关于熊胆的真伪鉴别,目前国内有些资料说:熊胆能“分沉”(投入水中下沉有黄线)、驱尘、分墨,味苦透鼻,火烧(烫)无腥臭味等。这些现象熊胆的确具备,但这是否是熊胆的专属性,是否只有熊胆才具备这些特点呢?我觉得有进一步探讨的必要。本人多次试验和多年的观察,见到牛、羊、猪胆等都能驱尘、分墨,皆味苦透鼻。这些现象似乎不是熊胆的专属性,故不可以做为鉴别熊胆真伪的主要依据。只能同如胆囊皮的厚薄、胆囊和胆管的形状等一样,做鉴定真伪时的参考。有的药书说,熊胆,气微清香或微腥,味苦回甜,呈稠膏药状等似乎欠妥。熊胆同其他胆一样苦后绝无回甜之理,而是口尝少许,先有甜的感觉,随即 Regarding the authenticity of the bear gallbladder, at present there are some domestic sources saying that bear bile can “submerge” (into the water sinks with yellow lines), drive dust, divide ink, taste bitterly, and burn (hot) without stench, etc. . These phenomena bear bile indeed, but this is the specificity of bear bile, whether bear bile has these characteristics? I think it is necessary to further explore. I have repeatedly experimented and observed for many years and saw that cows, sheep, and pig gallbladder can drive dust and ink, and both taste bitter and clear. These phenomena do not seem to be specific to bear bile, so they cannot be used as the main basis for authenticating bear bile. Can only be the same as the thickness of gallbladder skin, gallbladder and bile duct shape, etc., as a reference when authenticating authenticity. Some medicine books say that bear gallbladder, slightly scented or slightly sloppy, bittersweet, sweet, thick paste, etc., seem to be inadequate. Bear bile, like other gallbladders, has no reason to return to sweetness, but instead tastes a bit and first feels sweet.
