动物排泄的粪便,一般都认为是又脏又臭的废物,只能当作肥料。然而,有些动物的粪便却是疗效确切的中药,有的还是名贵的中药材,在治病中发挥特殊的作用。有趣的是古人也很讲究名字的“包装”,给这些作为药用的动物粪便都起了雅致的名称。 Excrement of feces from animals is generally considered to be dirty and stinky waste and can only be used as fertilizer. However, the excrement of some animals is an effective Chinese medicine, and some are rare Chinese herbal medicines, which play a special role in the treatment of diseases. What is interesting is that the ancients also paid attention to the “packaging” of the name and gave elegant names to these animal faeces.
