Guo Pu's commentary says: "The bang \[蚌\] is a clam \[𧒏\]." The Book of Changes says: "Things that have pearls in their bellies." The Lüshi chunqiu says: "When the moon is full, clams and bivalves are filled; when the moon is dark, clams and bivalves are empty." The Shuowen says: "A bang is an oyster \[蠣\]; it takes insect \[虫\] as semantic classifier and feng \[丰\] as phonetic." The second is pronounced with the fanqie 甘答. The Book of Rites says: "In the last month of autumn, sparrows enter the great water—that is, the sea; a sparrow of a thousand years turns into a bivalve \[蛤\]." The Shuowen says: "There are three kinds of bivalves, all born in the sea: the oyster bivalve \[蛤蠣\], transformed from a thousand-year-old sparrow, called in Qin the strong oyster \[壯蠣\]; the sea bivalve \[海蛤\], transformed from a hundred-year-old swallow; and the giant clam \[魁蛤\], which is old and also named puluo \[蒲螺\], transformed from a bat. It takes insect \[虫\] as semantic classifier and he \[合\] as phonetic"). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 62.161](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.62.161) - [Next: 62.163](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.62.163) - [Up: 62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.62) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.62.162) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.62.162](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.62.162) · Pramāṇa
