飞。原本生活在草丛中,到了八九月天气转凉时,多进入人家屋内躲避寒冷。
苗保升说:金州、房州等地有出产。多在树林间活动,成百上千聚集在一起。山里人食用它,称之为石姜。郭璞在注释《尔雅》时说:形状像蝗虫,蜀地人食用它。《左传》中提到的“蜚不为灾”,指的就是这种虫。
李时珍说:现在人家墙壁间、灶下非常多,严重的甚至聚集到千百只。身体像蚕蛾,腹背都是红色的,有两片翅膀能飞,喜欢灯火。
【气味】味咸,性寒,有毒。
苏恭说:味道辛辣且臭。
【主治】瘀血积聚引起的坚硬肿块、寒热往来,破除积聚、喉咽闭塞,体内虚寒导致的不孕(出自《神农本草经》)。通利血脉(出自《名医别录》)。食用它能降气(苏恭)。
【发明】李时珍说:徐之才在《药对》中说:立夏这一天,蜚蠊首先生出,作为人参、茯苓的使药,主治腹中七节之病,保养精神,守持中气。那么西南地区少数民族食用它也是有说法的。另外,《吴普本草》记载神农说:主治妇人症坚寒热,尤其有效。
(Feilian. Listed as Middle Grade in the *Shennong Bencao Jing*).
[Names] Shijiang (Stone Ginger, from *Tang Bencao*), Lu Fei (pronounced "fei"), Xiang Niangzi (Fragrant Lady).
Ta Hongjing stated: There are two or three types of this insect; the one possessing the aroma of Lianjiang (Galangal) is considered authentic. People in the South eat it, hence the name.
Su Gong stated: This insect has a pungent and foul odor. People in Hanzhong eat it and call it Shijiang. It is also called Lu Fei, and another name is Fupan. People in the South call it Huachong (Slippery Insect).
Li Shizhen stated: Feilian, Xingye, and Zhong are three types of insects that ethnic minorities in the Southwest all consume, collectively referred to as Fupan. Commonly, they are also called Xiang Niangzi.
[Collection and Explanation] The *Bieming BieLu* states: It grows in the rivers and marshes of Jinyang, and within human dwellings. Its shape resembles that of a silkworm moth, with a red abdomen. It is harvested in February, August, and during Liqiu (Start of Autumn).
Ta Hongjing stated: Its shape resembles the [insect], but it is lighter, smaller, and capable of flight. Originally living in grass, when cold sets in during August and September, it often enters human houses to escape the chill.
Miao Baosheng stated: It is found in places such as Jinzhou and Fangzhou. It mostly gathers in forests and trees, congregating in hundreds or thousands. Mountain people eat it, calling it Shijiang. Guo Pu, in his commentary on the *Erya*, stated: It looks like a locust, and people in Shu eat it. The phrase "Fei does not constitute a disaster" mentioned in the *Zuo Zhuan* refers to this insect.
Li Shizhen stated: Currently, there are extremely many in wall crevices and under stoves of households, sometimes gathering in numbers reaching into the thousands. Its body resembles a silkworm moth, with both abdomen and back being red. It has two wings for flight and is attracted to lamp light.

Su Gong stated: Pungent and foul-smelling.
[Indications] Stasis blood accumulation causing hard masses, alternating chills and fever; breaking up accumulations; throat and pharyngeal obstruction; internal cold leading to infertility (*Shennong Bencao Jing*). Promoting the free flow of blood vessels (*Bieming BieLu*). Consumption helps to direct Qi downward (Su Gong).
[Elucidation] Li Shizhen stated: Xu Zhicai's *Yaodui* says: On the day of Lixia (Start of Summer), Feilian first appears, serving as an assistant to Renshen (Ginseng Root) and Fuling (Poria), primarily treating ailments of the seven joints in the abdomen, preserving the spirit, and maintaining the center. Thus, there is reason for the dietary consumption by southwestern minorities. Furthermore, *Wu Pu Bencao* records that Shenneng stated: It treats hard masses and alternating chills and fever in women, which is particularly effective.
