\r鼹（音偃）鼠\pd404.bmp\r
味咸，无毒。主痈疽，诸 蚀恶疮，阴 烂疮。在土中行。五月取令干，燔之。
陶隐居云∶俗中一名隐鼠，一名鼢（扶粉切）鼠。形如鼠大而无尾，黑色，长鼻甚强，
常穿耕地中行，讨掘即得。今
诸山林中，有兽大如水牛，形似猪，灰赤色，下脚似象，胸前、尾上皆白，有力而钝，亦名
鼹鼠。人长取食之，肉亦似
牛肉，多以作脯。其膏亦云主 ，乃云此是鼠王，其精溺一滴落地，辄成一鼠，谷有鼠灾年
则多出。恐非虚尔。今按陈
藏器本草云∶鼹鼠肉主风，久食主疮疥痔 。膏堪摩诸恶疮。《本经》所说即是小于鼠在地
中行者。陶亦云形如鼠，尾黑，
常穿耕地中，讨掘即得。如《经》所言，乃是今之鼢鼠小口尖者，其鼹鼠是兽，非鼠之俦。
大如牛，前脚短，皮入 辔

鼠王，其溺精一滴成一鼠。灾年则多，是处皆有，又能土中行。今博访山人，无精溺成鼠事，

说，陶闻而记尔。既小鼢鼠亦是鼹鼠，即是有二鼹鼠，物异名同尔。臣禹锡等谨按蜀本云∶

味甘，性平，无毒。主治上气、气短不足、咳嗽气逆。用酒调和三合服用，每日两次。又主治马肺病、虫颡等病。
肉：主治久治不愈的水肿胀满、濒临死亡者，做成羹汤食用，利水效果显著。
胞：晒干。用水煎煮后像鸡蛋大小那样，空腹服用。可吐出各种蛊毒。
现在考证陈藏器《本草拾遗》说：KT（音湍）的脂肪，主治传尸鬼气疰忤（一种具有传染性的慢性消耗性疾病）。溶于酒中服用。也能杀灭马漏脊虫疮，服用丹石类药物的人吃了它很好。又名獾豚，非常肥壮。（此条原附于《新修本草》之后）臣禹锡等人谨按孟诜说：KT，主治服用丹石类药物引起的劳热，患赤白痢疾多时不愈者，可以煮其肉，在露天放置一夜，第二天空腹蘸酱吃下，一顿即可痊愈。另外，瘦人可以五味同煮食用，能让人长肉变得肥白。曾经服用过丹石的人，可以经常服用，因为丹石类药物容易使人发热，服用KT肉很妙。
食疗方面：KT肉，性平，味酸。骨，主治上气咳嗽，炙烤后研成粉末，用酒调和三合服用，每日两次，咳嗽必定痊愈。《圣惠方》：治疗KT肉半斤，切块，粳米三合，水三升，加葱、花椒、姜、豆豉煮粥食用。《食医心镜》主治肺痿，上气气急。煎成KT猪膏，一合用暖酒调和服用。
《衍义》说：KT，身体肥矮，毛色微灰，头连脊背有一道黑毛，嘴尖黑，尾巴短阔，蒸着吃极美。貉形状像小狐狸，毛黄褐色，野兽中KT肉最甘美，仍对瘦人有益。
\r鼹（音偃）鼠\pd404.bmp\r
味咸，无毒。主治痈疽，各种腐蚀恶疮，阴部腐烂疮。生活在土中。五月采集使其干燥，烧焦使用。
陶隐居说：俗名中一名隐鼠，一名鼢（扶粉切）鼠。形状像老鼠大但没有尾巴，黑色，鼻子很长很强壮，常在耕地中穿行，挖掘就能找到。现在各山林中，有一种兽大水牛般大，形状像猪，灰红色，下脚像象，胸前、尾巴上都是白色，有力而迟钝，也名叫鼹鼠。人们长期取食它，肉也像牛肉，多用来做肉干。它的膏也说主治某病，又说这是鼠王，它的精液或尿液滴一滴落地，就变成一只老鼠，谷物有鼠灾的年份则多出。恐怕不是虚妄吧。现在考证陈藏器《本草》说：鼹鼠肉主治风邪，久食主治疮疥痔。膏可以用来涂抹各种恶疮。《本经》所说的就是小于老鼠在地中行走的那种。陶隐居也说形状像老鼠，尾巴黑，常在耕地中穿行，挖掘就能找到。如《本经》所言，乃是现在的鼢鼠小口尖的，那鼹鼠是兽类，不属于鼠类。大如水牛，前脚短，皮入辔用。《庄子》说：饮河满腹者。另外，隐鼠，阴处有之。主治大疮。陶隐居又说这是鼠王，它的溺精一滴成一鼠。灾年则多，到处都有，又能土中行。现在广泛访问山中人，没有精溺成鼠的事，也不能土中行。这是人妄说，陶隐居听到而记录罢了。既然小鼢鼠也是鼹鼠，那就是有二种鼹鼠，物异名同罢了。臣禹锡等人谨按蜀本说：行土中。又五、六月取，烧焦使用，必是鼢鼠，非鼹鼠也。又其皮作腰带。其形既大，岂可行于土中，并得而燔也。盖一名隐鼠。隐、鼹相近而误之耳。陈士良说：鼹鼠，寒。
《图经》说：鼹（音偃）鼠，旧不着所出州土，云在土中行者，今处处田间多有之。一名鼢（扶粉切），其形类田害。肉，性寒。主治风热久积，血脉不行，结成疮疽，食之，可消去。小儿食之，亦杀蛔虫。兽类中亦有一种名鼹鼠，似牛而鼠首，足黑色，大者千斤。多伏于水，又能堰水放沫。出沧州及胡中。彼人取其肉食之。皮可作辔用，是二物一名也。又，虫鱼部载牡鼠云：微温。疗折。而近世医方：用其肉，主骨蒸劳极，四肢羸瘦，杀虫。亦主小儿疳瘦，去其骨，以酒熬入药。脂，主治汤火疮，腊日取活鼠，以油煎为膏，疗汤火疮，灭瘢疵，极良。粪，主治伤寒劳复。张仲景《伤寒论》及古今名方：多用之。陶隐居说：其屎两头尖尖耳。
《衍义》说：鼹鼠，即鼢鼠也。其毛色如鼠，今京畿田中甚多。脚绝短，但能行，尾长寸许，目极小，项尤短。兼易掘取，或安竹弓射之，用以饲鹰。陶隐居不该再引：今诸山林中，大如水牛，形似猪，灰赤色者也。设使是鼠，则孰能见其溺精成鼠也。陶如此轻信，但真醇之士，不以无稽之言为妄矣。今《经》云：在土中行。则鼢鼠无疑。
Taste is sweet, nature is neutral, non-toxic. It primarily treats upper qi (rebellious Qi rising), deficiency of Qi, cough, and counterflow of Qi. Mix with wine and take three he (a traditional unit of volume) at a time, twice daily. It also treats equine lung disease and wormy throat conditions.
Meat: Primarily treats chronic edema and distension that has not healed for a long time, or cases near death. Make into a soup and eat; it has a great effect in promoting urination to reduce swelling.
Bladder: Dry it. Boil in water until the amount resembles the size of a chicken egg, take on an empty stomach. It can induce vomiting to expel various gu poisons.
Current research based on Chen Cangqi's *Bencao Shiyi* states: KT (sound 'tuan') fat primarily treats chuan shen gui qi zhu wu (a contagious chronic wasting disease caused by "ghost qi"). Dissolve in wine and take. It can also kill horse leech back sores. It is beneficial for those who have taken mineral pills (dan shi). Another name is huan tun, which is extremely fat. (This entry was originally attached to *Xinxiu Bencao*). Ministers Yu Xi et al. respectfully note according to Meng Shen: KT primarily treats heat from exhaustion caused by taking mineral pills, and chronic dysentery (red and white) that does not heal. One can boil its meat, leave it exposed overnight, and eat it the next morning on an empty stomach with sauce; one meal will cure it. Additionally, thin people can cook it with five flavors to gain flesh and become plump. Those who have taken mineral pills can consume it frequently, as mineral pills tend to cause heat, and consuming this meat is excellent.
For dietary therapy: KT meat is neutral in nature and sour in taste. Bones treat upper qi and cough; roast them, grind into powder, mix with wine, take three he, twice daily, and the cough will surely heal. *Shenghui Fang*: Treats [conditions] using half jin of KT meat, cut up, mixed with three he of japonica rice, three sheng of water, scallions, pepper, ginger, and fermented soybeans to make porridge. *Shiyi Xinjing* treats fei wei (lung atrophy) and upper qi with急促 breathing. Boil down to make KT pig fat, take one he mixed with warm wine.
*Yanyi* states: KT is fat and short, with slightly gray fur, a black stripe of hair running from head to spine, sharp black snout, and short broad tail. Steamed, it is extremely delicious. He (a type of canine) resembles a small fox, with yellow-brown fur. Among wild beasts, KT meat is the most delicious and still benefits thin people.
\rMole (sound 'yan') Mouse\pd404.bmp\r
Taste is salty, non-toxic. It primarily treats carbuncles and ulcers, various corrosive malignant sores, and rotting sores of the yin region. It lives underground. Collect in the fifth month, dry it, and roast it.
Tao Hongjing says: In common parlance, it is also called Yin Shu (Hidden Mouse) or Fen Shu (Fen Mouse). It resembles a large mouse but has no tail, is black, has a very strong long nose, and often moves through cultivated fields; it can be found by digging. Currently, in various mountain forests, there are beasts as large as water buffalo, resembling pigs, grayish-red in color, with legs like elephants, white on the chest and tail, powerful but dull, also named Yan Shu. People eat it regularly; the meat resembles beef and is often made into jerky. Its fat is said to treat certain diseases; it is also claimed to be the King of Mice, whose semen or urine drop creates a new mouse upon hitting the ground, appearing more frequently during years of grain mouse disasters. This may not be false. Current research based on Chen Cangqi's *Bencao* states: Mole meat treats wind pathogens; long-term consumption treats sores, scabies, and hemorrhoids. The fat can be used to massage various malignant sores. The *Shennong Benjing* refers to the smaller mouse that walks underground. Tao also describes it as mouse-shaped, with a black tail, moving through fields, found by digging. As stated in the *Jing*, this refers to the current small-mouthed, pointed-snouted Fen Mouse. The Yan Shu is a beast, not belonging to the mouse category. It is as large as a cow, with short front legs, and its skin is used for reins. *Zhuangzi* mentions: "Those who drink from the river fill their bellies." Additionally, Yin Shu exists in shady places and treats major sores. Tao again claims it is the King of Mice, where one drop of urine/semen becomes a mouse, multiplying in disaster years, found everywhere, and capable of moving underground. However, extensive inquiry among mountain dwellers reveals no such phenomenon of urine/semen creating mice, nor movement underground. This is human fabrication recorded by Tao. Since the small Fen Mouse is also considered a Yan Shu, there are two types of Yan Shu with different names for different entities. Ministers Yu Xi et al. respectfully note according to the Shu edition: Moving underground. Collected in the 5th and 6th months and roasted; this must be the Fen Mouse, not the Yan Shu. Also, its skin is used for belts. Given its large size, how could it move underground and be roasted? It is likely another name for Yin Shu. Yin and Yan are similar in sound and prone to error. Chen Shiliang says: Yan Shu is cold.
*Tujing* states: Yan Shu, previously unspecified regarding origin, described as moving underground; now commonly found in fields everywhere. Another name is Fen Shu, resembling field pests. Meat is cold in nature. It treats accumulated wind-heat, stagnation of blood vessels forming carbuncles and ulcers; eating it can resolve these. For children, it kills roundworms. Among beasts, there is also one named Yan Shu, resembling a cow with a mouse head, black feet, weighing up to a thousand jin. It hides in water and can dam water to create foam. Found in Cangzhou and Hu regions. Locals eat its meat. Skin is used for reins. These are two different animals sharing a name. Additionally, the Insect and Fish section records Male Mouse as slightly warm, treating fractures. Recent medical formulas use its meat to treat bone-steaming consumptive fever, extreme emaciation of limbs, and killing parasites. It also treats pediatric malnutrition and emaciation; remove bones, decoct with wine for medicine. Fat treats scalds and burns; collect live mice on the last day of the twelfth lunar month, fry in oil to make ointment, which is excellent for scalds, burns, and scar removal. Feces treat relapse of typhoid after labor. Zhang Zhongjing's *Shanghan Lun* and famous ancient and modern formulas use it frequently. Tao Hongjing says: Its feces are pointed at both ends.
*Yanyi* states: Yan Shu is the Fen Mouse. Its fur color is like a mouse, abundant in fields around the capital. Legs are extremely short, only able to walk, tail about one cun long, eyes very small, neck particularly short. Easy to dig up, or shoot with bamboo bows, used to feed eagles. Tao should not have cited: the beasts in mountains as large as water buffalo, pig-like, gray-red. If it were a mouse, who would see its semen/urine creating mice? Tao's credulity is surprising, yet sincere scholars do not dismiss baseless talk as false without verification. The *Jing* states: "Moves underground." Thus, it is undoubtedly the Fen Mouse.
