Chapter 38 Brave beast

The most unpredictable animal in the world is the green monster called "gut" that parasitizes in the body of all large animals.In the hidden records of ancient Chinese classics, gallbladder is described as such an animal: it hides in the blood-rich lower abdomen of other animals, and is fixed on the viscera of other animals with some white sticky veins.By biting off the skin of any organ, it can get the blood it needs to survive.Due to being submerged in the blood of the host for a long time, the surface of the gall beasts presents some black after blood oxidation, which makes them look more gloomy and terrifying

 In the beginning, Chinese naturalists regarded the bile beast as a sacrosanct animal.The goddess named "Su Nu" mentioned this object when she taught the knowledge of human anatomy to the holy king Huangdi, and said that it was the consultant of the gods in the sky when they made laws.The Chinese Confucian classic "Book of Rites" written around the Warring States Period also specifically pointed out that Confucian believers should not eat any kind of gallbladder beasts, because they are the judges sent by the gods to monitor everyone's behavior.  But the good luck of the brave beast soon passed.People quickly discovered its special function in treating diseases.For this reason, people began to obtain gallbladders parasitic in various animals in large quantities, and dried them for medicine.
