[Names] Biao (pronounced like "pi shao"). When processed into glue, it is called Biao Jiao (Fish Mucus Glue).
Chen Cangqi stated: (Pronounced like "zhu ti"), refers to Yu Bai (fish swim bladder).
Li Shizhen stated: Pronounced "zhu yi". The one pronounced "zhu ti" belongs to the sturgeon. According to records: Jia Shang observed fishermen preparing sturgeon intestines in a pit and consuming them. Hence the name, indicating it was obtained by pursuing the sturgeon. Shen Kuo in *Bi Tan* noted: ...is correct. Thus, Song Qiqiu in *Hua Shu* stated: ... It can be processed into glue, also known as [Glue Name].
