【主治】小儿惊啼,发歇不定,用腊月者烧灰,水服少许(藏器)。
(《本经》中品)
【释名】犬(《说文》)、地羊。
时珍曰∶狗,叩也。吠声有节,如叩物也。或云为物苟且,故谓之狗,韩非云“蝇营狗
苟”是矣。卷尾有悬蹄者为犬,犬字象形,故孔子曰∶视犬字如画狗。齐人名地羊。俗又讳
之以龙,称狗有乌龙、白龙之号。许氏《说文》云∶多毛曰 ,长喙曰猃(音敛),短喙曰
(音歇),去势曰猗,高四尺曰 ,狂犬曰 (音折)。生一子曰 曰
狮,三子曰 。
【集解】时珍曰∶狗类甚多,其用有三∶田犬长喙善猎,吠犬短喙善守,食犬体肥供馔。
凡本草所用,皆食犬也。犬以三月而生,在畜属木,在卦属艮,在禽应娄星。豺见之跪,虎
食之醉,犬食番木鳖则死,物性制伏如此。又辽东有鹰背狗,乃鹰产三卵,一鹰一雕一犬也。
以禽乳兽,古所未闻。详见雕条。又有老木之精,状如黑狗而无尾,名曰彭侯,可以烹食。
无情化有情,精灵之变也。
【气味】咸、酸,温,无毒。反商陆,畏杏仁。同蒜食,损人。同菱食,生癫。
思邈曰∶白犬合海 食,必得恶病。
时珍曰∶ ,小鱼也。道家以犬为地厌,不食之。凡犬不可炙食,令人消渴。妊妇食之,
令子无声。热病后食之,杀人。服食人忌食。九月勿食犬,伤神。瘦犬有病, 犬发狂,自
死犬有毒,悬蹄犬伤人,赤股而躁者气臊,犬目赤者,并不可食。
【主治】安五脏,补绝伤,轻身益气(《别录》)。宜肾(思邈)。补胃气,壮阳道,暖腰
膝,益气力(《日华》)。补五劳七伤,益阳事,补血脉,浓肠胃,实下焦,填精髓,和五味
煮,空心食之。凡食犬若去血,则力少不益人(孟诜)。
【发明】弘景曰∶白狗、乌狗入药用。黄狗肉大补虚劳,牡者尤胜。
大明曰∶黄犬大补益人,余色微补。古言薯蓣凉而能补,犬肉暖而不补。虽有此言,服
终有益。但因食秽,不食者众。
震亨曰∶世言犬能治劳损阳虚之疾,然人病多是阴虚。若阳果虚,其死甚易,亦安能措
手哉?
时珍曰∶脾胃属土,喜暖恶寒。犬性温暖,能治脾胃虚寒之疾。脾胃温和,而腰肾受荫
矣。若素常气壮多火之人,则宜忌之。丹溪独指阴虚立
惫诸虚证,有黄犬肉丸,药多不载。

磔四门以御灾,风俗通义云今人杀白犬血题门以辟不祥,则自古已然
琅琊有女子,右股病疮,痒而不痛,愈而复作。佗取稻糖色犬一只系马,马走五十里,乃断

(出自《神农本草经》中品)
【名称解释】犬(《说文解字》)、地羊。
李时珍说:狗,是“叩”的意思。吠叫声有节奏,像敲击物体一样。有人说因为这种动物行为苟且,所以叫狗,韩非子说的“蝇营狗苟”就是这个意思。尾巴卷曲且有悬蹄的叫犬,“犬”字是象形字,所以孔子说:“看‘犬’字就像画了一只狗。”齐地的人叫它地羊。民间又忌讳直接称狗为龙,称狗有乌龙、白龙的称号。许慎的《说文解字》说:多毛的叫 ,长嘴的叫猃(音敛),短嘴的叫 (音歇),去势的叫猗,高四尺的叫 ,疯狗叫 (音折)。生一只幼崽叫 叫狮,生三只叫 。
【集解考证】李时珍说:狗的品种很多,用途有三类:田犬嘴长善于狩猎,吠犬嘴短善于守家,食犬身体肥壮供人食用。凡是本草中使用的,都是食犬。狗在三月生产,在五行畜类属木,在八卦属艮,在禽星对应娄星。豺狼见到它下跪,老虎吃了它会醉倒,狗吃了番木鳖就会死,万物本性相互制伏就是这样。还有辽东有一种鹰背狗,是老鹰产下三枚卵,孵出一只鹰、一只雕和一只狗。以禽鸟哺乳兽类,是古代未曾听说过的。详见“雕”条。还有一种老树成的精怪,形状像黑狗但没有尾巴,名叫彭侯,可以烹煮食用。这是无情之物化为有情之物,是精灵的变化。
【气味归经】咸味、酸味,性温,无毒。与商陆相反,畏惧杏仁。同蒜一起吃,损伤人体。同菱角一起吃,会引发癫疾。
孙思邈说:白犬肉合海 鱼一起吃,必定会得恶病。
李时珍说: ,是小鱼。道家认为狗是地厌(地府厌恶之物),不吃它。凡是大狗不可烤着吃,会让人患消渴病。孕妇吃了,会让婴儿失声。热病痊愈后吃了,会致死。服用丹药养生的人忌食。九月不要食狗肉,损伤精神。瘦狗有病, 犬发狂,自死的狗有毒,有悬蹄的狗伤人,大腿赤红且急躁的狗气臊臭,狗眼红的,都不可食用。
【主治功效】安五脏,补绝伤,轻身益气(《名医别录》)。宜于肾(孙思邈)。补胃气,壮阳道,暖腰膝,益气力(《日华本草》)。补五劳七伤,益阳事,补血脉,厚肠胃,实下焦,填精髓,调和五味煮熟,空腹食用。凡是吃狗肉如果去掉血,则效力减少,对人无益(孟诜)。
【发明辨证】陶弘景说:白狗、乌狗入药使用。黄狗肉大补虚劳,公狗尤其胜过。
苏颂(大明)说:黄犬大补益人,其他颜色稍补。古话说薯蓣凉而能补,犬肉暖而不补。虽然有此说法,服用终究有益。但因为食物不洁,很多人不吃。
朱震亨(震亨)说:世人说狗能治疗劳损阳虚的疾病,然而人的病多是阴虚。如果阳气真的虚了,死亡很容易,又怎么能着手治疗呢?
李时珍说:脾胃属土,喜暖恶寒。狗性温暖,能治疗脾胃虚寒的疾病。脾胃温和,腰肾也就受到荫庇了。如果平时气壮多火的人,则应该忌食。丹溪先生独自指出阴虚导致的各种虚弱证候,有黄犬肉丸,药物大多未记载。
【附方】旧方三个,新方六个。
戊戌酒:大补元气。用黄狗肉一只,煮一个时辰,捣成泥,和汁拌蒸糯米三斗,加曲按常法酿酒。等酿熟,每天早晨空腹饮用。(《养老奉亲书》方)

【主治功效】白狗血:治疗癫疾发作。乌狗血:治疗难产横生,血上抢心,和酒服用(《名医别录》)。补安五脏(《日华本草》)。热饮,治疗虚劳吐血,又解射罔毒。点眼,治疗痘疮入目。又治伤寒热病发狂见鬼及鬼击病,辟除各种邪魅(李时珍)。
【发明辨证】李时珍说:术数家认为狗是地厌,能禳除辟除一切邪魅妖术。按:《史记》说:秦朝时在四个城门杀狗肢解以御灾祸,《风俗通义》说现在人杀白犬血题写门上来辟除不祥,那么自古以来就是这样了。琅琊有个女子,右腿患病疮,痒而不痛,好了又复发。华佗取一只稻糖色的狗系在马身上,马跑五十里,然后砍头将血合在痒处。一会儿一条蛇在皮中动,用钩子引出,长约三尺,七天痊愈。这也是怪证,取狗的血腥气,来引出其中的虫罢了。
【附方】旧方三个,新方三个。
热病发狂:伤寒、时气、温病六七日,热极发狂,见鬼想跑。取白狗从背部破开取血,趁热摊在胸口上,冷了才去掉。这也能救垂死之人。如果没有白狗,纯色的也可以。(《肘后备急方》)

【主治功效】妇人产后肾劳像疟疾一样的症状。妇人身体热的用猪肾,身体冷的用犬肾(陈藏器)。
肝
李时珍说:按沈周《杂记》说:狗肝颜色像泥土,臭味也是这样。所以人夜里走在土上则肝气动,大概是相互感应的缘故。又张华《物类志》说:用狗肝和土泥灶,让妇人的娘家孝顺。那么狗肝应土的说法相符了。
【主治功效】肝同心捣碎,涂抹狂犬咬伤。又治香港脚攻心,做生的,用姜、醋进服,取泄。先泄的不要用(陈藏器)。

【发明辨证】慎微说:按《魏志》说:河内太守刘勋的女儿病左膝疮痒。华佗视之,用绳子系住狗后腿使其不能行走,割开狗腹取胆对着疮口,一会儿有虫像蛇从疮上出来,长三尺,病愈了。

[Indications] Resolves various toxic insect bites and ghostly nightmares. Drink one bowl, do not let the patient know. Also used to wash various sores, with good effect (Li Shizhen).
Grass from pigsty
[Indications] Treats infant night crying; secretly place under the mattress, do not let the mother know (Ri Hua Ben Cao).
Pig-binding rope
[Indications] Treats infant fright crying, irregular onset and cessation; use rope made in the twelfth lunar month, burn to ash, take a small amount with water (Chen Cangqi).
(From *Shennong Bencao Jing*, Middle Grade)
[Names] Canis familiaris (*Shuowen Jiezi*); Earth Sheep.
Li Shizhen says: "Gou" (dog) relates to "kou" (knock). The barking sound has rhythm, like knocking on an object. Some say it is called dog because the animal acts recklessly, as Han Feizi said, "Flies swarm and dogs act recklessly." Those with curled tails and supernumerary hooves are called "quan"; the character "quan" is pictographic, hence Confucius said, "Looking at the character 'quan' is like seeing a drawing of a dog." People in Qi call it Earth Sheep. Folklore avoids calling it dragon directly, giving names like Black Dragon or White Dragon. Xu Shen's *Shuowen Jiezi* states: Hairy ones are [character]; long-snouted ones are Xian (pronounced lian); short-snouted ones are [character] (pronounced xie); neutered ones are Yi; four chi high are [character]; mad dogs are Zhe (pronounced zhe). One offspring is called Shi; three offspring are [character].
[Collection and Explanation] Li Shizhen says: There are many types of dogs, with three main uses: Field dogs have long snouts and are good for hunting; Watchdogs have short snouts and are good for guarding; Food dogs are fat and used for consumption. All dogs used in materia medica are food dogs. Dogs give birth in the third month; among animals they belong to Wood; among trigrams they belong to Gen; among stars they correspond to Lou. Jackals kneel when they see them; tigers become drunk after eating them; dogs die after eating *Aconitum ferox* seeds. Such is the mutual restraint of natures. There is also an Eagle-Back Dog in Liaodong, born from three eagle eggs hatching one eagle, one hawk, and one dog. Birds nursing mammals was unheard of in ancient times. See the entry for Hawk. There is also an old tree spirit, shaped like a black dog without a tail, named Peng Hou, which can be cooked and eaten. This is the transformation of the lifeless into the living, a change of spirits.
[Properties and Flavors] Salty, sour, warm, non-toxic. Incompatible with *Phytolaccae Radix* (Shanglu); fears *Prunus armeniaca* seed (Xingren). Eating with garlic damages the body. Eating with water caltrop causes epilepsy.
Sun Simiao says: Eating white dog meat with Hai fish will surely cause malignant diseases.
Li Shizhen says: [Character], a small fish. Daoists consider the dog an abomination of the earth and do not eat it. Large dogs should not be roasted, as this causes Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst syndrome). Pregnant women who eat it may bear silent infants. Those recovering from febrile diseases who eat it may die. Those practicing dietary regimens should avoid it. Do not eat dog meat in the ninth month, as it harms the spirit. Sick thin dogs, rabid dogs, self-dead dogs (toxic), dogs with supernumerary hooves (harmful), dogs with red thighs and irritability (smelly), and dogs with red eyes should all be avoided.
[Indications] Calms the five viscera, supplements severe injuries, lightens the body, and benefits qi (*Mingyi Bielu*). Beneficial to the Kidney (Sun Simiao). Supplements stomach qi, strengthens the sexual function, warms the waist and knees, and boosts physical strength (*Ri Hua Ben Cao*). Supplements five labors and seven injuries, benefits yang functions, nourishes blood vessels, thickens the intestines and stomach, solidifies the lower jiao, fills essence and marrow. Boil harmoniously with five flavors and eat on an empty stomach. If blood is removed from dog meat before cooking, its efficacy is reduced and it does not benefit people (Meng Shen).
[Innovation and Analysis] Tao Hongjing says: White and black dogs are used in medicine. Yellow dog meat greatly supplements deficiency and exhaustion, especially males.
Su Song (Da Ming) says: Yellow dogs greatly benefit humans; other colors have slight benefits. Ancient texts say *Dioscorea* is cool but nourishing, while dog meat is warm but not nourishing. Although this saying exists, taking it is ultimately beneficial. However, due to uncleanliness, many do not eat it.
Zhu Zhenheng says: The world says dogs can treat deficiency-cold diseases caused by labor and damage, but most human illnesses are yin deficiency. If yang were truly deficient, death would be imminent, making treatment difficult.
Li Shizhen says: The Spleen and Stomach belong to Earth, preferring warmth and disliking cold. Dog nature is warm, capable of treating Spleen-Stomach deficiency-cold. When the Spleen-Stomach is mild and warm, the waist and Kidneys receive its influence. Those with robust qi and excessive fire should avoid it. Danxi focused solely on yin deficiency causing various weakness syndromes; there is a Yellow Dog Meat Pill, but the ingredients are mostly not recorded.
[Attached Prescriptions] Three old, six new.
Wuxu Wine: Greatly supplements primordial qi. Use one yellow dog meat, boil for one shichen (2 hours), pound into paste, mix with juice and three dou of glutinous rice, add yeast as usual for brewing wine. When ready, drink on an empty stomach every morning. (*Yang Lao Fang*)
Wuxu Pill: Treats men and women with all kinds of deficiency insufficiency, bone-steaming tidal fever, etc. Use one yellow puppy, remove skin, hair, intestines, and stomach along with external kidneys.

[Indications] White dog blood: Treats epilepsy attacks. Black dog blood: Treats dystocia with transverse presentation, blood rushing to the heart; mix with wine and take (*Mingyi Bielu*).

Also treats mania and hallucinations from cold-heat diseases, and Guiji disease; wards off evil spirits (Li Shizhen).
[Innovation and Analysis] Li Shizhen says: Diviners consider the dog an earth abomination, capable of exorcising all evil spirits and sorcery. According to *Records of the Grand Historian*: In Qin times, dogs were killed and dismembered at the four gates to ward off disasters. *Fengsu Tongyi* says people now kill white dogs, apply blood to doors to ward off misfortune; thus this has existed since ancient times. A woman in Langya had a sore on her right thigh, itchy but painless, recurring after healing. Hua Tuo took a rice-sugar-colored dog, tied it to a horse, rode fifty li, then decapitated it and applied the blood to the itchy area. Soon a snake moved under the skin, drawn out with a hook, about three chi long; healed in seven days. This is a strange case; the dog's bloody smell draws out the worm.
[Attached Prescriptions] Three old, three new.

[Indications] Postpartum kidney labor resembling malaria. Women with hot constitutions use pork kidney; those with cold constitutions use dog kidney (Chen Cangqi).
Liver
Li Shizhen says: According to Shen Zhou's *Zaji*: Dog liver color resembles soil, and so does the smell. Thus, walking on soil at night activates liver qi, likely due to resonance. Zhang Hua's *Wulei Zhi* says using dog liver to mud a stove makes the wife's family filial. This matches the theory that dog liver corresponds to Earth.
[Indications] Pound liver with heart, apply to dog bites. Treats Hong Kong foot attacking the heart; eat raw with ginger and vinegar to induce purging. Do not use if purging occurs first (Chen Cangqi).
