蝙蝠（方眠反下方目反崔豹古今注云蝙蝠一名仙鼠一名飛鼠五百歲色白腦重集物則頭垂故謂倒挂蝙蝠食之神仙也）。

Bat (蝙蝠: first character fanqie: f[āng] + [mi]án; the latter fanqie: f[āng] + [m]ù. Cui Bao's Gujin zhu states: 'The bat is also called the immortal rat, and also called the flying rat. At five hundred years of age its color turns white and its brain becomes heavy; when roosting on objects its head hangs down, hence it is called upside-down hanging. If eaten, one becomes a divine immortal.').
