　　Cordyceps Cicadae Shing is a type of cordyceps similar to caterpillar fungus (Cordyceps sinensis). Historical records of wild Cordyceps Cicadae Shing predate those of caterpillar fungus by 800 years, and as a traditional Chinese medicinal material, it has been renowned worldwide for a long time. There are many varieties of Cordyceps Cicadae Shing, but those produced in Zhangzhou, southern Fujian, are the most precious and are often referred to as "Zhangzhou Golden Cicada Flower" in the traditional Chinese medicine community. The cicadas produced in Chengxi have a yellowish-green hue, are entirely free of fine hairs, and have golden-green eyes, hence the name "Golden Cicada." In Hong Kong and the South Seas archipelago, the Cordyceps Cicadae Shing and cast-off cicada skins produced in the Zhangzhou area are commonly known as "Chengxi Golden Cicada," widely used among overseas communities, and treasured as collectible items.
