与鳊鱼（一种无鳞鱼）大致相似，主要功效为各种补益作用，无鳞，有毒，不宜多吃。眼睛红、胡须红的鲤鱼会致人死亡。〔孟诜注〕
（一）食用它能平养胃气，调和脾胃，补益五脏，用来做羹汤食用效果很好。〔陈藏器注·孟诜注〕
（二）做成粥食用，可治疗急性腹泻痢疾。与大蒜同食，性微热；与姜酱同食，性微凉。〔孙思邈注·孟诜注〕
（三）另外，夏季的热性痢疾可以食用它，益处更多。冬季则没有治疗效果。〔孟诜注〕
（四）骨头：烧成灰，敷在恶疮上，三到五次即可痊愈。〔孟诜注〕
（五）另外，鲫鱼与鳊鱼，形状颇为相同，但味道有差异。鳊鱼是由节虫变化而成的。鲫鱼是由稷米变化而成的，其鱼肚上仍有稷米的颜色。体型宽大的是鲫鱼，背部高耸、腹部狭小的是鳊鱼，其功效不及鲫鱼。〔陈藏器注〕
（六）谨按：鲤鱼的子（卵）能调和脾胃，补益肝气。凡是鱼类产卵，都粘附在水草上及泥土中。寒冬过后，水退去时，也不会腐烂。每到五月三伏天，雨中便化为鱼。〔孙思邈注·陈藏器注·孟诜注〕
（七）吃鲫鱼时不得吃沙糖，否则会使人患上疳积虫。服用丹石类药物导致热毒发作的人，取茭白首部和鲫鱼一起煮羹，吃一两顿即可痊愈。〔孟诜注〕
补益五脏，驱逐十二风邪。患有恶气病的人应当制作鲤鱼羹，空腹饱食后，用衣服覆盖身体躺卧。不久便会出汗如白胶状，汗液从腰脚中流出。待汗出尽后，用五木汤沐浴，需避风一天。再每隔三、五天服用一次，并治疗湿风。〔陈藏器注〕
（一）胆：主要去除眼中红肿及热毒疼痛，点眼疗效好。〔孟诜注〕
（二）肉：白水煮食，治疗水肿、脚部胀满，具有下气作用。腹中有陈旧积聚者不可食用，有害于人。长期服用天门冬的人，也不宜食用。〔陈藏器注·孟诜注〕
（三）刺卡在肉中，或患风水肿痛者，烧鲤鱼眼睛成灰，纳入疮口中，汁液流出即可治愈。〔孟诜注〕
（四）谨按：鱼血主治小儿丹毒，涂抹患处即刻痊愈。〔孟诜注〕
（五）鱼鳞：烧至烟尽，研磨成粉。酒送服一方寸匕，可消除产后瘀血。〔孟诜注〕
（六）脂：主治各种癫痫，食用效果好。〔孟诜注〕
（七）肠：主治小儿腹中疮疡。〔孟诜注〕
（八）鲤鱼脑髓：不得与豆藿叶同食，否则会导致消瘦。〔孟诜注〕
（九）其鱼子，不得与猪肝同食。〔孟诜注〕
（十）另外，（在处理鲤鱼时），每刀切断脊背上的两条筋以及脊内的黑血，这是因为它们是毒的缘故。〔孙思邈注·陈藏器注·孟诜注〕
（十一）烤制鲤鱼切忌烟雾，不能让烟雾熏着眼睛，这会损伤人的视力。三两天内必定见效。〔孟诜注〕
（十二）另外，流行病（天行病）后不可食用，再次发病即致死。〔孙思邈注·陈藏器注·孟诜注〕
（十三）另外，（生活在）砂石中的鲤鱼，（含有）毒素，多在脑髓中，不可食用其头部。〔孙思邈注·陈藏器注·孟诜注〕
Similar to Bianyu (a scaleless fish), it is primarily used for various tonifying effects. It is scaleless and toxic; do not consume in excess. Those with red eyes and red whiskers are lethal. [Meng Shen's Annotation]
(1) Consuming it stabilizes Stomach Qi, harmonizes the Middle Jiao, benefits the Five Zang Organs, and is excellent when prepared as a soup. [Chen Cangqi's Annotation · Meng Shen's Annotation]
(2) Prepared as porridge, it treats acute dysentery. Consumed with garlic, it has a slight heat property; consumed with ginger paste, it has a slight cold property. [Sun Simiao's Annotation · Meng Shen's Annotation]
(3) Additionally, it can be eaten for summer heat-dysentery, providing greater benefit. In winter, it has no therapeutic effect. [Meng Shen's Annotation]
(4) Bones: Burned into ash and applied to malignant sores, it heals after three to five applications. [Meng Shen's Annotation]
(5) Furthermore, Crucian Carp (Jiyu) and Bianyu have similar appearances but distinct tastes. Bianyu is transformed from insect larvae. Crucian carp is transformed from Panicum miliaceum (Broomcorn millet); its belly retains the color of the millet. The wider variety is Crucian carp, while the one with a high back and narrow belly is Bianyu, which is less effective than Crucian carp. [Chen Cangqi's Annotation]
(6) Note: Carp roe harmonizes the Middle Jiao and benefits Liver Qi. All fish spawn adhere to aquatic plants and soil. After the winter flood recedes, they do not rot. During the Sanfu days in May, amidst rain, they transform into fish. [Sun Simiao's Annotation · Chen Cangqi's Annotation · Meng Shen's Annotation]
(7) When eating Crucian carp, one must not eat sugar, as it causes intestinal parasites (Gan disease). For those suffering from heat-toxin due to Dan-Shi (mineral pill) ingestion, prepare a soup with the head of Zizania latifolia (Wild Rice Stem) and Crucian carp. Eating it for one or two meals will cure the condition. [Meng Shen's Annotation]
Benefits the Five Zang Organs and expels the twelve Wind pathogens. For those suffering from "Evil Qi" illness, prepare a carp soup, eat until full on an empty stomach, cover oneself with clothing, and lie down. Soon, sweat resembling white glue will emerge, flowing from the waist and legs. After the sweat ceases, bathe in Wu Mu Tang (Five Wood Decoction) and avoid wind for one day. Administer every three to five days thereafter to treat Damp-Wind. [Chen Cangqi's Annotation]
(1) Gallbladder: Primarily removes redness in the eyes and heat-toxin pain; instillation is effective. [Meng Shen's Annotation]
(2) Meat: Boiled plainly and eaten, it treats edema and leg distension, and directs Qi downward. Do not eat if there are old accumulations in the abdomen, as it harms the person. Those long-term users of Asparagi Radix (Tianmendong) should also avoid eating it. [Chen Cangqi's Annotation · Meng Shen's Annotation]
(3) If a bone splinter is stuck in the flesh, or if suffering from Wind-Water swelling and pain, burn Carp eyes into ash, insert into the wound, and allow the fluid to drain for healing. [Meng Shen's Annotation]
(4) Note: Fish blood treats pediatric Erysipelas (Dan Du); applying it cures immediately. [Meng Shen's Annotation]
(5) Scales: Burn until smoke ceases, then grind. Take one Fangcun Bi (square-inch spoonful) with wine to resolve postpartum stagnant blood. [Meng Shen's Annotation]
(6) Fat: Treats various types of Epilepsy (Xian); consumption is beneficial. [Meng Shen's Annotation]
(7) Intestines: Treats abdominal sores in children. [Meng Shen's Annotation]
(8) Brain Marrow: Do not consume with broad bean leaves (Dihuo Ye), as it leads to emaciation. [Meng Shen's Annotation]
(9) Its roe must not be consumed with Pig Liver. [Meng Shen's Annotation]
(10) Additionally, during preparation, always remove the two tendons on the spine and the black blood within the spine, as these are toxic. [Sun Simiao's Annotation · Chen Cangqi's Annotation · Meng Shen's Annotation]
(11) Grilled carp must strictly avoid smoke; do not let smoke enter the eyes, as it damages vision. Effects will manifest within three to two days. [Meng Shen's Annotation]
(12) Additionally, do not consume after epidemic febrile diseases (Tianxing Bing); recurrence leads to death. [Sun Simiao's Annotation · Chen Cangqi's Annotation · Meng Shen's Annotation]
(13) Additionally, carp living in sand and gravel contain toxins, mostly concentrated in the brain marrow; do not consume the head. [Sun Simiao's Annotation · Chen Cangqi's Annotation · Meng Shen's Annotation]
