Bigu is also called Quegu, Queli, Juegu, Qugu, and Duangu. Taoism believes that when people eat whole grains, feces will accumulate in the intestines, producing foul odor and hindering the path to immortality. For this reason, Taoist priests imitated the immortal behavior described in "Zhuangzi Xiaoyaoyou" of "not eating grains, inhaling wind and drinking dew" in an attempt to achieve the goal of immortality.
