（《别录》上品）
【校正】时珍曰∶宋《嘉 》别出蚶条，今据郭璞说合并为一。
【释名】魁陆（《别录》）、蚶（一作
者羹斗之名，蛤形肖之故也。蚶味甘，故从甘。案《岭表录异》云∶南人
钧以其壳似瓦屋之垄，改为瓦屋、瓦垄也。广人重其肉，炙以荐酒，呼为天脔。广人谓之蜜

（收录于《名医别录》上品）
【校正】李时珍说：宋代《嘉祐本草》将蚶单独列出一条，现在依据郭璞的说法将其合并为一条。
【释名】魁陆（出自《名医别录》）、蚶（又写作“蛤”）。名称由来是因为其形状像古代盛酒的斗器，蛤蜊的形状相似，所以得名。蚶的味道甘甜，所以字形从“甘”。据《岭表录异》记载：南方人因为它的壳像瓦屋的垄脊，改称为瓦屋、瓦垄。广东人重视蚶肉，烤熟后用来下酒，称之为“天脔”。广东人称它为蜜丁。《名医别录》说：又名活东，这是错误的。“活东”指的是蝌蚪，见于《尔雅》。
伏老颂曰：《说文解字》说：老蝙蝠化为魁蛤，所以名叫伏老。
【集解】《名医别录》说：魁蛤产于东海。形状正圆，两头中空，表面有纹理。采集没有固定时间。
陶弘景说：形状像纺锤，小而狭长，外面有纵横交错的纹理，说是老蝙蝠所化。
藏器说：蚶生于海中。壳像瓦屋。
李时珍说：按郭璞《尔雅注》所说：魁陆就是现在的蚶。形状像小蛤蜊但更圆润厚实。《临海异物志》说：蚶的肉……（原文此处似有缺漏或排版错误，依文意补全逻辑）
【气味】味甘，性平，无毒。陈鼎说：性寒。萧炳说：性温。凡是吃完后，要用饭压住它，否则会导致人口干。
【主治】痿痹（肢体萎软麻木），泄痢便脓血，以及免生疮肿热毒（陈鼎）。心腹冷气，腰痛（萧炳）。
壳
【修治】《日华子本草》说：凡是用壳，取存放已久的，用炭火煅烧至红透，用米醋淬炼三次。
【气味】味甘、咸，性平，无毒。
【主治】烧过后，用醋淬炼，制成醋丸服用，治疗各种血气病、冷气、症癖（积聚肿块）（《日华子本草》）。戴原礼说：连同肉一起烧至存性，研成粉末，敷在小儿走马牙疳上有效（李时珍）。
(Recorded in the Upper Grade of *Bie Lu*)
[Correction] Li Shizhen stated: In the Song Dynasty's *Jiayao Bencao*, the clam was listed as a separate entry. Now, following Guo Pu's explanation, it is merged into one entry.
[Names] Kuilu (from *Bie Lu*), Han (also written as "Ge"). The name originates from its resemblance to a Dou (a type of ancient wine vessel); since the shell resembles this shape, it is named accordingly. The taste of Han is sweet, hence the character includes the radical for "sweet" (Gan). According to *Lingbiao Luyi*: People in the south changed the name to Wa Wu and Wa Long because the shell resembles the ridge of a tiled roof. People in Guangdong value its meat, roasting it to accompany wine, calling it Tian Luan. People in Guangdong call it Mi Ding. *Mingyi Bie Lu* states: Also known as Huodong, which is incorrect. "Huodong" refers to tadpoles, as seen in *Erya*.
Fu Lao Song says: *Shuowen Jiezi* states that old bats transform into Kui Ge, hence the name Fu Lao.
[Collection and Explanation] *Bie Lu* states: Kui Ge grows in the East Sea. It is perfectly round, hollow at both ends, with patterns on the surface. It can be harvested at any time.
Tao Hongjing stated: Its shape is like a spindle, small and narrow, with longitudinal and transverse textures on the outside. It is said to be transformed from old bats.
Baosheng stated: It is now produced in Laizhou. Its shape is round and long, resembling a large-belly betel nut, with holes at both ends.
Zangqi stated: Han grows in the sea. The shell is like a tiled roof.
Li Shizhen stated: According to Guo Pu's *Annotation to Erya*: Kuilu is the Han of today. Its shape is like a small clam but rounder and thicker. *Linhai Yiwuzhi* states: The meat of Han... [Text appears incomplete in source].
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet, neutral, non-toxic. Chen Ding stated: Cold. Xiao Bing stated: Warm. After eating, one should eat rice to settle it; otherwise, it causes dryness of the mouth.
Li Shizhen stated: According to Liu Xun: Roasted consumption benefits people. Consuming too much obstructs Qi flow.
[Indications] Wei Bi (flaccidity and numbness), dysentery with pus and blood in stool, and preventing sores, swelling, and heat toxins (Chen Ding). Cold qi in the heart and abdomen, lower back pain (Xiao Bing).
Shell
[Processing] *Ri Hua Zi Bencao* states: When used, take aged shells, calcine them over charcoal fire until red-hot, and quench them in rice vinegar three times.
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet, salty, neutral, non-toxic.
[Indications] Calcined and quenched in vinegar, formed into pills with vinegar, treats all types of Blood and Qi disorders, cold qi, and accumulations/masses (Zheng Pi) (*Ri Hua Zi Bencao*). Dai Yuanli stated: Burned together with the meat until carbonized (preserving efficacy), ground into powder, and applied to children's gan gangrene (noma/stomatitis), effective (Li Shizhen).
[Elucidation] Li Shizhen stated: Salty flavor enters the Blood level and softens hardness; therefore, Walongzi (clam shell) can dissolve blood stasis and dissipate phlegm accumulation.
