【释名】时珍曰∶按∶陆佃云∶皮为坐毯卧褥，能消膜外之气，故字从膜省文。
【集解】颂曰∶郭璞云∶似熊而头小脚卑，黑白驳纹，毛浅有光泽。
骨蛇虺。其骨节强直，中实少髓。或云与《尔雅》貘、白豹同名。唐世多
有赞序之。今黔、蜀及峨眉山中时有。貘，象鼻犀目，牛尾虎足。土人鼎釜，多为所食，颇
为山居之患，亦捕以为药。其齿骨极坚，以刀斧椎锻，铁皆碎，落火亦不能烧。人得之诈充
佛牙、佛骨，以诳俚俗。
时珍曰∶世传羚羊角能碎金刚石者即此，物相畏耳。按∶《说文
出蜀中。《南中志》云∶貘大如驴，状似熊，苍白色，多力，舐铁

（音陌。亦作貊。宋《图经》）
【校正】原附豹下，今分出。
【释名】李时珍说：据陆佃记载：其皮可用作坐毯和卧褥，能消除膜外的邪气，所以“貘”字从“膜”字省去偏旁而来。
【集解】苏颂说：郭璞记载：它像熊但头小脚短，黑白杂色花纹，毛浅且有光泽。
骨节强直，中间实心少髓。有人说它与《尔雅》中的貘、白豹同名。唐代多有赞颂它的序文。现在贵州、四川及峨眉山中时有发现。貘，象鼻犀目，牛尾虎足。当地人的鼎釜，多被它吃掉，颇为山居者的祸患，也有人捕捉它作为药材。它的牙齿和骨头极坚硬，用刀斧椎打锻打，铁器都会碎裂，落入火中也不能烧坏。有人得到它，冒充佛牙、佛骨，来欺骗乡俗百姓。
李时珍说：世间传说羚羊角能碎金刚石的就是这个，是物性相畏罢了。据《说文解字》记载：出蜀中。《南中志》说：貘大如驴，状似熊，苍白色，力气大，舔食铁。又说：貘像熊，狮首豺身，嘴尖脚低，粪便可做兵器，都能吃铜铁，也是貘类。一并附上。
【附录】啮铁 李时珍说：据《神异经》记载：南方有兽，角足大小形状像……食铁而饮水，粪便可做兵器，锋利如钢，名叫啮铁。《唐史》记载：吐火罗进献……铁，日行三百里。
犴 《禽书》说：犴对应井星，是胡狗。形状像狐狸但黑色，身长七尺，头上生一角，老了则有鳞，能吃虎、豹、蛟、龙、铜、铁。猎人也畏惧它。
狡兔 《拾遗记》说：狡兔生于昆吾山，形状像兔子，雄黄雌白，吃丹、石、铜、铁。以前吴王武库兵器都用尽了，挖掘出两只兔子，一白一黄，腹中的肾、胆都是铁，取出来铸成剑，切玉像泥一样。
皮
【主治】睡在上面，可以驱除温疠，辟除湿气、邪气（苏颂）。
膏
【主治】痈肿，能透达肌骨（李时珍说：段成式记载：貘膏性质滑利，用铜、铁、瓦器盛放都会渗漏，只有用骨器盛放才不漏）。
尿
【主治】吞入铜、铁入腹者，用水调和服用，即化为水。
(Mò. Also written as Mó. Song Dynasty *Tujing*)
[Correction] Originally appended under Leopard, now separated out.
[Names] Li Shizhen says: According to Lu Dian: Its skin can be used as seat blankets and sleeping mats, capable of dissipating pathogenic qi outside the membranes; hence the character "Mo" is derived from the abbreviated form of the character for membrane (Mó).
[Collected Explanations] Su Song says: Guo Pu records: It resembles a bear but has a small head and short legs, with black-and-white mottled patterns, shallow fur that is lustrous.
The bone joints are stiff and straight, solid in the middle with little marrow. Some say it is the same species as the Mo or White Leopard mentioned in *Erya*. In the Tang Dynasty, there were many eulogies and prefaces about it. Currently, it is occasionally found in Guizhou, Sichuan, and Mount Emei. The Mo has an elephant-like trunk, rhinoceros-like eyes, an ox's tail, and tiger's feet. Locals' cauldrons and pots are often eaten by it, causing considerable trouble for those living in the mountains; some capture it for medicinal use. Its teeth and bones are extremely hard; striking them with knives, axes, or hammers shatters the iron tools, and they cannot be burned even in fire. People obtain them to fraudulently pass off as Buddha's teeth or bones to deceive common folk.
Li Shizhen says: What is commonly said to be the antelope horn capable of shattering diamond is this animal, due to mutual antagonism of substances. According to *Shuowen Jiezi*: It originates from Shuzhong. *Nanzhong Zhi* states: The Mo is as large as a donkey, resembling a bear, pale grayish-white, strong, and licks iron. It is also stated: The Mo resembles a bear, with a lion's head and jackal's body, sharp snout and low legs; its feces can serve as weapons, and it can eat copper and iron. These are also types of Mo. Attached herewith.
[Appendix] Tiechi (Iron-Biter) Li Shizhen says: According to *Shenyi Jing*: There is a beast in the south, with horns and feet of specific size and shape... It eats iron and drinks water; its feces can serve as weapons, sharp as steel, named Tiechi. *Tang Shi* records: Tuofoluo presented... iron, traveling three hundred li per day.
Han (Wild Dog) *Qinshu* states: Han corresponds to the Well Star, it is a Hu dog. It resembles a fox but is black, seven chi long, with one horn on its head; when old, it develops scales, and can eat tigers, leopards, jiaos, dragons, copper, and iron. Hunters also fear it.
Jiaotu (Cunning Hare) *Shiyi Ji* states: The Cunning Hare is born on Kunwu Mountain, shaped like a hare, male yellow and female white, eating cinnabar, stones, copper, and iron. Previously, when King Wu of Wu's armory was depleted, two hares were dug up, one white and one yellow; their kidneys and gallbladders were made of iron. Taken out and cast into swords, they could cut jade like mud.
Skin
[Therapeutic Actions] Sleeping on it can dispel warm epidemics and ward off dampness and pathogenic qi (Su Song).
Ointment
[Therapeutic Actions] Carbuncles and swellings; it can penetrate muscle and bone (Li Shizhen says: Duan Chengshi records: Mo ointment has a penetrating nature; if stored in copper, iron, or pottery vessels, it will leak through; only when stored in bone vessels does it not leak).
Urine
[Therapeutic Actions] For those who have swallowed copper or iron into the abdomen, mix with water and ingest, and it will turn into liquid.
