【释名】鬼鸟（《拾遗》）、九头鸟（同上）、苍 （《白泽图》）、奇 。时珍曰∶鬼车，
妖鸟也，取周易载鬼一车之义。似
【集解】藏器曰∶鬼车，晦瞑则飞鸣，能入人家，收人魂气。相传此鸟昔有十首，犬啮
其一，犹余九首。其一常滴血，血着人家则凶。荆楚人夜闻其飞鸣，但灭灯、打门、捩狗耳
以厌之，言其畏狗也。《白泽图》苍 有九首，及孔子与子夏见奇 九首，皆此物也。《荆楚
岁时记》以
时珍曰∶鬼车状如鸺 ，而大者翼广丈许，昼盲夜了，见火光辄堕。按∶刘恂《岭表录
异》云∶鬼车出秦中，而岭外尤多。春夏之交，稍遇阴晦，则飞鸣而过，声如刀车鸣。爱入
人家，铄人魂气。血滴之家，必有凶咎。《便民图纂》云∶冬月鬼车夜飞，鸣声自北而南，
谓之出巢，主雨；自南而北，谓之归巢，主晴。周密《齐东野语》云∶宋·李寿翁守长沙，
曾捕得此鸟。状类野凫，赤色，身圆如箕。十颈环簇，有九头，其一独无而滴鲜血。每颈两

【释名】鬼鸟（出自《本草拾遗》）、九头鸟（同上）、苍鹘（出自《白泽图》）、奇鴸（同上）。李时珍说：鬼车，是妖异的鸟，取自《周易》中“载鬼一车”的含义。外形似……
【集解】藏器说：鬼车，在昏暗时飞翔鸣叫，能进入人家，摄取人的魂魄之气。相传这种鸟过去有十个头，被狗咬掉了一个，还剩下九个。其中一个头经常滴血，血落在人家里就会带来凶兆。荆楚地区的人夜里听到它飞翔鸣叫，只是熄灭灯火、敲打门扇、扭转狗的耳朵来镇压它，说是因为它害怕狗。《白泽图》记载苍鹘有九个头，以及孔子与子夏见到的奇鴸有九个头，都是这种东西。《荆楚岁时记》记载……
李时珍说：鬼车的形状像鸺鹠，但大的翅膀展开有一丈多宽，白天眼盲晚上视力好，见到火光就会坠落。按：刘恂《岭表录异》说：鬼车产于秦中地区，而岭南地区尤其多。春夏之交，稍微遇到阴雨昏暗天气，就飞翔鸣叫经过，声音像刀车鸣响。喜爱进入人家，销蚀人的魂魄之气。血滴落的人家，必定有灾祸。《便民图纂》说：冬天鬼车夜间飞行，鸣声从北向南，叫做出巢，主雨；从南向北，叫做归巢，主晴。周密《齐东野语》说：宋代李寿翁镇守长沙，曾捕获这种鸟。形状像野鸭，红色，身体圆得像簸箕。十个脖子环抱簇拥，有九个头，其中一个唯独没有却滴鲜血。每个脖子两边都有翅膀，飞起来霍霍地一起前进。另外周汉公主生病，这种鸟飞到砧石上就死了。唉！怪气所聚集，妖异到了这种地步，不可不知道。
（出自《本草拾遗》）
凡是鸟自己死亡眼睛不闭，自己死亡脚爪不伸展，白色的鸟黑色的头，黑色的鸟白色的头，有三只脚，有四距，有六个指头，有四个翅膀，形态颜色怪异，都不可食用，吃了会杀人。

[Names] Gui Niao (Ghost Bird) (from *Bencao Shiyi*), Jiu Tou Niao (Nine-Headed Bird) (ibid.), Cang Hu (Grey Falcon) (from *Baize Tu* [Illustrated Record of Baize]), Qi Zhu (Strange Bird) (ibid.). Li Shizhen said: The "Gui Che" (Ghost Carriage/Bird) is a demonic bird, deriving its name from the meaning of "carrying ghosts in one carriage" recorded in the *I Ching* (Book of Changes). Its appearance resembles...
[Explanation and Collection] Zang Qi said: The "Gui Che" flies and cries out in darkness, can enter people's houses, and collect human soul qi. It is passed down that this bird once had ten heads; a dog bit off one, leaving nine remaining. One head constantly drips blood; if the blood falls on a house, it brings misfortune. People in the Jingchu region, upon hearing it fly and cry at night, would extinguish lamps, beat doors, and twist dogs' ears to suppress it, saying it fears dogs. *Baize Tu* records that the Cang Hu has nine heads, and that Confucius and Zi Xia saw a Qi Zhu with nine heads; all are this creature. *Jingchu Suishi Ji* records...
Li Shizhen said: The "Gui Che" resembles an owl but is larger, with wings spanning about one zhang when spread. It is blind during the day and sees clearly at night; seeing firelight causes it to fall. According to Liu Xun's *Lingbiao Lu Yi*: The "Gui Che" originates from the Qinzhong region, and is particularly abundant in Lingnan. During the transition between spring and summer, if there is slight overcast or gloom, it flies and cries while passing by, its sound resembling the ringing of a knife cart. It loves entering houses and dissipating human soul qi. Houses where blood drips will surely suffer disaster. *Bianmin Tuzuan* says: In winter, the "Gui Che" flies at night; its crying sound moving from north to south is called "leaving the nest," presaging rain; from south to north, it is called "returning to the nest," presaging clear weather. Zhou Mi's *Qidong Yeyu* says: In the Song Dynasty, Li Shouwen, governor of Changsha, once captured this bird. It resembled a wild duck, was red in color, and its body was round like a winnowing basket. Ten necks clustered together, having nine heads, one of which was missing yet dripped bright red blood. Each neck had two wings, flying forward together with a whirring sound. Additionally, when Princess Zhouhan was ill, this bird flew to the chopping block and died immediately. Alas! Gathered by strange qi, so demonic and bizarre, this must be known.
(From *Bencao Shiyi*)
Any bird that dies naturally does not close its eyes; any bird that dies naturally does not extend its feet. White birds with black heads, black birds with white heads, those with three feet, four spurs, six toes, four wings, and those with abnormal shapes and colors, should all not be eaten. Eating them kills people.
