鸳鸯和鸂(xi,溪)鶒(chì,翅),本草文献始载于宋代掌禹锡的《嘉佑补注神农本草》,以后的《证类本草》、《饮膳正要》、《本草纲目》等著名本草都有记载,现代的文献一般只收载鸳鸯,为雁形目鸭科动物鸳鸯Aix galexiculata(Linnaeus),而鸂鶒并未收载,有也只说明属于鸳鸯类动物.笔者因此对这两种动物进行考证. 鸳鸯 鸂 and 鸂 (xi, 溪) 鶒 (chì, 翅), the Chinese herbal literature was first published in the Song Dynasty, Zhang Duxiu’s “Jia You Bu Shen Nong Materia Medica”, after the “Certification of Herbal Medicine,” “Tea is about to”, “ ”Compendium of Materia Medica" and other well-known Chinese herbal medicines have all been recorded. Modern literature generally only contains 鸳鸯, which is an aegyptiacus (Aix galexiculata) (Linnaeus). However, it is not included in the catalogue, and it only means that it belongs to apes. The author therefore studied the two animals.
