The total length of the black snake can reach more than 2 meters. The head is oblate; the boundary between the head and neck is not obvious. The rostrum can be seen from the back. The internasal scale is wider than long, and the suture line with the rostrum scale is much shorter than the suture line with the nasal scale. The forehead scales are large, and the suture line between the two scales is equal to the distance from its front edge to the snout, wider than long, and the outer edge wraps to the head side. The frontal scales are larger in front and smaller in back, and their length is equal to the sum of the internasal scales and forehead scales. The upper eye scales are wide and the length is equal to the distance from the front edge of the frontal scales to the tip of the snout. The nostrils are oval and located between the two nasal scales. There is one buccal scale, which is connected to the 2nd and 3rd upper labial scales.

"Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine": Black Snake is mainly produced in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guizhou, Hubei and other places [1]. 11 Harvesting and primary processing
"Chinese Pharmacopoeia" (2010 edition): If caught in summer and autumn, cut open the abdomen or peel off the head and tail first, remove the internal organs, and plate them. Shape into discs and dry. 12 Properties of Crude Drugs
"Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China" (2010 edition): The snakehead snake is disc-shaped, with a disc diameter of about 16cm. The surface is dark brown or green-black, densely covered with diamond-shaped scales; the scales on the back are in pairs, and the 2 to 4 rows of scales in the center of the back are strongly ridged, forming two black lines running through the entire body. The head is in the middle, oblate, and the eyes are large and sunken, shiny.
There are 8 scales on the upper lip, the 4th and 5th are in the orbit, 1 scale on the cheek, 1 scale under the eyes, which is smaller, and 2 scales behind the eyes. The ridge rises like a roof. The cut edge of the abdomen is curled inward, the spinal muscles are thick, yellowish white or light brown, and the neatly arranged ribs can be seen. The tail is tapered and long, with double rows of scales under the tail. The peeler leaves only the skin scales on the head and tail, and the middle part is smoother. The smell is fishy and the taste is light. 13 Physical and chemical identification
The powder of black tip snake is fluorescent or light brown. The horny scales are nearly colorless or light yellow, with longitudinal stripes on the surface. The surface of the epidermis is densely covered with brown or brown-black pigment particles, which are often connected into a network, branched or aggregated into groups. Striated muscle fibers are light yellow or nearly colorless. There are fine horizontal stripes of alternating light and dark colors. The bone fragments are nearly colorless or light gray and appear as irregular fragments. The bone lacunae are long and spindle-shaped, mostly arranged in the same direction, and the bone canaliculi are dense and thick. 14 Preparation of Black Snake
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a method of grilling the head and tail and taking out the meat ("Waitai Mi Yao") [3].
In the Song Dynasty, wine roasting, vinegar making, baking ("Taiping Shenghui Prescription"), wine baking ("Pediatric Medicine Zhijue"), wine simmering, crisping and concoction were added. Methods include making ("Zonglu of Shengji"), cooking with wine ("Bian Quexinshu"), and burning ("Replacing Materia Medica for Chongxiuzhenghejingzhengzheng") [3].
In the Qing Dynasty, the methods of wine steaming ("Ben Cao Shu") and steaming ("Holing Materia Medica") were added [3].
The main processing methods now include wine soaking, wine roasting, etc. [3]. 14.1 Preparation method of Black Snake 14.1.1 Black Snake
Take the original medicinal materials, remove the head, scales and ash, cut into sections, and sieve out the debris [3]. 14.1.2 Black-tip snake meat
Take the black-tip snake, remove the head, scales and ash, suffocate it with a certain amount of rice wine, take it out while it is wet, remove the skin and bones, cut into sections, dry and sieve away the debris. [3].
For every 100kg of black snake, use 20kg of rice wine[3]. 14.1.3 Wine-coated snake
Take the clean snake segments, add a certain amount of rice wine, mix well, and make it slightly moist. After the wine is absorbed, place it in a frying container, heat it over a slow fire, and stir-fry until It is slightly yellow, take it out and let it cool, then sieve to remove the debris [3].
For every 100kg of black snake segments, use 20kg of rice wine[3]. 14.2 Characteristics of the finished product
The black snake is segment-shaped, with a black or dark brown skin, matte, and a yellowish-white or grayish-brown cross section [3]. Hard quality[3]. The smell is fishy and the taste is light [3].
The meat of black snake is in the shape of segments, without skin and bones, the meat is thick and soft, yellowish white or grayish black[3]. Tough quality[3]. The smell is fishy and slightly alcoholic[3].
The color of Liquor Snake is darker and slightly smells of alcohol[3]. 14.3 Processing effect
The blackhead snake has the function of dispelling wind and relieving itching [3]. For example, Wu She Ointment ("Taiping Shenghui Prescription") is used to treat wind and pruritus; anti-allergic tablets are used to treat eczema and itching ("Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine" Issue 3, 1980) [3].
Roasting with wine can enhance the effect of dispelling wind, dredging collaterals and relieving spasm, and can correct odor and preserve food, making it easier to take and store [3]. It is mostly used for rheumatic arthralgia, numbness of limbs, tight muscles and veins, stroke, crooked mouth and eyes, hemiplegia, convulsions, convulsions, skin tinea, and leprosy [3]. For example, Wu She Wan is used to treat rheumatism and paralysis, and the hands and feet are weak and unable to stretch ("Taiping Shenghui Prescription"); Dingming Powder is used to treat tetanus, the neck is tight and stiff, and the body is stiff ("Shengji Zonglu"); it is used to treat leprosy. Wu She Wan ("Secret Leprosy Pills"); Sanwei Wu She Powder ("Sheng Ji Zong Lu") to treat all dry and wet ringworms [3]. 14.4 Processing research
The whole snakehead contains 17 kinds of amino acid components including lysine, leucine, and aspartic acid [3]. Snake sloughs contain bone kerogen, and muscles contain fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and tropomyosin (TM) [3]. Snake gall contains bile acid and insulin [3].
The aqueous decoction or alcohol extract of Black Snake Snake has significant anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-convulsant effects. The alcohol extract can still resist the occurrence of pentylenetetrazole convulsions in mice, and its anti-convulsant effect is strong Equivalent to 25 mg/kg of phenobarbital sodium [3].
The preparation of Wushao Snake wine can make the water-insoluble lipid components easy to decoct and improve its anticonvulsant effect [3]. At the same time, it can prevent the snake from mildew, deterioration, and insect infestation [3].
The head and skin of the black snake are the main basis for species identification and should be retained during processing in the place of origin for identification [3]. Others believe that the snake is a non-venomous snake with no venom glands on its head. In order to save medicinal materials, the head may not be removed when preparing it [3].
For research on the processing technology of wine-roasted black snake, there are reports that take clean black snake segments, mix them with rice wine, put them in a container, cover them, and put them in the oven to suffocate at 30C for 30 minutes. Take them out and let them cool thoroughly. , then open it and put it into the oven for low temperature drying at 60°C for 15 minutes, take it out and let it cool in a ventilated and dry place [3]. There are also empirical methods of frying bran in wine and roasting it in wine, and steaming, cutting into sections, frying in sand, spraying with wine, and drying [3]. 14.5 Storage method
