Also known as Wen Ge (Literally "Literary Clam"). Found everywhere. The fruit is green; large ones are fist-sized and contain many insects inside. Also known as Baichong Cang (Literally "Hundred Insect Granary").
*Tu Jing* states: Wubeizi, old texts do not specify its origin, stating it is found everywhere. Currently, those from Shu (Sichuan) are considered superior.

Large ones are fist-sized and contain many insects. Collected in the ninth lunar month and sun-dried. It is best for generating body fluids.

Shenxiao Qufeng San (Divine Efficacy Wind-Expelling Powder): Wubeizi 1 liang, Manjingzi (Vitex Fruit) 1.5 liang, pounded together into powder. Take 2 qian per dose, add 2 zhen of water, decoct in copper or ceramic vessels until reduced to 1 zhen, clarify the dregs, and wash the eyes while hot. Retain the dregs for two more doses, decocting again according to the previous method for washing. Greatly brightens the eyes and removes astringency and itching.
