豹肉
味酸，性平，无毒。主要功效为安养五脏，补益严重损伤，使身体轻盈并益气。长期服用对人有益。
陶隐居说：豹非常稀有，用途也很少，只有豹尾珍贵。《唐本草》注解说：阴阳神豹的尾巴以及皇帝车驾卤簿中的豹尾，名称显得尊贵尊重。真正的豹尾有什么可珍贵的呢？不清楚陶弘景依据的是什么道理。现在考证陈藏器的《本草》记载：豹，主治鬼魅邪气，取豹鼻和狐鼻一起煮服，也能治疗狐魅病。臣禹锡等人谨按孟诜的说法：豹肉，食用后使人意志性情变得粗疏，过一段时间消化后就会安定。长期食用能让人耐寒暑。豹脂，可以配制生发膏，早晨涂抹晚上就能长出新发。头骨，烧成灰淋汁洗头，去除头皮屑。日华子说：豹肉，微毒。强壮筋骨，坚定志气，使人勇猛健壮。
《图经》说：豹肉，《本经》没有记载出产的州土，现在河、洛、唐、郢等地偶尔有。头骨，烧成灰洗头，去除风邪引起的头皮屑。脂，可以配制生发药，早晨涂抹晚上就能长出新发。谨按豹有好几种，有赤豹，《诗经》说：“赤豹，黄罴。”陆机疏解说：尾巴红色而花纹黑色，称为赤豹。有玄豹，《山海经》说：“幽都之山，有玄虎、玄豹。”有白豹，《尔雅》说：“貘（音与貊同），白豹。”郭璞注解说：像熊，头小脚短，黑白相间，能舔食铜铁及竹子。骨节强直，中间实心少髓。皮能辟湿，人睡在它的皮上，可以驱除温疫厉气，有人说：豹，白色的，别名貘。唐代多画貘作为屏风，白居易有赞序。不知道入药究竟用哪一种？古今医方中：很少有用到的。现在黔、蜀中时常有貘，象鼻犀目，牛尾虎足。当地人鼎釜，多为它所食，颇为山居之患，也捕捉它作为药物。其齿、骨极坚硬，用刀斧椎打铁都会碎，落在火里也不能烧。人得到它伪装成佛牙、佛骨，来欺骗世俗之人。
食疗补益人。食用使人强壮筋骨，意志性情粗疏。吃下去就感觉明显，稍时消化后就安定。长期食用，最终使人意气旺盛。
《衍义》说：豹肉，毛色赤黄，花纹黑如钱且中空，彼此依次排列。此兽凶猛敏捷超过老虎，所以能安五脏，补绝伤，轻身。又有土豹，毛更无花纹，颜色也不赤，形体也小。这各自是不同种类，不能变为虎；圣人只是借用比喻罢了。恐怕医家不理解，所以写下来。
Bao Meat (Leopard Meat)
Taste: Sour. Nature: Neutral. Toxicity: Non-toxic. Main actions: Calm the Zang organs, supplement severe injuries, lighten the body and augment Qi. Long-term consumption benefits humans.
Tao Hongjing stated: Leopards are extremely rare, and their uses are few; only the tail is valuable. The annotation in *Tang Bencao* notes: The tails of the Yin-Yang Divine Leopard and those on the imperial carriage's ceremonial array bear names that imply respect and honor. What is truly valuable about a real leopard tail? It is unclear what reasoning Tao [Hongjing] relied upon. Current examination of Chen Cangqi’s *Bencao* states: Leopard treats demonic spirits and evil influences. Taking the nose of the leopard and the nose of the fox, boiled together for consumption, also treats fox-mania diseases. Ministers Yu Xi et al., according to Meng Shen: The meat, when consumed, makes one’s will and temperament coarse; after digestion over time, it settles. Long-term consumption enables one to endure cold and heat. The fat can be compounded into hair-growth ointment; applied in the morning, new hair grows by evening. The skull bone, calcined to ash and leached for juice, removes dandruff. Ri Huazi stated: The meat is slightly toxic. It strengthens sinews and bones, fortifies willpower, and makes one fierce and vigorous.
*Tujing* states: Regarding Bao meat, *Jingben* does not record its place of origin. Currently, they are occasionally found in the regions of He, Luo, Tang, and Ying. The skull bone, calcined to ash and used for washing the head, removes wind-induced dandruff. The fat can be compounded into hair-growth medicine; applied in the morning, new hair grows by evening. Carefully examined, there are several types of leopards. There is the Red Leopard (*Chi Bao*). The *Classic of Poetry* says: "Red Leopard, Yellow Bear." Lu Ji’s commentary states: A tail that is red with black patterns is called the Red Leopard. There is the Black Leopard (*Xuan Bao*). The *Classic of Mountains and Seas* says: "In the mountains of Youdu, there are Black Tigers and Black Leopards." There is the White Leopard (*Bai Bao*). The *Erya* says: "Mo (pronounced same as Mo), White Leopard." Guo Pu’s annotation states: Resembles a bear, with a small head and short legs, black and white mottled, capable of licking and eating copper, iron, and bamboo. The joints are stiff, solid inside with little marrow. The hide repels dampness; sleeping on its skin can dispel warm pestilence. Some say: The white leopard is alternatively named Mo. In the Tang dynasty, images of Mo were often painted on screens; Bai Juyi wrote eulogies and prefaces for them. It is unknown which type is actually used for medicinal purposes. In ancient and modern medical prescriptions: fresh usage is rare. Currently, in Qian and Shu regions, Mo appear from time to time, with elephant-like noses, rhino-like eyes, ox tails, and tiger feet. Locals' cauldrons are often eaten by them, posing a hazard to mountain dwellers; they are also captured for medicinal use. Their teeth and bones are extremely hard; striking them with knives, axes, or hammers shatters iron, and burning them in fire cannot destroy them. Humans obtain them and fraudulently pass them off as Buddha teeth or Buddha bones to deceive the common people.
*Dietary Therapy*: Benefits humans. Consumption strengthens sinews and bones, making the will and temperament coarse. Upon ingestion, effects are felt immediately; after a short time of digestion, stability returns. Long-term consumption ultimately enhances one’s spirit and Qi.
*Yanyi* states: Bao meat has fur that is reddish-yellow, with black patterns like coins that are hollow in the center, arranged sequentially. This beast is fiercer and more agile than tigers, thus it can calm the Zang organs, supplement severe injuries, and lighten the body. There is also the Earth Leopard, whose fur lacks patterns entirely and is not reddish, and whose form is smaller. These are distinct species and cannot transform into tigers; sages merely used them as metaphors. Fearing that medical practitioners might not understand, this is recorded here.
