陈藏器说：这种虫子生长在枸杞树上，吃枸杞叶，形状像蚕，会结茧。在变成蛹的时候采集它，晒干后收藏备用。

【集解】陈藏器说：青蚨产于南海。形状像蝉，它的卵附着在木头上。用它涂在钱币上，钱币都会自动回到原处。《搜神记》记载：南方有一种虫子叫[虫字旁+委]，体型大如蝉，味道辛辣鲜美可以食用。找到它就能知道其巢穴所在。杀死母虫用其血涂钱，用子虫的血贯钱，花出去的钱会自动回来。《淮南子·万毕术》说：青蚨还钱。
高诱注释说：青蚨又名鱼父、鱼伯。把它的母子分别放在瓮中，埋在向东行走的阴墙下。三天后打开，它们就会互相跟随。用母虫的血涂八十一枚铜钱，用子虫的血涂八十一枚铜钱。保留子虫使用母虫涂的钱，或保留母虫使用子虫涂的钱，钱都会自动回来。
李珣说：据《异物志》记载：……磨成粉末，用来涂钱，用于交易给人，白天花出晚上收回。又能固精、缩小便，也是人间难得之物。
李时珍说：据《异物志》记载：青蚨形状像蝉但身体较长。它的卵像虾子，附着在草叶上。得到它的卵，母虫就会飞来。煎煮食用味道辛辣而鲜美。《岣嵝神书》说：青蚨又名蒲虻，像小蝉一样，多聚集在蒲叶上。春天在蒲草上产卵，每行八个或九个，像……涂在钱币上，买东西后钱仍会自动归还，使用无穷无尽，确实是仙术。这些说法都大致相似。只是陈藏器说卵附着在木头上，稍有不同。而许慎的《说文解字》也说：青蚨是水虫。大概是水虫却在草木上产卵罢了。
【气味】味辛，性温，无毒。
【主治】补益中气，补益阳气之道，去除寒气，使人面色红润光泽（陈藏器）。
【附录】庞降 李时珍说：据刘恂《岭表录异》记载：庞降产于岭南，多像蜩蝉，腹部青色且薄。它的名字就是自己的叫声，只能听到声音却很难抓到。人们以高价求购作为媚药。按此描述形状似蝉，可作为媚药，与李珞《海药本草》中关于青蚨雌雄不舍、固精的说法相符。恐怕也是青蚨一类，生活在树木上的种类。
(From *Haiyao Bencao*)
**Names**: [Name omitted in source text] (From *Erya*).
**Collected Explanations**:
Chen Cangqi stated: This insect lives on the goji berry (*Lycium chinense*) plant, feeding on its leaves. It resembles a silkworm and spins a cocoon. It should be collected when it becomes a pupa, dried in the sun, and stored for use.
Li Shizhen stated: This is what *Erya* refers to as "[Insect radical + Wei], Wu Zi." The [Insect radical + Wei] found on various plants...
**Flavor and Properties**: Salty, warm, non-toxic.
**Indications**: Tonifies the pathway of Yang, promotes luster and fertility. When roasted until yellow and mixed with powdered Rehmannia root (*Shu Dihuang*) to form pills, it greatly tonifies Yang and benefits essence, treating impotence and related conditions caused by Kidney deficiency (Li Shizhen, citing *Puji Fang*).
(From *Bencao Gangmu*)
**Collected Explanations**:
Li Shizhen stated: It grows among the branches and leaves of [Plant name omitted]. It resembles an inchworm and is green in color.
**Indications**: Inguinal hernia involving the Small Intestine channel (Li Shizhen).
(Twenty-two species under Oviparous Class)
(From *Haiyao Bencao*)
**Names**: Fu Chan (Cicada-like insect), [Insect radical + Wei] Wo ([Sound similar to "Wei"]).
**Collected Explanations**:
Chen Cangqi stated: Qingfu is produced in the South Sea. It resembles a cicada, and its eggs attach to wood. If applied to coins, the coins will return to their owner. *Soushen Ji* records: There is an insect in the south called [Insect radical + Wei], large as a cicada, with a pungent and delicious taste that makes it edible. Finding it reveals its location. Killing the mother and applying her blood to coins, while using the offspring's blood to string coins, causes the spent money to return automatically. *Huainanzi · Wanbi Shu* states: Qingfu returns money.
Gao You commented: Qingfu is also known as Yufu or Yubo. By placing the mother and offspring separately in jars and burying them under a north-facing wall along an eastward path, after three days opening the jars reveals they follow each other. Applying mother's blood to 81 coins and offspring's blood to another 81 coins ensures that whichever set is kept, the other set used for transactions will return.
Li Xun stated: According to *Yiwuzhi*: ...ground into powder and applied to coins for trade; money spent during the day returns at night. It can also consolidate essence and reduce urination frequency, making it a rare item.
Li Shizhen stated: According to *Yiwuzhi*: Qingfu resembles a cicada but is elongated. Its eggs resemble shrimp roe and attach to grass leaves. Obtaining the eggs attracts the mother. When boiled and eaten, it is pungent and delicious. *Gulou Shenshu* states: Qingfu is also named Pumeng, resembling a small cicada, often gathering on cattail leaves. In spring, it lays eggs on cattails, forming rows of eight or nine. [Text fragment missing] applied to coins, purchased goods' money returns automatically, allowing infinite use, truly a magical art. These accounts are largely consistent. However, Chen Cangqi stated the eggs attach to wood, which differs slightly. Xu Shen's *Shuowen Jiezi* also states: Qingfu is an aquatic insect. It seems to be an aquatic insect that lays eggs on vegetation.
**Flavor and Properties**: Pungent, warm, non-toxic.
**Indications**: Tonifies the Middle Jiao, benefits the pathway of Yang, expels cold qi, and promotes skin luster (Chen Cangqi).
**Appendix**: Pangjiang Li Shizhen stated: According to Liu Xun's *Lingbiao Luyi*: Pangjiang is produced in Lingnan, resembling cicadas, with a thin, green abdomen. Its name is self-referential (onomatopoeic); one hears its call but rarely catches it. People seek it at high prices as an aphrodisiac. Based on its shape resembling a cicada and use as an aphrodisiac, it aligns with Li Xun's description in *Haiyao Bencao* regarding Qingfu's inseparable pair nature and essence-consolidating properties. It is likely a type of Qingfu living on trees.
